ever, and the next morning was ar
raigned before Magistrate Crane.
She is middle-aged woman, and in
her youth must have been remarkably
gocd-lo0king. In fact, she is handsome
yet, and her face, Notwithstanding the
marks Of dissipation, is very pleasant.
Her figure is particularly good, and her
yellow hair is soft and luxuriant. When
her case was called she walked un-
aided to the bridge" and there her
husband Joined her. Little attention
was paid to either of them, for, appar-
emily, it was an ordinary police court
case and no one was prepared for a
pathetic scene.
"You are charged with intoxication,"
said the magistrate, addressing Mrs.
Crane. What have you to say?"
The woman paid no attention to the
Inquiry of the court. Instead she
turned to her husband, and in a weak,
unsteady voice said:
take me away, Bruce, I'm fright
ened; please take me home to the chill
dren."
Her husband. however, never looked
at her, but, with his eyes fixed on the
face of the magistrate, and while his
lips quivered and his eyes filled with
tears, exclaimed:
''Your honor, 1 don't know what to do
with my wife, for she is an habitual
drunkard. l have done all in my power
to bring her to herself, and she and my
friends have aided me, but all without
avail. She has been in all kinds of
institutions and sanitariums; private
physicians have treated her, and she is
no better today than she was years ago.
/ can think of nothing better than that
she be placed under restraint"
"Oh, no, Bruce" Mrs. Crane broke in
at this point, at the same time throwing
her arms around her husbands neck
and beginning to cry. Don't send me
away; don't keep me here another min
ute. II you do, I'll surely go crazy.
Please, please take me home.'
Il can't take you home" he said.
You have wrecked our home, you have
wrecked my life"
Don't say that" Mrs. Crane re-
piled. you ought not to say it after all
I have done for you; oh, for the love
of God, don't send me to prison; set
me free and I'll go right to mother in
Troy; or, at least, I'll go just as soon
as have seen the children; but, what
ever you do, don't send me to prison."

and society extended warm welcome
to him and his handsome wife until
such time as her conduct made it i'm
possible. The woman is a drunkard.
The evening before she was found in a
helpless condition, lying upon the side
walk in Eighth avenue, near her home,
and. as blood was flowing from a wound

to Roosevelt hospital in an ambu-

At this Mr.. Crane began to relent,
end. covering his face with his hands,
he sobbed audibly. That made his wife
cry more bitterly.
Try me just once more, Bruce,
dear. the woman went on, realizing,
evidently, that this was her chance,
If she had any. land as live I'll never
taste liquor again. Hear me plead to
you. dear; I plead as 1 never did be-
fore, and as l never will again. Oh.
try me just once more-for my sake and
the children's sake-for the sake of my
unborn child, for"
But here the magistrate broke in.

duty. nevertheless 1t is much better

for. You must brace up. both for her
sake and your own. l think I'll adopt
your suggestion and commit her to
prison until tomorrow morning. Then
you can consult as to what it will be
best to do with her.
At this Mrs. Crane shrieked: "Oh,
don't do that; don't let them keep me:
take me away; for Gods sake take me
away"
Mr.. Crane could do nothing, however,
and court officers stepped forward to
lead the woman away, but scarcely had
they touched her when she fell fainting
to the floor. Then she was carried from
the room. Later a reporter saw her

IomA AN5 an EXpONIrIoN

The lcgislntti.e 81 Iowa, which is soon
to convene In ieNtra session, should not
fail to make such additional appropria-
tion for an exhibit at the TrunsmiSsis
sippi EXpositiqb as will bcht state so
great in natlUal rcsources-a state Of
such vast coaunrrcial interests. The
legislature of iowa meets once every two
years. 1t convened last winter and will
therefore not meet in regular session
again until it would be too late to make
an appropriation to this end. 1t is necCs-
saly that the appropriation shall be made
at the coming extra session
Nothing stands in the way of this
being done, as the proclamation of Gov
Crnor Drake does not continc the lcgis-
laure to any particular field of action
Last winter the legislature passed Il bill
appropriating $4,000, with the quite
general understanding that this amount
was simply intended as IN exhibition of
interest and good faith in the project
and that an additional appropriation of
not less than $T5.OOu would follow.
Whatever doubt cNistca in the minds of
the people of Iowa at that time as to
the merit of the undertaking and the
advantages to be gained. it must br clear
to them now that the proposed eXpoSi-
ton will b. one of mammoth proper
tiCnS and one ut which no western state
especially great agricultural state
like Iowa-can afford to be poorly rep
resented.
Iowa owes it TO herself to be liberal in
this matter, perhaps as much, if not
more, than does any other state. Being
traversed by the great trunk lines over
which the eastern capitalists will have
to travel in coming to and returning
from the exposition, Iowa Will be dually
benefited by the exhibit she makes of
her products and by having her sweep
ing fields of grain ana long stretches of
fertile soil personally viewed by people
Of enterprise and means.

There Is no reason why Senator Aliens
resolution to inquire into the question OF
using money in elections should have Gre
ated a "stir" in the senate yesterday 1t
was simply a bit of buncombe, essentially
Allenesque and thoroughly harmless. or
course there was plenty Of money spent in
the campaign, and each party got all II
could. Much OF 1t was spent legitimately,
though probably wastefully and foolishly
and probably some part was disbursed con-
trary to law. But the purpose of Senator
Allen was not primarily to discover the rel
atiye portions of the fund devoted to proper
and improper purposes. His object was to
get a fling at the bankers the manu-
facturers the railroads or other corporations
and the millionaiTes" and incidentally
maybe, TO exploit his disappointment that
the silver mine owners didn't fulfill populist
expectations in the liberality OF their con-
tributions. In any event, the election Is
over, and there is nothing to be gained by
such inquiries as Senator Aliens resolution
cOntemplates Ii Is to be regretted that so
much money Is spent in party campaigns,
but the educational work in the last canvass
was prodigiOus and probably worth all II
cost. But, whether that be true or not II
Is clear that the evil will not be corrected
by such processes as Senator Allen is en-
deayoring to put In motion.

AN EXECUTIVE POWER.


The country will find reinsurance in
the interview given out by Secretary
Olney in reference to the position of
the senate foreign relations committee
on the Cuban issue. The secretary of
state points out that the power to recOg-
nize the so-called republic of Cuba as
an Independent state rests exclusively
with the executive and he pretty
plainly implies that the president will
not aDdicatC this power to congress-
that is to say, that he will not necesSa-
rily be governed by any action that con
greSs may take in the matter. The
resolution which it is proposed to report
to the senate on Monday is joint rcSo-
luton and therefore recurring SubmiS-
sion to the president for his approval
or diSapproyal if it should pass both
branches Of congress. In the event of
its being disapproyed by the president
it might be passed over his veto, in
which case there might arise an issue
between the legislative and executive
branches of the government, growing
out of the refusal of the president to
carry the resolution into effect That
the president would refuse 10 act is
hardly to be doubted. lie would prob
ably hold that congress had sought
to uSurp authority which belongs eX-
clusively to the executive and which
could not be countenanced without CS-
tabllshing II dangerous precedent. He
iSt I'm ntni ipi b;,
elusive power in the matter and it is
highly probable that he would have the
support of the country in doing so.
The secretary of state points out the
probable i'll effects that would follow
the adoption by congress of such Il
resolution as the SENATE committee has
agreed upon and they are of II nature
which cannot fail to arrest the atten-
tiOn of the country. If the protection
of the lives and property of our citi-
ZenS in Spain or elsewhere is to be in
any degree ieopardized by the passage
of the proposed resolution and It would
be futile so far as the Cubans are con
cerned no sensible man can doubt that
it should not be passed and that the
wise course would be to abandon IT,
We take it that the interview of Spcrc-
taIy Olney was designed to suggest this.
If the resolution is certain to- fail of its
purpose il is folly TO press it. If its
adoption would serve only to hold out
false hope TO the Cubans and to excite
popular passions here and in Spain.
there is no justification for adopting
IT. 1t is not needed TO attest American
sympathy with the Cuban cause. The
world fully understands the sentiment
Of our people and this would not be
made any clearer by the contemplated
action.
1t Is to be expected that the state
ment Of the secretary OF state, which
will command the respectful consdera-
tion of all thoughtful and conservative
men, will tend to induce members of
congress to give more careful delibera-
tion to this matter than some OF them
