The argument Of Senator Rurrov.

The argument Of Senator Burrows
on the Du Pont case has received
particularly high praise from his
brother Senator's, and all who heard
1t. 1t showed unusual research, and
brought to light many facts and prec.

which were a surprise to both sides,
and strongly supported Du Points

The Auditor General.

The indications point to the nomi-
nation of Hon. U. G. Tompkins of
Lansing by the Republican state
convention for the position OF Audi.
tor General.
From personal acquaintance with
Mr.. Tompkins we know that he is
we'll qualified for the position, and is
gentleman who wsuld be a credit
to the party and to the state. He
would be vigorous and fearless OIL
cial, who would perform the duties of
bis Office In a most satisfactory man.

The following press clippings show
what some OF the Republican papers
of the state think Of MIR. TOmpkins:
st. Ignace News: O. G, Tompkins'
nomination for auditor general is a
foregone conclusion, and the ,nomina-
tion is equal t. an election. No bet
ter man for this important position
could he found. He has been in such
close touch with the affairs of this
office that 1t will seem to him only a
continuation of his previous labor for
the state.
Sparta Sent'nel: Those who seem
to know most about political matt rs
coucede that 0. G. Tompkins has a
very fine show to be nominated for
auditor general at the Republican
state convention. Mr.. TOmpkins is a
gentleman whom we think to be en-
inently worthy of the honor, and
should he be nominated and elected
he will do credit to the Republican
party.

Tompkins Is well known throughout

and his nomination seems reasonably
assured. So generally is Mr.. Temp

THE FRENCH BLAOKMAILERS.

American sympathy is almost unani-
mously against the German Emperor in
his prosecution against editors for leze-
Majesty, but in view of the recent dis
closures of blackmailing schemes by
journalists in France, it seems a pity
that Emperor Williams drastic methods
could not be employed long enough in
France to cleanse the staff of some of
the leading Partisan Journals of a gang
of blackmailers and pirates.
The shoal of sharpers, gamblers, ex-
convicts and nominal newspaper writ
ers who bounded Max Lebaudy to death
and bled him to the extent of hundreds
of thousand of francs eclipses even the
records of the Partisan press in venality.
Max Lebaudy was the son of million
aire, and on arriving at the legal age in
1894. entered the army. The severities
of the service soon made him i'll, and
had he been the son of French peas
ant he would have had no difficulty in
leaving the service. But the blackmail-
ers of the press at once began their cam
paign, arguing that his sickness was pro-
badly feigned and that no favors should
be shown to this young man whose only
fault was that his father was a million
aire. In country where public opinion
is so easily influenced as in France
these blackmailers easily carried their
scheme through with the result that
young Lebaudy, as stated, was bled to
the extent of about half his fortune in
order to silence the pens of one set of
these mendacious scribes, and to pay
another set, their partners, for present.
ing his case justly. The death of the
victim revealed this scandal and as a re-
suit the world of journalism is made
purer in France by having these scoun-
drels detected. Among them is one
Jacques st. Cere. whose foreign dis
patches over his assumed name were
long familiar to the readers of leading
Chicago and New York journals.

THE opportunity of being present at
the opening of the Ryder Lectures IN
Chicago has naturally turned many
thoughts to the useful and noble man
whom they commemorate. 1t was my
pleasure during more than score OF
years to write the name OF William
Henry Ryder on my list of close personal
friends. In that period we never met
without having long and confidential
conversation, in which l felt that ne
was opening his mind and heart 10 me
with an unreserve rare to a man OF MS
temperament and habits. A similar
confidence was shown in his letters 10
me. That should often think OF him
of his desires and plans and views, OF
the work he did and the space he filled
and the spirit that swayed his life, is but
the spontaneous tribute of intelligent
friendship. These frequent musings OF
memory acquired character OF peculiar
intensity as l gathered with the elect
company who enjoyed the privilege OF
that first course in the Ryder lecture
ship of Chicago.
reflected that Chicago has many and
strong reasons for cherishing the mem
ory of DIR. Ryder. He was for nearly
thirty years one of her most eminent
citizens. His professional position was
distinguished; but this was the smaller
part of his title to public esteem. He
early entered with sagacity and enthusi-
asm into the life Of the city. He saw it's
vast promise and he believed in its met
ropolitan destiny. When he uttered the
word "Chicago" to an Eastern friend
the accent of empire was in the tone.
His relations as fellow business man and
civic counsellor with the leading men OF
the city became established as those Of
a recognized personal and public force.
In 1886, when he had every reason to an
ticipate yet many years of active partici-
patton in the concerns of the central
metropolis, he drew his will in such
terms as to vindicate his deep interest
in the welfare of Chicago. He gave ten
thousand dollars to the Old Peoples
Home of Chicago, ten thousand to the
Chicago Hospital for Women and Chill
dren, ten thousand to the Chicago Pub
lie Library and ten thousand to st.
Paul's Church, Chicago. But the be.
quest which reveals most strongly his
studious care for the higher good of the
city is that which founded the lectures
before referred to, and is numbered
thirteen in his last will and testament.
1t is worthy of reproduction here.
II give and bequeath to Board Of
Trustees, to be composed of the pastor

iarly known as "Bill" Nye, which had
been expected for several days, at his
home near Asheville, N. O., took place
Saturday afternoon. Ten days ago he
had stroke of paralysis much more Sc

Edgar Willis Nye was born at Shirley,
Me-, Aug. %. 1850. but at the age of two
years, according to his own story, he
took his parents by the hand and led
them to the West. They went to Wis
consin. and there on the banks of the
st. Croix river, young Nye was brought
up on farm. He received an academic
education at River Falls. Wis, and in
1876 went to Wyoming territory, where
he studied law and was admitted to the
bar. He afterward entered journalism.
His fame as humorist was as wide as
the country. and as man he was gener-
ally esteemed as bright companion and
beloved friend.

of the Church of the Redeemer. There
has been no deficit this year in the
church or in any society connected with
the church.
Macomb.-A short time ago the young
people of this church gave a reception

A number of sociables have been given,
and part of the proceeds has been ad-
