Took Morton,s sneech.

A good story is told of oliver p. Nor
ton and Gen. George A. Sheridan, says
the Boston Journal The two orators
Travelled together during one campaign
and made speeches jointly. First Morton
would speak, and them he would be fol-
lowed by Sheridan, who was one of the
brightest and wittiest of orators. Sheri-
dan had a remarkable memory, and was
very fond of a practical joke. Morton
used TO write his speeches, and trust
chiefly to his notes. During the campaign
he delivered the same speech a good many
times, and Sheridan had become so ia
miliar with it that he knew it by heart
One day, when they came before a meet
ing, Sheridan, whose turn 1t was to first
address the audience, got up and recited
Morton's speech word for word, to the
dismay of the governor. When it was
the latter's turn he did not know what to
say, and he had to plead illness.
1t was a long time before Morton for
gave Sheridan the trick, and he had to
make a solemn promise not to repeat it
before Morton would agree to continue
their joint tour.

our EIection system Attncked.

In the October number Of the North
American Review Bishop Merrill of the
Methodist Episcopal church points out
an inequality in our electoral system
which does not appear to have attracted
attention heretofore, and suggests a way
for correcting it. In the election of a
President and Vice President the COM
plant has always been that the small
states, especially the states which have
only one representative in congress. have
a great advantage over the largest
states, because a state which has only the
population of a congressional district has
three presidential electors. while New
York, which has a population which en-
titles her to thirty-four representatives,
has only thirty-six presidential electors,
one for each representative and one for
each Of her senators-the smallest state
having the same number of senators as
the largest.
Bishop Merrill, however, shows that the
small state suffers an inequality far
greater than the one to which attention
has just been called. for the reason that
the voter in the small state has the priv
ilege Of voting for only three presidential
electors, while the voter in New York
votes for thirty-six. Therefore. the voter
in New York has twelve times the power
that the voter in Nevada has. For in
stance If in a presidential election, the
two great parties in New York were so
evenly divided that one vote would give
the majority to one party or the other that
one vote would control thirty-six electoral
votes, while In Nevada, under similar con-
ditions, it would control only three.
To remedy the inequality which he
points out Bishop Merrill suggests that
presidential electors, except those cores
ponding to United States senators, be
chosen by congressional districts. In that
way the Individual voter in the large
states would stand on an equality with
the individual voter of the small states
1t is somewhat remarkable that the in
equality discovered by Bishop Merrill es-
capped detection for so long time.

The car is fond Of exercising on the
bicycle, and is said to be a good wheel
man. While staying recently at the royal
chateau OF Bernstorff, in Denmark, he
one day. in company with Princes VALDEZ
mar and Christian, took a spin along a
highway that led through the forest. He
had dstanced his companions, and had
practically lost his way when he met a
man whom he supposed to be a peasant.
He asked him in Danish to be directed TO
the main highway, and was stupefed to
hear the man answer him in excellent
Russian. He was a Russian detective,
whose duty it was to follow his majesty
in all his wanderings.

Troubles of a Distrtct Leader

got the best of them. Jimmy's district is
all Irish; he hasn't got any other nation
ality and they sent him up 5000 Hebrew
pamphlets 5000 Italian papers and 5000
Scandinavian circulars. He nearly fell
dead when he got 'em. But when he
looked EN- over he picked out the Hebrew
things, and he sent EN- around the dis

Satisfied with Local Option.

The result of the election in this state
settled one thing, and that is that the peo-
pie don't want a general prohibition law.
They prefer local option. The prohibition
issue was squarely presented and pretty
thoroughly discussed. The majority against
1t was very decided.
Ii is not known Of course whether or not
the Bush bill. or any similar bill. viii be
introduced into the Legislature. II it should
be it woldat stand much chance Of re-
celving favorable consideration. Demo-
Gratis now know what the people want. An
expression of opinion has been obtained
from them. All through the campaign it
was distinctly stated that the policy OF the
democratic FATTY was to deal with the Ii
quor question by means of local option.
and that policy was indorsed at
the ballot box. Under the circumstances
the legislature could not very well consid-
er favorably a general prohibition bill.
When The prohibitionists Joined the pop
ulists and nominated a prohibitionist for
governor they were told they were making
a mistake-:hat they were taking a step
in the wrong direction. They refused to
heed the warning. They went ahead and
forced a declaration against a general pro-
hbltory law. II they had continued to act
with the democratic party and had exer-
cised their influence in favor of nominating
candidates for the legislature favorable TO
prohibition they might have succeeded in
having pas sed such a law as they want.
Having opposed the democratic party,
however, and been defeated on the prohibit
ton issue, ;ney cannot very well ask that
party to pass the Bush bill or any other
bill of like character. The prohibition is
sue may be regarded as practically settled
for the present. The work Of adding coun-
ties to the prohibition counties, however.
will doubt SIS he prosecuted as vigorously
as ever under the local option law.

Jack Shepherd AwheeI.

The killing of Sair, the robber, at Ell
more, Mimi, as reported in the dispatches
Of Saturday ends one chapter of a story
of crime as thrilling as has been put on
the official records since the days of
Jesse James, RUDE Burrows and the Dali
tons. There remains another chapter of
the narrative to be written, telling of the
capture or killing of Sair's companion
IN crime, a young man named Pratt.
Sair and Pratt, although apt imitators of
Jack Shepherd. and the long line of his
successors, were strictly up to date in
their business methods. In place of dash
ing into town on horseback, as Bill Dali
ton and his gang used to do in Kansas
and Indian Territory year or two ago,
these fly Minnesota bandits mounted
their trusty bicycles and went forth to
murder and rob- It sometimes occurs
when a robber is fleeing on horseback,
hotly pursued by a sheriff's posse, that
his horse is shot down under him. One
of the Dalton gang, during a raid in
Kansas town, met his death in that man
ner. Sair and Pratt discounted the
chances of having their mounts disabled
at critical moment, and chose steeds
particularly swift, silent, tractabe and
offering a small target to marksmen, for
their purpose.
With masks on their faces they swept
into the little town of Sherburne dashed
into the Bank of Sherburne, murdered
the cashier and a by-stander, secured
1900 from the cash drawer. remounted
their wheels and were off on the wings
of the wind before the astonished town
had time to realize what was going on.
When Sair was cornered he still had his
wheel by him. and slipping out by a
back way. he mounted 1t and was gain
ing on the posse when well directed
shot from a Winchester winged him. The
bicycle may be swifter than the horse.
But the wheel has yet to be invented that
can keep ahead OF a rifle ball.
The murder Of the cashier and his
friend seems to have been purely wanton,
and in keeping with the wild western
style of committing bank robber!es.
Neither Of them made any resistance to
the robbers. They had not time to do
so. They were shot down in cold blood
before they had time to even think what
was the matter. The murder and robbery
occurred inside OF two minutes and in
two minutes more the whirring bicycles
had disappeared with their riders. Ten
minutes later the whole town was on the
track OF the fugitves. But they were
able to get into hiding.
There is probably not any lesson to be
learned from the incident except that
criminally inclined persons are sharp-
witted. and ever on the watch for i'm
proved means to help them to their un-
lawful ends, and that the criminal of the
day is just as desperate and cruel as
any Of those that have populated prisons
or decorated gallowses in the past.

Mr.. Wntson,s Ponition.

Some of our southern contemporaries
are very much displeased with Mr. Tom
Watson because he will not withdraw from
the populist ticket and leave the populists
without a vice presidential candidate.
His withdrawal would simplify the situa-
ton greatly, and would improve the pros
poets of Bryan and Sewal. But can Mr..
Watson withdraw with honor to himself?
He accepted a trust which those who
nominated him want him to retain. If
the populists wanted him to withdraw
they would make the fact known. AS
long as they are satisfied he cannot hon
orably withdraw simply because two or
three of the populist leaders and the DEM
ocrats want him to do so. 1t is a matter
of no consequence to him what the demo-
Gratis want him TO do. He is under no
obligations to accept advice from demo-
cratic sources. Those democratic papers,
therefore, which call upon him to retire
are displaying an astonishing amount OF
gall.
The populists need not vote for him Il
they don't want to, and they can go
ahead and perfect any plans for fusion
they may have. The fact that in many
localities they are not fuslng with either
democrats or republicans shows that a
very large percentage of them intend to
vote for him. As long as that condition
OF affairs exist Mr.. Watson is bound to
remain on the ticket.
The fact that Mr.. Watson lessons some
what the chances Of success Of Bryan and
Sewall is not an argument why he should
withdraw. If that were an argument the
democratic papers which are calling on
Kim to withdraw might with just about
as much reason ask Mckinley and Hobart
to withdraw. We should be glad, Of course.
II Mr.. Watson would withdraw, because
then the entire populist vote would go 10
Bryan and Sewall, but we see no reason
for complaining Of him because he doesn't
withdraw. He was regularly nominated.
and is under obligations to the party
which nominated him. He must be true
to those obligations II he wishes TO re-
tain the respect Of his party
