The Illinois senntorshin.

If the republicans of Illinois were to de-
liberately set out to throw away the ad-
vantage gained by them in the recent
election they could proceed in no manner
better calculated to accomplish that re-
suit than the course they are pursuing
in the matter of the selection of a United
States senator to succeed that grand old
man, John NJ. Palmer. The leading repub-
lican newspapers of Illinois pitched their
campaign upon rather high plane and
the most prominent of the party leaders
fell into line with them. They shouted
loudly for the viudicaton of the national
honor; demanded that right principles
should be upheld; that socialism should be
discountenanced, and the like. They made
a fight on sharp practice in politics, on
Gov. Altgeld, and on the anarchistic prin-
ciples he is supposed to represent. They
fought hard and won brilliant victory.
Having assumed in the campaign an at
titude of eminent responsibility, and hav-
ing won, it was to be expected that the
republicans of Illinois would seek to make
the most of their advantage by placing
only men of high character and recognized
ability on guard. Especially is this
true of the office of United States senator
the highest in the gift of the people of
Illinois. Yet it transpires that the leading
candidate for the successorship to Gen.
Palmer is one Martin B. Madden, an al
derman, a ward heller, a small-bore poll
tician of Chicago. who has nothing to
recommend him except his unmitigated
gall, and a very mysterious pull with
the bosses of the machine. 1t is strongly
intimated by the Chicago papers that
Madden has the backing of John r. Tan
ner, the governor-elect, whose own candi-
dacy was so rank an affront to clean
politics that some of the best men in the
republican party of the state bolted him,
but later were induced to give him their
support only because Of the force of the
argument that as between Altgeld and
Tanner, the latter was the lesser evil,
| and to defeat Tanner might lose the state
to the national ticket
Madden is not yet elected to the SEN
atorship, to be sure. But he is tacitly the
/ candidate of the machine. and it is the
| opinion that the machineecan elect its
! man. To send Madden to the Senate
would be to give Altgeld an opportunity
to regain the power he lost last month.
He is not yet politically dead. He is very
much alive, and is on the lookout for
blunders by the republicans which may
be turned to good account

matter, it may be possible for the politi-

WILL PURCHASE A FARM.
The Presbyterian Orphanage
Selects Thirty Acres at
San Anselmo.
As Soon as the Purchase Money Is
Raised Blu lding Will Be
B gun.

The Board Of the San Francisco Orphan
age and Farm met yesterday afternoon,
and it was unanimously resolved to pur-
chase thirty acre tract of land near the
Presbyterian Theological Seminary at San
Anselmo.
The land is said to contain all the re-
qulrements for making the orphanage and
farm an ideal institution. 1t is rolling
ground, is well watered winter and sum-
mer and contains fine avenue of trees, on
which the various buildings will be
erected. Another advantage is its near
ness to the seminary, which will enable
the children of the orphanage to attend
Sunday school and the inmates of the
proposed Old Lad les Home to attend
services, If they desire to do so.
The price of the property is $4,000, and
though not much more than $500 has
already been pledged, the ladies of the
board are confident that they Will be en-
abled to raise the $500 before long. Long
experience in charitable work has taught
them not to build till there is DO de BIT on
the land. At the meeting last Monday
eight OF the ladies present pledged them
selves to raise 500 each. Yesterday one
OF these ladies reported that Mrs. II. T.
Crocker had given $500, and it is under
SbOOu tndI lie OtueT lauleS are working
harQ TO bring In the amount for which
they are pledged within short time. In
addition to these eight pledges $500 has
also been promised.
Mrs. 2. D. Browne, the presid ent of the
board, has number of plans on hand for
raising the purchase money within as
short a time as possible. 1t is possible
that the Presbyterian Sunday-schools all
over the State will be requested to offer
10-cent pledges to the pupils, and the
Christian Endeavor societies and the
Kings Daughters will also be requested to
take 10-cent pledges.
As soon as the purchase money is raised
work will be begun in earnest on the
buildings on the farm. The Old Ladies'
Home will go up first, for the money to
build it is already donated. The next
building will be an emergency cottage, in
which orphans, half-orphans and destl-
tute children will be received without any
red-tapeism till their cases can be investi-
gated.
General McComb. for instance, of the
Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty to
Children, will be able to send children to
this cottage while their cases are being
investigated. Although the orphanage is
under the care of the Pres byterian church,
1t is quite undenominational with regard
to its inmates.
The present building of the orphanage
at San Rafael IS overcrowded with It's
seventy inmates, so that as soon as ever
funds will permit a new home will be
built at San Anselmo, where the children
will all be taught a trade. Those wh1
desire TO learn farming will have excellent
opportunities of doing SO, for it is pro-
posed to cultivate the land and raise vege-
tables as well as butter, eggs, etc.

The story opens with three miners in
