Newspapers are great educators, but
sometimes they receive a boomerang
shock while their %precocious pupils
~serenely establish their own original
ideas. When Carter Harrison ran for
mayor of Chicago, he was most vicious
ly attacked by every big journal of the
city, yet he was elected by an over
whelmning majority and the same pa
pers were forced to acknowledge his
wise and %iudicious administration.
Thus may be the result of the presiden-
tial election, and out of the chaos OF
boilers from all sides and parties, right
will triumph. Vituberation and satire,
as arguments. go for naught and will
strengthen rather than harm the posi-
ton of the young oracle of the Platte

CITY HALL NOTES.
Diphtheria Spread by a Nurse Who

MIR. Hopkins Need Of an Assistant.
Plumbing Ordinance Amended.

Superintendent OF Health Chaplin had
peculiar case come under his surveillance
yesterday. when a negro woman with n
sore throat, which she had doctored her.
self, transmitted diphtheria to six persons,
two OF whom died. She Is nurse and q
short time ago went to Thornton to nurse
a woman. While there, II Is said, there
was diphtheria In family next door,
and she may have caught IL. At any rate,
she returned to Providence April 2 TO
nurse a woman in confinement. The sore
throat appeared then and the nurse doc
tored 1t herself. She left this place on
April and the next day the child was
taken sick with diphtheria and died.
Shortly afterward another child In the
same house was stricken with the disease.
This was In the Fifth Ward. From this
house the nurse with the sore throat went
to South Providence TO nurse another
woman in confinement and the child in
this instance took the disease and died
and the mother also came down with
diphtheria, as did her sister, who is a near
neighbor, and was in ana out OF the
house during the confinement. BY this
time the Board OF Health got trace of the
coiored nurse with the "sore throat, and
called at her house yesterday afternoon,
only to find that yesterday morning she
had gone to Massachusetts. While that
relieves the board of further responsible
ity, SO far as she is concerned, IL serves
to emphasize the danger Of people doctor
ing their own "sore throats." especially
when they know there has been diphthe-
ria in their immediate neighborhood. The
names are Withheld by request.
Inspector OF Buildings Hopkins seldom
asks the Board Of Aldermen for anything,
so when he wants an assistant Inspector
and meets with delay he naturally feels
little disappointed. That the need OF an
assistant Is imperative will not be ques-
toned by any body who Is familiar with
the demands of the department, especial
ly when It is known that Mr.. Hopkins
could not leave his Office to attend his
own neice's funeral. He says he can ex-
plain to the Board why he needs an as
sistant and intends to do SO.
There seems to have been some misun-
derstapding about the request OF commits

UTAH LAND BILL
Was Taken Up for Discus
sion in the Senate.
Interrupted Hills Speech
Against Bond Inquiry.
Bill PensiOning Rear-Admiral Fair
fax's Widow Passed.

WASHINGTON, april IA controversy
over the parliamentary status OF the bond
resolution came up soon after the Senate
session opened today. Mr.. Cannon
(Rep., Utah. pointed out that the Utah
land resolution had been displaced by the
bond resolution and he desired 10 go on
with the Utah question. -
There was prospect OF test vote on
keeping the pond question before the
Senate, but this was avoided by an under
standing that II the Utah case came up
the bond resolution would remain the
unfinished business and would come up
at O'Clock. Ihe attendance was so
rneagre that call for a quorum was or
dered. showing b7 Senators present.
The Utah land resolution was then
taken up. IL directs the Secretary of the
interior TO open the Uncompahgre lndi-
an reservation without further delay.
The debate had the effect OF postponing
the speech OF Senator Hill begun yester-
lay in opposition to the bond resolution.
After Mr.. Brown had spoken for the
resolution he sought TO secure a vote bot
Mr.. German asked that action be de-
ferred owing to the absence OF Mr.. Villas
who desired to be heard. This brought
ON a warm coiloquy MIR. Aldrich Rep,
Il. ]. y, said IL must ~te clear that there
was something behind" these efforts at
delay and this persistence In putting of
votes.
Mr.. German responded that II was the
first intimation coming from distin-
guished Senator on the other side OF the
chamber that delays in public business
were occurring.
In The House.
The approach OF the final adjournment
OF Congress is indicated by the great
pressure at the opening OF each session of
!he House for unanimous consent for the
passage of minor bills. Today, fully 30
members were clamoring for recognition
when the House convened. Several bills
were passed by unanimous consent, in
cluding pension bills, bills TO donate
condemned cannon to g. A. X. posts,
etc.
Mr.. Pickler then demanded the regular
order. This being Friday, the day under
the rules was devoted to the consideration
OF private bills. Some pension bills favor
ably acted upon at the last Friday night
session were first disposed OF.
Mr.. Loud, Republican, California, de-
manied the ayes and noes OF the bill to
pension the widow of Admiral
Donald Mcneil Fairfax, at the rate of $50
per month. He fought the bill in COM
mittee on the general ground of opposi-
tion to large pensions for ofiicers'..widow.
The ayes ana noes were, however, re-
fused, and the bill was passed, with divi-
sion.

COL, v. A. TAYLOR,
Noting the Craftsmanship of
our Senator Falcon,
Remarks

Between Senator Falcon of Athens
and Representative Norris of Wood,
the beer jerkers and the beer drink
ers are threatened with serious en-
barassments.
The senator has set out to have a
tax of cent imposed Oh each gallon
of beer, froth and all, and the repre-
sentative has got bill through the
house to impose fine of from s3 to $50
on any man who Greats another.
To have been perfectly fair and
just, Mr.. Norris should have added a
section fining the man who accepts
the treat from $50 to $500. As a
rule the treatee is more deserving Of
punishment than the treator. The bill
should be so amended in the senate.
And Senator Falcon might i'm
prove his bill considerably by levey-
ing good stiff tax on "the growler
can" 1t is estimated that down in
the town of Athens, owing to the
high moral attitude of its Republi-
can Inhabitants, a tax of l cent upon
each rush of the can would yield a
revenue large enough to relieve the
constipated condition of the state
treasury.

A MANSION FOR THE
GOVERNOR.

Since the foundation of our state
the governors. who are but temporary
residents in the capital, have rented
houses and lived like any other repu
table Ohio man, engaged in incidenta
affairs in the city.
But this is not satisfactory to the
money bags who have got control
now.
Col. Fleischman, one Of those grand
enterprising public spirited citizens
of Cincinnati who suffer themselves
to be sent to the legislature for be-
nevolent purposes, is urging the
passage of bill that provides an ap-
preparation of several hundred thous-
and dollars for Governors Man
sion. The noble Cincinnati states
man sees the embarrassment of our
multi-millionaire governor, although
occupying princely suite Of rooms
in one of the finest hotels on the con-
tinent, in this that he is compelled to
pay rent, drawing only about $4,000
month for the time he is in the city,
and worse still is annoyed by being
compelled to eat and sleep under the
same root with other men.
Fleisohman is Cincinnati.distiller;
His income is rated at $4,000 day.
He is benevolent in heart, and as a
statesman for the state, he proposes
the people. the d ID people, shall
pay in additional taxes the sum of
$500, OO0.O for a Governors Man
sion, furnished and free of rent to ths
millionaire Bushnell who boasts a
pedigree.
Why don't distiller Fleischman put
some more water In his whiskey,
make contribution of months sal
ary and take all the glory of the Man.
sion to himself and the sanctitied
cause of the liquor traffic and the
noble army Of saloon keepers who
elected the governor and his senator.
The next we may expect is to see
the Fleischmans and the benevolent
grand souls of his kith insisting on
having separate wings built to the
capitol, and thus be removed from
the stupid companionship of that
common herd of Legislators who pay
taxes with money earned by hoeing
corn and potatoes.

RING THE CURFEW.

The lettering on the corners, gad-
ding up and down the streets at un-
reasonable hours of the night, by
half grown boys and girls hss gone
on to such an extent that decency is
shocked and the business men OF
town rs we'll as all good citizens are
fearing for the good reputation our
town has always held in the eyes of
strangers. The police are not so much
to blame because they can not be at
the probate Office, the post-office, the
pubic square, and along the streets
at the same time.
The parents of many of the chill
dren seem to be wholly Indifferent
as to the whereabouts Of the half
grown boy or girl at hours when good
people should be at home.
The municipal authorities can not
deal exactly with the question of
morals, but they can establish a sys-
tenn of regulation that will clear our
streets from the blackguard hoy and
the saucy girl.
Little children sent on errands by
their parents are frequently compel
ed to run tie gauntlet of blackguards
on the street corners, and ladies and
gentlemen, walking the streets, are
often lnsulted by the young ruftians
that infest the pavement.
There is United States law against
lettering in the lobby or about the
post -office which with the aid of the
local police, will be enforced. There
is an ordinance, against congregating
in front of business houses, or corners
as people pass to church,
And above all the Curfew Bell
should be rung at reasonable hour
at night, and all children on the
streets, unless with parents, or on er-
| rands, should be escorted home by
the officers. Let the curtew bell be
ruup.

FOR SOUND MONEY.

The position the Democrats should
take in national convention of the sill
yer question is we'll stated in a re-
cent interview with Chairman Hor
rity, of the national committee, and
We believe he will he found to repre-.
sent the sound conservative sense
and political ard financial wisdom of
the party when it assemblies in con-
yention. "The Democrats, says Mr..
Harrity, "cannot temporize with a
question of finances. They must de.
clare for sound money, and there is
not the slightest doubt that their
plank in the national platform will be
sound and explicit" They must de-
clare, as did the last national conven-
tion, that "the dollar unit of both
metals must be intrinsic and ex-
changeable value" That covers the
question. 1t is the Democratic posit-
ion. In every national election, since
1872 the Democrats have won on q
sound money platform. They have
lost when compromising with fiat
money or the silver dollar. In the
name of everything that is sane and
honest and polite, asks the New
York "World," chow can the Demo-
cratic party now do anything except
make its platform clear and explicit
for sound money? With the price OF
silver 35 cents an ounce lower than
it was in 1878 and II cents lower
than in 1892, with the coinage of
silver dollars increased $4,000, 900
during the present administration,
and with the treasury vaults still
crowded with silver bullion, represent
ing loss of millions to the govern
ment, can anything except craze
explain the demand for free silver
plank thisyear2"
With q silver plank pledging the
party to free coinage, or, what would
be more detestable, an evasive plat
form, read one way in one section
and another way in another, no mat
ter who was nominted, overwhelmn-
ing defeat would be certain and sure
and it would be defeat with little
hope of resurrection, as it would in
volve lasting division of the parity.

AT LOCAL elections in New Jersey
last week Democratic gains were
made in nearly all localities. The
New York Tribune" admits that in
Newark the Democratic success was
astonishing" and that in general
they s'have made better showing
than they have done in two years. "
That is what the Democrats are do
ing everywhere. They are getting
over the bad habit of forgetting to
vote. 1t should be kept in mind
that the phenomenal Republican sue
cesses of the last two or three years
have not come from any general in
crease of the voting strength Of that
party, but almost entirely from Dem
ocratic absenteeism from the polls.
Commenting on the general results
of recent local elections, the New
York "Evening Post" says that "the
rascally Democrats showed that they
were not only alive as party. but
were eager to vote for their party S
candidate" That is full of promise.
