FROM THE GALLERY.

Pleasant Words la Mention of Senator
MsniIe's First spr-ch In the Senate.
From the Augusta, Ca, Chronicle.
April 11.-Viewed from the gallery Sem
ator Lee Mantle of Montana looks almost
boyish. largely because of his full, round.
youthful face. innocent of beard. He has
been a modest listener to debates and
his voice hitherto has been raised only
in perfunctory business of the morning
hour or recording his vote at other times.
When presenting a bill his tones were al
most inaudible, and he seemed the en-
bodment of bashfulness. i more than
once wondered how he mustered up cour-
age to get to the senate from the wild
and woolly West" or the mining camps
OF the r. -kies," to quote the CONNER
cial metropolitan papers of the civilized
and pious East. so called. But Senator
Mantle rose in his place to speak, and
before he had proceeded a quarter of an
hour IL was maifest that he was a schol-
arly man, a daring politician and a gen.
uine orator. He did not resort to any i'm
pulse or fiery elocution. but the strong,
clear argument and illustration flowed on
with muscical effect and emphasis. Like
all well-informed free coinage men. he
dwelt pronouncedly upon the threatened
Asiatic industrial invasion. which is fore
ing itself upon the attention of the world,
and can no longer be pooh-poohed-

MR.. HANNA'S REMARK.

Mark Hanna is getting wide circula-
ton for his recent remark that PLAT
and Quay are the merest political ba-
bies." The Clevelander is evidently In
fiated already with the results which
are expected to come from recent pur-
chases he has made. He is credited
with the ownership of large lot of
delegates from southern states-the
question is whether these people will
stay bought.
1t will he admitted that Mr.. Hanna
is making a very lively campaign. He
appears to be a clever man and wide
awake manager. He is prominently In
national politics this year for the first
time, and he Is cutting a large figure.
But Mr.. Hanna must not be too boast
fuI-he is a mighty good man If he is
a match for Mr.. Plat or Mr.. Quay in
political manipulation. They have been
at the business a good many years, and
they have scored some famous vic
tories; they may teach Mr.. Hanna a
trick or two before he is many weeks
older

1T DIDN'T WORK.

Attempts to initiate the wisdom and
judicial sagacity of Solomon are not
always successful. In Mount Vernon.
a suburb of New York city, the other
day a justice of the peace tried 1t and
fell down. Two citizens. one man
and the other a woman, both apparent
ly honest and sincere, claimed the
same dog and went to law about II.
Bach was equally positive as to the
ownership of the dog. and after con-
Tossing his inability to decide between
them on the testimony. the judge order
ed the dog to be brought into court. He
did not offer to cut the dog in two. as
Solomon did in the case of the disputed
baby. but he requested the woman to
the man in another, Each was TO call
the dog and the one to whom he went.

legal owner.
This was satisfactory 10 all except
the dog. As soon as he was turned
loose. deaf to the entreaties OF both
claimants. and in utter contempt of
court. he dashed for the door and ran
down town. The court announced that
II would reserve it's decision. and with
the lawyers went out to hunt for the
dog. One lawyer found the animal
and was appointed its custodian. He
acted in tat capacity just two hours
when he resigned. saying the dog had
eaten his hat. torn his coat. tripped
him up and destroyed a dozen law
books. Meanwhile. the matter. IL not
the dog. is being held in allegiance.

POINTERS ON FLOWERS.

Loosen the leaves and other winter
covering from about the hardy bulbs.
The beds for the summer plants may
now be thoroughly spaded and fortified.
although the plants must not be set out
for some time to come-no matter now
tempting and balmy are the days OF
April
Don't be discouraged IL the garden is
small: fertilize heavily now, and plant
closely a little later. and with careful
planning a surprising quantity of flowers
may be raised in even the tiniest YARD.
The crocuses are now in full bloom, and
many of the outdoor hyacinths budded.
But don't neglect them because they
seem so perfectly hardy. Keep evergreen
boughs and straw convenient for a light
covering on cold nights.
Now is the time for planting and trans
planting hardy shrubbery. Pack the earth
firmly about the roots and allow each
bush plenty of room to grow. See that
all new varieties are carefully labeled for
future reference.

NOT HAND IN HAND.

on his return from the Pacific coast.
Chauncey NJ. Depew said to a New
York reporter that he did not find very
much silver sentiment on the coast burt
that he discovered a protection
craze"
Our memory is that MIR. Depew was
the guest ait a banquet in San Fran
cisco where he heard some very plain
talk about silver. 1t was not the style
of talk he had anticipated it must
have left its impression on Mr.. Depew.
In his interview Mr.. Depew continued:
II said in San Francisco that the silver
states ought not to deceive themselves.
and that any party putting up a free
silver candidate would be defeated.
This sentiment was applauded. and
learned that more than half the peo-
pie of California are for sound money"
Our belief Is that Mr.. Depew did not
learn the truth respecting the number
OF people in California who are for free
coinage. But his remark leaves the
public to inquire again as TO the
whereabouts OF the Inter Mountains
proposition that protection and free
coinage go hand in hand MIR. Depew
heard a good deal of protection talk
which came largely from McKin-
ley republicans; he admits that How
did II happen that he heard relatively
so little about silver?

BACILLI AND THE Il RAY

truth. We hope they are. only the
results of their experiments in this
direction do not correspond at all with
those obtained by other scientists. The
London Lancet recently published some
interesting papers on the subject by
DR.. Lyon. an English physician Of

tunity to be polite and possibly gener-
Gus. Mckinley expected to secure a
pledged delegation in South Carolina,
but the scheme didn't work-a resoiu-

resolutions Is that either Mckinley.
Allison, Morton, Reed or Quay would
be acceptable. Thus an opportunity is
left open for Mr. Hanna and Governor
Morton's treasurer to conduct a joint
debate in the hearing of the members
of the delegation from South Carolina.

An amount of convincing evidence is
coming out In disproof of sections in
the famous Holmes confession. The
murderer claims twenty-seven victims;
he asserts that a woman named Dur
kee was one of them. The difficulty
with this claim is that Miss Durkee is
alive and well and living in Omaha.
She says that she knew the Holmes
family. that she was an occasional
guest of Mrs. Holmes in the city of
Chicago. that at one time, as a matter
of accommodation for Holmes, who
wanted to dodge his creditors, she held
in her name the title to some of his
property, but she is emphatic in the as
sertion that Holmes did not kill her.
nor does she suspect that he ever in
tended to add her to his list.

Those who are inquiring about the
site for the new opera house need to
be reminded that nothing has been
done with reference to the location, for
the reason that the stockholders have
not yet had a meeting, and therefore
no selection of the lot has been pos
sible. Tomorrow night, the first meet
ing of those who have subscribed to-
ward the opera house fund will be
held; the Standard urges a good at
tendance.
AS far as we know, there has not
been any general expression of opin-
ion as to the opera house site. 1t Is
understood that either one of several
good lots will be available-there are
no special interests to serve or localities
to favor. The aim of the representa-

will be to consult the convenience of
