Police Look After the Welfare of
Kentucky Senator Makers.

conference with Mayor Julian of Frank.
fort, Ky, and the latter ordered twenty
extra policemen ON duty in the rotunda OF
the capitol the Governor expressing his
intention of ordering out the State militia
should il be necessary TO preserve order
The one thing that seemed to be settled
by the days doings is that Kentucky will
have but one representative in the United
States Senate from March 4, 1897, when
Senator Blackburn's term expires, until
at least January, 1898, when the next
Legislature can meet and fill the vacancy
The newly installed Republican in the
House, Dunlap, did not qualify before the
joint assembly met and so was not fac
tor. The Republicans adopted the tactics
of breaking the quorum, and this brought
from Lieut.. Gov. Worthington the ruling
that seventy members constitute quo
rum necessary to elect a Senator. So
long as this ruling stands no election can
be had except by breaking over party
lines.
Members of the Legislature were nerv-
ous with suppressed excitement as the
time drew near for the joint session. All
eyes were turned on Sergeant-at-Arms
Summers, the Blackburn Democrats de-
manding of him that he allow no one on
the floor except members entitled to vote.
Senator Branston made motion that
everybody be excluded, but when it was
put the Republicans defeated it by refus-
ing TO vote.

Mr.. McVicker had been prominent
theater manager for nearly half a CEN
tury. He was born in New York in ISL
of Scotch-Irish parentage. His father
died when he was child. AS young
man he became printer. In 1910, while
in New Orleans. he decided to take to the
stage. lie went to Chicago in 1S4S and
since has made that city his home In
1851 he purchased the right to Dan Mar
blc's plays and became Il star. He went
to England and was well received there.
But Mr.. McVicker was determined Ia
become a manager. and in 1851 he built
what was christencd "rhe New Chicago
Theater" 1t was opened Nov. > of that
year. The enterprise became so thorough
ly identified with the young proprietor
that McNicker's Theatcr became its name
and McVickcr's Theater il remains Mr.
McVicker himself appeared as Cousin Joe
in ''The Rough Diamond" on the opening
night and was greeted by an enthusiastic
audience. During the war the theater
continued To divert the public mind with
the best talent the dramatic field afforded
In 1871 Mr.. McVickcr rebuilt his thea
ter. He opened in August of that year
and assumed the leading role in the com
cdy 'Extremes." The Chicago fire de-
stroyed the playhouse, but in 1872 1t was
rebuilt for the second time. In 1880 the
theatcr was rcmodcled and was again
burned To the ground Aug. PC. 1890. AIR
McNicker was visiting in the East. Upon
the receipt of the dispatch announcing his
loss he determined upon the immediate
restoration of his building for the fifth

retary read him the cited passages or the
provisions of the law, or the record of the
lower court upon which the case was ar
gued, while he ponders the matter from an
easy chair and behind cloud of cigar
smoke. This is continued until Mr.. JUS
tice Blank has absorbed clear ideas Of his
own of what ought 10 be the decision in
the case.
Every Saturday the members Of the
court meet at the Capitol for consulta ton.
They assemble in a little room on the base
ment floor, used for that purpose alore.
Up to this point the public has kept toll
erably well posted on the movements i'm
the case, but here the court parts com
pany with the public and the rest can only
be surmised. The consultation chamber
is the holy of holies where profaue foot
dare not tread, curious eye may not rest
and, more than all, where no inquisitive
ear can listen. What goes on within these
walls is secret locked in the breasts of
the members themselves and they never
tell. 1t is surmised, however, that i'm this
room and at this time the members of
the court express their individual opinion
upon the case at issue and reach CON
cluson on it, The chief justice thereupon
designates one of his associates to pre-
pare the opinion of the court to be deliy-
cred at some future day.
Mr.. Justice Blank, having now received
authorization to present the opinion of the
court upon the case, proceeds to draw it
up, and this is matter requiring care
and deliberation, with rare choice of
phrase in laying down the law. He knows
that this opinion will be read by every
lawyer in the country; will be criticised
and scrutinized with keen eye and dis
eliminating mind, and he must make it
proof against assault for his own prides
sake. Moreover, this is to be the law of
the land henceforth upon this particular
subject, and he would like to have it stand
as monument to his ability, so that in
the next century the decision of Mr.. JUS
tice Blank in the year 1896 will be cited
in all similar cases.
Some of the opinions delivered by MEM
bers of the court are at great length, going
exhaustively into the subject and in
trenching the court in citadel Of prece-
dents and references. OF course il re-
quires labor TO do this. 1t takes deiving
and study, with reasoning and logic 1t
must Ice remembered also that just as
soon as this case is disposed of there is
another one pressing hot upon its heels.

HILL ON THE CUBAN WAR.
New York Senator Makes "a Strong
Speech In the Senate.

Senators Sherman and Hill were the
conspicuous figures in the Cuban debate
In the Senate Thursday, the New York
Senator forcibly urging the mercenary
character Of the pending resolutions, while
Mr.. Sherman upheld them with another
graphic arraignmcnt of Spain aud Gen.
Weyler. Ii was the fourth day.of the de-
bate OH the conference report and yet
there was no evidence of n near approach
TO a final vote.
After an hour was consumed in clearing
away routine matters. the Cuban resolu-
tions were laid before the Senate. and
Mr.. Hill of New York was recognized.
He pointed out that this being II confer
ence report the resolutions could not be
amended. He would. therefore. vote
against the report in order that at sub
sequent time amendments might be made.
The Senator particularly objected to the
third clause of the resolutions, stating
that the United States has not interviewed
in the struggles between any European
governments and their colonies, but that
owing to the proximity of Cuba. the Unit
ed States should be prepared TO inter
vene. This he declared TO be ambiguous
and unmeaning. We had intervened in
such controversies. We had interviewed
and recognized the countries which had
been colonies Of Spain
What the resolution sought to convey
was threat to intervene. TO this extent
the resolution was unnecessary. 1t is sub
ject to doubtful construction and is "a
mischief breeder. Ii was liable to com
promise us. The phrase the United
States should be prepared to protect the
Legitimate interests of our citizens by in
tervention" sounded like threat or il
was buncombe. IF this resolution means
that we should increase our army. let us
say so frankly and frame a bill for that
purpose" said Mr.. Hill. IF it means
we should increase our navy. let us state
it frankly and fcarlessly and frame bill
TO that end Let us not indulge in idle
boasts and threats and doubtful phrases
as to our being prepared To protect legiti-
mate interests by intervention"
Mr.. Hill asked what these Legitimate"
interests referred to were. Were there
any "ilegitimate interests:" This was
not Il proposition to intervene in the cause
of humanity or To aid in the cause of free
dom or To stop bloodshed. but to pro
tect our legitimate interests" Mr.. Hill
uttered the words with great scorn.

SPAIN AND UNCLE SAM.
We Have a Material Interest in the
Prosperity of Cuba.


Alphonso MIL King of Spain, is in the
tenth year of his age. The country is
governed by his mother, the queen regent,
Maria Christina The Legislative power
is in Senate and the cortes. About one
half the Senate is elected. The cortes
consists of 431 deputies, chosen by citi-
zens of ~ years of age who pay taxes.
The population of the country is about 49,
0O0,0OO.
Ministers have been defeated and cen
surcd several times during the past year.
but have not resigned. Cuba has been
the chief cause of political and financial
excitement during the year. Although
represented in the national Legislature
by ten Senators and thirty deputies, it is
practically without voice at Madrid. The
present insurrection. now more than n
year in progress, is supported by two
classes Of the people--radicals who want
separa ton and independence, and auton-
omists. or home rulers. who would be
satisfied with the same relation to the
crown that Canada has to that of Great
Britain. -Four years ago, on ministerial
assurance Of a home rule measure, the
radical Cuban party became quiescent.
Broken faith at Madrid revived it, and the
ed from those of the home rulers made
desperate lay disappointment and decep-
| ton.
After sturdy fighting, in which the in
surgents proved themselves fully a match
| for the ablest generals and the flower of
the army of Spain. they proclaimed the
Cuban Republic in August last, to be COM
posed of five States In September the
I,..l
| through Marshal Campos. begging self
| government ON conservative lines, and
assuring the queen that this concession
! would dissolve the rebellion. The only
answer was the recall of Campos and
| substitution Of him with Weyler, whose
policy is understood to be thoroughly
Cromwellian. If he cannot subdue he
will extirpate. If Cuba will not submit
to be ruled by Spain, it will be destroyed.
Weylcr. if necessary, will make a desert
of the island and call it Peace.
The position of the Government Of the
United States is one Of extreme delicacy.
The money loss to American trade alone
in consequence of the rebellion is a grave
injury. In 1894 exports Of merchandise
from the United States to Cuba reached
value of SIT. .1S6,S35. Last year the
ports from Cuba in 1894 reached the value
of $76,4i3. 131; last year the total fell to
$51 ,652. l2j.
The United States, therefore, have a
direct and material interest in the destiny
and prosperity of this island. Far above
this interest is the interest of humanity.
it is intolerabe to the public sentiment
of the United States that slaughter and
pillage, due to political oppression, shall
go on indefinitely at our very doors. The
struggle Cuba is making for civil and po-
ltical liberty Is identical with the struggle
the founders of the republic of the United
States made against the selfshness and
oppression of the crown of Great Britain.
Thanks TO the friendly aid of France, that
struggle was brought the more speedily
to an end. The struggle in Cuba ought
to be brought to an end by the friendly
aid Of the United States.-Chicago Times

NEW YORk'S LIQUOR LAW.
Puts the Entire Liquor Traffic Under
State Control.

Behind locked doors the New York As
sembly voted Oh the Raines excise bill
Thursday, and before adjournment it
passed by vote of 81 yeas to 80 nays
The Raines liquor bill is measure to put
the entire liquor traffic and interests un-
der State control. Ii abolishes all local
excise boards and creates State com
missioner ut salary of $1,000. a deputy
at $1,000, three inspectors at $1,000, 3d.
600 and $1,000, and sixty inspectors-at-
large at 81 200 each and expenses. The
commissioner bureau is located at Al
bany. The bill raises the license rates in
New York city to $500, in Brooklyn TO
$500. and i'm smaller cities to $500. The
present license rate in New York for sa-
looms is $3.50, and the granting of licenses
is at the option of the municipal excise
commissioners.
Under the Raines bill all night licenses
and the sale of liquor on Sundays are pro-
hibited except in hotels with meals. This
prohibition extends to clubs. 1t fixes Il
fine for Il violation of the law at not less
than twice the amount of the license. 1t
allows local option in towns but not in
cities. 1t compels the posting of liquor
licenses in windows of saloons. and also
requires saloons to leave open the shades
during the time they must close No sa-
loon can do business within 200 feet of a
church or school.
The bill gives one-third of the net reve-
nue. collected to the State and two thirds
to the county. Under the present law
the entire tax goes to the county or State
When first presented to the Legislature
the bill equally divided the tax between
the COMMITTEES and tho State II ia nrasum-
ed that the immediate effect of the meas
ure will be the wholesale reduction of the
number of saloons in the State, and it's
adherents claim a great increase in State
revenue.

week, until the adjournment of the court
in the summer.
This does not end the labors of Mr.. JUS
tice Blank, however, but only closes one
branch of them. He must now go on his
circuit and continue his judicial duties.
The States of the Union are grouped into
nine judicial districts. each one constitut-
ing a United States Circuit Court of APP
peals and presided over by a justice of
the United States Supreme Court. The
circuit courts of appeals are often in ses-
sion simultaneously with the United
States Supreme Court, but there may be
certain cases reserved for hearing before
the Supreme Court justice. If the parties
at issue are not satisfied with the judg-
ment of that one member of the Supreme
Court, the case may be appealed to the
full Supreme Court and heard later. Mem
bers of the Supreme Court frequently
spend the vacation months on circuit, and
get back to Washington only In time to
take up sNeir larger duties here.
