THEIR SINGULAR DELus1oN.

The address of the ehairmans of the

a small amount of logic. Not to take
up the general argument, however,
with which the people are pretty famil-
lar by this time, there is one feature

WITH CAP AND BELLS.
German Residents of st. Paul Mark
the Feast of Fools.

Red. white and blue caps upon the
heads Of $50 gentlemen in dress suits
who were drinking beer at long pine
tables in the Endicott block last night
appeared unique, not to say foolish.
But what is fool if not foolish? The
gentlemen were all fools, and gloried
in the fact. They We're the members
and guests of the st. Paul Musikver-
Elm, and the little brass bells on their
jolly fools caps rang a tintinntbulat-
ing chorus to celebrate their third an
nual 'narrensitzunz, Of fools session.
This singular observance of Feb. 16
originated generations ago on the
banks Of the Rhine, and is among the
few survivals of picturesque medieval
oddities which are to be seen on this
continent.

sion by heralding the approach of the

THE ToRRENs PLAN IN CH1oAc

The abstract men of Chicago, beaten
In the legislature in their fight against
the bill to adopt the Torrens system
Of registration of land titles, have taken
1t into the courts and propose to de-
1eat 1t there on the ground Of its I'M
consututlonality, claiming that it con-
fers Judicial powers on the registrar
and therefore violates the constitution.
which reposes such powers in the
JUDICIARY. There are other grounds, but
tnls is the main one. But meanwhile,
the system is at work and has produced
It's fruits. The ease the rapidity and
the cheapness Of transaction under It
illustrates its benefits. On Tuesday a
certlhcate was issued. the fourth one
given out. It was a parchment sheet
certifying that the person named was
the fee owner Of certain described
piece Of real estate.
The title is settled. No abstracts +o
be examined if the owner wishes to sell
or borrow, merely the presentation of
his certificate. No adverse claims can
disturb him, a successful claimant be-
ing referred to the indemnity fund for
PREPARATION Of any damage done him,
On Wednesday the holder Of the certi-
f1cate negotiated a loan Of $4,000 on his
land. 1t took precisely two hours to
complete the business. Such a. trans
action, the Tribune says, could not have
been begun and completed under two
weeks, under the old system. There
would have been a long abstract to be
made, tracing the title by each instru-
ment from the United States to the
latest grantee, with note Of all incum-
ORANGES and releases. The court rec
ords would have to be searched to see
that no unsatisfied judgments clouded
the title. Defects, if found, would have
to be cured. And then a lawyer must
give his opinion on the validity Of the
title, with an incidental honorarium
following, in addition to the not incon-
siderable sum the abstract cost. Per-
haps fee would have had to be paid
to some title insurance company to
further guarantee the title.
Mrs. Hobbs, the holder Of this certi-
ficate, received it from the registrar at
1: 80 p. m. In less than two hours her
agents had negotiated the loan, and at
3:15 the trust deed securing the loan
was filed. A sale of land could have
been completed in the same time. This
is the system whose adoption has been
agitated in this state. It Is bound to
come some day, and the sooner the
better This instance Of it's operation
in Chicago should give it's Introduction
here an impetus. 1t Is a matter that
affects every man who owns land or
who expects to. Facility Of transfer in
creases value, just as impediments
lower it, Certainty of ownership en-
hances value, not the certainty in the
mind Of the owner, but that in the
mind of possible buyers and lenders.
Our present antiquated and absurd
system not only does not secure Ger
tainty of title, but it increases uncer-
tainty as the years pass on. 1t should
be relegated to the museums of obsolete
laws. There should be the same ease,
cheapness and celebrity in transferring
realty that there is in stocks or cattle.

THIS LOOKS HOSTILE.
England Strength ning It's Position
on the Venezuelan Border.

NEW YORK, Feb IA World dispatch
from Caracas says: The story of an English
vessel taking soundings at the mouth of
the Orinoco provokes much warlike comment.
The people of Ciudad Bolivar, the capital of
Guiana. say the vessel is there for the pur-
pose Of determining whether warships are
needed to hold the Orinoco, which is Vene-
zueia's strong strategic position. The gov
eminent has been warned that, England
is increasing her force of men and cannon
at the stations the Amacuro and Cuyini
rivers, the latest move menaces the integrity
OF the nation. The press say that now is the
time to teach English arrogance a lesson.

TACOMA, Wash, Feb. 16.-The belief is
growing that Judges Gilbert and Hanford of
this circuit will decline to enter and enforce
the advisory order of Justices Field, Harlan,
Brewer and Brown in the Northern Pacific
case Justices Fields order was received in
this district and in Helena five days ago, but
remains unentered. 1t seems certain that a
new complication has arisen or Is about to
arise involving the authority of the supreme
court judges to enforce orders issued by the

possible Justice Field may come out here to
personally enter the order. Those who know
Judge Hanford's positive character believe he

mand observance of the law, and right
ly do we apprehend and punish the
people who are ready to overstep it in
order to win their cause. Now, there
is not one rule for one man and an
other for another. The parties to this
coal combination are law-breakers in
exactly the same sense as the men who
derail engines and burn freight cars.
They are entitled to the same share
of public opprobrium, and merit an
even severer punishment They are
the gentlemanly aw-breakers who. in
defiance of state and federal statute,
perfect an arrangement in restraint of

the same justice be dealt out to them

HE is OUT FOR BIZ.
HE WILL MAKE ONE HUNDRED
yPEEcnEs IN THE CAMPAIGN

Hon. Barnett Gibbs will open his
campaign for Populism at corsicana
next Saturday.
He expects to make one hundred
speeches on the stump before the polls
close IN November and he will chal-
lenge all the big guns of Democracy
to joint debate,
one Of the pet diversions Of the
brunette statesman is Senator Roger
@. Mills. IL may be stated with assur-
ance the senior senator from Texas
must, when he comes to the state TO
open his campaign for reelection either
measure lonces with Mr.. Gibbs or show
the white feather. Another man, the
Apostle Paul Of Populisln wants to meet
is Governor Culborson. The story goes
that when the first OF the series OF ar
ticles published by MIR. Gibbs appeared
In print he did not expect to land In
the Populist camp. His Ire was raised
by Gazette telegram from Austin,
which said that Governor Culbers0n
had suggested that he should take the
Populist nomination for governor and
make the race on his pri2e-ilght views,
| and In his anger he rushed over to the
/ Popmisis almost before he knew 1t,
| Whether this story Is true or not, u
| Is certain that Governor Culbcrson VIII
| be one OF the special objects OF attack
| by MIR. Gibbs.
| The question is still asked, what Is
| Barney after? He stoutly maintains
| that he Is not candidate for anything
but 1t Is the general belief that he eN-
poets to be and will be the Populist
nominee for congress in this district,
II is not an accident that Mr.. Gibbs
will open his campaign in Navarro
country. which is looked upon as
| stronghold OF Populism.
There is strong leaning amonf
Populists IN the southern end OF TN
district towards Prof. Buck Of Hills
boro. the prophet OF the single tax.
may he that the Dallas man is going t
Corsicnna to throw Buck In the shade
or Il may he that he proposes TO max
special effort TO convert Chairman
Hardy.
It IS pretty well understood that Nh
Kearby and Mr.. Gibbs are In clos
| sympathy, and that Mr.. Gibbs VII
have the support Of the coming Popu
list candidate for governor for anything
he wants.
