The late Mr.. Jarrett, who died last
week, and was for forty years an Off
Ger Of the house of commons, acciden-
tally earned a. title to fame, and if his
tory in this instance is told correctly
his name will be handed down to pos
terity in connection with the birth of
the Primrose league. In the account
which was given some years ago of the
origin of that institution it was stated
that the eloak-room attendant of the
house of commons presented a bunch of
Wolff upon the memorable day that
Lord Salisbury and the late Sir Henry
Stafford Northcote unveiled the statue
of Lord Beaconfield at Westminster. 1t
was this triling circumstance, together
with the fact that many of the more
pldfashioned tories were wearing prim-
roses upon that occasion, which caused
the suggestion Of a primrose league TO
flash across the brain of Sir Henry
Wolff. The late Mr.. Jarrett was the
attendant in question, and it may be
that if there has been no Mr.. Jarrett
there might never have been a prfn-
rose league.

r. E. Preston, director of the United
States mint, tells what a gold dollar
is. He says the government pays one
dollar for every 1922 grains of pure gold
deposited in the mint, and that the gold
in dollar when melted and separated
from the alloy, is worth 100 cents, or
the same as the coin itself. The silver
in silver dollar is worth little over
fifty cents.

In speech at San Francisco recently
Hon. Robert P. Porter commented at
length on Japan's remarkable CONNER
cial progress. In the course of his re-
marks he said: Last year they bought
s2.500,o00 worth of cotton. AS they i'm
prove in manufacture they produce
finer yarns, and as they make better
cloth they must use our cotton. In or
der to get any portion of the trade
which England now has with Chisa,
they must use more American cotton.
In view of this, there was a japanese
syndicate formed while I was there

Mileage books for railroad travel are
generally issued under an implied con-
tract that they are subject to confisca-
ton if rendered by other than the one
to whom issued. The Circuit court of
Ohio has declared that the claimed
right of confscation does not rest with
the railroad company. Judge Seney,
delivering the courts opinion, said that
there was nothing in the contract be-
tween the purchaser of the ticket and
the railroad company whereby the lat
ter acquired title to the ticket be-
cause 1t was in the hands of a third
person. The most the conductor could
do would be to refuse to accept the
ticket from the third party and collect
the regular fare. When the book was
sold the title to it passed from the rail
raod company to the purchaser The
case will probably go to the Supreme
court.

UNsELFISH LABORS.
DR. Spalding was called for. He said
that for four years. during the administra-
tion Of ex-President Harrison, he had been
a member of the examining board Of pen
sion applicants, The names of many men
that passed that board all right were
dropped by the Cleveland administration.
He spoke OF the large number OF these
names that had been restored through the
unselhsh efforts OF Congressman Mercer
He said that he knew that more names
had been restored TO the pension lists 10y
him than any other senator or congress-
man OF Nebraska. He also spoke OF Nj
Mercers solicitude for the widows OF old
soldiers. and cited cases where he had
labored in their behalf.
The president then introduced Mr.. Mercer.
When he had advanced 10 the front q
the platform q great shout was raised and
it was two minutes before he could make
himself heard. In speaking Of old soldiers
he mentioned his father, and told Of his
experiences in the war. He said that
his father had returned from the war with
a shattered constitution. He knew that
however strong an old soldier might appear
TO be, he was not so strong after the war as
be had been when he entered it. He said
no man could have endured the tortuTes
OF those fatguing campaigns and gone
through the marches under the broling sun
and through drenching rains without hay-
ing injured his health. This he had al
ways borne in mind when making q fight
for pension.
Nothing had so gratiied him since his
return TO Omaha as the number OF old
soldiers and the widows OF olher cid sol
diers that had called upon him 10 thank
him for something he had done 10 assist
them in securing their pensions. Il be-

war should have e pension he continued

COMPANIES Will FIGHT THE TAX.
Propose TO Charge 50 for Privilege
of Planting Poles in the Street.

pIeted the ordinance which was ordered
drawn some time ago placing tax on all
telegraph. telephone, electric light and
motor poles in the city, The ordinance will
be in shape 10 present to the council Mon
day night.
Friends OF the telegraph and telephone
companies have laughed at the attempt 10
tax the poles and have stated that such a
tax could not be collected even II the ordi-
nance passed There are in the city nearly
500 poles, and should the council insist
upon a tax Of s. a pole, has been pro
posed, the revenue thus derived would be
quite large. Mr. Montgomery said yester-
day that he had looked into the matter
thoroughly and was satisfied that the tele-
phone and telegraph poles could be sub
iected to tax. He cited case decided by
the United States supreme court some time
ago in which the court held that a charge
Of IS a pole for the privilege OF using the
streets or alleys was valid The attorney
has worked on the strength Of this decision
and expects his ordinance to stick, but not
without a fight as he said he had learned
that the companies interested would contest
