taken for granted, however, that those
self-respecting employees who voted for
Mckinley, did not so because of the
Age, but despite thereof. They were
Republicans from principle, and de-
clined to leave their party to escape the
company Of a journalistic pole-cat. What
the Age editor really needs as cure for
his colossal impudence In presuming to
speak for the American railway en-
ployes, is a brakeman's box-toed boot so
vigorously applied that he would be
compelled to take his meals from the

Struggles of a Pope.

By some accident not easily to be ex-
planned, Pope Adrian w., the only pre-
late of English birth who ever occupied
the chair of Peter, has hitherto received
but scant honor at the hands of English
biograpners. The omission has been
somewhat rectified by the publication of
Nicholas Breakspear Adrian W., Eng
llshman and Pope" by A. H. Farleton.
1t is theme full of romantic interest,
that rise of the poor English lad from
the depths of poverty to position of
power and authority greater by far than
that of any mere temporal sovereign OF
his time. Nicholas is supposed to have
been born at Abbott's Langley, Herts,
about the year HOO. His father, a poor
peasant at St. Albans, besought the Alb
bot to take the youth into the cloister
as clerk and scholar; but his lack of edu-
cation raised practical bar to the pro-
posal, and the tradition is that the
young man fed to the Continent and ira
versed France, actually begging his sub
sistence on the road. At Arke he OBJ
tanned some humble employment, and he
was next taken in a menial capacity into
the house of the Canons Regular Of st.
Rufus, near Valence. Here by his pa
tient studies he rose to be Prior and at
terwards Abbot; but his strict discipline
involved differences with the Canons,
and the dispute was referred to Pope
Eugenius III. This incident proved to
be the great steppingstone to preferment,
for the Pope, struck with the Abbot's
ability and power, made him Cardinal
in 1145, and soon afterward dispatched
him on an important embassy to Scan
dinavia. Eight years later, on the death
of the Pope, Nicholas was elected his
successor, and was enthroned under the
designation Of Adrian ~.

Failure to ho.d session of the
legislature and to pass the custom
ary appropriation bill would not
after all, be an irremeiiable
calamity. The state Of Oregon
once met and overcame the same
emergency. 1t was in 1883, when
a number of members of the house
resigned, breaking quorum, and
the legislature was Obliged to
adjourn without passing the ap
preparation bill. The state govern
ment went on just the same, col
lecting the customary taxes, and
indirectly meeting its obligations.
Whenever the fund Of any state
institution is exhausted, it is the
practice of the secretary of state to
audit claims on thai fund, and is

who is generally aule to negotiate
them at a banking institution.

provide for deficiencies so created,

LONDON BY NIGHT.


Tho Streets OF the Worll'e EIctropoll
Alive with Vicious People.
III the west end Of London the eondi
tion of things at night would disgrace
any enlightened community. It is al.
most impossible, says the Chicago News,
to pass through some Of the most fesh-
ionable streets without being molested
by hordes OF these wretched children of
the night, who almost hound down the
male passers by in their desperate eff
forts The neighborhoods of the greet
hotels frequented by American tourists
nre especially infested by scores of hui
man wolves, who, in their desperation,
are ready for anything from persist
ent begging opportunities to garoting
or robbing with violence--if the oppor.
tunity only presents itself. A couple
OF weeks ago an American gentlemen
who had just left large hotel il
central London, was suddenly sur
rounded by gang of abandoned mer
and women, dragged into a eourtway
and robbed of watch, iewelry and
money in few seconds, and then
kicked into insensibility.
Complaints have been made by Amer
lean ladies of the annoyance to which
they are subjected here, even when
under the protection of husbands,
brothers or friends, from the importuni-
ties of unfortunate" women. The
thing has been an open scandal for
years, and the authorities have always
seemed powerless TO check it.
The spectacle which The fashionable
Piccadilly presents at night has for a
long time past been disgrace to this
metropolis, Although it is the main
thoroughfare between the leading
theaters and some OF the most aristo-
cratic districts, it is blocked every
night by rows of women, declSed out in
gorgeous apparel and wearing flashing
jewels, lying in wait for clubmen. A
hideous case of depravity was in the
papers day or two ago. Two young
women were arrested for some trifling
otfense while driving with two men ina
cab. The police discovered that the cab
man was the father Of the two girls and
that the servant at the house where
they lived in shame was actually their
mother.
Many are the perils which beset the
unwary American visitor who strolls
about the streets OF London. Not the
least of these are the professional
"blackmailers, an infamous gang who
are the pest of the modern Babylon"
These vultures are OF both sexes and
woe betide the luckless individual who
gets into their clutches He will be
confronted with the alternatives of
trumped up charges entailing exposure
disgrace and social ruin or else must
pay hush.money.
Let the American beware of the
young, bright-eyed sirens who stroll
demurely about the parks, the leading
thoroughfares, or the quiet and exclu-
sive nooks Of the theaters here, These
are some of the bats and decoys of the
professional blackmailers and have
been trained to endeavor, by all sorts of
guiles and arts, to lead strangers into
snares which will give the wretches
who employ them opportunities Of
blaekmailing.

Tennessee Literary Society Election.
BY AN oRsERvANT VOTER.

BY AN oBsERvANT VOTER.
Another election and the wheels Of
machine politics have been smashed,
disorganized, stopped, and overwhelm'
ingly defeated, while the honest
nominees of the plain people have tri-
umphed, and we will be governed in
the society hereafter by the more sue
cessful associates Of VIM. J.. Bryan
from Nebraska,
By their actions Saturday night, the
literary voters of Tennessee laid care
fully and sorrowfully to rest the old
BYLAWS that were adopted by the So
ciety, and used by former presidents,
and will be governed strictly according
to the BLACKLAws.
The election was short but pointed,
and was marked by applause at differ
ent intervals, giving evidence of the
approval by the people of the society's
work.
For president, I. P. Mcknight
named Jas. Blacklaw, and Geo. Davis
warmly seconded the nomination, and
he was almost unanimously chosen.
For vice president, Thos. Mcknight
and Miss Annie Blacklaw were named.
The lady received handsome majority
over her young adversary, and by his
motion her election was made unani-
nous.
At the close of the election Pres. C.
D, Mcknight announced the entire
ticket elected as follows; Pres, Jas,
Blacklaw; vice pres, Miss Annie
Blacklaw; Sec, Bert Blacklaw; SER
geant-at-arms, Wm ]. Blacklaw;
critic, Miss Blanche Simonds.
Each one elected received an entire
majority over all candidates, and there
were frGm 4 to candidates for each
office except for vice president, Miss
Blanche Simonds, the only survivor of
the wreck Of that once grand, old,
proud "Wheat Standard party, went
in with whoop, receiving four ma
jority over six other candidates, and
we therefore congratulate her upon
her election, Miss Josie Blacklaw being
her mainslay opposition, There were
25 votes cast.
We look fora period of great pros
perity to come from the Blacklaw
administration, as theil efforts hereto-
fore have always been crowned with
success. They are lately from Lincoln,

the constitution to the best of their
ability, at exactly ll:30 O'Clock p. m.
