TAKES OFF HIS HAT.

When Madden was defeated for the
Illinois senatership Republican papers
went off into: spasms of jubilation.
hailing it "a great Republican victory"
When "Billyii Mason, known only as
stumper who tickled his audiences with
racy stories and bald-headed jokes.
whose acceptance speech contained not
the slightest scintilla of evidence that
he had in him anything but the quail
ties that made him an available spell
binder, received q nomination, these
papers had the grace not to
proclaim it another great Republi-
can victory" although they stretched
their consciences until they cracked in
saying all they dared say in his praise.
But one candid and Disguised Repub-
Ican of that state takes Mason as only
"a lesser humiliation than Madden"
and vents his despair in a letter to the
Springfield Republican In which he
says:
cast my first vote for Fremont and Day
TON IN old New England, and have been a
republican from that day to this, but ] con-
Tess every time meet Democrat in Illinois
feel like taking off my hat to him, with
audible thanks, that as bad his party here
may be in some respects, it never proposed
such shame, disgrace and political treachery
to our great state as this which the accepted
Republican leaders have done their utmost to
fo1st upon US. God save the commonwealth
of Illinois; the Republican leaders won't;
they conspire against her; the Republican
party can't; it is helplessly bound hand and
foot.
AS this old Republican looks back ON
the earlier senators his party sent from
Illinois, on Trumbun and Washburne,
recalls Douglas and Palmer among the
Democrats, and compares them with
Mason, the buffoon Of the hustings, no
wonder he breaks out into such a
lamentation Of ehagrin and despair.
But how much worse conditioned is the
party there than in New York or

THE ToRREY BANKRUPTCY BILL.

Congress shall have power "to estab-
lish uniform laws on the subject of
bankruptcies throughout the United
States" says the constitution, and yet
no power so intimately connected with
the general welfare as is this has
been so little used. Since the repeal of
the act OF 1867, we have been
without national bankruptcy law, and
have had but the differing and conflict
Ing state laws, often inefficient and
favoring the dishonest debtor.
while handicapping the honest but en-
barrassed one. Judged by the debates
in congress on the Bailey bill and by
that bill itself, one would infer that such
laws were for the sole benefit of the
creditors; but 1t is not only the creditor
who is benefited by being as
sured of a fair division of the
assets, which are not, as under state
laws, liable to be all eaten up In adj
ministration.
The debtor, embarrassed through no
fault Of his own save defect Of judg-
ment or unavoidable accident, who is
free from fraud or deceit, is a greater
beneficiary, because it allows him to
clear away the wreckage and begin
anew, relieved from all fear Of annoy
ance from past debts. Even the con-
sumner not in trade feels the burden on
trade imposed by the lack Of a law that
would punish fraud while relieving dis
tress honorably met. Uncertainty Is
always a factor in fixing the cost of
goods, and the absence Of a national
bankrupt law, the existence Of state
laws opening opportunities for fraud
in interstate trade, the possibility of
certain total loss under them and the
certainty Of lessened dividends, all con-
tribute uncertainties that the manufac-
turer or wholesaler is compelled to con-
slider In making prices If he would es-.

WORKING FOR THE STATE.

Gov Scofield's al1usion to the possible
along without the aid of so many feed
and salaried assistants has provoked in
vestigation as to the number of super
nunerarfes CHARTERED on the treasury.
The state capitol is found to have been
sustaining large number of ambitious
but impecunious young men, who were
supplied with actual salaries and nom
inal employment so that they might
pursue their law studies in the univer-
sity. The Evening Wisconsin found
that twenty-one such had graduated
and been admitted to the bar Other
questions aside, one may we'll doubt the
moral qualification for that profession
of young men who would thus pension
themselves upon the state. One may
well expect that the f1abbiness of the
fiber Of such morality will not stand
the strain Of the temptations Of their
professional life.
Another instance Of superf1uity Of
employees was found in the state land
department, where tWenty-seVen clerks,
timber agents and other attaches were
drawing liberal salaries with little to
do for them in the way Of work This
was emphasized by the statement Of
Senator Stout, the 1umberman, whose
company owns between seven and
eight hundred thousand acres Of land
twice as much as Is owned by the state
and cared for by the twenty-seven en-
ployes-and which the senator's COM
pany finds the services of just two men
sufficient to look after. The
case Of Wisconsin is no soil
tary one. If one wishes to get
clear idea Of the difference between the
manner Of conducting the business of
state and, to get parallel in magni-
tude, that Of railway corporation,
let him saunter through the state Of
fees, note the number and occupation
or want of it-of the employees then
make similar visit to, say, the Offices
of the Northern Pacific or Great North
ern and make the same observations.
Comparing the two he will conclude
that, if the state were to get from it's
employees the same diligence and indus
try these two business corporations get
from theirs, at least half Of the former
might be dispensed with.

CAUGHT A TARTAR.

Cecil Rhodes is a man who has never
been accused of mincing either his
words or his deeds. He was unusually
honest in his conduct Of affairs in South
Africa. When he saw anything that
seemed worth having he went after it,
and, to his credit, it must be said that
he seldom came back empty-handed.
He had no idea of conceaIing his pur-
poses and was ready to stand by the
results Of his enterprises. In practical
effect the outcome Of his operations was
the building up Of an empire which was
presented to her gracious majesty with
no details given and no questions asked
as to how it was acquired. Mr.. Rhodes
finally scored failure. There was the
dash into the Transvaal, the Jameson
hasco and the attendant train of events
which Inundated England and exalted
the sturdy Boer. John Bull held up his
hands in holy horror, and with many
protestations vowed he had not be-
Heved such crimes could be committed
in his name. He wanted 1t distinctly
understood that only when such enter
prises were successful could any re-
sponsibihty for them be assumed by
the crown. 1t was not England that
had plotted against the Boer republic
It was the Chartered company and
wicked Cecil Rhodes. Her majesty had
nothing to do with the failure. Then
followed the farce Of the arrest and
trial Of Jameson and his subsequent
pardon. Rhodes watched the proceed
fngs with the attitude Of the villain Of
a melodrama, and revenged himself
with his sneer at the "unctuous recti-
tude' of England
Failure was bad enough, but the
sneer was insult added to injury, and
Rhodes was in disgrace. 1t was rea-
sonably safe to attack a man at the
extremity Of another continent, and the
honorable Cecil came in for surpris-
ing amount Of abuse, mingled with
which were dire threats as to what
would be done If the Napoleon of South
reached. Elaborate provisions for a.
parliamentary inquiry were considered
and no time was to be lost In Sitting
the whole affair and placing the re-
sponsibility for the course Of events in
South Africa just where it belonged.
But Rhodes was then in Cape Town,
and only eloquence was involved. Char
acteristic Of the man, Rhodes is now in
London waiting to see what the govern
ment proposes to do about it, and 1t is
a safe venture that the government has
no idea. No commission for an investi-
cation is ready. and Rhodes first re-
mark, that a man who has had pins
stuck in him for a year is in a mood to
strike back, sent cold chill UP and
down the official spine of the empire.
Rhodes has shown that he is not man
who Is afraid either to speak or to act.
He has not curbed his tongue since he

venor, Of Ohio, declines today to dis
cuss the rumors from Ohio, as to the
probability that Gov. Bushnell will

vacancy in the senate upon the retire

him overwhelmingly in favor Of Mr..

Senator Sherman might reconsider his
acceptance Of the state portfolio In
case Mr.. Hanna was not appointed to
succeed him, he expressed himself most
emphatically.
''Mr. Sherman" said he, was ten

COLD WEATHER CAUSED 1T.
Robert Street Bridge Is Not at ALI
Unsafe.

CITY Engineer Rundlett, seen yester-
day, Gaid there was no danger at the
present time that the Robert street
bridge would have to be closed or that
it was in anyway unsafe for travel.
The trouble, he said, was owing to the
extreme cold weather, which caused
contraction Of 1Cas portion Of the iron
work. Provision was made for the con-
traction and expansion, but in this in
stance the contraction did not take
place equallybfat the points provided
for and caused a slight opening. The
opening was not enough to occasion
any immediate danger and would close
as soon as the weather changed.

fell into disfavor, and all signs point
to the fact than now he is more ready

FINE POINT OF LAW,
In n Legal Year 364 Days or 365f-
ChtIds Decides.

In an opinion referred to State Prin-
ter Whitney yesterday, Attorney Gen.
eral Childs rules that a newspaper In
this state, to be entitled to be desig-
mated as the official paper of any coun-
ty, must have been in existence one
calendar year, and not fifty-two weeks.
The distinction is a nice one, but it Is
still perceptible, and especially Is It
perceptible to the publisher Of the VIII
lard Weekly Call, whose paper it was
that stirred up the row which called
forth the decision. The county COM
missioners of Pope county are Pops, or
at least the Peoples party members
are in control. The Weekly Call Is a
Populist paper. 1t was started Feb. IA,
1896. Its f1fty-second issue, if all goes
well, will be issued Feb. 6, or exactly
fifty-one weeks after the first publica-
ton day. In order to place the spoils
Of county printing in it's hands, the
Populist commissioners, at their first

meeting, deferred action on the con,
tract for county printing to Feb 8, as.
Stunning that the paper, then having
lived ffty-two weeks, should be legal
paper. Attorney General Childs, how
ever, rules that the calendar year must
be observed, and that the paper will
not be legal paper until Feb. IA. 1t
seems that there is nothing to prevent
the commissioners from again postpon-
ing action until the paper reaches the
required age, but as a matter Of fact,
a serious question has already arisen.
The law requires that the financial
statement of every county must be
printed within thirty days Of the close
of the year. This statement has not
been printed, and cannot be within the
time, as there seems to be no incIina-
ton to have the problem of the contest
settled before the Willard Weekly Cali

STAGE EMPLOYEES SIDE,
Their Reply to Manager l.. N. ScOtt's
Statement

The following is the official reply Of
the Theatrical Stage Employees to Man
ager L. N. Scott's statement in thu
G. l o b e Of few days ago about the
trouble at his house:
Members of the theatrical stage employees
union say In regard to Mr.. Scott's interview
in Fridays G II b that the grievance
against his house has existed for two years.
Committees from the union and the trades
assembly repeatedly asked for It's adjustment
but were fatty refused. In few instances
Mr., Scott does pay the union scale. In a
majority of cases, however, he pays far
less than the union rate. 1t may be true
that Mr.. Scott has heard no grievance from
his men, but they did complain of their
low wages to the union and asked that it in
tercede in their behalf, because they feared
that If they made complaint to Mr. Scott
he would discharge them at once. 1t is wen
known in labor circles that Mr.. Scott has
forced some of his men to withdraw from
the union and thus proved his enmity to or
ganized labor in general and to the theatre
cal stage employees in particular. We also
deny that we have ever asked for the dis
charge of any of Mr.. Scotts old employees

her to step from the car to the sta

she fell to the platform and sustained
serious injuries, resulting in nervous
prostration, and an impairment Of
vision. AS there are nearly a dozen
