Threw Her Out.

the ergeanC-at-armS OF the senate
for grossly insulting Mrs. Brier
OF River Falls. Mrs. Brier is
most estimable woman, the wife
of Prof. w. j. Brier of the normal
school at River Falls, with whom
she was being shown through the
capitol by guide last Monday.
AS they reached the steps leading
from the senate cham Der down to
the cafe their baby began to cry.
The mother paused there to sooth
the little one while her husband
strolled on with the guide.
Sergeant at Arms Bright, who
happened along, heard the baby
crying and, walking up to Mrs.
Britr, said roughly: "You ought
not to let that baby Cry here, !"
and then taking her by the arm
he pushed her to the capitol door
saying as he did so, Nov you
get out Of this building and don t
you come in again. . Mr.. Brier
did not see the incident or serious
trouble might have resulted.
When he found his wife she was
in tears and Bright had gone.
Later Bright discharged the guide
who had been conducting them.
Congressman Cooper met Mrs.
Br1er this morning and to him
she told the story, her voice
choking as she recited the tale.
Cooper became most indignant
and went at once to the house,
where he repeated the story to
Babcock, Minor, Sauerhering and
Barney, the only Wisconsin mem
bers who happened to be there.
They all expressed Indignation
and with flashing eyes went to the
senate, where they laid the case
before Spooner, who in turn be-
came indignant. He went to
Bright and demanded an explana-
ton.
Bright SAID he didn't tell Mrs.
Brier not to return to the building,
but did tell her not to bring her
baby back, adding that he didn It
take her by the arm.
''You did, Senator Spooner
said with considerable feeling,
"Not only she, but two other re-
putable persons witnessed it.
WELL" replied Bright, 81 did
only what was necessary to dis
charge my duty
Moreover you discharged the
guide, said Senator Spooner.
Il did, said Bright, because
he reported me to you.
ole did not said Senator
Spooner, "You commit great in
justice if that is the reason you
discharged him.
"Well," SAID Bright, II won t
reinstate him.
Senator Spooner then returned
to the senate chamber to find
Senator Daniel, who has had
trouble with Bright on account of
the latter's insulting lady in the
room. Daniel was not
there. When he is found, Senator
Spooner will consult with him,
and unless the Daniel matter is
settled they may bnnch issue and
have Bright discharged.
According to strict parliament
tary usage said Congressman
Cooper to The Journal correspon-
dent. Bright ought to be thrashed
within an inch of his life and then
kicked out of the senate employ"
Prof. Brier is institute conductor
for the River Falls normal school. |

The Foot Bridge TO the Depot.


A petition signed by a large
number Of the tax payers of the
city has been in circulation re-
questing the council to erect a
foot bridge leading to the new
depot on the site of the old bridge
which served the public for many
years.
This is however a matter Of con
siderable Importance as owing TIC
the change in the channel of the
river and the fact that the floods
Of late have been more severe sc
that a bridge if built must be OF q
more substantial character than
the old one and hence cost more
money. Hence the council is dis
posed to be conservative in the
matter and ascertain carefully be
tore proceeding whether in fact
the city will be willing to submit
to an extra tax of one mill on the
dollar for the sake of the advan.
tages to be gained, especially as il
seems that the railroad company
will widen out the approach to thf
depot and thus possibly make il
fully as convenient to reach the
depot by sidewalk as bridge.
But the more earnest advocates
for the bridge argue that even il
the approach is wider, still there
is the danger to drivers from the
engine and cars and that it is
unsafe for persons having teams
unused to the trains to drive
along the approach no matter
how wide it may be. That if til e
foot bridge is constructed, that
the teams may be hitched on the
east side of'the river far enough
away from the depot to avoid any
danger, and that the passengers
can walk across the bridge and
take their carriages in a safe and
convenient place.
It certainly is worth while for
our citizens to consider these
matters and act intelligently, and
if the foot bridge be great adj
vantage and the tax payers ale
willing to pay the cost, that the
matter will be fully and fairly pre-.
scented to the council.
It must always be remem bered
that good things cost something
and that the great difficulty in all
public improvements is the pro-
curing of funds to pay for them.
One thing seems certain, that
the city cannot afford to put IN
a poor and ugly bridge at that
place, as the outlook up and
down the stream is pleasant, even
if the back yards of some Of the
business houses are far from being
as neat as they should be, but
where the foot bridge is proposed,
the outlook is picturesque at
least. where the steep and rugged
banks, covered with foliage, drop
down in the smooth and mirror
like waters Of the mill pond
Then, too, the new depot will
be attractive in its character. The
architect of the building has de-
signed neat and BETTING
structure, one far more artistic
IN it's proportions than is usually
the case, and the city can well do
its part in making this important
avenue Of approach to our homes
something that will attract rather
thar repel the incomer.

T'oTHER SIDE OF 1T.

Charlottesville, Va. March 25.-(Spe-
ciaD-The team was worked hard to-day
as it is the last days full practice. Mel
lor and Collier pitched hard ball. 1t is
probable Mellor will pitch the greater
part of the game, but Collier will be
put in the box first and will stay in as
long as his pitching is effective. The
team will be given a light practice some
time tomorrow and will leave in the af-
ternoon for North Carolina. Bonnie is
confident Of victory. The game will be
received by the students here in detailed
account over a private wire from the
University of North Carolina base ball
field. The team was given a good send
off tonight.
George Stevens ex. 1876 Univer-
sity North Carolina Baseball team has
been agreed upon as umpire for the game
on Saturday, and a Virginia man will
umpire the Charlottesville game.
In case of tie after the two games
National League umpire will um-
pire the Danville game.

MIR. SHAW'S FERvENT WORDS

! To the Editor: In reply to your in
! quires Of March 18th, will not discuss
the legal aspect of the propositions sub
mitted, but say l still have some hope
in the patriotism of the judiciary, and
! that upon the hearing of these perplex-
ing questions, wewill not find it exhaust
I'D as in the days of Kirk" but
that the spirit of the constitution will
! be upheld.
| If, however, the Executive of State
can be enjoined from the discharge Of his
duties and exercising the prorogatives
of his Office, the eleventh amendment
to the constitution is a nudity, and the
idea of sovereign State is thing Of
the past.
] The tendencies of Federalism for the
past twenty-five years, as l feared, has
led to almost complete Capitalization of
| power and we have about reached the
point, where we are no longer a cOnfed-
Grafton of free and independent States,
but nation dominated by selfish and
relentless combination, whose power, I'M
der the lead of such men as Hanna will
only tighten the thumb screws Of OPP
preston until desperate people will
deluge this fair land in blood. God for
bid it.
l am too far behind the times to quite
understand what is meant by Gov
eminent by Injunction l suppose they
have something like that in the peniten-
tiary, its citizens walled in, required to
obey every behest Of the superintendent,
to work under task masters, to wear such
clothes as are prescribed, to eat as much
food as they chose to give you, to be
logged if you show the least indepen-
dence, and be shot down if you attempt
to get out into the free air. If that is
the thing, l am opposed to it. My faith
er taught me that government" was
Of the people, for the people, and by the
people, and that none other was worthy
the support of freeman and that who
ever aided in pulling down such a gov
eminent, was a trailer to himself, and
an enemy to mankind. He lost his life
in defence of such a government, and l
can favor or support no other.
Yours truly,
w. B. SHAW.

Presidents Devotion to It.
(Richmond Dispatch)
Washington, March 25.-(SpeciaD-Mr
VIM. Ryan, Collector of Internal Rev.
enue, called ON his old friend, Hon. John
r. Proctor, president of the Civil Ser
vice Commission. Mr.. Proctor told him
that the new administration would re-
gard in the utmost good faith the civil
service law. Civil Service Commission
err Rice entertained the entire cabinet
and his brother commissioners at a din
ner last night, for the purpose of dis
cussing the classified civil service rules,
regulations, etc., and Mr.. Proctor said
that each member Of the cabinet ex-
pressed himself as being in thorough
harmony with the work of the commits
sion.
Mr.. Proctor said that some of the Dem
ocrats who were holding positions under
the civil service law were afraid Re-
publican might be appointed over them,
and would make himself so disagreeable,
or would reduce their rank, as to force
them, if possible, to resign. But he said
that nothing of the sort would be al
lowed to any great extent; that the
Civil Service Commissioners would stand
between government employees and harm.
Mr.. Proctor has had two long inter-
views with President Mckinley, and will
have another consultation tonight. The
President, he declares, is one OF the
strongest civil service advocates in the
country. No political influence, he says,
can change him.
