caesar and his gall, includes Michigan,

0uce Mr.. Mckinley to extend to Gen
eral' Russell B. Alger a seat in his
caelnet. Two lions more terrible than
the Johnnies were to the doughty gen
eral lie in the way. The little Incl
dent Of the national convention of 1880
when Alger went in and bought John
0herman,s Southern delegates away
from him, and shriveled his ambition
to be the presidential nominee into
clnder, has made the former gentleman
persona non grata to the Ohio states
man ever since. The latter made that
quite clear when, prior to the conven-
ton OF 1888, which, in the steadily de-
scending scale down which those bodies
have been moving, Alger thought had
ABOUT got down to his level of presi-
dental timber, Sherman deliberately
punctured his little boom in a senate
speech in which he quoted the terrific
flashing the supreme court gave AIoar
Tor some crooked work Of his Diamond
Match company. Despite Julius
caesars assurance that amicable reIa
lions now exist, we find in John Sher-
mans long memory and unforgiving
nature one sufficient reason to predict
that Alger will never write secretary

Were that sufficing reason wanting
another would do. Mr.. Hanna will nroh-
ABLY nave something to suggest. He
will remind William when thew are o1,t
inspecting cabinet timber, of the IA
nous tour of The Generals during the
campaign; tell him how Alger suggest
ed it and he approved it; how he as
sumed that Alger, being wealthy and
patriotic, was making his contribution
to the cause" by this starring bout
among the old soldiers, and how after
the campaign was over Alger handed
in a bill for 1000 for the expenses of
the trip and insisted on payment and
got it. And Hanna will put it to VIII
liam whether it would be just square
to put such brashy timber into his cabi-
net Such shaky piece of Michigan
hemloek wouldn't dovetail well with
Ohio chestnut. And as William USUALLY
hnds that what Hanna thinks he thinks
too, we are willing to give long odds
that Alger will have to hunt something
else hereafter than presidencies, secre-
taryships and old soldiers.

SEA COAST DEFENSE.
Resolutions Adopted by the COnven-
ton at Tampa.

ton at Tampa.
TAMPA, Fla, Jan. 22.-The South
Atlantic and Gulf States Harbor and
Coast Defense and Improvement con-
vention finished its work this after
noon. A permanent national coast de-
Tense association was organized, with
the following officers: President, Gen.
Horace Porter, New York; secretary
Col James A. Frye, Massachusetts.
Among the members Of the national
committee are: E. c.. Babb. Minnesota
and s. e. Stebbins, North Dakota :;
VIM. P. Thomas, Pennsylvania; J. A.
Wells, Vermont The following reso,.
buttons were adopted:
Resolved. That assistance should be rem
dered to the several seacoast states in the
development Of a naval militia, or national
guards of a reserve of coast artillery, by
suitable legislative enactments on the part
of the congress of the United States.
Resolved, That the states upon our seaboard
and those lying upon the Great Lakes of the
North are urged and encouraged to foster
this arm of our volunteer defense.
Resolved, That. to provide for coast defense
1t is imperative that the strength Of the navy
Of the United States shall be steadily in
creased by the yearly addition of fighting
ships and torpedo boats until the force shall
be adequate to meet the emergencies of 8
state of war; and
Resolved That this convention appreciates
the necessity Of immediate protection to the
seaboard Of our country and the Importance
of defending all points liable to invasion by
hostile forces; therefore, 1t most earnestly
urges upon our representatives in congress
the necessity for immediate appropriations
sufficient to carry out the plans formulated
by the war department, and further urges
that these appropriations be made available
at once. to the end that the plans of the de-
partment may be completed without delay.

the case within the legal limits and ex-
pressed our opinion as to the reason
able, just and proper construction of
the effect of the provision that casts
upon the president pro tempore the du-
ties Of lieutenant governor when a va
cancy happens in that office. The GUST
err of Day will give to it a construction
that would, in this, and probably in
future legislatures, rendernugatory that
other provision that fixes the length of
a senator's term. But such a construc-
ton would have another serious effect
which it is we'll for the senators to
have in mind when forming their judg-
ment. Section Is of article of the con-
stitution provides that mo law shall
be passed unless voted for by a major
ity of all the members elected to each
branch Of the legislature" The num-
Der OF senators is fifty-four, requiring
twenty-eight for a majority. If a sena-
tor becomes lieutenant governor and
ceases to be senator, as contended,
then the senate will consist of fifty
three members. while, under the section
quoted, it will still require the votes Of
twenty-eight senators to legally enact
a bill
This may not only embarrass the pas
sage or meritorious measures in the
future, but it may imperil measures al
ready on the statutes. If, while per
forming the duties Of lieutenant gov
ernor, Senator Day voted for any
without his and only receiving the
constitutional majority by his vote.
then, if the construction be given the
constitution that he ceased to be a SEN
and is invalid. The senate, being the
exclusive judge Of the qualifications
and election of it's members, will. in
ousting Day, adjudicate the invalidity
of all such measures. Another point
that seems worthy Of consideration is
that at the time the constitution was
framed, with its provision for the sue
cession Of the president pro tempore of
governor, senators were elected for
term of but two years. Long subse-
quently the term was extended by
amendment Of the constitution to four
years. The trainers did not have-sin
contemplation the happening of such a
case as this, where a senator, elected
for four years, with a lieutenant gov
ernor elected for two years. fills the va
cancy caused by the promotion Of the
latter in the first year of his senatorial
term. Neither, Of course, did those who
framed the amendment, extending the
senatorial term, have the present situa-
ton in mind as a contingency to be
provided against, but the effect is TO
materially shorten the senator's term
or office, in any future case like this.
who becomes the recipient of the usual
ly empty honor Of an election as presI-
dent pro tempore, if the contention of
Mr.. Dunn is sound.

Towne Active for Duluth.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Representative
Towne is endeavoring to secure provision on
the sundry civil bill making an appropriation
to carry the improvement of the Duluth
Superior harbor under the continuous contract
system. The secretary of war has construed
the word may in the clause empowering
him to enter into large continuous contracts
as merely directory and not mandatory. and
has postponed making large contracts on &C
count OF the depleted condition of the treas
ury. Towne has succeeded in having adver-
tisements for Duluth made, however, and bids
will be opened Feb. 10. Towne fears this may
be too late to have an appropriation for the
work made in the sundry bill, and today in
duced the members of the river and harbor
committee to meet the appropriations COM
mittee in order to provide some plan by which
items for continuous contracts may be in
cluded in the sundry civil BILL where the let
ting of contracts is early enough to allow this
to be done.

PLEASED WITH ECKELS,
RumOr That Mckinley Would Like
to Retain Him.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-It is as
serted that President-elect Mckinley
today has decided that Comptroller
Eckels may retain his position as long
as he desires to. Further it is general
ly understood that none of the sound
money Democrats now holding office
In Washington will be removed until
the eXpira ton of their terms, and it is
the intention of President-elect McKin-
ley to make a special example of Mr.
Ecke1s, because Of his activity and
influence in organizing the sound
money movement during the recent
campaign. 1t it said, however, that
Eckels prefers not to remain in Of
flee. He has received several offers
to take charge of business interests
that are in the line Of his experience,
and as soon as the new president is
we'll established he will probably ten

TWO TARIFF FACTIONS.
The Reed Men, In Committee, Op-
posing the Mckinley Idea.

The Reed Men, I'm Committee, Op-
posing the Mckinley Idea.
WASHINGTON. Jan. ga spirit Of
rivalry has developed between two
FACTIONS OF the committee on ways and
means which Is producing considerable
friction in the preparation of the new
tariff bill. The trouble is between those
members who want to produce a second
Mckinley bill and those who want to
turn out a Dingley bill.
These two parties represent consider
able difference in schedules. One means
uniform schedule of high rates and
the other means lower rates upon some
articles and higher rates upon others
than were provided upon identical ar
ticles in the old Mckinley bill
Gen. Grosvenor of Ohio, and the Nc
Kinley crowd in the house are behind
one faction, and Speaker Reed and the
Observation-Disclosures are backing the
other
Speaker Reed is having a great deal
more TO do with the preparation OF
this tariff bill than the general public
has any idea of. The foundation OF the
present committee on ways and means
was laid upon Speaker Reeds theory
that the main trouble with the finan-
c1al and industrial conditions Of the
country lies with the question Of
revenue. He has maintained that sl1f-
ncfent revenue would correct every
evn, and therefore in the preparation
or tariff bill his theory would put
the question Of revenue even ahead of
the principle of protection. His idea
Is to gauge the amount of duty upon
an article by the amount of revenue 1t
will produce without, at the same time
opening the door wide to foreign i'm
portations.
This theory would be applied more
particularly to some schedules than to
others and would conflict with the Me-
kinley plan that every schedule should
be considered first on the principle OF
protection
Mckinley partisans on the committee
are also anxious to have the new tariff
distinctly Mckinley tariff, because OF
the political effect and enhancement Of
his glory
The outcome Of this spirit of rivalry
is an inability to agree quickly upon
disputed schedules, and a CONSEQUENT
delay in the completion of the bill.

scene was witnessed. About q, 900 men
and women were busily at work. The
workers were healthy. vigorous,

tasks allotted to them, and now and
then CHANGING at their children, who
were playing about in the vicinity, APP

At the registering department, the
visiting officials had another interest
ing experience. Four clerks, seated On
high bamboo platform, were giving
the new arrivals in search Of relief
work the slips of paper qualifying them
for employment on the works. On
these slips were inscribed the names,
caste, description and amount of wages
to be paid to the workers, who were
in turn told off to the different sections
of the canal. The GREATEST order and
discipline prevailed on all sides and
there was cheerfulness and regularity
about the whole proceedings which re-
dected credit upon all concerned. FL
nally the mission officials visited the
workers. There again was evidence Of
good work on the part of the govern
ment officials. The same extreme
cleanliness prevailed in and about the
huts, and every medical care possible
was bestowed upon those needing at
tention.

BAND In Psols, Kan.

tioning the mayor and council to pass
an ordinance prohibiting the village
brass band from playing certain piece.
They say two deaths may be traced to
the playing of the high notes in this
tune. A short time ago man assembled
in balloon at Paola, and when he was
800 feet in the air the band struck the
high notes. The man dropped to the
earth dead.
On Christmas eve an entertainment
was given in one of the churches. One
Of the features was the entrance OF
Santa Claus through the skylight by
means of rope. The band was furnish
ing the music and was playing this par
ticular air. When it reached the high
notes, Santa Claus lost control of him
self, fell 25 feet and received injuries
from which he will die. The band will
be prohibited from playing the tune
within the town limits.

Whatever be DIR. Haviland's motive In

with the enthusiasm Of new convert,
says:
"Nine-tenths of all the cases of sickness
that regular practicing physician Is called

whatever. But the physician takes the re-
sponsibility of the case and gets the credit
of curing the patient, and SO he builds up
his reputation, knowing that he does not
deserve half the praise that his patients
give him.
"This very fact makes the physician
skeptical regarding what he hears about
Christian science healing, but no Is draw
