"a FuLL PARTY sOHEME."

Representative Lewis, OF Washing
ton. introduced into the House at the
beginning Of the session a resolution
calling upon the president to explain
under what constitutional authority he
negotiated a treaty that binds the
United States to pay 100000 to Ha-
waiian bondholders in the event that
the Sandwich Islands become a part
OF this country on the terms ar
ranged between the Dole cabal at Hon
olulu and the coterie OF American
politicians representing the New Eng
land bondhOlders.
The resolution was couched In Ian
guage that did not reflect upon the IN
tegrity or the motives OF anyone con-
nected with the Hawaiian Job. II
made of the president a very reason
able request There are very serious
doubts Of the authority OF the presl'
dent to bind this country to such a H.
nancial obligation as constitutes
part-and the main part-of the Ha'
waiian treaty now pending in the Sen

morally bound to show that the law II
on his side. He should point out th'

him with the power to spend the ma

should not wait for Congress to asl
him to do a plain moral duty.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
OUR ELECTORAL SYSTEM.

In spite OF a constitutional provision
which was designed to prevent direct
expression OF their will at the polls,
the people have already-so far as It
was possible to do sO-repudiated the
restrictions, imposedOupon them, and
have asserted their right to dictate the
course of their own agents. But their
will is liable to defeat by accidents and
mistakes which they have no power to
prevent, and for which there is no ade-
quate remedy; therefore, in order to
protect themselves and insure peace
able and orderly execution OF the popu-
lar Judgment, they have a right to de-
mand that all useless forms and agen-
cies shall be dispensed with.
A constitutional amendment, prOvid-
ing simply that the president and the
vice-president shall be chosen by the
people OF the several states, voting by
ballot, on a day fixed by Congress
which shall be the same throughout
the United States; that the electors in
each state shall have the qualifications
required for electors OF the most nu-
merous branch OF the State Legisla-
tire; that each state shall be entitled
to a number OF vOtes-to be called
presidential, or electoral votes-equal
TO the number OF its senators and rep
resentatives in Congress; and that,
in ascertaining the result Of the cleo
ton, each person voted for shall be
entitled to have counted in his favor
number OF the presidential, or cleo
toral, votes OF each state, correspond
ing to the proportion Of the popular
vote received by him in such state;
this would not only secure uniformity
and equality, but would greatly sim
plify the proceedings, and avoid near
w all the dangers incident to the ex.
listing system. Forum.

STOMACH TO BIZ AHALYZED
THE HOTEL JENNINGS SUICIDE is
STILL SIROUDED IN MYSTERY.


Officially the cause of the death of
Robert Braddon Wallace. the Msdico-
Chirurgical student, who was found
dead at the Hotel Jennings, Friday
evening, is still a mystery.
The opinion of DR.. Seneca Egbert,
dean of the college, who he'd the post
mortem, is at present that Wallace
died from the effect of strychnine poi
soning. Although he has not yet ex-
amined the stomach, he reached this
conclusion at the time of the post-mor-
tenn, when it was discovered that the
body showed evidences of strychnine
poisoning. The muscles were taut, the
hands clenched and the internal or
gans congested.
The wound over the left eye on the
left cheek were not more tfiair slight
skin wounds. Neither blow was suffi-
cient to cause death, and I'M neither
case was a bone ON the skull fractured
The wound over the eye was a three>
cornered one, as If the dead man had
fallen against the corner of the bureau
in the room.
In the small box discovered in the
room were half dozen calomel pills.
Calomel, however, is a harmless laNa-
ii ve The stomach will be analyzed.

THE JAIL DELIVERY.

The Jail delivery on Saturday even
ing set at large a most dangerous foe
to society in the person OF a man who
was doing life term for the commits
sion Of a most cold-blooded and diaboli-
cal murder for which he should have
been hung. No expense should be
spared to apprehend and return him TO
the county prison, for he Is a menace
TO human life and to permit him to es-
cape will but incite other prisoners to
make desperate endeavors to regain
their lost liberties.
Warden Gould is to be congratulated
that he escaped with his life, for the
desperate intentions OF the two men
were mademanifest by the shotfred by
the accomphce OF Dougherty in the
plan to escape. But for the interfer-
ence OF some Of the prisoners no doubt
he would have added murder to his
list OF crimes, for his assault upon the
warden bore every evidence that he in
tended to sacrifice human life rather
than be frustrated in his design TO es-
cape.
It is a serious question whether 1t
is wise to give any unusual liberties to
men who are serving long terms. They,
above all others, have an incentive for
wishing TO escape, and they should be
accorded the least opportunity for do
ing so, especially when the crimes for
the commission Of which they were
convicted and sentenced were OF such
character as to stamp them as men
who would do desperate deeds with the
incentive much weaker than that
which is prompted by the inherent de-
sire to be free from all penal restric-
tions.
Those criminals who are In for the
shortest terms are least likely to take
desperate chances to effect their es-
cape. Those who are in for life, or for
a long period Of time, have nothing to
lose and much to gain by forcing their
way by the keepers orthrought the walls.
The incident is Of course quite ag-
gravating to Sheriff Flinn, but It will
doubtless teach him a valuable lesson
by shaking his faith In those OF his
charges who profess to be contrite and
who abuse his goodness of heart at the
frst possible opportunity.
The jail commissioners should also
provide additional safeguards for the
wartiens and increase the facilities for
preventing the success OF such dashes
for liberty by making it necessary for
the prisoners TO get through two iron
doors instead OF one before reaching
the residential portion Of the Jail build
ing.

PRIMITIVE HOUSE LIGHTING.


The finst and most natural way Oh
lighting the houses Of the colonlsts was
found in the fat pitch pine, which was
plentiful everywhere; but as soon as
domestic animals increased canaies
were made, and the manufacture OF the
Winter supply became the special Au-
tumnal duty Of the thrifty housewife.
Great kettles were hung over the
kitchen fire and filed with hot water
and melted tallow. At the cooler end
of the kitchen two long poles were
placed from ehair-back to chair-back.
Across these poles, like the rounds of
ladder. were placed shorter sticks,
called candle-rods. To each candle-rod
were tied about a dozen straight candle
wicks. The wicks were dipped again
and again. I'm regular order, in the
melted tallow-the succession OF dip
pings giving each candle time to cool.
Each grew slowly in size till all were
finished. Deer suet was used as well
as beef tallow and mutton tallOw Wax
candles were made by pressing bits of
half-melted wax around The wick
The Chautauqua.
