The Worcester Spy says that any
Worcester county man who fails to
claim that ne has caught a two pound
trout some time this spring or sum
mer, will not be eligible to vote at the
fall elections. But this does not apply
to Worcester city demanding every Of
flee there is sailing through the heavens
not more than five miles above the
earth.-Wor West Chronicle.
The effects of the heated season are
first apparent this year in Athol. If
the caloric of June produces such de-
plorable results, what is to be expect
ed when the baneful dog star reigns
for period? Worcester is ever look
ing for treasures in heaven, and if
they appear in the shape of substan-
tial offices, there seems to be no law
to prevent the good citizens of this
town from plucking them when they
are ripe.

1t is unkind perhaps, to controvert
the statements of the Bryan organs, but
truth is strong and should prevail. A
perusal of the pessimistic papers which
support the free silver orator
would lead to the conclusion that
all the drummers in the coun-
try have seen their finish through
the combinations, called trusts, and
that story telling is speedily to be-
come a lost art But the drummer seems
to be doing business at the old stand in
spite of the croakers. In Omaha, where
Bryan once prodded the octopus with
the pen, it appears that % firms which
employed ia commercial travellers, two
years ago, are now giving employment
to 245. But such facts as these are not
what the populists want. What they
need most are cyclometers that can
be attached to their hats.

The stir that has been made in Eng
land over the destruction of the mahdrs
tomb, the decapitation of his body and
the throwing of the trunk into the Nile,
has brought out the obvious defence.
The determination of mahdsm was in
dispensable to the permanent reclaim
ing of the Soudan, and determination
was impossible so long as the sham
divinity of the self-styled prophet re-
manned unexposed and his tomb con-
tinued as a place of holy pilgrimage.
Whatever acts of unseemly vandalism
may have been committed by individ-
uals are to be condemned and deplored,
but they are hardly to be laid as a
stigma upon the sirdar or the govern
ment. The rigors of modern warfare
received a fearful illustration in the
Soudan, for the savage knows not how
to mitigate its seventies. Women and
children were huddled with warriors,
cattle and camels within Mahmouds
zariba at the Atbara. and all shared
death Unfortunately. AS for the
wounded mahdists who were afterwards
slain, it is more accurate to say that
they would not accept quarter than that
they were denied it by the British and
Egyptians. When the true history of the
Philippine campaign is written, some
parallelism may be found between that
and Kitchener's.

Under d recent law, persons convict
ed Of Drunkenness will be liable to
shorter terms of Imprisonment than for
merly. There has been readadjust-
ment of the prison equivalents for the
respective fines. What was once S. or
80 days is now S. or eight days The
rates are progressive, however, so that
a SO fine is deemed equivalent to %
days Imprisonment. One of the first
results Of this change of law is a de-
crease in the receipts of the police and
district courts. Men who would raise
five dollars to save comrade from a
month in Jail are apparently less moved
to compassion, when he has only eight
days to spend in confinement. In the
western part of the state marked de-
crease Of receipts and a filling UP of
the jails are already reported. The
police judge, however, has the remedy
in his own hands. He need only raise the
price of a common drunk a dollar or
two, and up goes the term of impris-
Cnment. Presumably the money would
then be forthcoming as formerly.

4 TAME LEGISLATUBE.

The legislature of 1899 closed its
work with a record of rather mixed re-
suits. 1t contained an unusually large
percentage of new and inexperienced
members, and the fact would naturally
tend to impair the sum total of the eff
ficiency of the body, barring the pos
sibility that the new members might
be of more than average ability. AS a
matter of fact, very few of the new
men achieved distinction as legislators
or debaters. These remarks apply more
especially to the house than the senate,
for the upper house is commonly re-
garded as strong.
More conspicuous than any other fea-
ture of the session was the scarcity of
legislation of general and commanding
interest. This may be illustrated by
the fact that hardly anything attracted
more attention or caused greater ex-
citement than the struggle over the
bill for replacing car tracks in Ire
mont street. A measure which was of
no concern to anybody outside of Bos-
ton. The Spanish war veterans prefer
ence bill called out one of the ser-.
vetoes administered by Govern
colt. Liquor legislation was 81,
by a limitation of the number q. .a.
to be licensed in Boston, but nc.
second bill had been passed to s...r
the first, and a third to correct
ror in the second. The taking
Wachusett and Nantasket Beac
public parks, the wide tire bill
bill to compel railroads to carry
cles as baggage were topics that .r.
haps interested the public as mucl
any. Important questions of taxat
came up, but no innovations were mi .
in this line.
So Insignificant has the democra .
minority in the legislature been f
several years, that there is little motfv
for the display Of partisan politics
Such exhibitions Of this sort have been
in the past half year, generally. CEN
tered about Boston, and that city's af-
fairs received no inconsiderable at
tention. The general court has been
free from scandal, and, though once
there were rather strong hints of trou-
BILE in some Of the state commissions.
the sensation was a fzzle. Despite the
eccentricities of two or three members
and the vivacity of others, the session
as whole has been uncommonly tame.
Some desirable changes have been
made in the laws, but for the most part
the forthcoming blue book is likely to
prove an inconsequential volume.

If Count Esterhazy were not such a
consummate rascal, his confession to
having forged the Dreyfus bordereau
would be of supreme Importance. But
his tales have been so numerous, fire.
quent and improbable, during the last
few months of the Dreyfus imbroglio,
that it is now impossible to give COM
plete credence to anything he says.
However, his latest confession is so
in line with common belief that this
time France probably will accept his
statement as gospel. France has now
nothing further to fear from the Drey-
fus case except the odium which will
result from further refusal to accord
the prisoner of Devils Island justice
and fair play. 1t is a strange spectacle
to see a nation prize honor above jus
tice, especially such "honor" as is Sc
cured through perjury and forgery The
future historian commenting upon
Frances attitude in the Dreyfus cpl
sode may we'll quote Tennyson's verse:
Her honor rooted in dishonor stood. IS

Nobody will set great store by the
movement now on foot for a rapproche-
ment between Germany and France.
1t comes from the wrong side
Of the bloody chasm. No doubt it is
very considerate of German editors,
professors and politicians to talk about
forgetting old scores. 1t is charming
to hear Prof. Mommsen, the historian,
say that the future of civilization de-
ponds upon friendly understanding
between Germany and France; but the
situation would be more reassuring if
France would respond in similar vein.
A former president of the reichstag
says there has been IAN intellectual
approximation" between the two ma
tions, but the evidence of friendliness is
not conclusive, so long as France main
tains a great army for the avowed pur-
pose of defence and revenge"

HAS DESIRED EFFECT.
All City Bills Are Coming Into Auditors
Office Unusually Rapid

The general order issued by Mayor
Dodge, to heads Of the different city
departments to the effect that all bills
shall be in the hands of the city audi
tor on or before the sixth day Of each
month, following date of the order, is
producing the desired effect. City Aud
itor John B. Bowker says that the bills
are coming in earlier this month than
any time since he assumed the office.
The fact that certain city depart
ments may be obliged to hold certain
extra sessions, taking for example, the
board of health, which was the first
TO have this matter brought to its at
tention, is provided for in section ),
chapter "a, of the city ordinances,
which, in addition to stating that the
board shall meet on the first Friday Of
each month, reads, And at such other
times as it may from time to time or
der or direct at any regular meeting,
OF at any time when called to meet by
order of the mayor, or chairman of the
board"
With two exceptions, the first Friday
in the month during the balance Of this
year comes before the sixth, so that
members Of the board will not be Sc
riously inconvenience by the new rule.

The country starts in the last month
of the fiscal year with a gold money
supply of a billion dollars. This is of
interest because of large sums sent TO
Cuba and the Philippines and the $40
600 600 payment to Spain. The gold
paid to Spain went out of the treasury
but not out of the country for the New
York bankers settled the bills with ex-
change on Europe. Meanwhile there
have been some imports of gold during
May, and the mines have been turning
out the yellow metal at the rate of
s., 600, 900 a month. Even the treasury
has regained more than one-tenth of
the amount paid TO Spain. With the
continued promise of ample revenues
as well as a larger money supply than
ever before, there seems to be nothing
in the monetary situation to cause ap-
prehension in business circles. Yet that
has been a common source of trouble
after periods OF unusual activity in
stocks.

This month, Miami university, the
first of the western colleges. a child of
the old Western Reserve and the ordi-
nance of 1887, will celebrate it's 18th an
niversary. This is matter of national
concern, for few colleges have a more
distinguished alumni roll of statesmen.
How well it deserves the name of 1.-THE
Yale of the west" or THE mother of
statesmen" may be judged from list
of former students. 1t includes the
names of Benjamin Harrison, David
Swing, Milton Sayer, once speaker of
the federal House of Representatives
Gen. Robert C. Schenck, Caleb B. Smith,
secretary of the interior in Lincoln's
cabinet, Whitelaw Reid, Calvin S.
Brice, Samuel Shellabarger, Oliver P.

A very considerable addition to the
treasury receipts has been contributed
by the booming stock market, the
formation of new corporations and the
enormous aggregate transfers of stocks.
So large have the individual taxes be-
come that the government is said to
be preparing issues of 500, $500 and
$1,000 denominations of documentary
revenue stamps. At the rate things are
doing, nobody but a multi-millionaire

Not the least interesting fact connect
ed with the arrival of the new Spanish
ambassador at Washington is the fact
that he is one of the few men who ever
got the better of Dewey, D'Arcos and
Dewey were rival suitors for the hand
of Miss Virginia Lowry. Don Jose
Brunetti y Gayoso, Duke d'Arcos, was
the favored one. Perhaps that accounts
for the admiral.s thoroughness and
efficiency when dealing with Spaniards.
