WASHINGTON.
Eliza Cook

Eliza Cook.
Rene had its Caesar great and brave, but
stain was on his wreath:
He lived the heartess conqueror, and died
the tyrant's death.
France had it's eagle; but his wings, though
lofty they might soar,
Were spr:ad in false ambitions flight, and
dipped in murders gore
Those hero-gods, whose mighty sway would
fain have chained the waves
Who flashed their blades with tiger-zeal to
make world of slaves
Who, though their kindred barred the path,
Oh! where shall be their glory" by the
side of Washington?
He fought. but not with love of strife-he
struck but to defend;
And ere he turned a peoples foe, he sought
to be friend.
He strove to keep his country's right, by
reasons gentle word,
And sighed when fell injustice threw the
challenge-sword to sword
He stood. the firm, the calm, the wise, the
patriot, and sage;
He showed no deep, avenging hate-no burst
of despot rage. '"a.-
He stood for liberty and truth, and daunt-
Till shouts of victory gave forth the name
of Washington.
He saved his land, but did not lay his
soldier trappings down
To change them for the regal vest, and don
a kngly crown.
Fame was too earnest in her joy-too proud
To let a robe and title mask noble Wash.

BALLOT REFORM.
Proposed Abolition of the "CircIe" on
Ofiicial Ballots.

SHicdSO ,HIOliCit'
The bill pending in the legislature pro-
viding that the "crcle" shall not be printed
at the head of each party list of candidates
on the official ballot is in the interest of in
dependent voting and of freedom from
boss" rule at the polls. The Australian
ballot on which our official ballot Is mod
eled, has no mark by which the candidates
of parties are designated. The voter finds
before him list OF all the candidates, none
having a party label, and he marks the
names of those for whom he desires to vote.
In this way he votes for the men and not
for the "circle'' at the head of a party list.
The "circle" at the head of the lists of
party candidates Is plan to save time for
the voter. BY one mark he can vote for a
dozen or twenty candidates. Without the
circle" he would have to mark the name
of each candidate that he supports, making
great number of marks instead of one. In
recent interview County Judge Carter said
that at one time he had been in favor of
abolishing the "circle" as an aid to inde-
pendent voting but that he had changed his
mind. He said that the extra time required
to accommodate voters making a mark for
each name on their ticket would render 1t
impossible for the present number of voters
In precinct to prepare and deposit their
ballots during the time for the polls to be
open tnere would nave 10 De great many
more precincts, with a less number of voters
in each. He estimated that 300 more pre-
cincts would be necessary, increasing the
cost of holding an election by the sum of
500, 900. For these reasons he was opposed
to a change
As rule the caucus "bosses" are in favor
of retaining the Circle on the ballot. 1t
promotes partisan objects. 1t places bur-
den on independence at the polls. 1t re-
quires effort and labor 20 exercise the free
dom OF choice between candidates. It holds
parties together, 1t strengthens the bonds of
political slavery. 1t costs more time and
sacrifice for the voter to exercise an intel
ligent purpose In selecting the candidates
for whom he viii cast his vote,
But free and Independent franchise is
worth all that It costs to the voter and to
the public,

Sir George Paget in explaining to the
company why he had placed orders for
locomotives in the United States paid
the highest possible compliment to our
mechanical skill and the expedition with
which we do business. According to his
statement not an engine had been de-
livered of the order placed with the Eng
lish works in December of 1897 and
they would not promise one in less than
fifteen months after the contract is
made, while the American manufactur-
ers guaranteed shipment in from ten
weeks to three months. That the Amer
ican-made locomotive is superior to
those of England has come to be gen.
orally recognized fact, even over there,
and consequently the reason that we
can make them quicker than the Eng
lish manufacturer is attributable not to
poor or hasty workmanship, but to the
fact that in machinery, especially of
the laborsaving variety, and in mechan-
ical skill we far surpass any country in
the world where this kind Of work is
done. English methods are Of those of
decade or more gone by, while ours
are of today, quick to see and to apply
improvements promising the greatest
amount of the best products in the
shortest space of time, with the natural
result that we have left our competitors
SO far behind that they are no longer
in the race.

The late Judge Reuben Merriwether Dor
sey of Howard county, Maryland, was born

Representative Eddy of Minnesota has

DR.. Murray expects to have more than
half of the new English dictionary published

the English compilers the greatest difficulty
is, curiously enough, the letter H.
Henry Watterson, the Kentucky editor, is
one of the ablest judges of champagne in
the world. He always orders one particular
brand, and never asks any questions about
the specimen offered He simply examines
the cork with great care. If it meets with
his appreciation he knows that the wine Is

Adjutant General Corbin's dislike of GEN
eral Miles Is said to be in a sense inherited
from General Crook, the great Indian fighter,
for whom Corbin entertained the warmest
possible regard Like many of Crooks close
friends, General Corbin holds that Miles
usurped much credit in connection with the
campaign against Geronimo which credit
rghtfully belonged to General Crook,
1t is said that General Fitzhugh Lee has
an unfaling plan to distract the attention
of his Cuban friends when they become too
pressing in their inquiries about the inten-
tions of the United States. He asks them
what they think OF General Julio Sangully.
Half Cuba thinks him traitor and the other
half the greatest OF patriots, and the dis
cussion which ensues always shuts out all
other topics.

NO HoLD-OVER ENATOR POSSIBLE


For the benefit of many inquirers, the
information is given that there is no
such thing as a hold-Over United States
senator. United States senators are
elected for terms of six years and at
the expiration of that time their Off
cial terms cease without recourse of
any kind.
The election of United States senator
is by the constitution vested in the
legislature, and the procedure govern
ing the balloting is prescribed by con-
gressional statute. The federal consti-
tuition also provides that in case of
vacancy by reason of death, resignation
or disability the position may be filed
temporarily, until the next meeting of
| the Legislature, by appointment of the
governor. Under these provisions it
has been established by precedent that
the failure of the legislature to arrive
at n choice in its balloting does not
create the vacancy contemplated by
the constitution subject to be filed by
appointment by the governor. AS a
consequence should the legislature of
| any state adjourn without effecting the
election of senator devolving upon it,
the seat in the senate belonging TO
that state would remain vacant until
some person should secure the neces-
sary credentials from the next session
of the legislature duly qualified to elect.
With reference to the Nebraska sena-
torship therefore, it may be put down
as settled that the present outgoing in
cumbent will cease to be senator at
noon March H. and that no one can take
the place as his successor except as the
choice of a majority of the members OF
both houses of the legislature balloting
In joint session.

a municipal government run OH the
hand-tomouth plan cannot possibly
give the same efficient service as one
with ample financial resources for all
legitimate expenditures. When the re-
duction in the police fund compels the
police board to reduce the size of the
police force by dismissing twenty to
thirty officers the people of Omaha can
not expect as good police protection as
they had been enjoying before the po-
lice force was cut down. The same is
true with respect to other departments
of the city government. The taxpayers
cannot get more service from their pub
lie officers than they pay for.
