Some Novel Bills.

~HE freak bills introduced in the
California legislature for the
slaughter of newspaper men and
prohibiting newspapers from printing
carlcatures are not the only novel bills
which have been introduced in various
of the state legislatures which are
now'in session all over the country.
In Connecticut, once dominated by
the blue laws, bill has been intro
duced permitting any person to OBJ
serve Sunday as he sees fit, provided
he does not interfere with anybody
else's observance of the Sabbath.
1t permits the playing of golf, foot
ball, baseball and other sports on Sum
day, and allows horse racing.
In Illinois, on the other hand, a bill
has been introduced prohibiting theat-
ncal performances on Sunday
In the Missouri legislature there is a
Dill requiring saloons to pay for the
maintenance of a home for inebriates
In North Carolina a bill has been ia
Vorably reported requiring that to vote
a person must be able to read or write
any portion Of the constitution and
must show poll tax receipt. 1t does
not apply, however, to persons who had
the right of suffrage prior to 1867. and
is apparently aimed at the negro vote.
In North Dakota there is a bill re-
curing twelve months residence in
the state before d divorce can be Oh

Slavery Once More.

~HE expansion policy has once
more established slavery within
the dominion of the United
States. Thirty-siX years ago Abraham
Lincoln, president of the United States,
issued an emancipation proclamation
declaring slaves thenceforward and for
ever free. This was supplemented two
years later by the adoption of the thir-
tenth amendment to the constitution
of the United States, which. declares
that slavery shall no longer exist within
the United States or in any place sub
ject to their jurisdiction.
After the passage of a third of a CEN
fury slavery is once more established
within the jurisdiction of the United
States. 1t is one of the fixed institutions
of the Sulu island group.
When the peace commissioners in
Sulu archipelago the United States ac-
quired territory which is likely to prove
very unruly. The people of the is
lands probably are not yet aware that
they belong ITO America, but there will
surely be trouble when the attempt is
made to break them of some of their
bad habits.
The Sulu archipelago is the southern
most partpof the Philippine group, lying
east of Borneo. It is ruled over by a
sultan who has a harem of beautiful
sultanas, and about 100000 Mussulman
iards have waged war against the sui
tan of Sulu without ever bringing
him completely into subsection, al
though the archipelago was claimed by
Spain and coded by that country to
the United States.
The sultan resides at Maybun on the
island of Sulu, the largest in the archi-
pelago, being thirty-four miles long
and twelve miles broad. There are one
hundred and forty islands in the archi-
pelago of which only sixty are in
habited.
The slaves are prisoners taken in war,
insolvent debtors and persons captured
in piratical expeditions Slavery has
existed on the islands ever since the is
lands became known to the civilized
world.
All Sulus above sixteen.years of age
must undergo military service. This
service consists mainly in engaging in
piratical expeditions to neighboring
islands to capture prisoners in order to
increase the number of slaves.

A Steering Committee.

TT is the understanding that a joint
steering committee is to be APP
pointed by the house and senate at
Helena tomorrow. It will be the duty
Of this committee to steer the remain
ing legislation that is pending before
the legislature with the view of push
ing the important bills, or the bills
which find favor with the majority of
the committee, and smothering bills
which do not meet the approval of the
committee
1t is the custom to appoint a steering
committee on the fortieth day of the
session which will be tomorrow. The
legislators have free rein during the
first forty days, and the various bills
which are introduced take their regu-
lar course. During the remaining twenty
days of the session the steering COM
mittee will be in control and will die
tate the order in which bills shall be
considered In this way some bills in
troduced early in the session may never
get hearing at all, while bills intro
duced the last few days of the session
may be placed at the top of the list and
receive immediate consideration. 1t
all depends on how the steering com
mittee views certain legislators bill,
or how the legislator may stand in
with the members of the committee.
Up to yesterday there had been one
hundred and thirty three bills introduce
ed in the house, and about sixty-five in
the senate. The total is only about one
half of what had been introduced in
the corresponding period two years ago.
The senate is apparently we'll up with
the work before it while the house has
a mass of work on it's hands and will
soon be obliged to hold extra sessions.

Gently paid $4,000 for a set of Dresden

Senator Grady will introduce a bill
in the New York legislature creating
the Office of censor of public amuse-
ments. The measure it Is announced,
is to be strictly non-political, and the
censor will be a person without pull
with the boys" though how such an
appointment is to be made in New York
is not explained. The proposed bill Is
said to be regarded favorably by many
of the legislators though 1t is admitted
that New York's frequent theatrical
indecencies are not due to lack of law.
The movement for the formation of
Peoples clubs in New York is now well
established somewhere in the neighbour
hood of Cooper union. The object is the
study Of problems Of the day and social
intercourse All persons Of good char
acter over Is years of age and Of both
sexes are eligible for membership. The
chief feature which Is attracting atten-
ton is that liquors will be sold in these
clubs at cost whenever the club de-
sires it. The membership dues are to
be 25 cents q month.
The Alabama senate has passed a bill
which indicates that the public dis
pensary idea is growing popular in the
South. The bill permits counties to en-
gage, at their option, in the liquor bus
mess, and provides that no liquor is al
lowed to be drunk on the premises on
which it is sold; that liquor cannot be
sold between the hours Of 8 p. m. of one
day and 6 a. m. of the next day; that a
man can make only one purchase in
one day; that liquor cannot be sold in
quantities les than half a pint and that
the dispenser, or the man who sells, re-
ceives a salary which is independent Of
the amount of his sales. The Alabama
prohibitionists are said to favor this
measure.

than average intelligence. He was born
at Cavite, near, Manila, of good family
and speaks three or four languages
fluently. He Joined the Insurgents in
1896 and became one of the leaders OF
the movement after the execution OF
Dir. Rial by the Spaniards. The IN
surgents agreed to cease hostilities for
100000. Having received the money
Aguinaldo started for Paris. AT singa-
pore he heard the news of the destruct-
ion of the Maine and remained there to
await developments. Aguinaldo claims
that representatives. of the United
States entered into an agreement that
If he would assist our troops in ex-
polling the Spaniards, the independence
of the Filipinos would be recognized by
the United States.
Aguinaldo left Hong Kong soon after
Dewey's victory on the dispatch boat
McCulloch. He landed in Cavite and
soon collected an army. He met with
repeated success against the Spaniards
and with each success his estimate of
his own Importance increased. He took
possession of Iloilo on the evacuation
of that place by the Spaniards. Except
in Iloilo, on the island of Pana, the in
surrection is confined to the island of
Luzon, the only island in the group
which the United States actually cap
tured from Spain. sg,-rs-t.r~ --~e ~
1t is the general opinion that Aguin-
aldo is an adventurer instead of a
patriot, and that he would quickly de-
sist if he could hold up the United
States as Gomez did, and as he held UP
the Spaniards.. The only thing to do
now is to whip him thoroughly, and that
Otis will do.

Another bill in the Kansas legislature
provides that hereafter all bills intro
dueed shall be anonymous. 1t is claim
ed that many meritorious bills are
killed because of partisanship or per-
sonal antipathy to the introducer.
The California legislature is consid-
ering bills for THE suppression of pool
rooms, limiting the speed of street cars
to eight miles per hour, for imprison-
ment for debt, revising the jury law
in such a way as to dispense with the
professional juror, and providing for a

Otis and Aguinaldo.

e~HE two central figures in the Fill
ipino conflict are Brigadier Cen
eral Elwell S. Otis, U. s. A.,
commanding the forces in the Philip
pines, and Emilio Aguinaldo While
Dewey will be heard from often his
operations are confined to the sea, The
insurgents have no ships and are not
likely to again get near enough to the
coast to be within range of Dewev's
guns. The balance of the fighting will
likely be far in the interior Of the is
land of Luzon.
General Otis entered the union army
July Is, 1862 as captain OF the One
hundred and fortieth New York volun-
teers. He was made lieutenant colonel
Dec. %, 1863, and was brevetted brig
adler general of volunteers. March IS,
1866. On July rs, 1866 he was appointed
lieutenant colonel of the Twenty Second
United States infantry. He became col
onel of the Twentieth United States
infantry on Feb. 8, 1890 and brisadier
general on Nov. &c, 1893. General Otis
distinguished himself for gallantry at
the battles of Spottsylvania and Chapel
Hill, Va, during the civil war. Gen.
Marcus P. Miller. colonel of the Third
artillery, is the only officer of high rank
in the Philippine army who has re-
ceiyed West Point training.
Aguinaldo is about thirty years of
age. and is described as man of more
