mittee Will he Appointed.
Washington, Dec. AT a confer
ence OF about 26 prominent house Re-
publicans held at the Capitol last
night 1t was decided that the eligible
ity of Representatives. Elect Roberts, Of
Utah. to occupy q seat In the house
. of representatives should be investi-
gated and determined. and that pend
ing the decision he should not DO per-
mitted to take the oath Of ONCE.
This decision was arrived at by those
present without dissenting voice.
Representative Taylor. OF Ohio. who
will have charge OF the matter In the
house. explained otter the conference
had adjourned. that this proceeding
does not involve prejudgment Of the
case, but, irrespective of party, will
afford the members an opportunity to
vote after thorough investigation
and complete presentation Of the cass

allegations and presidents and pre-
scented them at length to his col
leagues. He offered plan Of pro-
cedure, which was agreed to after Q
general exchange Of views. The pro-
cedure Ia to be as follows:
When Mr.. Roberts appears at the
bar Of the house to take the oath OBJ
lection is to be made upon the ground
that he is ineligible. He will then
step aside, and after the other MEM
bers are sworn In the member making
the objection-who probably will be
Mr.. Taylor--will recite the allegations
and offer a resolution for their in
vestfgation by q special committee.
This will give the house an opportunity
to vote in the first instance upon the
question Of postponing the admins
tration of the oath until after the al
legations have been investigated. The
resolutions haye not been formulated
yet but they will include the investi-
cation Of the charge that Mr.. Roberts
alleged conviction Of violation Of the
Edmunds act In 1889 renders him in
eligible by the terms of that act,
whether the fact that he Is an avowed
renders him ineligible, and
whether the state of Utah, In electing
him, has not violated the compact by
which she obtained statehood.

The Army of Pensioners.

Washington. Dec. 2.-The annual re-
port Of Secretary of the Interior hitch
cock is of special interest by reason of
its statements regarding pension poll
cies. At the close of the fiscal year
there were 991.519 pensioners, a de-
crease of 2.l95 during the year. The
average value of all pensions was
$1S274. The Spanish war probably
will increase the pension roll during
the current fiscal year The secretary
concurs in the recommendations for
legislation providing that no pension
be granted to commence prior to the
date of filing the claim.

The question can well be asked
is 1t any greater ofIense for a police
oifcer to be intoxicated than any Of
the hcadso Of the force while on duty?
We are not one oil those who favor
a dismissal for the first oiTense,
but we are for dismissal for the
second otfensc. All officers should
be treated alike. Grave oifenses
have been overlooked in the past
towards some of the officers. 9th
ers should take warning and not
give the commissioners an opport IT,
nJty to prefer charges aga.pstthem.

removed. Black was a sergeant
and his place has been filled by
Aaron NJ. Rice, who was promoted
from patrolman to Sergeant. The
captains salary is 5000, sergeant
$500 and patrolman 500 year.
The captain has good record and
should make an ideal officer He
will don his shoulder straps and
assume his new duties on Monday
next. The new sergeant should
make a model officer as he has been
one Of the best patrolmen on the
force. 1t is to be hoped that the
force will not be disturbed for some
time. and it won't be if the men do
their duty.

SHORT sermons are generally
more acceptable than lengthy ones
to the people o! the present day.
Most ministers can say in half an
hour or three quarters at furthest,
as much as the members OF their
congregations desire to hear on any
subject. When "A sermon is extern
ded to an hour, unless the preacher
is unusually eloquent, the hearers
become tired and wish that fur
tIer exposition of the subject could
be postponed until a future meeting.
President Lincoln S short address
on the battle field of Gettysburg
will be remembered long after the
well turned periods and eloquent
sentences Of Mr.. Everett will lie
forgotten. Too many words tire the
nearer and spoil the impression that
should be made. There will be
other days and other opportunities
for further eXhortation and when
the dinner hour arrives it is time to
say amen.

THE only wonder is that more
persons are not killed by the cleo

across the tracks in front of moving
cars and do not appear TO have any
fear for their safety or life or limb.
There is not motorman employed
on our trolley cars who would run
over an animal, much less human
being. They are careful and
watching and it is well that they
are, for if they were not, there
would be many more fatal accidents

their children about the danger Of
playing on the streets where the
cars run and running across the

IT is generally conceded that
President Mckinley will be re-
dominated by the Republican party
for reelection. That he will be
reelected there appears 10 be little
doubt unless the conduct of the war

great many voters who otherwise
would have supported him. We
predict. however. that sufficient
number of Democrats will vote for
him to overbalance the detection of
the Republican supporters Of
Aguinaldo and his adherents. Bry.
an will very likely be the Democrat
lc candidate and it is not likely a
majority OF the people can vote for
his election. 1t is our opinion that
he will be defeated, but he may be
a candidate again in 1904, if his
friends continue to support him.
In that event, 1t is said, Colonel
Roosevelt, Of New York, may be
nominated by the Republicans. He
is popular in his own State, indeed
he is popular wherever he is known
and in all probability he will be
President McKinley's successor.
Bryan's advocacy of free silver
coinage will certainly not be APP.
proved by majority of voters and
he is certainly destined TO defeat.

CRIMINAL acts seem to be increas-
Ing. Every day the newspapers
record some vile act. some criminal
assault, murder or suicide. The
law does not seem to be a terror to
evil doors. Instead OF the people
generally becoming wiser and bet
ter. one class at least seem to be
becoming more wicked. There
should be some remedy by which a
change can be effected. Greater
Testraint should be exercised over
the class disposed to be 1awiess.
There is a great work for reformers
in our own land and relig ious teach
ers should be more active. The
scores Of boys and men no run the
streets on Sunday should be induc-
ed to attend Sunday school or church
services. BY such course they
may be taught to restrain their
passions and become good citizens.
Every boy should learn some trade
or engage in some useful occupation.
Above all, idleness should not be
encouraged or allowed, as the
tramp nuisance is a great one.
Employment is great antidote
against evil, as thu ee-fourths Of the
crimes perpetrated can be traced
to idleness and intemperance. Re-
CORNERS have a great work before
them and every citizen should lend
q helping hand. 1.-THE harvest in
deed is plentiful, but the laborers
are few"

ator promptly followed. April Is he was
elected colonel of the Eighth regiment, Illi-
nols volunteer infantry. In February of
the next year, after six months at Birds
Point he was given command of the First
brigade First division, Army of West Ten
nessee. His men were the first to enter
Fort Henry and for gallant conduct in the
investment and capture of Fort Donelson
he was made brigadier general. In this ca
pacity he fought in the second battle of
Corinth, October 8, 1862, and was so severe
ly wounded that he was carried from the
field supposed to be dying. Hackleman,
who commanded with him, was killed. Gen.
Oglesby was taken to his home in Decatur,
where he lay wavering between life and
death for three months. The anti-war
legislature was in session in Springfield,
and as soon as the general was strong
enough to bear excitement he was invited
to speak before the senate. He appeared in
the hall, his form emaciated and his face
pale from suffering and long confinement.
His voice trembled when he began to speak,
but when his emotion and the intensity OF
his feelings had keyed his strength to the
right pitch he made one of the most thrill
ing speeches ever heard in the legislature.
That speech made him the candidate for
governor in 1864. His wound did not heal
and in June, 1868, he asked that his resigna-
ton be accepted. he having in the mean
time resumed his place in the army. Gen.
Grant refused to accept the resignation,
but granted Oglesby, now major general,
six months leave of absence. The next
year. May "a. 1864. he again urged his resig-
nation, and the next day was nominated
for governor. His opponent was the same
James c. Robinson who had defeated him
for congress in 1868. November Oglesby
was elected. After a rest of four years at
the conclusion of his term Gov. Oglesby
was again chosen to lead the republicans to
victory, and in November, 1872, was again
elected governor of the commonwealth. He
was soon transferred to the senate of the
United States, taking his seat March 4.
1873. At the expiration of his senatorship
in 1879 he declined a reelection. In Novem-
Der, 1884. he was again elected TO the office
of governor. Since the close of his term,
January ], 1889. he had been out of public
life and lived most of the time on his farm
near Elkhart, III

PROTEST FROM GERMANY.
Formal objection Made to the Lam
GuRge Used by Capt. Coghlan,
of the Raleigh.

Washington, April 25.-The German
government has entered formal pro-
test against the language used by Capt.
Coghlan, of the Raleigh, at the Union
League club banquet in New York, last
Friday night.
The protest was lodged with Secre-
tary Hay, through the German ann
bassador, Herr Won Holleben.
Secretary Hay replied that the lam
guage appeared to have been used at
a dinner in a club, and so could not be
regarded as an official or public utter
ance in the sense that would warrant
the state department in acting. How
ever, the navy department was fully
competent to take such action as the
case seemed to require. With this
statement the ambassador was con-
tent for the time at least, and will
doubtless await reasonable length of
time upon the navy department. There
are semi-official limitations that the
ambassador will not so much concern
himself with the course of Capt. Cogh-
Ian, as with the course of the United
States in dealing with Coghlan. The
German ambassador stated Monday
that the poem recited by Capt. Coghlan
was too nasty to be noticed"
