A correspondent Of The Scotsman" writing
Of the vitality and universally Of Walter
Scott's work, mentions two incidents which in
dicate he thinks. the direction in which wind or
tide is setting: During the Jubilee Of 1887
leadng Glasgow minister had been told off TO
accompany some of the Indian visitors
trip down the Clyde When the steamboat was
nearing Roseneath, the ciceTone duly notified
the fact to the Oriental who stood beside him.
THE duslxy innpassive countenance frightened.
.Roseneathr exclaimed the visitor. 'Ah. 1 know
1t from THE Heart Of Midlothian" So
much for India. A few nights ago the writer
OF these lines, spending the evening with cul-
tivated japanese gentleman, learned from him
OF the popularity enjoyed by the Waverley nov
els in Japan. He added that the feudal system
having remained in force there until some thirty
wears ago. those novels which have feudal
coloring are especial favorites. So is 1t, then,
that the leaven Of that one great kindly spirit
is to-day still working the spirits Of increas-
ing thousands leavening them TO itself, even to
Far Cathay.'"
II is believed that the late Bernard Quarltch
left no record of his "reminiscences. which Is
nitv for he had known great number of inter
estine and important people. One of them was
Gladstone of whose knowledge of antique DOCKS
the bookseller had high opinion when the
statesman visited as he often did, the shop in
Piccadilly he was invariably SHOWN py the pro-
prietor any curiosity that CHANGED TO be IN his
possession One day Mr.. Quaritch handed Mr.
Gladstone Sir Thomas Elyot's black letter Cas-
tell of Helth," printed in 1884. and said: DO
you see anything wrong with it?" The old
statesman fixed his pince-rfez and scanned the
title page. Something excited his suspicion, so he
picked up a magnifydng glass and had good
look at the printing. Fac SMILED, and not
type impression, L fancy, Mr.. Quaritch." was
Mr.. Gladstone's comment. He was right; the
title page was missing. but it had been restored
-agenously to deceive anybody LIT an ex-
psfr Mr.. Quaritch wa. wont to say In most
points about book Gladstone's just about as
cute as / myself"

Senator Leland InterrOgated,

The correspondent of the Springfield
Reporter says:
When r. M. Colburn reported that
while riding on the Charlestown road,
he was able, even with bis family
horse, Rosinante, to overhaul w. d.
Wooson, who was taking an airing in
his new automobile, many OF Mr.. Col
burns friends could hardly credit the
report. But few who had been out
with Mr.. Woolson looked painfully and
suspiciously sad, for they we'll knew
that crippled tramp who could walk
only with the aid of crutch had, over
the same track, Cheshire Bridge to
Springfield village, raced with Mr..
Woolson, passing him three times on
the course, and had beaten him into
the village by lap little over four
miles long, therefore they thought it
possible that Mr.. Colburn might have
overtaken him, Mr.. Woolson, not the
tramp.
We are creditbly informed that a
funeral procession in Weathersield
going at the usual gait of such process
sions, was able, and in fact, did over
haul anu even ul5lauCe Ihr. w OOlbOD.
OF course the automobile labored under
disadvantage, for its driver was green
and inexperienced, while the hearse
was handled by veteran sportsman.
The result of the race might have
been different had not the automobile,
at a critical point in the race, bolted the
track and serenely wandered into a
barnyard evidently for no other pur-
pose than to gorge itself with cornstalks
which happened to be there.
We do not wish to unduly criticise a
public servant, but we must say that if
Senator Leland had introduced a bill
requiring farmers to keep their corn
stalks covered up thereby removing
temptation from the way of the un-
sophisticated automobile, it would have
been far more sensible than his bill re
pealing the law requiring the operator
of such machine 10 send man half
mile ahead to warn the people of the
animals approach, for, judging from
what We have been able to learn of the
habits of Mr.. Woolson's automobile, a
man would have to be at least half
mile in advance of it, if he ever wished
to get home.

Eobraska's New Senator's.

Assistant Secretary of War Meikle-
john, who has just returned from Ne
braska, has the following to say of the
situation in his State:
"The Republicans have Is out of 33
members in the Senate, giving them a
majority of 3; and So members out OF
100 in the House, giving them ma
jority of s. This gives the Republi-
cans 70 in the joint Assembly, which
elects Senator to Congress, a majority
Of which is necessary for choice. The
Republicans will organize the Senate
and the House and have majority of
9 in the General Assembly, or five
more than enough to elect der the
Constitution. The Legislature con-
venes on the first Tuesday in January
next. The election of Senator COM
mences on the second Tuesday after
the meeting and organization of the
Legislature. If the Senate and House,
voting separately, fail to make choice
by majority of all the votes in each
House, then one vote at least must be
takan each day in the General Assem-
bly, of the Senate and the House until q
choice is made.
The constitution of Nebraska pro.
vides that: "The Legislature may
provide that the general election imme-
diately preceding the expiration of the
term of United States Senator from
the State, and electors may by ballot
express their preference for some per.
son for the Office of United States Sen.
ator. The votes cast for such candi.
dates shall be canvassed and returned
in the same manner as for State of.
ficers.
"The only candidate for United
States Senator who submitted his can.

BURNED AT STAKE.
Fatal Realism in Young Boys Play
at Trenton, N. ].
Game of INDIAN Ends In the Death of
One Little Fellow who PIucI<ily
Refuses to show the White
Feather.

Eddie Mcbride, l. years old, of Tren-
ton, N. j., met horrible death the
other day at the hands of his play
mates. He was burned alive at the
stake. After school he played with
several companions dressed as Indians,
and part of the boyish game was to let
him escape from the other lads, who
impersonated sayages of the tribe, who
were guarding him as pale face pris-
oner. His flight was not long undiscoy-
cred, and soon the crowd of boys
caught up with the fleeing paleface.
In a jiffy he was thrown to the
ground and rolled over and over, while
q rope was wound about him so tightly
that he resembled mummy. In tri-
umph he was carried back to the tent
from which he escaped.
An aboriginal court-martial was
held. DEATH" cried the boy braves,
and young Mcbride didn't finch, for
he knew the boys were only fooling.
They tied him TO a fence post back Of
the lot. A heap of brush was piled
about his feet, and one venturesome
spirit lighted the pile at the outer edge.
1t was great fun, and hand in hand
the boys danced around the staked
prisoner. They sang and yelled, and
all the time the yellow flame grew big
ger and higher, and Eddie Mcbride be-
gan to feel the warmth of the fire
which began to scorch his delicate
skin. He gritted his teeth. The "other
fellows should see he could stand
pain just as well as a real Indian.
But one boy saw the flames gaining
too much Roadway and from a bench
back of workshop that adjoined the
place he threw what he thought was q
cup of water on the fire. 1t was gas
oline.
With a roar the names1eaped higher.
There was a scream from the little boy
at the stake, and CONSERVATION seized
the boy Indians. They fed in all direc-
tions, leaving their victim shrieking
while the fire fairly ate him up alive.

The Legislature,

1t is early to write the obituary of the
General Assembly whose first session
came to an end this morning. The
story of its doings would probably diff
fer not materially from that of the great
majority of its predecessors, but this,w
are constrained to say, is not high lauda-
ton. For the things it has not done,
as well as for the things it has done, it
will probably merit blame and praise in
about the customary proportion.
1t is not at all clear at this writing
that the good to the State arising from
the expenditure of some 100000, more
or less, is in any wise commensurate
with the expenditure. No act of "con-
structive statesmanship," even of an
inlinitessimal character, is recalled from
the chaos of measures considered. 1t
is very problematical what laws have
come out of the swirl of legislation.
Opportunities to contribute to the ma
terial welfare of the State have been
pounced upon and mercilessly "swat'
ted" by the proposed benefciaries
themselves. Many changes in the
name of reform and economy have
been proposed. What the harvest will
be is for the future to disclose.
Ali that is certain at this time is that
the Legislature has adjourned sine die,
leaving behind mass of debris to be
cleared up and sorted out. The men,
bers themselves will probably be await
ing the publication of their recent acts
with as great curiosity as the general
public to discover what has actually
been done.
For the vices of the system, or lack
of system, which makes the meeting of
the Legislature very much an occasion
of dread and apprehension, and its
doings chaos, the people themselves are
primarily at fault. They do not choose
to constitute State government on a
rational, business-like basis. They SOW
to the wind and inevitably reap the
whirlwind. There are no visible signs
that they wish to do otherwise. Eph-
rain is joined to his idols.

Friction with the Governor.

Taken as a whole this Legislature
has been exceptionally free from any
personal bitterness or hostility between
the two bodies. The Governors mes
sage to the House, insane poor ex-
pensee1 and thes presentation of such
important legislation at such a late
date was an unusual act; as a result the
judiciary committee, made up of the
coolest heads of the House, unanimous
ly reported the bill adversely and the
House, without word of debate, killed
the bills by an overwhelming vote.
1t was midnight when the greatest
breach appeared. AS soon as it was
known that the bill enabling the Bur-
dit Brothers to make a claim against
the Central Vermont Railway Co. for
grain destroyed in the Ogdensburg ele-
vator fire had passed the Senate, spe-
cial car and engine was at once started
out of st. Adams with G. M. Wilds on
board. AS soon as he arrived he was
ushered into the executive chamber and
after a consultation the Governor sent
a message to the House saying that he
had vetoed the bill. Everybody felt
indignant and as soon as the members
of the House could be gathered yea
and nay vote was taken on the ques-
ton whether the House should pass
the bill over his veto, resulting in yeas
1853, nays 5. In the Senate the vote
was yeas 21, nays 5, showing a support
of only 10 votes in both bodies. Free

over the executive objections. The
Legislature, however, did not establish
such a reputation for wisdom as should
enlitle its judgments always to I'M
questioning acceptance. 1t is barely
possible the Governor was nearer right
than the Legislature both in this matter
Of claims against a railway and of the
State policy in respect of the insane
poor. He is certainly entitled TO sus
pension of public judgment till the BIZ
sis of an intelligent judgment is obtain
ed. On general principles the circum-
stances that he was sometimes out OF
accord with the majority ofeither house
or both houses of the General Assem-
bly, ought to be construed in his favor.

The vote of Nebraska in the late
election would seem to 90 far to dispel
any misconception as to Mr.. Bryan's
popularity. The majority against him
cast in his own State was 1922, while
that against the Democratic candidate
for Governor in the same poll was but
862. This would appear to be the most
unkind cut of the entire election, which
is saying very much.
