An Honorable Man.

Giles F. Filley, of st. Louis, was call
ed to his long rest few days ago. In
some ways he was a remarkable char
acter. His idea of honor and integrity
belonged to the old school, and it was
doubtful whether even the old school
ever produced another like him. The
action OF Giles f. Filley in paying over
Sl,SOO,O0 on the paper of friend for
whom he had indorsed is probably
without a parallel in the commercial
world. In 1864 Giles F. Fllley was the
head OF the Excelsior Manufacturing
Company, which was one of the larg-
est stove and range works in the coun-
try. He was one OF the leading busl-
ness men OF the West, and had two
brothers who stood high in the COM
mercial world. He indorsed for a
friend. and when the friend failed he
undertook to fulfill the tremendous OBJ
legation he had assumed. And he did

Electing Senators BY the Peo.
ole.

II Quay shall be admitted to the
Senate there is little doubt that the
movement for the election of United
States Senators by the people will re-
ceive new impetus. and the manner
in which Montana has acted in the
latest Legislative choice made by her
of Senator must naturally contribute
to the same end. Yet it will not do tc
be sure Of the early adoption of this
change. 1t must be accomplished by
constitutional amendment If it is tc
come, and this is an exceedingly slow
process. 1t is far from being demon
strated that such an amendment could
pass the senate; there are too many OF
its members satisfied with the "rich
mems club" character of that body as
1t Is, and small minority of Leglsla-
lures will have the power to'defeat II
II it gets through Congress. It is to be
remembered that Legislators who vote
for it are renouncing a power that
now resides in themselves.-B

Klond1ker Wants to Be Gov.
ernor of West Virginia.

Parkersburg. w. Va. March A.
Isaac G. Ralphsnyder, of Marion coun-
ty, the reputed millionaire, who dur
ing the last campaign sought the nom
ination for Governor on the Demo-
cratic ticket and VINO since that time
has been in the Klondike region, has
returned to West Virginia and will
make another fight fer the nomination
he asked for four years ago. Mr..
Ralphsnyder, whom it is alleged, in
1896, represented the silver syndicate
was made the candidate Of the Popu-
lists, and, after obtaining their in
dorsement, offered to pay all expenses
of the campaign If he was nominated
on the Democratic ticket. He was ig-
nored by General c. c. Watts, whom
Governor Atkinson easily defeated

They Are Worthy of Support.

The Pittsburg and Cincinnati Pack
ct Line has established a new record
for itself for efficiency. During the
present ice season it not only did not
lay up its boats, but kept them all go
ing, and, not only that, but they were
all at all times on schedule time. This
is record that the company may be
proud Of and shippers will not be
slow to show their appreciation of a
company that runs boats which can
run in the ice and do not have to quit
for every little obstacle to easy navi-
CATION. The steamer Queen City, the
finest steamboat on the Ohio river by
the way, arrived here Friday night at
II O'Clock. On her trip from Pitts
burg to Cincinnati she met but FIVE
steamboats,, and two of those were
boats of her own line. Captain J. F.
Ellison, the company's superintendent
here, is never boastful, but he is very
proud of his boats, and upon being
ccmplmentei yesterday by friends up
on the splendid record the ooats have
made this week he was very well
pleased. There is not another line CT
packets on the Ohio river that is as
we'll kept up as the Pittsburg Lines
boats.-COmmerclal Tribune.

West Virginia League at Park
ersburg.

Parkersburg, W. Va, March 4.-The
convention OF the State League of Re-
publican Clubs, which will meet here
on Thursday next, will be one Of the
most notable political gatherings ever
held in West Virginia. In the absence
of President Howard Atkinson, son of
Governor Atkinson, who is serving
with his regiment in the Philippines.
the convention will be called to order
by First Vice President w. B. Mat
thews. The first business will be the
selection of delegates to the National
Convention of Republican Clubs, which
will meet in st. Paul, and the appoint
ment of the regular committees. The
afternoon session will be taken up
with the election of officers and an ad-
dress by United States Senator Thurs
ton, Of Nebraska At night Senator
Elkins will deliver the principal ad
dress. Senator Scott viii doubtless
preside during Senator Thurston's ad-
dress. Several thousand delegates are
expected to be in attendance.
The contest between Hen. Thomas
R. Barrett and Hon. James w. Van
dervort both of this city, is very ami
mated, and the friends of each are so
very evenly divided that it may be
necessary to drop both and name some
dark horse

Sheldon's Experiment Show
ing Up Biz.

Topeka, Kan, March AT the
close OF business Of the Capital count
ing room last night the subscription
for the Sheldon edition, beginning
with the issue of March 3, passed the
100000 mark, with bushel basket
full of letters unopened.
To-Day an express wagon hauled TO
the Office load of letters which will
require the services OF dozen extra
clerks tomorrow morning to open and
put on the mailing list.
1t Is thought the rush has only com
menced. This unique venture, in a
business way, is surprising the fond
est dreams of the originators. and to
handle it the Capital needs the facil-
ties OF the largest metropolitan daily
newspaper in the United States.
Subscriptions are coming from every
civilized quarter of the globe. The To-
peka postoflce is already cloCged, and
Postmaster Guthrie has telegraphed to
Washington twice for additional help.

Stories Of Pittsburg Coal Men.

Several years ago an official of one
of the large iron mills of Pittsburg
had barrel of whlskey presented to
him. Having no use fer such large
quantity Of the beverage, he sent ii to
a storage house for safekeeping. His
friends frequently asked him about the
barrel,a and fiEally he consented to send
for the barrel and open it on his birth
day. Among the invited guests was a
prominent Pittsburg ccal man, who,
thinking that all his confreres would
be invited, sent the following accept
ance; 81 will be glad to be on hand at
your opening but, if you will allow
suggestion. would advise you net
to invite many coal men If you have
only one barrel. ."-Commereial TIib-

A Delicate Woman Stopped a
Fight on a Train.

Louisville, March 3.-In a crowded
passenger car on the R. N |. & B. Rail-
road yesterday, it was a woman, Mrs.
Lewis Johnstone, of Ft. Garrett Wood
ford county, who had the nerve to dis
arm drunken soldier and probably
prevent murder. At Nicholasville
among the passengers who got on the
train was returned veteran of the
Philippine war enroute to his home in
Eastern Kentucky. He bore evidence
of the hardships he had endured, the
influence of drink being strongly
marked. He was drunk when ne
boarded the train, and when the con-
ductor demonstrated with him about
his disorderly conduct, the soldier
drew a pistol. Captain Pate, who was
in charge of the train, had a struggle
with the soldier and succeeded in dis
arming him.
The conductor went into the bag
gage car, and while he was gone the
NO'eASA oPShcu hio oatthOl lOOh
out razor which he slipped up his
sleeve. He took his position by the
ioor OF the coach to await the return
of the conductor.
The passengers started a stampede to
the rear OF the coach. Finally Mrs.
Johnstone, who is woman of medium
size and not strong, went up to the SOL
dier, and, laying her hand firmly on
his shoulder, said:
What do you mean to do? Give me
that razor Instantly! Aren't you
ashamed. A soldier coming home his
mother awaiting him, and he is drunk
and planning murder. What wouli
your mother say if she saw you today?
Give me that razor instantly and you
may get home with liberty and hon
Dr."
Without word the soldier handed
cut the razor, and the passengers
oreathed easy again.
