Silly Billy.

The Tippccanoe Club, ar organization Of
Chicago Republicans, has asked the Hon.
BILLY MASON to resign his seat in the
United States Senate. Only two members
opposed this reasonable request. The Tip
pecanoe Club reminds the junior senator
from Illinois that while he was elected as q
Republican he ia continually opposing a
Republican Administration. and that while
he is, or was, Supposed to be an American
he is always going out OF his way to show
his sympathy with the enemies OF tho
United States in the Philippines.
Last year there was a report that Mr..
MASON had said that he would resign in a
certain contingency. Thereupon with touch
ing u|nanimity Republicans and Republican
journals in Illinois begged and prayed him
to resign and not to stand upon the order
Of his going, but go at once. But although
wisdom will not die with him, he has sense
enough to know that he will never get an
other conspicuous Office and he will hold on
to his job. Airy rumors of giant salaries
with which Chicago corporations are tempt
ing him fit about from time TO time, but
still he stays. There may be corporations
with souls enough to pity the State and
mulct themselves heavily by e~nticing Mr..
MASON into private life. but the world 10
sceptical.
There Is no help for poor Illinois. 1t may
be some consolation for her to remember
that she is not alone in her humiliation.
South Dakota would be just as glad to get
rid of PETrlGREw "a Illinois would be TO
get rid of MASON: and the country could
spare both.

News From Fra dorado and the IL.
Iinois Renaissance.

The wanton destruction OF Fra dorado
TAFT's porkly nymphs of the fountain
or the lake front has not disheartened
the pioneer Of the Illinois renaissance.
Fra LORADO is still In the fight Tor early
Florcntine ideals. He has gone to work
bravely and Systematically to educate tho
citizens Of his adopted State up to a proper
appreciation Of porkly art, So that when he
and his pupils establish another set of
bath.tub nymphs in a public place in the
city Of Chicago, the nymphs shall neither
be- i"ercd mt by the populace nor made n
target for the a%morphous missiles Of
brutal iconoclasm.
We observe that Fra dorado builds great
hopes upon the extraordinary interest in
early Fiorentine ideals which the women
clubs OF Illinois are now manifesting, par
tirularly in the rural sections. He writes
To the chicago Record that he was recently
astonished to receive from the fine arts
section of a womon's club in u small
town Of 5000 Inhabitants In southwestern
Illinois n request to lecture to them on
GILBERT, D~oSATELLo, the DELLA ROB-
BIAS, and all the rest, as Fra dorado
affectionately Jumps them, of those fine
old fellows who used to have such good
times IN Florence o years ago, but whose
nam"s are not ovcr-ramiliar to the majority
of my fellow countrymcn."
OF course Fra LORADo sped himself to

answer the question on the basis of
what He did in the temple with His cat
tails. He would tell thepublisb-
ers to quit lying about each other with
malicious envy and be gentlemen in
their treatment of contemporaries, per-
haps suggesting the employment of
brains, business methods and truth
He would probably look over the ad
vertisements, if fortunately there were
any in the local papers, and if not, send
his order to city where people are
looking for trade, for He is an intense

The anti administrator organs seem
to feel very badly because Secretary
Hay did not at once proceed to twist
the British lions tail when Macrum' 8
letter through the associated press was
first made public. Secretary Hay has
made his reply to the house in response
to it's request for information, and it
seems that if Mr. Macrum's allegations
are correct, he made the very impor-
tant blunder of not filing any such in
formation with the department. No
action can very we'll be taken unless
the department has official knowledge
to back up it's demand What the ex.
consups reasons were for not inform
ing the department before making pub
lie the matter through other channels,
is hard to say. 1t is because of this that
he has been so severely criticised, or as
the opposition says, abused. But the
abuse seems to have been purely i'm
aginary on their part. There is NO
doubt but that the state department
will call England to time for any mis-
doings in that particular that may have
taken place.
