Broke Into An Executive Session.

Washington Post.
For the second time in the his
tory of the senate the sacred pre-
cincts of the executive session have
been invaded. If this sort of thing
continues, coupled with the full
reports OF secret debates, the sem
ators will grow discouraged and
closed doors will be a relic of the
barbarious past.
1t was Representative Dayton Of
West Virginia, who dashed boldly
into the holy Of holies. He had
been downstairs in the basement
of the capitol looking for Senator
Scott, of his state, and not finding
him, had hurried upstairs to search
in the senate chamber. He has
tened through the corridors and
swungthe glass doors of the private
lobby aside, without attractingthe
attention of the usually vigilant
doorkeeper. A few steps farther
and Dayton had passed through
the senate door and was within the
mysterious chamber. He looked
around for Senator Scott, not NOTICE
ing that the galleries were empty.
Presently he saw Senator Scott
in the presiding officers chair. Near
by was "Lonnie" Stewart, one of
the senate's officials, who is allow
ed to remain during the secret
sessions.
"Would it be improper for me to
go up to Senator Scott while he is
In the chair?"
"Stewart gave a gasp of surprise
and despair. Heavens abovel'
he exclaimed, Selling the astonish-
ed Dayton by the arm. "How did
you get in?"
al walked in" said Dayton.
"You had better walk out" said
Stewart, nervously, ''this is execu-
tive session.
Dayton started for the door in a
hurry. He left SO quickly that he
did not have time to notice how
senators amuse themselves when
nobody is looking on.

MISS MORRISON TO RE FREE.


Kansas City, Mo, Dec. ia
special from E~ldorado, Kas., says.
Judge Shinn agreed to admit
Jessie Morrison to bail in the sum
of 5000 pending her second trial
for the murder of Mrs. DIN Castle
Bondsmen have not yet been se-
cured but heprisoner's aged father
ex-Probate Judge Morrison ex-
presses hope that he will be able
to secure them within few days.
The case can not come up till
next spring, and II is believed that
another jury cannot be secured in
the county. Her release will prob
ably end the case.
Miss Morrison was in a very
happy mood when she entered
court with her father, and bounded
out of chair lightly after Judge
Shinn had announced his inten-
ton to accept bond.
1t is said that she will go to her
old home in West Virginia when
released.

Democratic Woe.

Ex-President Cleveland, in writ
ing on the "Plight of Democracy
and the Remedy says some very
profound things concerning the
Bryan free silver suckers. He says;
1.-THE elimination Of democratic
woe was reached when its compact
with these undemocr9tic forces
was complete, and when our rank
and file were summoned to do bat
tie under banners which bore
strange symbols and were held
aloft in unfamiliar hands. The
result of such a betrayal was fore
doomed; this contemptuous dis
obedience of democratic principles
and traditions were by a decree as
memorable as those of fate, followed
by the inevitable punishment OF
stunning, staggering defeat" Pres.
Cleveland is the only democrat that
the party has elected since the time
of Buchanan, and yet we seriously
doubt If his words of warning To
his party will carry as much
weight with the acknowledgement
list leaders who are now in the
saddle, as would the words and
suggestions of John Butler, Herr
Altgeld, Bridlebits Waite or w. J,
Bryan, who has tramped, foot
sore and weary, all the highways
and byways of renegade political
sin in the last five years.

A VOICE FRon PRISON.
Some Beautiful Verses Recently Writ
ter by Mrs. Florence Maybrick.

NtN ny NNtEs ttttt&t y N.
Mrs. Florence Maybrick, the
American wife of an English mer-
chant, was tried in England in 1889,
charged with numbering her hus-
band by poison. After sensa-
tional trial she was convicted and
sent to prison for life. Since then
many vigorous efforts have been
made to secure her pardon. The
main argument advanced by her
friends was that the presiding
Judge became insane shortly after
the trial and during its continuance
was thought to have shown evil
dencos of being unbalanced. Thus
far, however, both the Queen and
the Home Secretary have refused
to interfere in her behalf. During
the last year Mrs. Maybrick has
been.ill and most of the time was
spent in the prison infirmary.
