SENATOR ELsBERG ON PARTY MEASURES
DRAWS A DISTINCTION BETWEEN POLITICAL
AND NoN-PoLIT1CAL BILLS
DRAWS A

Senator Nathaniel A. Elsberg spoke to the
bers OF the Central Republican Club of the XXXIst
Assembly District last night. in the OF the
club at No. 1o1 West One-hundred- -and-twenty-
seventh-st. 1.-THE Work OF the Legislature and
Experiences of Legislative Life" Mr.. Elsberg said
that the Legislature represented the average sense
the average virtue and the average intelligence of
the community.
Mr.. Elsberg objected to calling members Of leg
islatures "slavish dummies" because they occa-
sionally voted in favor Of party measures for
party's sake. He said that 1t was not asking too
much to demand that man sustain and advocate
the intelligent opinion of the majority OF his party,
If that opinion arrived at In a caucus and
10 be upheld as a matter OF party expediency To
make his point clearer, Mr.. Elsberg drew a dis
tnction between political and non-poitcal bills. Po-
ntical bills never involve fundamental subjects.
They are not bills which legislator votes by
rule Of conscience; but, the other hand. they
merely bills in which votes controlled by the
question Of what had already been called party
expedency.'
Speaking of the State constabulary, Mr.. Elsberg
said:
The police power OF the State ought to be
cised by the State. The State did originally exer-
else this power. although 1t surrendered the peace
preserving element 10 localities 1t is wel however,
to remember the service of that element

AN ENGLISH ApM1RER OF The TRIBUNE

AN ENGLISH ADMRER OF The TRIBUNE.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: fear I guilty Of taking liberty. but
as an Englishman who is spending his second
winter In the United States I cannot refrain from
asking leave to express the pleasure obtain from
a daily reading of The Tribune II is not merely
that your editorials are, rule, not unfavorable
to England although that in itself is naturally
agreeable to OF ner sons. especially during the
last year when Misrepresentation to the real
grounds of her quarrel in South Africa is so widely
spread elsewhere But the qualities that stamp all
your leaders-kindly allow to say it-seem to me
to be singular moderation, insight and Judgment
and those qualities sufficiently rare in the
journalism of any country to stamp your paper
with distinction
The closing sentence OF the leader headed 60
ing Back to Quebec" in to-day's issue, gives Pc
culiar qualification to Englishman. for II ap-
pears to be exact statement Of the truth OF the
matter as to the French Canadians and Great
Britain
If a guest Of your wonderful city may be al
lowed to speak further he would add that your
treatment of questions which are purely American
strikes him being equally remarkable for Its
sane and judicial character.

A GOOD
Quarterly Conference Shows the Nei-
hart Methodist Episcopal Church
in Excellent Condition.

Supt. Van Orsdel held quarterly
conference in NJ. +. church last Sat
urday and on Sunday preached
morning and evening. Communion
service was held at the close of the
morning service. Reports of the
spiritual and financial condition of
this church show it to be in better
standing than ever before in its his
tory. 1t will be understood that at
the time of the crash in 1893 the
church carried IL debt of S1,100.
Today the report shows only a bal
ance due of S505, all of which is
we'll cared for. The church people
hope to clear up the most of this,
and also to repair, paper and repaint
the edifce before the first of next
August.
The annual Methodist conference
for North Montana will be held in
the following August, when Nei.
hart will be called upon to receive
and entertain about twenty-five
preachers from the various charges
The conference will last about
week, and during its sessions the
Neihart church will be dedicated
with appropriate ceremony. The
burden Of debt has prevented the
formal dedication ere this, but there
remains no doubt that all defcienc,
will be made up in due time. Anc
the people of Neihart will cheerful,
do their duty in the proper enter
tainment of the visitors.
