Joe Cam is husklng corn this week to
pay up on his election bets on Bryan
carrying Nebraska by 5000. He is to
husk corn for six days at three cents a
bushel, and furnish his own team. The
first day he got about As bushels and
two or three sprained fingers, but under
the bet he is forced to husk his full six
days, nor is he allowed to hire any one to
do it for him. 1t is to be hoped that
Joe will either stop betting or bet right

Pattison Is wiIIing.-T

Pattison Is WiIIinE.-The expressed
willingness on the part of former Gov
ernor Pattison. Of Pennsylvania to accept
the second place on the ticket with Mr..
Bryan has had a. reassuring effect upon
the minds Of various Democratic leaders
in Congress. who were beginning to mani
fest an uneasy feeling over the source and
meaning Of numerous stories recently put
in circulation TO the effect that the OppO-
sition to the Nebraskan were preparing
dangerous coup. Governor PattisOn is now
in Chicago attending a national conference
Of the Methodist Church, and gave out his
statement after reaching Chicago Tuesday
from Washington. When he was here
Monday he refused TO discuss politics for
publication and a number of conflicting
reports regarding his attitude were spread
broadcast over the country One set Of
these reports represented him as stub
bornly opposed TO Bryan, while another
set limited vaguely at some dark plot he
was in to gain the confidence OF the Bryan
managers and then betray them to the
enemy. II seems however, that every
thing written about the Pennsylvania
while he was in Washington was the
merest guesswork. Apparently ne is
completely recOnciled to Mr. Bryan's lead
ership, and is anxious to resume full mem
bership in the party. Governor Pattison
did not work OF vote against the Nebras-
kan four years ago. as did the great bulk
Of Democrats who we're and still are op-
posed to bimetallism. While he openly
declared himself hostile to the 16 to
business he stuck to the party. even il
he did sulk for a considerable time after
the Chicago Convention. Now that ne has
intmated a desire TO get on the ticket
with Mr.. Bryan. the stiff feeling of oppO-
sition to rewardng with the party hon
ors anybody who differed with the Ne
braskan four years ago, which has been so
pronounced among Western and Southern
Democratic members OF Congress. seems to
have been considerably modified. 1t is
thought to be within the pale Of possibil-
ties to nominate Governor Pattison for
Vice President at Kansas City in July.
II is believed his nomination would be gen
orally considered as an invitation to all OF
the boilers to return to the party fold.

REPORT ON RAILROADS.

to a Congregational Enquiry.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
has forwarded to the Senate a reply to
the resolution asking for information as
to the number Of complaints Of every sort
and description which has been made to It
against railroad companies each year DUR
ing the last three years the number OF
such complaints which have been dis
posed Of informally by the Commission
without any formal hearing or determi-
nation each year during the last three
years, and the number Of such complaints
which have come to a formal hearing and
determination by the Commission each
year during the last three years; the to-
tai number OF cases heard and determined
by the Commission during the last ten
years. the number Of cases which have
been appealed to the courts. the number OF
such cases in which the decisions Of the
Commission have been sustained. the
number Of such cases in which the de-
cisiOns OF the Commission have been re-
versed, and the number OF such eases
which have net been adjudicated.
The report states that 50 COM
plants were filed; the Commission moved
to investigate II Of these on hear

made defendants IN the cases. 90 cases
were heard 80 cases were decided; 1.014

hibits. exceeds $500 pages. The decis-
ions Of the Commission during the sans
period aggregate LIS printed pages.
The correspondence averages Upward OF
1000 letters received each year. and con-
siderably greater number written. To ar
rive at the number Of complaints OF the
class now referred to. which have come TO
the Commission in the three years prior
to ADriI I6. 1900 would require the exami-
nation Of more than 20. 900 letters receiv-
ed which have had attention as they came

In explanation OF the very small num-
her of cases in which the orders Of the
Commission have been finally sustained
ana enforced BY the courts il should be
said that this is not because the courts
have disagreed with the Commission as
to the facts shown by the evidence. but
mainly il not wholly because the Supreme
Court has held that the Commission Crro-
neously interpreted the law as respects its
own authority to make orders based upon
the facts ascertained-

acnndidnte for retirement.

Among the many Representatives in the
present Congress who may be expected to
present themselves to grateful constitu-
encies for endorsement and denomination
there is one who should certainly be kept
at home and never again permitted TO
misrepresent the patriotic people of
splendid American city. We refer to Mr.
Theodore E. Burton. the sitting member
from the Twenty-frst Ohio district, whose
bounds comprise twenty-seven wards Of
the city Of Cleveland Mr.. Hanna, it may
be remembered. comes from the same
town. and Burton is a product Of Hanna
If the people of Cleveland have any red
American blood -coursing through their
veins it will burn over the record made
by this man. in first fighting to delay and
then directly opposing the American Mica
ragua Canal bill. That he has done so at
the behest Of the Administration may ex-
cuse his course to himself. but hardly to
his constituents. They. indeed, viii be
unlikely TO accept explanations from
person whose actions have been openly
and without shame in the interest Of a
combination determined at any cost TO
prevent the construction OF a national
ishthmian canal. He may show. as he
easily can. that the Administration has
been bitterly antsgonistie to any canal leg
fslation at the present session, in order 10
secure the campaign contributions Of the
combination opposed to it, He may dem
onstrate the underlying intention Of Mr..
Mckinley and his associates to use the
canal question in Congress next winter
as a means Of giving life to the alleged
Clayton Bulwer treaty, Of Anglicizing the
canal when built. and Of surrendering the
Monroe Doctrine: but none OF these con-
sIderations ought to palliate his offence.
From FIRST to last he has exploited himself
prominently and extensively in antagonism
to a universal demand OF the American
people and as q willing spokesman OF the
monopolies who have procured the Ad-
ministration TO resist that demand.
Political conditions in Cleveland en-
courage the hope that its intelligent and
patriotic inhabitants will be able next
November to give Mr.. Burton the rebuke
he deserves

Add to this the Bryanites Of the North

The Evening Post probably uses the
expression Bryanites in an opprobrious

THE REGISTER OF WILLS.
Hearing ON "a Proposition to Abolish
the ONCE.


A. J. WorthIngton and r. Ross Perry
appeared before the House District Com
mittee yesterday to oppose the committee
amendment to strike from the Distric;
CODE now on its passage that section pro-
yiding for the abolition of the Office Of the
Register of Wills. Mr. Worthington re-
viewed the history of the office and COM
planned of the needlessness Of the Office OF
the Register of Wills independent OF the
Probate Court. He said the bench and bar
of the District unanimously approved the
proposition to abolish the Office OF the Reg
lister of Wills. He called attention to
a pamphlet giving reasons why the office
should not be done away with. He said this
pamphlet. marked confidential was an in
suit TO the bar and bench. II had been Sc
cretly circulated.
Mr.. Perry reviewed at some length the
history Of the probate court in Maryland.
Mr.. Jenkins explained the reason which
induced him to support the committee
amendment He had understood that the
code would go through the House without
opposition, if the question of the creation
of new offices or the adjustment Of old
ones were avoided. NJ. Jenkins quoted
conversation which he had with a clerk
to a Senate committee in which the clerk
had said he thought the code could not
go through the Senate, at least this ses-
sion.
Mr.. Babcock explained that there were
men in the House who believed that the
creation or adjustment of Offices was no
part of a code. 1t would require two or
three legislative days to read the code. and
this would require practically unanimous
consent. Any member Of the House could
defeat the passage Of the code al his
session.
Mr. Sims wanted to know if there was
any member of the House who would de-
feat the code rather than have the present
Register Of Wills legislated out of Office
The committee then adjourned.

The Mentality of Animals.

Mr. Ernest Seton Thompson has a most
interesting article in the May Century"
on the Geological Park in Washington
Mr.. Thompson has the advantage, in talk
ing OF wild animals. OF having regarded
them as friends rather than as prey; and
it may be said on general principles that
one can learn more OF any creature, BIZ
pedal or quadrupedai. by making friends
with it than by chasing it about with a
gun.
In this article Mr.. Thompson points out
a fact which seems SO obvious that one
wonders why it has not received attention
before He says that wild animals in
cages are liable to mental as well as physl-
cal disease. due 10 important changes in
their habits. and that It is quite as i'm
portant to give them something to think
about as to feed them well. He cites the

A CIV From the PhiIinnIne.

editorial:

SOLDIERS TO LEAVE CUBA.
General wood Does Not Deem the
Present Force Necessary.

Present Force Necessary.
Arrangements are being made at the
War Department for the withdrawal Of a
large part OF the military force now in
Cuba after the municipal elections. to be
held June IS General Wood has advised
the War Department that he does not be-
lieve the presence Of large body Of troops
necessary after the municipal governments
have been established and favors the send
ing home Of large part Of the army.
None OF the troops will return before the
elections. however On the contrary. an
additional 200 men have been detailed from
various Army posts in this country for
temporary duty in Santiago, where there
are indications that serious trouble may
arise during the elections Already there
is a large garrison there. but re-enforce-
ments are believed to be necessary. and
the companies there now viii be filled to
their full numerical strength. The War
Department officials hope, by a display OF
force to avert disorder. While indications
Of trouble are apparent now it is believed
that ill-feeling among the political factions
will die away after their fight has been
made at the polls.
There are about $500 soldiers in Cuba
now and the number to be brought home
will depend on how the Cubans conduct
themselves while exercising their first
elective privileges. According to the War
Department officials. from the present cut
look. more than half of them will be
withdrawn.
The troops will be placed in camp in one
Of the Southern States on their return to
this country. and will be sent from there
to the various Army posts as soon as ar
rangements for transportation can be
made
