try home during his stay in the city,
has returned to his northern home.
Ellis Dunsmore, who has been in
Paris, California, during the winter,
arrived at his home in this city this
morning in the best of health, unless
a badly mashed thumb be excepted.
This is the result of an accident that
happened en- route. He was so I'M
fortunate as to get the member caught
in closing door while on the train.
The hurt, though extremely painful,
is in no way serious.
Tuesday evening marked the occa-
sion of the last dance that will prob
ably be given in Winters hall for a
good many days to come. On this
date Miss Maud Rose entertained
about fifty of her friends at a compli-
mentary dance. The old hall has been
the scene of many happy gatherings,
but no jollier crowd ever trod its floor
than was assembled on this occasion.
Frappe was served by Misses Bessie
Beatty and Pearl Rose. At late
hour the guests departed voting their
hostess a capital entertainer.
Des Moines Register: Congressman
John F. Lacey, of Iowa, visited Dele
gate d. T. Flynn at Guthrie, o. t.,
last week, where he was given re-
ception by the Commercial Club Fri
day night. He had taken a railroad
trip through the Kiowa and Comanche
country, and was well pleased with
all that he saw of it. He expressed
himself in favor of some plan of open
ing the reservation in such manner
that there will be no wild race by land
hunters on the day the lands are
thrown open for entry, but it is prob
able that it is now too late for any
other method to be adopted.
Manila Up. ~ Times, Feb. &c: The
secretaries of the Army and Navy
Department of the Young Mems
Christian Association in the Philip
pines are in conference this week
holding daily session at the building
at 2O5 Gale Real, Walled City. Mr..
E. w. Hearne, the General Secretary
for the Philippines, was chosen as
chairman of this conference. Coming
to the Island in 1898 as lieutenant
in the 51st Iowa volunteers, he has a
wide acquaintance with men in all
parts of the Islands and supervises
the shipment of large quantities OF
supplies and has general oversight of
the work.
Knoxville Journal: Mrs Ed Caffrey
who lives beyond Donley has been
dangerously i'll of late from surgical
operation, but is reported better. AS
an example of the faithfulness of a
friend her priest, Father o'Carroll of
Oskaloosa, was telephoned for after
10 O'Clock Saturday night. There was

no Rock Island train and the roads
were 80 fearfully bad that driving was
impossible. He caught north-bound
freight that took him to Grinnell then
got night passenger that took him
to Des Moines, and at o'clock in the
morning got 20" freight for three
hours ride to Donley. He thus made
a 156-mile ride to cover a distance of
25 miles, but Father O'Carroll is one
who gets there.
Captain O. Woodruff was made the
recipient of unexpected attentions
last evening at the hands of his COM
rades of Phil Kearney Post, G. A. R.
1t was the anniversary of the gentle.
mans birth and Mrs. Woodruff had
planned the surprise in a manner
that was entirely successful. The
home was invaded by comrades to
the number of about twenty-five and
a very pleasant evening resulted. TIE
captain was caught asleep at his post
as it were, and was taken entirely off
his guard. The comrades took him
and then proceeded to fire shots.
Judge Blanchard, John Martin and
others made talks, but Mr.. Woodruff
had little or nothing to say. Refresh
ments were served and all said upon
late departure that it had been good
to be there. The captain was of the
opinion that it was one of the happi-
est occasions that he has participated
in for several weeks.

to the star chamber for the purpose
of coming to some agreement as to
the election of the officers that fall to
the choice of the council. The gen.
tlemen worked with the subject for
more than an hour before they came

each election having been made
unanimous:
City Clerk-Chas. Leighton.
Street c ommissioner-Jno Corcoran
Sidewalk Commissio err. w.

and that she has saved money. By
noting where expenditure has been
in excess of receipt in the several
funds the overdrafts will be seen.

A sailing record of 1871 days, from
Liverpool to the Delaware Capes, was
lately made by the four .inaste1 bark
Kenilworth. The best previous record
was made by the ship A. J. Ropes,
which made the run from Liverpool to
New York in 10 days, three years ago.
The KenilwOrth travelled 100 miles
more than the A. J. Ropes. Both OF
these ships are American, though the
Kenilworth was Scotch built, was
burned. and rebuilt in this country. The
same ship made the run from San
Francisco to New York In 1913 days
and from Valparaiso to New York in
65 days. She left San Francisco N

THURSDAY. MAY ,, 1901.

The bill providing for an addi-
tional law Judge in Northumberland
county has passed the House finally,
and as it has no other merit than
to create a useless Office, it nay be
expected to pass the Senate. The
criminal extravaganza involved in
this increase of judgeships is well
illustrated in this case. Northum-
berland now has one judge and he
is fully competent to attend to all
the business of the court. Last
year the court sat but siXty-hve
days, a little more than five days in
each month. To pretend that an
other Judge is needed under such
circumstances is to pretend what is
false. The only reason for creating
these offices is to find places for Ia
vorites, and in nearly every instance
the man who is to oe appointed
Judge is known before the bill is
presented. There has been an I'M
usual scandal of this sort of thing
at the present session of the Legis-
lature, to the cost Of the people -

The President and the 0ubans.

The President has started on
his Journey over the continent, leav-
ing the Cuban commissioners much
impressed by the splendor of Wash
ington, if not by the richness of the
gold brick which has been rendered
to them as q souvenir. They will
talk it over a little more with Mr..
Root before returning to Cuba, but
they are expecting nothing now but
some additional promises, The
question among them is whether il
is worth while to take the gold brick
home with them.
They seem to have abandoned the
hope OF independence, on the Presi.
dents assurance that his hands
are tied, and % have gone in for
commercial privileges instead. With
respect to these, the President IS go
ing to recommend liberal conces-
sions, very much as he recommend
ed "our plain duty" to Porto Rico.
The Porto Ricans can give the Cub
ans some points on the value of such
promises.
The impression made by these
Cuban commissioners is that OF
earnest and intelligent men who are
sincerely seeking what is best for
their country, or the best that can
be secured for it, and whose recon-
nendations to their countrymen are
likely to be made with good judg-
meut. If they recommend acquies-
cence in the demands OF the United
States, it will be because they are
convinced of the wisdom Of such q
course, not Of its abstract justice,
The Cubans have behaved through
out with discretion and dignity, and
the present difficult situation in no
way reflects upon them. If it shall
work itself out to satisfactory results
the credit will be due the Cubaus
themselves and not to those who
have assumed the right to patronize
them.
These difficulties ought not &c
have arisen. Ii the Cubans had
been encouraged and helped to es-
tablish their own government, and
their title to independence had been
cordially acknowledged, they would
hove been the first to ask such pro-
lection as it may be proper for the
United States 10 extend and the ma
tural course of events would have
brought Cnba eventually into the
Union. As it is, we have establish
ed very complicated and underlined
relations with the island that will
be q source Of constant perpleXity
and trouble, and at the same time
have lost the confidence and good
will Of the inhabitants, who cannot
see that our intervention has brought
to them either liberty or prosperity
In the speeches he may be expected
70 make upon his tour, Mr.. Nc
Kinley will do we'll to avoid refer,
ence to his achievements in nCuba. -

servility to corporations or anything
else, tails to go for a constitutional
convention, or an immediate ballot
reform, will be beaten next year,
whether it be Democratic or Repub-
lican.
I'VE have had this demonstrated
time and again. In 1890 Governor
Pattison ran on the distinct issue of
a constitutional convention, and in
his inaugural address he demon
strated to this Legislature, and to
the people of the State, that there
never could be ballot reform without
constitutional amendment or except
by a constitutional convention.
Then, when the corporations put
their clampers on him, just calmly
walked over all his pledges to the
laboring people who put him in
power on that issue.
IMPOSSIBLE TO AGREE
on NEW LEGISLATION
Now let us see who vii! do the
right thing. You have all these
bills here. You can pass any one
OF them. But none of them will be
passed and you all know it. 1t is
impossible to agree upon this ques-
ton. You have got to do just one
thing. And you all understand
that.
"a gentleman of my acquaint-
ance, is very eminent, and to my
thinking rather a good man, who
seems to have very great deal OF
/, power with the majority Of you
gentlemen-his name is Matthew
Stanley Quay-has made deliver
ance upon this subject so circum-
stantlal, so exact, so careful, prov
ing that there is but one way to re-
form, that think the Republican
candidate for Governor and Repub-
lican candidates for the Legislature
in 1902 are going to have a hard
road to travel, as quietly as you put
It, on this direct line.
Gentlemen, I commend to YOU
ballot reform, republican form OF
Government, free elections. Let lis
have them and let Us bow to the will
OF the people so honestly, legally
expressed. "
There was considerable comment
upon eX-Lieutenaut Governor
Blacks speech during the day. He
favors a constitutional convention,
so does Senator Quay, and it is said
/ Governor Stone also. 1t may be
that compromise on a constitu-
tional convention may come about.
Mr.. Black, it is understood, has
asked Mr.. Ikeler to present the
old Buckalew constitutional con-
vention bill.
