MI. wHTrAkER'S rHROW-DOVVN.
To the outsider or the average citi-
zen who knows nothing of the situa-
ton in the inner legislative circles the
defeat of Mr. Whitaker for President
+, of the Senate in the Republican caucus
was tremendous surprise-almost a
shock in its total unexpectedness. For
it will be recalled that the news from
Charleston has been full of the state
ment, which had attained the dignity
of foregone conclusion, that all Mr..
Whitaker had to do was accept the
Office and he would have it passed to
him on platter without contest SO
great was the "cinch" he was reported
TO have Indeed, although Mr.. What
aker, himself, had no desire for the
honor, being very busy man, and had
expressly intimated to his alleged
friends that he cared nothing for, it
and would rather not have il, yet so
- Nd ,s:ae4s- -.-'-i - arsased Upon him
that he was the man, if not the only
man Tor the situaticnl that he finally
yielded and became Receptive candi-
date.
After leading him into this trap, the
boss politicians who for at least two
years have had it in" for Mr.. Whit
aker because of his independence in
politics, and who feared him because
they knew they could not controls him.
accomplished their revenge and his
humiliation by utterly, disgracefully,
ANONYMOUSLY defeating him. Where
as he was led to believe the caucus
would be all but unanimous for him.
he received but three votes to his OPP
ponent's fifteen. 1t was a deliberate
to shelve him as no longer factor
worth considering, and well, indeed
did the trick work. But despite the
efforts of the politicians we think Mr.
Whitaker will still WELD a very con-
siderable influence among all classes
of citizens, both here and at Charles
ton whether Democrats or Republi-
cans.
This is the customary reward of
those in the Republican party as con-
stituted in this State, who dare to be
h0nest- or to think for themselves, and
pho place the interests of the people
|efore these of a~9olitical bosses.
is the usual, fate conservatism and
lkcency meets at the hands of the pres
ent leaders of the Republican party.

RAISING AN ALLEY ON JACKS.
Clever Mechanical Feat Recently
Performed at the Masonic
Temple in Chicago.

A short time ago, owing to natural
causes, the alley east of the Masonic
Temple building, nearly 200 feet in
length, sank 12 inches. The sinking
was gradual, but when it ended the
alley was resting upon the upper
parts of the boiler and furnace me-
chanisms OF the building which occu-
Ply the space underneath the alleys
area. Fortunately for the hundreds
OF teamsters and truckmen who use
the alley daily the sinking had been
even, without a crack or caving in.
The earth formation carried the as
phalt paving down with it as regu-
larly as if the sinking had been regu-
lated by man instead of nature, says
the Chicago Record-Herald.
The problem presented to Capt.
Williams, superintendent of the Ma
sonic Temple, was of either re-
moving the old alley and construct
ing new and artificial one or OF at
iempting to raise the old one back
10 its old level without cracking or
injuring IL. He decided on the latter
course. A series of Jacks were
worked under the sunken passage
way. They upheld a framework of
wood. which extended to all parts of
the alley. Workmen then began to
slowly screw up the jacks. This
screwing up process began at two
o'clock on a Sunday morning and
was finished at one o'clock that aft
ernoon. During that time wagons
loaded with coal and other teams
drove through the alley, not noticing
that anything extraordinary was 60
ing on.
The entire mass of asphalt and
earth was finally brought back to its
true level without cracking or dis
placement of any kind, and then
given such a new foundation that 1t
can never sink again. The expense
was over $1,000. 1t has been possible
for some time to raise brick house
and move it away without injury to
it's parts. Stone buildings and stores
have also been raised and moved, but
Capt. Williams believes that this II
the first time an alley has ever been
raised by jacks without interruption

the hurried handler will be enabled
to a. cnce detect the value of the coin
by his sense of feeling. Some such
safeguard was said to be necessary
fer the reason that it is very nearly
the size and weight of the present
fve-cent riol.el. The size of the hole
in TIE proposed new coin was TO be
OF ample magnitude to make it sim
ply ring of metal and to occupy
about one-half of the entire diameter.
The new coin, it was said, was to
do away with one of the great diff
culties which beset the handlers of
small silver coins when metal money
first came into use after the circula-
tion of paper collateral. The coins
which reached the hands of children
and some classes in the more remote
regions treated them as curiosities
and as prizes. To insure their safe
keeping it was a favorite method to
punch hole in them, and, passing a
string through the aperture, tie the
whole securely about the neck
This practice, of course, destroyed
the circulation value of the coins, and
dealers who subsequently took them
in were Obliged TO stand the loss. So
general became the practice that
fixed scale was finally arranged for
deduction for punched dimes, nickels
and other pieces. The new piece
could be strung without injuring it.

The fve-cent nickel piece has been

the civil war or just after that. Be-

them arose from the disappearance
