There is much adverse criticism
heard in the hotel corridors over the
manner the majority in the upper
house selected the subordinate Off
GERS, and they claim the method is
without a precedent in legislative
bodies, and was unfair to scores Of
good party workers who had come long
distances and could not have their
names submitted to a vote OF the coun-
rillors. In contrast TO this action OF the
council caucus, they refer to the Re
publican caucus OF the lower house,
where all applicants for positions We're
allowed TO submit their names and
claims 20 a ballot It is much 70 be
regretted that any dissatisfaction ex-
lists. and The Lender hopes that II will
soon blow over and all will be serene
again.

BILL.
The bill introduced in the council by
Senator Harrison for the regulation of
the sale Of intoxicating liquors EN-
bodies some radical and important
changes from the present law
Section two provides that any appli-
cation for saloon license shall be ac-
companied by not less than nfteen
male resident tax payers Of the ward,
if in city in which the business is to
be carried on, setting forth that the
applicant is a proper person. and IS a
resident of the territory. If in an un-
organized town or village, the appli
cation shall be made in the same man
ner, and II the business is to be To-
Gated outside Of city town or village
of more than fifty inhabitants, the pc
tit'cE shall be accompanied by ma
iority OF the male resident tax payers
whose names appear upon the AJAX rolls
in such municipal township the year
preceding the filing of the petition.
Z
Section three provides for the terri
tcrial license for which is $4,000, fl
ing Of the Indemnity bond etc.
Section four requires protests
against issuing a license for any cause
ia be signed by not less than fifteen Of
the male resident tax payers of the
ward, II in a city, or if in an morgan
lied town or village having fifty or
more inhabitants. before such protest
ants can be granted a hearing. Il also
provides that such protestants shall
file a bond with the county clerk at the
time Of filing the protest, TO be approx
ed 10y him, to pay all costs Of such
suit and all damages that may accrue
to the applicant by reason of such
protest
This differs from the present law In
that one signer to a protest against
issuing license is all that is requir
ed to bring the case before the com
missioners.
This provision in the heN bill ap
parently Is a good one, as It will pre-
vent spite work. So leag as the Law

Of the average citizen of tropical lands
to transfer his residence to even so
mild a climate as that which the south
ern part OF the United States offers.
The further fact that during the year
1900 the total number OF immigrants
coming from the Hawaiian and philip
pine islands into the United States was
less than 250. indicates still further the
unpopuladty of climate such as our

The message Of Governor Barnes to
the Sixth legislative assembly, which
was given in full in The Leader yes
terday afternoon, is a very fair state
paper. having the natural tendency
with all Republicans to attribute the
prosperous conditions of the country
u the Republican administration and
the supremacy of the Republican par.
ty. This, however, can be pardoned
when the excellency OF other portions
OF the message are taken into con
sideration.
On the subject Of statehood the gov
eiuor pledges himself to cordially co
operate with whatever action the legi5-
lature shall adopt looking to that end
and recommends that a Joint memorial
to congress be prepared setting forth
the wishes of the people upon the sub
icct
In view of the parsimonious salary
and the enormous bond required from
/ the territorial treasurer, the governor
recommends that the legislature make
an appropriation to reimburse him for
the premium paid to the United States
Fidelity and Guarantee company to Sc
cure the safety OF the public funds,
and that the treasurer be supplied with
more suitable office, fire and burglar
proof safes and vault and clerical as
sistance, or an authorized system Of
deposits in Banks.
The public institutions throughout
the territory appear to be in most en-
couraglng and prosperous condition
He urges very strongly upon the 1T
tcation Of the legislative body the
crude. indefinite and unsatisfactory
provisions Of the law relating 10 the
settlement by collectors with the ter
rtorlal officers for territorial taxes
and asks that they win be remeiiet
by suitable legislation.
On the subject of the penitentiap
the message is hardly as full in De
tails OF expense as the subject war
ranted, and merely refers TO the re
ports of the auditor and the warden
the latter showing 22S convicts from
Oklahoma IN confinement on December
1. 1900
The attention of the legislature Il
warmly invited to the ambiguity an'
unsatisfactory election law and urge
that the whole existing bunglesom'
and indefinite machinery be revise,
and suppanted by the enactment OF
new code clear and definite in its pro
visions. Also that new apportion
! ment Of the Representative and Coun
ell districts be made.
Taken altogether the message vii

most careful consideration Of the pub

which the judge thereof assumes full
jurisdiction, setsa day for hearing the
cause and determines the result.
These sections take away all jurisdic-
tion over these cases from the county
commissioners. as now provided by the
present law, and as the county com
missioners are restricted by law to
sit at intervals only a few days the
conferring Of jurisdiction in these
cases upon a court open at all times
would seem to be in the interest of
public policy.
These sections together with sec
tion four embrace the more important
features of the Harrison bill.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inaamed condition of the mucous lin

this tube gets lnnamed you have a
rumbllng sound or imperfect hearing.
and when it Is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube reetored to It's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;

A Sarcastic Lawyer.

The late Henry w. Payne, Of the
Massachusetts, bar, was once defend
ing charity case, in which boy of Is
was charged with arson. He made a
strong case to prove the defendant an
idiot After charge from the judge,
which was practically an order for ac-
quittal, the jury brought in verdict OF
guilty. The Judge asked Payne II he
would move for new trial. Il thank
you for your suggestion" was the an
swer, ''but I am oppressed with the
grayest doubts whether have the
right to move for new trial. Your
honor, I have already asked for. and
received for my idiot client the most
precious heritage Of our English and
American common lava trial by q
jury Of his peers
Payne had an old quarrel with the
Supreme Court, and never lost an op-
portunity of showing his contempt for
that body. Once, riding from Boston
to Cambridge with load of law books,
he was accosted by young Harvard
man with the remark: you have

THE "susiNEss DOCTOR.

EMpIoyed by the Large Department.
Stores In New York.
A unique calling has developed itself
in this city. 1t may be called that of
the business doctor. The business doe
tor Is a man who goes to business
houses and is allowed to examine thor
oughly the whole working of the ina
chine. He finds out, for example, how
the letters are opened and distributed.
how orders are executed, how many
people are employed, what is the exact
nature OF the work they do. what are
the wages they are receiving, and so
on. In the case Of large concern he
may need week to get full posses
sion Of the facts, and he charges at
least $50 day for his work. When he
has completed his Investigations he
draws up a report, and adds to 1t a
number Of practical suggestions. His
object is to prevent waste, and espe-
cially to check the constant tendency
In working expenses to rise year by
year without any compensating advan-
tages. One of the largest department
stores in the city employed the services
of doctor recently. He found that
the partners came down about 10 and
opened the letters together. As their
correspondence was enormous, the
opening of the letters necessitated a
waste of much valuable time. He
therefore advised that a woman who
was to be paid a salary Of 81 900 a wear
should be engaged to open the letters
before the partners arrived, and sort
them, allotting each partner his own
letters, so that when he came down to
business he might deal with them i'm
mediately. This recommendation was
adopted, and has been found to save a
great deal Of precious time, as was in
tended. He also advised the rearrange-
ment Of the duties of the assistants.
Some were receiving too much, others
to little.-New York Evening Post

Had Fun with the Parson.

A clerical friend of mine told me
capital story of Yale man who was
the stroke oar Of his crew and the chief
athlete on the football field.
He entered the ministry and spent
years in missionary labor in the Far
West. Walking one day through
frontier town, cowboy stepped up to
him and said:
''Parson, you don't have enough fun.
Take a drink?'
The minister declined.
WELL" he said, "parson, you must
have some fun. Here's faro layout
Take hand in the game
The minister declined.
"Parson," said the cowboy, "you'n
die If you don't have some fun
And he knocked the parsons hat off
his head and hit him whack on the
ear.
The old athletic spirit rose; the
/, science which had been learned in the
college gymnasium and forgotten for a
quarter of century was aroused, a
blow landed on the jaw of that cow
boy that sent him sprawling in the
street.
The parson walked over him as If he
had been a door rug, picked him up and
busted the side of the house with him
and then mopped UP the sidewalk with
his form.
AS the ambulance was carrying the
cowboy off he raised his head feebly
and said:
s'Parson, what did you fool me for?
You are chock full Of fur" New York

COOPERATIVE WORDS" IN Law.


What They Mean in Legal and Busi-
ness Transactions.
Operative words" said member Of
the District bar, "are Of the utmost i'm
portance In legal documents and in
business affairs.
Probably the most seriously import
ant operative word In human affairs is
composed of but three letters, and it
appears in print thus: Yes When
she says yes to a man 1t means that
she transfers her heart and hand, and
formerly all Of her property, to him
who asks her to be, etc. This little
word establishes the most important
contract of society. and. while this con-
tract may afterward be dissolved by
mutual consent, If one of the contract
ing parties demurs and backs out a suit
for damages Is open to the other.
In auction sales the property put up
is anybody's until the auctioneer says
gone or sold and the hammer drops.
No matter how the sale is regretted, or
how much the parties would like to re-
tract 1t, it stands and the court will
sustain it.
SIN a will they are give, devise and
beQueath.' Real property is devised
and personal property 'bequeathed.'
"In a note the borrower must prom
ise' to pay, and In q bond he must
bind himself.
SIN some States in a deed certain
words are necessary to convey real es-
tate. The courts have held generally,
however, that the word grant will car
~ good title. In New York, for in
stance, the operative words constitute
quite a formula, and are grant bar
gain, sell, assign, transfer, set over and
convey That's the old form. Now
the words grant and release are suffi-
cient.
.'In lease the word let must be
used. They have an odd formula in
New York, used for centuries, proba-
bly,, consisting of grant demise and
to farm let,' and it applies to. all kinds
Of property. In quitclaim deed the
word 'quitclaim' must be used
