Judge Baker has drafted bill to
amend the criminal code of Nebraska
relating to bribery, suggested by the
Intellectual attempts to prosecute cor
rupt public officials because of technical
defects in the law. Only a few months
ago member of the Omaha school
board, against whom the evidence Of
bribery was conclusive to every un-
biased mind, went unpunished because
the transaction upon which the charge
was based was begun in Chicago, al
though executed in this state. The pro-
posed amendment to the act makes the
charge of bribery apply to all public
offices, whether elective. appointive, ad-
ministrative or judicial, and makes it
equally an offense whether part or all
of the corrupt transaction is committed
within the jurisdiction of Nebraska
courts. This bill ought to be passed by
the legislature, If only for the good eff
feet it will have as a deterrent upon fu-
ture betrayals of public trust.

"The senator from Kansas" When Vice
President Roosevelt from the presiding Of
fcer's seat, makes this recognition OF Mr..
Burton, his memory will go back to
scene which was the turning point at Phila-
delphia last summer, says a correspondent
of the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Roosevelt was protesting against his
nomination on the national ticket. He had
almost persuaded the majority OF the dele
gates to respect his wishes. One day there
filed into his parlor forty stalwart men,
alert and determined looking. A velvet
sunhower was conspicuously pinned on the
coat lapel of each of them. The leader,
tall, black haired, dramatic of manner, pro-
ceeded to say that, with all due respect
to the personal feelings OF the governor OF
New York, the Kansas delegation had de-
cided the interests of the republican party
in their state and in the nation at large
would be best subserved by his nomination
to the second place. And" concluded the
spokesman, impressively. I'VE have just
resolved unanimously that the vote Of our
delegation will be cast for you" The looks
of the delegation bore out the words Of the
head of il, and conveyed the idea that moth
ing remained to be said. Governor Roose-
Welt realized what kind of stuff he was
dealing with He had been voluble and
earnest with other callers. He looked
along the line of n-kissed-Kansas sun
kissed-countenances and threw up his
hands To others subsequently he repeated
his objections, but there was no force In
his opposition after the Kansans had
spoken And the spokesman will be "Sena-
tor" Burton when Vice President Roosevelt

A committee Of twenty-five or thirty rep
resentative men in official and private life
will go to Philadelphia this month ana
count, weigh and assay considerable
amount of money, says correspondent OF
the Brooklyn Eagle. Every year such
COMMITTEES is appointed by the president TO
visit the Philadelphia mint for the purpose
OF seeing that the various coins that are
issued each year are full weight and con-
tain the proper amount of gold, silver and
alloy. The law requires the officers at
the various mints TO reserve specimens
of coins OF each denomination issued which
are to be forwarded to Philadelphia for eX-
animation. Last year the committee ex-
amined more than forty thousand pieces Of
money In this manner, having total value
OF SIPS 600 The records of the department
show that cases have been found where
certain mint had issued large number
of coins under the required weight, Dis
missals have invariably followed such dis
! coveries.

In the senate, the other day, relates the
Washington Post. Mr.. Mason Of Illinois
asked unanimous consent for the passage
OF an ancient bill paying money to Flora
Adams Darling for money and jewelry taken
from her by federal troops during the war.
"Ah," exclaimed Senator Spooner who
used to be chairman of the committee on
claims, as he heard the clerk read the pro-
posed law that bill is an old acquaintance
of mine"
you certainly would not be guilty Of
turning your back upon an old acQuaint-
ance?" Senator Mason instantly remarked,
in an appealing tone.
The quick retort ought TO have passed the
bill, but 1t didn't.

Every one who listened to Mr.. Towne's
speech on the Philippine situation is now
asking where he acquired his knowledge Of
the Tagal and the Spanish languages, says
the Washington Times. No name, OF all
the strange ones that have come to be
familiar since our war in the Islands,
seemed to present any difficulties TO him,
and, moreover. many that custom, and per
haps ignorance, have ordained to be pro-
nounced one way, were given quite a new
turn OF infection, accent and quantity by
him. At times 1t seemed that he was talk
ing OF battlefelds quite new, so oddly did
he pronounce the names Paranaque, Pasig,
Iloilo and many others. Especially notice
able, however was his version of Manila.
He went straight to the Spanish for II,
putting stress upon the middle syllable and
lengthening it until the word took the form
of Mane-e-la. Aguinaldo's chief secretary s
name was pronounced in true Spanish style,
as though 1t had been spelled Agonthillio
instead Of Agoncillo.

A man who was leaving the gallery after
Senator Depew's speech on the ship subsidy
bill was heard to remark: There wasn't
nothn' in il. I've listened for an hour and
there wasn't nothin' in 1t at all. Talk bout
his bein' an orator! Amt nothin to it.
This was frank and crude expression
Of the general feeling in the galleries, re-
ports the Chicago Journal correspondent.
Many Of the listeners, of course. were fash
ionable women who had read OF Chauncey's
fame or had met him in a social way, and
they were not so outspoken in their com
ment But they felt disappointed. Depew
read from manuscript and a lot of 1t was
figures-very dull figures about tonnage and
knots and per cents. Then there was lot
of history and quotations from law books.
All Of which was intensely stupid No Jokes,
no scintillations OF wit. no exordium, or
climax or rhetorical figure, or happy illusion
or appropriate story There was nothing OF
what had made Depew famous, and they
naturally left aggrieved and cheated.
All of which shows that a reputation as
an after-dnner speaker is something OF
handicap to man trying to make cogent,
coloress, logical arguments in favor OF
dull. prosaic proposition OF political eco
nomics

RUSsEL's RECORD.

The Hilo Tribune says: 1T would
perhaps have been well if Senator Rus
sci had put in a few weeks at memoir
izing certain important rules in Cush-
ing's Manual, on the chance that his
Independent confreres would elect him
to the presidency of the Senate. a
thorough acquaintance with parlia-
mentary practice is always requisite
in such place, and 1t is especially so
when the members of the Legislative
body are themselves untrammeled by
any rational ideas upon the subject, as
are the majority of the Territorial
Senate this session. In the ordinary
public meeting, which so far as knowi-
edge goes is about on a par with the
Territorial Senate, everyone knows
how much depends upon the presiding
officer in the way of accomplishing
anything, and it is safe to say that if
President Russell spends his nights
with the manual he viii find that the
results of his day work will show a
big dividend on the investment

San Francisco, May 22.--The president
and Secretary Of State Hay have been In
constant communication with Washington
during all their journey through the West.
Dispatches from foreign embassies have
been continually arriving and the Chinese
situation has received special attention,
The president has been anxious lest the
difficulties thrown in the way Of an ar
rangement by the demands of some OF the
powers might lend TO indefinite delay and
consequent increase Of the Indemnity to be
exacted. The points to be settled are,
first the total amount Of the Indemnity
and the share OF each power; second, the
method of payment. In regard to the hrst
point the president has constantly en-
deavored to moderate the demands of the
powers to an amount which China might
pay without financial ruin or territorial

ers would make II proporttonnte fcduct'on:

As to the method of payment II Is un'
derstood that there are various proposi
lions before the conference OF ministers IN
Pekln. One Is loan to be contracted by
China, guaranteed by the powers which II
is thought might be hoated at 4 per cent
with n commission of or per cent. An
other Is loan not guaranteed, which
would probably require an, enormous com
mission at a heavy rate Of interest some
Z per cent Neither Of these propos't,iron'
were acceptable TO the president. Two
weeks ago he proposed that each OF tn,
powers should accept for its share me
at 3 per cent, provision for meeting tn
