THE POINT OF THE. JOKE.

THE POINT OF THE JOKE.
The excellence of a joke is not detract-

fuse OF those who hear it accept. it seri-

in the senate suggesting that the speeches
Geli1 cred in executive session should be
reported by the official stenographers. in
order to assure greater fullness and ac-
curacy may be taken as joke or they
may be taken seriously, according to the
temperament of the individual; but if
they are designed as a joke there can be

The very extensive report of the pro-

senate while the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
was under consideration which was pub

might be considered in the language Of
Senator Clapp's resolution, as mot as full
and accurate enough for all practical pur-
poses. Tie fact that it was a report of
proceedings which were supposed to be
held in secret did not seem to enter into
the consideration of anyone who had
anything to do with them until Senator
Clapp offered his resolutions The only
thought whicn seemed to prevail was
that the reading public desired to. know
what was said, and its desire was COM
Piled with
The Clio finds little fault with the
reports now emanating from the execu-
tive sessions of the senate, save that they
tend by their completeness to cause the
public to pay less attention to the need,
dictated by every consideration of COM
mon intelligence, that such debates shall
be held in open session. Of course the
American public does not care button
where or how the speeches are delivered
so long as their purport is made known.
This viii no doubt tend to continue the
stupid practice of the senate, evidently
deemed necessary by its own dignity and
sense of conservatism.

Since the opening of congress Senator
Hansbrough has introduced bill to en-

forestry in North Dakota. It provides

acres of land for the purpose. The state
has already inaugurated the school at
Bottineau, the legislature having set
aside a tract of land for it. The senator
also offered a bill aprpopriating $500. 900

practically verifies the estimate that
at least so lives were lost in Wednes-
day nights collision of passenger
trains on the Wabash railroad near
Seneca. The two immigrant cars in
which the greatest loss of life occur
red and in which so many of the
wreck victims were roasted to death
were part OF a train which crossed
Detroit river from Canada on the
ferry-boat Great Western Wednesday
afternoon, and Deputy Moran inspect
ed the baggage of it's passengers. He
says there were at least loo Italians
IN the two cars. In addition to these
there were 10 more in the smoking
car which was ahead of the two emf
grant cars
superintendent Burns of the Wa
bash railroad insists that the death
loss in the wreck was estimated very
much too high. Our attorney, MIR |
Winston" said he, has telegraphed /
10 New York for complete list of the I
immigrants that were on train No. /

probably be tomorrow. an official |
statement will be issued by the road.
AS near as | can estimate now there

bodies, and we believe that the frag- i
ments found represent II other
bodies"
superintendent Burns was told of
the interview with Customs Collector j
Moran, estimating the number of i'm
migrants on the train at no While
Mr. Burns declined TO estimate the
number pending the arrival of the of {
fetal list, he declared that this was
too high. One thing that must be

taken to ST. Louis. Is are in the COM !
