--Ricciotti Garibaldi who will attend
the unwilling of the Garbaldi monument
in Chicago. on Sept. 20. is a lieutenant
in the Italian navy. In 1866, when his
father commanded body of volunteers,
Ricciotti had minor commission. He
marched against Rome with the soldiers
who won the battle of Mohterotonde. took
part in the battle of Mentona, and was
captured. He fought with France against
Germany, in 1870, and after that war
made his home in Rome, where he has
been member of the Italian Parliament.

is MIR. WELLS Eligible.

Whether or not Hon. David Wells, who
is a member of the House of
Representatives. from this county, is
eligible as a candidate for the offide
of tax collector is a question on which
the lawyers of this city differ and the
Attorney General hesitates to give an
opinion. In n dispatch to the Morning
News printed yesterday the Attorney
General is quoted as saying that sec
ton 223, paragraph /, of the civil code
seems to make him ineligible to hold
both offices, but that can only be deter
mined by the Supreme Court" The At
torney General is also quoted as saying
that The ought to resign his seat in the
House, thus removing his disability"
The inference from this is that the At
torney General is rather OF the opinion
that he is not eligible as a candidate for
tax collector.
1t seems to us that the person the most
interested in this matter is Mr.. Wells
himself. If he continues to hold the Of
flee Of representative in the Legislature
up to and until it is known whether or
not he has been successful as a candi-
date for the office of tax collector, the
chances are that the question will then
be raised by his opponent-and it is pref
ty certain that he will have an oppo-
nent if he continues to hold on to the
Office of representatives, to whether he
was eligible at the time he was elected.
The public is not so much concerned in
the matter since the Attorney General
is positive in his statement that his acts
will be valid whether he is eligible or not.
1t would be a great disappointment for
Mr.. Wells if, after going to the trouble
of getting elected. he should be ousted
from the office on the ground of ineligi-
bility at the time of his election. 1t is
to be presumed, of course, that Mr.. Wells
has taken the very best legal advice OBJ
tainable, and will be guided by it. He
may be advised that there is no legal
obstacle to his holding both offices, or of
holding the office of representative until
he has been elected tax collector It is
clear, however, that in the opinion of the
Attorney General there is doubt as to
whether he is an eligible candidate for
tax collector That being the case Mr.
Wells may have a legal fight on his
bends after the election, if he continues
to hold the office of representative until
that time.

From the Los Angeles Herald.
When the sun has fed DER the mountains
gray
And slid down the golden West,
And the birds of the day have flown
away
In their own home nests to rest.
How sweet to the soul are the notes that
From depths of the darkened vale.
When falls on the ear, enhancing. and
clear,
The song of the nightingale.
When the sun has fed DER the mountains
gray
And the shadows gather near,
Comes the sober thought, with a sadness
fraught.
And a sense of gloom and fear.
From the sky of night falls the dim, cold
light
OF the far-off planets. pale
And the heart is chilled till with new
hope filled
BY song of the nightingale.
Then bIess'd be the bird whose sweet notes
are heard,
When the gloom wrapd night doth
creep
Like a grave-loosed ghoul to harass the
soul
With its chilling shadows deep.
Who weaveth a song that Is helpful
strong,
That maketh the sad heart light:
Who voices les cheer in melodies clear
From depths Of the somber night.

In Debt All Around.

owen Finnegan, right brave-hcarted
son of Erin, began life actively as a deck
hand on an Alabama river steamer in the
palmy days of steamboating, before the
railroad removed most of its picturesque
and comfortable craft from the inland
waters, says the Boston Courier.
Finnegan declared. according to Hannis
Taylor, that when he was deck hand
the cook, who was also an Irishman,
would call TO him: "Ah, there, Finnegan
hurry, We spalpeen."
F'innegan would hurry forward to get his
humble dinner.
Finally Ffnnegan got to be an officer on
the boat, and the cooks tone changed to-
hMr Finnegan, dinners ready"
In the fuilness of time Finnegan became
captain, and the cooks speech underwent
another change: Captain Finnegan, yer
honor, will you please take your tay?"
That was the cooks way of acknowledge
ing that Finnegan had reached the top of
the ladder And the story that good
Hannis'' tells bristles with that worldly
wisdom that comes of human experience.
There was man in Mobile many years
ago. so the story goes, who had a notable
personal resemblance to Finnegan. This
man was noted for contracting debts
ana never paying them, for thriftless
haolts generally, and for partaking of too
much strong drink. A visitor to Mobile
approached this man one night in Royal
street and asked him: Aren't you owen

A NEW CANAL TREATY.

1t was expected that the last Congress
would do something definite towards the
construction Of the Nicaragua canal. 1t
was not Senator Morgan's fault that it
did not He did all that it was possible
for him 10 do. The Senate, however, was
determined to take no definite steps to-
wards constructing the canal until there
was an understanding with Great Britain
relative to the use and fertilization OF it,
The Hay-Pauncefote treaty, which con-
TENED such an understanding, failed with
the adjournment of Congress. For some
reason or other TIE British foreign office
would not say what its attitude would
be in respect to the Senate amendments
to that treaty in time for the Senate to
consider it before Congress adjourned.
The most it would do was to inform our
ambassador in London that it would make
known its answer to the amendments
through the British ambassador in Wash
ington.
1t is the understanding, however, that
it is the intention of che British govern
ment to make some counter propositions.
1t wants certain concessions on the upper
coast Of the North Pacific, and IL these
are granted it will consent to the abro-
cation of the clayton-B ulwer treaty and
the removal of every other obstacle
which it controls that is in the way of
the construction of the Nicaragua canal
by the United States.
1t is evident that the beginning Of the
work of constructing the Nicaragua canal
is further off than 1t seemed to be at the
beginning Of the last Congress. Then 1t
was thought that in less than two years
contracts for building the canal would be
given out. Now it is apparent there will
have to be a settlement of important
questions with Great Britain before any
thing definite can be done
1t is by no means certain that the
United States Will make concessions on
the North Pacific coast. Indeed the prob
ability is that public sentiment will be
against yielding anything to Great Bril-
taln in that or any other part of our
possessions. There is a strong feeling
anyway in favor Of going ahead with the
canal without regard to any rights Great
Britain has in connection with it, II
Senator Morgan's advice were followed no
attention would be paid to the Clayton
Bulwer treaty. 1t would be treated as
II it We're no longer in force. Such a
course might bring threats from Great
Britain, but it is probable that the
threats would be made without any in
tention of carrying them into effect.

perpondent RIoomerite..

Owing TO a combination of adverse cir
eumstances it has been decided by the
Mowbray House Cycling Association to
discontinue the publication of the bloomer
journal, the Sign of the Butterfly, says
the London Daily Mail.
For the information OF the unenlight-
ened and old-fashioned majority who
have not identified themselves with the
rational dress movement, it may be stat
cd that the Sign of the Butterfly was
started as a monthly journal for the edu-
cation of the masses who, in spite of all
arguments, persist in adhering to the old
style of dress for women.
IL Is one of the bitter experiences of
Journalism that the Sign never paid its
way, for the devoted band of women who
have struggled in vain to popularize the
knickerbocker have had to find the sum
of f56 for each issue.
To a Daily Mail representative who
called at Mowbray House yesterday Miss
n. g. Bacon said:
Yes, we have stopped our paper, and
III tell you why. Everything has been
against us. l don't mean the public, be-
cause we are independent in our views,
ana we don't mind the scoffers, but cir
cumstances generally have combined to
put the bloomer' movement to sleep for
at least year. We had arranged to hold
v2rious bicycle meets and dances this
spring, and we were looking forward to
a time of great activity, and, incidentally
to many converts, when the sad death
OF the Queen upset everything.
THE fact is, We cannot afford mourn
ing boomers and all the rest of II, and
rs we do not care TO offend public feel
irg by turning OUT in grays and blues, VIC
have determined to stop the movement
entirely until the country is out of
mourning.
Next January we may resume the
crusade, but for the present we shall
slumber peacefully"
