Four important treaties have been
ratified by the senate since Senator
Cullom took hold of the committee
treaty for the purchase of the Danish
West Indies, the Hay treaty with re-
spect to laws and customs of war on
land and the extradition treaty be-
tween the United States and Great Brit
ain. Also numerous conventions of
lesser Importance have been ratified
upon which former chairmen of the
committee had been unable to secure
action by the senate.
Mr.. Cullom has ably represented the
state of Illinois in the senate since
1888. His present term expires in
1907 1t may be said that every honor
in the gift of the republican party of
Illinois has been enjoyed by Senator
Cullom during his long political
career

of Illinois was greatly engrossed in

of the postoffice committee was max
ing on rural free delivery page hand
ed him a card of visitor who wished
to speak to him in the house corridor.
Mr.. Prince took the pasteboard me-
chanically. glanced at it and told the
page that he would be out soon. Just
then Mr.. Loud again monopolized the
attention of the Illinois man and some
minutes elapsed before he remembered
his caller in the corridor. Rural free
delivery was still running through his
mind when he reached the doorkeeper.
Where is the man who wants me?"
he asked of that official. 81 know that
name perfectly well. but can't think

The doorkeeper looked at the card
which Mr.. Prince held out and then
broke into a laugh. 1t bore the name

Representative Kyle of Ohio enjoys
the reputation of being the best singer

while his melodious voice has not yet
been heard in debate upon the floor, It
has been heard-not in the house, but
elsewhere-to burst forth in sweet and
inspiring song. AT banquet he is al
ways set down to break the monotony
of speech-making with an inspiring
soLg which generally proves the big
gest success of the feast When he
first came to Washington he kept his
talent buried. but by accident or other
wise his colleagues learned that he
possessed musical ability. and now he
and his songs are in great demand.
He learns all the popular airs. and to
hear him render them is better than

nave the statute without meaning or

the argument for packages which are
TO be kept sealed is that they can be
taken into the courts or Legislature
and there unsealed and sealed again.
There IS. however, no suggestion in
the act that the packages are to be

only by the court or the Legislature.

record. however, is not public, unless it
can be inspected by any person inter-

statute at least, has the limited mean

Taken i'll connection with the language
of the statute declaring the packages

it is evident that the clerk is not for
hidden to open the packages to enable
interested persons to inspect the bal
lots.
I'VE think the petitioner has a legal
right to inspect the ballots, a right
which the town clerk must accord to
him. and that the mandamus must be
made peremptory. 1t does not follow,
however, that the petitioner or any one
in his behalf can sort or count, or in
anyway handle or even touch the bal
lots. He can inspect them and they
must be exposed to his inspection, but
they are all the while in the custody
of the clerk and he is responsible for
them. The inspection must be in his
presence, and he can make and insist
on such regulations or restrictions
consistent with the right of inspection,
as will secure every ballot like any
other record from loss, impairment or
change in any respect. The clerk can
afterward re-seal the package for
greater security until inspection is
again required by some person inter-
ested. Exceptions overruled."
The petitioners contention was sus-
tanned throughout, and the Legislature
of 1899 seated him as a member of that
body, though the certificate of cleo
ton had been given to his opponent
by the Governor and Council, because
the latter could not be behind the re-
turns presented to them.
