The Nesblt Law Must Go.

The Nesbit law opened the way
to Relitious registration at the city

cideS that when an election crook
takes advantage Of false registration
by impersonating a man existing
only in the mind Of the n who
placed the fictitious name upon the
registration books, conviction can
not be had.

The Senate on Monday ratified
she treaty negotiated BY the Seere
tary Of State, for the purchase OF
the Danish Yves, Indies, after on.
y an hours decussion. The pro-
visions Of III treaty were thor-
oughly understood by the Commit
tee on Foreign Relations and,
although an amendment was offered
by Senator Bacon providing that
civil rights and status Of the island
ers should be determined by Con.
/ gress. il was lost and the treaty
was ratified by a practically unan-
nous vote, no division being
taken. Il was the sen Of
opinion that a strict adherence to
the Monroe doctrine. which pre-
oludes the possibility Of any foreign
power securing additional terri
tory on this hemisphere, made it
imperative that the United States
should purchase such territory as
was for sale in proximity to its
shores.
On the same day the Senate
passed the bill providing for a per-
manent census bureau. Senator
Lodge made a strong plea for the
amendment which provided that
only those clerks who would be re-
tanned in the permanent organiza-
ton should be placed within the
classified service. clearly demon
strating that without such amend
ment the bill would include about
1000 clerks, but one-iourth Of
whom would be retained and the
balance transferred to other de.
partments ahead Of those clerks
who had passed the civil service
examinations and were now on the
s'eligible list" The amendment
was defeated, one Senator saying
that the simple fact that the Civil
Service Commission desired the
amendment would be sufficient e
induce him te vote against it. The
House bill was amended so as &c

our old cat got to be so jealous of the
snake that he would hump his back and
spit and swear outrageous whenever we
petted it or even praised it.
THE snake made all sorts of over

always thought it was the cat that al last
