:; There promises to be a big attend ance this evening at the trolley hear ing before the board of public works.
 The question of granting more privi- leges to the company has been the subject of conversation for several days, and unless all signs fail there will be some good arguments made to- night. The strike now on has called
 more than passing notice to the com pany and the great privileges it en- joys without giving very much in re- turn. If any citizen wanted a part of the highway in connection with his business he would be made to pay dearly for it, even if by any hook or crook he was allowed to use 1t. Right is right, and if the trolley company wants to enlarge it's plant, for the pur- pose of adding to it's wealth, 1t seems reasonable and fair to suppose that the company is willing to pay what the thing is worth. Perhaps it is, as no request to pay has been made
 up to the present. Let us begin now.

A SENATOR'S TEMPTATIONS.
Natural Results of the Immense Growth of His Power and
 Influence.

One result of the immense growth of a senator's power and influence is the temptation thereby offered to masterful men of wealth, writes Hen ry Loomis Nelson, in Century. To such men there is no pleasure com- parable to that of exercising power. The joy of the ruler is dear to them, and there is no position in this coin- try like senatorship for breeding that ecstasy. An indictment against wealth in politics, per SC, is folly; but wealth in public life, unguarded and uninforDded, unteInpered by a patriotic and statesmanlike regard for the general welfare, is hostile to the country's best interest.
 1t is not true that rich public men invariably disregard or overlook the general welfare; they are often our wisest counselors. 1t is true, how ever, that their first tendency is to consider the effect of proposed leg islation on special interests. It is also unquestionably an evil that men who have no talent for public life should attain to it's highest honors merely because they are rich. In the present senate there are more than 2 score of men who would not be there but for their possession of wealth. It is not true that these men, being in the senate, are necessarily un- worthy members of that body, but, in itself, the fact that wealth can se- cure senatorships does not make for the health of the body. When to this we add the domination which the sen ate has gained over the president and the popular branch of congress, and over the party organizations, we l readily understand that it is men ace to the health of the body polite.

The senate has ratified the Alaskan treaty, practically without opposition, very few senators voting against it, the vote being vive voce. The ratification of this treaty before any of the other important conventions before the sen ate was unexpected, but an opportuni- ty was seen to effect it's approval and was promptly seized by the senate leaders. To-day, as soon as the rou- tine business is disposed of, the Co., lombians treaty, providing for the build ing of the Panama canal will be taken up, and the senate expects to spend the day in executive session. It is the hope of the leaders that all of the treaties can be ratified before the 4th of March, although there is some doubt on the question, as Senator Morgan will strongly oppose the Colombian treaty in its present form, and it is expected that several sessions will have to be devoted to its consideration.

IRoNsIDEs A BOSTON BOAT.
Where the Materials for the Famous Old War Vessel Were Gath
 cred From.

How entirely the Cons titution, fin ished in 1797, was homemade vessel, and therein a typical product. MT. H. A. Hill has pointed out in his mono graph on Boston commerce, says M. A. DeWolfe Howe, in Atlantic. Paul Revere furnished the copper, bolts, and spikes, drawn from malleable copper by process then new; and Ephraim Thayer. who had shop at the South end, made the gun car riages for the frigate. Her sails were made in the Granary building at the corner of Park and Fremont streets; no other building in Boston was large enough for the purpose. There were then 14 rope-walks in Boston, so that there could be no difficulty in obtaining cordage; and @there was an incorporated company for the manufacture of sail cloth, whose factory was on the corner Of Fremont and Boylston streets, and which was encouraged by bounty on it's product from the general court; this product had increased to So,00O or 9O,O0o yards per annum, and is said to have competed successfully with the duck brought from abroad. The anchors came from Hanover n Plymouth county, and portion ol the timber used in what was then looked upon as mammoth vessel was taken from the woods of Allen town, on the borders of the Merri mac, 50 miles away.

damages were set at S75, the difference between what MT. Pierce might have got and what he really did get.
 MT. Pierce, on the other hand, de- clared that the reason why he did not let the colt go for $25O was because he expected to get more, but would have closed the deal had not MT. Blickford been too sick at the time to be conferred with.
 Judge Colby was the court before whom this nice question was dis cussed. Six good men and true were summoned as g. jury to weigh the evidence. After listening critically, the panel withdrew as usual to the coal cellar to reach conclusion. Coal cellars are exceedingly cold dur ing blizzard weather, and the jury al- most immediately brought in a yer dict of no cause of action. This nat urally surprised the plaintiff, Bick- ford, who had known every member of the jury from childhood. The de- fendant was elated, but in a gener- ous mood. When it came time to tax the costs, the foreman of the jury arose and said:
 May it please your honor, the members of this here jury feel that in finding, as they. have done in this case, they were actuated by calm and dispassionate consideration of the facts. Justice, they feel, must not be trifed with under no circum- stances. Nevertheless, knowing and respecting both parties as we do, we feel that all here present should leave this bar of justice without no hard feelings laid up against nobody. Consistently, this jury has decided to chip in half dollar apiece toward paying the courts costs.'
 This generous offer so warmed the hearts of the spectators that the fund was soon made up, with the ex- ception of 60 cents, but this dilemma was safely solved by holding up a constable who had been paid in ad- vance for serving the papers. The trial was tnen declared off,

ALL WOUNDS HEALED
Jury Paid Costs of a ssHoss Case"
 in York Statee
Their Generous Action Pleased Both Plaintiff and Defendant and
 Peace ReiEns Supreme in Ogden Town.

A correspondent of the New York Tribune writes from Ogden, N. Y., that when Dodson 8J Fogg made their arr engagements with Mrs. Bardell about the breach of promise case, in which they were to charge nothing at all for the costs unless they got them out of MT. Pickwick, Dickens knew nothing of Ogden, and the amenities of justice as served 1Ap in that region were hid- den in obscurity. There the costs are not extracted from the defendant or from the plaintiff. When both are well-known and popular members of the community their finer feelings are not annoyed that way. The jury chips in and pays the courts fees and ex- penses. While this is not established as an unvarying precedent, it has come to be the custom, especially in "hoss cases"
 The other day Jabez Pierce, known in western New York as Pierce, of Monroe and not unversed in the finer points of politics as played in these wilds, was called upon to face jus tice of the peace and a jury of his peers in just such a litigation as was suggested above in the term "hoss case" When Jabez is not breaking in voters he is curbing the high-spirit- ed and fractious colt. Walter Bick- ford, of Ogden, was the plaintiff. He, too, is man of prominence, and a fancier of the frisky foal. Mir. Bick- ford made affidavit that last spring he handed over valuable young horse %n Mir piorCo IA 1a 1o1. al ;nt0 ch for something while on the track. MT. Pierce took him in hand, and by the time of the Brockport fair he had him trained down so smoothly that he was offered $250 for him, spot cash. Instead of selling him, MT. Bickford said that MT. Pierce held the horse back and lost the chance, finally let ting the colt go for paltry SITS. The

Great credit is being claimed for the trust legislation accomplished at this session of congress, and yet, to those acquainted with the inside history of the session, it is, known that the presi- dent has receded from the strong posi- tion he assumed about the first of the year and has attempted to make the best of wholly inadequate and unsatis- factory legislation. Like the razors which were made to sell and not to shave, the antitrust legislation passed at the short session of the fifty-seyenth congress has been enacted for political effect and not for the control of the trusts. The publicity provisions of the Nelson amendment are farcical and will in no way affect the trusts already in existence. Their only possible use- fitness will be to demonstrate the un- reliability of some of the get rich quick schemes which are being constantly ex- plotted; but when it comes to the great combinations of capital which unhesi- tatingly use their wealth to debauch legislators and even make and unmake political parties, they win prove use less. Even the Elkins bill, which was supported by most of the democrats in the house and received no dissenting vote in the senate, abolishes the crim- inal provisions of the present status and leaves only fine as the penalty for infraction. The democrats voted for the bill because they believed it a step in the right direction, although a very short step.

Robert Buchanan had one deep en-
thusiasm, his mother. She was always
young in her appearance. but he re-
garted her to the end of her life as
abounding even In girlish charms He
could never realize that she was grow
ing old In looking at her. even when
she was close upon eighty, he saw the
soft blue eyes and golden hair which
he had loved long ago.
"I cannot imng gine my mother as old"
he said again and again the day after
she died. Il do not feel that she is
dead. for cannot Imagine the world
without her"
When. a youth of eighteen. he went
up TO London to take the world by
storm he was a miscribly homesick
lad. He sat in corner OF the railway
carriage. his heart aching. his eyes dim
with tears.
81 realized" he says. that I was for
the first time quite friendless and alone.
thought OF my dear mother praying
for me at home. and | longed to turn
back and ask her forgiveness for any
pain had caused her. Even now
never take railway journey at night
without recalling the dismal hearfscbe
OF that midnight journey TO London.
Almost daily during this early strug
gle did lie receive letter from her, al-
ways full OF loving instruction for his
guidance. His answers were overflow
ing with heart and hope. Mother and
son were constant In this tender sery.

best and most intimate OF friends.
