DEMOCRATIC RAcksLlplNe.

The possibility OF members of the Democratic major

minstrave officers be giving political observers
some concern these days. Whether any possibility
exists he be is not in position to intel

his position owing to the backsng certain members
of the former council calling themselves Democrats He is
good official and it doubt true the public has
lost nothing by his reelection But it is also true that
the gentleman then named his by the Demo-
Gratis of the city every respect point of
personal and professional character and ability.
The Globe has denounced the action of those So

methods rested every support the party

continue to occupy processes speak for

There is city corporation attorney and city clerk

GRAIN MARGINS AFFECT
RIGHTS OF PROPERTY
Illinois Appellate Court Decides
Against Chicago Dealers.

CHICAGO, Jan. 8.-The appellate
court today sustained the injunction
issued by Judge Chytraus against elght
board of trade members charged with
operating a corner" and sustaining
the. contention against the "cornerlng
of the market.
The court holds that under the laws
o4 +Ioa. e+ate dealers cannot be forced
to settle trades upon the basis of an
artificial value created by the corner
ing of the market, and that margins
deposited in banks or elsewhere are
within the Jurisdiction of the courts
in that they affect the right of prop
erty. -....-..
The decision makes a distinction be-
tween questions touching the disciplln-
arv rights Of the board, in which the
latter has repeatedly been held to be
sovereign, and questions of property
members involving finances can, if de-
sired by either party, be submitted to
the courts for decision.

FATHER CONWAY TALKS
ON THE CONFESSIONAL
institution of Catholic Church Is De-
Tended by PauIist.

The interest felt in the Paulist Faith
er's mission at st. Lukes church re-
suited last night in an audience of 700
persons, fully one-half of the num-
Der estimated to be non Catholics.
The fifth in the series of lectures
delivered by Paulist priests was last
night given by Father Conway. The
subject was Confession
Father Conway answered the chief
objection against confession brought
forward by nom Catholics.
I. Why not go to God directly?
Because it is not the way established
by Christ. Why does not a soldier re-
port to his general? Because the
army regulations demand that he re-
port Co his immediate officer.
80. Do Catholics have to pay for
confession? No, this is a calumny of
the enemies of the church. Catholics
call it the sin of Simon Magus to sell
spiritual things for money.
y. Does it not give the priest too
much power? No; the power is
Christs given to him as a successor
If L have pardOned anything, for your
sakes have l done it in the person of
Christ. CT. Cor, l., 10.)
a. How can sin be pardoned by
merely telling it. 1t cannot be. For
giveness is only given to those who
repent Tor the past with a Supernat-
ural sorrow, promising never to offend
again, to make good the evil done, and
to avoid in future all danger of sin
ming.
So. Did not the priests invent con-
fession? No; the Catholic church
asks confidently for any outsider to put
his finger on the date of it's human
origin. There is no record of it in
history. We go back to the day of
Christ's resurrection from the dead
So great an institution could not have
been foisted quietly upon the. Christian
people by human authority. 1t is like
ly that if priests had the intelligence
to found such an institution that they
would have subjected themselves also
to it's law. For the pope must go to
confession with the humblest Catho-
lie.
Sc. Does not the confession of sin
make sin easy? On the contrary, il
makes sin more difficult. 1t is quite
easy to kneel down in ones room and
confess to God; but to confess to a
fellow mortal, who will insist on a
strong purpose of amendment, and by
whom promise is strictly exacted to
avoid the dangers of sin requires
strong determination.

S0L0NS CAN'T
DRAW MILEAGE
Governor Refuses to Sign
Appropriation
Measure.

Gov. Van SAINT declined to affix his
signature to S. F. 1 yesterday, owing
to the engrossed bill as it reached him
not being in proper form.
The bill was introduced in the SEN
ate and passed both that body and the
house without a dissenting vote. 1t
provided for the expenditure of $50, 600
for the legislative expenses Of the ses
sion.
In anticipation of the bill being ap-
proved by the governor as soon as it
reached him the chief clerk of the
house had prepared the mileage report
giving 109 of the members of the house
$4,000 in mileage. The ten members of
the Fourth district delegation living in
St Paul were exempted from the draw
ing of any mileage.
When the members whose names
were on the mileage report drifted into
the state treaSurer's office to get their
warrants yesterday afternoon they
were Informed that as the governor
had refused to sign the legislative APP
preparation bill no warrants could be
drawn.
There were all kinds of remarks
made by the members of the house.
They had adjourned until Monday, ex-
pecting to secure from the state treas
ury sufficient funds to allow them to
reach their homes and spend Sunday.
1T is case of us having to use our
railroad passes instead of paying mon
ey for railroad fares" said one of the
house members.
I have just so cents in my poke
and will have to borrow in order to get
home and secure some more cash. said
Representative Nyquist.
Some of the members, who were
rather warmed up over the failure to
draw their mileage, commenced to look
up the trouble and ascertained that
Engrossing Clerk w. H Alton, of the
senate, had made the mistake which
caused Gov. Van SAINT to withhold his
signature from the bill.
The engrossing clerk had failed to
state on the bill the day on which
the measure passed either the senate
or the house, although space had been
left for the very important information
on the engrossed bill just above the
signatures of President Jones, of the
senate, and Speaker Babcock, of the
house.
The error will be rectif1ed on Monday
night when both branches of the leg
iSlature will again be in session

HIGH SCHOOL CLUB
GIVES THE MIKADO
Musical Students Give a Clever Per-
Torrance of Opera.

Gilbert & Sullivans opera, The
Mikado," was most successfully pre-
scented last night by the Central High
School Glee club, under the direction
of Miss Olive Long. The opera was
given on the stage of the high school
assembly hall and was witnessed by an
audience that filed the hall to over
owing. A year ago the club made it's
first appearance in musical comedy
with somewhat Indifferent results, but
in it's presentation of 1.-THE Mikado"
last night it scored an unqualified
success.
The two acts were well staged and
the costumes were artistic and effect
i've. Scenery specially painted for the
opera made an attractive background
for the pretty kimOnas worn by pretty
high school girls, the fluttering fans
and parasols and the swaying Jap"
lanterns. A large chorus presented a
most attractive appearance and sang
in excellent time and tune. This
chorus had only the music of the pia-
no to support it, but the accompani-
ment was so well played by Miss Vera
Putt that it seemed entirely ade-
Quate.
George Woods. who sang the role of
''Ko-Ko," the lord high eXecutioner,
was most satisfactory in the part. He
invested the role with distinct and
most ludicrous personality, that found
instant favor with the audience. Mar
tin Richardson. who was "Nanh Poe"
nossesses a very sweet voice which he
nsed most effectively. Adolph Rank,
as "Pooh Ball." and James Boxell in the
lesser role of the mikado, were both
satisfactory. The three little girls
from school, Martha Noble as Yum
YUM" Evelyn Dockstader as Pitt
Sing" and Louise Fowble- as Peep
Boo" made most attractive Japanese
maidens and sang their roles accept.
ahIv Gertrude Ford, as 'Katisha,' y
looked very gorgeous in her crimson
kimona, and aided Mr.. Richardson and
Mr.. Rank in furnishing the comic ele-
ment in the opera.
