Of specified portion of the revenue

to be secured by a mortgage on street
railway property which in case of fore
closure would entitle the purchaser to
operate for only 20 years. Two meth
DDS Of acquiring property already
built, are provided, private purchase,
and condemnation proceedings. The
city is authorized to lease street rail-
ways to any domestic corporation for
a period not to exceed twenty years.
And any ordinance to lease for q longer
period than five years must first be
submitted to a vote of the people, and
adopted by a majority vote if demand
ed by signatures of ten per cent of the
votes, before it can go into effect.
When city decides to operate street
railways it's city council shall make
all needful rules and regulations in
Guiding the power to fix and prescribe
rates and charges. If any city adopts
the law, 1t may, instead of voting to
operate and own railways, grant
franchise to person or corporation for
a period not to exceed 20 years, such
franchise to reserve the right to the
city, to take over the property at any
time, before the expiration Of the
franchise on such terms and condi-
lions as the grant may provide, and
in case the city does not exercise the
right to take over the property within
the period, the city is to have the
right to grant the privilege to any
other corporation to take the franchise
from the first grantee on the same
terms that the city could have done,
had it exercised the right. In this
way the city retains perpetual control
of the franchise and reserves the right
at any time to take over the property
and proceed to operate it's own street
railways. This act was passed after
a most bitter struggle in which the
legislature Of Illinois was thrown in
to a riot. An effort was made to de-
feat the measure by speaker Miller
who arbitrarily refused to call rolls
upon questions pertaining to the meas
IRE, but insisted upon the right to de-
clare motions carried or lost on viva
voce votes. He was deposed and
new speaker elected, and the measure
passed by an almost unanimous vote
of both houses. The law is remark
able in two respects. 1t shows what
a wonderful forward step has been
taken i'll the municipal ownership
idea and how effective and wise is the
referendum principal applied to i'm
portant legislation. Chicago now has
the opportunity to acquire it's own
street railways and if this is i'm
practicable at the present time as a
financial proposition, the city will new
ertheless be enabled to retain absolute
control of the franchises.

Me dignity of domestic nrelate +,

The dignity of domestic prelate to
Pope Leo XIII was formally conferred
last Tuesday upon Bishop Mcdonnell,
Of Brooklyn, upon the occasion of the
celebration of the twenty-fifth ami
versary of his ordination to the priest
hood. This honor makes Bishop Nc
Donnell an assistant at the pontifica1
throne and therefore an immediate
member Of the popes household. He
is the only bishop in the United States
at present, who is an assistant at the
papal throne. The honor was con-
ferred because of the progress Of the
diocese under his administration and
because of his well known devotion to
the Holy See, as shown by the pill
grimages of the last few years.

commission has obtained is more prob
ably attributable, Judge Ide thinks, to
the policy Of utilizing natives than to
any other cause. Aglipay, the leader
of the new Filipino Church, is reported
to he astute and bright, with very con-
siderable executive ability. Finally,
Aguinaldos pre-eminence is largely
due to his remarkable organizing
faculty. For a race that has been
condemned to Anglo-SaXon tutelage for
hundreds of years by men like Gen.
Chaffee, and which has variously
been denounced as barbaric and saw
age, this is certainly very remark
able showing.
When Commissioner Ide turns to the
future and the question of independ-
ence, he declares the time not ripe for
such discussions, believing that mere
agitation will lead to the formation of
unlawful conspiracies to encompass
that end. But this seems to us not in
consistent with the view that the love
of liberty and the desire for nationality
are so strong that the mere mention Of
the subject is likely to inflame the
minds of the thoughtful Filipinos,
much as Patrick Henry's words fell
upon fertile soil throughout the colo
MES. Judge Ide's counsel of silence
and delay we think the counsel Of
cowardice and compromise. Whatever
the effect upon the Filipinos, the
United States cannot afford to be in
doubtful attitude about this matter.
1t owes it to itself and to every ideal
and tradition it possesses to announce
to all the world it's intention to help
the Filipinos to national existence as
it has helped Cuba to independence.
The time has come for the nation to
search it's heart on this question. Are
the Filipinos to be mere vassals and
subjects, Or citizens of the republic, or
citizens of their own republic? To
deny the Filipinos light as to their fu-
ture status now is to repeat the folly
of 1898, when Aguinaldo and his Of
ficials had no information as to our in
tentions until the announcement of the
Treaty of Paris. Frankness now, with
the promise of independence, might
act, whatever Judge Ide may say, as
a stimulus to good behavior and rapid
progress in the art of self-government.
Commissioner Ide's interview is also
unusual in that it is free from any
notes of vulgar spoliation or eXploita-
ton such as have been heard so often
in the debates at Washington. He
takes strong ground in defence of the
Filipinos against the Chinese. But the
very watchword of the philippines
for the Filipinos," which is in his
mind in discussing this question, is
what we need to apply ourselves, and,
Judge Ide to the contrary, we cannot
but believe that the word which the
Filipinos should hear oftenest from
American lips is independence. There
are some words which, spoken in con-
nection with the lives of peoples, have
had an irresistibly tonic and stimulat-
ing effect, and have done more to adj
vance civilization than endless trade
Or markets or money. History has yet
to record an instance where the spirit
of liberty. with free discussion of its
attainment, has done else than en-
noble the people who breathed it.

The talk Of Judge Parker for the
Democratic nomination still continues.
He is popular in the South, and when
the time comes for the convention will
be one Of the leading candidates.
There is no danger Of any one being
nominated who is not satisfact to
the great majority Of Democrats. The
two-thirds rule which prevails in
Democratic conventions gives assur-
ance Of that fact.

What's In a Manner

Nothing is so unalterable as the char.
acter that accompanies Christian
name. Deductions from Christian
names are absolutely safe
Names ending in wv always denote
selfishness. Names ending in tku are
to be avoided; their owners are treach-
erous. Beware Of names beginning in
Up. No woman over seven feet high
was ever called Birdie. Women named
George write novels. A baby named
Jabez Elijah Ahasuerus if always
called by its full name will not grow
up. A cat if called Beethoven is sure to
indulge in moonlight sonatas.
Literary men who study these things
will bear out what say. Ask them if
they ever knew an Andrew who was
not bookish. an Anthony who was not
witty, a Marie who was vain? Produce
a Rudyard and you will see omnis-
cience. Conan is interesting in crime.
Algernon ccmposes ballads before
breakfast Theodore is critical.
Mechanics are equally consistent in
their connotations. A boy called "Trot-
ters" has large feet. No boy with a
snub nose was ever called Hockey"

From Headache and

In a Few Minutes
After Taking
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills.
Chronic Case Cured.

Il cannot speak to highly of your remedies
and l will always tell my friends how much
they have done for my husband and myself
for sudden attacks of headaches. neuralgia
and rheumatic pains. There is nothing
equal to DIR. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
are simply splendid and giver lief in fifteen
or twenty minutes. I used to be subject to
attacks of headache, which had become
chronic, and took a course of Nervine and
Nerve and Liver Pills in connection witlAthe
Anti Pain Pills. The result is | now have
very little trouble in that way. My husband
has also taken, these remedies and praises
them very highly. We always have some of
both kinds of pills in the house, and do not
feel that we could get along without them
Mrs. KATE K. JOHNSON, McClellandsville,
Delaware.
There are many reasons why you should
take DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. but the best
reason is that they will give you lmost instant
relief from headache or other pain. In cases
of chronic headache, when the sufferer knows
an attack is coming on, Pain Pill will usu-
ally prevent it entirely. In cases of extreme
nervous exhaustion, when the brain is too
tired and the body too nervous to rest, an
Anti. Pain Pill will sooth the nerves SO that
sleep may come. They never fail, yet con-
tain no opiates and are non-laxative.
All druggists sell and guarantee Dr. Miles
Anti-Pain Pills. They are non-laxative; con.
tain no opiates, never sold in bulk, IS doses,
IS cents. DR.. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind.

The MONSTER
OF SALT LAKE.
Huge Flying Reptile Which Was
Seen Carrying q Horse
In Its yatVS.

A terrible namelcSS. unclaSSificd crea-
ture of the animal world is exciting the
curiosity, wonder and fear of OCCASION
al visitors to Stan>l,lllY island. i'll the
southern portion of Great Salt lake.
This monster. for it can be called
seen by several persons. but the best
account of its characteristics and move
ments is given by Martin Gilbert and
John Barry, two hunters who recently
returned from an expedition over the
island, in the course of which they
studied the habits of this hitherto un-
heard OF creature for three days.
The monster, which appears to be al
most equally at home in the air. on the
beach or submerged in the briny Wa
tiers of Salt lake, is probably the sole
survivor of a prehistoric species. 1t is
doubtless the last representative of a
family whose other members. dead
ages since, have left the testimony of
their existence in the primeval rocks Of
the mountains.
Arranging in concise form the de-
scription of this incredible relic of the
animal world from the accounts given
by those who have observed it at ii
tific language combina ton of fish, al
ligator and bat
In size it is simply tremendous. Gill
bert places it's length at fifty feet,
while Barry, who is an amateur scien-
fist, says that an examina ton of its
tracks demonstrates that the monster
must be at least sixty-ive feet from
head to tail.
The head is like that of an alligator,
the eyes fiercely glowing; the jaws,
capable Of opening to distance Of ten
feet from the top Of the upper to the
lower, are provided with a fearful ar
ray of sharp, saw edged teeth; the
body, so far as observation goes, is in
cased with heavy. horny scales. As to
this Gilbert and Barry are not positive,
as the constant diving of the beast, if
such it may be called, into the strong
brine of the lake has incrusted it with
thick coating of salt, which, save near
1t is due to this unusual phenomenon
that the hunters obtained their first
sight of the monster. According to
their account. they first sighted it at a
distance of between one and half and
two miles. The day was clear, the sun
intensely hot. Gilbert's own words Of
the discovery are:
1--WE were walking westward from
the east shore of the island about 9
o'clock in the morning when suddenly
to the northwest there appeared

1t looked to me like brilliant rain

ing rapidly through the air
''In three or four minutes the mon
ster's position was such that it no
longer reflected the sunlight directly
toward us, and we could then discern
the outline of the form. its wings
were batlike, stretching out over a
great expanse, l should say at least
100 feet from tip to tip. The tail was
proportionately short and resembled
that of huge fish. We were not close
enough at this time to tell much about
the head. only we saw that the jaws

SCAN CAPITOL ACCOUNTS.
House viii Investigate Commissions
Expenditures and Needs.

The house committee on public ac-
counts and expenditures will prose-
cute a capitol investigation for the
purpose Of assuring the house that ex-
peditures on the new state house have
been wisely and honestly made, and
that the $1,500,000 now asked by the
commission will finish the structure.
The investigation was decided upon
yesterday after half hour spent in
discussion, entirely friendly. Last
week Mr.. Nelson, Fillmore, sent up
resolution asking for a special inves-
proposed investigation was, he said, to
reassure the constituents Of the coun-
try members that all has been regular
and the states money economically
expended. Mr. Tighe, Ramsey, gave
notice of debate.
Mr.. Nelson called his resolution up
yesterday, and when 1t was amended
to read committee on public accounts
and expenditures, instead of special
committee, Mr.. Tighe withdrew his no
tice of debate, saying it had only been
given because the house was noisy
and he was unable tC determine the
purport of the resolutions when they
were originally read An investiga-
ton, he said, was entirely proper and
a proposition that should be welcome
to every member.
A proposition to refer the investiga-
ton to the public buildings committee
raised a slight breeze among the
country members, who objected to that
committee on the ground that 1t in
cluded too many city members.

to unSeat no more Democratic mem

anti-WolcOtt Republicans against any
proposition that may be sprung by the
WOlcOtt faction looking to a reorgani-
cation Of the house. Thus the Repub-

important house committees through

Republican candidates in the sena-
torial struggle just ended, issued
statement tonight regarding his posi-
ton in the matter. He declares the
election Of Teller illegal, but passes it
up to the United States senate. He
defends the action of the anti WoIcOtt
members Of the house In failing to seat
the Republican contestants from Den
yer on the ground that such action
would have caused the unseating Of
all Republican senators and blocked
necessary legislation. He says the
campaign Of 1892 was made upon the
distinct understanding that Mr.. VOL
colt would not be a candidate for SEN
atOr. and adds:
IF he had not come into this fight
there would have been no factionalism,
and in all probability Mr.. Teller would
not have been successful"

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 26.-Sen-
ator Nelson is working in harmony with
the administration in trying to rescue
his department of commerce bill and
make it fit with President Roosevelt's
plan for trust regulation. To this end
he has drawn an amendment to the
section creating a bureau of corpora
lions and when the bill is reported
again from his committee it will carry
an elaborate addition creating bureau
of publicity. The amendment is framed
along the line of Attorney General
Knocks recommendations, but more
condensed than the bill which Knox
drew up first.
1t is proposed that the publicity bu-
reau be armed with all necessary power
to investigate the affairs of corpora
lions doing an interstate business. Re-
ports on the results will be made di-
rectIy to the president and the latter
shall have the power to make them
public in such cases as he E~.all de-
termine. BY this discretionary power
in the executive it is planned that pub
licity can be directed to the doings Of
the large and Ubiquitous corporations
without harming SMALL innocent ones
or interfering with competition or nee
