The Furnace Question.
Defective Heating Apparatus Much
Too Common.

Defective Heating Apparatus Much
Too Common.
At this time OF year most tenants
of other peoples houses are moved to
bad language regarding the heating
apparatus of said houses. 1t is a
lamentable fac, that the great ma
jority of the smaller houses in Wash
mgton, and some Of the las ger ones,
are heated By furnaes or latrobes
unfit for use IN any civilized dwell
ing. Some of them consume coal at
a ruinous rate, without giving ont any
more heat than Is required to make
he household comfortable. Some Of
them cannot be made to heat the
whole house, the tenant counting him
self comfortable if there is one room
IN which he and his family can sit in
the evening. Some OF them refuse to
give out any heat when the wind Is
the wrong way. With the steam heat
Frs q common fault is that they give
ont no beat half ts- time, and roast
the occupants Of the room for the
other half. The hot, dry air and
coal Gas caused by the avesage fur
mace make the atmosphere unfit for
human beings TO breathe, a faet which
attesied by the scarcity Of house
plants in the Distrir5 There are very
few people who can keep plants here,
compared with those who are able t.
have small amateur greenhouses in
cities farther north.
TIE main trouble Is, probabj /, with
the climate. The mild clilaate Of
Washington makes 1t possible to en-
dure defects IN ones heating appa-
raus which would be intolerable in a
colder region. Ike much-tried tenant
resigns himself to comparative dis
comfort for a few months in the year,
resolving to move, and try another
house, next winter This he does, and
the real estate market is therefore IN
secure, since without permanent ten
ants renting houses Is improbable.
IF real estate owners and dealers
only knew it, st would be money in
their pockets to heat their houses

SENATE BILL NO. 40.

Senate bill No. 149, which will come up
for third reading to-day in the Senate, is
designed to give the attorney general power
to proceed before the Supreme Court in
certain cases i'm which there seems no ade-
quate remedy under existing laws. If
person or corporation should usurp public
office or a franchise. or any other special
right II public officer has done any act.
which. by the provisions of the law, shall
work a forfeiture of his office; whenever
any association or any number of persons
shall act, within this State, as a corpora
ton without being legally Incorporated
whenever any corporation under the laws
of Indiana shall violate the provisions Of
it's charter. this bill gives the attorney gen.
eral of the State power to file information
thereof against the violators with the SUI
preme Court and thus institute suit. If
a corporation organized out of the State
of Indiana, but doing business in this State,
shall be guilty of any act which will cause
a surrender of its charter. the attorney
general may begin a suit before the SUI
preme Court to compel such corporation TO
comply with the order of court. 1t provides
that, in case of emergency, proceedings
may be instituted at once in the Supreme
Court by the attorney general In other
words, ii is measure designed TO enable
the central authority in the State to exc

tiers. Under this law the State could dea,

Willy GAS" ADDICKS.

Possibly in withdrawing from Delaware
Addicks had his eye on Arizona or New
Mexico-Chcago News.
Addicks says he's out of it, but it doesn t
follow that he is. Dead possums shouldn t
be trusted too far.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Mr.. Addicks, it appears, was merely stuff
fing up the chinks in the woodpile where
the colored gent is concealed.-Detroit Trib-
une.
The present condition of things is dis
creditable and injurious to Delaware, and
in its senatorial aspect is Of national con-
cern.-Washington Star.
This so-called retirement of Addicks
is only shift of ground. The papers which
are jubilant over it to-day are accustomed
to be enthusiastic without cause. Addicks s
retirement deceived nobody In Delaware.
Brooklyn Eagle.
1t seems that the tangle in the Delaware
senatorial contest is not to be unraveled
forthwith upon the mere offer of Addicks
to withdraw, especially when there is a
well-defned suspicion that the withdrawal
has some kind of an invisible string at
tached to it-Omaha Bee.
The question of extreme moment Is the
elimination of Addicks and of every trace
of his corruption from the situation. TIC
the last day that the scrupulous and high.
spirited Republicans of Delaware stand by
their principles the American people will
stand by them with applause and gratitude
New York Press.
Addicks's latest move is calculated t
give him temporary seat in the Senate
and another opportunity. with two years
of preparation, to go in, expend more
money and make another effort to contro
the Legislature, which, if successful, would
result in his election for a full term of siy
years.-Washington Times.
1t is not estimating Gas Addicks a bi
too low to suspect that his voluntary with
drawal from the senatorial fight was {
brilliant flank movement. Delaware is no
a very big State, but she is certainly biz
enough to save her good name by setting
this man down so hard that his hair wouls
become pompadour and remain so for tn
remainder of his life-Detroit Free Press.

At the request of the Woman's Prison
Association of New York, bill to establish
a State farm for women has been brought
before the General Assembly of that State
Such farm is intended not only as place
for women convicts, but for the large class
of women in New York and other cities of
the State who for minor offenses are now
sent to a workhouse or district prison.
Many of these women are FOUNDERS" and
1t is urged that If. after certain number
of arrests, they could be given a longer
term than usual and sent to farm they
might stand a better chance of reform,
and at the same time be kept busy at
healthful outdoor work. At Auburn Prison,
it is said, twenty women raise more than
enough fruit and vegetables to supply 1900
prisoners. This plan may afford a sugges-
ton to the Indiana legislators in their dis
posal of the Womans Prison and Girls
Reformatory problems

RoCKEFELLER's BLUNDER.

1t does not seem possible that Mr.. Rookie
Teller can be so wanting in common sa-
gacity as to have telegraphed thirty SEN
ators that there must not be any anti
trust legislation, yet the evidence that he
has done so seems so complete that the
only doubt in the matter is that some per-
son has been telegraphing in his name. AS
Stunning that Mr.. Rockefeller has done what
is attributed TO him, Congress must pro-
coed TO pass the antitrust measures it has
under consideration. The House has passed
them without a dissenting vote. If any
thing should delay the passage of the con-
templated legislation during the present
Congress, the next must be summoned to
do the work. The mandate of John D..
Rockefeller makes action imperative and
prompt
AS Mr.. Rockefeller has arrogantly thrust
himself personally into an opposition to
legislation which the country demands, he
must not be surprised If those who retort
say some things of his career as the head
of the Standard Oil monopoly. 1t is not a
matter of mere assertion, but OF fact sus-
tanned by evidence, to say that for more
than thirty years his business career Is a
record Of unscrupulousness. That great
captain of industry. Carnegie, had for a
motto, never take the other fellows job. "
The Rockefeller policy has been to take
the other mans chance regardless of the
injury it may do him. Some of his transac-
tons, If committed on the high seas, would
be characterized as piracy. For years his
pathway was strewn with victims of his
rapacity. IN the last nine months he has
advanced the price of refined oils 80 per
cent, thereby extorting from poor people
| millions to swell his enormous wealth. Nc
| man is more odious. and justly so. to the
American people than is John d. Rookie
Teller. His ELUSIVE piety and his much
proclaimed philanthropy in aid of higher
| education have tended to make the Chris
| tian religion subject of sneers.
| This is the man who so recently outraged
| the millions by unnecessarily advancing
| the price of oil when the masses most need.
| ed it, who is addressing American senators

would dare send to the German Legisla.
| ture. The American people will turn witt
| unmeasured wrath upon the head of the
| hated monopoly for this display of AFRO
| gance. Even If he had been a good mar
he would deserve castigation- for his dis
patches to senator's.

MEXICO'S GREAT PROBLEM.
Monetary Commission Appointed to
study the Silver Question.

MEXICO CITY, Feb. S.-There is great
interest here in the action of the Ameri-
can government in behalf of silver and
President Roosevelt's ready willingness to
aid in the solution of a problem of such
vital Importance to this country. The at
titude of the American government is con-
sidered most friendly.
The Monetary Commission to study the
silver question here is local measure
which attracts favorable attention. Not for
many years has important and repre-
sentative a body Of banking, industrial
and commercial experts been convoked. and
it is believed to augur much good In bring
ing about better popular understanding
here of the underlying difficulties attend
ing the settlement of this complicated mat
ter. The government has won praise by its
judcious action, for now ii Is seen il pro-
poses to act only on advice from the most
representative men. One Of the questions
of greatest present interest and one which
the commission will investigate is the pres
ent quantity Of silver money in the coun-
try. Notwithstanding many banks have
come into exis il is pointed out by
Finance Minister Limantour that Ii Is still
the custom in many parts of the country
among merchants and wealthy private per-
sons to keep large amounts Of coined silver
i'm private safes. An effort will be made to
ascertain scientifically the amount of cur
rency, both metallic and paper, which the
country requires for its business.
