1t was complained that in one branch Of
the last Legislature a combination of three
interests was made which exercised a de-
cided and not salutary influence upon legis-
lation. But If there was such a combina-
tion 1T failed of it's purpose, since all it's
measures were marked for slaughter and
were slaughtered in the other branch. So
it came about that the three bills for which
the combination was made failed. In this
Legislature there is no indication of COM
binations to carry measures which have
not the strength to go alone. In both
branches men who were acting together
for one measure are arrayed against each
part, the bills of doubtful character have
been killed, and even some bills that seem
to have deserved a better fate have been
slaughtered. The greatest danger has been
in the direction of increasing the compen-
sation of officials. This is danger because
there is a general feeling that in these
good times everything can be done on a
liberal policy. The intimations which the
House has given are that it is not carried
away with the spirit of liberality. Take
the action on the prosecutors bill; the first
day it was amended so as to apply to future
prosecutors, and yesterday it was killed
The bill to increase the number and pay of
factory inspectors came to grief in the

Senate committee has reported back the
Gard fee and salary bill. amended. 1t is
quite certain that IT will be further amend
ed. But, while the Senate committee seems
to favor an entirely new bill, based upon a
different idea, prominent member of the
House committee says that his committee
is disposed to make a few changes where
they are needed, leaving the law nearly
the same as it stands now

These figures are based on the vote cast

HUMBERTS IN COURT.


Banker Catteaui, One of Their VIC
Tins, Prosecuting Them for Libel:
PARIS, Feb. 1.-THE Humbert family
made their first appearance In the criminal
courts to-day when the case of NJ Catteaui.
the banker, was taken up in the ninth cor
rectional chamber. There was great public
interest manifested in the proceedings and
the courtroom was packed with people All
the previous examinations of the Humberts
had been held in secret, and this was the
first opportunity the Parisians had to see
and hear the proceedings. The Humberts
were brought in like any ordinary prison
ers and took seats in the prisoners box.
Nine. Theresa Humbert displayed her usual
bravado and GOODNESS, her sister, Marie
Daurignac, was apparently much unnerved
and the latters brothers. Roman and
Emile Daurignac. maintained an attitude
of calm defiance. The case does not in
volve the main question concerning the
Crawford millions. but NJ. Catteaui's charge
that they libeled him by referring to him
as usurer, which indirectly affects the
whole affair.
The early stages of the trial to-day did
not produce any sensations. Nine. Hum
bert gave long, rambling statement of
her dealings with NJ Catteaui. and alleged
that his demands for excessive interest and
her borrowings from him amounted to
about 100000.
When Nj. Catteaui was heard and re-
pudiated the charge of usury Nine Hum
bert sprang up and asked for the privilege
of interrogating the banker, but the pre-
siding magistrate repressed her.
While Frederick Humbert was testifying
he sought to incriminate number of
prominent political persons, including M.
Valle. the minister Of justice, when the
Judge stopped him from bringing i'm the
names of people who were not parties to
the case. Thereupon Nine. Humbert ex-
claimed: 'Other interesting facts will be
disclosed when the main case is heard
The judge again stopped Humbert when
he asserted that persons occupying high
positions were aware of the fact that the
Humberts were in Madrid.

Because somebody started story that a
bar Of gold was accidentally spilled in a lot
of copper which was subsequently minted
into one-cent pieces OF 1902, the United
States treasury authorities and the SUBJ
treasury in New York are being over
whelmed with inquiries as to what premium
the government is willing to pay in order
to get the 1902 cents back. 1t is hardly
necessary to say that the United States
will not pay any premium. and persons
who have been collecting them will have
to get their premiums from. other persons
whole story is a foolish fake.

A shocking case of political corruption
has come to light in Pittsburg. and unfor-
tnnately for the newspaper profession 1t
involves some members of the force of one
Of the papers of that city. The facts as
established by indisputabie proof show that
a political boodler Of unsavory reputation
had bribed the city editor OF the Pittsburg
Dispatch who. in turn. bribed some of the
reporters TO make false reports of political
meetings and distort facts in the interest of
certain candidates To such an extent as to
thwart the editorial policy of the paper.
The Dispatch is a highly reputable Journal.

surprised as was the public by disclosures
impugning the integrity of some OF their
trusted employees. IL is another instance
OF the banefui influence of municipal cor

That the most exciting scene in the Sen

markable. since there have been, some i'm
