They Met on the Avenue.

He didn't know her. She didn't know him. They were both naughty in apt pearance as they approached each other on Dexter Avenue.
 They were certainly sedate people, one a young man of not more than 23 years. the other young woman hardly older.
 By the expression in the eyes of eith- CT one would say without knowing their mothers that they were never guilty Of flirting one time in their lives. Yet watch them as they approach nearer and nearer. They are five feet apart. She opens her mouth and looks up: He has opened his mouth and also looks up. Their eyes meet and instantly both probably found an opportunity to yawn undisturbed when they reached home. Still it was not so bad. Jules Verne would have married them on the spot, and the fact of the business was that neither was angry after the Incident.

THE CASE OF COMERFORp.

There has been quite a good deal in the papers of late regarding the Co., merford case" as it is called, which caused considerable csmmotion in the Illinois Legislature. It appears that Representative Comerford in a recent lecture before a law class in Chicago declared in general terms that the Legislature of Illinois has been an al- together corrupt body. He did not charge specifically that the present Legislature is corrupt but left 1t to be inferred that his charges apply to that body, past and present. and pos sibly in the future.
 This charge stirred up the mem bers, as was naturally to be supposed. We don't know whether they were mad because they considered themselves slandered or because they felt that Comerford told the truth, but in any case they were good mad and expelled him by a vote of 121 to 13 In truth. 1t may be said that they kicked him out. And we notice that there is an agreement Of opinion, among the Chi cago papers particularly, as to what should have been done with the of- lending member. The Tribune, speak ing before the House acted, took the position that they ought not to in- fict severe punishment on MT. Comer- ford for his zeal in the cause of legis- lative purity. If they do the public will imagine that they are actuated by a spirit of revenge rather than by a desire to administer justice. Mir Co., tnerford should remain in the House and keep his eyes open for evidence of corruption. But he should make no public statements until he is sure of his facts"
 The Record Herald took the position that the House did wrong in expelling the offending member. It thinks rep rimand would have been better. add ing:
 Such a course involved no risk of a popular prejudice against honest mem bers. The punishment would have ntted the crime and the reputation of the Legislature would have rested, as It must now rest upon the conduct of will come not from the expulsion, but from an indisputable record of hon. esty and efficiency.
 While all must admit that Comerford should not have made such sweeping charges without ample proof to sus- tain them, there Is bound to be a sus- picion that in their nasty action the majority showed less desire to vindi- cate themselves than they did to get rid of a member who might be dangerous The procipitancy of their action looks suspicious. It looks as # they feared Comerford and wanted to get him out of the way. If the House had required him to prove his charges, with the alternative of expul- =sSn if 1t was shown that those charges were without foundation, it would have been more dignihed pro- ceeding. to say the least of 1t. As 1t is. they have given him additional req son for assailing them, and 1t will be strange if he fails to take advantage of 1t. The fact that he is no longer a member will not bar him from mak- ing accusations and of proving them, if he can.
