"PAsSES OFF QUIETLY
Club Women Fail to Arouse Enthusiasm
= - ..-aesre Over Election. .--...s.

The election yesterday was the quiet
est affair imaginable. There was not
the faintest glimmer of excitement, and,
in fact, the whole convention has been
entirely devoid of any sensational feat
ures. The delegates went to the ar
mory, cast their ballots and went on to
the capitol or to the Ryan. That was
all there was to it. Occasionally the
delegates Of state would gather for a
last consultation before marking their
tickets, but the groups Of women about
the hall werc discussing Judge Lind

rather than the election.
The ballot. boxes, four of them, were
each guarde by two tellers and one in
spector. AS the voter presented her
BALLOT it was, checked by one teller
and countersigned by another. From
2:30 until $3.50 O'Clock there was a
stream of Voters passing in and out of
the armory. The credential committee
In the morning reported that out of the
1867 women officially in attendance on
the convention, 7l6awere qualified vot-
ers. 2 ~
The tellers spent most of the night
counting the votes and it was not until
almost dawnEthat they crept YEARLY to
bed. Some of the voters had scratched
the names on the ticket and inserted
others in the list Of directors, which
added to theSlabors Of the tellers.

No Unit Rule.

The action Of the republican county
convention yesterday is likely to make
the Billy Williams Larrabee Mead junta
throw fits in tho street. To have nour
isned thru a severe winter plans for
manipulating everything in sight, and
then witness the republican douma walk
off with the credit in the spring, must
be maddening. Perhaps the repubh-
cans thought it would be a good joke
on the democrats, This may account
for the breadth Of the platform, tho
nothing could excuse its inordinate
length. - .sz -
The resolutions. could properly only
have come from joint meeting Of con-
gress, the supreme court, the Federation
of Women $ clubs, the DunneLewis I.
M. O. association and the Jim Key
Bands of Mercy. No such marvellous
"horrorscope' was ever before cast by
q single county convention.
Some Of these resolutions were good
and others were just buncombe, but
there was one which was the very best
and that was the one which emanci,
pated the state delegation from the oh;
jectionable unit rule and from the con
troll of machine politicians. The Hen:
nepin delegation is going to the state
meeting as men and if they do not make
a good record there, it will be their
own fault, not that of the convention
which gave them a free hand to repre-
sent the county according to their con
science and their judgment.

The Oregon Election.

If the election in Oregon is taken as
a symptom Of the political movement Of
the country in the fall, the democratic
hope Of capturing congress may ais we'll
be busted and laid away for at least
two years. Tho the state was ably can
vassed by the democrats on the land
fraud issue, the republicans have elect
ed their candidates for the house by
large majorities, and secured an indorse-
ment, which is equivalent to an election
of their candidate for the senate-this
notwithstanding that both republican
representatives and one republican SEN
ator were smirched in the land frauds.
The democrats made the most of the
]and scandal, but the republicans were
able to counter with the defense that
the republican administration had ex,
posed and punished these crimes. The
republicans prevailed, but it was evi
dent that it was only the action Of the
president in taking hold Of the land
fraud matters seriously, which caused
the people Of Oregon to continue the re-
publican party in office. The lesson oil

Up the Wrong Tree.

Mayor Dunno Of Chicago in present
ing proposition for municipal abat-
toir does not present a solution Of the
packing house troubles. The municipal
abattoir, as it is familiar in the house
keepingaof Paris Berlin, Vienna, and a
hundred lesser European cities, was in
tended primarily to suppress the small
unclean slaughter house, which was a
menace to the public health. It had no
relation to packing houses, because
these were unknown then and are prac-
tically unknown now in Europe The
packing house is an American develop
ment, the result Of American enterprise
and genius for doing things. a..
The municipal abattoir was estab-
lished in Europe for the purpose of
concentrating all the killing at one
place where the condition Of each ami

is needed in Chicago to concentrate the
killing. It is concentrated now. What
is needed Is inspection. The facilities
for inspection are perfect. The bust
ness is all in one place, all in a few
hands. The necessary inspection can
be accomplished without stepping out:

A Gain for Railroad Employees

The senate passed the employers.
liability bill yesterday. The bill came
from the house to the senate and relates
to liability Of railroads for injuries
suffered by employees. What the en-
ployees desired to gain by this, legis-
1ation was liability of the employer for
injury to the employee when the acct
dent was due to the negligence or in
capacity of fellow employee.
This legislation recognizes differ
ence between the liability of such an
employer as a railroad company and a
manufacturer whose work is carried on
at one place and where the conse-
quences of carelessness or neglect may
be more readily avoided by the fellow
employee than in the case of the rail
road, where the cause of the accident
may be many miles removed and where
it may be utterly impossible for the
injured employee to guard himself
less dispatcher makes a mistake by rea-
son of which two, railroad trains col
Tide. The train employees are injured,
but the employer is not, under this act,
to escape liability because of the blame
attaching to the dispatcher. The train
men could not protect themselves
against this danger. They have nothing
to say about the employment Of dis.
patchers or about their efficiency, while
the employer alone is responsible. AT
the same time, railroad companies have
tbeen escaping liability for damages or
4he principle of the liability Of the co
employees; and while passengers ant
owners of freight have been able to col
! aect damages, injured employees or thei,
Surviving dependents, have had grea
difficulty in doing so. This is mani
, fest injustice which this legislation i
calculated to remove. The bill will &,
from the senate to conference, but will
undoubtedly pass at this session.
= It's success in the senate is attribute,
to Senator La Toilette, and is quite a.
important result to be accomplished b,
a new man at his first session.
