The game Of billiards appears to be
one in which old men mays have their
triumphs as well as the young. Inc
winners in the international billiard
tournament were the oldest men in. it.
With unimpaired eyesight and unbro-
ken nerves the veterans outp1ayed their
Younger competitors and accomplished
the marvel of not only showing the
youths how to play the game, but i'm
proving on their own performances.
Possibly billiards will be the refuge
of those of us who buck at being Osler-
lied at 40.

for the Milwaukee & WATERFOWL; 1885,
600 for the Milwaukee HORIZON;
$3.50. 900 for Milwaukee & Mississippi

agents of the railroads went among

scribe for stock, giving their notes Sc

Deacon Clinton observe that this work

was employed as a director on the La
Crosse road, devoted all his time to
getting subscriptions from farmers on
this plan. The farmers got stock on
which they had agreed to waive the
dividends. and the road agreed to pay
the interest on their notes until they
came due. Mr.. Carey adds: 1t Is
needless to say that this stock proved
worthless and that the farmers were
compelled to pay their mortgages and
in very many cases lost their farms"
z Senator La Toilette estimated that
Of the $13,O00,O0O,O00 supposed to have
gone into railroad construction the
public. through land grants, bonds and
bonuses, contributed $4,000. 100000. The
amount of public land. given to rail-
roads amounts to 3O0,000,000 acres. or
enough to make five states the size of
Pennsylvania Besides, the census of
1870 showed there were still outstanding
of county bonds issued in aid of rail-
roads, $1S5, OOO,OOO This does not make
any account of state and city bonds
issued for a like purpose.
The country was wild for railroads
and took to it's heart any one who
would promise to build one. The re-
action came and many of the roads
went through the hands of receivers.
Then the principal assets were the
farmers notes and the municipal bonds
The public put so much into the
railroads in the first place that Sena-
tor La Toilette believes the public
ought to be excused from listening fur
Their to the argument for high divi-
dends ION account of the risk"

vance that If he says no, he not only
denies the righteousness Of the refer
endum, but attacks the constitutional
right of disagreement itself.
If the Peoples Sovereignty league
had not already closed the debate it
might be proper to call attention to the
fact that the proposal to establish the
initiative and referendum is the very
thing to be discussed. 1t brings up
the question whether this government
is a representative government or a
sons to suppose that the instruction of
representatives would not work in a
country as large as America. There are
many arguments why it should not be
attempted outside Of the condensed
city communities, and even there the
results of the referendum have been as
frequently criticised as recommended.
In assuming once and for all that it
has settled the question by stating 1t
the Peoples Sovereignty league ap-
pears to have advanced beyond Its
province. If this is a fair sample of
the political methods to be pursued by
the Federation of Labor it has some
exnerience ahead of it before it sur

LASFORDS GLORY GOES GLIM-
MERING.

Councilman Glasford's alleged tele-
gram and letter from the Washington
Pipe & Foundry Company of Tacoma
offering to save the city $4,000 if new
bids on the pipe line for the water sys-
TEN should be called for, turns out to
have been a huge joke perpetrated by
one Mendenhall, presumably at the
suggestion of some one who hoped to
profit by the removal or resignation of
Engineer Thomson. In a letter to
Mayor Hunt and the council, published
in yesterdays Statesman, the Tacoma
company through its secretary repudi-
ly unauthorized. 1t is stated that the
company took no further interest in
the contract after it was awarded to
the National Wood Pipe company of
Olympia The letter speaks in the
highest terms of the efficiency, hon
esty and integrity of Engineer Thorn
son and congratulates Walla Walla on
having been so fortunate as to secure
his services.
Thus all the glory that Councilman
Glasford hoped to get out Of this ten
thousand dollar proposition has come
to naught. Lige an apple of Sodom
it has crumbled to ashes in his hand,
leaving his craving for fame as a re-
former unsatisfied. After this Mr..
Glasford will look with suspicion upon
kilograms and will perhaps not be SO
ready to spring surprises on the coun-
Gil
1t is too bad that Mendenhall was
not given an opportunity to put up that
$1,000 forfeit on his guarantee to save
the city ten thousand dollars. But Of
course it was only hot air intended to
induce the council to take precipitate
action toward Engineer Thomson that
would have been regretted afterwards.

FIGHT IN LINERS HOLD.
Deutschland Reaches Port with Stol<ers
In Irons.

NEW YORK, May 11.-Four men Of
as many nationalities were arraigned
today before United States Commits
sioner Edward Stanton in Hoboken, on
complaint of the German vice consul,
DR.. Won Hale, who charged them with
mutiny on the Hamburg American
liner Deutschland. They asked to be
allowed to confer with the consuls
from their various countries and this
was granted. The case went over
until next Tuesday.
The alleged mutineers are Frederick
H. Kaysel, German; Afro CAIRO, Ital-
ian; Michael Sernegoralos, Greek, and
John Strandino, Finn. They We're
stokers on the Deutschland and were
taken on after the beginning of the re-
cent general strike in Germany. All
the way across the Atlantic there was
fighting between the different nation
alities in the stoke room, the English
and Irish stokers cinging together and
fighting against the allied Latins and
Germans.
When the big liner arrived in Ho-
boken, half a dozen stokers were in
irons and many more in bandages.
Until last night the ships officers
thought they could handle the gang,
but about midnight things got too hot
in the stoke room, and a call was sent
for the Hoboken police.
The steel pit in the midriff Of the
ship was a floating inferno when the
police slid down tn. iron ladders. The
English and Irish stokers were backing
up the officers in fight with the poly
glot mutineers. Shovels, knives and
coal breakers, which are long iron
hooks, were used and several men were
knocked out. The police used their
night sticks and finally took four of
the ringleaders. The prisoners were in
bad shape.

HOW RAILROADS WERE BUILT.

Senator La Follettes three-day
speech will be found a mine of infor-
nation upon the railroad question for
some time to come. He seems to have
studied many phases of the problem.
One of the most entertaining of his
chapters is that on public aid to rail-
way construction. I'VE frequently hear
it urged" he said, that railroad owners
should be allowed a profit on more
than the actual investment because of
the risk they assumed in building"
This contention, he claimed, was I'M
sound because in a majority of cases
the railroad builders did not assume
the risk. That was assumed by the
communities in which the roads were
constructed. One conspicuous instance
of this is the Milwaukee system. one
of the most extensive and powerful
railroad systems in America. Senator
La Toilette called to his aid in his criti-

What they did do was to project

towns and farmers and ask for bonds.

Clark N. Mclean, a former resident

neglect of his family, consisting Of the

PEOPLES SOVEREIGNTY.

In Great Britain they have a system
of "heckling" candidates for parlia-
ment. The candidate stands up before
the people and they fire questions at
him ad libitum. 1t is a terrifying
process to all but practiced campaign
ers, but the English value it highly as
a means of learning the truth. The
questioning of aspirants for Office in
this country has never proceeded thus
far. When a man addresses a political
meeting it is assumed that the platform
is his. If the people do not like his
sentiments or unconvinced by his
arguments, they leave the hall quietly,
or if they remain they indicate by their
lack of interest in his remarks a cold
ness toward his candidacy, which is
Immediately recognized. What is known
in America as frost" is much more
blighting than a "heckling' can pos
sibly be.
But America is not without means of
ascertaining the beliefs of the candi-
date. The newspapers question pretty
severely and the opposition is not slow
to examine him as to his record on the
issues. There has also grown up In
the country another system of ques-
tioning. which is more severe than any
yet put in practice. This is the process
of forming clubs or conferences de-
voted to some one purpose, and de-
handing categorical answers from the
candidate whether he stands for this
or that reform.
This plan has evidently been adopted
by the Federation of Labor, which has
recently gone into politics. 1t calls
it political annex, "The Peoples
Sovereignty League" and the Peoples
Sovereignty League, assuming that it
is the people, is preparing to ques ton
candidates for congress and the legis-
lature. 1t strikes one that this sover-
eighty league is somewhat arrogant
in the expression of it's sovereignty 1t
brooks no dissent upon it's conclusions
1t takes ten lines to state a question
and gives the candidate half a line to
reply yes or no. Here is question No
1: IF elected to congress will you vote
to establish Immediately in the nation
an efficient system whereby the people
may instruct their national representa-
tives. the system to consist of the adj
visory initiative and referendum until
a constitutional amendment for the in
itiative and referendum can be brought
forward and acted upon; the details
of the advisory system to conform in
inclose? Bear in mind that a refusal
to promise to vote for an efficient sys-
tenn whereby the people may instruct
their representatives will be a fiat
footed and open reputation of the peo-
pies right of self government
If its modesty does not commend this
question it would be fruitless to call
attention to any other of its charms
The candidate is requested to answer
