Latest Work in Congress.

Representative Sherman of New
York has introduced bill providing
that the passenger rate on all rail
roads in the United States doing an
interstate business shall be cents a
mile, effective Jan. 1 next. A uniform
system of mileage books is provided
for, which shall be on sale by all
roads and good on any train on any
road The bill was referred to the
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce, of which Mr. Sherman is
the ranking Republican member
A new conference report on the
statehood bill, containing the COM
promise provision agreed upon by the
conferees of both houses of Congress,
has been presented to the Senate.
The old report first was withdrawn
after some discussion of the power
of the conferees to take such action,
and vote was had to decide the dis
pute. 1t is believed that the trouble
some question now is in fair way to
be settled
The bill extending from twenty
eight to thirty-six hours the time
that live stock may be kept in cars
without unloading, was passed by the
Senate Senator Warren, who led the
debate in behalf of the measure, in
sisted that unloading often is more
harmful to stock than to extend for
a few hours the time of its con6ne-
ment. Although senators from east
ern states spoke in opposition to the
measure, it was passed without divi-
sion.
Again has the railroad rate bill
gone to conference. 1t will emerge
in a few days and be in such form as
to receive the Endorsement of the
House and Senate. There was an
exciting scene in the House when
the rule sending the bill to confer
ence without debate was reported by
Mr.. Dalzell. The Democrats sought
an opportunity to accept some of the
Senate amendments, especially those
relating to sleeping cars and passes.
They were denied vote upon any of
these matters.
A strong effort will be made to
have the conferees agree to leave
the sleeping car provision in the bill.
The pass provision seems to be in a
hopeless tangle. Railroad employees
are deluging congressman with pc
titions urging thta they be granted
permission to use passes, and if an ex-
ception is made in their favor the
class must be extended to include
others. The anti-pass amendment
will be the hardest nut for the con-
ferees to crack.

Two Chicago couples whom incom-
patability of temperament had sepa-
rated for years, decided that wedlock
was preferable to loveless old age,
and, taking a train for Waukgan, re-
united the Jagged fragments of the re-
lation which they had shattered so
long ago.
One of the couples was united after
separation which had lasted thirty
three years, the other after a sepa-
ration of twenty years. But ardor
laughs at white hairs and the marri-
age ceremonies were as merry as
those of their youth.
The couple who had separated the
longer were Mr.. and Mrs. William
p. Deland, who were divorced thirty
three years ago after an unsuccess-
full experiment at the marriage state
Deland is 60 and his wife SIS.
The second couple who found it i'm
possible to endure life apart was Mr.
and Mrs. William Foskett, who de-
cided that marriage was failure for
them and secured divorce twenty
years ago. After the second cere-
mony, which was performed by JUS
tice Orviss, the blushing bride adj
mitted she had found life with Will
liam far more endurable than without
him, despite clashing of tempera-
ments.
The marriage was the elimination
of a brief second courtship, which
followed chance meeting on the
street recently Neither had seen the
other in twenty years.
Foskett had just returned from an
extended trip through the east when
he CHANGED to meet his former wife
on the street one day. He spoke to
her and was amazed to see that his
advances were not repellent to her.
They talked the matter over and the
former Mrs. Foskett finally admitted
she found life extremely dull as a
widow.
Once the opportunity asserted itself,
Foskett took advantage of it and the
chance meeting ripened into the con-
,viction that neither could continue to
live longer without the solace of the
others companionship. The trip to
Waukegan and the second ceremony
was the outcome--Chicago Chronicle.

Two Views of Smoot.

1t is easy to foresee the wave of
satisfaction and rejoicing that will
sweep over the country at the major
ity committee report against Senator
Smoot Mormonism in the United
States is an institution of great NAL
evidence and of subtle danger not on
1y to the separation of church and
state, but also to the liberties of the
people under its baneful sway and re-
whole country. Polygamy is crime
that menaces the American home,
which is the foundation of righteous
public life; and the universal execra-
ton in which its apologists are held
speaks loudly for the soundness of
our national life and the perpetuity
of our social institutions.
1t seems unfortunate that the men,
bership of Mr.. Smoot in the Senate
could not be determined upon this
broad ground of common morality
and public policy; but careful reading
of both the majority and minority
reports OF the Senate committee
makes it clear that the question after
all is legal question and that very
weighty considerations exist in con-
travention of the Senate's right to ex-
clude or expel the Utah senator. Men
like Senator Knox and Senator Bev-
eridge, in whom moral conviction is
strong and who very well know the
sentiment of the people, whose con-
fidence and esteem thep prize in their
respective States, are not likely to af-
front that conviction or incur the
disapproyal of their constituents
without any very grave reasons.
The majority report accurately re-
fleets the conscience and judgment of
the better elements in American life.
The minority report presents legal
argument which will undoubtedly ap-
peal with great force to thinking
minds both within the Senate and
without 1t sometimes takes high
degree of courage to stand for prin-
ciple against what seems to be both
public policy and the demands of
morality--Indianapolis Star.

Henry Watterson comes oat fiat
footedly for Bryan, the man he re-
fused to support in 1896 He says:
MIR. Bryan is more fortunate than
Mr. Tilden. He carries no disabilities.
He has survived the crudities and
hysteria of the ill-starred campaign
of 1896. Though he went to dwind-
lnig instead of rising vote in 1900,
he had his organization and follow
ing intact. The end of She campaign
of 1904 saw him the one king pin
erect and standing, and since then it
must be conceded that he has carried
himself with prudence and aplomb,
intimating to thoughtful observers
the growing rather than the waning
man.
The Nebraskan is at the best of
his powers. If the party can not be
united on him, upon whom else.
There is living hope among the
Democratic rank and file that they
can carry the next election and a
latent fear that the chance of doing
so may be blighted by possible fac
tionism, muddled by misleading influ-
ences-perhaps by corrupt and cor
rupting influences. These Democrats
refuse to take two bites at cherry.
Mr.. Bryn is as good now as he will
be two years hence. They intend to
say SO. They do not intend to wait.
What he will most need will be moral
support, and this they mean to heap
up in sufficient measure and in adj
vance. As consequence, each state,
at least in the West and South, which
meets in convention for any purpose
from now onward. will follow the
lead of Missouri, Arkansas ana Indi-
ana. naming him as the standard
bearer for 1908.

Made Striking Appearance.

Justice Shook of Michigan City,
late Sunday afternoon officiated at the
wedding of couple that seemed to
have been made up for an act in
comedy The bridegroom is Eliza
Mitchell, born at Galien, Mich, May
"a, 1884 His present residence IS at
Glendora, Mich, and he is the son of
Julian Mitchell, farmer living near
Glendora. The bride was Miss Geor-
gle Lolomaugh, born May "a, 1888,
at Newton, Kas. Her home was with
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew
Lolomaugh, at Berrien Springs, Mich.
Eliza wore stripped overalls. to
which was attached a bib reaching to
the middle of his breast and support
ed with suspenders, and a jacket or
blouse OF the same material which,
being we'll starched, dropped from his
neck as far as the small of his back
like cone His figure was topped
out with broad brimmed straw hat.

Johnson Will Get Bail.

Alexander M. Johnson who stabbed
Eugene Kemp in Shoemaker's saloon
last Friday evening will be admitted
to bail.
1t is now hoped that Kemp will
recover, but if he should die Mr..
johnson could not be held for muir
der in the first degree. Johnson's
neighbors say that there is no better
neighbor in that section of country
than doc" Johnson and all express
surprise that he should attempt to kill
anybody. 1t was whisky and the ex-
element of the moment that caused
it, and whether or not he escapes
state prison, it certainly ought to
teach him to keep out of saloons

The World Growing Better.

The world is getting better all the
time Neither tainted meat, nor faint
ed money, nor Standard Oil rebates,
nor railroad discrimination, nor in
surance graft, nor political corruption,
nor special privilege, nor yellow jour
nalism, nor monopoly prices, nor
closed doors, nor unfair competition,
nor overcapitalization, ror stock job
berry, nor bombs, nor lynch law,
should blind lis to this fact.
The world is better 1t is better
than it was a thousand years ago, or
hundred years, or fifty years, or
even one year ago. 1t would not be
difficult for an expert commission to
establish that fact. 1t is pleasanter
and safer to live in. Life in it is fuller
and sweeter and truer and more use
full. Opportunity for ambition and
enterprise and service was never so
grand as it is now. There is more
health, more sanitary protection
against disease, more scientific treat
ment of the insane and afflicted, more
regard for the poor, better wages,
shorter hours of labor and finer ten
ements for the worl1men.
The world has been brought closer
together. Commerce has made the
o1oha n ,,a,nbhorLooJ Tt,.o-o =.
keener sense of brotherhood between
different nations and peoples. Crime
has been made more difficult and war
less frequent. Travelling has been
made a pleasure, means of recrea-
ton. Cities are safer to live in, and
the country has been rescued from
its loneliness by telephones, trolleys
and good roads We have better food,
better clothes, better houses, better
schools and better churches, and more
hospitals and institutions of charity
science and reform, than ever before
| in all the history of the world. Never
did women hold so exalted a position
in the life of the world as today, and
never were the rights of children, for
both education and play, so safe
guarded. Books have become the
common possession of the multitude
The press, with all its shortcomings,
was never SO truly the vehicle of
truth as now. Society, with all its
gross extravagances and display was
never so free from impurity and reck-
less disregard of the rights of others
as it is today. In business, when was
there time when the inviolability of
contract was held in higher regard,
when was the oral promise never
broken, so universally the basis of
transactions in the great markets?
1T ever you are overwhelmed in
pessimism by the muck rake revela-
tons, open the book of history and
biography. Study the conditions ex-
isting when your father and his faith
er, and fathers father, lived Take
note of how much better off you are
than your ancestors, and then do your
part to make the world still better for
those who come after you. Remem-
Der, also. how fast progress is made
nowadays. The thousand years that
are as one day have become as even
one hour.

INTO BALD MOUNTAIN.

Experienced Man to Have Charge OF
Sinking Diamond Drill.
Arrangements have been completed
to bring from Denver an experienced
man to have charge Of the work OF
sinking the diamond drill on Bald
mountain, near Deadwood. Some time
ago the work of drilling was COM
menced at the bottom of 2S5-foot
shaft When the drill had penetrated
the ground to a distance Of about lao
feet 1t was found to be passing
through such soft material that as
fast as the hole was drilled. 1t filled
up. Consequently it became neces-
sary to suspend operations awaiting
the arrival of casing. This has now
arrived and the work of putting down
the drill to explore the lower ore
measure will be resumed at an early
date. The Dakota, the Imperial and
the Reliance are all interested In
this project.
