Senators Much Alike.

Senator Simmons. Of North Carolina,
and Senator Taliaferro. OF Florida. look
enough alike TO be twin brothers.
They are about the same size and
build; each has II heavy crop OF hair.
which is kept closely trimmed. and
their short. stubby mustaches are
much alike. Both have dark eyes
and there is probably not two pounds
difference In their respective weights.
II II were not for the fact that the
Florida senator has a few more gray
hairs In his head than his North Caro-
lima colleague II would be almost I'm
possible for the senate employees TO
tell them apart.

Chancery Court.

Last weeks BEACON inadvertently
omitted any reference to the Fall term
Of the Chancery Court which convened
on Monday, October 2Sth, Chancellor
McCool with characteristic expedition
finished up the business Of the court
in three days. The usual amount of
guardianship matters was settled, and
the shackles of matrimony were stricl-
en- from the usual number of negroes.
Several motions and demurrers were
heard. Most of the causes on the
docket, not being ready for trial, were
made vacation causes, to be augued and
decided between now and the April
term.
While very patient in hearing testi-
mony and argument of counsel, the
Chancellor has remarkable faculty in
cxpediting the business of his court.
So far as his province is concerned, for
the traditional laws delay" he is in
nowise responsible.

THE JUDGE AS A CENSOR.

Mayor ;SchmitZ angrily resented
Judge DUNES iilecturing" him. schmitz
showed his USUAL Grass ignorance of
public deconcies. 1t is a Judges prime
duty :, expound public morality, and
the responsibility of officials. He is our
official censor. While our newspapers,
ministers and orators preach morality
and honesty unofiicially, it is the place
of Judge to expound the public con-
science in theaweighty name of the law.
The other teachers may say what peo-
Pile ought to do; it is the Judges func-
ton to say what they must do how
deeply guilty offenders are. and how
well deserved their punishment. He
speaks in the name of all the right
minded people of the community, and
therefore his words have a weight that
Ia other mans can have. Every word
in Judge DUNES terrific arraignment OF
Mayor SchmitZ was we'll deserved, and
should have been spoken. Judge Dunno
would have been lacking in the duty OF
his high place if he had not officially
voiced as he did the stern condemnation
of every decent man and woman in San
Francisco of Mayor Schmitz's atrocious
betrayal of the trust confided to him.

A remarkable step has been taken BY
the Iowa Legislature passing an en-
abling act permitting the larger cities.
those of not less than $4,000 inhabit-
ants, to reorganiZe on the Galveston
model. and Des Moines, the Capital. has
already availed itself of this permission.
There is a movement in the same direc-
ton in Kansas and South Dakota, and
in Texas Houston. Fort Worth. Dallas
FL Paso and Austin are trying the new
plan. Des Moines, with its $4,000 in
habitants, is the largest city so far out
side OF Galveston to venture upon the
experiment. The Galveston idea is a
business corporation with Il President
and Board of Directors. all salaried Off
GERS. who devote their entire time to the
affairs of the corporation. Galveston is
ruled by a Commission consisting of a
Mayor and four Commissioners, who
are to all intents the same as Presi-
dent and Board of Directors of a rail-
road or Il bank. This Commission took
hold of Galveston just after the flood
and has had remarkable success so far
Houston, which had a very inefficient
Government and was suffering severely
from neglect. waste and dishonesty, has
tried the same experiment with crafty
ing results. The Commission has re-
tired the debt, paved the streets. built
schools and improved the water supply
and in the meanwhile reduced the tax
rate. The Houston Post says that the
system is no longer an experiment. but
demonstrated success, which is worth
it's weight in gold.
