A New Sewing Machine

A. NJ. Currier the harness maker, has
a man here this week installing a new
Campbell sewing machine for work in
his shop. We dropped in yesterday to
see it operate and were greatly surprised
to see it sew four pieces of harness leath-
or and three pieces of galvanized iron
laid together and it run along just about
rs the ordinary sewing needle does
through broadcloth. An awl is used in
stead of needle and the waXed end is
drawn through by another piece of
mechanism. This fine machine will be
a great addition to Mr.. Curriers' outfit
for doing neat and serviceable work.

Hopkins and Anti. Hopkins
forcesIGrow Rabid Over
Senatorial Fight
Looks as Though Deadlock
Was Good for All
Time

Springfield, ILL.,, Jan. 26.-Three days
of balloting in joint session with no ap-
preciable result has convinced most of
the members of the Illinois general as
sembly that they are face oface with
deadlock which bids fair to continue
possibly for weeks and it may be for
months before junior senator from
Illinois is elected. The FIVE ballots to-
day were marked by no changes which
could be declared significant of a
breakup.
To all appearances each side, the
Hopkins followers and the anti-Hop-
kins forces, is as firm in its determira-
ton to fight it out as when the first
joint ballot was taken a week ago to-
morrow. 1t was believed that the feel
ing between the opposing forces is
growing more bitter and that the
chances of a compromise on a dark
horse" if such ever existed, are grow
ing daily less.

law Is presented, not in the belief
that it Is a perfect measure, but that
it will be the basis for widely de-
sired change from our present anti.
quated methods of building roads and
collecting taxes to build them, which
subsequent legislatures can improve
upon as experience shows desirable.
The bill is in line with similar legis-
lation in many eastern states and is
the forerunner, at least, of the really
comprehensive law. The introducer
has evidently given this matter earn
est attention and we are sure that a
careful reading of the bill, together
with comparison of the amendments
it makes to the old law and the Sec
lions of the latter stricken out, will
at least show it to provide for long
step forward in the line of Good
Road" legislation.

The move for an investigation OF
the present and past management OF
the state penitentiary has culiminat.
ed in the adoption of a resolution for
an inquiry into methods of manage
ment and the naming of a committee
Of three from each house. A good
deal of comment has been provoked
by glib rumors in the past few years
regarding the management of this in
stitution, and it is well that a com
mittee has been elected to inquire in
to the whole matter and report the
condition Of affairs. Some of the COM
ments that have been made involve
merely matters OF detail and boot
keeping-the charges most recently
made being that greater profit was
shown on the Irvine plant from the
face of the books than was really
made. These charges merely involve
matters of discretion in making
charges of expense to the Irvine
plant management or emitting them
and making charges direct to the pris-
on maintenance. This has nothing to
do with the allegation of mismanage-
ment. The question in which the
people of the state are interested is
whether just and true accounting
has been made of all moneys re-
ceived from the, state and from the
sale of Irvine and other products of
the institution. We take it, this is
the question that will involve the
attention of the committee and that
will most interest the people of the
state. The committee has authority
to proceed with the inquiry and
should have no great difficulty in
reaching a fair and just conclusion
and that is all that is desired by
those interested in the welfare of the
and in the maintenance of
the honor and credit of the state.

THE REFERENDUM.

If there was any question as to the
temper of the house on the matter OF
any plan under which there might
be a resubmission of the prohibition
clause Of the constitution the vote
on the "Ueland" initiative and refer
endum bill should make it clear. The
bill was killed in the house by de-
cisive majority and its coffin lid was
nailed down and clinched by the tab
ling of a motion to reconsider the
vote by which it was Indefinitely post
pOned. The fate of the bill has been
pretty evident ever since the state
organization of the prohibitionists
placed it under the ban. Doubtless a
good many of the men who voted to
kill the bill believe in the principle
Of the referendum but the provision
permitting the submission of consti-
tutional amendments was too heavy
a weight for it to carry. The put
ting away of the measure means that
the state will have no referendum
amendment for four years at least,
and it may be the psychological mo-
ment has gone by and that it will
be many years before an amendment
providing for the initiative and ref
erendum will be adopted.
So far as the Tribune is concerned,
it has taken the position that if the
people were entitled to vote upon
one proposition that they were en-
titled to vote upon all propositions
and that there was no danger to the
prohibition clause of the constitution
even though it should be submitted
to the people. The people Of this
agricultural state are against the
saloon and its influence. The prohib-
ition leaders have the whip hand,
however, and they do not propose to
risk a fight, even though they are
assured of victory and possibly this
is not an unnatural position to take.
The principal objection to the ref
erendum is that too many questions
might be submitted to the people
under it, and that the election would
result in confusion rather than in
a simplifying Of matters political.
The principal Of the law is similar
to that OF the primary election-it
gives direct expression to the will of
OF the people. But as the primary
sometimes works better in tehory
than in practice it might be the ref.
erendum would work sometimes the
same way. It's tendency, however, is
In line with the general tendency in
nominations and elections in this day
and age.

arate branches of the Wisconsin legis-
1ature he will be elected in joint as
sembly tomorrow to succeed himself,
for a full term. It was said tonight
that several members of the assembly

Senator Husting, in speaking to the
joint resolution to investigate the SEN

primary to debauch the electorate? 1t

nothing but money entered into the
election campaign last summer and that
money won," he said :.

money in the primary, naming the sum

A GOOD ROAD BILL.

If we are to have a comprehensive
system of good roads and are to reap
the desired results from the taxes
collected and expended, it is agreed
there should be a change from the
present system OF applying the pub
lie funds The importance of good
roads has been frequently impressed
upon all OF us, and the Crane bill Is
interesting as ahording one scheme
of settlement of this perplexing ques-
ton. This bill, Senate Bill, No. 1879,
provides for county superintendent
Of roads-who may lbe the county sur
Neyor; abolishes the present road su.
pervisors and overseers of highways,
substituting therefor road inspectors,
appointed by the county board for IN
organized townships and by the town
skip boards in organized towns, and
these road inspectors are 80. compen-
sated as to warrant the belief that
they. will, in an overwhelming major
ity OF instances. do merit0rious work.
The bill provides for keeping Of roads
Y IN repair prior. to and subsequent to
the period IN which road work Ii u.s.
ually done between the dates Of May

testify to complaints of Gen. Poole
as to Eddy and said 4; he advised
against preferring charges.
Lieut.. Eddy was then placed on the
stand and testified that all the oppo
sition he felt toward Gen. Poole was
of a political character and that he
could and would try the case fairly
He said he had not known Of the
charges being made against him by
Gen. Poole until the matter was
brought out in the testimony. He
said he had expected to attend the
new army manouever and had re.
ceived no notice that Captain Frazer
had decided to have him in charge
of the N. P. troop train, and admit.
ted that he had not secured a leave
Of absence from. the last encamp.
ment. He insisted that his differ.
ences with Gen. Poole were political,
and on being asked If he had not
made charges against Gen. Poole
about being politically wrong, said it
was common knowledge that Poole
had fixed" voters.
Judge Advocate Hildreth moved to
strike out all reference to political
matters as not competent to estab-
fish bias, expressed or implied, which
was contested by Attorney Frame for
defense, after which the court was
cleared and when doors we're open
ed the court announced the challenge
sustained against Lieut.. Eddy.
Gen. Poole was then arraigned, the
charges read and the general asked
to plead.
Judge Engerud, for defense, said
that Poole should not be compelled
to plead to the charges as the court
was without jurisdiction, that the
governors orders to Poole were IN
authorized by the constitution and
the laws and therefore without the
scope OF the governor to make,
which answer he would make to both
the charge of disobedience of orders
and that of feloniously removing the
records of the adjutant generals Of
flee after he, Poole, had been order
ed to turn them over to Col. Peake,
the acting adjutant general. Judge
held the whole matter was
a constitutional case and was now
pending before the supreme court,
which would meet Wednesday to hear
the arguments in that behalf. There
fore, he suggested to the court mar
tial that it adjourn further proceed
ings until the decision of the SUI
preme court was handed down.
In effect this suggestion placed the
court martial in the light of passing
upon the constitutionality Of the ten
ure Of Office law a matter with which
the court had nothing to do as: It was
summoned under the laws as it now
was on the statutes, which point was
FULLY argued by the Judge advocate
general and Judge Engerud. ot
The court was cleared and later
It announced its determination to go
On with the trial with the six mem
bers of the court as then constituted.

A PERSONAL LOSS TO
THOUSANDS IN THE STATE
Governors Last Public Appearance
Was at ST. Patrick's Day Banquet
Bridgeport.

Hartford, April 21.-The illness and
death of Governor Lilley brought
gloom to the citizens of the state. 1t
has brought to a close many social
events in which the chief executive
figured in spite of his i'll health, and
which viii long be remembered. OF
strong personality, a keen judge of
men, and a man in public life who had
the power Of attracting others to him,
Governor Lilley's death came as a
personal loss to uncounted thousands
in all parts Of the state
From the time his illness took on a
serious aspect the great body of
friends kept constantly in touch with
the capitol and in the last few days
the number Of inquiries increased rap
idly. It is expected that the funeral
will draw to this city one of the larg-
est gatherings of citizens ever seen on
any occasion OF this nature
A Lover of Nature.
Governor Lilley's last public appear
ance was at the ST Patrick's day ban
quet in Bridgeport He made an ad-
dress there and then left for Summit
n. J., going thence to Lakewood and
returning to Hartford on the follow
ing Monday He had taken cold, which
completed the period of breakdown,
and placed him on his deathbed. At
first he was in a room in the rear on
the second floor, but during his period
Of rallying he was moved to a front
room, where he could look out of the
window and see the trees putting forth
their buds and the vines taking on
their garb' of green. He was a lover
Of nature and delighted in tho spring
time.
The family had looked forward to
the time when he could enjoy the spa
l4T "a IL
beautiful grounds which surrounded
the house, and he himself had so much
wanted to be out and enjoy the spring
time. Then the setback came. the gov
ernor was taken back to the room in
which he was first placed and this
became the death chamber
A Trying Day for the Family.
The day was a trying ordeal for the
family realizing, as they did. that the
life of the head Of the family was
closing out on the window siIs of
the library which was used as the sit
ting room perched many of the tame
squirrels with which the grounds
abound. They were waiting to re-
ceive nuts and other dainties and
members of the family relieved the
tension Of their feelings from tir to
time by feeding the little animals In
the grounds also is a small pond in
which are gold fish and these also
were fed from time to time.
Officers Stationed in Front of House.
People passing through Pennington
avenue and those riding on the trolley
cars eagerly scanned the residence all
day for some sign of how the fight
was going on within the walls. Dur
ing the afternoon Mayor Hooker called
and later he had two officers stationed
in front Of the house to remain there
until after the funeral.
