AN OFFHAND DECISION ON A
WEIGHTY QUESTION.

The haste with which General
Bingham has decided that he viii lead
the cause of municipal reform in New
York next fall. if the refor1ners desire
him to lead them. tends to strengthen
doubt N many minds that he is the
man to nominate and elect. The ques-
ton which he has settled almost off
hand calls for meditation. and at least
half Of a two months vacation is none
too long for consideration. General
Bingham himself should know that.
simply because he has made an honest
police commissioner and hn7 resisted
the politicians and grafters, he is not
thereby fully qualified for the office of
mayor, even though a little man now
IN the mayors chair may furnish
tne campaign issue.
However, it is not well to look too
far ahead, either with hope or with
forebodings. Time flies fast in New
York. Sensations replace sensations
very rapidly Possibly, by the time
General Bingham returns "a the me-

Oh, La! BWano I jumbo
Kills Genuine Ohlala
By LUNCHROOM CHARLIE.

man. The natives by this time were
more than a mile away. leaving Bwana
Tumbo alone with his relentless adver-
sary.
The ohlala. carried forward by the
momentum OF his own frenzied charge,
checked himself when about 200 yards
from the hiding place OF BWana Jumbo,
who now boldly eme-ged and began
firing, the thFee-inch shells from his
gun playing havoc with the jungle
growth. Beast and hunter charged and
cOunterchaTged over an area Of about
two acres. 4 number Of reptiles and
smaller animals were stepped upon and
crushed duriBg the battle, the ground
itself soon resembling the stamping
ground of an immense army
After he had thoroughly Infatuated the
ohlals, whose will had never before
been crossed, Bwana IumbO shot him
twice through the forehead, thrice
through the heart and once through the
abdomen. With a despairing curse the
monstrous beast breathed his last as the
natives, now treasured, returned with
re-enforcements.
The dead specimen, which Is being
stuffed today, measured thirty-threa
feet through the body and a quarter OF
a mile around. BWana TumbO was
warmly congratulated by the natives.
He replied in neat speech, spoken il
Spanish.
Bwana Jumbo probably owes his life
to the fact that he refused to argue
with the Ohlala 1t is said that the
beast has been the undoing Of many A
hunter who unthoughtedly engaged in
conversation with il instead of shooting
upon sight
After he returned to the camp, the
wonderfully dextrous hunter RECALLED a
select audience with tales Of the habits
Of the OhIala. II appears, from his con-
querOr's narrative, that the beast is ac-
customed TO spend three months of each
year in the water Six months ara
spent on land. and the remaining three

said, IS not a hOme-lOving animal and

THE COURT IN DEFENSE OF
NOCTURNAL QUIET.

We don't imagine that Judge kim
ball, who has rendered the opinion that
piano playing after 10 O'Clock at night
is disorderly conduct, meant that every
case should be measured by such
rule The probability is that she rul-
ing is intended to apply so those who
are never inspired to amuse them
selves until most of the people in the
neighborhood are going to bed.
This case is a common one. At first
the little community excuses the per
Torrance on the ground of vanity or
sociability. There is a feeling that
the newcomers are eultivating art, or
think they are; a feeling, also, that the
musical shoutings and the poundings
may be nothing more or less than the
offerings of generous, hospitable ma
lures. But gradually this philosophy
sours under the heat of the sentiments
provoked by the musical monomania.
Whole families follow the clam into
retirement; one entertainment in the
neighbcrhood seems more than enough.
Some folks talk of moving as soon
as the lease expires. Others indulge in
eaustic critical comment. Finally one
of the worms turns.
In tits case the continuous perform
ers were hailed into court and ad-
monished TO mend their ways.
Eve can't live in a city like this, all
crowded together" said the court,
unless everybody has some considera-
ton FOR the rights Of his neighbor 30
man or woman has a right to play
the piano or sing after his or her
neighbors are asleep or indeed trying
to sleep"
Of course, it may be worse here
than it is in other big cities, but we
doubt it,

THE TARIFF BILL AND THE
CONFERENCE.

It Is as plain as day, to ANYBODY
who will give a little intelligent study
20 the conference committees of the
two houses, that the cause of down
ward revision has little to hope from
them unless some powerful outside
force shall be exerted.
The real business of conference will be
done by the Republican Senators and
The Republican House members who
viii sit in the conference. These men
are:
Senators papresestatIyAs
ALDRIcH PaYNE
BURROWS, DAIZEII
PENROSE. MCCALL.
HALE, BOUTELI-
cULLOM. cALDERHEAD,
FORDNEY.
The Senate committee may be dis
missed with the observation that it
might just as we'll be composed Of
Senator Aldrich.
The House committee is different. II
il not only not composed Of its chair
man. but it is likely to prove out Of
sympathy with him at important
points.
OF the six Representatives. PAYNE
and Mccall are the two to whom advo-
Gates Of downward revision have long
looked for a sincere, determined effort
TO prevent the adoption OF the Senate
bill. These two, with Mr.. Hill of Con
nectieut, who, by seniority, was en-
titled 10 a place on the conference.
would have made up a majority Of
committee of five. That would have
given possibility of a fine fight for the
lower rates in cases where there is
choice to be made.
But the speaker showed which wav
lay his sympathies when he dropped
Hill out of his list. and then effectu-
ally blanketed PAYNE and Mccall bv
putting two extreme protectionists on
IN his place Fordney and Calderhead.
Thus the best that revision can now
see IN the House committee Is the sup
port of Payne and Mccall. while
against them viii be arrayed the other
four members DaIzeH. BouteH. Calder
head, and Fordney. 1t is hardly con
eeivable that the Speaker would have
been at SO much pains 70 make up his
conference committee in this way un-
less he meant that Is should do a
particular piece of work.
