chosen on the ninety-ffth ballot by a
coalition of fifty-three Democrats and
fifty-five Republicans after a contest
that tied up the Legislature for over
four months The victory restores to
him the Republican leadership of Chi

for many years, and makes him a pow

Senator Lorimer was born in Man

Chicago as a street car conductor and
from that developed into politics.
There as inspector of plumbing he pro-
crossed rapidly. By 1894 he had en-.

Tickling a Party TO Death.

The conservative" Democrat is a
rare study. This session of Congress.
including the regular and special
terms, has shown us Democrats in
both Houses who have opposed the
Republican platform claim that, in re-
viSing the tariff, reasonable profit"
for the American manufacturer should
be added to the rate found after es-
timating the total cost of foreign
goods to be imported This opposi
ton is not sound. since admitting for
eign goods into domestic competition
on an absolute equality would be prac-
teal free trade, and no Democrat will
admit that he is a free trader But
1t is one which Democrats might be
free to maintain if only it were pos
sible for them to be consistent in
maintaining it.
Some OF them are. but they are in
variably of the radical" wing of the
party. The Inconsistency of the con
sentative" Democrat is seen in the
fact that. while he denies the wisdom
and justice of laws to assure the man
ufaeturer a reasonable profit, he is
most insistent in demanding that no
law, state or national. shall deprive
railroad corporations. or other corpo-
rations, of such profit He insists
that all laws shall be drafted with a
view 10 making it possible for cor
porate investors to make a reasonable
profit upon their investments. And
while he denounces a plan to vest the
officers of the government with power
to determine what a reasonable profit
in manufacturing should be. he de
nounces, with equal heat, every effort
made by officers of national or state
governments to ascertain the legiti-
mate cost of corporation management
and to lay down laws drawing lines be-
tween that figure and the one they
shall charge the public for their serv-
Ice. He contends that none but the ex-
perts of corporations themselves can
know the actual difference between
cost and cost price. and they won't
tell. Wherefore he says. in effect.
that all we can or should GO is to pass
such laws as will assure them a rea.
sonable profit and let it go at that.
Such inconsistencies as this have
made the Democratic party a joke.
The men guilty of them seem never
to see them, or to realize their gro
tesqueness and absurdity. Meanwhile
their party is dying. being tickled to
death with laughing at them.-St

OF her New England clerical great
grandfather, who was a man Of in
genuity and resources. She says:
HE employed more than one device
to secure wakefulness on the part of
his weary congregation. Standing
during the prayer was but one of
many. My grandfather used to tell
us with pride Of an instance which &C.

his opinion by pausing in the midst Of
his sermon on Sunday, saying i'm

members of his congregation with a
stern look:
