The Legislature.

Usually the first lew days after tie !
legislature has convened there Is con-
siderable discussion, advice, fault'tnding |
aud admouitiom about the legislature |
being so tardy Ia getting to work, idly |
passing a great portion OF the time dur
mo the first of the session aud then at
the close rushing the WOlk through so
hastily as to produce bad legislation.
of course there is some foundation for
criticism, at the same time there are
very many things about our legislative
work that are not open to common ob-
seryation.
The work accomplished by our legis-
lators averages we'll enough; but IN
order to have this result some must
work very hard to compensate for some
either idle or incompetent perhaps both
A common observer at the state house
when the legislature convenes would
very likely wonder that the members
did not proceed Immediately to work
the first day, not knowing or not think
ing that there was then nothing to do
aud nobody to do it. In the first place
a legislative body can't 60 to work un-
til it is organized, and it is no small job
to arrange the committees, especially in
the House. These committees have to
be organized out of material, the great
er part that is new in legislation,
brought from all parts of the state,
many of them almost unknown. 1t
takes time and patient work to assign
so many comparative strangers to
places aud to work for which they are
best adapted. And nothing is more
important to the efficient working than
an intelligent discerning enquiry into
the character of themembers and plac-
ing them where they will do the most
work. nice, well-ftted organization
of the general assembly cannot well be
effected short of week, perhaps two ;
and on the other hand members at the
beginning of the session cannot sever
themselves and their attention from
home pursuits and settle contentedly
aud inteligently to the work of legisls-
ton.
OF course there is very much time
heedessly wasted, and when the mem.
bers get confidence very many of them
lumber up the work with useless and
inconsiderate bills.
Still it is a wonder that our legisla-
ture, composed as it is, gets on as ex-
peditiously as it does. The interest of
every location is and ought to be rep
resented, and this cannot be done with
out large number of representatives
widely varying IN capacity and cbaract-
eristics.
With such a man as Frank (. Howe
of Bennington for speaker and man
as widely proficient in all legislative
matters as Gov. Mead to direct and ad-
wise we may well hope that our coming
legislature will be organized with skill,
dispatch aud efficiency; and that the
members will go quickly to the con-
structiou of such laws as are required
aud as little legislation as will be con-
sistent with the wants of the people.
With Col Dale representing the
county in the Senate ana Harry b.
Amey, Esq, the town of Brighton in
the House, the Herald hopes to keep
\ its readers well informed on all legisla-
tive affairs.

The campaign conducted by Butler
Ames against Senator Lodge had most
of its noise in the public press it appears
from the primaries which have in al

candidacy of Senator Lodge. The sup

tions of Congressman Ames has been
very meagre, the Lowell man having
made but scant Roadway outside of his

DR.. COOK RETURNS
EXPLORER STILL FIRM IN HIS
BELIEF THAT HE REACHED
THE NORTH POLE.
Says He Has Come Back to America
for the Purpose of Rehabilitating
Himself BY Setting Matters
Right With Countrymen.

New York.-Dr. Frederick A. Cook
came back to his native land on
Thursday on the steamship George
Washington as calmly as if there had
never been a north pole controversy.
He said little. A typewriter inter
view, handed to reporters, embraced
all that he had to say, with the ex-
ception of the necessary formalities OF
conversation thrust on him by inter-
viewers.
OF far more dramatic interest was
a heated controversy among the
steamship passengers concerning the
impression he had made on them. The
doctor asserted that he believed he
was at the pole.
His statement in part follows:
II have no statement to make other
than that which | carefully prepared.

misleading also, so / shall not now

porting to come from me will not be

CAUGHT UNDER FALLING WALLS
twenty-five Firemen Meet Death in
Endeavor to Subdue Fire in
Chicago Stock Yards.

Chicago men met
at the stock yards in this city on
Thursday, the fire not having been
gotten under control until Friday
morning
The original fire started from the
bursting of an ammonia pipe in Nor.
ris & Companys beef house, Forty
third and Loomis streets. This caused
spontaneous combustion. While the
firemen were busy fighting the flames,
another explosion of cold air in the
beef refrigerator of the sane plant
caused the burning wall to topple
over on the firemen.
James Horan. fire chief, and a per
sonal friend of Mayor Busse, was
among the victims. The other men
who met death were firemen.
Apparently maddened by the death
of their chief, firemen threw them
selves recklessly into the work Of
clearing away the fallen wall all day
long. More than fifty men dropped
from exhaustion and were carried
back from the intense heat of the
burning warehouse.
Not since the days following the
lroquois theatre tragedy, which, like
the disaster of Thursday. was q holi-
day time horror, have such pathetic
scenes attended a fire in Chicago.
The bodies of victims were taken
to undertaking rooms near the fire.
Widows and children of the dead men
frantically crowded into the places.
The bodies were so badly mutilated,
in most cases, that the police would
not permit the relatives to view them.
In several instances women struggled
madly with policemen in attempts 10
see their dead.
Mayor Busse late Thursday called o
special meeting of the city council.
which selected a committee of fifteen
aldermen to take charge OF relief
work for families of the dead and to
make funeral arrangements. At the
same time meeting was held at the
chicago club, and wealthy business
men started a relief fund. Theatre
managers also prepared to hold per-
formances.
