Arrangements hove been mado for a joint debate in Minneapolis, the teat of March, between Ignatius Donnelly and Robert G. Ingersoll npon the astbonhip of Shakespeare.

There to no such thing as converting a disciple of Bbakeapear* or of Bacon.

There to no aisposition on the part of the public to interfere in the Mnatortei contest which baa occupied the entire aceaion of tho Illinois Legislature, but each additional ronnd in th* fight increases the general disgust. This episodo and others of a aimiter nature, which have frittered away the time of a number of State Legislatures this winter, serves to increase and emphasize the rapidly growing sentiment that the election of Senator* should be placed in the hands of the people.

For many years the necessity of increasing the capacity of the Supreme Court for work has been admitted. First another judge was added, and that exhausting tho limit of the constitution and being insufficient, a temporary commission was crusted which accomplished a great deal of work. An attempt to create a second failed because of unconstitutionality. Now a measure to create an appellate court, which shall dispose of a large class of cases, has been proposed^ but meets with an unexpected quantity of opposition. Whv should this be? It seems to be the only method-of correcting an eyil that everybody admit* should be corrected, and which is working great lot* to litigants every year.

Doe# Mr. McKinley know that wages in England have risen 50 per cent since the repeal of the corn tews? And does he not know that a re-enactment of those laws would create a famine in Great Britain? Does he know that now in New York City a careful estimate by the New York World declares that there are d50,U00 people living from band to month who do not know when they have had one meal how or where they are going to get the next, and tn*t of these, 100,000 are •killed laborer*, artisans of all kinds, ’longshoresmen, etc.?

Thk Federation of labor, with its commendable insistence of equal pav for equal work, makes a mistake, we think, when it proceeds from this premise, as Mr. Uontpera did ia hia speech last night, to the conclusion of woman suffrage. That to founded in a misconception of the fundamental elements and true development of human nature and its attainment would be the worst blow to womanhood ever struck at It, and, by inevitable reaction, to manhood. It would makt confusion more confounded, a cake if standards of attainment and end in demoralisation and degradation. But th* further stand that the Federation takes for the equality of the black man as a laborer, without prejudice, to a great thing. In it may lie the germ of a eolation of the "negro problem” that politicians have not yet reckoned. All reforms come from below, and the American workman demanding that color of skin shall deny ao man the frutta of hie thill nor his enjoyment of them as a man, may create a force in a flair* that shall go a long ways toward permanent relations of the black and the

Equal Pay for Kquffl Work. The address of President Gompera, president of the American Federation of Labor, was euthostestkally received last night by n large audience assembled in Tomlinson Ball. ^ Bis advocacy of trade* union* met with a hearty response. The principle of federation, the value of organiaation, are maivenally accepted at th* present day ao oaseaUal to th* cause of labor.

In th* other Houoe a bill to allow raburbun roods to com* into tho city over tracks already laid on the paymont of a fair rental was whirled hack from it* paorago with aa effrontery that would leave little to he desired by any lobby.

The able legislator who declared that tho prceent street-ear monopoly had not obstructed street* with its tracks to keep other companies out waa not posted, and it to hi* business to inform himself. He and others are serving on* of the meanest monopolies oa the round globe; a monopoly that perpetually violates the tew, ond to now seeking to wall the city in helpless from having a single chance of transportation except what it chooses, in defiance of orders and ordinances, to

give.

Elsewhere tew compels existing streetcar companies to allow the nse of their tracks to other companies on payment of rental. The demand of the lobby here, and thus far the compliance of legislators, is that no matter what company should give ns a needed line from a suburb, it can not come into town (the present company having blocked all available •treet* with it* rails). Washington street 120 feet wide ia considered a* the sole property for transportation purposes of the present monopoly, and so with all of onr streets. Meanwhile, the same monopoly and it* corrupt lobby is fighting law compelling it to pave any of these streets. It not only will have their sole ovnersbio, but it will keep them filthy mule track*. That is the kind of work which the Legislature of Indiana is lending itself to by opposing these bills. Is the Democratic party, the party of tha people, opposed to monopolies? Or ia it the servant of monopolies, wearing their collars? Its action on these streetcar bills and the city charter will throw light on this question.

* The I.esrl»lnftire’» Wuty. The citizens’ committee last night made a ringing protest to the Legislature against the partisanizing of the new city charter, and a meeting of citizens to-morrow night will follow it up with another. Indianapolis has a right to be heard. It is not a privilege, but a right, which she asks. The Legislature is not hearing her. On the contrary, it is listening to a small gang of ward heelers and petty political intriguers. We protest against it in the name of a hundred thousand honest, industrious citizens, who hold the welfare of their city above all aelfish interests and outside of politics. This charter was the result of months of patient investigation and untiring labor. The committee most actively in charge consisted of nine men. Politically those nine men are divided—five Democrats and four Republicans, but they were one in their agreement as to this charter. As men of affairs they are merchants, manufacturers, bankers, lawyers, accountant* and men of direct familiarity with public duties from having held office. Rack of them stands the host of honest citizens of this town and declares that their labors as reflected in this charter is what it want# to make here a city in the interest of citizens and one of which the State can be proud as a capital. No one claims that the new charter is perfect. We do all claim that it was nearer perfect before the malodorous gang of heelers “got in their work” on it than it i* now, and we challenge any legislator to take th* three amendments now objected to and demonstrate wherein they are for the better interests of tl^e honest citizenship of this city. It its as nasty a "pull” as ever Boas Tweed and his legislative chattels worked on fi city, and w# beg the Legislature in the name of uprightness and the endangered prosperity of this city tfi aweep out th* whole corrupt “combine” and kill these three amendments—the one putting the power of confirming appointments in the hands of the Council, the other reducing the salaries and putting them in the hands of the Council, and the third fastening the City Clerk into the responsible office of

controller.

These amendments prostitute this naw form of government to the chance of control by the meanest and most corrupt elements in city life. They aeek to work thi* Moalt or use it as a club to defeat the charier altogether and leave us another two years tied np by the present aystem in which th* corporations who are "wolfing” th# city will still have their chance. A specimen of their doing the Legislature sees in the brazen lobby through which the street-car company is working now to fasten its fangs still tighter on the town and take in besides the suburbs, cutting ns off a helpless victim to its ruthless monopoly The triumph of this infamous intrigue will be an indelible stain upon the legislators and will sadly weaken the dominant party when next it asks for votes here. The mean hope of getting strength by striking bands with sordid palms With street-car agents, corporation servants and Rreprt•enutives to the Legislature who are serving their end, will find arrayed again!* it the earnest indignation of dtixena, re-

gardless of party.

Thto to a city aflhir. We beg th* lAgiolatum aot to tie it up to party mane# raring. Give thto city tho thing that it ask* aad there will be ao politics to it. The mistakes, if any, will bo our own. Let ns have a two years’ trial of the charter as it stands, except th* thre* amendments: (I) Putting the confirmation of appnintwme to tho hands of th* Council; (I) putting their antorieo there; tf) putting

New Yore, February 10.—A magnificent scheme has been planned aad perfected by Mr. Chanter for sending art undents abroad to study. Mr. Chanter to the grest-grandeon of John Jacob Aster, and to* husband of Amelia Rive*. "While in Pari* last fall h* became interested ia the American art undent* aad their struggles aad hardships ia securing aa education. He returned last November, and, after much thought, he devised a plan which be laid before about twenty New York connoisseurs aad patron* of art. Ho estimates as necessary annually for five year* study. He easily raised $25,000, bat desires to increase this'amount to 000. That, with the interest, will make it possible to send one student each rear for five rear*’ study. He bopes every large city in the United States will do this, and be has visited Chicago, Boston and other cities with every prospect of success to the plan. And now toe idea comes to him not to confine this to stndents of painting, but also to embrace those of architecture, sculpture, music and the drama. This means the establishment of a veritable Beaux Arts, or system of education to embrace all tfce high arts. A cordial letter from Edwin Booth indorses the plan. Mr. Chase, president of the Society of American Artists, rejoices in iL Henry G. MarQosnd, president of the Metropolitan Museum, and the presidents of the Water Color Society and the Art Students’ League commend it enthusiastically. The money is to be held by an incorporated society, composed of the donors or others chosen bv them, inYheir own city. The candidate must be a resident of that State. Competitive drawing*, paintings and compositions will be examined by a jury composed of the presidents of the societies' just mentioned, with two artists selected bv’thera from those societies. They will al»o decide to what foreign city the successful candidate shall be sent. Everv thre# months the student is "to send back specimens of his work, signed by the instructor. These tball be judged by the jury, and if they fall below the standard the student loses all right and title to the fund, and another candidate will be called for. This will happen also in case of ill-health. At the end of the five years he or she will be under bonds to teach for two years gratuitously any class toe jury shall choose. The competition is open to all over twenty-one years of age—men and women. However, should the one gaining the prize be able to pay his own expenses, he will receive the title of "winner of the Paris prize,” and the funds will go to the competitor holding the sec-

ond place.

There is also a movement to establish an American Salon. This does not mean the formation of a new sodety, but the cooperation of all societies in a great annual exhibition. The Paris Salon, the leading exhibition of new paintings the world over, was inaugurated by Louis XIV in the royal palace. Napoleon Bonaparte proved himself above all patrons of art in establishing the Ecole des Beaux Arts, a school free to students of all nations, supported by the government, and in throwing open the doors of the Louvre to this annual exhibition of the works of every living painter which dame up to the standard. The name Salon was derived from the Salon Carre of the Louvre, where the pictures were hung. Now, however, the magnificent Palajs de L’Industrie is used and America is honored in haring Alexander Harrison one of the jurv. This suggestion of an American Salon has been enthusiastically received by the Society of American Artists, the Institute of Architects, the Architectural, the Society of American Wood Engravers, The American Fine Arts Society (which includes the Art Student’s League), the New York Etching Club, the Society of, Painters in Pastel, Society of Painters on Stone, the New York Water-color Society, the Water-color Club and the Metropolitan Museum. Only the National Academy of Design holds out against it. The N. A. D. has alwavs represented American associated art, and "it resents anything like competition. An editorial in the World on this 8ubjectsays:“HoWevv much it may dislike rivalry, It (the academy) must recognize it, and recognize it respectfully when it has attained to such proportions "us to support the well known societies named. American art is a good deal bigger than the academy, and if the academy declines to admit this fact its future is dismal but assured.” The twenty-fourth annual exhibition of the Water-color Society now at the N. A. D., shows 661 wajer-colors and etchings, many charming pictures, some very bad ones, and nothing remarkably fine. The prize of $300 has just been awarded to A. H. Wy/tnt, a veteran water-colorist. This prize is awarded by the ballots of the members cast during the first week of the exhibition. Out of a membership of 115 only twenty-one votes were cast. It is plain to be seen that such carelessness makes the securing of a prize an easy matter—a few friends can accoraplish it * An unique entertainment was enjoyed last evening at Mr. Chase’s palatial rooms in the studio building. The cream of MacAllister’s four hundred gathered there at midnight to see Carmencita dance. It was of necessity at that hour because the beautiful danseuse must come after the nsual performance at Koster A Bial’s. The affair was in charge of several society belles and proved a brilliant success. The ladies, exquisitely or superbly arrayed in evening toilets, received each a little wreath of flowers, red or orange, while the gentlemen in the conventional evening dress were decorated in tho bontonnieres of the same, ia honor of the Spanish maiden. In the larger room comfortable chairs had been placed. A c&leiam light behind threw a dazzling sheen on tne great stretch of white muslin background. Caimeneita, radiantly smiling, stood before ns in the brilliant light, from top to toe in white, except the small rosette of her own Spanish colors (red and orange) on herleftshonlder, from which hung dainty streamers of oor American red, white and blue. The beautiful white Spanish lace mantilla was gracefully thrown from the jet-black hair. Never could she have received a heartier or more

inspiring greeting.

Five Spaniards with mandolins and guitars kept time for the flying feet, the swaying body and the waving arm a At the end of the first pf rfonnance the bravos wera lond and toe applause long. A staff, with a massive, elaborately carved silver ton, all aflame with red and orange ribbona was carried to her. Then followed magnificent

Interesting Report of the Case

Kmincnt Lady Plijstclan.

;Burlington Clo.) special St. Louis Ulubs-Dcino-

etas.)

Last summer there was printed a long account of an extraordinary case at Amboy, ill., in which a young lady foil into a sleep or trance, about the 1st of April, and had been sleeping for eight or nine weeks. Some two weeks ago there was printed another special from Amboy, giving the startling information that Miss Gridley had just awakened from a nine months’ sleep. Dr. Mary B. Tattle, Burlington’s eminent lady physician, and secretary of th* Des Moines County Medical Association, became greatly interested in the case and went to Amboy to investigate the cose. The foUowiug is a brief synopsis of her report, which mill be read betore the coming meeting of th* medical association: “Arriving at Amboy, I went directly to Dr. Travers, family physician to the Gridleys. lie willingly gave me an outline of the case, with free permission to go to the house and study it at my leisure. I was kindly received by the Gridleys. The family consists of father, mother and three children, a son about twenty-four and two daughters, one Miss Grace, aged twentytwo, aud a younger one; also th* fair sleeper’s sunt, Mrs. Garrison, who has charge of the girl during her strange sleep. I found that while mauy qf th* newsoaper stories were somewhat exaggerated as to the condition of the sleeping girl, yet that on the whole th* reports were fairly correct. In January, 1390, Miss Grace had a violent attack of la grippe, making a slow recovery. The latter part of March she began sleeping later than usual, and on April 1 she could not be roused. Physicians were called, but nothing could be done for fortyeight hours. During this time she appeared perfectly natural, except the color gradually faded from the checks, tbelips were slightly parted, and covered with a white film. Muscles perfectly relaxed, pulse and temperature normal. "On the third day Dr. Travers applied a strong galvanic current, completely arousing her. She sat up, expressed no surprise, but talked rationally and without the least emotion, describing'her sensations during the three days. She said both her mental and physical sufferings were indescribable. The physical was priecipally from lying in the same position. Sh* said she was perfectly conscious and knew all that waa being done for her. could both Me and hear, but was utterly powerless to move a

muscle.

"The following day again the deep sleep

began to steal over her, and again was th* battery applied, it roused her for a moment, ana she shrieked oat ms if in intense agony, piteously entreating to be let alone. The current was, however, turned on stronger and stronger, and sh* rose up in bed. Dr. Travers picked her up, but she slipped back on th* bed, and, in spite of the application of a powerfuLuninterrupted galvanic current, she sank into the aeep sleep she has maintained during an interval of almost ten months. Muscles were relaxed, poise and temperature normal, chest and abdomen moving in respiration, but the breathing inaudible. Nourishment was given in liquid form by means of

She made bo effort at swallowing.

Thto continued until the became perfectly exhausted. At times she would have spell* of sneezing, of picking the face or scratching toe head.
