VOTES AGAIN.

This Timo t?i< Illinois >■ nat* Adopts t* ■ Forrvux Land BilL hi .■ ingfleld, 111., April —The senate pa- 1 the Torrens land title hill this m , u with 'only three dissenting vol Those voting in opposition to the bill were Senators Crawford, Hcwell and Campbell of Hamilton. The bill was defeated last Thursday, receiving only nineteen votes, seven less than a constitutional majority, but this morning thirty-one members voter for it, and the eighteen votes against it last Saturday dwindled down to three. The bill was brought before the body as a special order on Humphrey’s motion to reconsider the vote by which the measure was lost. This motion prevailed by a vote of thirty-two yeas to one nay. The bill was then passed. This measure provides for the simplification of the land transfer system of the state, ‘ abolishing the necessity of abstracts and of costly examinations of litl >s. and substituting in their place a system of, registry by which it becomes as • any to s'-ll or buy a parcel of land as to transfer a registered government bend or a bunch of stock. Each parcel of realty will be given a page in the books . of a public registrar, who win issue c rtificates to the owners, duplicati the entries on the register. Ail that will be necessary to transf r a piece of land under the Torrens system will be to have the transfer made on the reg ••ter, and ■ to procure the issue of a new certificate ; to the purchaser. ’.Xs every lien upon i property, in order to be valid, must be ■ ent' red upon the certificate and upon the books, the extmt status of a yk .•>_■ of ;u’oj tty will b< apparent at a • giam-e : nd the uncertainty and red taie of realty transfer will be reduced i to a minimum.

Newton Walters, about 19 years old, son of JA re.: Walters, was evidently infatuated with Dolly Cox, but the latter aid nut erne for him. Yesterday morning young Walterrwmt to the Cox pixie and wan: -d ti e two boys to go to the river with l i.n after ducks. The thr.-e st:.red out, taking a with.them. Mr. Co.: was absent on business and the girl was le'i at the house alone. About noon Walters returned to the house alone ami told Dolly that he and her brother.had <-*ught some young squirrels aa-1 wanted a box to put them in. The girl went into the yard after a squirrel tr. p, and Walters followed her; and. catching her, threw bis arms ar -und her, and pointing a ifi. tol at her, told her that he would kill her. and iftf-»rni«-d her that her two brothers had been killed.

FEW CHANGES NEEDED.

Civil-Scr; ;■ <• Ccminlssioner Roosevelt Tait,r of i’edoral Olliees. Wnshhi.;ion, April ■!.—Civil Service Cornv.fi "j. ok f Roosevelt is thoroughly committed to the doctrine of including man;,- mo; offices under the civil service re:- : . s’p, >•; on this subject to a reporter, lie said: have got to have ci'll service reform n<>t only in the nation but in the slate aad the municipality. If you wish an illustration of t'. fact that the service r< ndered by a ijo:arnnst r has nothing to do with bis polities let me refer you to I’crhi■ r Zumstein of Cincinnati. who Ims jus!. 1" on supplanted i v Postmaster Brown an:! who himself four y<-.-;rs ago rvppluni< d Postmaster Rib v. Mr. Zumstcin was a republican.' For over two years he lias served under tie democratic postmaster-general,' Mr. Bissell. All through Mr. Bissell’s term, of service Mr. Zumstcin has been postmaster at Cincinnati. Nobody would know from any result visible in the operation of the post.-.l service that Postmaster Zumstcin was of one polities or another. He has given during this time precisely as good service as Postmaster Sullivan of Brooklyn or Postmaster Hc.slng at Chicago, both of them dcmocr ats. “It is just as absurd to turn out a letter-carrier because lie voted the wrong ticket no it would be to refuse goods delivered by an expressman who is out of sympathy with the dominant party. In •: great many postoffices throughout the country all the work is done by the assist mt postmaster, who is permanently retained. Ho could do his work Quite as well if there were not a postmaster. “There .will Ito no need of changing more than 100 officials in the treasury department to make a complete and radical revlsal in the tariff or financial policy of the government.”

DRIVES OUT BUTTER

War to He Made on British Dealers Uho Sell Olcomargine for Hutter. London, April 3.—The Butter association—a syndicate of merchants interested in the foreign butter trade—has raised a fund of $20,000 for the purpose of conducting ;> vigorous campaign against retail traders throughput the i country who make it a business of selling oleomargarine as pure butter. The ' officers of the association say they have | no antagonism to the American prod- ■ uct, when sold openly and above board, j and object only to its being palmed off as the simon-pure product of the dairy. It is a remari r -le tact that the competition of American oleomargarine and Australian dairy butter has literally ' driven English butter out of the whole- . sale market, and for months past no quotations upon the home product have i been obtainable. Official figures show , that for the six months ending March 1 75,000 tons of oleomargarine and butter ' were imported into the country.

IOWA MULCT LAW.

St rite Supreme Court Decide? the treasure Is (onet'tu tonal. Des Heines, lowa, April 3.—ln the case of the state of lowa vs. J. .1 Forkner and VZ. M. Moore, involving the mulct liquor law, the Supreme court yesterday held the law to be constitutional. It was insisted first that the act was unconstitutional because the title does not sufficiently set forth the purpose es the law. This point is overruled. It was argued that the law gave to voters of certain cities power to abrogate a prohibitory law, a power which the legislature can not delegate. The court answers that the mulct law is a general law, applicable to all communities. The last poin raised was that the law is unconstitutional because it grants to people of localities the pardoning power. The court says the law does not remit any fines or forfeitures, for none is imposed. Judge Hinn filed a lengthy dissenting opinion.

Hence it became necessary for tr.a government for the suppression of i.. e sense of individuals, bat in ob<'. n 3 •> Its* obligations to protect iri.er.'Lote commerce, and because-it is the duty of every government to exorcise its tions whenever occasion requires.” Mr. Olney passed cm to the consideration of the means at the command of the government to step in, not only in destrike, the principal of which wa:4 ti.e courts, which must be depended upon so far as practicable to deal with it.
