UNION

SATURDAY. JANUARY 23. 1807.

IT is a measly legislature this winter that hasn't a baker's dozen of anti-trust bills before it for action.

IT is possible that there is such a thing as over-education. A professor of a western college enjoying a vacation in Boston, has been convicted of stealing books from the public library there.

AFTER the paroxysm of patriotism that struck the senate with the introduction of the Cuban resolutions of Senator Cameron, it is likely that the whole matter will be postponed until after the new administration comes into power.

DR. NANSEN, the Norwegian Arctic exploier, has been engaged for a lecture tour of this country next season. He will begin about the middle of October a series of fifty illustrated lectures describing his Polar expedition and experiences.

IT has just developed that President-elect McKinley is abase ball "fan" of the most pronounced type, while his opponent thinks that the man who admires baseball and patronizes it is fitted only for treason, strategem and spoils. No wonder McKinley won in this nation of baseball rooters.

THE Hon. Texas Angel is a Populist candidate for the United States senate from Idaho, to succeed Freddie Dubois, who took his silver dollars home and refused to play with the Republicans any longer. It is not out of order to ask what business can a Texas Augel have in Idaho, and is the Texas variety any different from the kind in general use

THAT will be a peculiar state of affairs for Kansas when the next Senate meets, that of being represented in that body by an ex-rebel, W. A. Harris, the Populist selected as Senator Peffer's successor having fought in the rebel army. It is probably the first instance on record where one of the Union states has been represented in the senate si nee the war by an ex-rebel.

TIIK members of the Indianapolis city council, the nasty mean things, have enacted an ordinanco makiug it an offense punishable by fine for a woman to wear a hat in a theater. The women will probably retaliate by petitioning the same body to pass an ordinance prohibiting men from going out between acts to see a friend. One is as great a nuisance as the other.

TIIK Republicans have gained four senators as a result of the senatorial elections this week, Wiu. E. Mason succeeding John M. Palmer in Illinois, Thos. C. Piatt, succeeding David B. Hill in New York, Chas. W. Fairbanks replacing D. W. Voorhees in this state, and John F. Spooner taking W. F. Vilas's place in Wisconsin. They lost none, while there are deadlocks in Idaho, South Dakota, Washington and Oregon. ___________________

THE Supreme court has decided that the South Carolina dispensary liquor law, which made Senator Tillman a political possibility in that state, is unconstitutional in the clause which forbids a resident of the state from taking liquor into the state for his own use. This is a violation of the Inter-Stato Commerce a law. The decision, it is claimed, will practically kill the law. about the enforcement of which there has been so much scandal. The law has become very unpopular, which is not to be wondered at whenjit is understood that it raises the price of whiskey to the consumers.

WE hear a great deal about the bad laws that are passed by "granger" legislatures, hut in the east the newspapers will welcome a "granger" assembly as a relief from a lawyers' legislat ure. The Massachusetts legislature contains more than the usual uumber of lawyers this year, which leads an eastern paper to remark that as a remill "there will be more wrangling, more pettifogging, more junketing, more fussing over legal forms, more padding of statute forms, more evolution in phraseology. more involution in expression, more sunken pits in the enactments for courts and people to fall into and get lost, and a bigger blue book, which is no doubt as true •f other states as of Massachusetts.

DELAWARE is well supplied with candidates for senator to fill the vacancy in her representation in the higher branch of congress. Henry Dupont, of the powder making family of that name, presented credentials at the last session of congress as senator from Delaware, but his claims were overruled. There is a regular legislature In Delaware now. and a "rump" affair, the latter composed of the Republican adherents of one J. Edward Addicks. who is openly attempting to buy his way into the senate. The regulars have elected a free silver Democrat to the position that has been vacant since March S, 1S6. while the "rump" concern has elected Addicks.

Now it is said that the attempt of the free silver Republicans in the senate to block all legislation by that body has caused several of the gold standard Democraticsenators to decide in favor of voting for Dupont when his case is taken up again. In order that the Republicans may have a working majority in the next senate.

With three applicants knocking at the senate door for admission from Delaware, each with claims to be presented, the senate is likely to have a right merry time. Whatever is done, it is to be hoped, at least that that body will not even consider the claims of Addicks, who is a representative of all that is deplorable and corrupt in politics, and who was turned down in the Republican national convention last June because, as the report against him said, he was a highwayrpan on the way to political preferment, he and his associates caring but little how that preferment might be gained.

FOR the first time since 1887 the state of Indiana, after the 4th of March next, will have a Republican senator, in the person of Charles Warren Fairbanks, who was elected on Wednesday to succeed Daniel W. Voorhees. Mr. Fairbanks has arrived at an age when he can become of great service to his state and his country in the upper house of congress, and there is every reason to believe that he has the ability and ambition to make himself useful and distinguished. He is pledged to advance a sound financial policy, and is in favor of a policy of protection, the carrying out of which will bring prosperity to this country, and credit to all who may participate in its preparation.

A FEW months ago movers in municipal reforms quoted as an illustration of what can be done by municipal ownership of street railways, lighting and water plants, etc., the experience of Glasgow, Scotland, which, it is said, had done so wall under municipal ownership, that beginning with the year 1897, it would be freed from municipal taxes of all kinds The officials of that corporation have been burdened since then with inquiries from American cities asking for facts and figures relating to this wonderful work, and it develops that the city Is not to do without taxes, nor is there any possibility of its being exempt from taxation. It is quite evident that such an Utopian state of affairs could not exist, but it required official notice of the fact to convince some of those who have plans for municipal reform.

TIIK jealousies so characteristic of Ohio politicians are again coming to the surface in the contest for the senatorial seat that will be made vacant if John Sherman accepts the position of secretary of state in President McKinley's cabinet. Mark Hanna wants the position, and so does Governor Bushnell, and as the latter is affiliated with the Foraker crowd, which opposes Sherman and McKinley, it is said that rather than appoint Hanna, he will call a special session of the Ohio legislature to elect Sherman's successor, and will be a candidate for the position himself. The political jealousies haye made it possible for Ohio, with an overwhelming Republican majority, to have one Democratic senator almost continuously since the war. It isn't possible for the rivalry to result in the election of a Democrat to succeed Sherman at present, but there is no telling what may happen before the senatorial election in 1899.

THE advantage of having a great name and a strong political pull behind it is illustrated in the experience of a son of Fitzhugh Lee, ex-governor of Virginia, and at present consul general at Havana. The boy failed to pass the January examinations at West Point, to which he had been appointed, and he was expelled, as a butcher's or baker's or candlestick-maker's son would have been had he failed to pass the required exmanination. A student discharged from the military academy because of his inability to pass the examinations cannot be reappointed except the Academic board, in charge of the examinations, recommends it. A great howl was raised among the F. F. V.'s when it became known that the historic name of Lee had been stricken from the roster of West Point because of incompetency, just as an ordinary common person would have been treated, and a movement was set on foot to restore the historic name to the roster. It has succeeded and the Academic board has approved his reappointment to the academy. The possession of the historic blue blood evidently doesn't make any more of a man of him, or he would never consent to go back to West Point in an inferior class, after having been discharged in disgrace.

TIIK ministers of New York City have started a movement to reform the Sunday newspapers of that city, and if possible to do away with them altogether. One of the methods which they propose to pursue is to have all women who are opposed to the Sunday newspapers to discriminate against the merchants who advertise in the Sunday issues, a method of boycott that is likely to render very popular those merchants who do advertise in the first issue of the week. One of the arguments used by the preachers against the Sunday paper Is a list of headlines taken from a recent Sunday collection of metropolitan papers. Here is a partial list of the headlines to which they objected as being too bad to be introduced into the home, especially on a Sunday morning: "Gossip of Court," "The Buzzard Gang," "A Woman Burned to Death," "Vagrants," "Smuggled Goods," "A Bogus Divorce Suit," "An Eloping Husband," "A Mock Marriage Scandal," "A Chained and Beaten Wife," "Bride Arrested," "Defalcation," "Forgery," "Convicted of Assaulting Miss Emerson," "Murder," "Strangled His

Wife," "Shot His Brother," "Robbed," "Killed," "Abhorrent Scenes in a Tropical Cemetery," "Failure," "Pacific Express Robbery," "Three Wives Living," "Suicide," "Violently Insane," "MurderTrial" "Dynamiters," "Rowdies," "He Pointed a Revolver and Threatened to Shoot Her if She Did Not Marry Him," "Desperate Murderer Arrested," "Witness Saw Clara and Traphayen In a Compromising Position." "Snubbed," "Disgrace," "An Illegitimate Child," "A Glove Fight," "Elegant Baltimore Girl for a Mistress," "Defaulting Teller," "Good Gracious! Too Thin," "Blew Out his Brains with a Pistol." "The Wahrtless Dress." The preachers will find before they are through with their fight on the Sunday newspapers that they will bane furnished the latter an amount ot advertising for which they

would be glad to pay a good price, and aroused a curiosity among those who perhaps may not have been patrons that will augment the sales. The same time and energy devoted to fighting the evil one would bring more practical results than all the crusades they may inaugurate against the Sunday newspaper.

THE Democrats of Tennessee can give the New York Tammany and other notable organizations a fe\V pointers on how to prevent their political opponents from enjoying the fruits of victory. Two years ago when Henry Clay Evans was fairly elected governor of Tennessee, but was counted out, he made a pontest for the office as a Republican. The Democratic legislature enacted a law providing for a contest, proceeded with it, and counted Evans out, over the protest of the leading Democratic papers and politicians of the state, paying the expenses of the contest out of the state treasury. Last November, Tillman, the Republican candidate for governor was defeated, apparently by about 6,000 votes, but claiming that he was fairly elected, he filed notice of contest, whereupon, when the Democratic legislature met, it made a new law compelling a contestant for the office of governor to give security for $25,000, to cover the costs of contest. It was simply a notice to the contestant that he would have to pay $25,000 for the honor of being allowed to appear before the legislature for the office of governor, with an assurance that the legislature would count him out. Naturally he withdrew from the contest. The party in power in Tennessee evidently is afraid of an investigation of their methods of election down there.

Tills Is Certainly a Wonderful Chance We are aware that our people who suffer from nervous, chronic and long-standing complaints do not have the same opportunity to be cured as do the residents of the great cities where the most eminent physicians and specialists reside. Dr. Greene, of 35 west Fourteenth street, New York City, who has the largest practice in the world and who is without doubt the most successful specialist in curing all forms of nervous and chronic diseases, offers to give free consultation by mail to all sufferers. Write to him at once about your case. He will surely cure you.

THE BED ROLL.

Combinations of Drapery Which Prodnce Pleasing .Effects In the Bedchamber.

Beds are very dressy affairs these days. An object of great admiration recently in a store window was a bed made up with blue silk and blue mousseline de soie. The spread fell over the sides, nearly touching the floor, the border ruffle being of the mousseline over the silk. In this case there were square down pillows, instead of a roll, each finished with a wide ruffle. Marie Antoinette lace spreads over a color are sumptuous, and, when possible, window curtains should match. A combination of renaissance lace and Marie Antoinette effects produces a gorgeous drapery or spread. Irish point bed sets have been selling as low as $5. In Frenchy look­

ing bedrooms the favored spread is one of chintz or cretonne in colors to match f.bft decorations. Cotton fabrics for this purpose are a great specialty of upholstery sections and range from 48 cents to |1 per yard. These spreads should be lined and finished round the mattress edge with a heavy cotton cord. They may bang over the sides finished with a fringe or tuck in according to fancy. Very dainty youthful bed covers are Of silk or satin covered with made up spreads of laco insertion and puffings. The roll shown is covered with one of these fancy arrangements and finished at the ends with wide frills of lace and ribbon bows. Satin coverlids In delicate silks, hand embroidered, are also fashionable luxuries.

Its Amusing Side.

There is an amusing side to the story of how the female suffrage bill came to pass the New Zealand parliament. The government promoted the bill in accordance with electoral pledges and supported it with every show of enthusiasm in the assembly. But they did not want it to pass and relied upon the upper house to throw it out The majority of life senators are in the sear and yellow leaf, some of them having sat sin^e the colony obtained self government, and have to be trundled down to the house in bath chairs when occasion arises. Unfortunately the female suffrage bill came on at an hour when the veterans on whom ministers relied for rejecting it had hobbled off to bed. Before they could be brought back to the house in blankets the matter had gone too far, and the bill for female suffrage became law, to the consternation of those who had only made a show of desizing it.

TERKE HATTTE SATTXKDAY EVENING MAIL, JANUARY 23, 1897.'

YOUNG, CAMP'S. LUCE

CRIPPLED NEWSBOY FALLS HEIR TO •40,000.

Lofft Both His Legs Under a Cable Car. His Father Left Him a Farm Near Spokane, Wcuh.—Youngster Plans Investments.

In a month from now little Charles Gamp will not sell newspapers any more. He will go to Spokane, Wash., as soon as spring arrives to take possession of the estate bequeathed hiui by his father.

Though he is a cripple and has been pompelled to help support his widowed mother, young Camp has not been unhappy. Now, however, he is more than happy. He need no longer sell papers early in the morning on his corner, where Ashland boulevard and Madison street, Chicago, cross each other. The estate left him by his father in the state of Washington is valued at $40,000. It consists of a large farm, with valuable improvements.

Charles is only 18 years old, and in appearance is a bright and businesslike lad. Four years ago he was the victim of an accident in which he was run over by a Milwaukee avenue cable train. Both his legs were cut off and he must sit in the chair with which he moves about. During the last three years he has been stationed at Ashland avenue and Madison street, where he hardly ever missed his custoniers a day. They know the boy and helped increase his business, so that many people who take the cable cars down town every morning now are accustomed to buy their morning papers from Charles Camp, who sits beside his stand in his chair on the corner in weather of all kinds. With his mother the boy lives at 158 Ogden avenue, where Mrs. Camp partly supports herself by keeping a cigar store and newsstand. "What will you do with all your money when you get it?'' Charlie was asked as he was going home from his corner after having sold his bundle of newspapers. 'I'll wait till I get it. There will be no trouble about finding what to do with if." "How about your paper selling business?" "I am going to leave that. Next month my mother and I will go to Washington to take possession of father's estate. The farm is worth just about $40,000, and we will have no trouble any more about having enough to live on. If we don't decide to live in Spokane or near there all the time, my mother may sell the farm. Then I'll invest the money in something—some line of business or other.'' "Have you any preference for some business you would like to take up, now that you have enough money to satisfy you?'' "Oh, I don't care much, but I am glad I don't have to sell papers all my life. After I leave this corner I expect to have an easier time of it. Before I go I suppose I shall treat all the boys I know and who have helped me."

Then he went homo with the assistance of Willie Adams, who kept the stand with Charlie Camp and who was befriended while a waif several years ago by Mrs. Camp.

More than ten years ago Mathias Camp and his wife were legally separated in Spokane. The woman came east with her child, Charlie, and since then has lived in Chicago. Eighteen months ago Camp died, leaving his property to his son. But the mother and fthild could not be fouyd by the executor of the estate. They placed notices in Chioago papers several months ago asking for information as to the whereabouts of Ann Camp or her son Charles. An attorney read one of these advertisements and in response went to work to find the beneficiaries of the will. Recently h© succeeded, and in so doing brought joy into a home which had seen very dark days.

For the first time in his short life Charles Camp has reason to be really happy despite the fact that he is crippled and almost helpless. In the past he has gone through the experience of his parents separating, narrowly escaped death and was maimed under the wheels of a oable car, was deprived by an attorney, it is said, of nearly all the money paid for his injuries by the street railway company and from that time on had to sell newspapers every day, in winter and summer alike. But little Charles Camp is as happy now as any boy who has not met with such misfortunes and expects to live to see his wealth increase to be much greater than it is now.—Chicago Evening Post

Short Wheat Crop In Australasia.

The wheat crop of Australasia for the coming harvest is so short, according to estimates reported to the state department by Consul Bell at Sydney, that it will reduce that country from her position as sixth wheat exporting country of the globe to about the eleventh wheat importing country. Instead of being an exporter of about 12,000,000 bushels per year, Australasia will have to import not far from 5,000,000 bushels to supply the deficiency for short crops. This will be of considerable benefit to America, for not only will the United States Supply thA chief part of the deficiency, bat she will also make good a large part of the world's deficiency caused by the loss of Australasia's crop. With a failure in India and a short crop throughout Europe, there will be no trifling advantage to United States wheat growers.
