IRA BAGS' EliaoKAxnE;oar.:K2iK,! .... Enteral uttis Ju.r n-VmH n t- FRIDAY. JANUARY i 17 Senator Stewart, of Kevada, bobs up with a proposition to bold a presidential election every two years. This leads the Globe-Dem ocrat to remark that the Senator is an Apache on the trail of legimate trade, and his silver tomahawk is never jdle. It is in order to remind some critics that the republican party is not responsible for the present con dition of public affairs. But if anr body wants to speak about the next administration, or the next after that, the republicans are ready to assume the pressure. Ex. It is an odd fact that the Colo rado senate has issued an order ex cluding- women from the floor during- business hours. The women of Colorado are full-fledged voters, and the day may come when they will have a majority in tbe legisla ture. The precedent established may then be awkward. While Joaquin Miller was walking- along- the street in Seattle re cently, a man approached him, and, without saying- a word, lifted the poet's beard and examined the right side of his neck. Then he remark ed, "Yes, you are Joaquin Miller." Naturalty, the man was asked to explain this singular behavior, whereupon he said that forty-odd 3Tears ago he had pulled a poisoned arrow from Miller's neck, and ex tracted the venom from the wound. The poet remembered the occur rence, and a few minutes later the two old men were fighting all over ajrain an Indian skirmish that took place on Shasta. a shoulder of Mount A robber disguised as a woman who asked for a lift in a Pennsyl vania farmer's wagon was careless enough to get out to pick up a whip that the driver dropped in the road. The farmer had seen through the disguise and took advantage of the opportunity to cluck to his horse and make his escape, closely fol lowed by several shots from the bad join's revolver. It was a close call, but it paid. The thief left a valise in the wagon containing nearly $500 in coin, besides a choice assort ment of burglars' tools and some interesting firearms. The honest agriculturist offers to restore the money and goods to the robber it he will only call around in the day time to claim his property. The American Agriculturist re cently published reports from vari ous sources showing that great pro gress has been made in the manu facture of beet sugar in the United States. One of the Spreckles fac tories at Watsonville, Cal., paid out for beets and labor last year not less than $750,000. During the past eight years it has disbursed over $3,000,000 on the same account or an average of $1,000 a day since it has started work, and has pro tected the whole section from dis tress during- the hard times. Last year the mill handled 120,000 tons of beets and the crop was not all harvested until nearly Christmas. Over 900 cattle are being fed at the creamery, mostly with beet pulp, and 7,129 tons of sugar were turned out as the produce of about four month's work. L, C. BEATMAX.late populist can didate for governor of Maine and populist leader in New England, re cently said: From one end of the country to the other the populists are demanding a reorganization of our forces, and that henceforth we have nothing whatever to do with the democrats. The moment we fuse with that party it forever pre vents us from gaining any converts from the republicans. We shall Ueep straight in the middle of the road in the future. The democrats may adopt anything they please for a platform; it will not influence us in the slightest degree. We are forever done with them. Neither do we want anything- more of Mr. Bryan or his issue. Free coinage is a humbug- at best. It would not add $3 per capita to our circulating medium. It is extremeh doubtful if it ever goes into our platform again. The New Yook Sun is raising the question. "Should old bachelors marry?" Certainly they should, and the sooner the better. The best thing in this world to any man of soul is a good wife. A man can scarcely be said to begin to live until he has loved and married. Lite in old age is full of dreariness in some upper room of a boarding house. It is no use in saying "mar riage is a lottery." There are mil lions of good women in the land waiting to make homes of comfort and peace and happiness for the millions of bachelors who are hesi tating. There are good reasons why many men and many women do not marry, and they are valid. But that does not change the fact jmWH?.

Tho con test had been so long drawn out and tho battle so fierce that the legislators wcro in a mood to be stampeded at any moment as tho hour for the caucus drew near and tho sudden shifting of the Cook county forces to Mason carried the others off their feet. The tide turned toward the ex-congressman with a rush that carried everything before it. Mr. Mason's selection was a distinct defeat for the combination of politicians known as the machine and a clear vic tory for tho McKinley forces of the stato. Following the withdrawal a week ago of Martin D. Madden, the Chicago alderman ? who was at the out set tne niacmne candidate, tne state or ganization immediately entered the field with Congressman Lorimer. Lorimer showed much strength at the start, but his friends became discouraged, believ ing the McKinley element of the state too powerful to permit their man to win and at a canens of Cook county mem bers held at 6 o'clock last night, Mr. Lorimer announced his intention to abandon the fight and throw his strength to Mason. A stampede to the ex-cou- gressman followed. HARRIS TO SUCCEED PEFFER. Ex-Congressman Nominated by the Popu list Caucus on the 35th Itallot. Topeka, Jan. 21. William A.

CONTEST FOR A SEAT IN HOUSE. Yost-Tuclcer Election Contest Case He ceives Consideration. Washington, Jan. 21.

The latter is a member-elect of the next house and Mr. Tucker is one of the most prominent and popular Demo crats on the floor. Mr. Tucker had S92 plurality on the face of the returns, but several thousand imperfect ballots were rejected under the then existing Walton law of Virginia, which, the contestant claimed, if connt-d, would have re versed the result.
