The resolution agnlnst fusion was framed by Prof. Samuel Dlcklo of Albion , chairman of the national committee , and by Itcv. John Hussell , who Is known as the father of the prohibition party. ' lloth defended this resolution In vigorous terms. There was a eenttmcnt In the convention In favor of conciliatory measures , but It wns scarcely apparent , whcn the vote was taken on adop tion of the platform. The platform reiter ates the Plttsburg platform and asrcrts that feature of the slr.ilght party's platform need not debar the nationalists from return ing lo their former allegiance.

Representative Nichols elated thai he had unbounded sympathy for the Cub.in In their ntruggle for Independ ence' but he did not bclluve In endorsing the Cameron resolutions bc < ; aupe U had been practically decided that these resolutions favored n courae which Is a violation of Intcr- nalional law.

The office of chief Justice ot the supreme court of the United Stales was eslabllshed by Iho consllullon cor.curcnlly with the of fice of president ; but while the prcildcncj has been open to all native-born citizens above Ihc age ot 35 , says the New York Sun , the odlce of chief Jusllce of Ihe supreme premo court , bestowed usaually upon men of mature. If not advanced In years , has been hold Irj fact by seven persons only slnco the foundation of the government. There have been more than three times as many presidents. John Jay of New York was Iho first chief Jusllce of Ihe supreme courl. He was np- polnlcd by Washington In 17S9. Judge Jay was at that time only 41 years of age. When ho nllalned Iho ngo of HO ho resigned and rcllred to private life. He died thirty-four years later In 1S29. The second of the su preme court chief justices wns John Ells worth of Connecticut Ho wns 51 years ot ago when appointed , and served until 1801 , when he resigned resignations from pub lic ofllco being somewhat moro frequent al that tlmo than now. Ills successor waa John Marshall of Virginia , who was 4G years of age when he assumed this posl by ap pointment of President John Adams ; he held It uninterruptedly for thirty-four years , unlll hla death In 1835. Andrew Jackson appointed his successor , Roger II. Tnncy ot Maryland , who held the offlco until hln death In 1SC4. Judge Taney was 59 years of ngo when appointed , and 87 nt the time of his death. No chief Justice of the supreme premo court , perhaps , had more Intricate questions to determine or to vote unon In that tribunal thnn did Judco Tancy , nnd his lenuro and lhal of Chief Jusllco Mar shall slrclch over nearly one-half of Iho history of the United States ns a nation. Chief Justice Taney's successor wns Sal- mnn p Pliasn of Ohio , who hnd previously been sccretnry ot the Ireasury , and was 50 years of ago when appointed. He served for nine years , dying In 1S73. Mr. Chase was appointed by Abraham Lincoln , and It Is a part of the political hlslory of their day that Mr. Chase was himself n candi date for Ihe presidency , and had hoped lo defeat Mr. Lincoln for rcnomlnatlon and to succeed him ; and lalcr , In 1SC8 , It Is known thai Mr. Chase was n candidate for the democratic nomination for the presi dency. though ho had been ono of the found ers of the republican party. Chief Justice Chaoe was succeeded In 1S73 by Presldcnl Grant's appointment of another Ohio man , Morrison R. Wnllc. who was 67 years of ngo when appointed and served until 1SS8 , when ho was succeeded by the present chief justice. Melville W. Fuller , nppolnled by Prcsldenl Cleveland. Mr. Fuller Is n na- llvo of Maine. Ho was , when appolnled , 65 years of ago and will bo C4 on February 11 nexl. He Is Ihe seventh ot the chief. Jus tices of the supreme court and has nerved , thus far. a briefer term Ihan any of his predecessors since Chief Justice Ellsworth. In addition to the chief justices who have served , several men have been nominated for the cIMce bill rejected by Ihe Beiiale , which has confirmatory power. The ofllce of chief justice Is by many .citizens more highly coveted Ihan Ihat of the presidency. The labor Is less , the rcsposlblllty much smaller , the tenure longer and the honor an cxnlted one.

INTRODUCED BY REPRESTATIVE ) RICI MrnMirrii tluil I'mvlil 'I'liiilnliiiieii ' for OlixtriitttliiK Trnlllc , U llov CIII-M a ml dlliiil L'liou MovliiU' Tru'JiiH. There Is undisguised pleasure nmong rail way olllclals In this city over tlio IntroJuc tlon Into tlio stale URtolnture. ' yesterday o three bills , tlio Intent of which Is to til mlnlsh damage suits against the railroad companies of the state , Tlio thrco bill wore Introduced by Iloprcsentntlvc Hlch o this city , and It Is hoped and really though by some of the Omaha railroaders that they will become laws. It is no secret that th bills wcro drawn up by attaches of Omaha railroads. The Import of the flrsl bill Is to prohlbl the obstruction of railroad business. It I modeled after a statute now In force In Kan uas. where the law has been found to bo o real benefit to the railroads and to shipper and passengers. Punishment is provldei for the violation of the law proposed. The second bill la aimed directly at the American tramp , and should It become a law U would seriously Interrupt his travc In the favorite box car. It provides punish incut for persona who enter ratiroad cars litho the night time. A similar law la In vogue In Wisconsin. Under the present laws o the state a man who brcaUs open n car cither to gain a ride or for the purpose o stealing , can bo brought out of the cor , bu ho cannot bo punished unless ho has bcei seen to break open the car dr been ouporvot to steal something from the car. The third bill Is to prohibit persons fron climbing upon moving railroad trains and cars. Punishment Is provided for persons who Qcck this means of transit. The bill Is fashioned after a similar one In operation ti Missouri. This bill Is of the greatest In tcrest to the local railroads because o the number of people killed each year While stealing rldca between Omaha and" Soutl Omaha. Speaking of the latter bill ycstcrdaj a Union 1'aclflc olllclal said : "Tho passage of thl bill would be a' the greatest Deneilt not only to the railroads hero , but to the people who travel between Omaha and South Omaha to their work each day. Many o these people have for years been In the habit of stealing rides on the trains running bu tween the two places. Our road , the Bur llngton and the Hock Island have had scores of people killed and damage suits Institute ! Just because the people thought tilcallnK , rides was the easiest way to travel bctwcci here and South Omaha. During the pa.i few years on an average of between six am eight people have been killed In this manner annually. " Another railway official said : "All these bills arc good and should become laws. It the states where they are In force , especially In and around Kansas City and St. Louis the people wouldn't give them up for any thing. It Is true that such laws would save the railroad companies many damage suits but they would be of real .benefit to the pee pie. There Is Just one other provision that should go along with llfee1 , ! but was not Introduced. I think thcro should bo a la\\ making It unlawful to .walk on railroad tracks. It Is really pitiful.tho way In whlcl people who walk the traqks are run down by trains and ground to pjcces. but It Is Impossible ' possible to stop the trains'fn.ljme to prevent the accidents nnd fatalltle. ] , wljlcli arc clearlj due to the recklessncEs of 1119 pedestrians U would bo more humane to arrest sucl people and fine them $25 for walking the tracks than to allow thcnt to continue sucl practiced with fatal results. " COXSOIiIllATIOX OKVrjHS , SYSTRSI ( lint Short I.I'M is "Pure Miiy TiiUo Uiilc/n / I'nVlllc. There Is a growing bcll'ef ! among officials of the Union Pacific rallw'fty' ' 'that the re organization committee , which a few days ago purchased the Oregon Short Line & Utah Northern , will buy In 'the ' remaining frag ments of the system when offered for fore closure sale by the government. They arc particularly anxious to believe such a pur chase to he most likely as that would Indi cate that there would bo no chaugca In the management , and the roster of officials would then remain Just ail It appears today. Kvcry straw that points this way Is eagerly seized by the officials , and the latest event In this line Is especially well liked. The occurrence that has Just confirmed the belief of the hopeful that the purchasers of the Union Pacific will bo Identical with tlitso who bought the Shore Line Is the Is suance of an order by the receivers directing the Union Pacific to make contracts for the annual supply of cross tics for the Oregon Short Line & Utah Northern railway. The contracts for tics that will bo needed on the Union Pacific system during the year 1897 were awarded about a fortnight ago , as pub lished by The Hco at that time. These con tracts called for tics for use on the Union Pacific sjatem alone , and It was announced at that time that no tics would be bought Tor the Short Line , as that road would soon lie operated Independently of all other con nections. Now cornea the order to buy sufficient tics for the Short Line to last throughout the year. The contracts were awarded ycster- lay and call for 438,000 tics of red fir. They will bo cut In Oregon and used on the Short Line. General Purchasing Agent GrlflHJn yesterday explained that the reason the contract has been given out for Short Line tics was that March might bo too late to secure good tics at reasonable prices and .hat the segregation of the Short Line would irohably not come before that time. The ncldent Is generally considered to bo In- llcatlvo of the fact that the segregation of .ho Short Line will bo merely nominal and that It will continue to bo operated In the closest conjunction with the Union Pacific syatem.

While out ho took pains to make a thorough examination of the conditions of the corn stored In cribs and ylng on the ground about the state. When asked for a report , based on his observa tions , he said : "Tho conditioncouldn't bo nuch worse. Wo have had so much wet vcathcr.

The Erie linn had the- cst bshr.cn ! ! of an Omaha agency under consideration for some time , nnd the officials came out to look over the ground before milking1 any dc clslon In the matter. They called on the freight officials of all the local roada durlnt , the day , and found that most satlafactor > arrangements could bo made with them for the business of such an agency. The Krlo has opened nearly a dozen agpnclra In tilt west within : the past six months , the near est to Omaha being In the central part of Iowa. The agent for Omaha has not yet been selected. The moat probable man for the place , however. Is a well-known young man ot this city , who Is now the traffic manager ot a South Omaha packing house company. Ho wr.a formerly connected with ' the freight department of an Omaha road. Ilo will look after the InlercstH of the Erlo In the sur rounding territory , as well as In Omaha When this agency Is established the Erie will enter Into competition with ten other fast freight lines having agencies here.

One of the notions which seems firmly estab- Ishcd , eays the Uoston Transcript , Is that the early settlers generally used the bell- nuzzle blunderbuss , Almost every artist vlio draws a Thanksgiving or Christmas ilcturo of a Puritan going to meeting gives ilm a gun with a muzzle lllto the end of a rumpet. Now , the fact l.s that the bell- mouth firearm was never a military arm among Engllth-spcaklng people at all , nor was such a weapon ever common either In his country or In England until about the nlddle of the last century , when It came nto use for the defense of houses against mrglarc , for stagecoach guards and similar mrposes , The blunderbuescs which nro : ommon enough In the curiosity shops are almost without exception later than 1750 , and many of them date only from the early part of this century. A large , bell-mouthed gun was In use omowhat earlier on board of naval and other rmed ships , but this was a heavy piece- nounted on a swivel and used very much s the howitzer was later. Then as to the locks. Even some of our most distinguished writers seem to be com * ilctcly at sea on this point. Ono New Eng * and writer whom I will not name for fear f seeming disrespectful to a man denorv- ng of honor , wrato some tlmo ago In a nagazlno article that some soldier In King 'hlllp'rt war might have Invented the ( Unl ock by finding that an Indian flint arrow- icad would make flro If Inserted Into the ock of his matchlock. Now the soldier of C70 was given a matchlock , -not because ho military authorities wcro Ignorant of Una which could make their own fire wheellacks and suaphauncca were In com mon use ) , but because the matchlock was cr.shlcred better for ordinary use. More i than thlfl , If ho hnd thought of It ho waul ; have known Hint hln matchlock would no nuke fire with A flint , The flintlock wit , which our war of Independence wan fough I requires a powerful blow to mnke > the IIIn i Rlrlko flro from the ntcel. This the match lock did not have , nor did the pan rove open In such a way as to make this po * alblc. At tht > time ot King Philip's war and fo a long tlmo afterward the ordinary tlrcarn for Infantry was the matchlock musket There arc plenty In European collections but very rare In America. I have neve seen one In any collection In this country At the same time Uio snaphauncc , n prlml live form of the fllnllock , was quite ex tenslvcly used b > hunters , and probably by the Indians , who would naturally object t the match , which If kept lighted would be tray Us presence , especially at night Whoellocks were probably used to sumo ex tent by tlio earliest settlers , but It was nl wa\s an exceptional arm and too costly t bo generally used , lly the time of King Philip's war It was rather old-fashlonci and not likely to have figured much. Ii Springfield Is .1 fine- bronze statue of one the early settlers who Is represented with a whccllock lilunilcrlntM. This Is , of course possible anything Is possible but If anj wlicellock blunderbuss can be found In nn\ collection of Europe or this country \\ouli I like to see It. A TAIiU OP CATS AXII MATS. H Conic * from IIMHVlilili IN to Ilnvr n Cut Knriii. The New York Sun throws a few plquati rays on n projected IOWA Industry and jol lies the schenip In this style : Every little while strange rumors cotuo out of the wtot , but of all the wild border It's Iowa semis the besl. The Sun hns hm Its eye on Iowa for a long time. Even will half an eye one could see that strange things wcro happening oui there. In fact , four of thcao straiigo Ihlngs happened along this way : When New York saw the four Cherryu It decided that there were stranger Ihlnsa In heaven and earth and Iowa than were dreamt of In Its philosophy. The cat factor ) scheme goes to confirm this belief. Clinton , according to report. Is to be the homo of the projected factory. The Idea hn not boon rnlliely carried out , but It Is rlpo for execution , nnd the magnificent fu'hcnicn ot Colonel Sellers pale Into Insignificance beside the possibilities of this prairie project. Clinton Is a beautiful town In the exlix-me eastern portion of the state. As far ns cai bo learned , It haa never borne Ill-will or malice against anybody , consequently the cat factory cannel be of the nature of a re venge. Tlie Clinton Dcoylt do not under stand It. They have given bonititcs to puc- ! Ing houses and bonuses to wagon factories and u building site to the -cracker man , who said ho'd let the poor have all his liroeii ! crackers. I3ut they never gave even en courahemciil to the cat factory. The cat faclnry didn't ask for encourage ment. All It wanted was a chnner- , and two enterprising men from Knnsaa have prom ised that. The simplicity of their nchptiu Is. In Itself , a stroke of genius. Hprc nrc the details : In the first place , they are to have a num ber of acres on the outskirts of the town This farm , If you choose to eall It ( hat , late to bo storked with 1,000 assorted cats. A separate portion of the place will bo occu pied by 5,000 rats. The n.OOO rala are to be fed gradually to the 1.000 eats. Meantime both eata and rafa will Increase In numbers despite the fact that the cats are eating the rats. It Is estimated that the number of cats will Increate lo 15,000 during the flrsl year and to 223,000 during the second year. Of course , If the rats increased no faatci than the cats , thr cats would soon tat up nil the rats , and there would be trouble. But they don't give way to these little diffi culties out In Iowa. The eats arc to In- raised for their sklna. whleh are worth $1 each In the market When the cats an killed for their skins their bodlcj are fed to the rala. which will fatten on Uielr ad versaries' boiica. Thus f.illencd they them selves will become more toothsome and nourishing for the cats when It Is the turn of the rats to be cntcn. The beauty of this plan must be apparent. What is cats today becomes rats tomorrow and what Is rats tomorrow becomes cafn next day. and DO on round the circle of rats and cats until doomsday or the tlmo when the Clinton people shall turn oul and exterminate the whole Institution. Hut this Isn't all. The cats become rats nnd the rats become cats , as before ex plained. Also , the cats become more cats and the rats become rnoro rats with a per sistent rapidity whleh makes one's brain rrel. If the 1,000 cats became 22.ri.000 In two years , tlio question Is , how many rats will they have from n beginning of 5.000 , provided Ihc rats Increase flvo times faster than the catH. Ono must consider the fact , however , that the cats will cut more rats than the rats can eat cats. This Is Impor tant. Also , that muny of the rals , having been eaten by the cats , will therefore be Incorporated In the cat population , nnd will bo assisting the eat total to the detriment of the rats. Of course , jit the same time , Eomn of the eata will have been eaten by the rats , and must therefore , bo subtracted from the eat producers and added to the rats. Now llierc Is another problem. If the cats nto nothing but rats , then the entire G.OOO rats would bo eaten by the 1,000 cats Inalde of the first week , end the slory would be done moro quickly even Ihan Iho famous Inle of Solomon Grimily , which covered n pcrioil or seven days , not counting the ob sequies which must have occurred the next week. There must be n way out of this. Naturally enough It Is n milky way. A third section of the farm will bo devoted lo cows. The cows. It Is to bo hoped for Hie success of Iho scheme , will give milk. Part of this milk will bo fed to the cats. The rest will jo made Into cheese for the rats. It IB so easy to kill two birds with one stone. If you have the right kind ot birds and the right kind of a stone. Hero , then. Is the project complete : First , .ho farm , which Is to be surrounded by a ten-foot fence to prevent the escape of the capitalized stock of the company ; second , lie cows , which will furnish the milk for ho cats and chccso for Iho rats ; third and 'ourth for they are Inseparable , or will bo n the course of a year or two the cals lhal Ou the first christ- 11103 , nearly nineteen hundred years ngo , in n little town of Bethlehem in Judica , n wonderful tiling oc curred a child was born.
