E. M. C. Plowing has temporarily suspended. The administration senators are mostly on the defensive.

Bryan's paper, the Commoner, will issue Wednesday, Jan. 23d. There may be some faulty school books, but the law is all right. That Texas oil is not to be made light of it is non illuminative. It's about time for the council to resolve some more in regard to the dam.

The West Point hazing brutes are not doing so well under the congressional examination. A good way to stand by the town is to encourage competition say by handling foreign flour. If the municipal dog poisoner would only devote attention to the right kind of curs, all would be forgiven. If the Almighty should propose to establish a second Garden of Eden in Ottawa there would be "knockers." There are others beside horsemen to be considered when deliberating about chopping down trees in Forest park, gentlemen. Farmers are earnestly admonished to discourage the traveling seller of groceries and buy foreign flour of the home man.

The council in solemn, emphatic and possibly profane mood resolved to fight the McCreery case until the surface of hades congealed. And next day it tamely agreed to pay the hungry lawyers their fees if they'd quit. Representative Butler's bill providing for the repeal of the law granting suffrage to women in municipal elections died a sudden death in the judiciary committee yesterday. Mr. Mason, chairman of the committee, made a report to the house and recom mended that the bill be not passed.

The railroads are controlling every department of the machinery of legis lature. The chairmanship of every important committee is a tool of the railroads. The speaker is a railroad attorney. John Seaton will be the chairman of the railroad committee. Mr.

Seatoii has always been the active agent of the railroads in the house and has made a fortune out of railroad contracts in his foundry busi ness. This is the beginning; what will the end be? KcriBlICAS AUDACITY. In addition to the bill introduced in the legislature to prevent by law any fusion between democrats and popu lists in order to disfranchise populist voters, they have another requiring all voters to register before voting- at a primary meeting and in addition to non-residence the voter must record his politics. These hireling politicians would pass a law compelling' everybody to vote the republican ticket if it was possible to do so. They have another law to exempt lands from taxation that are used exclusively for fruit and forest trees.

This is in part to relieve the nursery men from taxation on lands they ocaupy for raising fruit trees. No bill has yet been introduced to reduce and disorganize the 30 or 40 counties that cast from 150 to 300 votes only. JOHN MARSHALL DAY. On the fourth day of February next, it wtll be 100 years since John Marshall took his seat as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.

The day will be properly celebrated in our own state by the State Bar Association and other organizations. Governor Stanley has issued a proclamation calling upon the people to join in the centennial exercises commemorating the life and public services of this eminent American jurist. John Marshall has left a permanent impression upon the the pages of American history.

His contribution to political literature has enriched and enlarged our whole national life. His extraordinary power of mind, his honesty, kindness and deyotion to duty made him one of the trulj great men of this country. He was a great advocate of free government and one of the ablest expounders of the fundamental principles of our constitution. He said: "The government of the union is a government of the people; it emanates from them; its powers are granted by them and are to be exercised on them and for their benefit." There is much in his resourceful life to inspire the yonth of our country to high and noble efforts. State Sup't.

Nelson recommends that the schools of the state devote as much time as possible, on February 4th, to the study of the life and character of the man of whom it was said: "He was the ornament of human nature itself, in the beautiful illustration which his life constantly presented its most attractive graces and most elevated attributes." County Sup't. Gentry seconds the recommendation, advising the observance of. the day in the schools of the county. The character of the program is left to the schools and indi-yidual teacher. Valuable suggestions may be secured from a pamphlet, "How to celebrate John Marshall Day," by addressing Honorable Adolph Moses, Chairman of the Chicago Bar Association, and "Eulogy on the Life and Character of John Mar shall," published by Callagtran Chicago.

A riot was in proivss here hist night as a result of tli- shooting yesterday afternoon of James Sliotwell ly Jlollie White and several persons have been killed and injured. Shotwell is in a preearions condition and is not expected to recover. The trouble grew out of the fact that White had been paving attention to Shotwell's daughter against the will of the latter.

After the shooting White submitted to arrest and was placed in his brother's grocery store, where a guard was placed over him awaiting the arrival of the sheriff. At ::5 p. ni. a terrific explosion took place under the grocery. So severe was the shock that it tore the building literally to pieces.

There were about a dozen persons in the building at the time. Several escaped with slight injuries while several remain- in the debris dead. No one at this time can say how many are killed. Immediately after the explosion there was rapid tiring in the neighborhood by unknown parties concealed in the darkness. After Ihe shooting Susan Cox was found dead near the wrecked building, having been struck by a stray ball.

Citizens were afraid to visit the rioting district last night and the number of killed cannot be ascertained unlil morning. The Itossehieter Case, l'aterson, X. 17. Counsel for the defense of the Jennie murder trial yesterday practically closed their case. William A.

Death, Walter McAlister and Andrew Campbell, the Ihree men on trial for the murder, went upon the stand in their own behalf and told their versions of the events of Ihe night Jennie P.osschieter met her death while in their company. The plea set up by counsel for the three defendants was a general and specific denial of all the accusations made against the men. He denied that she had been drugged, and denied that she had been ill treated and as saulted. The Mazing at West Point. West Point.

X. Jan. 17. The congressional committee put in a good day's work at the West Point academy yesterday. While they relaxed for a few hours in the afternoon to witness a drill of the first class ca dets in the riding school, they got down to the bottom of the hazing practiced at the academy during the last four years, and, while at least a dozen other witnesses have yet to be examined in this connection, the com mittee has laid out the work for fin ishing the inquiry before the end of the week.
