CHANCES FOR CHICANERY".
The coming Illinois legislature will
be a theater of the most varied and in
genious expedients on both sides for
control. The Democrats have a small
majority iv the house and the IleDub
lieans in the senate, ami those denied
seats by one party in one house will bo
offset by the other party in the other
branch, where any pretext can be had.
It has been found in two or three cases
that the member-elect has not had quite
the needful residence in the state. In
one such, in a strong Republican dis
trict, the governor lias concluded that
the man is ineligible, and ordered a
special election. The Democrats raise
the nice point that the right of the party
to the seat is a matter for the legislature
to determine, and übt~thc governor.
TheyHvill ignore this, officious course of
the executive in accepting a resigna
tion from a man who" had nothing
to resign, and ordering, a special elec
tion. The house will decide : the original
party ineligible, and that a vacancy ex
ists, tor which the governor will be re
quested to order an election. This will
leave the Republicans one vote short in
the senatorial vote, and they will at
tempt to break a quorum and fail, un
less they can induce the three farmers'
men to go with them, which is improba
ble. The sharp trick played on the
Democrats six years ago induces sus
picions on both sides. The legislature
was. a tie, and a Democratic member
died. The district was so strongly Dem
ocratic that the Republicans pretended
not to have a candidate, but by a con
certed arraigeinent had their voters all
over the district rush to the polls at the
last hour, which they did, and elected
their man, sending John A. Logan to
'.he senate. It was a rare exhibition of
(•tactical politics. This time the Demo
tuts do not mean to be caught in any
trap, and, it is believed, will be able to
elect P.vi.mki:, if there is any election.
TELEPHONE PROMISES.
As great as is the convenience of the
elephone service, probably few who
have had frequent occasion to use the
device do not cherish the hope that a
dispensation is dated somewhere in tne
early future that will relieve occasional
incentives to profanity. Cheaper rates
tie not the only improvement hoped for.
The scientists promise a time when
communication by telephone will be as
easy and pleasant as talking to a
pretty and sensible young woman.
This is to come after the expiration of
patents breaks the monopoly. The first
of these that applies to the ear tube
lapses in 1893. The rival aud improved .
machines can then begin to show what
they cau do, but the field will not bo
quite clear until 1896, when the con
tract of Jay Gould with tho Dell Tel
phone company, for the benefit of the
Western Union, expires. One of the
features then promised will be long
range telephones, operating so smoothly
as to Interfere materially with the tele
graph service. Copper wires and all the
scientific discoveries will be utilized.
TROUBLING THEM.
The duty on sugar does not come off
till next April, and there are growing
indications that the needs of tho treas
ury will not warrant, its discontinu
ance. It will take most of the remain
ing sugar out of the Republican situa
tion to undo this work and recall the
proffered bounty for the. home product.
This has not quite taken shape in the
Republican mind, but the Massachu
setts sugar tariff expert may be the
prophet. The duty on tin, too, is not
in effect, but has pretty nearly been
conceded by McKinlev to have been a
misconception, even from the protect
ive standpoint. A Republican con
gressman from Chicago has tried to get
in a repealing bill. The two and two
tenths cents per pound duty on tin and
the four cents a pound on tin ore do
not commence till ' July,' 1893. Both will
be repealed before then, probably.
»
* MIGHT PENSION THEM.
It looks as if the pension sharks
would have a hard time to save • them
selves in congress if outside fusilades
are effective. The demand all around
is that they must travel. They consti
tute a wonderfully effective force in
devising and materializing legislation
to open conduits to the public treasury.".
The recent official statements show that
last month they were paid SPJi»,23O.' For
the year ending the last day of Juno
they pocketed 93,454,515, and since 1868
have absorbed |57,00U.000 '. that should ;
have gone to the . pensioners. The bill
to reduce their fee irotti $10 to !?l is dis
justing to them; but will be apt to pass.
Better still to pay them nothing, as the
valid claims ought to be. passed upon
without such aid. If the agents need* to
be supported, they might be put on - the
pension rolls. WtfNl
CHANCES FOX LEGISLATURES
The Democrats in Wisconsin have nil
questioned control of both houses of the
j legislature, and it is intimated will
score a strong point for the future by
introducing more of the business 'Spirit
than is apt to prevail in public bodies.
This is construed to mean that retrench
ment in .the official ranges may be
sought by lessening the forces that sub
tis construed to meat, that retrench
in the official ranges may be
lit by lessening the forces that sub
upiui the taxes drawn from the
people. In the quarter of a century or
more of Republican rule there has been
a. constant and growing demand for
more places for those who have done
service to the party or had influential
friends.. The policy has been of tho
broadest gauge, and the people in office
have so multiplied that many of them
-are not domed the opportunities
for activity requisite to health
ful conditions. There are objections to
pensioning too many people in this
way, even if it is an incentive to work
for the party. It will require some
nerve for the Democrats to inaugurate
this innovation just as they have tor the
hist time had all the doors opened to
them. There are some Democrats who
have been hungry for about twenty-live
years, and it is believed that the politi
cal stomach can become very lank in
toat time. It may be ungracious to
abolish offices for which there is little
public need at such a juncture, instead
of putting good Democrats in them.
But the Democrats will sow good seed
tor the future if they make a judicious
but somewhat rauieal reduction in
this class of expenditures. The
reform legislatures in Kansas and
Nebraska propose to do consid
erable work in this line. There are
suspicious that there is some room for
the same kind of exploiting in Minne
sota. The Republicans have been in
power still more persistently than in
Wisconsin, and it might be somewhat
of a surprise if a close and complete
analysis could be had of the relations of
official recompense to official toil in
some departments. Members of the
legislature usually have been more act
ive in creating places for friends Hie
re usually have been more act
atiug places for friends and
attaches than in saving expense to the
people. The servitors and ornamental
elements about a legislative body have
sometimes been as numerous as the
members. The Democrats and farmers
in the coming legislature ill be able to
revise things a good deal if they im
prove their opportunity.

THE GERMAN' SCHEME.
Germany does not rival this country
in the generosity of its provision for
those who have done military service,
but it is putting into operation a system
of relief for the aged and disabled that
is a new departure in governmental
economy. It -is not the result of the
new and impulsive- blood that of late
courses in the highest power of the
land. The scheme has been in process
of incubation for several years, but has
recently been matured and promulgated
throughout the empire. Its operation is
to date from the new year. The chief
feature of tne system is the provision of
an annuity to all laborers, of either
sex, when at the age of seventy,
or when their disability prevents earn
ing more" than a third of the former
wages; -The wage earners are divided
into four classes, determined by
the amount of their earnings.aiid a fund
is created for the payment of the bene-:
fits or four classes, determined by
amount of their earnings.and a tund
reated for the payment of the bene
or annuities by an assessment of
about 1 per cent of the wages paid the
workmen. The employer is required to
pay.an equal amount, and the residue,
mated at one-third, is furnished by
the government. Every ; working per
son who is seventy, or reaches that age
in 18D1, will at once be eligible to bene
lits in proportion to the wages lie has
been earning. ; Provision has heretofore
Iwho is seventy, or reaches that age
bill, will at once be eligible to bene
in proportion to the wages he has
n earning. Provision has heretofore
been made for workmen, regardless of
age, who are temporarily disabled by
sickness or accident, with free hospitals.
It las been the purpose to inaugurate
the system on a conservative basis,
making .the benefits so small as
not to make the outlay oppressive
and burdensome. At the end of
twenty-five years those who come in
now at the age of seventy or oyer will
be about all dead, and the movement
freed from the deadheads, as it were;
that is, those who have never contrib
uted anything to the fund. It is de
signed then to enlarge the benefits
somewhat. The figures stated as the
immediate payments are less than the
United States pays its pensioners, but
it must require much less to live on in
that country than in this, as the benefit
equals one-third of the former earnings.
The proportionate aid, then, must some
what exceed the average United States
pension. This scheme is in the direc
tion of socialism and paternalism in
government, and will be observed with
much interest by those who look to the
government to protect the citizen in
poverty, age and misfortune.
MUST GO BOTH WAYS.

Admirers of the Mr Kinlky tariff
system fancy that evidences of dislike
for the system over the water must be
taken as basis for elatiou in this
country. It does not follow that pos
sible detriment to a manufacturer in
England or Germany means an advan
tage to this country. They may be ob
structed country. avenues traffic,
cted in one of the avenues of traffic,
but trade is barter. If there are no
goods coming westerly over the Atlantic,
there will be no farm products going
east. England, Germany, or other coun
tries may lose customers in the United
States, but they are not going to buy
food products that they cannot, pay for
in trade. There are other sources to
which they can look for what they are
compelled to have. There must be car
goes both ways to make commerce.

It would have been better, no doubt,
could congress have reduced the num

Congressman Hansbrough
Airs His Boom in the Mer
]-j; chants' Lobby.
-a North Dakota politicians were, num
erous around the Merchants' yesterday,
no less than : three; candidates:; for sena
torial honors putting in an appearance
during, the day. The early morning
train on the Wiiwaukee «fc St. Caul
brought in Senator "(.'it" : Pierce, who
had hardly placed his autograph on the
register when Congressman Hansbrough
tumbled out of a Burlington sleeper and
struck a bee-line for the same hostelry.
Later in the afternoon Senator Jud La-
Moure returned to St. Raul from Chica
go and three of the dozen or more sena
torial possibilities so eagerly presenting
themselves to the legislature of North
Dakota were under the same roof.
,But the real power in North Dakota
politics, the man who possesses the
friendship and acquaintance of three
fourths the inhabitants of the new state
through his big-hearted and generous
acts, was not lolling around in the lob
bies; for it isn't Alex McKeuzie's style.
He never tries to advertise his great
ness or influence in that way, and yes
terday he was located in a large room
■on the second floor,- where he could be
reached only by card.
If : Mr. McKenzie has no longer the'
influence of former years in North Da
kota it : must be', strange, passing
strange, that the first thing Messrs.
Hansbrough and Pierce did after
; breakfasting yesterday was to
seek an- audience with him.
After a pursuit of two or three hours
duration these two ambitious office
seekers did corral Mr. McKenz ie in the
lobby, but neither of them talked much,
it any, politics to him. They are both
still haunting the kingmaker's trat ks
and will not leave for Bismarck before
this evening. ....
"It is the field against Pierce," said a
gentleman yesterday who stands very
close to Mr. McKenzie, "and Pierce has
no possible show for a re-election.
The candidates so far in the field ate:
Congressman Hansbrough. of Devil's
Lake; Jud La Moure, of Pembina;
Mayor Ball, of Fargo; Gov. John Miller
and Senator Pierce. In the Red river
valley there is a strong sentiment in fa
vor of a valley man for the place. Pierce
at the most has not over fourteen or
fifteen members of the legislature out of
the -three, aud can get no more for
the simple reason that the fight at the
late election was made squarely on the
issue of Pierce and anti-Fierce, and ho
was badly defeated. Of course this
fight produced a strong anti-Pierce sen
timent in the state,* which will not con
sent to his re-election. Congressman
/Hansbrough has about the same num
ber of supporters as Pierce, but he is
{stronger than the latter, for the reason
that: he was not a candidate and
no: fight was . made "against him
.as • • was made against Pierce.
Mayor Ball, of Fargo, has some strength
and so has that whole-souled individual,
:Jtid La Moure. Gov; Miller, 1 under
stand, has entered the race, but he is
hot 'in it.'. It is sate to say that a Red
river valley man is sure to bo - elected,
-as they are not and will not be treacher
ous -to themselves '• ; and • their section.
\\ bile there are several Red river valley
men who. would like to succeed Pierce,
they will. nil unite to defeat Pierce.
Nothing but the rankest kind of corrup
tion can make Pierce cut even a decent
figure in the contest." " '
Senator Pierce.while he" wore a rather
confident air yesterday, did not talk as
though he felt very sure^of winning a
re-election.
'•The fact is," he said. "I have six members
sure, as admitted by my opponents, and as
that is more than any of the other candidates
cau boast of, I do not see why my chances
are not vet good. I shall go on west to
morrow evening. Yes,! think appor
tionment bill passed by the house will go
through the senate. It is a fair measure, and
I see no reason why it should be delayed."
Congressman nansbrough, the Devil's
Lake editor, who has "advertised," as
he says, the Red river valley so exten
sively in the East by means of his reso
lution presented in the house a short
time ago asking tor an appropriation for
the destitute farmers of his state,
talked more confidently over his pros
pects for knocking the senatorial per
simmon than any of the other candi
dates. This may be because he is young
• and hopeful, while the others have ex
perienced more of the mutations of pol
itics. m^||m';
f "They are inclined to roast me In the Red
. River valley because of that resolution."' ne
said, '"but as a matter of fact they ous tit to
feel grateful to me. for I gave them a chance
to advertise that most fertile region widely
in the East. The resolutions passed at that
[Grand Forks meeting .were sent all over the
United States by the Associated Press, and, I
dare. say., the Red Rivet valley never re
ceived a better .'ad.' As a matter of fact the
valley is the richest on the face of the- globe."
"Are you and Senator Tierce traveling to
gether?':' : ,-v: ■ " . - -
"We went to Harrisburg together, and from
there to Chicago." answered Mr. Hans
: brough.' "From Chicago ; I came over . the
Burlington, while he took" the Milwaukee &
St. Paul." -
In discussing the fact that the . rtorn
ing Republican organ in St. Paul had
set out to re-elect . Senator Pierce and
was unable; to discover any strong op
position to" him. Congressman \ Hans
brough smiled and ventured the opinion
that this ,- organ had not made a very
careful investigation into the matter.
"It is sometimes better to have the opoo
sition than the support of a newspaper,"
he remarked in conclusion.-.
TABLES ARE TURNED.

i * Prison City Notes.
The late- election ,in Washington
county was apparently a fizzle from be
ginning to end, as shown .by. the re- |
count of votes. Nearly every precinct
in the county has shown a gam or loss
when the ballots . have been counted.
One of the worst errors made was dis
covered yesterday when the ballots of
the:- First ward were counted in the
Duraiit-Daly : legislative contest. -In
counting the ballots of the: First pre
cinct'of the First ward the result showed
a gain of forty votes for Daly. This is
a mistake which can hardly be account
ed for. D. L.Burlingham, one of the
clerks of election, when seen yesterday
by a Cil.okf. representative, stated that
Tie was positive beyond all doubt that
the. ballots were counted correctly on
the? night after election, and that the
mistake must have occurred in copying
. the', figures : from the tally : sheet on
to the . returns. > The original fig
ores; gave Daly 50, while the •: recount
gives him -'90, or gain of 40 '■ votes
in one precinct. . The ballots were de
livered to City Clerk; Hopkins on the
day after .election, when they were;
: strung on strings, sealed . and placed in'
the vault. The vault is provided with
an inner Yale lock and also a combina
tion lock, so it is unreasonable :to sup
pose that the ballots . could ; have been
: tampered. with. _ And . as a further pre- ;
caution Mr. Hopkins placed • the pack
ages face to face, so that if they had
; been handled 7in any, manner it could'
; easily .be " detected.":; Before '. this • mis
take was discovered ; Mr. Durant had a
- J majority of ; a few votes; but ; the tables [
are turned now and Daly has a majority
of about thirty-five. v The" case' was ad

CLEVELAND LEADS.
Farmers. of the Northwest Voice
. Their Poliiieal Preferences.
Springfield, Mass., Dec. 22.— An
elaborately panned canvass to ascer
tain the opinions of farmers through
out the. country on certain . practical,
economic and political questions has
been conducted on an extensive scale
for the past three months by. the agri
cultural press of Springfield. The vot
ing was not confined to subscribers of
these journals, and nearly 110,000 cards
were received answering these ques
tions :
1. Is- the silo system worthy of general
adoption?. -.. ~ .
_'. What is the greatest need in the dairy?
3. What is most needed in beef produc
tion? , ■ '
4. In sheep husbandry, what advice most
needs to be followed?
.5. What change or improvement is most
needed in horse breeding?
0 (A). Is federal aid to agricultural col
leges and experiment stations wise policy?
(B). Should the rudiments of the agricult
ural science be taught in the public schools?
7 (A). Will the new tariff help American
. farming as a whole?
(B). Will the proposed reciprocity with
South America benefit our farmers?
(C). Will reciprocity with Canada help the
farmers of the United States? -...
8. Would it be wise to suspend the home
stead and pre-emption laws, withdrawing
from sale or occupancy all puolic lands tor
agricultural ; and grazing purposes, for a
period of years, in the hope that population
and consumption might catch up wiih pro
duction, and thus relieve agricultural depres
sion?
. 9 (A). Should government own and oper
ate the telegraph?
(B). Should government own the rail
roads? :-•;; •
10. Who should be the Republican and
Democratic nominees for the presidency in
1892? [Note that the question is, who should
ho. not who will be, our idea being to draw
out the farmers' views as to the best men for
the presidency, rather than to guess who the
politicians will try to put up ]
In reference to the vote for presiden
tial candidates it is explained that the
journals interested interpreted the No
vember elections as meaning that the
fanners were weary of old favorites and
old measures ana demanded new men
and new issues. These . journals there
fore advocated J. M. Rusk, of Wiscon
sin, the secretary ot agriculture, aud
Congressman William H. Hatch, of
. Missouri, ex-chairman of the house com
mittee on agriculture, as the proper Re
- publican and Democratic standard
bearers for 1892. In spite of this influ
ence, however, the farmers expressed
their preferences for oresidential can
didates in the following manner:

Washington, Dec. Pessimists
who point to the results of the eleventh
census, and who argue that population
by birth is decreasing in these United
States, are evidently unacquainted with
William Duval and Mary F. Duval, his
wife. This couple, after much patient
endeavor, have at last burglarized their
way into something that is akin to noto
riety, and, if their efforts are not soon
interrupted, will move with unexam
pled rapidity toward untold wealth.
During the past week an acute observer
in the senate galleries . might have seen
numerous self-congratulatory smiles
chase each other over the countenances
of some of tho more distinguished
statesmen who occupy places tin the
floor, but until to-day the reason for
these muscular chucKles was not ap
parent. Grave and reverend senators—
to some of whom the delights of early
fatherhood were but memories— out
and
Purchased Silver Jlug*
and silver spoons and had names en
graved upon thereon. Others folded
up samples of the newest and most crisp
five or, ten-dollar bills. All of them
wrote nice little letters to accompany
the bullion, or promise to pay, and, sin
gularly enough, all of them addressed
their gifts to the same person, at the
same address. To-day there is more of
humor than seriousness in the senate.
Partisan speeches of the fieriest descrip
tion will be involuntarialy interrupted
by smiles, while bitter accusation and
sarcastic retort will bo sandwiched be
tween robust strata of never-wearying
laughter. To the people in the galler
ies these exhibitions of hilarity will be
enigmas, but not for any length of
time. The secret is out. The United
States senate has been made • the scene
of a confidence man's operations, and
he would nave "been "working" the
greatest deliberative body in the world
yet, had he not, in an unlucky moment,
decided to make a victim of Senator
Manderson, of Nebraska. This morn
ing when Senator Manderson went
through his mail, he found therein the
following letter :
Baltimore, Dec. 20. '90.— lion. Charles P.
Maudersou— Dear Sir: Enclosed you wil
find the baptismal certificate ot my little son.
Charles Manderson Duvall. whom I named
in honor of you. How I came to name him
afier you was that 1 wanted to name him
after some prominent Republican and choose
you because you are from my native state. I
nave seen you on several occasions and . al
ways have been an admirer of. you. Little
Charles is getting afong first-rate, and I hope
mat he may live and be as upright and hon
est as the man after whom he is named. He
is our first-born, and as soon as we have his
picture taken, I will send you one. Also, in
closed, you will find five tickets for an enter
tainment which is given for my benefit. I
would not nave troubled you with them, only
. last week I had my leg broken while at work
and my friends are giving this for my benefit.
All the income I had was what was derived
from my daily labor.and I hope yon will take
them to aid me If you do not wish them
you. can return them. My wife and little
Charles are well, and I hope this will find
you the same. Please answer by return mail
and let me know it you received the certifi
cate all right. Hoping this will find you well
and wishing you a merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year. I remain. Yours- respect
fully. William DOTAIi.
825 E. Baltimore street, Baltimore, Md.
Answer by return mail, as I will be anx
iously awaitiug a reply.
The tickets which were enclosed had
on their pink surface the printed an
nouncement:
Grand entertainment for the benefit of
William Duvall. to be held at Bvrnfs hall
Wednesday, Dec. "3l, 1890. Tickets, $1.
Now had Senator Manderson been the
only senator thus applied to, all might
have been well, and by this time the
broken-legged, but happy, father would
have had five of Senator Manderson's
412 erains, nine-tenths fine silver dol
lars in his inside pocket. But it so hap
pened that a few days ago the Nebraska
statesman had seen a similar certificate,
in which the name of this Gist-born
child was declared to be Justin Morrill
Duvall. and he likewise knew that the
venerable senator from Vermont had
torn So off his salary and sent it to the
suffering father at 825 East Baltimore
street Convinced that if Mrs. Duvall
could be the mother of two first-born
children she might have given birth to
a few moro at the same time, Senator
Manderson began to investigate the
matter, and the results of his inquiries
caused the laughter which in the sen
ate to day was "frequent aud painful
and free." According to the certificates
which have been uncovered there are
now in existence—
A IHstingnlslied Family.
Joseph DolDh Duvall. William Evarts
Duvall, Anthony Uiggins Duvall, John
Griffin Carlisle Duvall, Algernon Paddcck
Duvnll. Watson Squire Duvall. Edward
Wolcott Dnvall. George Edmunds Duvnll,
Wilhnr Sanders Duvall. Richard Pettinrew

Stockbridge Duvall, Henry Blair Duvall.
George Hoar Duvall, Eugene Hale Duvali.
William Washburn Duval!. George Vest
Duvall, Prank Hiseoct Duvall. to say nothing
of Charles Mandrson Duvall; all first-born
children of this wonderfully virile William
Duvall and his extraordinary wife, Mary V.
Duvall.
Incidentally, these children have all
been brought into the world within the
past three weeks. There are those
around the senate who say. that there
are several other newly born Duvalls,
among them John Sherman Duvall,
Matthew Stanley Quay Duvali and Ar
thur Gorman Duvall, but the gentlemen
thus honored insist that they have not
been called on tor either silver mugs or
money; they are. however, regaraed
with suspicion. The vice president did
not escape. There is a Levi Morton
Duvall, aud he or his father owns a nice
silver cup, appropriately inscribed. The
certificate which was sent to : Senator
Manderson is similar in every .respect
save the name of the- alleged child to
those which the other senators have re
carded with so much satisfaction. The
document is a little more than twelve
inches long and about ten inches wide.
It is printed in the highest style of ec
clesiastical art on calendared paper.
Allegorical Imagery
and Scriptural phrases abound. Shep
herds with lambs, shorn and unshorn,
seemed to haunt the designer. A hen,
striving with an over-large brood of
chickens, represents Mrs. Duvall and
her first-born. A pelican, conveying
food to a nest of his , offspring, is evi
dently Mr. Duvall, and if his - legs are
as thin as the . pelican's are, it is not
much wonder that one of them has been
broken. - A serpent, climbing a fruit
tree and evidently, bent on getting some
thing for his. trouble, might easily be
mistaken for Mr. Duvall as at present
engaged. Surrounded by scrollwork, a
square-rigged . boat sails on a sunlit
sea toward a rocky promontory '. on "
which stands a ; church, - and beneath
this lithographic gem is the information,
that "Charles Manderson Duvall, child
of William Duvall and his wife, Mary
F. Duvall, born at Baltimore Dec. 1,
1890, was baptized it - the First E. L.
. church, on the lGth day of December,
.1890." The sponsors were Anna Duvall
and Mary Jones. Tiie officiating cler
gyman's signature is •; that ; of Charles
Bay, pastor. It is not at all improbable
that ; proceedings will be instituted
against. Mr. Duvall, notwithstanding the
great size of his family and the added
disability of a broken leg.
