This is much for a Chica- admit. eo Mr. Webster Davis was of course unable get Mr. Grosvenor to accompany him to h Africa to keep the statistics straight. a The Constitutional Amendment. House joint resolution 28, propusing an to the Constitution to permit eet election of ors, was yester- ed by the te to the commit- privileges ani tions, the usual But this action ptional circumstances, h showed clearly that atives In the upper house pro- resist the innovation stoutly, and pect of present success. a two-thirds vote of the he joint resolution. It is whether the friends of the t can muster such a strength, circumstance: The question lo be answered now is why the opponents of the measure are not willing to allow a vote and so place that body squarely on re ing a change. This at leas be courageous and tangible. It pays some- times even to accomplish a negative re- sult. But perhaps the opposition to the amendment fears that a decisive rejection of the joint resolution would bring the sen- timent for a change to a focus and cause & resort to the alternative method for amending the Constitution provided by that instrument and never thus far utilized. The section relating to amendments reads thus: “The Congress, whenever two-thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall Propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the appcation of the legislatures of two-thirds of the several states, shall call @ convention for proposing amendments, which, in elther case, shall be valid to ali Joubtful ndme intents and purposes, as part of this Con- stitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification shall be proposed by the Ci : Provided, That * * * no state, without its consent. shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.” There has never been @ constitutional convention since the organization of the government. All of the amendments have been proposed to the legislatures by Con- gress, the first ten In one lot, the others at various periods up to 1800. There is a certain dread of a convention entertained by most statesmen and some politicians, for it is feared that when once the ques- tion of changes is submitted to such a body there could be no limiting the reforms and modifications advocated and even adopted in a spirit of modernizing an in- strument which Is regarded by some to be in certain respects old-fashioned. ‘Thus the conservatives in the Senate who strive against a change In the mode of choosing senators are in a measure between the devil of this amendment and the deep sea of a convention, not knowing which to abhor the most. The passage of the House resolution and its submission to the states would be tantamount to ratification, for al- ready the legislatures of at least thirty of the states have declared for this change. It is confidently believed by the friends of the reform that with opportunity the vote for ratification would considerably exceed three-fourths of the legislatures. With thirty legislatures recorded in favor -of the change there is already a sufficient strength in that direction to summon a convention, provided the issue were drawn sharply enough and pressed by means of organiza- tion. Does {t not behoove the anti-amendment senators, therefore, to allow the matter to be thoroughly ventilated, debated in the open, voted upon and, if adopted, placed upon the final reference to the legisiatures, or, if the initial proposition is defeated, to make way for a legislative command for a convention at which the amendment could be placed upon Its last basis? There is no mistaking the sentiment of the country. Merely ignoring it will not change this sentiment, but will rather tend to accentu- ate the demand for a change. A prompt consideration of the amendment by the Senate committee ts possible and decidedly advisable, possible because the matter is by no means new to that body, advisable because the advocates of amendment show signs of resorting to determined organiza- tion to secure their ends. - + + = —___ Chicago and the Spanish Minister. It is perhaps unkind, but !t Is neverthe- less natural to feel that it was altogether characteristic of Chicago to send to the Duke of Arcos, Spanish minister in this country, an {invitation to attend the cele- bration of the second anniversary of the battle of Manila in the windy city. Such an exquisite bit of bad taste fs certain to be bruited abroad as typical, furthermore, of the whole country. That {t is not thus typical may be understood by those Euro- peans who have studied the Amer na- tion at all sincerely and thoroughly. But it will undoubtedly remain for some time to come as one of the reproaches which America has to live down by persistent good behavior and care. There fs but one ray of hope—that the foreign world will think to see in this a sample of delicate western wit, not intended to harm or to offend, but merely to make light of a situa- tion which in another environment would become serious. Yet even this possibility ts di Is the United States for- ever to be known to the world as a joker nation? Chicago has not been altogether happy in dealing with occasions demanding un- usual care in the interpretation of ett- quette. There ts even yet fresh memory of a certain world's fair celebrity who per- sisted In attending a break clad in full evening dress. But Chica mits . heries with good grace. E: © John will acknowledge in m¢ ts of conscience that perhaps his cos- i Mayor Harrtson has ext st er that the invita: rical mistake. This have to be accepted, of , and is no doubt, as far as It goes, entirely truthful and sincere. But mi while the world will smile at the guilele s of the offic who, after allowing such a blunder to be committed, compia- cently made public the dignified letter frora the Duke of Arcos returning the invitation n- and in the best of humors begging the privilege of rating the affair as a mere mis- adventure. It Is at le mething to be able to submit surance. Secretary Long. The renewal at this time of the talk of Seeretary Long for the vice presidency 1s deservedly attracting much attention. Mr. himself treats the subject with the and consideration that {t deserves. neither seeking the honor, nor de- at has not yet been offered. But he very proper'y says that a nomination to to self-exposure with as- an office could not be declined, and makes clear that if the party his serv! a candidate in the ampaign it has but formaly to signify that f It is a pleasure and but the simple truth to say that in Mr. Long are embraced as rts be found in any pub- A in Amertea. He has character, scholarship, experience in affairs, and per- son ddress altogether free from affecta- tion. He would make an ideal presiding officer for the Senate. He would bring to the post a natural dignity, a thorough knowledge of parllamentary law, and a spirit of fairness, which would serve at every stage of the Senate's proceedings. ——__~ «= —____ The Irish are notably hospitable and will no doubt be gind to assure the Queen of England that the latch-string is always out when she feels like making a nelghborly visit. as ma —___ + = —___ ‘The Prince of Wales has had a sore throat, but Is fortunate in the fact that his con- tinuance tn public life does not depend on his oratory. —___+ ++_____ It may safely be asserted that Mr. Clark is not holding on to his seat in the Senate because the salary is any particular object. ——__~-« = —__ Mr. Clark devoted too much time and trouble to reaching this city to be in any hurry about getting a return ticket. —__—_+ += —__ The War Situation. ‘The news from the African campaign is unsatisfactory in character Just now, pre- senting no safe ground for estimating the probabilities or even the actualities. Lord Roberts is keeping close counsel and {s fore- casting no movements. Conflicting reports are fn circulation regarding the activity of the Boers. The trend of belief seems to be that the recent southward movement by the burghers has spent its force, and that they are now retiring toward the north. One re- port is persistent that the Boers have aban- doned the siege of Wepener and are retiring, hugging the Basutoland frontier, with a column of natives marching on the other side of the border to prevent trespass. In the absence of authentic information from Bloemfontein this statement, if true, prob- ably means that Lord Roberts has suc- ceeded in pressing the Boers away from Wepener with 2 relief column, and Is threat- ening to shut off thelr retreat, necessitating a close march far to the eastward on their part. ‘The Natal situation seems to be about what it was when Buller began his forward movement after relieving Ladysmith. In- deed, the British campaign is not in the least advanced since that event and the capture of Bloemfontein. On the contrary, it has lost ground somewhat, as Roberts has held tight to recuperate his forces and restock his transport, while the Boers, re- gaining heart, have spread virtually all around him in the Free State and have as- sumed the aggressive once more in Natal. But this tide has apparently turned now, if the fragmentary dispatches may be ac- cepted at full value, and the more confident British observers are now forecasting an advance, coupled with a decisive stroke by the commander in the field, which will offset all recent reverses and drive the Boers backward toward Pretoria for a consider- able distance. Lord Roberts is noted for the care with which he plans an advance, and his long stay at Bloemfontein 1s ac- cepted to mean that he fs making sure that his next general advance will not fail. Accustomed as he is to implicit obedience on ship-board, Admiral Dewey will no doubt be surprised from time to time by the assur- ance of the landsmen who compose the voting masses. ——>++_____ No doubt some of the gentlemen who say they are not candidates intend the remark merely as a statement of present fact not intended to govern what may happen in the future. ——————~++—____ Z A New York man who has died from the excessive use of cigars has at least man- aged to vary the monotony of cigarette mortality. ——__» + —______ It is but a short time till the amateur with an automobile will divide honors with the bicycle scorcher as a roadway terror, ———++s—___. SHOOTING STARS, A Guess, “E Pluribus Unum,” read the Porto Rican. “What is that?” “That's the motto of our government. Don't you know what it means?” “Not exactly. But I take it for granted that it means something like ‘Business is Business.’ "” A Confession. “T fain would sing,” Quoth he, “of spring— The theme, of course, is old, I cannot sing . Of anything, Because I have a cold.” Perfect Accord. “My wife and I agree perfectly about some things,” remarked Mr. Meekton, with a gentle smile. “Indeed?” ™ “Yes. When anything goes wrong I take it for granted that it is my fault. And Hen- rietta always thinks so, too."* Unappreciated Advantages. “Mike. iid Plodding Pete, * piece in de paper "bout a man dat s got into jail fur doin’ nothin’ at all!” “An’ yit he’s kickin’,” rejoined Meander- ing Mike. some o’ de trouble we've been pat to to git into jail out o° the cold has often come clus to bein’ downright work!" The Wrong Tempo. “I understand that musician dedicated a march to you."” “Yes,” answered Aguinaldo; “but we couldn't use it. We couldn't keep time to anything that went slower than a streak of lightning.” Life's Reciprocity. I love my neighbor and I try To take him as he’s found; Nor seek in friendship to apyly A test that's too profound. I do not join the rancorous men Who speak with wrathful mind Against a feilow mortal when He has an ax to grind. ‘This life is far too few in days, While earnest duties press, To let us tread alone the ways Of sweet unselfishness. It’s give and take and give again, So don’t be left behind, Perhaps the day is coming when You'll have an ax to grind. ——— Shepherd's Silver Mines. mere Sun, Go From th The nel, cx B: ympletion of the Porfirio Diaz tun- necting the Batupilas mines in Chi- huahua, Mexico, is a triumph of Governor R. the Alexander prosecuting years.

From the Piiladelphia Times. We sincerely hope that the Senate will promptly approve the proposed amendment to the Constitution, and if it shall be done it will be impossible for the states to refuse their approval. The issue would at once come directly between the corruptionists and the friends of honest government, and the legislatures of the various states would be forced to obey the overwhelming popular sentiment that demands the end of sena- tortal scandals, and the choice of the United States senators by a direct vote of the people. ————>+e____. Need of a Pure Food Law. From the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette. Of the soundness of the principle of the Proposed law and the urgent need of such legislation there can be no question. The people are entitled to protection from harm- ful ingredients in their food and drink, and state legislation has thus far falled in a great measure to guard them from the artifices of dishonest manufacturers and dealers. National laws alone can reach the evil in an effectual way. Government regu- lations are more easily enforced than those imposed by state legislatures, and it re- quires stronger temptation to violate them. It is time a beginning was made by Uncle Sam, who is so zealous in guarding the people's interests in other respecta, in look- ing after their health, their most valued possession. ————_+ +s _____ Give the Navy More Men. From the Buffalo Express. The battle ships Indiana and Massachu- setts are to be laid up in ordinary because the navy has not sufficient men and off- cers to keep them in commission. It is no misfortune to have a considerable number of good ships in reserve, but there should be a corresponding reserve supply of offi- cers and men. It takes a longer course of training to develop competent men to han- dle a navy than it does to build the ships. ———++2_____ Senator Mason Hard at Work.
