Virtually ntial argument in behalf of method of choosing senators is > members of the upper house are sen by the people even now, with the Jegisiature as a medium of choice, and that to change would be merely to modify a machinery which sometimes serves the pur- Pose of preventing waves of popular enthu- siasm or resentment from expressing them- selves too freely. On the other hand, one cf the most seri- ous Indictments against the present proc ia that the smaller mates are often given Smproper representation, by reason of the opportunities which their proportions offer to manipulators whose desire to enter the upper house ts actuated by unwholesome meitives. The majority of the disputes over legislative deadlocks in the election of sena- tors have occurred in the smaller states, retably the newer states of the west. Penn- yivania and California are marked excep- tions to the rule. Deleware, cited by Sena- tor Hoar, has already furnished two scan- dals in this line, and by her abuse of the senatorial prerogative has served to accel- erate the movement for a change of mode. Tt is impossible to perceive how a system which at least ensures result and which Is confidently expected to redound to the growth of a greater honesty in senatorial elections, can give rise to revolutionary re- sentment on the part of the larger states. Can Pennsyivania, one of the largest of the logically protest against a process h would have prevented the loss to her one of her two seats during one of the most important sessions in the history of the republic? Can California, another of th be expected to join a revolt ainst a new system which would spare her the shame and the loss of such a dead- lock as that which kept one of her seats Iso vacant at the same session? ‘The possibility of a revolt such as threat- ened by Senator Hoar is rather on the other of the proposition. Amendment will prevent it. Delay will foster it. ——__ + « = ____ The Ingredients of Oleo. Mr. Grout’s resolution of inquiry, de- signed to elicit information as to the in- gredients of oleomargarine, ought to pass at once and should then prove an important factor in the fight to s2cure both pure food and honest dealings in this commodity. AS a rule, there has been but little disposition on the part of the dairy interests during the prolonged fight for stiffer laws to cast aspersions upon the wholesomeness of oleo. The chief point of protest has been against the fraudulent practices of the wholesale and retail dealers. It now appears, how- ever, that in all probability one of the prin- cipal ingredients of the butter imitation 1s stearine, or candle taliow, an indigestible, unwholesome article which should be rig- idly excluded from food products. If now it should appear as a result of this proposed rev+lation that imitation butter is unwholesome the movement to secure reformatory laws will receive an impetus that cannot safely be checked. A great crime will hav been uncovered. In any event, whether stearine is shown to form part of the commodity or not, a very pretty play by the oleo interests will have been expose The story go2s that the oleo trust has enlisted the services of certain other interests by representing variously that cottonseed? oil, cattle by-products and lard form the chief ingredients of their imita- tions of butter. Thus the selfish concern of each of these interests has been aroused in behalf of greater protection for oleo and the combination has been powerful enough to prevent action up to the present time on the pending bill designed to regu- late the oleo traffic beyond the reach of fraud. Opposition to the Grout resolution may be accepted as prima facie evidence that the oleo manufacturers are afraid of the effect of disclosures. If they have been guilty of sharp p in their lobbying, or of fraud in production, their interest is, of course, to conceal all the facts of manufacture. But should they obstruct the passage of the resolution it is still possible for the chem- ists of the Department of Agriculture to throw a good deal of light upon the ques- tion by means of their analyses and their already obtained knowledge of the indus- try. Indeed one moral of this situation ts the manufacture of all such food . particularly when a natural ar- 1s is imitated, should be constantly open to government or state inspection, to Insure ss and care in the combination of in the interests of the public states, wh side ld seem that the limit of patience the procrastinating government of Key has been reached and that the s come for action which may bring that power to terms in the matter of the Am n damage c A severance of diplomatic of course, ft be cer- tain to fe the porte to terms at once. But the incident, together with the revela- tion of the sultan's disgraceful conduct the: could not fail to plunge that y rch into even greater diffi- culties than he now encounters and pay- ment would probably seem to him in a short season an ea y of escape from his dilemma. For other governments stand with the United States in this matter of the claims growing out of the disorders of the Armenian massacres, and the example of the United States in the premises would very possibly foreshadow similar action on ir part. In any case the dismissal-of the kish minister from this capital would an act of dignified protest against a course of conduct which can not be defend- ea or tolerated. —_—___+ 2 —_____ It would be very interesting if the man- gers of the Paris exposition could set on which American vis- nble and watch the Count burn mor S mon The Boers are managing to attend to the ordinary routine of agriculture in South Africa, but the British are confronted with some complications due to the sowing of ds of dissension. —_—_—_oe-____ The Boers have had suffictent trouble with Anglo Saxons to make them wary about tampering with the rights of the American eltizen abroad. Russia has ceased to agitate ideas of uni- versal peace and is concentrating its amia- bility on some Asiatic governments. ——— The Result in Louisiana, Democratic suce in Louisiana was a foregone conclusion. The possession of the machinery of election was in itself a great advantage. And to that were to be added the patronage of the state offices and the prestige of uninterrupted success for twen- ty-odd years. A third point was the fact that the Caffery movement encountered the opposition of the federal office-holding re- publicans, who, powerless themselves to wrest the state from the democracy, would prefer democratic to independent control. Continued democratic state control insures them continued place-holding while the re- publicans are in national control; whereas independent success in state affairs would bring about a new deal all around, federal as well ag state. But even had all the re- publicans stood together and warmly sup- ported the Caffery movement the outlook would still have been in favor of the dem- ocrats. The suffrage there; as in several other states, has been tinkered in the inter- ests of the democracy, and, as Mr. Watter- son candidly asserted about the situation in Kentucky under the Goebel law, “the result is not left to chance.”” A democratic legislature, as well as a democratic state ticket, has been chosen, and this insures the retirement of Mr. Caf- fery from the United States Senate. And thus will disappear from public office the man who, with Mr. Gray of Delaware and Mr. Lindsay of Kentucky, stood on the democratic “side of the Senate for sound money against the stlver leadership of his party. He is the last of the trio to receive his walking papers. Mr. Gray is out. Mr. Lindsay was rejected by the democracy of his state several months ago, and now Mr. Caffery joins them. A devotion to the prin- ciples of sound finance has been the un- doing of all three. All three are men of very high standing and ability, each easily the first man in point of ability in his party in his state. : And yet there are democrats in the east who try to persuade themselves that silver has now no hold on their party, and could be and should be laid away at Kansas City as a thing out of date and done for. It Is a thorough misconception of the situation. The gold men in the party have all been sent to Coventry. The silver men remain, and are in charge. Mr. Caffery's defeat is but one of a thousand evidences of just how matters really stand. —_—___<o+—_____ The Croton Strike. The labor troubles at the Croton dam, north of New York city, are not different from the average dispute between em- Ployers and employes, save that the state authorities have acted with much greater promptness and vigor in attempting to sup- press the disorder and to prevent the sus+ pension of an important work. In such af- fairs an early stroke for law and order tells heavily. Had Governor Tanner, for in- stance. ordered soldiers to the scene of the miners’ riots of a few months ago more promptly and given them sterner orders it is easy to believe that the affair would have been far less bloody and productive of bit- terness than it proved. Governor Roose- velt is precisely the kind of executive a state needs in such an emergency. He has never been found guilty of half-measures. And while such a course may offend a few special interests, it is not to be questioned that the great body of the people heartily approve the courage and decision with which a crisis is met by men like Roose- velt. —_—__ + + —____ The next time New York starts in to sup- press a play it might do well to select one of the specimers about whose culpability there can be no doubt and which will not be final!y left in a position to profit by the gratuitous advertising. ——_—_+ ++ ____ As a political convention town Kansas City has a certain advantage in that it never made any serious claims to fame as a city of brotherly love. + + = ___ SHOOTING STARS.

He ts entitled to that opinion. But one thing is very clear, that if 1t were not for sympathizers like Senator Hoar Aguinaldo would have given up this fight long ago and his people would be very much nearer the enjoyment of liberty, while very many American soldiers would have been spared. Aguinaldo himself does not disguise that he is holding out with the hope that the sympathizers in America will be successful at the polls. It is they—the Hoars and the Bryans—that are really maintaining the war, while their Tagalo allies do the actual killing. —~ +2 —____ Popular Election of Senators, From the New York Commerctal Advertiser. It 1s amusing to see how quickly the Senate shelved the resolution, passed by the House with only fifteen negative votes, proposing a constitutional amendment for election of senators by popular vote. Some day, perhaps, legislative campaigns will be made on this issue, and senators will be sent to Washington under pledge to vote for such an amendment. The popular movement for nomination of senators in state conventions seems to have lost its force. This will make the pressure strong- er for a constitutional amendment. Every session develops some new and scandalous reason for it. This year it happens to be Clark. —_~+--_____ ste Paper Law Successfal, From the Boston Herald.
