THE PENNSYLVANIA CONTEST.

The unfortunate political imbroglio at IIar-
risburg grows ont of an attempt on the part
of few politicians to shut the people out
of ali part id the choice of Senator. In the
campaign last fall the Senatorial question was
freely canvassed. Mr. Grow was brought for
ward as candidate by the Endorsement of
numerous county conventions. Some effort
was made to set up an opposition candidate,
but it failed for want of any popular support.
The men named could not command any fol-
lowing in the Republican ranks. They were
mere local or State Capital politicians.
Thus, as far as there was any express
sion of the people on the question,
that expression pointed plainly to Mr..
Grow as the choice of the Republicans of the
State. When the Legislature met, q group
of able party managers surprised the whole
State by presenting candidate whom ninety
nine voters out of hundred had never heard
of before, and making vote for him test
of fidelity to the ruling Republican influences
Of the State on the part Of the men,
bers. Mr.. Oliver. the candidate thus projected
upon the Legislature, is respectable and
wealthy manufacturer, but has never made
the slightest figure in public affairs outside his
own county. But for the support of the
organization he would never have been
thought of in connection with the Senator
ship.
The question is. therefore, whether the Penn
sylyania Republicans shall have q Senator
representing them or one representing merely
the machine. The caucus has decided in favor
of Mr.. Oliver, but it would have decided with
equal alacrity in favor Of Smith, Brown, Jones
or Robinson, If the machine had told it to.
A minority of the Republican members hold
out against its decision and stand upon the in
structi0ns of their constituents. They are
entitled to the respect of all men who believe
in fairness in politics and who think that the
people should rule instead Of being ruled by
the men they elevate to Office.
Yesterdays ballot in the Legislature shows
that the men who hold it to be their duty to
represent their constituents are standing to-
gether with admirable frmness. Mr.. Oliver
received 90 votes and Mr.. Grow So votes,
the Democrats standing by Wallace. Not
one of the so men who signed the pledge not
to enter the caucus has deserted Mr..
Grow, and q half-dozen more are act
ing with them. At the same time,
Mr.. Oliver is receiving the solid caucus vote.
1t looks like long struggle, with the vic
tory for those who have the most Saying
power. In this contest the ffty-s&x OppO-
nents Of the machine win be sustained by the
thought that they are not fighting for fac
ton against the people, but for the people
against faction.

Flirting at times from force Of habit with
various side-show parties be has occasionally
excited alanguid curiosity as TO where he would
turn up next; but since he has left of being ag-
gressive and staggering the public has taken
little interest in him. So now that he is not
pushing for an Office OF q nomination, the
Democratic party OF Massachusetts for
nearly twenty years made most OF its capital
cut of him as the representative bad Republic
can, and that broke out in revolt against hum
after he had captured their Convention sent
out for him to give him their nomination tor
United States Senator; and no one protests; no
one is astonished. This is a strange history.
So long as be wanted the nomination for Gev-
ernor, the persstency of his pursuitand the OBJ
stinaoy with which he was opposed made him
one Of the most conspicuous figures in orr poll
tics. At the end of bis failures higher nOmi-
nation comes to him unsolicited, and nobody
gives the circumstance more than passing re-
mark.
Mr.. Butler figures hereafter, we presume, II
at all as a Democrat. A year or two ago he
swallowed the party, and now the party has
swallowed him. 1t remains to be seen which
will set the harder on the others stomach.

the Assembly Committee last year, has secured
the adoption of a concurrent resolution directing
the appointment of a Joint Committee on tax
alton. If this means that the Committee is
TO frame a bill providing for the appointment
of Commission, well and good, though 1T
would seem to be an unnecessarily slow method
of accomplishing the result. But II 1t means
that an attempt is to be made to repeat the
legislative revision of last Winter, we respect
fully protest.
The tax laws have been reduced by various
decisions in the courts and by 1l-considered
legislation to suclr state that it is as difficult
for the average citizen to discover just what
the laws are as it was once for the Court OF
Apoeals to make up its mind what the
law was respecting the City Of New
York. A Legislative Committee has not
the time or the technical knowledge nee
essary to the work of removing the numerous
INEQUALITIES which now exist, and clearing
away all doubtful points. 1t is no disparage-
ment to last years committee, or to any
committee that might be constituted this
year, to say this. AS General Sharpe
pertinently remarked. the people are not sup
posed to elect specialists to the Legisla-
ture. This is a piece of work which specialists
can do best, and the Legislature should see
that it is begun as soon as possible.

however of the suggestion will be extremely agree

years their attachment to and persistence IN this
form Of punishment has subjected them to deaf OF
censure or not very Rood-natured rdcule. We are
bound to say that this does not seem to havemuch
troubled them, for they have gone on with their
whipping quite az vigorously as ever. Yet, we still
think that the whipping post is much more likely
to be abolished in Delaware than to be established
in New-Jersey.
