Gen. Rosecrans has prepared, and pro-
poses to introduce into the House early in
the session, an amendment to the constitu-
tion forever forbidding the practice of
polygamy in all places under the jurisdiction
of the United States. Such an amendment
can do no harm and may possibly in the
future be productive of some good 1t is
not likely, however, to materially assist in
the solution of the Utah problem, For
twenty years we have had law forbidding
the practice of polygamy in the territor-
les. Nevertheless the practice continues
because no method of effectively en-
forcing the law has been discovered. An
amendment to the constitution would en-
counter precisely the same difficulty.

Politicians and Newspapers.

The denomination of Speaker Keifer by
the Republicans was not such "yindica-
tom of that gentleman's course as gives
him cause for much exultation. There are
1923 Republican members of the House of
whom but go were present in the caucus, and
of these a voted for Mr.. Keller There is
not much enthusiasm apparent in this ac-
ton. Speaker Keifer's letter to Congress
man Phelps of which summary was print
ed Saturday. long and not strong. He
glories in what the 47th Congress accom-
plished under the whip of the elections that
occurred in its midterm, as if he were emit
tied to the credit of it. He thinks there is no
just ground of complaint against him and
no opposition to him except on the part of
persons who have been misled by "a dicta-
torial, vindictive and demoralizing, not to
say corrupt press" In another place he
speaks Of 'the vile stuff poured out by a
section of the press of New York City,"
Anybody who was not SO thoroughly con-
WINGED of his own goodness and greatness as
Speaker Keifer appears to be, would recog-
nize in the almost unanimous Judgment of
the press of his own party fair verdict of
failure and would respect it. Politicians
are apt to have high opinion of the homes
ty and ability of papers which commend
them, and are very quick to impute dishon-
cradle motives to those which condemn
them. But the public knows that the news.
papers, to say the least, are as disinterested
critics of politicians as the politicians are of
themselves and that the newspapers of
party are not too willing to tell the truth
when it will hurt their friends. If the news
papers said about men in public life only
what they would like to have said, there
would be great deal more of misrepresen-
tation than there is. The politician wants
the people to think he is always serving
them with all his mind and soul and
strength, and with wisdom which is as in
scrutable as his patriotism is sincere. 1t is

Col. Il. n. Sprague of Auburn is the pres
ent Secretary of the Republican State Com
mittee rice Edward K. Milliken. We are
given to understand that Mr. Milliken's ap-
pointment to that position was in the nature
of an ad interim appointment, the arrange
ment being that the new chairman, Judge
Wing, should at his convenience select a
Secretary of the Committee agreeable to
him. The committee is now fully organized.
The Kennebec Journal says that Col.
Sprague is "the right man in the right
place."

The Lewiston Gazette explained last week
that what it intended to imply in its re-
marks the week before on capital punish
ment, was that the influence of the death pen
altyin suppressing murder would not be fully
exerted until the repeated infiction of it had
convinced men of murderous propensities
that indulgence of them was certain to be
punished with death. Democratic papers are
generally great stickers for strict construc-
ton. 1t requires an exceedingly liberal con-
struction of the Gazetts's remark that i'm
prisonment for life is virtually the punish
ment for murder in Maine to make that
meaning out of it.

The French program is now said to be
to occupy Bacnimh and Sontay to satisfy the
honor of the Republic, and then to ask
England to mediate. The trouble with this
program is that the occupation of these
places is likely to dissatsfy the honor of
China which is quite as important in
the controversy as the honor of France.

The civil-service law, rules and regula-

rate of compensation equals or exceeds 5000.
Until lately it was understood that this ex-
cluded from the operation of the law per-
soDs appointed only temporarily whose COM
pensation for the whole term of their service
would be less than 5000. But the Treasury
department has lately ruled that although
an officer may not serve more than one day,
yet if his pay during his term of service is at
such rate that if he were to serve year it
would amount to 5000 it is necessary for him

O'Donnell, James Carey s murderer, would
probably have stood much better chance to
save his neck if the Inyincibles had not in
sisted on regarding him as an 'avenger'' and
making his cause their own. By making a
hero of him they virtually confessed their
belief that he killed Carey because Carey had
been an informer and was hateful to them
and they destroyed the probability of the
theory by which his counsel sought to save
him, which was that he killed Carey in self
defense. 1t was impossible for jury not to
be somewhat prejudiced against defence
which the friends of the prisoner were doing
everything in their power to discredit.
