Mr. MARITIME Turn Como Round at LsSt.
Phila. Times.
Four years ago the Republican people
of Lancaster county elected Edward X.
Martin and Abraham Kline as delegates TO
the Chicago convention, but they were
offensive to the machine and they were
denied the right to represent the Old
Guard, whose eight thousand majority
had chosen them.
Since then Mr.. Martin has been at the
fore to rescue the Republican party from
its machine bondage, and he has seen his
heroic efforts rewarded with success. The
people will now elect their delegates in
Lancaster and none will dare to question
their right to take the seats to which they
will be chosen.
1t is most natural that the old machine
organs should not love Martin, and that
they should endeavor TO weaken his posi-.
tion as q party leader but when LanCas
ter shall again get into line to oversize the
Democratic majority OF Berks, the men
like Martin must bs well in the front of
the battle.
II Martin happened to be elected by the
Republicans Of Lancaster as delegate to
Chicago this year, he would get his seat
without question, and there would be
poetic justice in such choice. The ma
chine organs are doing their level best to
force such an issue, and If they happen to
get it they may find that tho Republican
people, like the cheap boarding house
matron, study what the machine leaders
don't like and then give them plenty OF 1t.

A PROPOSITION has been made and
has been accepted by the Democratic
national committee that the Democratic
citizens OF the territories, including the
District of Columbia, choose and send
delegates to the national convention,
their admission to be subject to the
action of that body. The permission to
send on such delegates is in itself harm
less, of course, but 1t should not be
taken as any concession to the demand
of such delegates for the right OF adms
sion. 1t is to be hoped the Democratic
national convention will not entertain
any such folly. The people Of terrific
ries are not qualified to vote for presi
dental electors, they have no votes in
the law.making power Of the country
and have no state governments ; il their
delegates are to be sent to national con
ventions they should be merely given
the rights of their congressional dele
gates, to be heard and TO be seated
without the right Of vote.
The Republicans allow territorial rep
resentation in their national convention
and they are consistent. In accordance
with the centraliSing doctrines of that
party they admit these delegates because
they are generally made up Of OF
controlled by federal oflice-holders sub
ject to the will and wishes of the party
in power. There is little or NO political
organization in the territories except
that which is held together by the
cohesive power of public pluuder, and
the authority which appoints judges
marshals. postmasters and district
attorneys can nearly always bag the
national delegates. The Democrats dc
not want that system, whether 1t i,
worked by the Office holders or The office
hunters.

All nj Once.

There is again presented for the con-
sidcration OF Congress new device for
recording the votes OF the members
when the ayes and noes are called, the
advantage which Is claimed for IL over
the present system consisting In the fact
that It proposes to register instantane-
ously the vote Of the members on any
measure, instead Of waiting for the long
and monotonous roll call, Only those
who are accustomed to the proceedings
oflegislative bodies can appreciate how
much of their time is taken up with roll
calls. The tendency is to enlarge the
amount Of time thus occupied, by the
constantly increasing membership Of
Legislatures. Congress and political
conventions, as well as by the greater
frequency of roll calls, The call of the
roll is q very frequently invoked device,
too, to obstruct and defeat legislative
measures when straightforward and legi
innate methods would fail of that end.
Sometimes, to be sure, this accomplishes
the useful purpose Of defeating jobs and
dangerous legislation, but often 1t is
exercised by faetious minorities, driven
by evil motives, and is at best an un
worthy and much-abused practice.
But the saving of time is not the frs.
consideration nor the best reason why
there should be an instantaneous register
of the votes in legislative body. The
present system of calling the roll,
whether alphabetically or by districts,
Is grossly unfair, because it discriminates
arbitrarily for and against the influence
OF members according to the place where
their names happen TO occur on the
rolls. 1t often makes the greatest differ
ence to the voting member and the prop
osition he is in favor of, opposed to OF
wants to dodge, whether his name Is
Abbot or Ziegler, or if he happen to hai
from York county or Adams. Who has
not seen the owner of the first name ex
posed to painful and unjust embarrass
ment by being compelled to lead off al
bell. weiher, or another one at the tai
end of the list wait and watch for his
chance to vote on the winning side
which has been determined before tn,
call reached him 7

with hotel indicators and other sigma
plans, will readily suggest that assem-
bly, rooms and members desks coult

that would in a moment and all at one,

sible that this device has not suggested

the idea must have their roots in tn,

The Democrats may take warning as
well as the Republicans obtain advice
from the New York Hrdld's reminder,
that the comprehensive term business
interests" and the preservation and pro
lection of them, about which there Is
80 much said by blatant politicians,
comprehend more than o protective
tariff Tie internal relations of the
country and its foreign policy concern
the business interests ; so do the "con-
stitutional morality" of our government
policy and the honesty of its
administration. All these things
go to the conservation of our material
interests and our real business prosperity.
Special privileges and protective meas
ures, like stimulants in medicine, are use
ful In their way and liable to i'll use. But
honest methods in popular government
must underlie national honor and last
ing prosperity. The tariff is not the only
issue.

out, one of which was holed after run OF

NoTurso more than the official reports

NOTHING more than the official reports
of the flights out" In this city last night
ought to be needed to convince our
citizens and taxpayers that they are
paying too dearly for their whistle In the
present expensive and unsatisfactory
method of lighting the streets. The
fault lies largely with the lamp commit
tee In prcmaturely accepting an untried
and imperfect system which never did,
never can, never will and never intended
to fulfil its contract. When the bill
comes to be footed up, and the city tax
has to be increased for lighting the city
alone, taxpayers at least will realize
this, and will possibly be ready to do
what ought to have been done long ago
