the upper chamber the inter.jealous States,
it is true that the cause still exists, and
therefore the concurrence which we under
stood the Cu,rcntto give to the proposition
to abolish or radically reform the United
States Senate, is inconsistent with the fact.
But if no other reason existed for the
maintenance of the Senate, the necessity
for deIiberative legislation, the check of
one house upon the haste or heat of the
other is ample, and a sufficient response to
all objections to the two-chamber plan.
If it may be admitted, for arguments sake,
that the Senate is not near enough to the
people "a proposition we do not yield, the
obvious answer is, amend the method of
choosing the representatives for long
terms Certainly, the necessity for aboli-
ton has not been presented. But the
Senate is chosen by the people, acting
through their representative body, and
thus at all times the selection of its con-
stituent elements is within the control of
the people. However, this question it is not
intended to now discuss. The discussion
engaging the press related originally to
State Senates, and is distinct from that re-
garding reform of the United States
Senate. The proposition to abolish the
State Senates is wholly indefensible. 1t is
chosen directly by the people, as is the
larger chamber, and is as purely representa-
tive, and the same method Of choice pre-
walls in both cases. The only distinction
between the two bodies is in title and ten
ure of office They both exist as whole
some checks and to promote deliberate
legislation, and prevent ill-considered and
hasty Iaw-making. 1t will be direct as
sault upon the safeguards of human rights
when the law-malzing power is confined to
single body of representatives.

Something About Amateur Publishers.
OF the timber of youth men are made.
Who shall say that from among amateur
newspapers offices of the country, now
numbered by the several hundred, may not
come the journalists, literary men, pub
fishers and publicists of the future. Those
who have given thought to the matter and
examined the products of amateur jour
nalists. must conclude that it is beneficial
amusement for the lads and misses of
the rising generation, since it stimulates
thought, encourages a studious habit, and
inclines youth to practices, in leisure hours,
that must benefit it intellectually and
morally That the amateurs cult
vate and develop an enterprising spirit
OF laudable character is also true
There is before us now local evidence of this
fact The National Amateur Press Asso-
citation of America, a large body Of repre-
sentative youth, met in Boston yesterday
in annual Convention. There has been
warm, good-natmed strife between the
amateurs as TO the place of holding the
next session of that body. San Francisco
has been Il candidate, and the California
amateur journals have been making hot
canvass such cities as St Louis Chicago and
Milwaukee being in the field. The Caifor-
MIA Amateur Association sent on to Boston
a. its delegate William 5. Moore. of San
Francisco, a Young gentleman, we believe,
who was born in Sacramento and spent
much of his boyhood here. He evidently
made n warm contest. for yesterday the
amateurs of California tool; to the wires.
and at 4 2. NJ. received dispatches that
not only had the Convention voted
to come to California, but that it
had elected the California delegate
as First Nice-Prcsident Edward Devlin,
the publisher of spirited and sensibly-
edited Sacramento amateur paper, the SlJi,
received his own special dispatches and
Immediately issued an extra of his paper
four pages. each 81 by . inches-with the
conventional triumphant rooster growing
at the head of the columns. BY o'clock
the miniature paper was out, and some
hundred copies mailed as an evidence of
amateur enterprise. 1t appears that here
tofore the amateurs papers have been ex-
Guided from the mails as second class mat
ter, and the young men compelled, by or
der of the late Postmaster General, to pay
single rates. In the extra issue referred to
is an article, headed in large type, "Vilas
was Once q Boy q matter of news that
will possibly surprise some. But the en-
thusiasm of the shout in capital letters is
accounted for by an official letter from the
new Postmaster General to the effect that
the orders of the Department excluding
amateurs from paper mail privileges shall
be annulled, and that hereafter papers pub
lished by amateurs that meet the require
ments of the law governing second class
matter shall be accepted at the pound
rate Of postage; which means, that the
regularly-issued amateur papers, mailed to
regular subscribers and exchanges, shall
enjoy the same privileges as to paying post
age by pound rates as the maturer and
larger journals. 1t is safe to say that Post
master General Villas has made himself
solid" with the bows.

Il Is prObahlethat the country has reached the
maximum of railroad building. There has not
been during the last decade 50 few railroads
earning steady dividends as there are today
Is. +. Bulletin.
VERY true; vet if we are to believe
the anti-railway howlers, there never was
time when the earning capacity of rail
roads should be so cut down and crippled
as now. If these blatant complainants are
needed the country must believe that the
showings of declining earning capacity are
fictions and that the railroad corporations
are exacting from the producers about
double what should be charged for market
ing the products Of the country. Fortu-
nately for prosperity and peace, the people
are not blind. They realize that the de-
cline in railway values is not mythical:
that the business Of transporting is de
pendent upon a great many other condi-
tions than the ability of the producer to
make a profit. 1t always * unfortunate
and lamentabe when the producer IS
unable to realize profit upon his pro
ducts, but the day has passed forever when
the producer can be led by the nose
to the belief that the cause is OF
necessity the rail line that affords him
transportation. 1t is nat one of the
factors, and not, rs the demagogues claim,
the chiefest The Illinois farmer who
some years ago, complained bitterly Of
railways rs his oprressors, because, having
no market At home, he could not trans
port his corn to Philadelphia and sell il
for enough to cover the cost of production
and carriage, discovered the truth and
philosophy Of cause and effect in the sym
patby expressed by a friend who condoied
with him that he was 50 far distant from
Philadelphia, but called his attention tc
the fact that he was farther still from
Liverpool, and it was fortunate that he
had not desired to ship to that point, ii
which case his lamentations might we'll
have been louder, and have included shins
