FRIDAY, FEBRUARY II, 1888.
THE NECESSARIES OF LIFE FIRST

Congressman Kerr smoked out the wrong
man when he tried to bully-rag the House
yesterday into believing that one of the
Missouri Democratic State Conventions had
adopted resolution asking for a repeal of
the internal revenue system. Mr. Hatch OF
deny the assertion and challenged Mr. Kerr
to show the proof, which that gentleman
said he had left at home. Mr. Hatch said
that every Democratic Convention eve
held in Missouri for the past ten years hae.
adopted resolution demanding that Con
gress should wipe off the statute book the
provision of the revenue law which pre-
vented the farmer from selling his tobacco
to any but licensed dealers. That provi-
sion had been passed by Republican
Congress and signed by Republican Pres
ilent, and it fastened the shackles
upon the tobacco grower. Mr. Hen
d,rson took up the cause of his
Colleague, but Jared even worse al
the hands of Mr. Hatch, who told him, il
answer to question to why Demo
cratic congress had not repealed the law
that he had every session introduced a bill
to that effect, but that while it could pas
a Democratic house it could not pass Re
publican senate. Mr. Hatch held that the
tax was put upon tobacco because the gov
eminent needed money. He said he woulc
join in striking all the iniquitous sections
of the internal revenue laws from the
statute when the bonds and debts Of tn,
government, to meet which the interna.
taxes had been levied, were paid, ano
when the tax upon the clothing and fuel OF
the poor people had been reduced. WaI
taxes had been levied to pay war debts,
and as long rs dollar of that indebted
ness remained unpaid tobacco and whiskey
were fair subjects of taxation. He was
opposed to the repeal of the internal rev
enue until the taxes on the necessaries OF
life are first reduced

ALREADY steps have been taken to tinker
the Interstate commerce law, aud the
amendment proposed takes the teeth right
out of the measure, too. The proposed
amendment provides that the law shall not
apply to the handling of property free, or
at reduced rates for the United States,
State or municipal governments, nor for
charitable purposes to and from fairs and
expositions, or the issuance of mileage, ex-
cursion, OF communication passenger tickets;
nor is the act to be construed as prohibit
ing reduced rates to ministers of religion
or to prevent railroads from giving free
carriage to their employees and families
and to exchange tickets for their employees

The grand jury which has under consid-
Grafton the papers in the case against
Messrs Gould and Sage has a grave and
responsible task to perform. 1t rests with
them to say whether these railroad princes
shall be tried for larceny, and having per-
formed their duty the responsibility viii.
be shifted to other shoulders, and Judging
from the manner in which dishonest mel
have been treated Gould and Sage will
have fair chance to vindicate themselves,
of the law.

VERMONT Republicans are organizing clubs ga

yet, while Vermont is safe for the Republican

work New York Press.

brown hair, which is thinning rapidly at the
crown, is combed well back. He refused, it
is said, invitations to state dinners at the

dinner party at Senator Palmer's because he
had no dress coat and was too poor to buy
one.

ELECTION OF SENATORS.

The House of Representatives Com.
nittee ON Revision of the Law has de.
cided almost unanimously to report
favorably the joint resolution proposing
IN amendment to the Constitution for
the election of United State Senators by
the direct votes Of the people.
THIS il q step in the right direction.
Senators are, or at least should be, the
representatives. Of the people fully as
nuch as the members of the Lower
House of Congress, and there are several
excellent reasons why they should be
chosen by tho people direct without the
Intervention of the Legislature. As il
we'll known here in Nevada, tho selection
Of menbers of the Legislature. whom
there 10 q United States Senator to be
elected, does not depend upon the quail.
locations of the individual ~ much as
apon his preference for Senatorial can
didate. Political rings are organized to
control nominating conventions and Sc
lect persons for the Legislature who are
known to favor q Senatorial candidate,
who has the ability and disposition to
spend money to secure the office. The
interests Of the State are lost sight of alto
gsther, the main object being to elect
. Legislature that will send the sack
candidate" to Washington, and for this
the taxpayers have to pay sixty or seventy
thousand dollars in the way of expenses Of
the Legislature.
If the Constitution is amended so that
United States Senators will be chosen by
ths direct vote of the electors of tho
State, Legislature can DO elected in
Nevada that will redacs the membership
Of that body one-half, enact the few laws
that may be necessary in a few weeks,
and reaucs the expenditures Of a session
to one.half its present cost. The people,
not the sack, will then be represented in
She Legislature, and Nevada, with its
4, 900 voters, will not continue to ape
the customs of more populous and pros.
