Senator Chace's brilliant move in re
signing gives the Democrats another
United States senator. The margin IS
quite narrow now and one or two able
senators might succeed i'll giving the
Democrats a majority by following SEN
ator Chace's intellectual example. The
ex-senator introduced the international
copyright law. If the English can steal
him we are willing to let tie law rest for
a time. He is literature in the Dean
Swift sense. The dean once said: The
man who writes is the biggest fool in
the world" 1t is not true that eX-Sena-
tor Chace writes, but as he holds the
blue ribbon for the end of the sentence
it is quite certain that he does.

The Topeka Democrat is grooming
Mayor Cofran, of Topeka as the Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress from the
Fourth district The Democrats failure
to defeat Cofran for mayor has changed
its estimate of the man who it now
thinks is possessed of sufficient ''get
there qualities to win the congressional
race. We hardly think SO in any state
of case, and with the Democrat support
ing him-he would be beaten from the
start However, a man who is smart
enough to beat the combination made
against him for mayor of Topeka is too
smart to be entrapped this early by an
open opponent. Guess Mr.. Cofran will
serve as mayor during the term for which
he was elected.

Mr.. Robert p. Porter, who was one OF
General Walkers chief assistants in
compiling the tenth census and who
homes to be superintendent of the
eleventh census. gives it as his opinion
that the new apportionment OF congress,
men based on the enumeration OF 1870
cannot go into effect in time to be the
basis of representation in the electora!
college in the presidential election OF
1898. The first congress TO be elected
under the new apportionment VIII be the
fifty third. the members of which VIII
be chosen at the same election that de-
cides who shall be the next president.
Mr.. Porter thinks that the electors must
be equal in number to the members o,
the congress in existence when they are
chosen.

proper system in time for adoption in its
second session, that is all that can reason
ably and safely be expected. There is
but one possible way in which revenue
reduction can be effected at an extra
session of congress. That might be by
the passage of joint resolution repeal
ing the tobacco tax. Even this might
not, however, be practicable. Neither
party is clearly enough convinced in re-
gard to the desirability of the measure.
There is large minority of both parties,
in both houses of congress, whose minds
are not well enough made up to warrant
precipitancy. A small minority Of
either party could, especially during an
extra session, keep the tax from repeal.
President Harrison, after the excite
ment and turmoil in which he has lived
for the past eight months, needs freedom
from engrossing matters of legislation.
Give him opportunity for needed rest.

1t is now nearly forty years since the
final collapse of the old Wing party.
The men who cast their first vote at
twenty-one for Winfield Scott. will have
past their sixty-first year when votes are
given for the next president. But al
though the s'old southern Wings" of the
days of Henry Clay do uot comprise one
out of hundred of the voting popu-
lation of the southern states, yet tie
old whig sentiment in favor of protec-
ton is still very strong in the south, and
is constantly growing stronger. The time
will come, in very few years, when the
Republican party will gather them all
in unless they are driven off by the
adoption of some unwise, injudicious
policy in relation to questions other
than the tariff.
