CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS.

The impending election for congress
man in the Second congressional dis
trict OF this state emphasizes the general
demand for national legislation to
regulate congressional elections.
Henry Cabot Lodge, member of con-
gress from Massachusetts, has recently
written an article in the North Ameri-
can Review in which he urges the
necessity OF an early revision of our
federal election laws. The constitu-
tion vests the power of providing the
times, places and manner Of holding
elections for senators and representa-
tives with the legislatures of the
respective states, but congress may at
any time by law make or alter such
regulations except as to the places of
choosing senators. This clearly implies
that congress has full power over the
election of its members, excepting only
its right to interfere with the states
choice of the place where its senators
shall be chosen. Congress has, during
the one hundred years since the adop-
tion OF the federal stitution, ex-
ercised its power to regulate. elections
of its members only three times. In
1S42 it passed a law providing that rep
resentatives must be elected by sepa-
rate districts. Later it was provided
that such elections should be by ballot.
The day for such election was mad 9
uniform throughout the Countrywide
Tuesday next after the first Monday in
November, except where special acts
enable several states which hold their
state election earlier in the year to
choose representatives in congress at
the same time. In the last congress
Senator Sherman introduced bill to
regulate state elections. This bill is
very comprehensive. Under its pro-
visions congressional elections will be
conducted uniformly and the entire
control of all the steps con-
nected with the choice OF members
of congress will be under the supervis-
ion OF the federal government. Senator
Sherman's bill may have TO be modified
in some essential particulars, but in the
main it will commend itself to republi-
cans as measure that is in full con-
formity with the platform OF the party.
which demands the purity of elections
and the protection of every voter in the
free exercise OF his rights as an Ameri-
can citizen.

The Galveston News is so elated
over the raising of money enough to
run a drill and hold a semi-centen-
NAL celebration that it forgets It's in
ability to corral cash enough for per-
manent exposition, and revealing in
the unexpected joy of its approaching
semi-centennial, kicks up its heels as
follows, in screed at San Antonio:
Don't disturb the dolce far niente
of the inhabitants of the quiet old
city. Summer is coming, and it is now
pleasant to sit in the shade and breeze
and think of the good old days when
the tinkle Of the bells of the mule
trains and the creaking of the ox-carts
brought wealth without worry. Gal
weston is greedy. Her merchants
make money and then squander it on
church and school buildings, hospi-
tails, asylums, railroads, and other
things in which the public are more
interested than themselves. San An
tonic does not want money to be vast
ed in such ways"
Next week the News will learn that
San Antonio has raised the money for
the Llano extension and feel sorry
that she was slow in catching on. She
will console herself, however, with
the reflection that she got in her kick.

THAT proposition to expend $3.50, 600
in street improvements under the di-
rection of the present mayor, without
making any provision for drainage
and flushing the streets will never be

ment. The sentiment OF Carl Runge,
as expressed in an interview in the
city administration paper, is by no
means confined to that gentleman.
Mr.. Runge said
II shall vote against it. My reason
for it is because / believe this admin
istration would spend it moro for po-
litical purposes than for the good OF
