PTRITY or ELECTIONS.

It is the deliberate judgment Of all the Re
publican Senators except four or five that an
Election bill ought 10 be passed before this
session If Congress ends, and that Democratic
violation OF the time e-honored courtesy Of the
Senate has made absolutely necessary some
rule giving the majority power to bring meas
urc 10 a final vote. So much has been gained
by the conference Of Republican Senators.
Senator HiScock deserves credit for suggesting
practical measures TO that end, supported by
eloquent appeals TO his Republican associates.
Yet no suggestion or speech would have aVallcd
had the Republican Senators been as indiffer-
cnt to the preservation of self-gocernment as
many Democratic journals have represented
them To their honor nearly all appreciated
the necessity for action, and were prepared 70
put aside personal preferences and mako great
personal sacrifices in order to do the work which
the people had ntwSted to them. Nor are the
hesitation and reluctance of few Soma Jrs %
he construed as rcfuSaIs. The conviction that
Democratic violation of all courtesy has made
il impossible for the majority TO do il duty in
the accustomed way does not come 20 all minds
at the same instant.
Senators Of the majority will not fail 10
realize that their party, a great national or
ganization of six millions of voters, has right
to expect from them some concessions OF IN
divdua preference or opinion 10 its deliberate
Judgment Extrayagant language is out of
place on such subject, but certainly a
large proportion of Republican voters feel that
legislation is absolutely necessary to secure
purity of elections. The wishes Of the ma
jority of Republican voters were in that respect
expressed by the votes OF Republican Repre-
sentatives and 10y the declarations of most OF
the Republican Senators in conference. 1t is
not easy to believe that any Republican Sen
ater, in opposition to wishes general and
earnest, will find adequate reason for voting
against his party or for refusing to support
that course OF action upon which 1t may decide
Whether the Election bill exactly ar il came
from the House is in all respects what 1t should

A needed note Of warning Is sounded by our
Washington correspondent concerning the sixty
Republican Representatives who are absent
from their pests. The session is by no means
ended yet, although the weichtiest measures
have already been disposed of by the House.
Yet at present that body is at the mercy OF
the minority. The absentces have no right to
compel the indefinite continuance OF such
situation. No excuse except sickness Is suiii-

All is not yet clear sailing for the directors
of the Chicago Worlds Fair. A special session
of the Legislature has been called for the pur-
pose of authorizing the city to contribute
-. 900, 600 to the Fair fund, bat it has just
been discovered that two amendments to the
state Constitution may be necessary before
this can be done. The Constitution however,
provdcs that only one amendment can be pro-
posed at any session of the Legislature Hence
embarrassment and lamentatiOn. 1t is pos
sible that the people of Chicago may have TO
60 deeper into their own pockets than they
have already done in order to insure the sue
cess of the Exposition. They doubtless now
realize that it would have been wise to under
stand the matter IN all its details before enter
inc upon such strenuous campaign TO secure
the Fair.

Preliminary steps were taken yesterday to
subject the Weekly-Payments law to the ju-
dcial test which is obviously necessary to a
clear understanding of its provisions. An ap-
pication was made TO the Supreme Court for a
mandamus compelling the Controller TO make
PAYMENTS of salary or wages, weekly to all
employees of the city. As the question has at
tracted considerable attention, owing 10 the
varying interpretations made, it is reasonable
to expect that the court will render its de-
csion with all convenient speed.

Evidently the underpinning on which the liquor traffic rests is growing very shaky. The liquor press is not slow to recognize the logic of Justice Fields re- cent decision that ssthere is no inherent right of citizen to sell intoxicating liq- uors by retail The Northwestern Brew CTS Gazette announced the decision under these significant headlines :.
 ssNo Right to Sell-Retailers such by Suf- ferance The Supreme Court of the United States Declares That Sales of Intoxicating Liquors by the Glass may be Absolutely Pro hibited.
 Midas Criterion, the leading wholesale liquor paper of Chicago, says:
 ''Justice Field, speaking for the whole court, sweeps sway the entire structure of the personal liberty party and his argument sounds like New York Voice editorial. We have always imagined, and it has been held by lawyers everywhere, that the right to vend liquors was common law right, inherited from the body of English law, and that it re- quired special statute to restrict such right, but here we have Justice Field solemnly de- claring that there is no inherent right to sell intoxicating liquors by retail, and it is not even privilege of a citizen of the United States or of any state."
 The Washington Sentinel, edited by Louis Schade, the National Brewers at. torney at Washington, waxes ill-natured and abusive. It says:
 ssThis decision shows that our highest court is no longer governed by constitutional obli gations, but has become the hot-bed of the craziest puritanical fanaticism. .... With such g supreme court behind it national prohibition is only a question of time, and we no longer look upon the prohibitionists as visionists when they cry, On to Washington Let us have national prohibition ? SsB*$s We can afford to be serene If this is | ''death," which so many papers say has overtaken>the prohibition cause, we pray that it may be permitted to die regularly every day until the millennium is nshereC in. Fg
 The man who engages in that traffic liquor cannot by any process of reason ing place himself on an equal footing witt citizens who sell other products. They are part of the legitimate commerce which is blessing and not a detriment. Blu the liquor traffic is another and very diff ferent thing. It is tolerated, aud that is all. The sentiment of the age denies it.
