SENATOR HOAR ON THE ELECTION BILL

SENATOR HOAX ON INN ELECfIO-' ~
Senator Il0ar's strong speech III opening INC
debate on the Quay resolution deserves a'-
tontive reading. 1t brushes away the pre-
tencc that the Election BILL which the resoiu-
ton would shut out from consideration Is al
extreme or partisan measure OF queStohaorc
constitutlonaity, and establishes III the mOse
conclusive manner that the measure Is hrs', d
proper and necessary exercise OF power "hi'h
no one has ever denied that the CONSTITUTION
lodges with Congress, and which the Chileu
States Supreme Court has repeatedly recoe-
n;yed in most emphatic decisions. Second, IL
is An exercise OF that power upon deliberate
decision by the House of Representatives,
which is the sole Judge of the elections OF It's
members, that this exercise has become neceS-
sarv. Third. it is simply the application
throughout the country of methods which have
been tried for many years IN Northern ota'es
TO the satisfaction of all parties, and which III
essential features, have also been tricd Tor
wears in England with satisfaction to all par
ties.
Senator IToar deals briefly, and yet very
effectively. with the question Of necessity. lie
proves from admissions of prominent Demo-
crats that elections in large portions OF the
country baye entirely ceased to express the
will Of the people. The law Is needed he
urges in parts of the North quite a much as
in any part of the South, but without II 'he
will of the people on National questions can
no longer be reliably asccltained. HIS re-
cital of the formal pledges given in National
platforms Of 1884 and 1855. by President
Harrison, and In State platforms OF 1889 III
New York. Pennsylvania and other States, may
we'll receive the serious attention OF senator's
most pointed and effective part OF the
speech is that in which Senator lloar shows that
the power TO restrict debate and amendment III
tho Senate must be conceded, and the exer-
else of that power approved, by every Senator
who votes for Mr. Quay's resolution. Pre-
c;selv the same power can be exercised by
amendment Of the resolution, SO that it shall
REQUIRE final vote on the Election bill also
ON a date fixed without dilatory motions.
Senators are called upon TO show reason, as
sincere and faithful Republicans, for refusing
to exercise that power to pass the Election Dill
also which it is proposed by Mr.. Quay to use
in order 10 terminate debate on the Tariff bill
This speech, therefore, points out the only
line of action Which Republicans can take
unitedly, in fidelity to the pledges OF then
party, and without bartering away IN trade
with Democrats part Of their principles ana
their trust from the people. Dispatches say
that there is not likely to be much attempt Oh
the mart of those who favor Mr.. Quay's rcSolu-
| tion to sustain it by argument, and the reason
Is obvious The vote on Mr. IIoar's two amend
ments will tell Republicans which OF the Sen
ators whom they have trusted are ready u
stand by the pledges Of the party

a capital description OF the recent action
of the European Powers in regard to Africa
was furnished tho other day by Lord Salisbury
in his speech at the Lord Mayors banquet
1--WE have been engaged" said he, "fn what
IN n satrist will! probably seem the somewhat
Improbable task Of drawing lines upon maps
Of territories where no human foot has ever
trod. We have been giving away mountains
and rivers and lakes TO each other and we
have only been hindercd by the small impcdi-
ment that we never knew exactly where these
mountains and rivers were" IL is to he hoped
that when full knowledge Of the localities in
ouestion has been gained, all parties will be
pleased with their bargains. 50 far as the
French are concerned it is impossible that it
should be otherwise. For, thanks 10 the quiet
and unobtrlsivc diplomacy of their Minister
Of Foreign Affairs they have secured lions
share in the partition Of the Dark Continent,
and have issued from the disputes in connec-
ton with the division with flying colors.
Not only has France received complete and
full recognition Of her pFotectorate over the
fertile and auriferous Island of Madagascar,
the area of which is considerably superior to
her own. but she has likewise obtained the
acceptance OF her extensive claims in the north
western and central portion OF the continent.
These include nearly the entire western hump
of Africa lying u the westward Of the Niger,
and the whole Of the linterland south Of
Morocco, Algeria and Tunis rs far as Lake
Tchad The territory westward of the Niger
and extending to the Atlantic Ocean is known
as the richest and most productive Of the whole
continent and the famous city of TimbuctOO,

" entitled to the honor by bis wise and pri-
dent administration during the last two years.
He followed in Office the popular Governor

does not suffer by comparison with that OF his

ton by Yesterdays convention. The pat

most emphasis to the school question which
has aroused so much interest in that state.

Where Our Greatest Wealth Is.

Col Richard J. Rinton in the Forum.
In the region beyond the 9Sth mer-
idian of longitude west of Greenwich,
the initial point being ST. Paul, and
its final one, North Platte, Nebraska,
while on the south it extends east
ward to Fort Worth, Texas, eighteen
states and territories were visited
and traversed. Thecontrast offered
by it to the solitude of 1865 were al
most amazing. West ofthe meridian
named there are now at least $4,000
miles OF railroad, and Of telegraph
wires not less than 100000 miles,
Of telephone and electriclight cables.
in proportion to popula ton, there
are miles in use than elsewhere with
in the United States. There is to-day
more property owned per capita,
than elsewhere on the continent.

tainly three-ffths Of the remaining
public lands of the United States
must be sought for in the same re-
g1on; and that, too, without consid-
ering Alaska. Yet how few persons
are cognizant of the fact that, east
and west, the geographical center OF
this union is somewhere in the Bay
of San Francisco; for with the Aleu-
tian Islanders flying our flag within
fifty miles of the Siberian coast OF
Asia, our domain extends, ona north

5000 miles beyond the Golden Gate.
