We clip the following from the Hal
amasoo Telegraph of Saturday. Yester-
day afternoon Daniel Crane, youngest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. 4. A. Crane of
Woodward avenue, and Herbert Green,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. +. Green If
Thompson street, started for an extend
ed drive in the country, and staid over
night with friends. This morning they
starred home. wrapping themselves in
heavy Overcoats, caps, etc, and with
warm gloves were well prepared To meet
the biting atmosphere. Just before
noon they were this side of Comstock
and close to the Michigan Central track
As it was time fort day express going
west, that train appeared in sight
Either the boys did not see the train
until too late, or the horse became un-
manageable and plunged forward onto
the track. At any rate, in an instant
the train struck them, killing both of
the boys, the horse, and wrecking the
carriage. The two boys were carried in
the top of the carriege upon the COW
catcher for quarter of mile. As soon
as the train stopped the boys were placed
in the baggage car aud the train backed
up To the scene of the accident. Green
was dead, but Crane gasped several
times, before life was extinct. The
horse was found over in field dead.
The remains of the boys were brought
Ia the city where they were taken To
the undertaking rooms of Carder ~
Henika From there they were taken
To the homes of the bereaved parents.
The bodies were but slightly disiigur
ed, that of young Green being the worst
His face was badly bruised and bled
somewhat. Cranes body and face were
hardly distigured, with the exception of
wound about the mouth The track
for some distance runs parallel To the
road, when the latter suddenly crosses
the former. The engineer and fireman
say they did not see the carriage as the
fireman was busy shoveiing coal and
the engineer was on the opposite side
of the cabin. Daniel Crane was about
12years old and Il bright promising boy.
The funeral services were held yester-
day at one o'clock, the remains being
laid at rest in Mountain Home Gene
terry. The NoRTHERNER extends
sympathy to the bereaved parents.

Eleeting Senator's.
lsan francisco Chronicle.

Senator Mitchell's proposed
amendment to the Constitution,
providing for the election of senators
by popular vote, should commend
itself to every thinking and reason
ing American citizen. AS Mr..
Mitchell well says, the present
system of electing senators Is un-
republican and vicious and is
equivalent to a declaration that it is
unsafe to commit the election of
members of one house of the ma
tional Legislature to the people.
Morris this all. Besides being a
reflection upon the honesty and in
telligence, or both, of the voting
classes, the system Cf legislative
elections Is demoralizing in the ex-
treme To the legislatures Of the sew
eral states. The legitimate function
Of legislature is to frame laws for
the guidance Of the people of the
state, but as we know from long and
sad experience everything is subor-
dinate to the election of United
States senator in senatorial years.
Men are selected, nominated and
elected to the Legislature not for
their skill and knowledge in franz
ing laws suited to the needs of the
states, but because they will vote for
this candidate or that for the United
States Senate. Precinct cauCuses,
county conventions and state con-
ventions all rcvolve upon the same
pivot, the election of the senator,
and every state office, from governor
down, is affected by the same dis
tributing consideration.
And when the legislature has met
who is ignorant of the debauching
and degrading influences that are
brought to bear upon it, all tending
to one purpose? ? Independent of the
actual gross and shameless bribery
winch is so often resorted to either
to hold some men up or pull others
down, the whole course of legisla.
ton for the session Is tainted with
the senatorial election. Committees
are formed in pursuance of bargains
made by friends of senatorial can
didates, bills are passed ar defeated
according to program, appointments
under the state are promised, and
the whole work Of the session and
the whole conduct of state affairs
for the ensuing two years are made
to hinge upon the election Of the
United States Senator.
with the election relcgated to the
people no such condition Fittings is
possible, A rich man may buy a
legislature, but he cannot buy the
people of II state. The very best evil
dcnce of the propriety of the change
recommended by Senator Mitchell
is that while public scandal has al.
tended the elections of senators in
many states of the Union, the elec-
tions Of representatives have uni
formly been free from anything of
the sort, If the people of California
can be trusted to elect six represen-
tativcs there is certainly no reason
why they could not vote honestly
and intelligently for two senators.

First Result Of the Pau-Amcrican
Conference.


Representatives Of nine of the
American republics-nancly, the
United States, guatemala, Nicara-
que, Salvador, Honduras, Bolivia,
Ecudor, Peru and Brazil--have
signed II formal treaty of arbitration.
1t is expected that three more
signatures and seals will bc added
very soon, and it is hoped that the
signatures of all the American
powers will bc secured In the course
of the summer and autumn.
Possibly James q, Blaine may never
bo president of the United States,
but whether he Is or not his name
will go down to history rs one of the
greatest of American statesmen, his
crowning achievement being the
negotiation of this treaty 10y means
OF which peace is virtually secured
among the nations of the three
Americas. Ii is true that Mexico
Is not n party to the contract, and
that Chile aud Columbia and the
Argentine Republic have not yet
expressed their assent 10 the scheme
of International arbitration, but this
Is of little consequence since the
great majority of the American re-
publics have signed the treaty. The
moral force OF the compact will be
so great rs to have its effect upon
these non.canseutiug natisns, espe'
cially II they suspect that in case OF
war made 10y them the peaoemakcrs
would stand ready to conquer
peace, should such = step bo neccs-
sary,
IL is not easy 90 overestmUte the
importance which this step will as
sune in the eyes of Europe, The
diplomats of that country are ac-
custom,d to look below the surface
of things and 10 read between the
lines OF treaties aud agreements, and .
when they see nine American re-
publics, including the United States,
solemnly agreeing 10 submit their .
national differences toarbitration in
stead OF making war, IL will not fail .
10 occur 90 them that the next aud .
most natural step would be for these
same nations 10 band together tor
the common defense in base OF AT

power. The logic OF the situation
