Tho path of the election cyclone through the
State legislatures makes the United States Sen.
ate almost as interesting ground for specula,
tiOn as the House of Representatives. A week
ago no one dreamed that the Democrats could
see majority of that body in sight for eight OF
ten years to come. Democratic majority
isn't vet in sight, but the political horizon
stretches that way The present membership
of the Senate is 81. that body having AZ Repub.
LEANS as against 81 Democrats. The member
ship viii be increased to eighty-eight by the
addition of Senators from the States OF
Idaho aud Wyoming and forty-fve will there
fore be majority; Twenty-eix Senator'S go out
March 4, 1891. OF these sixteen are Repub-
leans and ten Democrats, as follows
Outgoing Republicans-Califor Stanford
Colorado, Teller; Connecticut, Platt Illinois
Farwell; Iowa, Allison; Kansas, ingalls, :
Nevada. Jones; New Hampshire, Blair; New
York, Evarts North Dakota, Pierce; Oregon,
Mitchell; Pennsylvania, Cameron; South Da-
Squire; Wisconsin, Spooner. Total 16.
OUTGOING Democrats Arkansas, Jones Flori-
Ga. Call; Georgia. Brown Indiana. VOORHEES,
Maryland Wilson: Missouri Vest; Ohio,
Payne South Carolina Hampton. Total. 10.
OF the Republicans Allison of Iowa and Nor
ril of Vermont have been reelected OF the
Democrats Blackburn Of Kentucky AMI Wilson
of Maryland have been reelected, while Demo-
cratic successor Judge White) has been chosen
to Eustis in Louisiana, and Brice has been Sc
lected to succeed Payne in Ohio Of the
manning six there signs of q Republican
Legislature in any of the States On the other
hand, the election of Democratic Senators to
succeed Blair in New Hampshire and SpoOner
in Wisconsin is said to be assured.
The Democrats also claim Senator from
New York. with possibilities in Illinois
and Colorado. If All these claims hold good
the Democrats would gain five Senators, and the
Senate would stand Republicans. AZ Demo
Gratis, A. But the Legislatures Of Idaho and
Wyoming will choose Senators before March 4,
1891 and as Republican Legislature have al
ready been elected, the next Senate will be:
Republicans, 46 Democrats, AZ.
Under such balance the elections of Sena-
tors after 1891 would be fraught with great i'm
portance. for change of two would make
tie. and the Vice President chosen in 1892 might
hold the casting vote of the Senate.

New Nars 10 Utilize the Soil.

Farmers in this country are asking
how they can diversity their crops and
make valuable the soil that is hardly
worth the interest, the taxes and the
working. In England also this ques-
tion is up for debate, and answers have
for some time been coming H. One IS
raising fruit to preserve il for home and
foreign consumption. One feature or
life that is increasing is the extent to
which food is prepared so that II needs
only a little manipulation for the table
In this way housekeeping has materi-
ally chaoged, and the process Is going
on in England even faster than in this
country. For example, in Kent county
75, 600 hancs are employed IN preparing
for the market fruits IL q great many
ways. Where butter is dear preserved
fruits are taking its place, not IS =
luxury. but as a common article Of
foo1, especially jam, which sells IT
England con siderably less than butter,
aud is deemed a NUTRITIOUS article OF
food. There are many ways TO put
the sol! TO use at once practicable and
TemuneTRtiVe. Our farmers are too
much inclined to stick To the beaten
paths, without troubling themselves 10
look for new ones, or hardly thinking
how their farms can be made prcfisAOls
in new ways. Large towns and cities
have created the demsnd and supplied
the means for buying many things not
before sold in quantities. The lnteili-
gent farmer will SEE for himself how
this state of things has sprung up right
under his nose without his having
noticed it. The soil, like the metals
ana other raw material. may be made
useful, and even profitable, in ways
that have been little or not at all em-

THERE is more reason this year says


THERE is more reason this year says
the New York Commercial Advertiser,
than one usually finds in the predic-
tions of prosperous trade year for the
country in 1890. 1t is true that Wall
street, the financial barometer has been
down pretty low within the last month
or two and on az least one occasion
dropped pretty nearly to the storm lev
el. The chief reason for this was the
local embarrassment arising from the
collapse Of the trust bubble, and this
had little If any effect upon the country
st large. We haye harvested this year
the largest grain and cotton crop in our
/ history, and It's movement TO the coast
is now so large that the railroads eau
not furnish cars enough to carry it.
| The iron business has awakened from
its two years lethargy and is now at
the height OF activity and prosperity.
Tue farmers who sell grain and cotton
and cattle 10 Eastern men will buy
goods and groceries in return and the
year promises to open with period OF
almost unprecedented activity in trade.
Best of all. this trade is on no inflated
and no speculative basis. The dis
coursgsmens in Wall street has served
a useful purpose OF checking the specu-
lative impulse. and there is no indies-
cation that we shall have 1873 over
again. Even the abnormal and dan
| QerOus advances in land I,rices which
have accompanied previous years of
prosperity are to be expected now for
the "land boom" rose and fell before
the present good times began. AS for
the higher rates are themselves an in
dex of cur buster trade and IL they
suppress e1trsvagant speculstions then
so much the better.

Judicial Outrage in Florida.

That the authority OF the United
States Court in Florida has been gross
~ perverted for partisan uses WAS
proved In the trial of a case before
Judge SIayue a. jacksonville on We'd
| nesday.
a letter OF recent date was read iu
evidence in which United States Mar.
shal John Il. MIzeII wrots TO c. C..
Kirk, his deputy, 10 make out a list
OF htty or Sky names Of tried and true
Republicans from your county regis
tration list 20 serve as jurors.n - The
list was forwarded as directed, and the
Federal Court is alleged 20 be conduct
ed on the basis of packed jurIes from
which all but Republicans approved by
the Machine leaders are carefully ex.
cIuded.
The outrage is of the most aagrant
and boldest Sort. but Judge SWayne
seems TO treat it as trifiIDg informali-
" respecting which the chief difficulty
is that il has been found out. The case
on trial when the disclosure occurred
grew out of the elections the accused
at the bar was Democrat, and the OBJ
!vous effect OF the selection. of a hostile
PARTISAN jury was TO prevent a fair
hearing and just judgment of the
cause. The letter OF the Marshal was.
in fact, complete evidence of the greats
est Job of Jury fixing" on record.
The law regulating the drawing of
JuIies Is very specific in its precau ions
against partisan administration. The
act OF 1879 provides that the drawing
shall be by the Clerk of the Court and a
Commissioner, "a well-known member
of the principal political party opposing
that To which the Clerk may belong, -
nd NKrr y l.. a.
their work as follows: THE said clerk
and tie said Commissioner each 10
place one name in said box alternately.
without reference to party affiliations. -
But IL appears that by the conspiracy
OF the Florida officials il made not the
least difference In the world what was
done at the statutory drawing. The
lists furnished TO the Clerk by the dep
uty Marshal, at the order of his chiaf
were II seems. made up of selected
tried and true Republicans, Out of
ouch supply only partisan Jurors
could be drawn, and the fnal selection
could not be made without reference
20 party affiliations" as the law re.
quires.
This allegation Of packing of United
States Jaries is the most serious of
many severe charges against the pre-
sent Administration that have arisen
out OF recent events. Equal justice be.
tween all citizens and exact observance
OF the statutes designed to prevent
fsvoritism in courts, are matteIe that
lie close to the foundation of popular
government. No contempt of them
or light dealing with them can Be tol-
Grated by any honest official or any pa
trloiic citizen.
Now let US see what steps will be
taken by their proper superiors about
the lawless and corrup;ing doings
charged against the Court officials in
FLORIDA What has Mr.. Attorney-
General Miller, head of the Depart.
ment of Justice, to say on the subject ?

Policies Reversed.

In calling attention to the marked
change that has taken place in the pop
ular conception of the relation and
proper functions OF tbs government
toward private affairs, Mr.. Cleveland
has done well. \ strong party has
grown up which 20 a greater and great
er dsgrse locks 70 the government. TO

Legislature, to afford relief from diff
cul les growing out of natural causes
and germens only 20 individual inter-
ests-a party 10 which tne goverums3t
is deus ex mlchIna. suppisHtiug the
personal energy of those concsrned.
Perhaps no tendency of modern civil
iZation, in America at least, is more
marked Jban this. To IN ever incrras-
ed extent appsals are made for ''sueh
practical tokens of goodness" n use
the euphemism Of contemporary. ss
steamship subsidies. The sugar grow
er is equally urgent, If for political rea-
sons less successful. in demanding 4
bounty as an iuducement 20 con iuue
the prosecution OF bis industry. The
financial affairs of the nation are put
in jeopardy and exposed TO a continual
menance in order 60 satisfy the de-
mspds OF the owners OF silver mines
dlssa,i.sfied with the natural down
ward tendency in the price of their
commodity due to increased production.
And 6nslly from the whole long list of
those who have tasted the Gnsryating
draught OF protection, who have be
come dependents upon the favor of
the government and Oeuefcisries under
its taxing power" there arises .
unanimous demand for that protection
in steadilysincreasiDg measure.
IL is useless 10 attsmp. to gloss over
these facts by calling them certain
well established and time tested priu-
ciples of political economy The
phenomenon is one which may well ar
rest ,ha attention of the statesman and
the puhlicist. II marks q radical
change of attitude on the part of a
large share OF the population toward
the functions OF government. The
jealous preservation of private affairs
from the interference of the State that
was long the badge o. ADglo-Saxon
freedom seems to have decayed. Gov
ernmenS is no longer regarded as some
thing imposed by the necessity of main.
tanning social aud political order, but
as means FOR the furtherance or pri-
vats interests.
The SOcialistic idea of a paternaI
government, regulating the occupations
of its subjects and directing their lives,
is advancing. From the extreme pro-
tectiOnist doctrines, involving gov
eTnmentsl interference TO adjust the
relations of different interests. to create
and to destroy indusFr ries as a matter of
policy and not OF caprice. the step is
short TO that socialism which merges
the individual in the State not in poll
tics alone, buC In his entire existence.

1T is proposed Gays tho National
Democrat, to subsidize certain steam
ship liues these run, or are to run, to
the west Indies, Mexico, Central and
South America. To these countries
we export a considerable amount of
goods, but little or no farm produce.
The great bulk OF our farm produce.
which is itself the great bulk Of our
total exports, goes TO Europe. Nobody
proposes 10 subsidizs steamship lines 10
Europe. We presume that the farm
ers Of this country see the point. The

should Fay the freight for the farmers
OF this country. About how long do
the farmers intend TO stand the kind OF
legislation that the Republican party
gives the country.

Baby M0narehs.

The great importance that has been
att acbed by all the leading men in
Spain 10 the life of the baby King il
lustrates the peculiar advantages DOS
sessed by q healthy male infant for the
duties of modern monarchy. Nova
days, in Europe, a King reigns, but
does rot govern. He Is simply the
symbol OF embodiment OF an abstract
idea. He represents something fixed
and tangible that does not change with
the changes OF government and the ups
and downs OF popular sentiment. The
actual executive power is in the Minis
try, subjec6 to the control of the repre-
sentatives Of the people, and the active
interference of the monarch in public
business is usIaliy resented and is like>
ly 10 do mischief. An adult monarch
is often tempted 20 such interference,
but child is not. Hence the advan~
tage OF baby king.
In some countries the little king s
sister would serve Just as well. The
people OF Holland, for example. will be
I quite pleased when the young Princess
| WilheImina shall succeed to the ;mbe-
/ cile old king. But in Spain there still
| are stickleTs for the SIlic law who do
not believe in true succession In the
/ female line. This was the whole
/ ground of con tention of Don. Carlos,
| and though Alfonso came in under .
/ title derived from his grandmother,
| yet his sons succession tended TO es-
tabiish the line against the claims OF
/ the Carl;sts. The reversion OF the
1 crown 10 a girl will be very likely TO
! revive the pretensious of the present
| Don Carlos. and the monarchy in Spain
j IS not quite strong enough to bear any
serious division among its partisans.
AT the same time Republican senti>
ment is not strong enough TO do with
out the monarchy. The leading Re-
publican statesmen, like CASTELAR,,
maintain that the Nation must grow
accustomed TO representative governs
ment ard parliamentary customs before
it can safely dispense wi b the form of
| fixed executive. This is what has Civ
! en- the Republicans also q special inter
| est in the life OF the little king, who
served the purpose of a figure head SO
well under the existing constitution.
| From their point of view, however, the
little sister will do IS well, the mosher,
the Queen Regent, being d lady of great
tact ana good sense who evidently holds
the respect and affection of the whole
] people and who maintains the dignity
! OF the Crown without meddling IN af'
