WHAT TO DO.

The Republican convention in Iowa
is soon to meet, and the party steerers
are anxlously inquiring whittier they
shall steer. Aside from the common
burden imposed by the tariff shapers,
there is especial embarrassment grow
ing out of the local situation as affected
by the highest judicial definitions. The
consensus of Republican opinion" as
far as indicated, is that the Prohibition
element must be plaeated and held fast
In view of the spreading Original
package" 1t will be insisted that the
bill of the Iowa senator shall be passed
by congress. not as conclusive. or really
effective measure, but step toward
the final end Of making prohibition
national, and planting it in the federal
constitution. This is all satisfactory to
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1890-05-24
A POPULAR REFORM.

The movement to elect United States
senators by the people in place of the
legislatures is receiving surprising aid
of late from unexpected sources. One
of the most notable of these is IN lii
nois. The almost unanimous action of
the local Democratic conventions in
that state in instructing for Gen.
PALMER leaves no doubt as to the
course of the state convention. This
policy has so evidently struck popular
chord in that state, as indicated specially
by the expressions of farmers and labor
organizations, that it has alarmed the
Republican leaders. They are begin
ming to realize that they have very
unusual task on hand if they would
save the legislature. This they must
have, for it not only elects the senator
but makes all the appointments under
the census, and the same party need
exists there as in Ohio and other
states of having the districts reformed
by Republicans, just as the monopo-
lists must have the tariff revised by the
friends of protection. These Illinois
leaders are concluding that to avert this
disaster they, too, must come INTO the
field with man designated for the SEN
ate. The past week this has culmi-
uated in strong demand for the nOmi-
nation of eX-Gov. OGLESBY for the SEN
ate, to meet Gen. PALMER on the
stump. In support of this movement it
is urged that the popular mind is becom-
ing extremely FESTIVE over the tenden-
cies of the United States senate to be-
come the citadel of corporations and fa-
vored interests, and to be too far away
from the people. 1t is admitted that in
that state the party is democrat
lied by factions and controlled by
rings. the people are hesitat-
ing to follow the lines being
marked out at Washington, and the
emergency demands that their most
trusted leader shall be made the stand
ard bearer. The urging of this policy
in that state is not likely to promote
the harmony of the Republican party,
as the milliOnaireS who work legiSlat-
lures would be left out. and would not
contribute to the election of OGLEsBY.
Whatever the Republican action, the
capture of the legislature under this
policy would be a lesson to all parties
that would be impressive. 1t would
show that that this was a popular thing
to put in the party creeds, and most
platform makers have a partially for
the material that will bring votes in
tight times. 1t would add to the inter
est of the campaign in this state if both
parties could designate their candidates
for the senate at their state conventions

Mississippi river steamboats, and naval
vessels, and for the continuation of the
survey of the Illinois river. Mr.. Hol-
man. of Indiana, raised point OF order
against the amendment, but it was
overruled. Mr.. Henderson, of Illinois.
said that the committee on rivers and
hal boTS had not considered the
proposition, and it should not be
included in the bill without such
consideration. Mr.. Vandever, of Cali
fornia, said the jealousy existing be-
tween Chicago and st. Louis had hith-
erto prevented the adoption of this
grand national project of connecting the
lakes and the Mississippi-a project
which would certainly be carried out in
the end, and would place Chicago at the
head of Mississippi river navigation. as
we'll as IN command Of the lake navlga-
ton. Mr.. Hit, of Illinois, explained
that the Hennepln canal was entirely
Independent of the pending proposition.
Mr.. Catchings, of Mississippi, moved to
amend the amendment by fixing
the appropriation at S1S50O0. This
was accepted by Mr.. Post; but the en-
tire proposition as amended was re-
Jected by the house. When the para
graph appropriating 100000 for the
construction of the Illinois and MiSSiS
sippi (Hennepin) canal was reached,
MI. Turner. of Georgia, made the point
of order that the committee OH rivers
and harbors had no jurisdiction over
canals. Pending a decision, the COM
mittee rose. The speaker appointed
Mr.. Mcmillan, of Tennessee, as ref
cree on the customs administrative bill
in place of Mr.. Carlisle, excused. The
house then took a recess to evening,
when large number of. priva tie PEN
sion bills were passed.
