SENATOR SPOONER'S ARG TMENT.::

Tho MASSAGE of the Aldrch Reciprocity
amendment by The Senate is largely to he at
trihutcd to a lucid and powerful speech made
by Senator Spooncr As the concurrence OF
the House in this amendment is altogether
probabe. great Importance is attached to this
speech, and consequently we take PLEASURE in
LAYING the text before our readers this morn
in-. II will be found t. be n mastery arg'-
mcnt for the cOnsiitutionallty OF the amend
ment and most convincing reply to Demo-
cratic sophstricS and to tho objections lal|cd
nv Senator Evarts. As the delivery OF this
spccch confirmed the faith of the Republican
Senators in the consitutiunaity of the amend
ment. it will undoubtedly have great weight
in reconciling the majority in the House to
the wise and timely compromise which has
been effected.
Senator Spooncr repudates the assertion
that the amendment involves a delegation OF
legislative power 1t passes from Congress
in his Judgment completed act which the
President is t. execute. In certain con-
tinccncy. which is definitely described. he is
instructed to suspend thc operation of the act
and t. impose on merchandise previous! 1fco
certain duties which arc icSi grated. There Is
no legislative function involved IN dcfcrnhh-
ING this contingency and substituting on" sec
ton of the act for the other. Congress merely
leaves the revival of the duir. t. depend upon
a future event and directs thar the President
shall make known that event by pmclamai"n'
senator Spooncr not only contends that such
suspension of free imports and the >uh'iiu-
tion of rotaliatOly duties are entirely III har-
mony with numerous prcccdon'S ana ]uStliI'd
bv high authority hut also c"nvict> the Dem
ocratic Senators of gross Inconsistency in con-
demning the amendment rs unc"n>'itn'i"h-
al, when they themselves are on record III the
Antitrust bill rs uncqulvocally committed u
the same principle of action.
The Senator's treatment Of the favored ma
ton clause is equally thorough. Beginning
with so great an auth0rit! rs John Quincy
Adams, continuing with Edward Livingston
and ending with Mr.. EvartS, he shows that
the State Department has uniformly taken the
ground that tho clause covers gIatuitous IA
yors ONLY. and dos not refer to concessions
for equivalents. The theory that reciprocity
cannot be effected under tie amendment with
ont yitiating commercial treaties containing
the "most favored nation provision Is not
one to be seriously considered in view OF III"
distinction frequently and invariably mad" by
the state Department between general
covenant relating to eratuitous privileges ana
q special compact grounded on reciprocal and
| onuiyalcnt advantages. The negotiation of
tho Canadian Treaty Of Reciprocity with tho
| United States is a cOnI incng proof that Great
Britain has acquicSccd in this view. senator
Spooncr has rendered the Republican party a
great service by establishing the validity and
constitutionaliry of the amendment, ana ny
making it practicable for Congress to adopt
| the Aldrich compromise.

TIE RPd/TLT1N ELECTIONS.

The first elections under Il republican form
Of government in Brazil will occur on Mon
day. A National Congress is to be chosen 10y

When this duty has been pcrf"imcd 1t VIII
elect the first constitutional President and
Vice-Pre,idcnt Of the Republic, and then scli
rate into two Chambers for the normal "N"r-
else of legislative functions. The eXig"ncic>
of the situation have required Il departure" III
the first instance from the recognized methods
of procedure in general elections. Under the
Constitution Senators are to be chosen by IN"
State Legislatures and the President is To be
elected by the people through the medium OF
an Electoral College meeting in the capitals
of the States. AS it would be impracticablc
to set in motion at short notice political
mechanism so complex and elaborate, both
Chambers Of the first Congress are to be elect
ed by direct popular vote, and the President
chosen BY the National Assembly soon after it
meets on November Is. At tho end of that
term it il expected that State governments
win be fully organized and all the conditions
supplicd for Senatorial and Presidential cleo
tons on the American plan.
Suffrage is not restricted by either race lines
or property qualifications my citizen over
twenty -Onc years Of age, not paupcr, can
vote, provided he can read and write and is
not an enlisted man in the army nor a member
Of monastcal order or religious community
subject to vows of obedience. The cduca-
tionM qualification will heavily reduce the az
grpgate vote, since the proportion OF iltcratc
classes in the population is very large All

it is doubtful if many Of them will avail them

and Indian population will be excluded from
political rights, but by reason OF ignorance.
not race. The electorate, being an educated
one, will he enabled to act intclligcntly in
choosing representatives who will exercise the
supreme right of revising and adopting the
Constitution and of eecting the President.
All recent forecasts from Brazil indicate a
peaceful and orderly election with an over
whclming majority in favor of republican in
situations. The Provisional Government after
the revolution in November only needed to do

After long and acrimonious canvass captain
Ti!lman has captured the Democratic NOM
nation for Governor Of South Carolina. The
result is q signal victory for that bold and IN
dcfall.ahlc fighter and for the Farmers Al
lance which ha, heartily supported him and
without whose assistance be would have been
comparatively powrrlcSs. The >tlagh!tout
Democrat, made Il desperate Struggle to pre-
vent him from capturing the party organza-
ton and o,siing them from the control of
state affairs but it WAS evident weeks ago
that they we're simply warning against tho
inevitable. Tillman possesses many Of the
clements which 81 to the making ola leader,
but it is Il question if he would have succeed
cd. even with the Farmers Alliance behind
him. had it not been for the fact that the adj
min;sliaion Of the government of South
Carolina by the >traghtou,S had only to be
candidly examined to convince intelligent
voters that the time had come when fidelity
10 the common veal demanded change.
since last March, when a convention of farm
crs formally placed him in nomination, the
Captain has thoroughly stunned the State
from one end to the other, and has been I'M
sparing in his criticism of the existing lour-
bon rule. The StrlightoutS answered all he
had ~ say. hurting back his charges with not
Il little vigOr. iiui their explanations did not
seem to explain at all events, they were I'M
able with all their resources to check his prog
rcs>. His camE On never received Il setback.
1t remains to be seen whether or not the
vanquished and Inundated l}ourbons will turn
in and help elect him or will show him what
they know about knitting. Writing on tho
day of the convention. "Thc Charleston

aightouts-said: There will be no appeal
among Democrats from the decision of the
