IT IS probable that Maryland will soon
give an illustration of practical politics.
of decidedly practical sort The farmers
of the state are taking hand IN politics
this year, and as they are generally in
clined to support the Democratic cand-
idate for governor as being a better
man than his opponent and standing on a
better platform, the Republican nominee
has grown desperate. He declares that he
is more of farmer than his opponent, is a
truer friend TO the horny-handed granger,
and is better entitled to the hayseed vote.
Having promulgated these declarations he
now issues challenge to the Democratic
candidate to plow with him ten-acre field,
the work to be done in the presence of a
committee Of farmers, and the award of
victory to be to him who turns the straight
est furrow. The Democrat has not yet
answered, but it is assumed that he will
accept the challenge, and throwing of his
coat and rolling up mis- sleeves, will go into
the field and literally ''plow all around" his
too confident opponent.

SENATORIAL INEQUALITY.

Inc Detroit Free Press gives an interest
ing table which is meant to show that the
United States Senate is not representa-
tive body, and theoretically to prove that
Senators ought to be elected by the popular
vote OF state and not by its legislature.
Ihls latter suggestion could not be carried
out except by an amendment to the consti-
tuition, as that instrument provides that
no state without It's consent shall be de-
prlved of It's equal suffrage in the Senaten
Of course the small states would not con-
sent, and they would not have consented to
the adoption of the constitution in the first
piace-those that had a vote-had this pro-
vision been left out But states may be
divided, as was Virginia during the war.
and additional Senators created thereby.
just as the territory of Dakota was made
into two states
Certainly the inequality OF Senatorial rep
resentation is one of the greatest interest,
especially to the great and growing west.
The Free Press groups ten of the largest
and ten OF the smallest states in point of
population, showing twenty Senators
representing 81, 106,3S3 on one hand, and
the same number of states representing -
994, 535 OH the other. These latter, how
ever, include the Dakotas, Oregon, Mon
tana, Idaho, Wyoming and Nevada, half of
which rapidly increase in the number of
inhabitants, and all of which may do SO in
theevent of the adoption of a complete ir-
rigation system, or the success of the arti-
hcial raln-making projects.
Inc Chicago Tribune, which appears to
have given some earnest thought to this
problem of inequality in Senatorial repre-
sentation, suggests plan like this:
Each state to have two Senators, as now. no
matter what its population may be, and that
every one containing over one million inhabi-
tents shall have an additional Senator for
each full million additional and each noietv of
million. Thus each state with total popula.
ton exceeding l,5OQ,0 COZ would gain Senator.
For instance, Illinois, with a population of g.
oZoUuO would get three. making five in all.
Iowa, with l,9ll.OOO would get one, making a
total of three.
OF course even this is ridiculous. Among
the states that would gain one or more
Senators on the Tribune's plan by the
census of 1890, there is not one of the
twenty in the smallest class, whilst in the
other class the gain of Senators would be
twenty-five. Is there any likelihood of
the little states consenting to a constitu
tional amendment for the purpose of bring.

Massachusetts Prohibition convention held

ALTOGETHER HOGGISH,

Just now the Republicans organs are
claiming a good deal OF credit for their
party on account OF the removal by Ger
many of the prohibition against the impor
tatlon OF American hogs. 1t must be
admitted that the action on the part of our
Teutonic friends will prove beneficial to
American farmers who can convert their
surplus corn into cash through the medium
OF the porker, and to the American brewers
who will find use for the refuse product of
the watts; but it is not so easy to understand
why the credit of extending the market for
our hogs should all be assumed by the
Republicans. 1t was Republican protective
Legislation which induced the Germans TO
close her ports against American
pork, the act being more in the
nature OF retaliation than in the in
terest of the German hograiser or to guard
the health OF the Kaiser's subjects And
the removal of the restrictions has not
been brought about by any act on the part
OF the Republicans. The facts are simply
these: The German people want more
hogs and hog products than they can raise
and produce, and about the only country
from which they can draw q suffi cient sup
ply at reasonable prices is America: the
government thought it would be better to
let the people have cheap pork than keep
then. on short rations and arouse general
dlscontent; hence, for the time being the
retaliatory restriction has been removed,
just as it would have been if Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND were the occupant of the White
House and good Democrat like the late
GEORGE H. PENDLEToN were the repre-
sentative OF the government at Der.
lin. Prosperity in Germany, the
masses being able to pay higher prices
for the flesh of the animal which has the
split-hoof yet cheweth not the cud, will re-
suit in Germany again putting up the bars
OF our pig styes, SO to speak. and telling us
to keep our hogs at home until we will con-
sent to fair trade arrangement.
In this connection it may not be out of
place to mention that in the Republican
luoilation over this hog incident our
friends are blasting one of Mr.. MCKIS-
LEY's strongest arguments, namely his
''home market plea. If the home market
theory is good for the country why should
there be rejoicing over an extension of the
foreign market !1lo@

Wings and Americans as well as Demo-
Gratis, divided upon the practical issues of
those days. The Democrats of the
north, from the time that Kansas and
Nebraska applied for admission to
the union, in 1854, until they were both ad
United as free states, denied the southern
proposition. In spite Of threats of seces-
sion, in 1860 they carried the National Dem
ocrstic convention for STEPHEN A. DoUe-
LASS. And when the war came the
Democratic party furnished as many Union
men for the army as the Republican party.
and they exhibited as much courage and
soldierly qualities as were ever seen in bat
tie. The state Of New Y ork, with q Demo-
cratic governor, poured forth Democratic
regiments and brigades with prompt and
patriotic alacrity, and furnished some of
the most gallant Democratic officers OF the
war.

DRINKING TOO MUCH.

So the Prohibltionists of Massachus etts.
who have just held a convention at Wor-
cester, have discovered that the President
"tnds five kinds Of wine necessary for his
official banquetsI' And from this and
other facts they ''have perfect demonstra-
ton of the complete dominancy of the rum
power in our national affairs, and of the
slavish subserviency of our public serv-
ants to its behests."
We knew something was the matter with
our wsbbling and loose tongued admins
tration, but didn't know exactly that it was
drinking too much. Surely five kinds of
Wine, "from sherry to champagne" are
liable to produce that tired feeling we read
about, if INDUCED too freely, and we
are glad the Massachusetts Prohibi-
tionists have called Mr.. HARRIsoN,s
attention to the case for his own good.
The Vice-President, too, receives a biff
under the ear for getting out license for
the sale of liquor at the 'Shoreham, the
state department for drumming for Amer
lean breweries, and the Senate and House
for winking at the "cold tea" business in
the basement rooms Of the capitol. Now
we don't claim that all the intern perance at
Washington is confined to the Republican
party. Wine drinking in ''blocks of fveu
different kinds prevails to some extent
also at Democratic banquets, we are sorry
to say; and there really ought to be more
moderation on all sides; but the method
adopted by the Massachusetts prohibition
lists is poor one to remedy the evil. Per-
suasion and good example are the last
things these fanatics think of as cura-
tive; and yet when intemperance is ban
ished it will not be driven or lashed, but
kindly led, out of the land.

been purposely played into the latter's

BEGIN NOW.

The season has advanced so far that it is
not likely any street payements will be
laid this year. Indeed, none can be lai j.
for before the necessary preliminaries
could be gone through and the material
brought onto the ground, the storms and
frosts of winter would be upon us, and
work would have to be suspended 1t is,
perhaps, just as well that things are as
they are. The present municipal govern
ment seems fated to do everything which
1t undertakes wrong, from managing the
police force TO laying sidewalk. If it were
TO attempt to put down q street pavement,
the probabilities are that the work would
be botched, and turn out a costly failure
1t ris hoped and expected that
next year the municipality will
be under the control of men
who understand something of the duties of
the offices to whichItnsy will be elected.
Meantime it is suggested that the property
owners on East Temple and perhaps one or
two other streets should take the necessary
steps looking to the commencement Of the
work of paving early in the spring. Unless
they do this next summer will pass as this
has done, and the autumn rains and winter
SHOWS will come to find nothing done. East
Temple street should be paved from South
Temple TO Third or Fourth South, as
should First and Second South from
block on either side of the first named.
That would be something over mile and is
perhaps as much as can be well done in a
season. 1t would also furnish an object
lesson to property owners on other streets,
and induce the laying OF another mile or
such matter the following year. But we
can warn the people interested that they
must not only take the initiative, but must
practically make all the arrangements and
attend to matters themselves, and they
must begin now il they would have any
thing done next year.
