Illinois, proposes in the senate con-
stitutional amendment providing for
the popular vote for senators, he will
have strong support. 1t would be a
surprise if immediate success should
follow the effort. In recent interview,
Judge HOLMAN, who is a strong advo-
cate of the measure, and who has been
in congress long enough to understand
the situation, asserts that it will be one
of the first propositions introduced in
tie house at the opening of the session.
1T will go to the senate early enough"
says Mr. HOLMAN, Ito give them plenty
of time to act upon it; and senators,
whether they like it or not cannot af-
ford to defeat the measure. A popular
sentiment will demand the change, and
for senators TO oppose it would be con-
strued 10 signify fear on their part to
trust their fateS to the will of the peo-
pie If it is indorsed in the Republican
platform. as is probable, the senators of
the party will be forced to favorable
action, unless they make damaging eX-
hibition of party insincerIty. The
tainted atmosphere that has seemed to
be due to eXhalations about the legis-
lature of this state in familiar senatorial
passages viii give the measure popu-
lar strength that no party is likely to
antagonize. The Republican aspirants
for the senatorship next year are no
doubt considering the probability that
their fate will be determined before the
state convention. individuals who do
not want to show their hands until the
men to observe the exhibit are elected,
will quite possibly find that the current
is too strong to be ignored. There are
features of interest in this view.

Although raw sugar is to come in
unveXed by the customs officers after
the turbulent month of the year has
departed. there is no urgent call for
sympathy with the sugar trust. 1t is
not going into destitution and despair.
In fact. it was not forgotten by the new
tariff trainers. 1t is to be protected
against dangerous competition from
abroad. Having 50 nearly a monopoly.
and doing SO extensive a business, mod
crate margins aggregate handsome
sum. Its gross revenues last year eX-
ceeded Sl45, 1000, 900. and half cent per
pound viii make good deal of sac
charlne matter in its treasury. The
raw sugar admitted without duty is
not much used. 1t goes through
the refining hands of the trust
and is fitted for consumption. Pos
sibly the margins will be reduced
somewhat, but they will still be cheer
full. Under the disappearing tariff the
duties on refined sugar are three and
three and half cents per pound, and
on raw sugar one and a half cents.
Now the trust will pay no duty, but
have the protection OF tue half cent per
pound. Sugar will be cheaper, but the
stock in the trust has not shown any
forebodingS. The liberality of the trust
i'll contributing TO the campaign needs
in 1888 entities il to recognition in the
tariff. Then the bounty feature for
home production comes into operation
in July, 1t is matter of speculation
as to what this will cost the
treasury in the decade, as it is
expected TO enormously stimulate
the production. In fact, it is
reported that the maple sugar makers
down i'll Vermont are already producing
far more than ever before, although it
Is not undo! stood that the machinery
for turning on the fostering bounty
could be made available this season.
AS those having less than 500 pounds do
not come in. it is found necessary to
pool their products. On the present
basis, the bounty is computed at about
SlO,0O0,000, most of which will go to The
Louisiana planters. They grow about
400,0O0,000 pounds of sugar to some 20.
100000 pounds of cane sugar in other
states. The Vermont people make 80
00O,0O0poundS or SO of the maple article.
and there are few sorghum and beet
producers. The large expectations OF
increase are in the beet product. but
that is an infant industry in this coun-
try as yet.

LEGISLATIVE POINTERS.

The most ubiquitous peice Of legisla-
tive tinkering that has been undertaken
in our state this winter is that concern
ing the interest laws. Ubiquitous from
the strong probability that if the pro-
posed law finds Judgement upon our
statute books IL will work most unjust
discrimination against the commercial
welfare of some sections of the state
Marshall Leader.
Just as we go to press the rumor
comes to our ears that broad acres of
swamp lands are being distributed by
the agents of the several land grant
railroad companies in the state to our
legislators, as an inducement to secure
their influence and votes against House
File No. $50, MIR. Foley's taxation bill.
We want to express at once our en-
phatic disbelief in such state of things,
for the measure is of such decided adj
vantage to the people of the district af-
fected, that our senators and representa-
tiveS cannot fail to heed the voice of
the people. All the land owned by the
roads would be insufficient to purchase
Our Tom. "-Aitkin Age.
The Washington Post has been grow
ing wildly hilarious of late over the

turn for examples in practical morality.

CANDIDATE HARRISON.

To great many readers the presi-
dents reference to one of the most i'm
portant provisions of the Mckinley
tariff law will seem like a disclosure.
There is free raw material for manu-
features for eXport.-New York Sun.
~
President Harrison has been talking,
and he thinks that it would be well if
everybody would stop discussing the
tariff. also stop discussing finance and
criticising or apologiZing for the Repub-
lican party. One wish remains un-
spoken. 1t relates to the denomination
and reelection Of the present chief
magistrate. Dallas News.
~
1t is unnecessary to follow Mr.. Har-
rison through the details of the long III
teryiew IN which he he sets forth to Mr..
Crawford various platitudeS on public
questions. Mr.. Harrison is not forci-
bic or an instructive talker except when
talking of himself, and the only features
of this early boom are those which in
dictate his purpose of taking the Repub-
lican nomination for himself and pre-
venting the loyal Mr.. Blaine from
getting it.-Boston Bost.
The debate over Mr.. HaHfsHn's
chances is thus greatly restricted. 1t
may as we'll be admitted that, all other
things being equal-and just now they
seem to be-thc judicious are likely to
select him as the fayorite in the race.
Mr.. Blaine's organ protests that Mr..
Blaine will not run again. Mr.. Har-
rison has faithfully carried out the Re-
publican platform of 1SSS-tOo faithfully
for some good Republicans-and he has
a tremendous handicap in his favor

If the Republican party and its presi-
dent were in the way to recover the lost
confidence of the country they would
repent OF and apologize for the Reed
usurpation: the extravaganza of the
billion-dollar congress; the subsidies !;
the unsupported trusts; the effort to
regain control of the government
through the force bill. AS Mr.. Harrison
does not believe that these things call
for an apology or repentance, he holds
that they are right. In this he differs
from popular majority of more than
1900, 900, and he will continue to differ
from the large part of the voters so
long as he holds such vlews.-New

Senator DonnelIy has been talked
about so much during the present ses-
