the fact thar several iron mills of TelneS-
see. which nd ior many years manufact-
ured charcoal iron, had exhausted the tim

the people OF Tennessee like their gov
eruor." he said: We like him much bet
ter than we do the legislature. Our legis-
lature is composed OF ! wandering set OF
individuals who do not seem to understand
that they have duties incumbent upon them
and the enactment Of law IS looked upon
by them as i violation Of the ten command

introduced regarding the age Of consent

finally defeated them
What-Not then informed Mr.. Bellat that

twelve years had been introduced in the
Texas legislature, and he said:
1T should be passed by all mesns, but
should be so amended as to raise the age 10
sixteen or eighteen years instead Of twelve
OF course there are many reasons why the
age should be raised, but the reason that
should prompt the support of the legisla-

PoPULaRIzING SENATORIAL ELEC-
TIOSS.

Two states have made known through
legislative resolutions their desire 10
have the people select United States
senators by direct vote, instead OF by
state legislatures. These resolutions
are supposed to reflect the sentiment Of
the new Farmers Alliance element in
politics, as it is known that the ALI
rnce looks with disfavor upon the pres
ent method of choosing the members
of one of the branches OF the national
congress. But it does not appear hat
this view is we'll founded, for the legis
latures that have asked for the change
in the constitution to reach the end
proposed are not largely made up OF
Alliance members, while in those states
where the Alliance has control there
was no such resolution passed. One
would suppose that the Kansas, Ne
braska and South Carolina legislatures,
which are under the rule of the ALI
ance, would have been tbs first to de-
mand this change in the constitutional
mode of electing United States sena-
tors, but the matter has been passed by
without action so far as they are con-
cerned.
There are many good reasons for the
proposed change, and as many and as
good against it, The best outcome Of
popular election would be u Democratic
senate. Several states are in the habit
OF sending Republicans to the United
States senate and at the same time they
are fairly reliable Democratic on the
popular vote. New York has had no
Democrat in the national senate since
Francis Herman, who was elected by
the groundswell Of 1874, though it has
more often gone Democratic than Re-
publican. Connecticut has kept two
Republicans in the senate since Eaton's
term expired, ten years ago and at al
most every state election tie Demo-
Gratis have polled more votes than any
other party. Ten states now have
Democratic governors that are repre-
scented in whole or in part by Repub-

L9ovIDATiNG Ms INDEBTEDNESS.

In the Ohio Republican state conven-
ton that met in the spring Of 1888 to
select delegates to the national conven-
ton, John Sherman was candidate for
president, and his hope OF success was
built upon the undivided support of his
state delegation. There was opposi-
ton to him, though, and this opposition
was about 10 unite on Congressman
Mckinley He and Sherman, or his
friends and sherman's friends, got to-
gethcr and patched up the rent in the
party and Mckinley firmly refused to
let himself lie considered a presi-
dental possibility. The Ohio deIega-
lion was instructed Cor Sherman.
The first ballot at the Chicago con-
vention showed that Sherman could
barely be considered in It," Many
Of his supporters were cold and weary
with truitless ballotings. Occasion
called Mckinley 10 the stand, and he
made catching speech that awoke
great enthusiasm, and it looked like
stampede vas about 10 set in for him,
which would have wrecked Sheruan's
fortunes in an instant. But Mckinley
stood against the great temptation, and
resolutely forbade the Ohio delegates
voting FOR him. He held steadtast for
sherman to the last, though it was
without avail, and carried out his part
Of he agreement.
His reward has come. Sherman has
had himself interviewed and pro-
nounces for Mckinley for president
Harrison is not the man. he is too old,
and the people ask for younger man.
Sherman is, himself, an older man than
Harrison, and this meaning is that he
gives up the ambition OF his lie and
turns to carry out the unCompleted
part of the bargain made and entered
into between him and Mckinley in
1888.

After the commission had removed this
embarrassing incubus it proceeded 10 re-
wise the salary list, which now gives the
president, yice-chairman and secretary
5000 per annum each and the director-gen-
eral his original salary Of $4,000. If Secre-

that his salary be cut 10 5000 the commits

bate and remarks indicated the young
