Increased Switching Charges.

OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 0.-The recent
increase in switching charges made
by the Union Pacific is causing many
complaints from jobbers and other
roads, and some men think they see a
scheme to force payment of bridge
tolls. The Rock Island and Milwau-
kee are able to haul cars across the
bridge into Omaha, but the tracks as
signed to their use in this city are so
located as to be inaccessible to teams.
They are compelled to submit to any
switching regulations the Union Pac-
life may make. 1t is surmised that
the Union Pacific is trying to force the
Rock Island and Milwaukee to deliv-
er their cars at the transfer across the
river.

IN THE FAMINE DISTRICTS.

IN THE FAMINE DISTRICTS.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 9.-Little is
now heard here of the famine. The
condition of the roads has been such
that no matter how large the supply
of grain the government had at its
disposal it could not be distributed,
owing to the impossibility of convey
ances of any kind reaching the places
where the distress prevails. Heavy
SHOWS have now fallen, strong crus!
has formed and the goods and grain
may be conveyed in sledges to any
part of the empire. Much grain has
already reached the famine stricken
provinces, and according to the re-
ports received here, the condition of
the sufferers is much improved. 1t is
the general opinion here that the dis.
tressed provinces will now be enabled
to hold out until spring.

CANADIAN PENSIONERS.

MONTREAL, Feb. 0.-Thele is con-

action of Mr.. Newbury of Chicago,
who has introduced into the United
States congress bill providing that
no pension shall be paid any person
who is not q citizen of the United
States. There are 1900 persons resid'
ing in Canada permanently, who draw
pensions. If the bill becomes law
the pensioners in Canada will have to
choose between giving up their pen
sion or moving to their homes

A onderfuI Clock.

Japan possesses a remarkable time
piece. 1t is contained in a frame three
feet wide and five feet long, represent
ing u monday landscape of great
beauty. In the foreground plum and
cherry trees and rich plants appear in
full bloom; in the real is seen a hill,
gradual in ascent, from which ap-
parently flows n cascade, admirably i'm
itated in crystal. From this point a
threadlike stream meanders, e~ncircling
rocks and islands in its windings, and
finally losing it in a faroff stretch Of
woodland. In a miniature sky a golden
sun turns on a silver wire, striking the
hours on silver gongs as it passes.
Each hour is marked on the frame by q
creeping tortoise, which serves the
place of a hand. A bird of exquisite
plumage MARBLES at the close of each
hour, and, as the song ceases, a mouse
sallies forth from a neighboring grotto
and, scampering over the hill to the
garden, is soon lost to view.

Southern Enterprise,

The southern states are planning to
spend nearly two million dollars upon
the worlds fair. With this amount the
interests OF the south cur be well repre-
sented, and we are exceedingly glad to
note that interest is growing in the
matter throughout the south at such a
rate that a much larger amount of
money will probably be raised than is
now counted upon. There has been
much delay in commencing work, but
now that interest has been generally
awakened there is a very gratifying
display of activity on all sides. This
betokens much good to the south, for at
present there is nothing of such vital
Importance to the south as this great
exposition. We hope that the plans now
under consideration will be successfully
carried out, that a much wider interest
will be awakened, and that much more
money will be available for worlds fair
purposes in the south.

The hopes of the free silver men of favor
able legislation at this session have received
crushing blow. Chairman Springer, of the
Ways and Means Committee, must be con-
coded to be fully informed as TO the program
decided upon by the dominant party in the
House OF Representatives. lie made this
announcement in a speech at the banquet of
the New York Business Mems Democratic
Association, Jan. 8:
can state without any fear OF successful contra
dciion, that there is the slightest probability
Of a free coinage bill becoming a law during this
Congress, nor Is il likely that any amendment to
the existing law will be made. II any measure on
this subject is passed il will be one which Demo
Gratis North, South, East and West can aud will
cordially support.
When this declaration is read second
time there arises a suspicion Of lack of
igankness. At first it would seem that Mr..
Springer and his party did not intend to
allow free coinage bill to pass the House.
closer reading shows that he does not
promise this, but asserts that such a measure
has 10, the slightest probability Of becom-
ing law" Is his sole reliance upon the
certainty that the President will veto such
a bill? 1t may be. If the House passes a
free-ccinage bill it will be concurred in by
the Senate. Then the responsibility Of pre-
venting the measure becoming law will be
thrown upon the President, and his message
leaves no doubt that his veto power will be
promptly exercised

III is very easy for men 20 attract public
attention if they care not what they do to
make sensation. This seems TO be the case
with Mr.. "Buck" Kilgore, of Texas, whose
most striking performance in the five years
he has been in Congress was in kicking a
door open during the last session in resisting
a lawful order Of Speaker Reed lie added
10 this notoriety last week when he stopped
the passage Of the joint resolution to send
cargoes Of breadstufTs to the starving Rus
slams by saying: Since Congress seems in
clined to look after everybody's people but
our own, object"
This, Of course, attracted general atten-
ton 10 Mr.. Kilgore, and he undoubtedly
enjoys the unenviable prominence. Nothing
can be more indefensible than his churlish
blocking Of the wheels Of a most laHdable
proposition. Looking after" the Russian
people will not in the least hinder our
making the most ample provision for those
Of our own who may need it, and Mr.. Kill
gore has not yet pointed out where our own
are in need Of any special looking after. His
act was a piece OF senseless, malicious bun
combe, of which he should be heartily
ashamed. Humanity dictates that our
people should generously contribute 10 ale
viate the suflerings Of the furnishing people
Of Russia. Our ears have never been deaf
20 the call for help from suffering people Of
other lands. Why should we now withhold
our help in the face Of the greatest misery Of
modern times? We should help the Russians
for humanity's sake; we should help them
for the sake Of gratitude-because Of the
friendship their Nation gave us in the days
when we sorcly needed friends. Bot all this
is naught to Mr.. KiIgore when he wants to
make display of himself

ELECTION OF SENATOR'S BY PoTULAI
VOTE

ELECTION OF SENATOR'S BY POPULAR
VOTE.
There is no installing the fact that the
proposition TO elect Senators by the direct
vote of the people is rapidly gaining favor.
At least dozen bills have already been in
troduced into the House to secure that
result That introduced by Representative
Bryan, Of Nebraska, is attracting most at
tention. 1t contains the following provision :.
Proridcd That whenever the people Of any Stale
shall either through their Legislature by the Con-
stituton ofhe Stale make provision for elections Of
United States Senators by direct vote Of the people,
then thereafter the United States Senators shall be
elected la such State by direct of the people.
n plurality shall elect, and the electors shall have
the qualifications requisite for electors Of the most
numerous branch Of the State Legislature.
This leaves il optional with each State as
TO how il shall elect
The main difficulty we see will be in
getting adopted the necessary amendment
TO tho Constitution. Constitutional amend
ments-State or National-are VIGOROUSLY
difficult 10 get through. People are ex-
law, and il usually requires great cOnvul-
sion, like that which brought about the
adoption Of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments, or intense and long
continued agitation, to secure any change,
important OF unimportant.
The election of Senators by the Legisla-
tures-lille that Of the election of Presi-
den, 10y Electors-is a relic Of the dis:rust
Of the Judgment of the people by the found
ers of our Government. We suggest that
the surcst and quickest way Of bringing
about the proposed change is a course like
that which reduced the Presidential Flee
tors TO the position Of mere political automa-
tons. Lei the question Of the SenatOrship be
made an issue in the State election immedi-
ately preceding the election of the Senator,
and all the candidates for the position be
passed upon by their respective parties, and
nothing be left to the Legislatures but to
register the will Of the people as expressed
at the polls. 1t would not take long to make
this the established custom all over the
country, and it would be as unheard of for
Legislatures TO elect other than the popular
candidate. as il is now for a Presidential
Elector 10 exercise the liberty given him by
the Constitution and vote for some other
candidate than the one whose name headed
the ticket upon which he was elected.
