THE ONLY CRITERION.

One feature of the dispute over the
election of Senators from the Western
States calls for comment The Demo.
| cratic organs are teeming with accusations
that the Republicans are trying to steal
those Senatorships. They have so far
been able to produce exactly one definite
allegation to back up their general asser-
tion. That case, on their own assertion,
is of the same character as the trio of
legislative seats in New York State by
virtue of which David Bennett Hill occu-
pies n seat in the United States Senate,
and for participation in which Isaac 81.
Maynard has been pronounced by the
non-partisan Bar Association of New
York unfit to sit on the Appellate bench of
the State.
The fact that Democratic Senatorship
in New York has been gained by such
means does not of course warrant the Re-
publicans in using similar means to get
Senatorships in the West. But it does
show the utter futility of relying on the
statements of party organs for the actual
facts in the case. With regard to the
vital point whether the Legislatures of the
various States in dispute are honestly and
legitimately Democratic, Republican or
Third party, the strenuous assertions of
the organs give little information of any
real value.
Nevertheless the party leaders who are
holding caucuses and appointing steering
committees should understand that this is
the first point to be determined in the in
terest of the whole people. If the fair re-
suit of the election in any disputed State
was to elect a Republican Legislature, a
Republican Senator should be elected; if
TO elect Democratic or Populist Legisla-
ture, the law of honest representation re-
quires Senators of that political faith. So
far the assertions on both sides have been
of the sweeping character which might be
used to cover grab by either. The facts
as to the election of legislators furnish the
only proper test as to what the result
should be.
The necessity that the will of the peo-
pie, properly expressed at the polls, shall
be honestly and fairly represented in the
results of the election far outweighs the
importance of supremacy for any party
whatever.

THE FRENCH SCANDAL.

The sensation in France over the PAN
ANA scandal is magnifed by the arrest of
three prominent persons, under charges
which rank the entire Panama scheme as
a swlndIing operation. The most eminent
names in French society are besmirched
with the dishonesty of the whole business;
prominent politicians seem reduced to the
necessity of charging completely in the
jobbery on others in order to divert the
public Indignation from themselves; the
stability of the Government is threatened,
and Ministers save themselves from an
adverse vote in the Chamber oHly by cast
ing themselves the votes necessary to res
cue them from condemnation.
All this is mainly important to this
country as showing that the evil of undue
corporate affiliations which affects us has
hold of France in an aggravated form. 1t
axes away the ground from under the
theory that the example of Europe in
dealing with corporations is the proper
one for this country to follow. 1t shows
that the power of concentrated wealth to
control political agencies and defy law is
even greater there than here Finally, it
has the regulation, trait of such evils in
the fact that the people who engage IN
such things are in great peril of legal
penalties-when their dishonest schemes
fail to register brilliant success.

Half Dollars Leave the Mint.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 16.-The first 60 900 OF
the new Columbian souvenir half dollars
were shipped this morning from the United
States mint in this city. The first delivery
of 5000 coins left on the $50 express for

the Sl0,0 900 beauty and three other valuable
pieces were placed in the hands of the

A FAIR DECISION.

The decision of the contested election
case of Greevy VS. Scull, in the House
Committee on Elections, gains interest
from the fact that the case is decided in
favor of the Republican Congressman by
a Democratic committee This affords tol-
erably conclusive evidence that Mr. Scull's
claims to the seat were entirely valid. No
one ever accused a Congressional elections
committee Of deciding cases against the
interest of the majority on insu fficient
grounds.
1t is to be credited to the House that it
thus shows through its committee a will
ingness to have contests decided entirely
on their merits, and without regard to
party interests. OF course we may still
hold doubt whether this impartiality is
not due to the size of the Democratic ma
jority, and to question whether Mr.. Scull
would have Jared so well if his victory had
jeopardized Democratic control of the
House.
But let us be thankful for small favors
That even a big Democratic majority
should be impartial where it costs nothing
is a gain over former conditions when we
reflect on the temptation to reprisals for
some of the decisions of contests by the
Republican majority in the preceding
House. Even that manifestation of i'm
partlality is ground for gratitude so long
as our system persists in leaving the de-
cision of contested seats to the most preju-
diced tribunal which can be found.

THE NEW BALLOT IN CITIES.

With the Australian ballot in force, the
influence of party nominations OF endorse
ments in city affairs may, on occasions, be
greatly reduced Knowledge of this fact
seems to be inspiring the Republican man.
ayers in Pittsburg, as we'll as the Demo-
Gratis, to deliberate longer than usual over
their tickets before offering them to the
people. As the force of party nomina-
tions and endorsements decreases personal
knowledge of and confidence in the can
didates becomes more important Under
the Australian ballot a voter has full op-
portunity to choose between men of whose
caliber and tendencies he can fairly judge.
As all names stand together on the same
printed slip, there will be every induce
ment for him to mark the one in whom he
has most confidence.
In this light the party workers will not
have so conclusive an influence as form
eriy, when the printing and distribution
of tickets and the work at the polls was
wholly in their hands. Their most i'm
portant work now is to choose the strong
est men for candidates. After that thev
must rely on the merits Of their ticket and
platform. Nothing interferes with the
free choice of the voter among all the
names that are printed upon the Austral-
ian ballot, whether they be of one party
or another, or independent of all.
The election next February being the
first important one in Pittsburg for city
Offices under the new Australian law, its
result will naturally be watched with par
ticular interest.

BoOKKEEPER FOSTER.

The result of an interview with Secre-
tary Foster, of the Treasury, published in
| The DISPATCH this morning, is interest
ing mainly as displaying his belief in his
own ability as a tinancier Mr.. Springer
may or may not be a less expert book
keeper than MI. Foster, but the latter is
certainly not justified in attempting to
ridicule the former by the differences
drawn from the remarks with which he
credits him. A sinking fund is just as
available for deceptive manipuiations
when it is nothing more than a system of
bookkeeping" as it would be if it were $50
much hard cash. The admission made
by the expert on the debt statement that
methods of accounting vary according to
the condition of the balance, so that pub.
lie opinion may be affected in the most
favorable manner, is tantamount to a con-
fession that the bookkeeping of the Ma
tiOnal Treasury is not all it should be.
The country does not care to have its
finances handled one way under one set
of conditions and another under different
circumstances, so that it is unable to dis
cover unaided Just what is what 1t de-
mands a system of accounting which
shall be consistent, no matter how unfa-
vorable its showing. And if Mr. Springer's
investigation helps TO establish such
system it will accomplish useful pur-
pose. The country considers a public
bookkeeper as expert according to his
ability to display the condition of national
finances at any time, and not in proper
ton to his ability to conceal it.

THE INTER STATE AMENDMENTS

The annual deadset of the railway mag
mates to get the anti-pOoling section of
the Interstate commerce act repealed is
accompanied by the usual special pleas
which have been aired and answered ever
since legislation on this subject was under
discussion. 1t is gwen significance by the
introduction of bill by Senator Cullom
repeating that clause together with an
other amendment This is taken by many
of our contemporaries to indicate that an
original supporter of the bill has changed
his views on this amendment.
This is a mistake. Senator Cullom's
original measure, which he tried to have
adopted, did not prohibit pooling, and
only provided for regulation by COM
mission with very hazy powers. Subse-
quent experience shows thai if Cullom's
views had prevailed the act would have
been even more valueless than IL now is.
incredible as that may seem to those who
know the very slight measure of respect
at present paid to that unenforced enact
ment. 1t was by the persistence and force
of Judge Reagan in the House that this
provision was kept in the bill finally
agreed upon in conference committee.
Besides Senator Cullom's eudeavor to
carry out his old friendship for railway
pools, he presents an amendment calcu-
lated to overcome the difficulty of obtain
ing testimony through recent decisions of
the courts. Its provisions are stated as
follows:
No person shall be excused from testify
ing in any criminal case or proceeding un-
der this section on the ground or for the
reason that his testimony might tend to
criminate or implicate himself: but such
person shall not be prosecuted or subjected
to any penalty or forfeiture for or on ac-
count of any transaction, matter or thing
concerning which he may thus testify, ex
cept that this provision shall not exempt
such person from prosecution and punish
ment for perjury committed in testifying as
aforesaid.
Compare this provision with that
already the law, which is as follows:
The claim that any such testimony or evil
dence may tend to criminate the person
giving such evidence shall not excuse such
witness from testifyine; but such evidence
shall not be used against such person on
the trial of any criminal proceeding.
When we reflect that the courts have
thrown out this latter section on constitu-
tional grounds, the difference between the

CHILE,S LATEST PLOT.

Chile is to be congratulated upon tine
discovery and destruction of its latest
revolutionary conspiracy. All the plotters
are believed to have been captured, and
their complete paraphernalia-inclu
the conventional masks, badges and dag
gers-has been confiscated. They choose
to call themselves Balmacedists after the
illustrious President and suicide of that
ilk. 1t is true that the existing govern
ment is composed of men who were
termed rebels and revolutionists them
selves not many months ago. But it is
also true that they had fair show of
right on their side to begin with, and were
victorious in maintaining their right by
might, despite the well-founded accusa-
tions that the administration of this coun-
try strayed from its path in its effort to
hinder their operations.
Balmaced3 was fighting for another
term of office in the face of constitutional
ineligibilitY, The conspirators of to-day
can only have been actuated by craving
to serve themselves at the expense of the
country, or by a bloodthirsty longing to
aVenge themselves on their victors Not
the government alone, but the whole of
Chile has cause for thankfulness that it is
not at present to be plunged again into
the horrors of interneclne strife. The
torty-six conspirators arrested are all ex-
officers of the army, and they naturally
sought TO bring about a state of affairs
wherein their talents and training would
be of service TO them. The fact that their
employment was to be secured at the cost
OF their country was matter OF no conse-
quence.
The squelching of the plot will give
Chile another space of time wherein to

The accusation of the London Times that
the failure of the monetary conference will
be due to the attitude of the American dele
gates and the country they represent would
be more humorous if it were less pitiable.
If Europe, and England especially, cannot
be persuaded thatinternational bi-metallism
is to its advantage as things stand, stronger
evidence must be produced. This country
has the power to bring forward such evi-
dence as will make persuasion near akin to
coercion, and the power must be used if
necessary. A cessation of American Treas
ury purchases of silver and, if necessary,
flooding of the worlds market with the
accumulated boards, will bring England
to Its financial senses in a manner possibly
painful but certainly effective.
