A POPULAR MEASURE.

That the proposition to elect United
States senators by popular vote would
have any chance of getting through the
senate has been looked upon as utterly
improbable. 1t is by no means a new
idea, but it has only within the past
year or two been getting hold upon
the public mind that compels the atteu-
lion of those who try to do the manag-
ing of affairs for the people. The re-
cent speech of the new member of the
senate from illinois in favor of the
change lhas been received with very
great favor both at Washington and in
the country. although he drew pict-
ure of the body before him that
was more realistic than fiattering. 1t
was the first formal effort of the senator
In his official position, and the atten-
ton it received was largely due to the
paIpable fact that the measure is grow
Ing in popularity. Party lines are not
being drawn on it. and its advocates are
found in both parties. 1t will be re-
membered that at the conclusion of the
Illinois gentleman's effort, Senator
MITCHELL, of Oregon, complimented
him highly, and stated that the commit
tee on privileges and elections would
report in favor of it, The opinion is ex-
pressed that it will pass the senate at
an early period, if not at the present
session. The more popular branch will
not be likely to oppose it, and the legIs-
latures will ratify it if their constitu-
ents demand it. Possibly these bodice
will not quite like to surrender one of
the most interesting passages in the
public careers of the members, one that
often affords opportunity for grateful
recollections of a controller of patronage
and pleasant things, but the popular
demand will compel them to vote for it.
That the party platforms will recognize
this drift Of sentiment this year is more
Shan probable. They will be in need of
patching measures, and it has been
shown in elections in Illinois and else
where that this one has value in cam

OPEN TO THEM.

In one of her recent lectures Mrs.
VIRGINIA PENNY, who has devoted her
efforts largely to the promotion of the
interests of women who engage in ayo-
cations, enumerateS some of the rather
novel spheres they are beginning to fill.
a woman in Buffalo operates a street
cleaning department, and it is reported
that never has the work been so we'll done
before. This may be a line for which there
are special adaptations. Woman may
enlarge the domestic broom to take in
the streets to the possible great advan-
tage of some cities. A woman in the
purlieus of Vassar combs hair at rs
cents head, and i'll a few ill.,
stances women are doing the full
work of ''tonsorial artists" In ST..
Paul and other places women are
chiroDodists without regard to pedal be-
longings. One in New Hampshire is
president of street railway and short
railroad in the Southwest has similar
management. Chicago has an OCCASION
al female street car conductor, and an
embaImer. The latter calling, how
ever, is not entirely dependent upon the
ottCC1 CnI SCIflCC tOl lIo OppUT UTILITIES.
In Chicago it would be far easier to en-
umerate the avocations not invaded by
women than those they are entering.
There are possibly few that they will
not be able to fill with entire success
until dress reform effects a somewhat
radical change. Kansas City is credited
with one woman in the fire department,
but they will not be success in the
activities of that depar tment just yet,
nor are they likely to serve on the police
or become locomotive engineers OF hack
drivers. Still, if they aspire to any
positions not quite open to them, it
would be unwise to get in their way.
In recent instance or two school
boards bave objected to women as prin-
cipaiS or as teachers when they take
husbands. There may be objections to
imposing political duties upon women,
but inclination and capacity should be
the only restraints to their entering any
decorous and not unwomanIy spheres of
activity, with strictly modern defni-

when it meets with criticism even from
the representatives of Ulster.-Pitts-

Even Ii the Baifour bill shall become
a law it will be unsatisfactory to the
Irish people, and SO the old battle will

his ridiculously inadequate measure of

New York Recorder.
Mr.. BalfOur's scheme of local govern
ment for Ireland seems likely to die
'a-borning." Even the Conservative
organs can say nothing about it except
the. stereotyDed phrase that it is ''gen-
erous misunderstanding that is said
of every scheme by which England
seeks to retain her hold on the Irish
people, while continuing to treat them
as If they were children in arms. To
go to the country on such an issue
would result in certain defeat for the

THE POSSIBLE EFFECT.

No doubt the Democrats in New York
will find great improvement in the
local situation as a result of the new
census and the apportionment made
under it. The Republicans will be dis
appointed if the city shows less than
100000 population and Brooklyn half
the figures. Only ten days are allowed
Tor the count. and the enumerators, be-
sides the g per diem, are to have one
cent for each name. AS the work is
confined to gathe ring names, it may be
presumed that the lists will not afford
room for complaints of shortage. The
assumption, however. that the country
districts will not be fully taken
Is purely partisan. The enumer-
atorS are under oath to do hon.
est work. 1t is fair to credit
them with at least as much integrity
as the PORTER employees. 1t ought to
be possible, as result of the new deal,
for the Democrats to elect senator
from the state more than once IN twenty
years if they carry the state three
fourths of the time. They should also
have fair proportion of the congress-
men, which has not been the case often.
But the Republicans are not quite right
in the comforting thought that the pop
ular vote cannot be affected by the CEN
suS. The Republicans have usually had
the legislature when they were outvoted
for general officers. The conditions may
now be reversed. If the Democrats can
be so embroiled over presidential
candidates as to demorallze them
there is no use in Disgusting the fact
that the state can easily be lost. There
have been several precedents where
they have succeeded in throwing the
state away by internecine byplays.
They made complete success in this
way in 1S4S, defeating CAss, and
repeated it in 1860. with DOUGLAS and
BRECKENRIDGE. The emphatic major
ity last year was due to the country dis
tricts largely. The Republicans did not
develop their full strength. A danger
signal has been noted in the recent
local voting in these rural districts. II
is unwise to disregard it. The. Republi.
cans may overestimate its significance,
but it is we'll for the Democrats
not to be needless and blind
to the lessons of the past. If the New
York Democrats render their state
doubtful for either of their distinguished
citizens, it will be bad politics for the
national party to side with either ele

NATTERsoN and other sagacious dis
corners may be right in perceiving only
danger in the selection of candidate

RAIN MAKING.

Some additional light is thrown upon
the rain-making business, as the negotia-
lions are had in South Dakota. An in
terview with the water extractors is
published, from which it is learned that
the process is very simple, and can be
worked by any man of intelligence.
Chemicals are the inducive agents, cost
ing not more than S25 or s35. Their
nature and combination are apparently
the secrets that are communicated for
value received. The agents or owners
of them were asked to guarantee two
inches Of rain in each of the months of
May, June ana July. This they declined
on the ground that it would not suit all
the farmers in the date. Some would
want to make hay, or do other
work without rain. They would, how
ever, contract to produce approximately
one-half to one and half inches of rain
on tract 25 miles wide and from 100 to
$50 miles long. This does not relieve
the difficulty. 1t would be as incon-

THE CAT IN THE MEAL TUl
True Inwardness Of the Optic


True Inwardness Of the Option
Bill.
st. Louis Republic.
The farmers ought to understand the
two sides to the testimony Mr.. Hatch IS
taking on his option bill. On Mr..
Hatch's side are the big brokers, who
have capital enough to pay the proposed
tax, and also the men whose speculative
operations in real wheat and pork are
interfered with by the little gamblers.
The big spectators are with Hatch.
They want the small fry frozen out, so
that Big Six in Chicago, a Big Five In
st. Louis and Big Seven in New YORK
can do all the speculation there is to be
done, and as licensed operators handle
the grain and provision products OF the
country.
This would as surely be the effect OF
the proposed tax on the wheat trade as
it is surely the case that the internal
revenue taxes on manufactured tobacco
threw the control of that trade into the
hands of very few large firms in a
very few cities. And in this monopoly
the internal revenue tax protects them
just as the match monopoly was pro-
tected by the internal revenue tax while
it remained on matches. Now.with the
tax off all the capital needed for max
ing matches is enough to buy pine
wood, sulphur and phosphorus. The
Hatch tax would establish monopoly
of handling agricultural products and
protect the monopolists, who would pay
the tax by deducting it from the prices
paid the farmer or by adding it on to
the prices charged the consumer.

CHICAGO CONVENTION.
A Wigwam for 5000 People De-
cided Upon.

A Wigwam for 3, 600 People De-
cided Upon.
Chicago herald.
1t is agreed that Chicago will build
convention hall for the Democratic
party to meet in next June to nominate
the next president of the United States.
1t has sometimes been charged that
Chicago is selfish; that she booms her
self; that she is windy; that she wants
the earth. 1t will ill become Eastern
carpers hereafter to revive this trashy
censure. Chicago did not seek the ma
tional Democratic convention. She did
not raise finger to get it.
The leaders OF the party had learned
from Republican leaders of all sections
that the Minneapolis incident is going
to be the most trying personal expert
ence either party has ever had except
possibly the last Democratic convention
in st. Louis. The Democratic national
committee resolved to bring its conven-
ton to Chicago for the sole reason that
Chicago is known to be the only city in
the Uniten States with hotel accommO
dations and other conveniences suf-
ficient for demands during a great
national meeting.
Having brought their convention here
for strictly personal. and not at all for
geographical or political reasons, the
national Democratic committee pro-
ceeded in way to astOnish the Demo-
Gratis of Chicago. Although the audi
forum is perfectly adapted for ma
tional conventions. and can accOmmo-
date 10000 people, they were not salts
fed with it. They wanted wigwam to
seat at least $1,000 persons. They pro-
| posed that Chicago shall build the wig
wan and then give the national COM
mittee practically all the guest seats
in it. A more graping suggestion
| is not to be found in the
history of conventions. except
| when the same sort of Democrats took
all the tickets to the convention of eight
years ago and left outside the walls the
| subscribers whose generosity had
equipped the exposition building for
the convention.
The national committee has vOuch-
| safed 5000 tickets to the Democrats of
Chicago in return for complete proyis-
ion for the convention. Chicago is TO
put up the building and foot all the
| bills. For this substantial and Material
consideration one-fifth the guest seats
will be at the service OF her citizens
| who put up the necessary money. The
{ local committee accepted these remark
| able terms, and it will scarcely lie in
| the mouths of the national committee
hereafter to talk about Chicago selfish.

For Cheaper Clething.

st. Louis Republic.
To the manufacturers the cheap
clothing bill offers free wool and the
chance to compete in foreign markets,
but at present the manufacturers are
very much opposed to competing in for
this market and refuse to attempt to
sell in any other. In no way does the
bill, as it has been outlined, pander to
this folly. 1t is drawn to admit foreign
wealth to the people and to give the
government its necessary revenues.
There is nothing in it of the theory that
taxing the people excessively is neces-
sary step in the production of wealth.
1t is shaped by the truth that the less
trade is taxed The more wealth will
come into the country and reach the
people through trade.

party, dictate terms to either of the old
parties?
9. Since each state has only one vote In
electing president in the house, how is 1t de-

The twelfth amendment to the constitution
of the United States simply says: Zach state
shall have one vote" but does not say who
has the casting of that vote. Nc.

Neither the Peoples party nor the Repub-
lican party could dictate terms in the next
election, should the matter of the election
of president be thrown into the house be-
cause the Democrats have an Overwhelming
majority of the state delegations. The ma
jority of each state delegation determines
now its vote shall be cast. For instance, the
three Democrats in the Minnesota delegation
of five would determine that the vote of this
state should be cast for the Democratic can
