THE CONVENTION GOES WEST

The rule Of the majority, which is the su.
preme law of American politics, was illus.
trated again in the selection Of Chicago for
the National Democratic Convention on
June 2lst The first ballot showed clearly
that all questions of fitness, comfort and
convenience were subordinate, as they were
likewise in the Republican National Com
mittee, to the determining circumstance that
the convention had TO "go west" There
might be, as there evidently was, choice
between Western cities, but there was no
question of choosing any Eastern city.
The taking OF the convention West has a
sgnificance that is not hard Of appreciation
on the part Of the astute politician. When
"the West" is spoken Of II means the geo.
graphical area between the Alleghanies and
the Rocky Mountains. This area contains
the preponderance Of population and pc.
litical power. II controls the actions of
Congress as well as National Committees.
May II not determine also the decisions of
National Conventional
mo one" says leading Democratic jour.
nal Of New York, "can reach an intelligent
understanding Of the national political sit.
uaton who does not understand the politi.
cal sentiment Of the West"

COMING QUESTIONS.

The question as TO whether or not United
States Senators shall be elected by the PEG
pie is being agitated by the statesmen at
Washington. They want TO get 1t before the
people for discussion. There are, OF course,
the pros and cons. Those in favor Of elect
ing Senators by popular vote hold that cor
ruption in State legislative bodies is so fla
grant that an honest expression of the peo-
pies will is almost impossible through the
present channels. 1t is claimed that rail
roads and great corporations by the liberal
use Of money and by the promise Of emolu-
ment are able TO control enough votes in
any legislative assembly to throw the bal
ance Of power TO man who will act as their
agent. This, they contend, has had the effect
of making the Senate rich mans club.
On the other hand the supporters of the
present manner OF electing the Senators
claim, first, that the Senate being elected as
it is, is not so directly responsible to the
people, and consequently seldom lends a
demagogic ear to their current whims. This
makes a check, a counter weight on the
safety valve that prevents an explosion. 1t
represents the good sense of yesterday, In
stead of the veer of the weather vane Of TO.
day, the conservatives hold, being the agent
of the reluctant minority. These atlantis
further say that there is no more corrup.
ton in legislatures than there is at the polls,
and m RIM tha 4 rapraaant vaa ara M hattar
nor worse than the people they represent.
They hold that when the people want an
honest representative they must work for
him, that other men work for themselves
and cannot be blamed for doing So
They argue that 1t Is easier TO deceive
careless public and costs less than to buy
mercenary legislature. They point TO the
probate records Of deceased Senator'S estates
and say that the "Rich Mems Club" Is a
myth.
These are the arguments set forth. The
people will doubtless be forced to consider
the question. 1t is a serious ono and q
change In the method proposed will work
great changes in national legislation.
Another proposed change or question re.
lates TO the method Of electing the Presi.
dent At the last election Cleveland re-
ceived about one huadred thousand more
votes than Harrison, yet the latter is in the
White House. This is because fifty thou
sand majority in one State counts no more
in the electoral college than majority of
one. To a foreigner who is not familiar
with the history of this Government such a
condition of things is puzzling And even
from an American point Of view 1t has
ceased to be satisfactory-hence it is that a
new mode Of electing the President and
Vice.P President is constantly meoted.

THE SPREADING EPIDEMIC

The discovery Of the mcrobe of the grip
has evidently had no result ia arresting the
spread of the disease, which seems to diffuse
itself at will and defes all at prevention.
Its additions to the death. list all over the
civilized world begin TO assume alarming
proportions. While ii is seldom direct
cause Of death, 1t is easily to be dreaded
quite as much as any epidemic Its victims
are chiefly those whose systems are en-.
ieebled by old age and other ailments.
While the origin and method of diffusion
OF the disease are matters of uncertainty,
there is one proposition concerning it which
may reasonably be insisted on. That is that
"all epidemic diseases are dirt diseases. -
They represent natures punishment for
violation Of the laws of sanitation and
cleanliness, public and personal. la pro.
portion as We neglect the requirements of
modern sanitary science We may expect
such visitations, and We may expect to be
wholly free from them only when we call
into requisition the full operations of such
methods.

THE ROAD PROBLEM.

From all that we can learn the people all
over the State are looking anxiously In the
direction Of the solution of the road prob
lem. The recent meeting Of the County
Commissioners in Baltimore brought out
the fact that great amount Of conflicting
opinion exists regarding the building of our
public roads. All agreed that the public
convenience and good required good and
durable roads, and that the Legislature
should turn Its attention in this direction
But when il came IN discussing the adop.
tion OF some plan to remedy the existing
evils the various speakers were wide apart
in their views.
Certain facts in regard to the building of
public roads are evident and can be embod-
led in general law applying to all parts Of
the State. One of these that good roads
will require the expenditure of large sums
OF money, and must be taken into account
in any system Of road making which may
be devised. Shall the work proceed slowly
by using the income from taxation, or shall
the various counties issue bonds TO build
the roads quickly and pay for them after.
wardsp In either case the matter can be
made the subject of general statute with
the same provisions for all the counties.
Another important fact is that good roads
cannot be secured by piing up dirt at hap.
hazard. There lie need Of grading and the
employment Of certain scientific principles
of drainage and laying Of good foundations
These also can be provided for by State
supervision or by leaving the care of the
roads in the hands of the County Commits
sioners, as now, only they need TO be EN-
powered to employ an engineer and to pro
coed in the work of building the roads so a,
to economize funds and bring about salts
factory results.
There is now no more important measur,
requiring the attention of the Legislator,
than that of some law looking to the bettel
condition of our public roads. The more
the subject is examined the more it become,
apparent that simple and comprehensiv,
read law which shall place the responsible
ity OF road making, shall provide adequat,
means for raising money, shall lay dowr
certain fixed rules Of building roads, ant
which shall be general In its PROVISIONS
There is no good reason why this mattel
shall not be adjusted with our law. maker

SOUNDING THE KEY. NOTE.

Representative Rayner. of Baltimore, on
Tuesday, made his first speech during the
present session of Congress, which again
places him in the front rank among the ablest
debaters in the House The occasion was
the introduction by General Lanham, OF
Texas, of an amendment to the rules au-
therzing the committee on coinage to re-
port a silver bill at any time. Gen. Lanham
took occasion TO make an elaborate speech
in favor of the free and unlimited coinage
of silver. But alter he had finished the

ocrats generally crowded around Mr.. Ray.
ner and Messrs. Williams and Hoar, Of the
Massachusetts delegation, to reply. While
the consultation was going on Gen. Catch
ings, who had charge of the debate, said :
81 yield half an hour to the gentleman from
Maryl and" Mr.. Rayner was in the middle
aisle at the time and Immediately took the
floor. He took up Gen. Lanham's speech,
and from the applause given him and the
compliments paid him it was apparent he
had voiced the sentiments of the conserva
tive element of his party. Mr.. Mills and
Mr.. Breckenridge, on the Democratic side,
and Mr.. Reed and Mr.. Lodge we've atten.
tive listeners.
| His sentences were put so iorcibly and
his eloquence SO attractive that few men
have received such attention upon the floor.
When he said "There is one thing in this
land that attracts to itself the confidence Of
the people-it is not popularity, it is not d.
plomacy, II is not even ability-it Is cor-
age-the courage Of man in public life to
stand by his convictions was met 9th
storm Of applause, and when he alI1ded
to Cleveland as illustrating this principle,
saying, "In 1888 a Democratic President on
the great question of tariff reform, with
more than Roman courage, cut the bridges
down when he could easily have purchased
victory at the sacrifice of honor" he was ap-
plauded by even those who disagreed with
him. A number of silver advocates, Mr..
Bland among them, arose to ask him ques.
tons. He told them he would be glad to
answer them when he concluded, but when
he finished they asked for time to reply.
The members gathered around him when
he finished to congratulate him-even those
who did not coincide with his views on this
question.

THE GILLIAN SITUATE

President Harrison transmitted TO Con-
gress on Monday last his promised message
relating to the trouble with Chill, growing
out of the attack on the sailors OF the crui.
ser Baltimore ON the streets of Valparaiso in
October last, in which two Americans were
killed and large number wounded. The
reading Of the message was followed closely
by both houses. The President takes the
position that the demand of the United
States government upon Chilli for repara
ton and apology should be enforced The
message was referred to the committee on
foreign affairs.
The Department Of State at Washington
Tuesday received dispatch from Minister
Egan giving the reply of Chill to the final
demand Of the United States. The contents
of the dispatch were not given out officially,
but 1t is understood that Chilli agrees TO
withdraw and apologize for the circular.
letter written by ex.Minister Malta imput.
ing insincerity and ialsehood to the govern.
ment at Washington, to withdraw the re.
quest for the recall of Minister Egan, and to
submit the Baltimore affair to some neutral
power or to the decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States. The reply is
said TO be satisfactory as to the Malta Incl
dent, and that much of the affair is regarded
as closed.
Chilli has made satisfactory apology, and
the controversy between the United States
and that country is regarded as settled, ex-
cept as to details. The only question is as
to the amount of indemnity to be paid for
the attack on the Baltimore sailors. This is
not regarded as important, in view of the
fact that the principle involved has been
recognized by Chilli
