What Next?

In 1883 the poll icians told the farm
ers the hard times they endured was
tie result of their laying aronnd town,
whiting goods boxes, and talking pol
itics. In 1890 they claimed the trouble
was over-production: that the farmers
should produce less, that is, play more
In 1892 their plaint was tha: the rob-
ber tariff was the great nemesis OF
American prosperity. Since the last
election they have recovered from the
tariff craze, and now say the great dan
ger is that the country will be glutted
with silver coin unless it is speedily
demonetized by the unconditional re-
peal of the Sherman act (Which means
the decentralization of silver. They
also plead for diversiGcation of the
crops o, the farmers. In 1894, doubt
less they will assert that the death of
Gould, the failure of De Lesseps, or a
spot on the moon changing color, has
brought the terrible hard times on the
country All this demonstrates the
estimate party bosses place on the pco-
pies intelligence and manhood.

Many Applicants for the Highly Lucrative

There is said to lie an unprecedented

ported to be desirable from a financial
point of view. The best Of these are
are In Great Britain, where. under the
operations Of a peculiar law governing
the administration Of oaths, the con-
suls are enabled to retain the greatest
part Of the fees received on that ac-
count. That is what makes London,
Liverpool, Manchester, Bradford. Bir-
mingham, Belfast, Glasgow and sev-
eral others such highly attractive posts.
On the continent, and indeed in all
other countries. these fees are Part OF

Paris, for this reason, is eaid to pay

A Mich Needed Ketnrm.

The troubles in Kansas have shown
the need of a pressing reform which
has received little or no public discus.
sion. Every State Constitution makes
each House of the Legislature the
Judge of the election and qualifications
of its own members. When it decides
to seat Il man therefore there is no APP
peal from the decision. The Legisla-
ture is the supreme law unto itself ON
that question and reject ed member is
without remedy. 1t was by virtue of
this constitutional provision that the
Republican House in Kansas usurped
the authority, according to the forms
of law" which was upheld by the State
Supreme Court. BY virtue of similar
provisions any partisan majority in any
state may. and often does. organize
Legislature to suit itself without re-
gard to the justice of the case. We
have seen it done in Indiana. It is
often done Ivy Congress acting under
like provision of the Federal Constitu
tion. That it is gross abuse goes
without the saving, and it is strange
the people have submitted to it SO
long. The remedy is very simple and
can be applied SO as 10 wipe out..the
evil altogether. 1t is only neces-
sary to so amend the Constitu ion as to
provide that in case of the disputed
election of member the case shall be
tried by the courts exactly like any
other lawsuit. The party prevailing
shall receive a Ger ficate of election
which shall entitlc him to his seat re-
garlless of his politics or the majority
OF the Legislature or Congress. This
would do away with the partisan seat
ing or unseating Of members to gain
control This is the method pursued
in England. That enlightened coun-
try long since discarded the barbarous
and tyrannical method pursued in this
Union. Had such a law prevailed i'll

Big job Of House Cleaning.
The buildings and grounds are soat-
tered with debris and all of it must DO
removed before the gates are opened,
about ten weeks hence. Director Gen.
efal Davis climbed into wagon the
other day and rode all over the grounds.
He went through the buildings, tramped
over the grounds, sized up great mounds
of wrecked staff material and molds,
and pried around among plies Of build
ing material. When he came back he
said: 1T will take 5000 men a month
to clear away this rubbish. We have
the biggest job OF house cleaning on
hanl that has ever been undertaken"
Comparatively little cleaning up was
done last fall for the dedication exer-
cises. The toulevards leading from
several entrances to Manufactures
Hall. where the speeches were made,
were cleared Of rubbish to allow car
riagcs to roll along without jolting their
occupants out, but that was all. Other
parts Of the grounds were strewn with
rubbish. All Of 1t must be carted away
and the parks swept as clean as lady g
bcudoir before the gates are opened.
The park will probably be swept q
dozen times before opening day. There
are nearly 700 acres to put in shape.

disgraceful scenes which he witnessed
in Washington ON the 4th of March
and the days Immediately preceding
and following that day. Men became
beasts through drink and the bad ex-

sample one of the prominent hotels of
Washington, he writes:
Under ordinary circumstances a.
weeks guestship in that hotel is not
only pleasure but a comfort. On this
occasion it was miniture hell. 1t was
not overcrowdcd, but its restaurant,
cafe and barroom were filled from early
morning until early the following
morning, with great gangs of hungry:
thirsty pigs. Their conduct was un-
bearably offensive. They talked loud,
swore continually, behaved with de-
gree of ill manners You wouldn't ex-
pect among lot of | allan laborers.
They pushed for the best tables; they
di>regarled the ordinary decencies of
life. Acceptable service was an i'm
possibility, and the regular guests Of
the hotel had no more opportunity of
securing q suggestion of customary
treatment than they had of being un-

The Kansas Outrage.

Senator John Martin in speaking of
the recent ''dccision" in the Kansas
Legislative trouble said:
Il am not at all astonished Mt the
finding of the Kansas Supreme Court.
Not that believe the decision correct:
for. on the contrary, believe it to be
radically wrong. In my Judgment,
the opinion delivered by Judge Allen
is clearly the law of the case. and it is
substantially sustained by decisions of
the Supreme Courts in Indiana and
Ohio, and in many similar cases. But.
unfor, ,unatelv the Supreme Court
judges are men of like infirmities with
ether people, and when political ques-
lions are involved their decisions in
nine cases out of ten are made TO meet
the demands of the political condi-
tlons, instead of being clean cut and
a fair exposition of the law of the case.
remarked to friends several days ago
that the majority of the court being
Republicans, it would sustain the Re-
publican position, and the minority
being Populists, would decide the
other way. So the matter has ended
precisely as anticipated. The legal
proposition that courts of justice, in
cases involving political question.
should follow and harmonize with pol
itical departments of government and
its coordinate branches is sound
principle of law, and is sustained by
an almost unbroken line of decisions
The reason and the policy of this
rule is too clear and apparent to re-
4uire argument. So in this case, the
Senate having recognized the Duns-
more House as its coordinate branch,
and the governor, rs a plain duty and
matter of necessity. having recognized
the action of the Senate, should. as a
matter of law, have ended the contro-
versy. And it was the plain duty oil
