A CALL.

At no time in the history of our
country have we ever been face to
face with questions Of as grave i'm
portance as those that are now pre-
sented for our consideration as Amer
lean freemen. The rights of the
entire west are disregarded by the
present government, and this action
endorsed by the venal press of the
east, and in the interest of a vast
money power our chief industries are
being torn down by acts the most
atrocious known in the history of
civilization. Now, in accord with the
spirit of our government-that the
voice Of the people be heard-a mass
meeting is called to be held at the
courthouse in Weiser, on Saturday,
the 22d day of July, 1898; and to
this let all come who can from all
sections, and hear and give full ex-
preston to the sentiments that are
common to all men Of true, free,
western spirit 1t is the question OF
the hour, and it is your duty to drop
everything and come. And to all
counties in the state to whom this
may come, we ask that like conven-
ton be called, and each appoint dele
gates to meet in state convention fol
such action as the several counties
may decide, and notify our represent
atives in congress of the sentiments
of this people and the action that viii
be required by them. CITIZENS.

According to this reading of the law a con-
tract made within the United States, al
though made with a foreigner, is not pro-
hibited by any existing law. The collector
says that he nas no authority to close the

HAZELToN, Pa, April 4.-The water
standing in the Sugar Loaf mine in the
outskirts of this place broke into the
Laurel Hill mine yesterday at a point GOO
yards below the surface There were q
number of men in the mine at the time,

Thomas Hudson, w. l.. Trembath and
Richard Williams The later is dead be-
yond doubt. There is faint possibility
that the other two may be rescued alive
Although several of the meu rescued
are suffering from broken arms, dislocated
shoulders and minor bruises the injuries of
none are considered dangerous The acct
dent, it is believed, was due to a mis-
take in the surveys. The escape of the
forty men from the mine is regarded as
miraculous. The search for the missing
men is being pushed vigorously.

method would essentially change the char
acter of the senate as conceived by the con-
vention that formed the constitution and
the people who adopted it.
Some Arguments Against the Scheme.
1t would, the resolution continues, trans
fer the selection of senators from the leg
islatures entrusted with all Legislative pow
ers of the states to bodies having no clear re-
sponsibility, whose selection cannot be reg
ulated by law, whose members vote by
proxy. whose tenure of office is for single
day, whose votes and proceedings are not re-
corded, and v. no act under no personal re-
sponsibility. 1t requires the substitution
of pluralities for majorities; transfers the
seat of political power in great states
now distributed evenly over their ter ritory
| Ito the great cities and masses of popula-
ton; creates new temptation to fraud, and
will give rise to numerous election con-
tests; will absolve the larger states from
the constitutional obligation which secures
equal representation of all the states in the
senate by providing that no state shall be
deprived of that equality without its con-
sent.
Discredits the Original Plan.
In conclusion the resolution says such a
method implies what the whole current of
our history shows to be untrue-that the
senate has during the past century failed
to meet the just expectations of the peo-
pie, and that the state legislatures have
proved themselves unfit to be the deposit
tories of the power of electing senators.
The reasons which require this change. if
acted upon and carried to their logical re-
suit, will lead to the election by the direct
popular vote, and by popular majorities of
the president and of the judiciary. and
will compel the placing of these elections
under complete national control. 1t will
result in the complete overthrow of the
whole scheme of the senate, and in the end
of the whole scheme of the national consti
tuition as designed and established by its
trainers and the people who adopted it. .
