ELECTION OF SENATORS.

Every day that the senatorial fight
is prolonged in Helena affords a
stronger argument in favor OF ~electine
United States senators BY popular
vote. Nearly half OF the legisla.
| tive session has been frittcred away
and scarcely any action taken or
measures for the benefit of the people:
and this, too, ut a time when we
| should have a working legislature il
ever in the history of the state. The
last session was given up to puliti-
cal pandemonium and partisan
brawls, and now we are in the throes
of another that promises but little
better results. The two sessions will
cost the state in the neighhorhood OF
500, 600, and the people are getting
very little in return for thu money tx
pended.
While the contest now waging at
Helena is in a large measure partisan,
and we have no fault to find with the
adherents of the different parties hold
ing on with great tenacity, at the same
time the strife is intensified by the
~overweening ambition of a few rich
men to promote their candidacy. The
power OF choosing a senator is so
limited that it is within the range OF
possibility to buy a seat in the United
States senate. In fact, We would not
be surprised to see doodle incline
the hearts OF the Populist members Of
our present legislature after a sufi-
cient play is made to give the color of
sincerity or the appearance Of the only
alternative.
Although a vote is taken but nee a
day and apparently but little time OF
the session employed, the fact remains
that the senatorial contest is the all
absorbing question among members,
and there is constant scheming and
maneuvering TO gain a little advantage.
All this waste of brain tissues could
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1893-01-26

be devoted to the construction of
beneficial laws, with the election of a
senator removed from the Legislature.
We are o one OF those who believe
that the trainers of the constitution
we're endowed with infinite power, and
that they were the authors OF a per
feet instrument. They could not fore.
see all OF the e~xigencies If the future;
not rightly Judge the progress of the
people toward self-government. Ne
believe it is an insult to the INTEL /.
gence OF voters of the present day to
say that they are not just as capable
of choosing senator's as they are con-
gressmen, and We believe il this right
had been vested in the people long
ago the intellectual and moral stand
ing OF the upper house OF congress
would be even greater thanit is today.
while the money power would nj
have so great a representation. 1t L.
not infrequent that members of the
legislature write back to their con
stituents for instruction as to what
they should do, fearing to ssom re-
sponsibility in voting for senator
virtually coming back to the people
for an expression of views.
Give the people a chance to vote 70,
senator's and remove the obstacle that
is row holding a half dozen legislatures
to a deadlock that borders on revolu-
ton.

Governor Mckinley Says Republicans Should
Not Be Discouraged.

Gov. Mckinley, in an address before
the Ohio State Wool Growers Asso'
citation assembled at Columbus, Ohio.
on the 18th inst, made his first put
lie utterance on the results of the ele,
tion and the policy of the Republican
party in the future. Among oth.I
things he SAID:
II do not know what will happen
TO the wooigrowers under the legisla.
ZION that will come in with the new
administration. l do not, however,
b -lIeve in giving up after one engage
nent and one defeat. The woolgrom.
ers have had it their own way every
ime since 1867, and more than ono,
nave demonstrated their power i'll
Ohio. l do not believe in free raw
material. l do not believe in having
commodities free at n end OF the
factory and fairfield at the other end.
You are entitled to the highest protec-
ton and you should express that con
viction in every possible way. l am
here to say that in my opinion the
great policy of protection is the true
policy and that it is just as dear to
the American people as it was ever be
fore. | am rather inclined to think
that the Democratic members of con
gress are committed to free wool, but
Ohio is not committed to free wool.
You are in the most critical period OF
this great industry. | don't know how
you feel about it, but l have not lost
any of my courage"

DEATH OF Ex-pREs1DENr HAYES.

In the death of ex-president Ruther-
ford B. Hayes another good man and
patriot has passed away. He was a
typical son of Ohio, his career in some
respects being similar to that of the
lamented Garfield. He was one of the
first to respond to Abraham Lincoln's
call for troops, in 1861, and was rapidly
promoted for gallant services. So con.
spicuous was his courage and action at
the battle of Cedar creek that he was
promoted a brigadier general on the
field of battle by General Crook. He
was three times elected governor OF
Ohio, an honor not frequently con-
ferred, and was chosen the nominee OF
the Republican party for the presidency
in 1876, at the convention held in Gin
cinnati. In the election which fol
lowed he had for an opponent Samuel
J. Tilden, of New York. The election
was 80 close that an electoral commits
sion was chosen t o decide which WAS
entitled to the presidential chair. By
II vote of eight to seven Mr.. Hayes vas
declared elected. Though the Democ-
racy was never satisfied with this decis-
ion, and President Hayes was the tar
get for severe criticism, it was a just
finding of a high and honorable court,
and the only possible solution of the
difficulty. As the leader of a great
party and firm in the conviction that
he vas legally elected, he displayed
the same high courage in taking the
presidential chair that won him laurels
o. the field of battle. Had he done
otherwise he would have been held in
contempt not only by his own part.
but Ivy his political opponents.
In social life Mr.. Hayes was held III
ne highest + gard by all who knew
MIN. His purse was always open t.
n d the poor and unfortunate from near
AM from far, for he loved the common
kind from which he sprung.
As years pass 10y the patriotic services
rendered to his country by Rutherford
b. Hayses, will be gratefully remem-
hered.

pining for society and we became we'll
acquainted in about two minutes. He
was fairly OVERLOOKING with animal

night would make the fortune of a
dozen professional humorists. A few
stations beyond Vandalia We picked
upacontingent OF Methodist preachers
who had been attending some kind OF
a gathering OF the faithful. Ingersoll
winked to me and proceeded to make
himself agreeable to the good breth-
rem. He was a veritable magnet, and
soon the entire party was hanging
about him enjoying his flow of wit.
Men laughed till they cried who looked
as though they had not cracked a
smile for twenty years.
At Marshall the party left us with
many expressions OF regret. They all
told Us who they We're, where they had
been, etc, but Col. Ingersoll was not
equally confidential. Finally. one
good old brother, whose laughter had
cracked the paint on the coach, asked
his name. Ingersoll handed him his
card. He looked at it and let it drop
as though it burned his fingers. His
jaw fell, and he looked as though he
had seen a ghost. All of for Mar
shalln yelled the porter, and they
hustled out They congregated on the
platform, and the old man who had
dropped the card whispered hoarsely,

behind his paper collar. The younger
members OF the party appeared to
rather enjoy the confusion of the

need of assistance. We believe the
time is coming when the agriculturists
IF Montana will be among our most
prosperous citizens. Agricultural lands
are so limited in area in the state that
eventually they will be pressed to their
utmost capacity to supply the local de-
mand for their products. Rapid and
cheap transportation, growth of towns
and cities and the development of our
mines will create markets. Yet farmers
must be alive to the main chance;
study the a~daptability of our soil to
certain products, and aim to secure
legislation in their own interests. 1t Is
none too soon to study these problems
and be ready for the harvest that will
ultimately come. 1t is estimated that
s536,572 was paid out in Great FALL
last year for produce that could be
raised at home. If this amount, or the
greater portion of it, had fallen into the
hands of Judith Basin ranchmen the
cry of hard times and scarcity OF money
would cot be heard in our midst,
When rail connection is had with Great
Falls and our products can be laid
down there at slight cost, there will be
no occasion for shipping anything but
certain kinds If fruit into this state.
We believe emphatically in protecting
home industries, and those interested
should do all in their power to create a
home market.
