READ THE CONSTITUTION.

TO the Editor OF the Eagle.
SIR-In the EAGLE of the 25th inst. |
find it stated that in the event of failure
by the legislature to elect senator for The
uueXpirsd term Of Senator Plumb, Hon.
B. w. Perkins VIII continue to eli the

graph Of section ) article II OF the United
States constitution you will probabl y

good many people might read the consti-
tuition occasionally with profit, including
the editor. BERTRAND JONES.
The EAGLE is quoted correctly, in sub
stance if not literally, in the foregoing,
and it reiterates the statement, which is
substantially the language of the consti-
tuition. There is not word or sugges-
ton in the section and paragraph refer
red to that bears out the idea that va
cancy in an unexpired term in the ser
ate that is being filed out by an APP
pointee would occur by reason of fail
ure by the legislature to elect a success
sor, and having been appointed to fill out
the unexpired term, or until the legisla-
ture should elect a successor and he
should qualify, the appointee would con-
tinue to serve. The EAGLE quite agrees
with It's critique that good many peo-
pile might read the contribution" under

TIE FORUM FOR FEBRUARY.

The February number of the Forum
ends volume AIV ana closes the seventh
year of this periodical. which the press
and its readers unanimously agree has
reached the foremost place ever held by
an American publication. Every year
the number of its distinguished contrib
utors has increased aud every year its
range has been broadened until it now
covers all the principal subjects OF con
tempOraneOus interest in America The
leading article III the February number
is Tariff Reform: Retrospective and
Prospective by Mr.. David Il Wells,
who is incomparably the foremost
writer on the tariff reform side of this
controversy. Mr. Wells, who regards
this as his best production, has written
a review OF the long agitation for the
reform of the tariff. and he points
out definite program for the incoming
administration to work by, lie shows
that by treating the pension payments
as debt there can easily be an immedi-
ate reduction of at least p per cent in
customs duties and the financial necessi-
ties Of the government can still be amply
met. Quite as timely as Mr.. Wells ar
ticle is paper by Hon. George Fred Will
llams on The Imminent Danger From
the Silver Purchase Act" where lie
shows the necessity of the repeal OF the
Sherman law of 1890. Timely also is
the paper on How 10 Prevent the Com
ing of Cholera" by Sir Spencer Wells,
one of the most distinguished physicians
in England; and a paper by Mr.. Gustav
II. Schwab, manager of The North Ger
man Lloyd Steamship company, on "A
Remedy for Evils OF immigration.

If, four years hence, the American
people should be confronted by the same
state Of affairs which has been confront
ing the people Of Kansas at Topeka for
the pas fortnight, there would come a
sudden end to a Republican form Of

tanned by the force Of arms, which force
If marked by blood would still sooner or
later end in anarchy or in the power
which blazes in the diadem Of a crown.

Just as we originally concluded, there
Is no hope for the Democratic party
they would neither take the senatorshlp
themselves nor allow the Republicans to
have it. The logic of the thing was Tor
the Republicans TO have gone in and
elected PopuIi5t Of Republican antece-
dents, as the EAGLE advocated; elected,
if you ike, another PETER. PETER IS a
Rspublican. John Martin IS a Demo
crat; a Democrat tainted with political
heres:ss. The Republicans permitted to
be done Just what the EAGLE feared would
be done, The Republican party would
have Been stronger and the Populists
weaker with a straight out Populist than
with one who viii use his party which
is in power to build up the Populists.
VIII the Republican papers Of Kansas
who so freely criticized the EAGLES
position now tel Us what they think Of
the situation? There was no chance at
any time for the Republicans to elect
Republican, and practically no
chance for them to elect q
stalwart Democrat, for the simple reason
that four Democratic members held the
balance of power. Bat the Republicans
sould have elected a strai2htout Popu-
fist. Lswe,ling, despite Lis frothy in
augurai. would have been q better man
in the United States senate, SO far as the
interests Of the Republican party are
concerned, than viii be John Martin.

leading to the orchards and to his own
house was nigh, and he went out into the
fields.
After walking awhile he came to his
mill, silent and dark by the riverside,
and then he thought that he would go
beyond and to his own dwelling and see
if he could spy out anything there. This
scouting savored so much Of the roman
tic and perilous that it was fascinating.
1t brought back his boyhood's dreams to
him and filled him with queer sort Of
dime novel heroism that was positively
thrilling.
1t was within two hours of midnight.
The moon, which was in its last quarter,
hung almost over the horizon in the far
end of the canyon; the air was so still
that the soft murmur of the river came
clear to his ears as he stood in the shad-
ow Of the trees and looked toward his
dwelling. Suddenly the silence was
gently stirred not broken-by what
seemed to him as he listened, with n
stilled pulse, the faintest, most distant
chorus of voices.
