Mitchells brother, Patrick, was yester-

square matters with O'Neill for his

He met O'Nein at Ninth avenue and

CHANGE THE L

II II Is true that one-lfth of the Senate
can prevent any change IN the rules az
well as defeat any legislation under the
rules the principle OF majority rule Is in
deed destroyed. not only In that body.
but In the entire Congress. The hitherto
accepted theory of the Government must
be abandoned since the veto power in
legislation ls lodged in the few and not
in the many. The contention involves a
complete revolution in our political sys-
TEN.
But vii. any intelligent student Of
American history contend that the franz
crs OF the Constitution intended to rem
der such a result possible. or that the
Constitution they framed justities SO
absurd a construction" Did the fathers
intend to organize an oligarchy or found
a Republic?
1T is very plain to any student OF that
period that they intended not only To
form a Republic. but that the Republic
should be governed by the majority. 1t
Is very plain that they intended to
frame a constitution which would pre-
serve to the majority The right to rue.
When, therefore. any mere rule Of pro-
ccdure of the Senatc SO operates as To
defeat this purpose, It c~ontravenes the
Constitution. and the Nice-Pres!dent is
bound by his oath to obey the Constitu-
ton and not the bylaw of the Senate.
Senator Hill Is right.
The position taken yesterday by Sena-
tor Frye is right.
He quoted from a decision of MI.
Blaine while Speaker of the House TO
the effect that pending a propo-
rition TO change the rules d~ilatory
motions could not be entertained. Other
wise the Constitution. In comforting the
right Of each House to determine it's
rules, would have conferred on each the
right to defeat the Constitution itself.
II one-hfth of either body may prevent
a change n member might prevent 1t.
No one will contend that the Constitu-
ton contemplated comforting upon either
body the right to adopt a set OF rules
which would place 1t In the power OF one
member or OF one-ifth OF the members
to prevent legislation and block the ma
chinery of government.
The rules were adopted by IA majorit,
and they car be changed by q majority
Dilatory methods we're not permitted ir
their adoption. nor can they be properly
permitted In their amendment.

THE 0NE-sIDED CAUCUS.

The attempt made yesterday by the
Democratic silver Senators to round
up the repealers in a caucus. as told
in the . o'clock edition OF THE Evening
World was not undertaken In the in
terest OF Democratic principles or of
Democratic supremacy. II was, on the
contrary. a transparent effort to subordi-
nate the welfare OF the party to the
success of a faction. and to place the
party in a false position before the
country.
II it had been an honest movement to
obtain an expression of Democratic SEN
timent it would have called for a joint
caucus OF the Democrats IN the House
and in the Senate. but 1t Is needless to
say that this is the last kind of a caucus
that Senator Vest would wish to be in
strumental in calling under the condi-
lions OF the present situation.
There is sad division In the ranks OF
Democracy in Washington over the sill
yer question. There is no denying the
existence of the split, and no telling how
far 1t will extend. The first duty n sin
cere and genuine Democrat owes to his
party is to lend his best assistance, no
to widening the breach, but to prevent
1t from extending n further than can
be helped.

WANTED: THE MAN FOR THE HOUR.

Trenton unveils her revolutionary bat

Ing with enthusiasm and love Of coun-
try. Would that she could express a
special cargo of her honest patriotism
to the Senate chamber at Washington.
There Ia need there Of a revolution and
a battle and a victory for the people.
Obstruction for selfish ends is blocking
the way OF the country's great business
and industrial interests in that chamber.
Misrepresentation Is In full sway. The
remarkable condition exists of an OPP
preston maintained by a minority.
There Is II crying need for IA declaration
Of independence from outdated Senator
lal traditions and rules; for sturdy cham.
pions to lead the way In a decisive con
test for public and Constitutional rights.
The Senate must be made free to do the
country's business. 1t has been said tina
every great hour of need In this coun,
try's history has brought forth the mar
to meet 1t. Where Is the man-where ar,
the men for this hour?

THREE HEROINEs.

Mistaken Government economy left
an open door for death and disaster last
August of Point Lookout, Long Island.
Three brave women shut 1t fast, in the
face of imminent peril.
The mistake vas in the closing OF the
Point l.ookout L~ife-Saving station. IT
Wss closed on Aug. 90, which was the
date OF the wrecking OF the bark Martha
p. Tucker. But for the courage OF Mrs.
Renic Southland. Mrs. Celia Raynor and
Miss Jennie Rhodes the bark's crew
would ave been lost. These three hero
ines donned oilskin suits and so we'll
assisted Keeper Rhodes with the life
saving apparatus that all but one man
of the imperilled crew were saved.
To-day the Maritime Association OF
New York gives medals Of gold to these
women. 1t is a thoughtful and a de
served ribute to their courage and abil.
ity. But the great reward is in the rec.
ord Of the deed itself. Even pure gold
is dross beside such sterling womanly
worth and bravery.
