country will not submit to the selection

should have purity OF the ballot, but we
have reached that condition in our
national life where we submit to the most
infamous outrages upon the ballot OF the
people. Not only in the south, but in
the largest cities of the north is there a
demand for the purity of the ballot box.

1t has been decided by United

trict that the Chinese Exclusion act is
unconstitutional in so far as it denies
the right Of every citizen to trial by

Courts have held that Chinese cannot

Several Of the men who have just
been elected to the United States Sen
ate are well worthy of the distinction.
Senator Gray, Of Delaware, is among
the foremost lawyers of that body and
is one Of the ablest supporters of the
kind Of Democracy that tlinmphed in
the election Of Mr.. Cleveland.
Charles James Faulkner, of West
Virginia, distinguished himself in the
struggle in behalf of human liberty
against the Force Bill.
Francis NJ. Cockrell, of Missouri,
who is elected for the fourth term, has
been a laborious and useful Senator.
David Turpie, of Indiana, is one of
the most accomplished statesmen and
forcible debaters in Congress, and
might have worthily sat as the col
league of Thomas A. Hendricks.
OF the Republican Senators chosen,
HaWley and Hale nave always occupl-

me Postmaster Of st. Louis, after
two weeks trial Of an electric street
railway postal car, has reported TO the
Department at Washington that the
result has been eminently successful
in every particular. The car is Is feet
long. including the front and rear plat
forms. and 81 feet wide It is fitted up
inside somewhat ike railway post
office, and is operated by double dyn
amo, with capacity Of twenty-five miles
an hour. The city and suburban route
over which it travels is eighteen miles
long, and the number Of pieces of local
mail received and delivered, at a saw
ing Of from four TO five hours each,
has been from three to five hundred
daily.
The success of this st. Louis expert
ment has a timely meaning for the
whole country in view Of the rapid null
tlpllcatlon OF electric roads, Which are
not only being built in various cities
and towns, but are linking urban and
suburban life together in relation
which must steadily grow more init
mate and compact st. Louis, in fact,
may be said to have demonstrated that
electric transit, among its other mani
fold benefits, is destined before long to
vastly expand the Post Office Depart
mentment's scope Of usefulness by ex-
tending It's work into suburban fields
now remote from steam routes. With
steam supplemented by electricity an
unexampled development may be rea-
sonably anticipated in the postal SER
vice of the county.

Says the Washington Star: The eff
feet Of a change of administration on
Washington can be calculated from two
standpoints. The indirect influence
may be temporary depression in bus
ness circles. The uncertainty that
arises in the minds of Government en-
ployes naturally causes them TO spend
money less freely, and this might af-
feet business perceptibly for short
time in various channels. But as more
than an offset to this may be consider
ed the fact that the desire of the ma
jority of people to continue residence
here regardless of Government employ
ment sweils the active local population
every time one set of officials goes out
out and another comes in. The men
who have been in the Government SER
vice represent high order of intelli-
gent citizenship. They have become
familiar with Washington's, advant-
ages, its needs and its line of develop
ment. Their families have identif ed
themselves with the community. As a
place of residence the city is eminently
desirable, and nothing is more natural
than that the ex- attaches of the Coy
eminent should identify themselves
permanently with its interests. The
increase of the Government machinery
and especially the superior local re-
sources furnish occupation for all these
recruits and make the increase of pop
ulation as substantial as it is rapid.
The course of public progress neces-
sarily implies some inconvenience tc
the individual. The rule, however, is
that the change from government ser.
vice to private pursuits in this city
i means decided betterment of condi
q ton. Even the changes which to those
II who have not studied Washington
III might seem to be causes of embarrass.
ment are often, in reality, among the
things that advance IT'S interests.
