Republicans and the Senate.

II the Republicans are lawfully en-
titled to any Of the Senatorial seats
now In question in the Western
States, the Republicans will have
them. The New York Press says
so much is certain. We have seen
1t suggested that the Republicans
ought to let the Democrats take the
Senate in order that the Democratic
party may have full responsibility Tor
the legislation OF the coming two
years or four years This is nonsense
The Republicans should and will
claim and secure all the offices to
which they are entitled by the will
Of the electors expressed in accord
with the Constitution and laws.
The Republican party has no right
to concede, and the Democratic party
no right to receive, either more or
less. II 1t should prove that the
Democratic victory has not been as
sweeping as originally claimed, and
that the Republicans are entitled tc
majority in the upper house Of
Congress, the Republicans will have
majority. 1t Is not a question of
what Republicans or Democrats
would like or dislike, but OF what
the Constitution provides.
The Republicans OF the Western
States should spare no lawful effort
to have Republican Senators elected.
II they should fail in asserting their
rights they would be guilty of faith.
lessness to their country as well as
to their party. On the other hand,
the Democrats must understand that
the Republicans Of the West will not
submit either to intimidation or
fraud. The methods OF South Caro-
lima will not do in dealing with the
stalwart pioneers Of the prairics, and
may prove a dangerous boomerang to
those who attempt such iniquitous
schemes. Republicans ask for no
more than their rights under the law
of the land, and those rights they
should and will maintain.

The ..Swestlng" Evil In Large Cltie :.


The result OF the investigation OF
the subcommittee of the House Com
mittee on Manufactures on the
sweating" system OF employing labor
in the large cities is such as to call
for prompt measures for the ameliO-
ration OF the condition OF the poor
people who are compelled To slave
for the sweating" bosses In crowded
rooms where sanitation Is impossible.
This is demanded not only in the in.
terest OF the miserable toilers them
selves, but also as safeguard against
the spread OF contagious disease.
The committee found people work
ing on clothing In filthy dens, In
which, In some instances, eight or
ten toilers occupied rooms as small as
12xl4 feet In size, and saw contagion
placards on doors in tenement
houses IN which sweat" shops are
located. 1t can readily be seen how
disease can be spread broadcast by
the distribution Of articles of cloth.
ing made under such conditions, and
the report OF the investigating COM
mittee may afford an explanation OF
sudden outbreaks OF malignant dis
ease in districts in which sanitary
conditions are comparatively perfect.
Tenementhouse ready-made cloth
ing and tcnement-h0use cigars are
placed under ban by this report, and
unless the evil OF the sweating" sys-
TEN can be cured by the application
Of direct remedial measures, the pub
lie may eventually demand the disin-
fection by fumiRation of all clothing
not made In registered shops under
the supervision OF sanitary inspec-
tors. We buy meat now which is
certified as having been inspected;
why not clothing?
