A FIGHT FOR PROGRESS.

1t is much to be hoped that the Illi-
nois democrats will again enforce the
right of the people to make the sena-
torial nomination, which was claimed and
held by them four years ago The large
majority Of the counties have instructed
their delegates to the state convention to
demand the right of nomination by the
convention, and there is no question that
this policy has the approval of the vast
majority Of the voters. On the other
hand Cook county has thrown its weight
in favor of the old system of legislative
selection, and will doubtless make a hard
fight for a return to the mode which is
now generally condemned throughout the
country. 1t is an open secret, however.
that the Cook county action was con-
trolled entirely by politicians, and was
taken for the pupose of defeating GER
tain candidate.
The result concerns more than Illinois
alone. The action Of that state in its
former nomination attracted the atten-

popular approval. At the present time
the sentiment of the country for the pop
ular election of senators is a. thousand
times stronger than it was then. If ILL
nois should turn back now it would be
taken by many as indicating popular dis
satisfaction with the new system, and
would result in disbursement to a re-
form which is urgently needed in this
nation. 1t would lose to Illinois the
honor Of leading in that reform. 1t may

effect

A TRAITORS DEFENSE.

Mr.. German adds insult to injury in his
attempted defense of his tariff bill, for he
proceeds on the theory that the Ameri-
can people are a collection of simpletons
who can be hoodwinked by the most
Ditiful evasion ever offered to the public
by an alleged statesman. He coolly at
tempts to dismiss the complaints of the
democratic party in these words:

or dement's Of either the original Wilson
bill or the measure first reported by the

that there has never been a moment

remained that we could not pass the

THE HAWAIIAN OLIGARCHY.

We trust that our, republican friends
who have been shedding tears over our
treatment of "a sister republic" will
give close attention to the constitution
of the new republic" which has been
formed under the direction of the revo-
lutionary oligarchy now in control of the
islands. and will be presented to the
constitutional convention for ratification.
The members Of the convention were
elected by the adherents of the present
government, the other people being de-
barred. Only 1850 votes were cast al
together. The new constitution will
practically disfranchise more than three
fourths of the inhabitants. and will
make the country one Of the most COM
plete oligarchies on the face Of the earth.
Three of the requirements for senators
are that they shall be able to read and
write English, that they shall have prop
erty of not less than s., 900 in value and
that they shall have an income of 81, 200
a year.

country so conditioned is very. sweeping.
OF the population of 10000 more than
two-thirds are natives, Chinese and
Japanese, almost all of whom will be cut
out by the requirement to read and write
English. This will also dispose of a large
percentage of the half-castes, and also
of the Portuguese, who are more numer-
Gus than all of the English-speaking
population. What are missed by this
provision will be caught by the property
provision, and as a necessary result the
senate will be composed wholly of the
representatives of the foreign business
interests of the islands. The president
and executive council will be of the
same class. The house of representa-
tives has not the same property and race
qualifications, but to be a member one
must be citizen of Hawaii, or in other
words. must swear allegiance to the ex-
listing government. The natives. who
universally adhere to the queen. are en-
tirely shut out OF the government.
AS a whole, a government Of this char
acter is merely a new name for the
revolutionary government which has
been in control. 1t is not in any sense

vention. nor any election held under the

There is one minister Of the gospel who
has recently resisted the persuasions and
Establishments of the politicians and re-
fused to enter politics. His name is
Sweeney and he is a brother of the Rev.
lack Sweeney of Columbus, who dabbles

pastor of a Christian church in Paris.
Ky. and the republican politicians of
that district have been trying to per-
suade him to enter the race against Mr..
Breckenridge, who Jared so disastrously
recently in the Pollard breckenridge af-
fair at Washington. Mr.. Sweeney said:

railroad theory that the value of rail-
road is the value of the materials Of
which it is composed. 1t says:
On the other hand its value cannot be
determined by ascertaining the value of
the land included in the roadway as
sessed at the market price of adjacent
lands. and adding the value of the cross
ties, rails and spikes. The value Of the
land depends largely on the use to which
IL can be put and the character of the
improvements upon il. The assessable
value for taxation of a railroad track
can only be determined by looking at
the elements on which the financial con-
dition of the company depend, it's traffic,
as evidenced by the rolling stock and
gross earnings in connection with dts
capital stock.
In other words. the location of prop
erty. the use TO which it can be put. and
its earning capacity are all to be con-
sidered in estimating its true value. and
this is no less true of other corporations
than of railroads.
These are a few Of the most important
points in a decision which. in every re-
spect, sustains the tax law of Indiana
1t sustains every principle incorporated
in the law itself and adopted in its exc
cution. 1t is vindication complete and
sweeping. The argument of the court is
a substantial repetition Of the argument
used by the democratic party in support
of the law against the assaults of their
political opponents. The tax law is one
more added to the list of great reforms
accomplished by Indiana democrats-to
the ballot law. the school-book law, the
state board of charities law, the fee and
salary law, and others-which have met
the approval of the people and the
courts

The Indianapolis Sentinel continues TO
sneer at the Pullman palace car company
and charge it with falsehoOd because in
the face Of Mr.. Pullman's announcement
that he was running the machine shops
at a loss the company has still made
q dividend of $500 000'' That does not
disparage Mr.. Pullman's statement in the
least, as The Sentinel we'll understood.
The Pullman company could doubtless go
on losing money in the shops and still
make dividends year after year.-Chicago
Inter-Oceaa.
That is a brilliant apology for the Chi
cago millionaire labor-starver. The Inter
Ocean could doubtless go on losing money
in its composing room, but still make
dividends. Any business concern is la
bic to lose in some department. but when
It is making dividends that are equivalent
TO "a per cent on actual investment it
would be rather cheeky to give as an ex-
cuse for cutting wages that it was los
ing money" The evident truth is that
AIR. Pullman simply wants to add more
money to his boards, and has taken a
mean way to do 1t.

The telephone has it's risks as, also, its
many advantages. Here Is related the
experience Of one witness: "I now hung
the receiver on its hook just as the storm
was at its hight and in a few minutes
tremendous flash occurred, sending
shower Of sparks from the receiver to
the transmitter and to the several me-
fallic parts OF the telephone including
the bell connections, such as would have
proved fatal to the hearing il not to the
life Of any listener" One must remem-
Der, Of course, that telephone becomes

Gus conductor and should not be used at
such times. The London Lancet in
long article on the use Of telephones con-
cludes with some very practical sugges-
tons as follows: Certain obvious pre-
cautions suggest themselves. On the part
Of the public it will be wise not to handle
the telephone during a thunderstorm. On
the part OF the telephone companies IL
is to be expected that the recognized
necessity Of having each instrument duly
protected will be strictly carried out.
With these two precautions supplement-
ing each other immunity from danger Is
practically secured. But even these can
scarcely be said TO provide for every
possible contingency. It thus becomes of
the greatest consequence to have a. re-
liable protector The form which this
ought to take will depend upon individual
expert opinion. One Of the devices adopt
