New YeFk's View Consultation.

One OF the noteworthy results OF the
election in New York was the adoption of
oil the amendments framed by the recently
held constitutional convention. Of these
the one most stubbornly contested was
that limiting the representation of any
county TO one-third of the membership of
the state senate. and limiting the repre-
sentation of any two adjoining counties to
one-half of the senate. This amendment,
which was framed to apply to the cities Of
New York aud Brooklyn. was opposed on
the ground that it introduced an element
other than that of population In dstermin-
Ing the ratio OF representation, but IL was
carried, nevertheless. by q substantial ma
jority. Other amendments adopted separate
municipal from state and national elections
in the larger cities. place admiration upon
city and county debts. prohibit riders on
appropriation bills, prohibit the use oil
public money in aid of sectarian schools.
revise the judiciary System, prohibit the
issue of free passes TO public officers by
railroad, telegraph and telephone COM
pan les. prohibit the sale of public lands in
the forest reserve, abolish the contract sys-
tenn of convict labor, remove the prohibit
ton against the sale of the 0nondaga sal I
springs, abolish the limitation OF S. 600
for damages for injuries causing death,
authorize the legislature TO provide for
the improvement OF the canals, require a
period of ninety days instead of ten days
of citizenship before the right to vote can
be exercised. and provide for regulating
and limiting the payment of public money
TO private institutions for the support of
certain wards of the state.

a Bravsr Nation Never Sent Forth
Lsgtens TO Battle
Rear Admiral George T. Belknsp
From the moment the present war ends
and Japan retires within her borders ~
one Of the eonquering nations OF the CEN
fury. she will feel that she has cast on her
swaddiing clothes of modern civilization
and of quasi submission to the treaty
powers in matters of tariff concern and
extra-territorial rights. and she VIII de-
mand release from the CALLING bonds OF
the existing thraldom in no uncertain or
mincing tones. For years she has been
experimenting her creation of IN effective
army and navy by the construction OF
strong forts and heavy batteries
at all the important ports and
the narrow channels leading to
them. Armed with Krupp and other
rified guns Of heavier caliber they await
with composure the attack OF any hostile
fleet. No British minister will attsm ps 10
enact the medfling and menacing part OF
. Parkes ct Toxic. nor will any British
feet lombard with impunity second
Tsngoshima And bearing in mind the
undoubted fact that Englsnd has never
waged war on the humane Lines that have
characterized Japan in this war with her
great unwieidy enemy. has Japan not the
night to feel that In all justice and SOW
ercigrty she Is entitled TO demand the
fullest powers Of autonomy as regards ali
her affairs, whether foreign or domesiicf
have seen in recent years the officers
and crews Of English and japanese ships
OF war under various circumstances. /
have seen an English admiral handle =
force of ten ships in japanese waters and
q japanese admiral mansuver Q feet Of
twenty-five ships. and do not hesitate to
express the opinion that we're English and
japanese fleets of about equal strength TO
meet in battle the chances would be as
favorable to the japanese as to the Eng
lish. The japanese will light: let there be
no mistake about that The sun does not
shine on a more determined or more in
trepid race than that OF Japan. The mar
tial spirit of Japan antedztes that of Brit
ain: aud hereafter, whstner on land or
sea. the arch robber of the universe will
find all she cares to meet If she comes into
hostile contact with the forces of Dali Nip
pom.
The growing strength of the British
navy is q menace TO the rest of the world;
il Is intended to be. and - such il ought to
be crushed. The sun tag of Japan may
yet humble the proud flag of Britain. Such
may be the distinction reserved to that
newcomer among the nstions.

Gov. Flower. OF New York, declares
that he believes the tariff issue Is dead;
that the Democratic party will not attempt
to revive Il by insisting upon further sgi-
tatson against the principle Of protection.
John sherman repudiatss the state
msnts ~ TO the Mckinley Law attributed
20 him recently BY New York newspaper.
Senator sherman says:

Endorsement OF the general protective
policy of the Republican party, and the

policy this country has ever seen. IL H.

Palouse News, Dem


The result of the recent elections con-
firms the opinion of the Ncrs that q large
majority of the people of the United States
are opposed to the free coinage of silver
without an international agreement Con-
gresham Bland, Of Missouri, was one of
the most jealous and able champions of
free silver, and yet he was defeated. In
Ohio the Democrats made their fight
chiefly on the free coinage OF silver plank
and were Overwhelmingly defeated. The
leaders OF the Republican party are
known to be unaltsrably opposed to
free silver, and yet all over the United
States they were elected TO congress. In
this state the Republican party Is known
TO be only half-hearted in support of silver,
~ was proved by the action of the state
convention in first voting down o free
coinage plank and then adopting one
favoring the coinage of American silver.
Both the Democratic and Populist parties
were jealous advocates of silver, and had
strong free coinage planks in their plat
forms. and yet large plurality of the
people voted the Republican ticket. In
view OF oil these facts, the Necs cannot see
what encouragement silver men can find
in the recent elections
