1t is we'll known that under the pres
ent system we do not always get first
class men for senators; but it is not so
certain that the fault lies in the sys-
tenn. The people make mistakes as we'll
as the legislatures; and If they were to
take the election of senators directly
into their own hands, there would still
be no definite assurance of the best
choice in any instance.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat Rep).
There is no method by which the very
best men to send to the Senate can be
chosen. The demands of the people, and
their standard, must determine the
standard of the senators.
a man might like ever so well to up
end house, but he hasn't the power
to do it. Senator Vest and other true
ever so well to pass true tariff re-
form bill to conform to Democratic
pledges, but they haven't the power to
do it so long as six Democratic senators
stand out against it. Common sense
teaches that when person can't do his
best he must do the best he can-Kan-
Isas City Times Den.).
An ideal tariff reform bill cannot be
had. The best that can be had is the
thing to give the people.
The truth is that unless the senators
from Missouri are afflicted with unusual
, dizziness of comprehension, they must
understand that they are a long way
lover on the wrong side Unluckily,
their tariff labors have not been of that
conspicuous nature which indicates
their knowledge that an election was
held in this country year ago last No
vember.-Kansas City Star Qnd. Dem.).
The strained relations existing be-
tween the Missouri senators and the
White House causes the senators, per-
haps, not to see things just as they are.
In order that the undue credit of this
business revival may be secured to
them and to the present tariff, the Re
publicans are eXhauSting every eXpedi
emit of log-rolling, delay and obstruction
to prevent the enactment of any Demo-
lcratic tariff bill.-St. Louis Post-Dis-
Ipatch Oem).
The Republicans would much rather
the present depression should continue
than that a business revival should be
brought about by Democrats.
), A new tariff would at once revive in
ldustry, commerce and trade; the defeat
of the bill must continue the present
sore paralysis that is hating the ener-
gies Of the people, and they would just
lily drive from power the party that shall
be responsible for such a consuming

The country expects, and has right
to expect relief from the Democratic
congress, and it's expectations will be
realized
1T is further true that if proper steps
had been taken in the early part of the
lstrike to quell riotousness and protect
life and property no serious trouble
the inconvenience and losses incident to
the strike proper. The turbulent or
hoodlum element got the impression
that the mayor would neither call for
the militia nor encourage the police in
being at all rigorous. They thought
that their day in court" had come and
they acted accordingly, until put in Eub-
Election by the National guards and the
regulars.-Chicag Inter-Ocean (Rep).
1t would have been an easy matter to
have quelled the riots in Chicago and
Elsewhere had vigorous steps been TAX

Stead's latest effort is worthy of no
more consideration than his first one
1t purposes to account for the recent
labor uprising by charging our consti-
tuition and free institutions with the
rottenness of George ILLS political
ideas which Americans are still living
under. The book is a clap-trap scheme
lSteadian, it is a self-advertising device.
1t must be admitted, however, that it
lcannot possibly fall more fiat than his
lother Chicago scheme did.-Chicago
dispatch Qnd).
What Stead says amounts to very
little. What we do, to a great deal.
TheChicago Times Oem) comment
ing on the fact that Prof Ely of the
University of Wisconsin, is to be in
vestigated on account of some of his
political teachings as professor of po-
litical economy, says:
So far as the individual is concerned
this incident is not of wide public in
terest. But it shows that free speech
and free thought in colleges are in dan
i ger of suppression. When the school
textbooks, the college teachers of polit-
ical economy, the newspaper editorial
writer's and the clergy shall all be

monopoly this nation will be, in the
opinion of the people who profit by mo-
nopolies, indeed the land of the free and
the home of the brave.
The Times is devoting a great deal Of
tits energies to the cultivation of dema-
gogues and the like. To teach social
ism is not to teach political economy.
There will be almost universal appro-
baton of the action of the regents of
the University of Wisconsin in authoriz-
ling the appointment of a committee to
investigate charge that the teachings
lof Professor Ely in the university are
Isocialistic. When professors turn dem
agogues the university is no place for
lthem.-Chicago Inter-Ocean Rep)
Professor Ely has to some extent
copied the methods of the sensational
pulpit preachers, the most notable ex-
Iample being Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage.
Voluntary agreement is of the essence
of arbitration, and where both sides are
really willing to arbitrate and to agree
to abide by the decision there is no
difficulty in bringing it about without
an official board. 1t is very doubtful
whether the plan embodied in the
springer bill, reported from the House
COMMITTEE on Labor, would prove to be
of any service.-N. Y. Times Oem).
