Is a Change Advisableg

/ According TO our Washington dis
patches Georgia congressman are not
only taking a deep interest in the
senatorial campaign in this state,
but suggest that candidate
for senator shall be nominated by the
/ state convention. Is the proposed change
in the method of nominating senator a
good one, 10 is doubtful if a nomination
by the state convention would as fully
. express the sentiments OF the people as a
nomination by a caucus Of the mem bers
of the legislature.
Delegates TO the state convention are
CHOSEN, as general thing, by very few
men in each county, and these men are
what is called the court house clique
IL is true the democratic voters Of the
whole county have the privilege of at
tending the meetings at which the dele
gates are nominated but it is unusual for
any considerable number of them 10 at
tend. A few lawyers at the
county seat and the county Of
ficers nearly always control the
meeting that chooses the delegates, ana
if the plan suggested by the Georgia con
gressmen were to he adopted they would
virtually name the next United States
senator
The old method gives each candidate a
fair chance. The candidates for the leg
islature are nominated by primary cleo
tons or at public meetings which are
quite fully attended. They are chosen
long after the delegates to the state con
ventiOn. and after there has been a pretty
full discussion of the qualifications of
each OF the senatorial candidates. They
are, therefore, much better fitted to ex-
press the will Of the people of their re-
spectiye counties than are delegates TO
the state convention,
Even if the state convention should
make nomination the convention ac-
ton would not bind the legislature. The
legislature would be free to do as it
pleased though the decision of the con
vention would not be without weight. A
failure to abide by that decision, how
ever, might be productive of trouble in
the party
Unless the people are 70 have the right
to vote directly for a senator, it is ques-
tionable whether a change in the present
method Of choosing a senator is advisa-
bic. The court house politicians have too
much influence in the election of a senator
now, and the change suggested at Wash
ington would increase their influence.

The Massachusetts, legislature has de-
clined to pass the bill prohibiting the
docking, or cutting off, of horses tails.
One member gravely declares the bill was
killed because it proposed to take away
the employment of poor people; that is to
say the chopping Of horses tails gives en-
ployment to a number of persons in Mass
achusetts. The rich man owns the horse,
the poor man chops his tail; the cruelty
to the horse is not considered in the
matter.

How WIN Home Rule Fare.

1t was hoped that Lord Rosebery, the
new prime minister, would make decla-
ration of his policy on the reassembling
of parliament on Monday. He did not do
so. He said, however that there was no
need of such declaration. as there
would be no change of measures, but only
of men. This statement justifes the in
ference that home rule for Ireland has
as strong friend in the new premier as
it had in Gladstone.
1t is far from certain, however, that
anything definite will be done for home
rule in long time. The difficulties in it's
way cannot be easily overcome. A great
campaign must be fought to the finish
before new home rule measure can be
brought forward with any hope of success.
The rejection of the home rule bill by
the House of Lords last fall put home
rule for Ireland good way in the future
1t is believed by many that one of the
principle reasons for Gladstone's retire
ment was the knowledge that there was
no prospect for home rule within the time
that he could reasonably hope to remain
at the head of the government
1t is evidently the purpose of Lord
Rosebery, however, to keep the home
rule question at the front. He must do
so to retain the support of the Irish mem
bers. He is credited with having for
Ireland a much broader scheme of home
rule than that which Gladstone got
through the House Of Commons. If he
has he has been careful not to let the
fact be known
1t is noticeable that in the queens
speech it is asserted that there has been
great Improvement in the condition of af-
fairs in Ireland recently. and that there
is now less agrarian crime than at any
time within the last fifteen years. At
tention was also called 10 measure re-
lating to the well being of Ireland that is
soon to be submitted to parliament.
These references Justify the conclusion
that Ireland's affairs are not to be
neglected by the new ministry, but they
do not Justify hope that home rule will
be secured in the near future

dispatch from Raleigh. n. c., reports
that number of flour mills have been
built in the Carolinas recently and that
Others will be built this spring. IL is also
added that the mills have all been run at
a fair profit, that there is a great deal of
wheat being raised now in the south. and
that the acreage is increased every wear.
Gradually the south is getting out of the
bad habit of paying almost sole attention
to cotton planting. During the year lust

Boutelle, the vigorous kicker from
Maine, is not satisfied with Secretary
Herbert's explanation that the move
ments Of the navy in the Hawaiian bust
ness were in accordance with law and
precedent, and under the direction of the
President. What Boutelle wanted. PROB
ably, was an humble apology from the
secretary TO himself, praying pardon for
living on the same earth and breathing
the same atmosphere with Charles A.
Boutelle, without the said Boutelle's OK
plicit and written permission. OF the
Maine man it may be said, much Hawaii
has made him mad.

1t is much to be feared that this fellow
who is in New York claiming to be Anto-
MO Salini, late captain of the man-o'-w war
Natalie, is fraud. For, wasn't the cap
tain of the Natalie, together with all Of
his crew, shot by order of President Hy.
polltes And how can man shot in Hayti
for treason turn up in New York not even
half shot? ltwould not be in keeping with
the bold and honorable character that has
been given to Salini, who, it is alleged, de-
fed custom houses and paid his debts. to
sneak away from the snip at Hayti in or
der to save his hide, leaving his crew to
cool lead for the Haytians The story
from New York, however, viii have the
effect of putting Salini IN the doubtful
column, along with Tascott and Tom
Collins.

The report of the ending of the Brazilian
war, as contained in our dispatches, is
probably correct. Ever since it became
known that President Piexoto would not
succeed himself in the executive Office.
and that the next president would be
civilian, the insurgents had been fightirg
only for their lives Their original pur-
pose was, according to DaGama, to pre-
vent the establishment of military
oligarchy dominated by Piexoto and
when the general election removed all
danger of any such perversion of the sys-
TEN Of government, the insurgents were
left without a constitutional excuse for
continuing the war. II is said they We're
ready to surrender some weeks ago. if
they could be assured of general amnesty.
and DaGama is reported to have sought
an opportunity of surrenderinC to our Ad-
miral Benham, or some other foreign
commander at Rio. Under existing cir
cumstances il is probable that a procla-
nation Of general amnesty will be forth
coming and that Brazil will take a rest
from fighting. The effects of the war
have been most heavily felt by the com
merce of Rio, but the character Of the
staples handled there are such that,
with continuance Of peace, the trade
would revive rapidly. Coffee hides ana
India rubber are not quickly perishing
goods, hence the stocks on hand that
could not be handled during the contin-
uance Of hostilities have probably not de-
Perforated greatly In connection with
the war, it is remarkable how quickly De
Mello dropped from emmence as the
leader Of the revolt into obscurity upon
DaGama's Joining him.

Mrs. j. Ellen Foster the woman poll
tician who distinguished herself during
the last general campaign by her efforts
IN behalf Of the Republican party, is in
the field again with a scheme to charm
the Senate into carelessness as to whether
the new tariff bill passes or not. Mrs.
Foster is in New England recruiting an
army of pretty factory girls, and when
the army is organized she will march it to
Washington and into the presence of the
Senate, whore the slaughter of tariff re-
form will be demanded in the army's
name Mrs. Foster is drawing one girl
from each factory-the belle of the estab-
lishment-whose expenses are to be paid
by the manufacturer in whose employ she
is. The leader of this unique crusade evi-

to attack them where they are weakest.

HIS EXPULSION DEMANDED.

 Congress to Take Action on Colonel
 Breckinridee.
 WASHINGTON, April 10-As soon ss the trial of W. 0. P. Breokinridgs is concluded a resolution will be introduced in the house, probably by Q republican, calling for his expulsion.
 One of MT. Breokinridgs's democratic colleagues from Kentucky has been urged to introduce similar resolution, and Ia strongly inclined to do so, but in any event such a resolution will be intro- duced.
 If 1t should be passed, the Kentucky Lothario would bs the second of his name to be expelled from congress. The first was his uncle, John 0. Breckinridge, the father of Clifton R. Breckinridge of tke present ways and means committee of the house. He was expelled from the senate December IA, 1861, the resolution reading as follows:
 "Whsrese, John O. Breckinridge, 6 member of this body, from the state of Kentucky, has joined the enemies of his county, and is now in arms against the government he had sworn to support, therefore,
 "Reeolved, That raid John 0 Breckin- ridge. the traitor, be. and he hereby is, ex- peIled from the senate" On the resolution in this emphatic form the yeas and nays were ordered. There | were, thirty-seven votes in favor of It's passage and none against. The following | day MT. Rice of Minnesota, who had been absent, requested that his name be added I to the list, and this was done by unani- ! mous conse ent.
 The expulsion of Breckinridee was by | far the most impressive of all the ex | pulsions for disloyalty during the prog. seventeen others having been later dropped from the rolls for the came reason.
 Onlytwo men have ever besn expelled from the house of representatives, and both were expelled for disloyslty at the outbreak of the rebellion.
