Politics and Law.

The question is presented by the de-
cision Of the supreme court of New Jersey
whether the democratic senators Of that
. state were prompted by partisan politics
or their belief they were RICH: in bringing
ahouta deadlock in the legislature and
/ preventing all legislation for nearly two
months. When the legislature met the
House was quickly organized. 1t had a
republican ma '0rty, and, therefore, or
gained with republican officers. The
Senate has twenty-one members. Nine
are ho'd-over senators, all democrats
/ There are twelve uewly-elected senator's,
OF whom eleven are republicans and one
is a democrat. Had all the senators met
together the republicans would have had
one majority and would, therefore have
controlled the organization.
The dempcrats, however, claimed that
under the constitution the Senate is
c0ntinuou, body. and that, therefore, the
hold over senator's had a right to pass
upon the credentials of the newly elected
senators. The republicans refused to adj
nit this claim. 1t was understood to be
the purpose Of the democrats 10 give the
seat Of one Of the republican senators To
democrat, on the ground that thercpub-
lican had secured his election by fraud
This would have given the control Of the
Senate to the democrats.
The supreme court composed of
five democrats and three rcpubl-
cans decided that the Senate is
not a continuous body, and that
therefore, the hold-ovcr democrats have
no authority to organize the Senate
and pass upon the credentials of the
newly elected senator's. The decision of
the court appears to be very generally APP
proved.
But were the democratic senators sin
cere in the position they took, or did they
engage in a game of politics, hoping to
win by a technicality Of some kind, The
republicans say, Of course, that the demo.
Gratis knew they were wrong and caused
the state great expense and brought
about vast deal of trouble simply to
gain partisan end If this were so they
have done their party great wrong, be-
cause the people are sure to resent wrong
doing of that sort. The probabilities arc
that the democratic senators were sincere
in what they did. On the point that
was at issue the constitution of
New Jersey and the federal CON
stitution are so much alike that
it takes a very clear-headed lawyer
to discover any difference. Nobody ques-
tions that the United States Senate is
continuous body and from the reading Of
the two constitutions it would seem as if
the New Jersey Senate is also
The question, however, has been settled
otherwise. The democrats were wrong
and it is but fair to them to admit that
they were honest in the position they
maintained so stubbornly and at such an
expense TO the state.

Tha Herald Rvsterical.

The New York Herald in its efforts TO
/ be sensational becomes historical IN a
double-loaded article il calls on tie Sen
ate to send the Wilson tariff bill to a con
ference committee at once. 1t hasn't the
most remote idea that its advice will be
accepted II knows very well that there
is no probability that the Senate will do
what it suggests. And il is a question
whether or not it would act wisely by do
ing so.
The senators purpose expressing their
views of the bill. They want TO 90 on
record in respect TO it. and they intend to
follow their own inclinatiOns in the mat
ter. If il should be sent to a conference
committee Of the two houses now the con
ferees on the part of the Senate would be
without any guide as to what would be
acceptable TO the majority of the Senate,
and they might agree to report which
the Senate would re ect The report
would be debatcable, and the time occu-
pied in debating it might be pretty nearly
as long if not longer than the debate
upon the bill is likely to be- Nothing
would be gained, therefore, by sending
the bill TO a conference committee before
the democratic senators have reached an
agreement as to what they want, and
what they intend to insist upon from the
conference committee.
1t IS true the Senate is wasting a good
deal of valuable time i'll preparing for a
debate upon the bill 1t ought to be
about ready now to vote upon the bill. 1t
has had it six weeks or more, aud is likely
to keep it six weeks longer. The
delay is doing vast amount of harm. but
the Herald's hysteIical scheme would
hardly lessen the delay.
The thing to do is to create a public sen
timent that viii force the Senate to act
upon the bill promptly Instead of occupy
ing six weeks or two months debating the
bill the debate should be limited to two or
three weeks. If more time than that is
needed let the Senate sit eight hours a
day instead of four.
Inc whole country wants prompt action
Nearly every business interest is suffering
from the uncertainty which the delay
causes, but it is not likely that there will
be any demand foc such course of action
as that advised by the Herald, simply he
cause it would not result in the Wilson
bill becoming a law sooner than it will b.

4 month and a half after its delivery in
the House, the speech of ''Cap'n Charles
A. Boutelle, late u. s. N" on
the Hawaiian matter, appears in
the Congressional Record. in such a
swollen and inhamed state, however. that
its identity is almost lost 1t is now
about twice the size it was, filling thirty
five pages Of solid type, whereas, it
would not have filled more than eighteen
or twenty pages as spoken in the House.
An reference to the fact that Boutelle
was repeatedly called to order for his
yituperativc personalities and indecent
attacks upon the executive are eliminated
from the Record, and the speech, as
printed, bristlcs with applause"
laughter "long-continued applause"
etc, stuck in where Boutelle was the most
pleased with or amused at himself. For
Boutclle edited his speech himself. put
ting itin the shape he wished it to 80 be-
fore his constituents in Maine. The Bal
timore Suns Washington man says of the
printed speech; Coarse and indecent as
were the words which he spoke, the
words which he prints are even more so.
No examination Of the debates of congress
can disclose any occasion when member
of either House has assailed the executive
with such vituperation.' This speech
furnishes a shining example Of the license
taxed by INSCRIPTIONS members when
permitted to correct" their speeches
for publication in the Record.

Judge McAdam. of New York. is ac-
curing reputation as a kind of a Solo
mon of Gotham by his wise conclusions
and fine distinctions. The other day he
handed down a decision under which a
man may have two wives at once under
the New York law and still not be biga-
mist The same liberty, of course. is ac-
corded to wives in the matter of hus-
bands The question came up under a
sort of Enoch Arden incident, where a
second marriage was contracted under
the mistaken supposition that the former
spouse of one of the contracting par.
ties, who had been absent for more than
five years, was dead. The decision. while
recognizing the validity of the second
marriage, holds that upon the dis Covery
that the first spouse is living, the persons
joined by the second ceremony cannot live
together with any regard to propriety.
Neither party to the second marriage.
however, can afterward be regarded in

Senator Peter introduced a bill on
Wednesday that has a degree Of merit.
1t is, therefore, unique among his bills.
The bill referred to is one for the estab-
fishing of an experimental station at
which electricity may be tested as a mo
tive POWER for the farm. 1t would be
quite interesting and very amusing to
farmers to see electricity at work plow-
ing, pulling up stumps and milking the
cows. From that standpoint alone the
bill is mcritOrious. Electricity is al
ready as firmly established as a motive
power as steam itself. There is no secret
about how it is generated or applied. nor
is there any doubt of the results that will
follow its proper application. The coun-
try is full of electric manufacturing CON
Germs, every one of which is an expcri-
mental station in itself, and always quite
ready TO tackle any problem in electric
application that may be submitted to it.
Ask almost any mechanical engineer if
electricity cen be made to run a corn
shelter and he will say yes, and explain
how to gear the motor and the machine
The agricultural experimental stations
are, in sense, chemical laboratories at
which unknown quantities are constantly
sought after Electricity, as a motive
power, is known quantity, wanting only
mechanical skill to utilize it, Inventors
and manufacturers are furnishing what
ever skill may be necessary to the appIi-
cation Of electricity to anything that
moves, hence governmental electrical
experimental station is not needed.

With to-day Lent comes to an auspi-
cious close. Tomorrow the Easter butter
fly will emerge from its crystals of sack
cloth and ashes and flutter away a thing
of beauty and the Joy of the world. The
Lenten season is approved by custom and
religion; even the religious sects that
have no ritualistic sympaJhies with the
institution are not out of favor with it,
1t is sort of period of rest and of purif-
cation from the frivolities of social life,
that must do good to body and soul. There
are practiced lot Of travesties upon self
denial during Lent, but they really do
very little if any harm, and the under
lying principle is good Even the society
deyotee who learns TO eat green cheese as
a penanco, strengthens and improves her
self against the dire but improbable con.
tingency of having to dine off the moon.
