drastic one for them, it is about all they can
expect. The new plan will effect reduction
in fixed charges of about S717,OO although
the capitalization will be somewhat increased
and the increase is not such as to compel
payment Of anything until it is earned. It
is to be hoped that the present scheme will
be Of permanent benefit and not like the
Corbin scheme of 1887, merely a make-shift

THE suggestion has been made that Penn
sylvania adopt the Ohio plan in the selection
Of United States Senator to succeed J.
Donald Cameron. When the delegates to
the next state convention are chosen let the
names Of the various candidates for Senator
he submitted to the people and instructions
voted at the primaries in every county in the
state the candidates subsequently placed in
regular nomination in the convention and
the one receiving the largest number of
votes declared the caucus nominee This is
the way Ex-Governor Foraker, of Ohio, was
chosen to succeed Senator Brice. The plan
is novel one, and it gives every Republican
voter the opportunity to express his choice
for this high office and besides is the means
of averting contests of a disgaceful and un-
seemly character so often characteristic of
Legislatures in electing United States
Senators.
