Two SenatOrshiDs,

The eyes of the republican politicians will

and Frankfort, Kentucky. A senatorial
prize is dangling at each place, and no lit
tie speculation is in progress as to the re-
suit of the contests. In the one case the
republicans have everything their own
way. In the other they are balancing
nervously. with a bare majority of one on
joint ballot in the legislature. and with the
rival aspirants for the honor in a decidedly
warlike humor
The New York legislature is controlled by
the friends of Thomas c. Rlatt If Mr..
Platt desires the senatorship there seems
every reason to believe that he will be
chosen. He may not desire it. His inter-

Black was not Mr.. Platt's choice for gov

have him in the Senate here rather than in
the state house at Albany. But could Mr..
Black afford to accept tine transfer at Mr.
Platt's hands? Does not his election cali

In Kentucky they are wrestling with this

entering upon the second year of a four
year term of office. He has scarcely had
time to cut out the work he was elected to
perform He has high qualifications for
that work, through years of close study
and sharp criticism of the long rule Of the
opposition. Now, there is a movement on
foot to elect him to the Senate. The move
ment has democratic assistance. and for
that reason it is provoking great deal of
comment. The fear is expressed in some
quarters that its main support Is demo-
cratic. The transfer of Gov Bradley to the
Senate would require an election for gov

democrats a chance to recapture the gov

Delay Mt 500 u Day.

Some time has passed since Judge Cox
refused to permit the receiver for the Eek
iLgton and Belt roads to issue certificates
TO pay for the compressed air experiment,
and NJ announcement has yet been made
as 10 the next probable move in the direc-
ton of compliance With the Congression-
al command to equip the lines on rapid
,rarsit basis. The roads are public insti-
tutiohs and their patrons are entitled to
consideration even when financial dittiC ul-
ties are encoun tered. The people who are
obliged to use these lines in going about
their daily duties should not be kept wait
ing for the modern facilities to which they
are legally entitled any longer than the
limitations on the physical possibilities to
complete the equipment render necessary
Moreover 1t is to be remembered that days
have direct money value to the holders
of stock in these roads, for the act Of
June 10. Under which the companies are
now supposed to be acting, but are really
failing to act. puts penalty of $40 for
each day during which either corporation
falls or neglects to comply with the pro-
visions of that section which requires the
roads to begin to equip the city portions
Of their Lines with compressed air motors
on a fixed date. The absolute lack of evil
dence that the companies have in any prac-
teal sense begun to so equip their lines
renders them now liable for eighty-two
days penalty. amounting to s4.1OO for each
road $500 in ALL A test of this fine
was made in September before a justice
of the peace and resulted in judgment for
the District, from which an appeal was
taken that has not been argued. Thus. 50
far as the law has been invoked, it has
been upheld. How long will the roads will
ingly continue to pile up the burden of this
