The Democrats of Wisconsin have de-
cided to bring suit to test the constitu-
tionality of the apportionment act passed
at the recent special session Of the Legis-
lature. The Republicans were divided as
to the ~expediency of a special session.
but the Governor finally issued the call,
indicating the passage Of a new appor-
tionment law as the only work Of the
session. When the Legislature convened
several bills were prepared and an at
tempt was made by the majority to pass
a fair and just superintendent. as they
knew it would have to be passed upon by
the Supreme Court. A leading Repub-
lican Senator, a membe of the judiciary
committee, Is on record to the effect that
this effort on the part of a majority Of
the Republicans was defeated by the
action of a minority. which served notice
that If their interests were not taken
care of they would kill any bill hat
was presented. These s'vested interests"
were provided for, and the result was
the passage of an apportionment which
good lawyers of both parties say will not
stand the test of the Supreme Court.
Such cases emphasize the Necessity of
constitutional amendments in all the
States which will make 1t impossible for
either party to- pass partisan or unfair
a-pportioment.

A VIGOROUS FOREIGN SECRETARY.

Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain,
British Secretary of State for the Col
onies. has furnished anothe proof of his
his position. The word another is used
advisedly, because Mr.. Chamberlain has
recently furnished several proofs on the
same line. One of the first requisites Of
a practical statesman is to understand
the character and temper of the people
he has to deal with, and Mr.. Chamber
lain has shown that he possesses this
triotic and they admire frankness. They
will forgive much to a statesman who
shows a determination to maintain the
honor and interests of the empire under
any and all circumstances, and who
evinces a Willingness to take the people
into his confidence. When Mr.. Chamber
lain was called to his present position 1t
was predicted that he would make the
British colonial policy a lingo" policy.
The British people are not exactly jingo-
lists, but they do admire a certain degree
Of positiveness and bounce" in their
foreign policy, and Mr.. Chamberlain
seems to possess this quality in just the
degree they admire. In short, he UNDER
stands the British people.
In his speech at the Constitutional Club
Wednesday night Mr.. Chamberlain put
lined the British policy In South Africa
in the frankest possible manner. He
said h two governing factors in the
situation there were, first, that England
must continue to be the
power, and would do so at all risks and
costs against any foreign interference.
and, second. that owing to peculiar cir
cumstances 1t vas the part of wisdom
for England to maintain friendly rela-
tons with the Beers. If possible, for
many years to come. 81 intend" he said,
ito exhaust the resources of persuasion,
argument and negotiation to attain that
object" AS to the Matabele uprising, he
said the government was alive to its
gravity, n while it believed the local
forces would be able to suppress it, they
would. If necessity required. send enough
troops there to maintain British au-
thority.
Som Of h English papers called Mr..
Chamberlain's speech Optimistic" and
in view of the heavy war cloud gathering
in southern Africa it does appear some
what rosy. But it was patriotic. ag-
gressive and frank. and that is what the
British people like. In effect 1t was a
declaration that. come what may, British
prestige and power in Africa will be
maintained at all hazards and at what
ever cost against all enemies and COM
binations. by diplomacy If possible and
by war If necessary. Americans cannot
be expected to sympathize with Eng
lands aggressive colonial policy, but
there Is much to admire in the vigor
with which Mr.. Chamberlain asserts 1t.

GOVERNOR MrxINLEY's RECORD.

The New York Evening Post Is giving
the silver record Of Mr.. Mckinley. 1t
shows that he voted for the Bland bill
later on, and to pass that measure over
the veto of President Hayes Feb. 2S. 1873.
This is true; but why has not the Post
the candor to add that every Republican
and Democrat west OF the Allegheny
mountains, with the exception of Gar
field and one. or possibly two others, did
the same thing?
While the Journal is accused Of not
being a loud champion of the candidacy
OF Mckinley, it is in favor of fair play
The last Ohio utterance on the silver
question is not what it shculd ave been,
but the opponents of the Ex-Governor
forget that he said months ago that he
would not accept the Republican nomi-
nation on a free coinage platform. Now
for the other side. Does not the Post
remember that Mr.. Cleveland wrote a
letter to a well-known cheap-money adj
vocate, then in California, who wrote
him that he (the Greenbacker) was tell
ing Californians that he CMr. Cleveland)
was not hostile to silver, urging him to
go on with the good work on the Pacific
coast? Does not the Post remember that
MI. Cleveland was silent when Senator
Vest asserted in 1891 that he vas salts
fed that Mr. Cleveland, if President,
would not veto a free coinage bill? Does
1t not know that in the Fifty-frst Con-
gress, Feb. 6, 1891, when Mr.. Bland pro-
posed to attach a free coinage paragraph
the Chair ruled that the proposition was
in violation of a rule of the House which
provides that an appropriation bill shall
not be amended so as to change any ex-
listing law, every Democrat in the House
voting on the question. except seven,
voted to sustain Bland and to give the
country the idea that they favored free
silver? Does not the Post know that
Mr.. Carlisle was al advocate and sup
porter of free silver until he met with a
Saul of Tarsus conversion early in 1892?
Because. sudden, the g~enuineness Of the
Carlisle conversion Is not to be doubted
any more than is the ~soundness of Gov
ernor Mckinley, who was voting against
free coinage propositions for years while
Mr.. Carlisle was voting3or them. Nor
is it fair in the Post, when it is giving
Governor McKinley's record, to stop at
the point where he began to vote against
free coinage bills.
In view Of the crooked record of so
many sound-money Democrats it would
be better for the Post to be silent re-
garding Republicans. Whoever shall be
nominated at St. Louis will be placed
upon a sound-money platform. but it will
not contain the Cleveland proposition to
issue bonds to take the place Of the gov
ernment's legal-tender paper.

The reasons for repeating the clause of
the internal revenue law Of the last Con-
gress which provides that alcohol used
in the industrial arts shall be free of tax
are that 1t would cost 81. 200. 900 to carry
the provision into effect and that it
would deprive the treasury of $40, O00, 900
Of evenue. The administration has not
undertaken to carry ont that provision of
the law. Great Britain extends that IA
vor to it's manufacturers, while we COM
pei ours who use spirits in manufacture
ing to pay what is equivalent to a duty
Of over 500 per cent, on what, If it were
wool or ores. would be called a raw ma
terial. Some method should be devised
by which the American manufacturer
who uses alcohol could have it free Of
tax. Republicans placed the rebate pro-
vision in the Democratic revenue bill.

WHY THE FEDERAL ELECTION LAW
WAS REPEALED.

One of the acts Of the last Congress-,
controlled by Democrats, was the repeal
of the federal election law which pro-
vided for federal inspectors In the cleo
ton of Representatives to Congress. In
few things could the Democratic Presi-
dent. Ssnat and House agree, but all
were as n mar when 1t came to a
proposition to deprive the whole country
of the right to inspect the elections Of
men to legislate for the whole Nation.
When the measure was repealed the deed
was applauded by Democratic State and
congressional conventions throughout
the country.
The testimony in the contested case in
the Fifth Alabama district. which has
just been settled by the House In favor
Of the contestant, Goodwin, against
Cobb, discloses the animus Of the south
ern Democrats who were so anxious for
the repeal Of the law. The district is
composed Of six white and three black
counties. According to the official re-
turns the majority for Goodwin, Populist,
was 1872 In the white counties. but the
majority returned for Judge Cobb In the
black counties was 1900. In these black
counties every election officer was a
Democrat, which is in violation of law.
while in the White counties the Popu-
lists had representation on the election
boards. In the six white counties Cobb
received the support Of IS per cent. of
the total number OF persons Of the voting
age according to the census of 1890. In
the three black counties he received so
per cent. more votes than there were
white voters In 1890. Knowing that a
the name OF every colored man who
registered, the cclored voters were ad-
vised not to register, and the evidence
shows that the negroes very generally
conformed to that advice.
The investigation disclosed all sorts Of
frauds in the black counties. Ir one pre-
cinct $40 votes were re~turned-all for
Cobb. Yet the registrar. a Democrat.
testified that he thought there were
about Isl registered votes in May, and
did not recollect OF registering any others
prior to the November election, and his
recollection was sustained by a certified
copy OF the registration list. To this list
sixty-three names were added by some
one other than the registrar. and to this
was added a supplemental list of 322.
which by law should contain only the
| names OF those who came of age after the
May registration. 1t further appeared
from the testimony of the election clerk
| and manage that not exceeding eighty
votes were cast at the election. A mer-
chant testified that Of the 3s5 added
names he recognized but four. The bal
lots are not counted by precinct officers.
but by the county board, which added
| the 446 names and gave Mr.. Cobb 526
votes where only eighty ballots were de-
posted.
The foregoing Is a sample of the frauds
in the black counties. M yet with this
testimony before the House every Demo-
crat voted for the resolution to continue

In Howard county an alleged Prohibi-
ZIONIST who is reported to have been a
Democrat has been nominated for Rep
r~esentative against Mr.. Nicholson. 1t
a been given OUT that he will be in
dorsed by the Democrats and the Popu-
lists. and will have the earnest support
of the saloon element, backed by the
money Of the Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton. If elected to the Legislature he
would vote for Voorhees, for United
States Senator-Voorhees the champion
of the whisky men. This, however,
is not the first instance where the So
called Prohibition party has been made
the ally of the whisky interest.

Visitors to Washington never fail to re-
mark upon the beauty Of the trees which
adorn its parks and line its sidewalks. In
no other American city are the trees as well
kept and carefully trimmed. and nowhere
else do they perform so well their part in
identifying the city. The reason is that for
many years past Washington has aocpted the
policy of ownership OF street trees and made
their care and protection a municipal duty.
The result Is that not only are they judi
ciously selected with reference to best ef-
fects. but they are systematically cared for
and protected. In the whole city of Wash
ington one would not find a tree mutilated
and doomed to early decay bv having its
bark stripped off by horses hitched near 1t.
In this city it is almost an exception to find
a tree that Is not more or less mutilated
in that way. Notwithstanding this. the
trees which line the city's sidewalks form
one of it's principal attractions and deserve
more attention from the authorities.

Mr.. Paderewski, the pianist, has shown his
appreciation of American patronage In quite
a liberal way. Just before sailing for Eu-
rope on Wednesday he wrote a letter to one
of the Steinways. in New York. inclosing his
check for $40. 600. to be held in trust and in
vested in order to establish the following
t~riennial prizes fof composers of Amer
lean birth, without any distinction as to age
or religion: asyfsa
First-Five hundredcdollars for the best
orchestral work In symphonic form.
Second-Three hundred dollars for the best
composition for solo instruments with or
chestra.
Third-Two hundred dollars for the best
chamber music work, and the balance to be
used for the expenses connected with the
competition for these prizes.
In making this generous gift the artist
adds to mis- graciousness by writing: Il
take no pride in making this endowment.
The amount is a modest one, and my per-
sonality, in spite of, all the success. is of
little Importance. 1 only hope that it will
prove to be useful. and that your younger
composers will not consider 1t as a gift but
as a debt. and a little encouragement COM
ing from one who found In their land all
the happiness to which an artist can aspire"
The American people nave showered wealth

as remembered this is the first time one of
them has done anything forYthe encourage
ment of art in this country.

The passage of the greater New York
bill over the vetoes Of the Mayors OF
New York and Brooklyn seems a plain
disregard OF the principle of home rule.
and Is not likely to advance the cause Of
municipal reform in any way. The ex-
pertinent OF bringing a population Of
5000 600 under such a city government
as that OF New York Is one of very
doubtful wisdom. After all that has been
said In favor Of the bill the sole object
seems to be to swell the enumeration OF
New York in the census report.
