CLOSER TO THE PEOPLE.

1t has been too evident that the
United States senate long ago ceased to
be a body representative Of the peo-
pie. 1t has also lost the conservatism
that once characterized it, and has
become the most reckless advocate Of
shameless defender of public and pri
vate jobbery. The house, the body
which the people have been taught for
generations to regard as too much
swayed by the passions of the moment,
too radical in it's views and intemp-
crate in it's actions, is today the only
really popular and safe branch Of the
legislature. The senate is a mere
make-Weight, or worse.
The difference between the two is
seen in their attitude toward the
amendment of the sundry civil bill,
which orders the revocation Of Presi-
drawing forest reserves from settle
ment. No sense of shame no apprecia-
ton Of the magnitude of the interests
involved, no knowledge that the mo-
tives which inspired it must be i'm
mediately understood, prevented the
senate from coming to the rescue of the
lumber syndicates and land grabbers
and directing the revocation of this
order. When the bill came back to
the house this amendment was nom
concurred in by vote of nearly three
to one. There is danger, of course,
that the spectators who trade upon
their ability to control legislation will
get in their work when the two houses
come into conference.
The value Of these forest reserves
to the whole country is so great that
nothing should be neglected which will
serve to retain them, and to defeat the
schemes Of some Adventures who have
drawn a number of Western senators
to their support. This is only one of
numerous instances in which the house
has to do battle for the people as
against the private privilege and the
greed of monopoly that are so firmly
intrenched in the senate. Let the bat
tie be fought to the finish.

sales to grocers and trace the butter
to the tables, interview the buffers and
find out how MILFORD and miiady like
it. and make yoluminous reports of the
results. American butter Of the finest,
to the quantity Of ton and a half, has
just gone over seas, in especially con-,
structed refrigerators. to wage war
with the Danes and conquer the Eng
lish. Il
But this action suggests an extension
of this paternal care. Why stop at
merely introducing samples to mar
ket that private enterprise has hither-
to been unable to open? What assur-
ance is there that, after our finest has
tickled the fastidious palates OF Eng
land into an appetite for more Of the
same. private enterprise will rouse
from its sluggishness and follow up the
opening with further consignments?
And should it stir itself to the effort
where will be the prestige Of the back
ing of the department Of agriculture
with its flavor Of off1cialism, so dear to
the English heart? In short, why not,
to slightly change the street phrase.
go the whole cow and have the depart
ment of agriculture take sole charge
of the export and marketing Of all our
surplus butter? Why should men do
what a government can do for them?
That is a sufficient reason In these
days of triumphant paternalism, but
there are others. Why should not the
acceptance or rejection Of our butter
by any foreign nation not be made
basis of negotiation of treaties or
reciprocity, the acceptance to be fol-
lowed by lowered tariffs and the re-
fusal by increase?
Another reason that, we are confl-
dent, will appeal strongly to the par
! ty short on salaried places and long
on demand would be the immense in
crease of positions exempt from the
chilling effects of the civil service law
and it's rules, and, in the present emer-
gency, immune from presidential or
ders extending the classified lists. Ev-
erything then, except common sense,
demands this expansion of paternal-
ism; logic, that scorns half a step,
party expediency, that demands that
| something be done for the farmer, and
the raucous cry of the ravenous crowd
who stand, with outstretched hands,
crying: Place, place.

THE CONCERT OF THE POWERS

THE "CONCERT OF THE POWERS"
One who has tried to extract from
the tangle of news from Crete, Greece
and Turkey a sense of what it was all
about and why there should be that
concert Of the powers" which has
been playing farce comedy part up
to this time, wants to know what this
concert is and what it is for On the
surface it is an agreement of the prin-
cipal powers of Europe that the gen.
eral peace Of the nations party to it
shall be preserved. But why should
they have to go into a common agree
ment not to get to fighting among
themselves? One can understand why
men, and nations too, might combine
to attack other men or nations or to
resist attacks, but have the European
nations become so quarrelsome that
they have to agree not to fight or
permit each other to fight? Well, the
surface view of the concert warrants
a conclusion as absurd as that. But
the under view reveals quite a differ
emf condition 1t is easiest explained
by illustration.
An old man, heirless and decrepit,
possessing a large estate, is undergo
ing slow dissolution. Some day he will
die and his estate must be parted.
Heirs near or remote he has none, but
he has neighbors who, however I'M
willing to ''take his part while living,
are willing to take his whole when he
dies The estate escheats to them, and
they have only to wait for his demise
to get it. But there is no rule of di-
vision, and, naturally, each one expects
then to get the largest slice of the
estate that it can get and hold. Any
one of them would take it all if it
could, and any one of them would ex-.
pedite the death Of the old man, if
that would give it a chance to grab
all or a sufTicing piece Of the estate
This feeling naturally makes each one
Jealous and watehful of the others.
There is condition OF mutual distrust.
So, pending the death of the sick man,

AROUND THE HOTELS.
Gen. and Mrs. Miner Temporary
Guests at the Ryan.

Gen. John Kemp Miner, whose name
has been mentioned as a probable sue
cessor to Gen. Brooke as the head of
the department of the Dakota, passed
through st. Paul yesterday en- route
for Fort Assinaboine, where he is SEN
ior officer as well as colonel of the
Tenth United States cavalry stationed
at that place.
Gen. Miner, who is accompanied by
Mrs. Miner, is returning from trip
to Europe made on a leave of absence
which began the first of the year, and
took occasion, even before the Wash
ington dispatches announcing the pres
ident's appointments had been received,
to say that there was no possibility
that he was to be appointed to the de-
partment of Dakota, where he has
host of friends. 1t will be remembered
that the president desiged Gen. Miner
for head of this department during the
brief time, not long ago, when Gen.
Brooke was absent from his post.
Gen. and Mrs Miner received a
number Of friends during the day at
the Ryan hotel, and left for the West
on the overland train.
Col c. J. Monfort, of the Windsor.
returned yesterday from three weeks
trip to the South. When the colonel
reached home he found awaiting him a

ing that he had been appointed an aiGe

Clough. The title of colonel goes with
the appointment, but that doesn't hep
the popular hotel man for he has
already graced that title for many
periods.

wants to block Russia's entrance to the

does not care to see any increase of
strength in her neighbors on the East

with their recent colonizing policies,

OF the division. So they agree upon q
concert OF, action to prevent any inva-
sion Of the integrity of Ottoman ter

grand division When Greece endeav-
ored to take Crete the concert required
united action to prevent even that tri-
fling spo1iation of their future spoil,
and now they will probably interfere
to prevent Turkey from charging her
southern border by absorbing the por-
ton of Greece taken from her in 1882,
and now occupied by her troops.

bly, to keep present peace, but, I'M
doubtedly, to be in position to take
generous slice of Turkey when the
