THE ROMAN SENATE.

Senator Turpie, of Indiana, is a
scholarly man and in his speeches
occasionally injects an interesting bit of
history. In speech delivered few
days ago he gave some facts about the
Roman Senate, when he said:
"some of the rules of the Roman
Senate resembled our own. No business
could be transacted without the pres.
ence of quorum. The question of a
quorum, as familiar in that assembly as
in this, might be raised at any time, by
any member, in two words addressed to
the presiding officer-numera senatum-
count the Senate. A Senator desiring
to speak sometimes addressed
the chair, but in every case his fellow
members collectively, as patres con-
script. The speeches of the Senators
might be and often were read from manu-
script, practice which has lasted even
until this day. There was no previous
question or cloture. Debate was held
without limit as to time. Those who
grossly abused this rigl of speaking
without interruption were sometimes
forced to quit by the noise and clam or
made by their fellow members. Occasion
ally the whole Senate Joined in these
demonstrations. The presiding officer
attempted to interrupt, more than once,
an obnoxious speaker, but this was not
tolerated by the Senate.
"When certain Senator one day, in

When the antitrust law was applied
by the courts to cover trades unions,
as was the case during the Chicago riots,
the railroad corporations were much
gratiied and rejoiced exceedingly. Now,
however, that the recent decision of the
supreme court applies the law to rail-
road pooling to prevent competition,
the railway magnates are loud with COM
plants. This is a horse Of another color.
1t was lovely and all right when ap.
piled to trades unions, and when by
rulings under the law, Debs and several
associates were convicted and punished
some did not think it possible the
millionaire r. r. corporations would be
brought under this antitrust law. Per.
haps it was not so intended, but the un-
expected will come now and again. The
court decided that competition shall be
allowed in transportation.
Senator Chandler, in recent inter.
view of considerable length, said:
'"Ihe contract made by Mr.. Ingalls,,
Mr.. Depew and others is that no rail.
road in the association shall reduce its
fares and rates to the public without the
consent of the board of managers of the
pine great railroads making the associa-
ton. This is a combination in restraint
of commerce among the States, and is a
high misdemeanor, according to the law
of July 2, $780, and the recent decision
of the supreme court. 1t remains to be
seen whether these gentlemen will con-
tinue to perpetrate that crime and invoke
the laws delay, until there can be re.
affirmation of the supreme court decision.
They are probably too discreet to thus
defy the law and the courts"

BRYAN PLEASED.

Ohio and Other States. and
Is Not Surprised.

Washington April 7.-(SIeGial. )-The
jollie't, biggest and glsddest Democrat
on this mundane spi ere, Tuesday was
William Jennings Bryan, who, though a
defeated candidate, still is O magnet
which draws the multitude sbout him.
Speaking of the resulS in Ohio, Michigan
and elsewhere, Bryan said to your c,r-
respondent:
II am delighted at the quito 1ne Of the
spring elections. DENT cratic victories
in large cities like Cincinnati, Detroit and
elsewhere, which declared for McKinlsy
only few months ago reveal a revul.ion
Of sentiment. 1 have bean watching
spring city campaigns with much in
terest, and while l am pleased over the
result am not surprised one iota.
" To me it was the logical RESULT Of
logical conclusions. 1t was bound to
ONE. l felt confdens that the people
would soon see the error Of their faith ia
the Republican doctrines of tariff as a
psnscea for the financial distress.
This victory is but a start and the be-
ginning of Lew conf ience in the Demo
cratic policy and platform. Campau, Of
Michigan has wired me that there were
big silver gains in Michigan. predict
that such will be the case all over.
"'I do not exect tJ 90 to Ohio for the
fall campaign. However 1 will pass
through the state on my return from
Washington, and cannot now say whether
I will make any SPEECHES Or not"
Bryan refused to discuss Hanna's sena-
toiial prosscts next fall, nor would he ut
ter ore gloating word over the Republi-
San downfall In Ohio.

Address by DIR. LIE wis.

The Salem Herald speaks highly Of an
address made by DR.. J. V. Lewis on the
OCCASION of the Jefferson Day celebration
by the Bimetallic League, at Salem. DR..
Lewis reviewed briefly the life of Jeffer-
son and then dwelt at length on the
principles and ideas so ably set forth by
that immortal patriot and man Of the
people. jefferson in history has not re-
osiyed his just dues, but es each year
ushers into light the result of one or
mora of his prophecies In regard TO the
people and forms Of government, more
weight ia being scsordei to his views,
which time has shown TO have been in
the interests Of the people only. Many
people believe, and rightly SO that for
high-mindsd statesmapship, and single
ness Of purpose the good of his country
and humanity in general, no man has
ever been the peer of Thomas Jefferson,
not excepting even Washington himself.
Lincoln closely follows Jefferson in prin-
ciples advocated and defended at ell costs
and hazards.

of kidney trouble Too frequent desire

There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, Kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad eff
tects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled TO get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized

The result Of Mondays election in.
dicstes that Canton is still a Democratic
city. Mayor kice was reelected by 53G
majority. The city solicitor and water
works trustees are both Democratic,
together with three members of the
board Of education, six councilmen, and
the whole township ticket. This is the
greatest Democratic victory that has
taken place in Canton siuce 1889 and it
is an urerrinH index that Molly Stark
will again take her place in the list of
Democratic counties.
There was bitter fight wsged against
Mayor Rice by the opposition. Two Re
publican organs daily belched forth their
volleys of abuse upon him. He was made
the object of their wrath because he sup
ported Bryan for PRECEDENT, but in spite
Of it all he was elected by over four times
the majority he had two years ago.
The city council, which at present
tie, will stand ten Democrats and four
Republicans. The board of education,
which has been sclidly Repu blican, will
now be tie and AL. True's water works
board has teen badly punctured.
We congratulate Mayor Rice on his re
election. 1t is only the beginning of u
series Of Democratic victories which are
sure to follow in Canton as long as the
Republican organization remains in
the hands Of the present leaders.

John Sherman, speaking in the Senate
not very long ago, said he would favor a
provision in the tariff law directing the
suspension of duty on any article that
should be controlled by a trust and ar.
bitrarily advanced in price.
A Republican convention in Allegheny
county few days ago approved and en-
dorsed this principle. And the Demo-
Gratis proposed an amendment of this
character to the Dingley tariff bill last
Friday, but it was voted down by solid
Republican vote in the negative. OF
course the advocates of protection are
the friends of trusts, and such a tariff
creates and protects trusts. Hence the
Dingley fellows voted down the pro.
posed amendment to the bill. The
trusts must have full swing.

Congressman Payn, of New York, the
other day, in replying to Jerry Simpson,
of Kansas, as to who pays the tax, mar.
rated the experience of two farmers, one
a resident OF his district, the other a
resident of Canada, across the river, and
he added;
"My constituent took 100 tons of hay
to Buffalo and sold it for 81 900, which
he brought back and put into his home
bank. The Canadian farmer also took
100 tons Of hay to Buffalo and sold it
TOR 81 600 But he had to leave $500
with Uncle Sam as duty Gt was under
the Mckinley law, and he took home
with him but 5000"
This rejoinder was conclusive enough
or the Republican mind to elicit ap-
plause; but before the echoes had died
out Mr.. Terry, of Arkansas, neatly coun.
tered with the remark;
"The fallacy of the gentleman's con.
clusion was that it failed to take into
consideration the effect of that 40 per
cent duty on the market price. Had it
not been for that duty the price would
have been but 1000 for the 100 tons; so

The Dingley tariff bill now goes to the
Senate; and it is said to be bungling
piece of work in that line, the most so
of any measure of the kind that ever
passed the House. 1t is neither pro-
tective nor a revenue bill, the main OBJ
ject being to tax the people in the in
teIest Of trusts. No one imagines it will
become law as it has passed the House.
The Senate will probably change it mate
rally, so that Dingley, Reed & Co. will
hardly know their own child. In fact,
the way the bill has been managed and
put through is an abominable disgrace
and farce. Every decent principle of
honest legislation has been violated or
disregarded.

were all divided. Now that good sense
prevails and people see the absolute ne

American people do not want increased
taxation, with more and more lavish
expenditures by increasing officials and
