consultation with Superintendent Oliver
in relation to an excursion rate for dele
gates to the next annual meeting OF the
South Dakota Synod of the Presbyterian

meeting in the Hills and much depended
on the reduction in passenger rates.
Nothing definite was reached but at a
very low rate the expense is SO great that
it is not likely that the synod will meet
in the Hills. Mr.. Careon returned home

Has the Senate Degenerated ?

The April Forum will contain a
notable article by Senator Hoar entitled
Has the Senate Degenerated?" In his
article the gentleman from Massachu-
setts acknowledges the existence of a
widespread and growing impatence
with the condition of things in the SEN
ate, and that this feeling of distrust
seems to be growing among the men
who. if the senate be what the trainers
of the constitution meant and hoped,
should be the its strongest support. He
admits that in recent years the senate
has often failed in it's duty to enact
measures which the public desired
ana which a majority of its member
ship favored, by reason of Instructions
to the will of the majority. Senators
who have great measures in their
charge are compelled to sit in VeXed
and angry impatience while other SEN
ators pour out an eternal stream of
! inane and empty chatter, chatter about
matters which have no present prac-
| tical Importance whatever"
This evil, in Senator Hoar's opinion,
is but manifestation in the senate of
| the "pestilent and prevalent" evil which
| is showing itself elsewhere in many
parts of the country, the attempt by
minorities to prevent the constitutional
action of majorities whenever the mi
nority happen not to like it," But he
thinks that practical cure can be
found for these evils If only the senate
can have the support of an aroused
wise, and well-instructed public senti,
ment. "The cure will not be found in
Incorporate reviling of the senate, OF
in passionate expressions of despair fol
the republic" The senator suggests as
| remedies: First, that laws should be
enacted furnishing, by sufficient penal
ties, every senator or representative

A DISTANT VIEW OF QUAY.

From the Pawtucket, X. l., Post.
Mr.. Quay must not be moderated as a
leader. He is a broad and square work.
er in politics, never leaving his friends
unless they leave him and always meet
ing his promises. He is one of the fore
most of the Republican leaders of the
day, richly deserving of the confidence
of his party and a builder whose meth
DDS have made Pennsylvania the abso-
lutely certain Republican state that it
is.
We do not agree with the clamor and
cry of organized interests that demand
his relegation to the rear. 1t Is unjust
and the evidence of an uugrateful spirit
and we believe that the people of Penn
sylvana will never consent to the set
ting aside of Quay simply because some
other personalities want to take his
place.
The cry about Quay comes too, with
i'll grace from the very men who have
proiited by his kindly offices If Wanna
maker could collect a campaign fund in
the Harrison contest and not only pay 1t
over to Quay as the national chairman,
but assist In the disbursement, he certainly
should find no fault with the senator to-
day, for he is the same now as he was
then

AN EDUCATIONAL MISTAKE.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
The house of representatives OF the
Pennsylvania Legislature has killed the
bill providing for an increase Of the mini
mum school term in that state from six
TO seven months. Strange to say, the rep
resentatives from the rural sections, the
intended benefciaries of the measure, are
responsible for its defeat. Pennsylvania
ought to be second to no state in educa-
tional facilities and work. One of the
original thirteen, great in area and
wealth, she should be at the front in this
respect But 1t is a fact that rural Penn
sylVana lags far behind many of the new
states in the length of school term, n
the salaries of teachers, in the character
of schoolhouses, and in the general eff
ticienCy of schools
In twenty-seven states of the Union the
children in the country schools have from
seven to eight months schooling in i
year. leaving only eighteen states with
less than seven months. Pennsylvania IS
one of the eighteen, and it is by no means
to her credit that she is willing to occupy
that relative position. These country
lawmakers of Pennsylvania have made d
mistake that, in the long run, will work
to the injury of their constituents.

A Crisis i'm Cuba.

1t Is reported, with what accuracy we
do not know, that the Spanish govern
ment, seeing its treasury empty its
credit gone and its armies In Cuba ana
the Philippines in arrears in pay, vast
ed by disease and discouraged; ana
realizing at last as the rainy season
approaches. that the war in Cupa can"
not be prosecuted with success, is about
to make an overture to the United
States in solicitation of its aid in COM
posing peace
The first definite negotiation which
it is believed Spain will attempt
will have for it's purpose the assump-
tiun by Cuba of its war debt in eX-
change for a form of autonomy inNolV-
ing only nominal allegiance to Spain
1t is indeed reported that conVeh-
tion to this effect has already been
drafted in Madrid. for presentation TO
the Mckinley administration, it beng
Spain's wish to secure an American
guarantee of the payment of the cuban
debt, 50 as to repair Spains credit IN
the financial centers of Europe From
q Spanish standpoint such an overture
would be most desirable, since 1t would
unload the whole burden of the cuban
war. evade the payment of multiply
ing interest charge, satisfy the ignor-
ant Spanish populace who would re-
volt If Cuba We're to be freed outright,
and make it possible for the tanoVas
administration to negotiate new loans
for urgent domestic purposes. From
an American standpoint it is, of course,
preposterOus.
If this fails, as fail it must, 50 far
at least as an American guarantee is
concerned, Spain viii be forced to treat
directly with the Cuban insurgents
Such condition is to be welcomed by
Americans Now that our interests in
Cuba are being cared for and our treaty
rights enforced and respected, the most
that citizens of the United States car
hope for is that the Cubans in reVol'
will carry their point, We cannot aiC
them by direct intervention nor do they
want us to- They have the trump card:
in their own hands, and need simply
to play with adroitness to win the en-
tire stake.

THE SWALLOW FIASCO.
From the Lebanon Report,

The result Of the trial of the Swallow
libel suits is no more than could have
been anticipated by all who have followed
up the case. The reverend gentleman's
defeat was in fact all too plainly indicat-
ed. Considering the loud ado he made,
the gravity of the charges and the mis-
cradle apology of proof he had to offer,
nothing else could have been expected,
DR., Sallow win now have the poor sat
isfacuon of knowing that he has done
more harm than good in his sanguine but
ill-Considered attempt to reform" things
in this commonwealth. His case Is a
good lesson and should be such for al
similar 'reformcrs."

Having admitted the truth of so mucn

things that, in his opinion, ought to be

They made him unlock the door OF the
cell I'm which Sullivan was confined. one
man carried a rope with hangman =
moose on the end. lie threw the moose
over Sullivans head and dragged him
from the cell.
Sullivan seemed 10 realize that his time
had come and begged the men 10 allow
him TO walk to the place OF execution
without choking him. The moose was
lOOsened. but ii was still kept around his
neck and sullivan was half dragged and
half led 10 the country bridge which
crosses Cumberland river about 800 yards

bridge tho loose end OF the rope was
thrown over one of the over head beams
and Sullivan was jerked up until his feet
We're nearly foot from the floor. The
