Carolina the right of the people to Sc
lect their Senators has become the
settled policy of the Democratic par
ty. The people vote for Senator in
the primaries that nominate members
of the Legislature (when that body is
to choose Senator) and the matter is
settled there and then. The Legisla-
lature goes through the formality of
selecting Senator, but the people
have already chosen him at the polls.
This policy not only restores into the
hands Of the people most important
privilege. but puts an end to expen-
sive and irritating deadlocks in the
Legislature, abolishes intrigue, and
does away with the lobbies that attach
themselves to various candidates. On
more than one occasion the people OF
a State have been left for months nth
only one representative in the Senate
owing to adcadlock in the Legislature,
the result of private intrigue, personal
prejudice, and the power and influ-
ence of selfish interests. This can
never occur when the people of State
are permitted to choose their own
Senators in the primaries, or when
voting for members of a Legislature
that is to be called tc select Senator.

startling one. There were, according
to the record of the Chicago Tribune,
$500 suicides in this country, Of

for these crimes, the Tribune gives

A SHINING LIGHT GONE OUT.

In the death Of Samuel A. Harper,
which occurred at his home in Mad
son last Saturday night, the state OF
Wisconsin suffers a great loss, and a
wide circle of friends is deeply sad
dened. II has been the writer's
privilege to know Mr.. Harper as
professional man, as an active poll
teal force and as a social companion,
and in every capacity to find him
strong, earnest, honest, true and
kind. "The elements so mixed in
him that nature might stand up and
say to all the world, this WdS n man."
For truth, justice and the right he
knew no equivalent.
He was perhaps best known as the
staunch friend and able champion Of
Hon. r. NJ. La Toilette, for whom be
stood undaunted through evil as well

WASHINGTON LETTER


From our revuRr correspondent
WssHfSGTDN, g. g.. Mar. 81. 1850
General Grosvenor's explicit de-
NAL was not needed to convince the
public that there was not word Of
| truth in the statement that President
| Mckinley was anxious for congress
to finish the appropriation bills and
adjourn in order that he might set
tie Cuban question without interfer-
euce from congress. President Me
Kinley has never regarded congress
rs an impeachment; on the contrary,
he has from the day of his Inaugural
tion treated every senator and repre-
sentative ms advisers upon whom he
had a right to depend and upon
whom he has depended right along.
In fact, no president has ever more
fully recognized congress as CO.
ordinate branch of the government.
Instead of desiring congress to adj
journ and leave him to handle the
Cuban question ingle-handed, Pres
ident Mckinley desires congress to
remain in session aud assist him in
settling the Cuban question properly.
If the situation We're not so criti-
cal, SPANS attempt To make this
country responsible, in the eyes of
Europe, for the presence of our fleet
of warships AT Key West, would be
amusing. As il is. it merely adds an
additional complication to an al
ready much complicated condition
of affairs. President MtKiuley did
not assemble that fleet at Key West
10 please spain, nor did he place the
country on a war footing to please
Spain, and he will not dispense that
fleet orcall a halt in the preparations
for war to please Spain, or any other
European power or powers. He is
preparing to defend our National
honor, against Spain, and against
tile world, II necessary.

The above squib if from the demo-

Does it's editor really think it dis
grace to entertain sentiments in har-
mony with the principles advocated
by Il. NJ. LaFollette? As to the po-
Utica effect, we respectfully refer
the Courier to the record in the state
convention two years ago, when
every vote in the third congressional
district, except the little county OF
Juneau, was cast for the nomination
of Mr. LaFollette for governor Does
the Courier, or any who stand with
it, believe that Mr.. LaFolIette, or the
principles he is an exponent of, have
lost ground in this district, or any
section of it, since the convention Of
two years ago? i so let them apply
the test and they will find out to
