THE OHIO SENATORIAL CONTEST

Today the Ohio legislature votes for
a United States senator. It is not ex-
pected that any choice will be made;
in fact, one may not be for some days.
This Ohio senatorial contest raises
various questions connected with the
election of senators. First, whether it
would rot be best to elect senators by
direct vote of the people, a perennial
question. Then comes the question as
to what the trainers of the constitution
intended. No doubt they thought they
senators of the most eminent citizens of
the various states, just as they thought
the same thing when they provided an
electoral college for the election of a
president and vice president. The cleo
toral college has become a mere ma
chine to register the will of the voters,
and has no choice whatever in the mat
ter Of saying who shall and who shall
not be voted for for president and vice
president. But this is not the case
with the state legislatures. They elect
the senators, though the party in the
majority makes it's selection from
among its ranks; nothing else could be
expected. From a utopian standpoint,
senators and presidents, in fact all pub
lie officials, should be chosen from
among the states or nations most emf
rent citizens: but things are not done
in this country from the utopian stand
point. With the exception of Wash
ington, this country has never had
president who was not a partisan, and
it never will. So long as this country
has representative government it will
have parties, and they will choose from
among them those whom they want to
represent them in state or nation; this
is inevitable. so long as parties have
policies.
Ohio today is Republican, and it's
represents its people. If the
elects Hanna to the senate.
he will be fit representative of the
state; and senators are elected to rep
resent states. He can never be so dis !
tinguished as the senator whose seat !
made vacant by resignation, he was ap-
pointed to fill, but he will very well rep
resent the great state of Ohio if elect |
ed, for Ohio has been thoroughly Han |

THE CRIME OF LYNcHING.

To protest and condemn lynchings
has come to seem almost as useless a
task as that of Mrs. Darlington, when
she tried to mop up the sea. Protes-
tation and condemnation may be use
less and seem to have no effect, but
it still remains the duty of every paper
in the land to protest against a crime
that is common in our land, and a blot
upon our civilization. 1t is often urged
in extenuation of lynching that the law
cannot be relied upon to punish GRIM
inals and terrify would-be evil doors.
But what plea shall be made in extern
uation of the burning and torturing of
men accused of crime like the two

aid? Whatever may have been the
crime of the Indians it could not have
been worse than. that committed by
their torturers. They were very devils

because of their crimes, but to glut a

WHAT UTAH NEEDS

Under the above heading the News
of last evening, in an article more than
column in length, discussed the sit
uation in the state from the standpoint
that the Mormon church and it's lead
ers, their aims and intentions, are con-
stantly misrepresented, and that this
misrepresentation is a great detriment
to the state. At the close of its article
it said:
The preachers, some of the politi-
clans, and part of the political press,
here in Utah, are the agencies chiefly
responsible for the conditions that so
urgently demand reform; and to the
last named of the trio belongs the chief
measure of guilt because the other two
draw from it their information and
inspiration. When the political papers
of the state cease playing the part of
Iago, the desired reform will easily be
accomplished.
We do not propose to take this up
and discuss it in any captious or fault
finding spirit. So far as the tenets and
doctrines of the Mormon church are
concerned, they stand, so far as The
Herald is concerned, on precisely the
SAINT leNel DIS lnOSc VI OH OIneT
churches. Very naturally, religious
zealots of different faiths dislike them
very much, and. may misrepresent
them, for it must be remembered that
religious denominations have no char
ity for each other; each is the others
meat.
Now as to the alleged misrepresenta-
ton of the Mormon church by the po-
litical press. Does it really exist? If
it does, it will be found not to be in
territorial. Is not the church itself
chiefly responsible for this misrepre-
sentation, if Misrepresentation it be? !

CHANDLER DEFINES M'KIN
LEY'S SILVER ATTITUDE.

1t is only short time since Senator
Chandler issued a long document in
which he warned his party to beware of
its attitude on the silver question. 1t
did net cause much alarm, and the Re
publican party did not change front on
the financial question. But it seems to
nave served one purpose-that of bring
ing about q conference between HIM
self and the president on the question
of bimetallism. This conference took
place yesterday, and at the end of it
the senator expressed himself in this
language:
The president stands firmly in favor
of international bimetallism, as prom
ised by the ST Louis platform. He con-
siders the negotiations with the Euro
pean powers only temporarily suspend
ed on account of the peculiar conditions
of affairs in India, and it is the presi-
dents intention to again send his en-
voys to Europe as soon as the condi-
tons are favorable for continuing ne
gotiations.
That, of course is Senator Chand-
lers declaration of the presidents atti-
tude towards International bimetallism,
and not the presidents; but if the
president is accurately reported, his be-
lief that there is a possibility for secur-
ing an international agreement in re-
gard to bimetallism, shows that he is
far more childlike and bland than All
Sing himself
oh = =. Z,
as this of Senator Chand-
ler's. 1t assumes that the people
haven't enough sense to come in when
it rains. The American people know
just as well as Secretary Gage that this
administration is for the single gold
standard, and that it will do all in its
power TO strengthen that standard.
Secretary Gage neither deceives him
self on this proposition nor attempts
to deceive anyone else. The president
either deceives himself or else seeks to
deceive others.
But all friends of silver will be glad /
hat the president pursues the course /
he does. Were he to come out /
straight and strong for the gold stand /
ard, become an aggressive champion of I
t, he would rally around him all the /
sound money men and would perma- /
lently attach to his standard many +
Republicans. Perhaps as
many, if not more, people are swayed

position than by the arguments in ia

Of President Woodruff the Mormon
church was placed in any false light, it
was he who placed it there, and not
the political press of the state.
During the recent school campaign
teacher was suspended by his bishop
because he urged voters to vote a tick
ct that was not favored by the bishop.
The teacher removed made affidavits
to the facts, but the bishop made no
counter affidavit. The facts were pub
hshed in the political press, but the
political press was in no wise respon-
sible for them.
Isn't portion of the religious press
quite as responsible for the conditions
which our evening contemporary says
so urgently demand reform" as the
political press? 1t will usually be
found that where the line of demarc-
alton between church and state is
crossed, that the trespass comes from
the religious side.

TALES OF THE DAY.
The Price of Wolf scalps.

New York Post: Another curious cir
cumstance was noticed by the officers of
two counties adjoining in central Kansas
last winter. The officers of one were
paying out money every day for wolf
scalDs, while the other seldom had any
demands for the reward. Each of the
hunters was compelled to swear that he
had killed the wolf inside the boundaries
OF the county where the scalp was pre-
sented. and there was no reason for
doubling the truth of the testimony. But
what could be the reason of the disparity
OF claims? One day a settlers son was
questioned
Where did you kill this wolff"
Down near the edge of the county,"
Are coyotes very thick there?"
We'll. rather: though not so thick as
they are farther south"
over in the other county?"
Yes. there are more there"
But they do not kill any there. Why
is it,"
THE other county only pays 81 for
scalDs, and this pays 81. So we drive
them over the line before we shoot them"
