The Senator and His State.

The proposition in the New York Assem-
bly, that Senator MURPHY, having mlsrepre-
sentcd the Empire State when he voted
with his Democratic colleagues for the
Teller resolution, ought to resign, finds
its authority in the fact that in 1896 New
York condemned the party of Senator MUIR
Ply by a majority of a quarter Of a million
votes, and, by way Of further emphasis,
replaced HILL with PLAT.
= For a superficial answer to this Senator
MURPHY has to thank the Low-Strong.
Brookfield boilers, through whose machi-
nations last year New York was turned
over to the Bryanites. 1t happens even
that Assemblyman JOHN A. WEEKEs. the
author of the Murphy resolution, himself
contributed to the Republican rout as u
Citizens Unionist.
Senator MURPHY, however, stands on
more solid ground than the freaks Of Mug
wumpery. Legislatures may fill seats in the
Senate, but they cannot vacate them.
Moreover, when LAFAYETTE, as q member
of the Chamber of Deputies, was worried
by the receipt of unwelcome Instructions
from the Mobiles Of Auvergne, he received
advice from JEFFERSON, recorded here In a
note from JEFFERSON to WAsHINGToN:
"I have not hesItated to press on him GATArErrE)
TO burn his instructions and to follow his conscience
a. the one sure clue which will eternally guide Q man
clear ,r all doubt and inconsistency"
WEBSTER, In his famous speech In the
Senate on March z, 1850, practically af-
firmed the Jeffersonian doctrine:
..If there be any matter pending in this body. whilo
lam a member OF II, in which Massachusetts, has an
Interest OF her own not adverse 70 the general IN
ferests OF the country. I shall pursue her Instructions
with gladness of heart and with all the eficiency
which I can bring 20 the occasion. But II the ques-
ton be one which affects her interests. and At the
same time equally Affects the interests Of all the other
states. I shall no moro regard her particular
wishes or instructions than I should regard the
wishes of q man who might appoint mo
an arbitrator VI referee to decide some Ques.
zion OF important private right between him
and his %neighbor. and then instruct me to decide In
bis favor. II ever there was o Government upon
earth II is this Government, II ever there was q body
upon earth It Is this body. which should consider
itself as composed by agreement OF all. each member
appointed by some. but organized by the general con.
sent OF all, sitting here. under the solemn obligations
OF oath and conscience. to do that which they think to
be best for the good OF the whole"
Senator LAMAR, a quarter Of a century
later, refused to obey. the instructions of
the Legislature of Mississippi to vote for a
free silver coinage bill.
None the less, the Murphy resolution is a
timely expression of the sentiment of New
York upon the most important question of
the day. Let it pass by all means, and then
let every sound-money man turn to the
practical work of carrying the Empire
State Senate next fall for the party of
honest money with the majority of 1896.

The Immortal williams.

The mastery leadership of the Hon.
GEORGE FRED WILLIAMS is doing wonders
In the Massachusetts Democracy. Twenty
one members of the Democratic State Com
mittee, representing the Cooke faction"
met last week to pay their respects to the
Dedham chief. The Cooke faction is united
in the opinion of Mr.. WILLIAMS, but is
otherwise divided into two factions, one of
which wants an independent party at once,
while the other wants to wait and over.
throw the Williamsites at the mex meet
ing of the State Committee.
The speeches made by various members
of the twenty.one were full of matter to
collectors of Williamsiana. The Hon. JOHN
BRYANT of Fairhaven, "a Jacksonian who
has represented New Bedford In the State
Committee for many years." is described as
"red hot" in his "d"enunciation of the
tyranny of Mr.. WILLIAMS dictatorship"
Mr.. BRYANT must nov very we'll that no.
body has raised more voices against tyranny
than Mr.. WILLIAMS has. Is 1t credible that
the man who nearly put out the stars by
his tempestuous combinations of the ty-
ranny of capital, the tyranny Of the money
power, the tyranny of trusts, the tyranny of
corporations, has become a tyrant HIMSELF
And what did Mr.. BRYANT mean when
he said that Mr.. WILLIAMS chad been
running the party with an iron hand, from
Cape Cod to the Berkshires, for two years
and had made a rank failure OF itT Mr..
WILLIAMS belongs to the brazen, not the
iron, age. and in his bright lexicon there is
no such word as fail. Did he fail when he
tried to make the Hon. ROGER QUARLEs
MILLS Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives2 Did he fail when he tried to nomi.
nate himself Vice-Presiden at Chicago in
1s962 Did he fail when he set out to
carry Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts
In that same yearf The Hon. GEORGE FRED
WILLIAMS never fails. He succumbs to
circumstances
Mr.. RoURKE Of Worcester declared his
willingness to do his share for "WILLIAMs's
total humiliation" The impetuous RoURKE
should block himself and think a while. II
Mr.. WILLIAMS could be aDnihilated, what
would there be left
Mr.. GEORGE MCLAUaHLIN evoked loud
laughter by his statement that his personal
relations with Mr.. WILLIAMS were still
quite cordial, Notwithstanding the fact
that Mr.. WILLIAMS had offered $50 out OF
his pocketbook to secure the speakers

Whereupon he proceeded to argue that ques-

"when they Ithe high priestsl speak. they Lie.

In spite Of tho influence of Gen. LEW WAL

OF course, Herr Won Hoist of Chicago,
an imported Mugwump Of a fervor equal to that
of the homegrown article, objects to the an
nexation of Hawaii. His arguments are usually
curious, and one of his arguments against
hawaiian annexation is especially curious, al
though surcharged with the genuine Mugwump
spirit. He admits that annexation is popular,
but asserts that popularity is an unsafe guide
and not 1.-The test Of right and wrong" 1t
would BIO useless to scurry after Herr Won
Hoist as he lodges around the corner, trying
to fly from politics into transcendental ethics.
But by popularity he means nothing less than
the rule OF the majority, the only way Of settling
a political question in the United States. Ho
admits, then, that the majority of the people
favor annexation. What more needs to be said .

Wealth and Presbyterianism.

The congregation of the Fifth Avenue
Presbyterian Church will hold a meeting
tonight to receive the report of the COM
to withdraw his resignation as pastor. The
church session, or Elders, under pressure
from whom DIR. HALL had resigned, have
shown a disposition, however, to attach a
string to this withdrawal by requiring him
to set a precise time in the future when he
will retire from the pastorship. If the
spirit of this evenings meeting is like that
Of the meeting at which the congregation
unanimously besought him to withdraw
his resignation, 1t will consent to nothing
of the sort.
The imposition of such a condition would
seem To be almost of the nature of an insult
to DR.. HALL. 1t would be substantially a
notice to him that the Fifth Avenue Pres
byterian Church was willing to tolerate him
as pastor a little longer, but required that
the term of their trial should be defined. 1t
is hardly possible that the congregation who
has stood so solidly by DR., HALL would
subject him to any such indignity.
1t is said, and 1t seems probable, that the
indefinite continuance of DIR. HAL as pas
tor will cause the withdrawal from the
church of several members of the session.
With them and the members of the church
they might draw away with them would
depart much material wealth, however 1t
may be with the treasures which are laid up
in heaven; and consequently the church
might undergo an important change so far
as concerns it's worldly prosperity.
The Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church,
throughout the thirty years of DR.. HALLS
passionate, has been the richest of the Pres
byterian churches In this country. II not in
in the world. At one time its eligible pews
were sold at prices equal to the cost of a
very considerable house, and the salary of
DIR. HALL was among the greatest ever paid
to a Christian minister. This wealth, how
ever, has brought with 1t to its possessors
an appetite for the gayeties of life pur-
chasable by the very rich only. The some

| Formerly Presbyterians frowned on the

creed In the Westminster Confession,
which debarred them from many of the
worldly pleasures within the reach of
wealth. Accordingly, Is their faith de.

Why the Price of Corn Is Low.

In the February number of the Forum
Mr.. G. WooD DAVIS, the ~well-known In
vestigator of the relations of food bearing
acres TO the worlds bread eating popula.
tion, undertakes to show why the price of
Indian corn or maize Is low, while that of
wheat is high. He attributes the phenom-
enon not, as the Populists do, to the de.
cline in the value of silver, but to the sub
stitution of lard made from cottonseed
oil for the genuine product Of the hog and
the use of c~ottonseed meal for fodder.
In one of the tables prepared by Mr..
DAVIS the fact Is brought out that, during
the ten years ending In 1887, the aver.
age farm value of corn per bushel was
AQ.5 cents; during the ten years end.
ing in 1897 it was only 1877 cents, this
too, although the exports Of corn either in
the primary form of grain or in the second
airy forms of beef, pork, mutton, lard, spir.
fits, butter, ana cheese, have increased more
than AZ per cent. Will it be said that the
decline in price is applicable by a great In.
crease in the production of the cereal2 Mr..
DAVIS points out that, as a matter of fact,
we produce relatively less maize then we
did ten years ago. The acreage under
maize has been, since 1887, only 1913 per
cent. larger than it was in the preceding
ten years, whereas our population has in
creased some 20, 600, 900 since 1882. The
truth is hat we onsume less maize han
yre did formerly. Our domestic consump.
ton of maize during the ten years ending
with 1887 equalled 26.7 bushels per head
of the population; since 1887 ii has fallen
TO IN annual average of 1877 bushels. How
Is this diminished consumption to be &C.
counted fort If reliance can be placed
on the estimates made by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, there has been, since
1882, a decrease of 100000, or nearly
one-tenth, in the number of swine, although
during the sam period the number of
human beings In the United States has in.
creased by some 2O,OOO,OOO. Had swine
increased in the same ratio as population,
we should have had more than go, 600, 900
In January, 1897, instead of the 10000
900 shown by the Department of Agrlcul-
ture. Had the number even continued to
