Not Building Extensions.

Not Building Extensions.
People in and around Casper.
Wyc.. continue to discuss the pro-
posed extension of the Elkhorn
system from that city west a dis
tanoe Of 400 miles. The recent
visit to that section by General
Manager Bidwell, Of the Elkhora,
has renewed the discussion, and
it is believed there that the ex-
tension is sure to be built within
a short time, and the project is a
fruitful field for prognostioations
upon the results and benefits to
be derived from the new line. Mr..
Bidwell, however, upon his return
t from the northwes t, gave it out
positively thai Liz .:ia visit there had
no connection with the building
of any new line, and he specifically
mentioned that the road contem-
plated no new extensions at this
time.--Omaha Bee.

Yours Truly.
O. F. Ordway.

McClure's magazine for Feb
ruary opens with q notable poem
by Rudyard Kipling, in which
the "White Man" Enthusiastically
the White Man of United States)
is urged to take up his burden
and go forth and fulfill his divine
Office of master and teacher to his
thew caught sullen peoples, half
devil and half child" Following
this is an interesting account, by
Frank Matthews, of an actual des-
cent in the Holland diving torpedo
boat, illustrated with drawings
from life. Hamlin Garland con-
tributes delightful description
of the daily life of the trail, drawn
from his own close acquaintance
with it; Captain Brady relates
some more good stories from his
own experience as q telegraph
operator and train dispatcher;
and Stephen Crane depicts, in his
own vivid manner some striking
instances of bravery on the part
of mariners to whom it fell at
Guatansmo to signal from shore
to the ships under full exposure
to Spanish sharp-shooters. A
second series of Browere's life
masks of historic Americans is
given. quite as remarkable in the
power and reality of the portrai-
ture as the series that appeared
in McOlure's some months ago.
Miss Tsrbell's "reminiscences and
anecdotes of Lincoln in all the
complexity and panic of the out
break of the war; F. w. Harden's
character sketch of Dewey at Ma
Mia, giving his own observations
and personal impressions; and
Captain Mahan's account and es-
innate of Admiral Cervera'smove-
ments in the recent war, are both
entertaining and valuable. There
are also three excellent short
stories, one of them q story Of
American political life by new
writer. and one a vigorous, joyous
tale in Kipling's series Of stories
Of school boy life.

Election Of o. 8. Senators.

Election Of q. 8. Senators.
II any additional argument is
necessary to prove the demand in
favor of the election of United
States Senators by adirect vote Of
the people, that argument is being
furnished by the action Of many
of the candidates and the action
Of the state legislatures. Let all
those who still cling to the old
Federal idea that all the wisdom
in the world is confined to the se-
lect few, turn their gaze toward
the legislatures of several of the
States and blush for the lost hon.
or and integrity Of the men who
have been selected to make the
laws for the nation. It is no lon
ger question Of learning, ability,
experience, or honor, but rather,
what is the candidate worth-how
much cold cash can be pumped
out of the candidate for votes, and
will he, when elected, be faithful
to the trusts and combines who
furnish the sinews of war to carry
elections? We are sorry to know
that this disgraceful work is not
confined to any particular party,
but that it has become part OF
all party machinery, and is a dan
gerous menace to the stability and
perpetuity of republican goven-
ment; the Senate of the United
States is no longer q representa-
tive body, but merely q body Of
wealthy men who are able to buy
q seat in that once distinguished
body of men. The days of great
men in the Senate have passsd
away-no Clay, Webster, Thur
man, Calhoun, Cass, Critenden,
and long line of names that once
frightened the page of American
history are now there, but in their
place we have the Quay's, Elkin's,
Hanna's, and theirclass who stand
for corruption, and in Hanna we
behold the degeneracy Of the great
state of Ohio, once represented by
Chase, Pendleton, Sherman, Thur
man, and other great men, but
now alas, her greatness has de-
parted, and Hanna holds the seat
once honored by Salman P. Chase!
But we may be told that the
same methods might obtain if the
election should be by a direct vote
Of the people, This, in part, may
be true, but it is much easier to
corrupt few members Of the
State Legislatures than it would
be to corrupt the entire, OF even
a majority of the voters thereof,
and the people would be more apt
to demand honest, able men for
position than would the members
of the legislature who are subject
to temptation.
Some method must be devised
to redeem the character of the q.
s. Senate, to take it out of the
hands of the corruptionist, or final
destruction of that body is certain.
It is fast becoming a hiss and a
by-word among all civilized ma.
tions, and the title of United States
Senator is no longer considered
the highest title to be conferred
upon an American citizen.
Let the Senators be elected by
q direct vote Of the people, and We
may hope to see the glory of the
past return to the nation, and the
good name of United States Sena.
tor become, as in the past, the
pride of the nation, and to be hon
ored by the nations of the earth.
The change to q direct vote can
do no harm, but may do great
good, and if it does, the whole PEG.
pie will be benefited, and no polit.
ical party Gould suffer by such q
change.
