LET US BE JOYFUL.

The Baltimore Sun has n very anus
inG criticism on Max O'ReIl's article on
cheerfulness in the North American
Rcview,-itself doing precisely what It
charges Max will improperly doing. The
Sun arraigns him for finding fault with
the entire social fabric and desiring TO
knock 1t all to pieces and reconstruct it
on his own plan. But what does the
Sun do? Read:
"If man does his duty in that state
of life unto which it has pleased God to
call him. il lie is kind and affcctlonate
to his family and considerable of all. if
he is helpful to those around him, faith
fully performing his daily tasks. and
finally if he keeps his liver in reason
ably good condition and does not over
charge his system with food and drink.
that man is very apt to be cheerful,
whether he is rich or Door"
But how is even one man to be so re-
formed and transformed. from an i'm
perfect wretch to perfect saint? 1t
is miracle beyond any yet recorded
as having been done, and beside which
Max O'Relrs projects are mere child.s
play.
Not content with that bit of comedy
the Sun proceeds to brood fence thus:
st. Paul solved the problem of cheer
tulncss. and he gives the solution more
completely In less than two lines than
Max O'Rell can give it in n magazine
article. or volume. or "a whole shelf
of books Il have learned wrote St
Paul. i'm whatsoever state am. there
with to be content That is the whole
thing"
Yes: it is the whole thing: be cheer
full: be happy! But St. Paul had
learned" how,-and the Sun neglects
to tell us how. Ye; it is just such dis
quisitions that promote the gayety of
nations and the laughter of gods and
men.

FOR AMERICAN LIBERTYI


On the rule OF the great and good
men OF England. who opposed the i'm
perial policy of the Tories in these
American colonies. and who afterwards
as holly opposed and denounced the
cruel and wicked war waged against
us to enforce tyranny here. are some
many-of the ablest and most nlustri-
GUS names-an tho more illustrious in
England to-day, as we'll as here, by rea-
son OF their noble stand in behalf of
English liberty and common right, and
humanity, and against their violation
in America.
SO will the names of our patriots
shine bright and glorious, who now
stand boldly forth in behalf of Ameri-
can liberty and common right and hu-
mainly in the Philippines. and against
the cruel tyranny which violates them
there; while the promoters of this war
on American glory and freedom will
as we'll as on the rights of men as rep
resented by the Philippines, will be lost
in plying oblivion, or remembered onl;-
for the ignominy and shame Of their
conduct.
If British patriotism in 1776 bravely
defended our course and reprobated the
Tory outrages upon US, how much moro
blavely should American patriots in
1899 oppose and rebuke the imperial
atrocities committed against the Phil
ppinos by this treacherous administra-
ton.
The original thirteen colonies that re-
volted from England and established
this Federal Republic were discovered,
settled, nourished and developed by
England, under English laws and pro-
lection. Yet VIC declared our freedom
and independence of her, and maintain
Ell our revolt by an eight-years' war.
Have we the slightest pretensions to
govern the Philippines. compared with
England's real and established and
agreed claims to rule us? Had Eng
land ever attempted to treat us as We
have treated the Philippines? Yet Eng
land was n monarchy, not founded up
on our American doctrine of popular
power and the necessary consent Of
the governed See now the base figure
we cut at Manila!
Where. like an angry ape,
Drest in little brief authority.
We play such fantastic tricks before
high heaven
AS make the angels weep."

CALL NO CONVENTION.

Prudence in politics and State-craft
plainly dictates that resort to con-
vention of party or people should
be reserved for supreme and absolutely
necessary occasions, and that a body
so unlimited in power. so irresponsible
in the exercise of 1t. and so prone in
human nature to exhibit it, is too dan
Eerous to be convolled for ordinary pur-
poses, or to accomplish anything which
may be safely done by other and or
binary means already provided. If
Louis XVI, of France, had not called
q convention. but had proceeded to
make reforms by means already In his
hands, or easily within his reach, he
and his family would not have been
butchered, the terrible French Revolu-
ton would never have occurred, with
1t tremendous results. and all the good
that issued from these might have been
attained peacefully, without the awful
accompaniment that detracted SO
much from 1t and threw SO much re-
proach upon even the name of liberty.
We have no such dangers here and
now to confront: but it is with pro-
found regret and serious apprehension
that THE VIRGINIAN-PILOT sees 1t
stated as a settled fact that the lead
ing promoters and managers of the
Democratic conference to assemble In
Richmond on May 10th. intend to urge
that body to pronounce in favor of
State convention. to be called this year,
to nominate n u. S. Senator for the
General Assembly ito choose, for
that is the word used by the Federal
constitution 10 describe the power now
vested by it in the legislatures of the
States respectively, and which is the
Suprenn- Law of Tie land until thai
constitution be amended While this
is a very questionable proceeding in ad-
vance of the proposed amendment,
there can be no people who nominate
and elect a legislator to request or in
struct him, as their representative. how
he shall exercise the authority they
give him, not only as to u. S. Senators,
but in all matters within his represent
alive power.

But il is certain hat If the State
Democratic Committee, on the request
of the May conference, call this pro-
posed convention. it will not conhnc it
self simply 20 this Choosing" but will
wander. at VIII. to any and all mat
tiers, with full powers to act or declare.
is il prudent. just at this moment to
give opportunity, prematurely. to all
the elements of discord TO break forth,
when that opportunity Will come carly
enough in the state convention we shall
be obliged to hold next year, in rela-
ton to the Presidential national con-
vcntion, the nomination of Presidential
Electors. and other subjects in connec-
ton with the campaign and election?
Gus convention now, when we shah
have 20 nave one next year, anyhow?
HOW EAGERLY WILL THE SENA-
TORIAL DIFFERENCES BE EN-
PLOYED TO HELP THE ANTI
BRYAN ELEMENTS? And we may
be sure that they would make ali the
mischief they could in the convention,
IL they could not control it. AS A DIS
SION-BREEDER, the convention
is sure to be a success; and to call it
this year will be a blunder of the GRIM
1nal degree,-for If anybody cannot see
how perilous 1t will be. II is because he
will not see.
We hope 1t Is not true that the lead
ers in this u S. Senatorial election-re-
form movement will insist, in advance
of the actual amendment of the Con-
stitution, upon the nomination of any
u. S. Senator by party convention; IL
1t be true, we trust that theNconference

THE APPOINTMENT OF U. S.
SENATOR'S.

Among Legislative powers, that of the
definition Of words Except q few tech
nical ones) is not enumerated. That is a
function assumed by the judiciary:
though an honest court will recognize
that in the exercise of this function it
is to be guided Except in legal terms
and some few othcrs) by the signifi-
canoe given the words by the people, in
general use-of course, excluding their
misuse by ignorance. or local custom
Nor are legislative bodies very reliable
as deiiners of words, because they are
also political. and, often, partizan bod
les. prone to construe language TO suit
themselves.
This accounts for still undecided
powers OF the Governdr of q State to fill
n vacancy OF his States representation
in the u. s. Senate by appointment.
The Senate. as constitutional Judge of
the election, appointment and qualiiica-
ton of its members, has given de-
cisions every way, expanding or con-
tracing n Governors powers to ap-
point TO Senatorial vacancies. so as to
afford precedents to suit all require
ments and wishes.
The point now raised by Governor
Stones appointment of Mr. Quay is
this; rs vacancy happening by rea-
son of the failure of II legislature TO
choose II. S. Senator, such a vacancy
as the Governor is authorized to fill by
appointments" The response given by
The Constitution of the United States
is as follows: IF vacancies happen" Din
the Senate) by resignation, or other
wise, during the recess of the lcgisla-
ture of any State. the executive thereof
may make temporary appointments un-
til the next meeting of the legislature.
which shall then fll such vacancies"
a vacancy must exist, to empower the
Governor TO act, and this vacancy must
have happened during the recess OF
the legislature" But this vacancy hap
pened during the session of the Penn
sylvania legislature. at u NJ, on March
Attn, 1899. when Mr. Quay's term expir-
ed,-if that which is prescribed and fix
ed at n certain time to occur, and does
SO occur, can be said to have hap
pened'-it being held that the word can
oliiS NC dPpil'u properly 10 unforeseen
events or contingencies. But, admitting
that 1t did happen at the date prescrib-
ed by law. can it have happened again
through the failure of the legislature OF
Pennsylvania TO elect Il Sena tor? If so.
1t happens this time during the recess
of the legislature"
Our own view is that a strict con-
struction OF the words of the constitu-
tion fixes the character of this Pennsyl-
vania vacancy as one occurring during
the session of the legislature-as that
is the fact-;tnd not as a vacancy hap
pening during the recess of the legisla-
ture. Yet. as The vacancy continues to
exist during the Legislative recess. there
is abundance OF legal construction to
warrant the holding that 1t happens
every day of its existence. However
that may be. we think 1t desirable for
the States that the Senate, if possible,
should settle the rule positively, one
way or the other, forever.
