everybody knows, but when they will get it,
or whether the revision will make them better
or worse, Is a horse Of another color. The
Secretary and Assistant Secretary of the In
terrier, and the Commissioner and Assistant
Commissioner of Pensions, have testified be-
fore subcommittee, or The Senate Committee
ON Pensions, that revision of the laws should
be mSde. and recommended that it be done by
non partisan commission. A National Com
mission that is really nCn. partisan, would be 0
rarity, indeed, although there are many So
called.

SCHLEY'S COURT MARTIAL.

From a well-informel correspoI,-
dent we obtain the following: Imme.
diutely on Secretary Longs return
from the West on November 10 he
WAS called on by Admiral Crowniu-
shield, who insisted that a court Of
inquiry or court-martial should be
ordered for Admiral Schley before he
left this country. Mr.. Long was III
formed by the chief of the Bureau OF
Navigation that the Admiral's orders
had been purposely held up until the
Secretary returned, and it was assert
ed that recent newspaper attacks on
the Administration had been inspired
and encouraged by Schley. and es-
pecially those directed against the
Secretary and the Department. Par
ticular attention was drawn to Gen
eral Agnus's recent letter. Other in
stances were shown where, as was al
legged, Admiral Schley had been using
his influence to prompt criticism of
the Administration. Secretary Long
at first was inclined to heed the adj
vice, and was, we are told, about to
proceed to the President with q
suggestion that court be ordered for
Schley. He was persuaded by As
sistant Secretary Allen that the better
policy would be to permit Admiral
Schley to leave. 1t was shown that
political reasons must be considered;
that Schley was very strong with the
public; that q court now would arouge
his friends and make trouble for the
President and result in a discussion
before Congress that would bring the
Navy into an unpleasant position.
There is no doubt that all this trans
pired. We are reliably informed
that no charges are yet on file at the
against Admiral Schley.
We are told, however, that Capt.
Robley d. Evans has drawn charges
against him and has held them
for some time, but so far has not pre-
scented them to the Secretary, though
they have been shown to sympathi-
zers in the attack on Admiral Schley.
1t remains to be seen whether they
will be presented to the Department.

LEGALIzE THE PRIMARIES.

We understand that strong efforts
are being made to defeat the proposed
legislation to legalizs the primaries.
One of the subtifuges being used is
that no law can be passed which
would be constitutional. Another
argument is, that the cumbersome
methods would entail too much ex-
pense. As an answer to the first argu-
ment we can only say that it is simply
ridiculous to say that there can be no
constitutional law enacted to control
this important branch of our election
machinery. Section AZ of Article 3 OF
the constitution expressly says that,
"The General Assembly shall pass
Laws necessary for the preservation
of the purity of Elections" This
should forever put to rest any argu-
ments about such technicalities.
Speaking of technicalities, we should
like to digress for moment and call
attention to the fact that whenever a
person is fairly beaten in any encoun-
ter he will always attempt to entangle
himself by resorting to technicalities.
1t is the expiring death wall of the
worsted combatant.
In regard to the expense of a legal
primary, we would say that it is foi
the purpose of saving money for the
candidates, that the passage of the
act is urged. If bribery and corruption
is prohibited it will then be possible
for poor man to be an aspirant for
political honors. The only expense
he would be subjected to would be to
pay his pro-rata of the cost OF judges,
clerks, etc. Now the way things are
run, he must be man of means to
stand all the levies which are put
upon him. 1t has indeed gotten sc
bad in many cases that more than the
salary of the office sought has to be
expended to gain the prize.
There has not as yet, been one
single convincing argument advanced
against legalizing the primaries, The
people want it. and are going to have
it, and if anyone sets himself up
against the will of the people and
favors illegal primaries he will have te
take the eopsaouences

WASHINGTON, Dec, 4.-Hon. J. u. Richard.
| son, of Tennessee, who received the Democra.
tic nomination for Speaker, after one of the
longest caucuses ever held, got the vote OF
every Democratic member of the House today
He was not, of course, elected; the Republicans
having the most votes, elected Representative
Henderson Speaker, adopted the old Reed
rules, but Mr.. Richardson will be the Demo-
cratic hoor-leader of the House during the life
of the Fifty-Sixth Congress. There may be
more snowy and brilliant men ON the Demo-
cratic side of the House. but that he will make
shrewd and safe leader Is conceded by all.
His shrewdness would have been shown by
the manner in which he conducted his cam
paign for the nomination of Speaker, had it
not been well established long ago. He re-
ceived no warmer congratulations on his sue
cess than those extended by his three rivals for
the honor.
Leaving Roberts and his polygamy entirely
out of the question, the position taken by the
Democrats in the first scrap of the session,
which occurred when objection was raised to
the swearing in of Roberts, that the House
had no right to go behind the official returns
and deny man seat, when he presents
proper credentials, was right, but right can't
win when majority Is determined TO do the
other thing. III Roberts cannot clear himself
of the charge of having violated the law, there
will be few If any, objections on the Demo-
cratic side, to his being denied seat, but it is
wrong to declare him guilty before his case is
fairly investigated.
Mr.. Mckinley's long message,-one of the
longest ever sent to Congress-was not sent in
today, owing to the early adjournment of both
Senate and House as mark of respect to the
late Vice President Hobart. 1t will go in to-
morrow, and then the real business of the
session of Congress will begin. The Demo.
Gratis were never in a more aggressive mood,
and shot times" are ahead for the Republican
majority in both Senate and House.
The attention of Senators is being called to
the fact that Gov. Stone had no constitutional
right to appoint Mr.. Quay to the Senate, after
the legislature adjourned, without electing his
successor. The State Constitution of Pennsyl-
yania, expressly provides that vacancies in
the United States Senate shall only be filled by
the Legislature. A number OF influential
Pennsylvanians are il Washington, working
against the seating of Quay on personal
grounds, against both precedent and law. One
OF these is Representative Sowden, who
said on the subject: 1.-THE question should not
he made u partisan one, but each Senator, re-
CARELESS of his politics or bis perso lal friend
ship for Mr.. Quay, should vote az a conscien-
tious, impartial and upright judge, and de-
eide it according to its merits and the dictates
of his own conscience, under his ofIic oath.
| ( this be done, there can be no question of the
result. Gov. Stones unlawful appointment
has not single merit to support itn

The opening session of the Fifty

The opening session of the Fifty
Sixth Congress commenced on Mon
day. Hon. David B. Henderson, of
Iowa, was elected Speaker to succeed
Mr. Reed. A new leader of the Demo-
cratic party appeared in the person of
Hon. J. d. Richardson, of Tennessee.
Nothing of public interest occurred
aside from the presentation of the
Presidents message with its accom-
paying reports. Col. John Walter
Smith was sworn in as a member from
Maryland, and received hearty con-
CALCULATIONS upon the redemption of
Maryland. The Senate convened with
Senator Frye, of Maine, occupying the
chair of the late Vice President Ho-
bart. Mr.. McComas was recognized
as Junior Senator from Maryland.
