Two events, occurring simultaneously in
different parts Of the country, illustrate the
change which has marked lately the meth
DDS Of electng United States Senator's SEN
ator HARRIS, Populist, of Kansas, who is n
native-born Nirginian, has given formal
notice of his intention to offer in the next
Congress an amendment to the Consti-
tuition for the election of Senators by pop
ular vote hcnccforth instead of by the vote
OF Legislatures. The Democratic County
Committee OF Culpeprr, Virginia, has been
exacting an agreeglent between the two
rival Democratic candidates for United
States Senator, MARTIN, now senator, and
TYLER now Governor, not to use any
money in promotion Of their election in this
years Virginia campaign.
Tho Culpcper plan is unobiectionable, and
there seems to be 10 reason why it should
not be complied with, for the contest turns
on political grounds of difference in which
the people of the State take an absorbing
interest. The Kansas plan, however, pro-
poses radical innovation in our funda-
mental system, for which there is no iusti-
hcation in the actual political situation. 1t
would open the way logically to a further
institution by Constitutional amendment
changing the method OF the election of the
President and Vicc-Prcsident, for which
there IL no Just reason and no considerable
popular demand. The only reason assigned
for the proposed change in the matter of
electing Senators is that it would diminish
the opportunities for the corrupt use of
money by candidates or their friends. but
the extent to which the evil exists Is
exaggerated vastly and it would not be
overcome by the new method

A Flag and Nothing Else.

The first anniversary OF the raising OF
OF tho American flag in Hawaii occurred
on August r. Annexation Day was cele-
bratcd with varied emotions by the people
OF those American islands.
Apparently tho year has been a pros
porous one in business way for the
Hawaiinns. This has served in some de-
gree to divert attention from the anomalous
political situation.
Everybody, OF course, accepts as final
the disposition of Hawaiis future which
the events Of year ago decided. We find
even the Honolulu Independent, the organ
OF the Royalst and native Hawaiian party
admitting this frankly:
Nothing. save the ever unexpected. can change
fate now aud certainly tho best flag Of the bunch
Of alien banners floats U.S. and the very one
OF which should have felt the proudost satisfhc-
ton in possessing a. our own had annexation been
accomplished in AN honorable manner, and with the
full and free consent OF the people. Let all
who can rejoice aud will sympsthize with them.
When an American form OF government has owed
the nag. then also will rejoice and celebrate but
until then the Fourth OF July is enough for u.s."
Here, then. is the organ OF the old royal
lists and nativists accepting the situation
% far as tho flag is concerned, but COM
planning that the flag is the only American
institution they are yet favored with.
The earliest and flrmest friends OF annex
alton are making practically tho same
complaint. Their opinions and desires
were well represented by the letter in which
the Hon. FRANCIS NJ. HATCH recently
pointed out the amazing features OF the
situation disclosed by the recent decisions
OF the Supreme Court of Hawaii that parts
OF the Constitution of the United States
are not effective in Hawaii.
These Americans are actually living I'M
der two Constitutions, the old Hawaiian
Constitution Of a defunct Republic, and tho
Constitution which prevails everywhere
else on American territory. As reasonable
and logical beings they demand that they
shall have either one Constitution or
the other. As patriotic American citizens
they demand that the Constitution they
shall have shall be that of the United States,
hot that of the dead Hawaiian Republic.
Thus FAY" says the Erening Bulletin of
Honolulu, Hawaii has received nothing but
The flag" That somewhat bitter phrase
tells the exact truth.
The tranquil and perfectly contented
Americans in Hawaii are the members OF
the Dole Government who continue to hold
Office and draw salaries under the Hawaiian
Constitution and laws; and tho citizens
whose selfish business interests are pro-
NOTED by the continuance of this anom-
alous state Of affairs. They are in no
hurry for tho further Americanization OF the
islands Tho mere presence of the flag
Is quito enough for them; they would prob
ably be satisfied To postpone indefinitely
the arrival of any other sign or incident
OF American sovereignty.
Such is the situation in Hawaii one full
year after annexation. The question OF its
indefinite continuance will be decided not
at Honolulu but at Washington.

What a Singular Suggestion

The subjoined letter is from an esteemed

the Democratic party and bring it into power in
1900? "ALvAH PEABODY"
We will say frankly that ALvAHs first
question does not Seem to us to possess
contemporaneous human interest.
The second conundrum, however, with
its implied proposition, deserves place on
account of its naive originality if not on
account of political Thickness.
Suppose that ALvAH asks the Hon.
WILLIAM j. BRYAN, or the Hon. WILLIAM
j. STONE, or the Hon. ARTHUR p. GoRMAN,
or the Hon. RICHARD CROKER, or the Hon
ALMOST ANYBODY within the ranks of what
is now called the Democratic party of the
United States, if it is not fact that the
Hon. GROVER CLEVELAND is the only man
who can lead the Democracy to victory
next year!
Or let us suppose that ALvAH goes before
n fully representative gathering OF all the
factions now constituting the Democracy
and points to Mr.. CLEVELAND as the only
man who can unite the party.
The measure of the enthusiasm with
which his suggestion would be received
would be all the answer ALvAH really needs.

and the competition OF sheep on the same
ranges. The past winter was unusually
long and Indictment and many OF the cattle
died because feed was scarce.
Meanwhile both the home and foreign
demand is increasing Belgium, for exam-
pie, with its vast population OF working
people, has found it necessary at last to
annul Its restrictions upon the import OF
American meat; and even in Germany, In
spite Of all the efforts Of agrarian and other
influences to exclude American meats, the
trade in our beef and other meat products
Is enormous and steadily increasing be-
cause they are highly desirable and the
home supply is wholly inadequate to meet
the demand.
Thus, with a growing demand at homo
and abroad for our beef and supply which,
temporarily, is not quite adequate, the
meat producers at the great western CEN
tres of the packing trade are now compelled
to pay from one cent to one cent and half
pound more for live cattle than they paid
a year ago. This means that they are pay
ing from two to two and half cents a
pound more for carcass beef. An increase
in their selling price was inevitable II the
prices they charged consumers, before the
rise in the value OF cattle, were fair.
There is no danger that the present stu
alton will long continue. The laws OF trade
will hold their way, and II the supply Of
cattle is inadequate 1t will be increased. AS
surely as water seeks its level the equilib-
rum between supply and demand will be
restored. We cannot now foresee the time
when our meats are likely to go begging in
glutted markets or be insufficient in guam
tity for any long period.
Our range industry to-day Is crudely and
wastefuly managed and is capable Of vast
development Some writer's on agricul-
ture are emphasizing the need Of giving
greater attention to live stock and Of plough
ing less and grazing more. II there Is ever
need for it, many thousands of farmers
who used to fatten half dozen bullocks or
So for the market every year will be i'm
PEELED by self-interest to resume this bust
ness, which they abandoned when the range
