This appointment defeats James NJ
Simpson of Mcpherson, who wanted to

that he will name Judge Charles B.

possibilities, but it is believed that
Graves will be the man, provided he will
accept the place.

ulator of immense wealth. who lives in
New York city, where he is about to
build a palace, and one of the orna-
ments of the picture gallery VIII be
painting for which he paid .s42, 900 a. few
months ago. In the final roundup
eleven Republicans betrayed their party
and abandoned its candidate without
compensation. Had Clarke been a miner
with pick instead of a mining Croesus,
would he hold the credentials as senator
from Montana?
After a long, unseemly wrangle, with
much recrimination, the legislature of
Utah has adjourned without electing a
senator, depriving the Democrats OF a
vote.
The legislature of California had a
still more disgraceful session, in which
the corrupt use of money was openly
exposed, and has adjourned, leaving a
vacancy, which is a Republican loss
THE CASE OF QUAY.
In Pennsylvania, the second state in
the Union, with a legislature Republi-
can, months have been wasted in most
degrading wrangle between Quay and
deadlock, with humiliating investiga-
tions rejecting upon the honor and in
tegrity of the whole commonwealth.
Meanwhile the term has expired, and
Pennsylvania has but one senator.
In Kentucky two years ago the fight
over Blackburn'S successor came near
precipitating a civil war and ended in
a diScreditable compromise.
George H. Pendleton was a. candidate
for reelection in 1885, and the undoubt-
ed choice of the Democracy of Ohio for
the succession. He was defeated by
Henry B. Payne; everybody knows how.
Another phenomenon in the same
state was the election of Calvin S. Brice
to the senate. He was practically a
resident of New York. He had no train
ing in public affairs. During the six
years of his incumbency he was as dumb
as the sheep before the shearers, and
opened not his mouth. But he was a
practical business man, a ''fxer," and
he fixed the Ohio legislature with the
ployed in fixing boards of railroad direc-
tors. The people of Ohio were not con-
suited. The performance was a Sardonic
travesty on representative self govern
ment.
When the state was organized in 1889,
ten states were represented by 20 SEN
ators. In 1903 Tucker said in debate
that the number would probably never
exceed so. There are now 80 senators
from As states, with New Mexico, Ari-
zona, Oklahoma, the Indian Territory,
Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Phil
ippines in posse.
TIME FOR A CHANGE.
The time has come for the people to
resume their power. There is no reason
why senators should not be chosen, as
plurality vote at the polls, at the gen.
eral election in November preceding the
expiration of the term. There would
then be no deadiocks, no futile sessions
wasted and factional fights, no whole
sale corruption, no dark horses, no
tOngue-tied mOnOpolistS in the seats of
the mighty.

Danubian shipments were 1,116O0o bushels,
showing large increase. Worlds ship

OATS-Oats have been active, rather
weak for May but strong for July. The

Provision stocks proved somewhat less
than expected, but not enough to be Of
