Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1899-03-30
WOODBURY. N. J, THURSDAY, MARCH 90 1899

iean for United States senator, but tie
one exceptional member Of the leeisla-
ture may be corrupt and may be hired
by B. to vote for him and to absolutely
refuse to vote for A. or for anybody
else. Then one of two things ensues
"a The honest Republicans are driven
into voting for b. or ~ an unbreak-
able deadlock ensues and no senator is
elected. OF course it is an extreme case
where only one corrupt member Of a
state Legislature can control the situa-
tion, but it can lie done Two or three
or half dozen could do it more easily,
bnt not more certainly. Even cne very
stubborn man, perfectly honest, may
prevent the election Of a senator. NY
recollection is that that is precisely
what happened in Wyoming in 1893.
The Democrats had only one majority
on joint ballot, but one Democratic
member would nos vote for the caucus
nominee, and the Democrats could not
or would not agree on anybody else
No senator was elected I don t remeln-
ber ever to have read or heard any
charge against the integrity of the re-
ealcitrant member But his stubborn
ness knocked the state ont of one Unit
ed States senator for two years and the
Democratic party out of one United
States senator for six years; for the
legislature elected in 1894 was Repub.
hcan and elected Republican senator.

Most Leglrsaters Honest.

Now. be it distinctly understood that
I am not charging that all state legisla
tors, or majority of them or any large
percentage Of them, are corrupt, for
do not believe it. / doubt if majority
of any legislature ever assembled in the
United States was amenable to corrupt
influences except some Of the legisla-
lures in the southern states during the
reconstruction period, Undoubtedly
corrupt men. 4 comparatively small per
cent. get into many legislatures, but in
most cases it is this small per cent Of
corrupt members who produce the dead
locks and who elect Doodle United
States senators. For instance. in the
legislature Of the state Of Alleghania.

majority on joint ballot. All of that
majority except one may be for A.,

When with secret Sims and pass
words local Republicans assemble in
their cave TO plot against the people,
they show exactly how they regard
the silver question. They don't want
anything to do with ii in the first place,
but if they find it necessary to use as a
bait for voters, a free silver plank viii
be inserted in their platform.
This is about the way it was last
fall. Republicans endorsed and APP
plaudedn all of the policies of The ad-
ministration, but added an old silver
plank that had been abrogated by the
national organization. They no doubt
felt then and feel yet as one of the
speakers at the recent Republican eau

DEWEY HAS RETURNED

Admiral Dewey is home again. 1t has
been a remarkable voyage from which
be has just returned. He went an OBJ
scure commander; he returns the great
est living hero of the high seas. His
name was seldom spoken in public two
years ago; now it is a household word.
There is no American more popular to-
day. Men and women of all classes,
creeds, parties. places. tongues and
trades delight to do him honor. are glad
TO sound his praise. The preparations
made for his reception in he nations
metropolis are so magnificent that no
pen can do them justice. It is enough
to say that such demonstration never
awaited an American before.
The admiral wasn't expected for a
day or two. The decorations are not
quite ready. The crowd has not yet
assembled. The programme is made
out, hut the procession isn't ready to
start Friday and Saturday will be
given over to the patriotic jewellers and
the great sea fighter win have chance
to see what an impression he has made
upon his fellow citizens by his demon
stration of the superiority of the Amer
lean feet. of American gunners and
American sailors. Dewey owes his pop
ularity as hero not more to the sum
mary manner in which he disposed of
the Spanish armada than to the in
sufferable load of anxiety he lifted from
the nations heart when he made plain
that we had the boosted navy of Spain
at our mercy. The army we never
feared. The navy was a bugbear. He
tore it down. He exposed its rotten in
efficiency. He gave relief to 100000
hearts that haven't ceased to beat their
gratitude to this day, and that never
will forget the intrepid sailor, the war
rior, the statesman, the diplomat who
held the situation so well in hand when
serious complications were threatened.
There isn't a citizen of this republic
but is proud of Dewey and his achieve
ments. In the harbor of national glory
he anchored his fame as a hero. We are
all glad to welcome him home. Welcome
to the port of rest from the bay of ac-
tioni

EARTHQUAKES in ALASKA.

From ali accounts the Pacific coast
Of Alaska has had a pretty severe
shaking Up this month. While seismic
disturbances are often experienced that
far north. few have been as strong and
persistent as these seem to have been.
According to the reports just received
in this country, there can be no mis-
take about the genuineness OF these
upheavals. The trade mark of de-
stauctfon is upon their work. Lakes
were torn open and their contents
poured over the plain; coast lines were
changed. mountains thrown down,
holiows filed, gashes cut in the sur
face Of the earth and hundreds Of peo-
pie frightened almost out OF their wits.
Glaciers were broken and crowded into
the sea. huge tidal waves leaped upon
the shore anG tangled the forests into a
witchs mat, strange winds blew from
almost every direction. frightful noises
filed The air and shocks continued at
irregular intervals for more than three
weeks.
EARTHQUAKES used to be common on
the Pacific coast. For some reason or
other they are less frequent of late,
and those thai come are comparatively
slight. This makes the Alaska trouble
seem 50 much the worse. Il can't be

ali the goid that has been taken out
aof that country in the last two years.

The Mail and Express regards it as
"a. significant fact that the enroll
ments for the new regiments are most
numerous in districts where the anti
imperial sentiment is strongest. 1t is
significant. It shows thai the men
who are most courageous in the ex-
preston of their opinions are most
ready to enlist when soldiers are want

the republic, its traditions and its
teachings are more willing and ready
TO fight when there is trouble on hand
than are ,those believers in imperial
ism who blindly follow a ruler whom
they hold incapable of doing wrong.
The slavery of Imperialism requires
drafts and compulsory service. Men
who think for themselves and have the
independence to speak their minds are
always quick to volunteer when there
is fighting to be done. 1t is the differ
ence between the manner of men es-
sential to the maintenance of a repub-
lie and those who are influenced by the
imperialistic idea.

of the earth was covered With heavy

all seem to point to the conclusion that
the center of the ice-covered region was
quite away from the present position of
the north pole of the earth. If we are
to regard the pole as very near the
point of the greatest cold, it becomes
a matter of much interest to examine
whether the pole has always occupied
its present position, or whether it has
been subjected to slow changeS of place
upon the earth's surface. Therefore the
biologists have appealed to astrono-
