KNIGHTS of Honor.

Anchor Lodge was recently con-
solidated with Liberty Lodge in the
presence of. so many that the hall would
not accommodate all who wished to wit
ness the ceremony. After the work of
the evening there was an adjournment to
a large hall, where there was spread a
fine banquet, and addresses were deliv-
cred by Dictator ]. A. johnson, Grand
Dictator Archibald, Grand Reporter
Johnstone, Grand Past Dictator Learned
Ben I. Salomon and E. G.. Eisen, a vocal
solo by A E Rowe and number of short
talks, stories and musical selections.
So great was the. success of the recent
picnic of the order that it has been de-
cided to give another on the SOth of next
May.
Yerba Buena Lodge at its meeting on
last Monday initiated four strangers, and
the work was witnessed by Grand Dicta-
tor Archibald, Grand Vice Dictator Hol-
comb, Grand Reporter Johnston and
J. A Johnson, dictator of Liberty
Lodge, and also large delegation
dresses, greatly praised the officers for
the work. which they performed in
manner which reflected great credit upon
them.

THE ELECTION OF SENATORS.

y 7 the last session OF the Pennsylvania Legis-
I \ lature committee composed OF two Senators
and three Representatives appointed to
confer with the Legislatures OF other States with
view to bringing about amendment to the consti-
tuition OF the United States providing for the election
of United States Senators by direct vote OF the peo
pie The committee has just held at Philadelphia a
meeting at which it announced that communica-
tons have been received from the Secretary OF State
OF every State in the Union with the exception OF
Arkansas, and that there is strong sentiment par
tcuary i'll the Western States, in favor OF the amend
ment
Upon the showing made the committee felt so
much encouraged it decided to request all the States
to send delegates to general conference be held
in Philadelphia next spring to devise ways and
for bringing the issue to conclusion. 1t is
expected the conference will decide upon plan Of
action which will commend itself to the people as
whole. and that result there will be immediate
action thereafter in the direction of the desired
amendment.
Just why there should be a conference on the sub
ject is not clear All the States have Representa-
tves in Congress, and these just as we'll fitted to
discuss and determine plan cf action as any other
delegates could be. In the end the matter will have
to be submitted TO Congress. and it would be Just
as well to urge action upon that body this winter as
to wait for the conference next spring.
The whole question has been thoroughly discussed
throughout thee country and the people are familiar
with the causes which render the change necessary
Dor the national welfare. There have been deadlocks
or worse in Senatorial elections in Legislatures in
every portion of the Union from Delaware to Cali
fornia 1t is time to put an end to them and to re
move from the State Legislatures these fruitful
sources of corruption and disturbance. 1t not in
frequently happens that business OF great importance
to State is set aside because Of the struggles over
a Senatorial election. Under such circumstances a
conference on the subject is hardly necessary 1t will
of course do no harm but it is safe to say that the
Senator or Representative who will not vote for sub
hitting the amendment to the States at once will
hardly be persuaded to do SO by anything con
ference can say or do

which most OF the OF the day will be
preached, for it is the dominant feature of our ma
tona life
The President has we'll said Seldom has this
nation had greater for profound thanksgiving.
No great pestilence has invaded our shores Liberal
employment waits upon labor Abundant crops have
rewarded the efforts OF the husbandu1an Increased
comforts have to the home The national

has been sustained and made hrmer In all branches
Of industry and trade there has been an unequaed

gain in the moral and educational growth OF our ma

ished American patriotism has been exalted. Those
engaged in maintaining the honor Of the flag with
such signal have been in large degree spared
from disaster and disease. An honorable peace has
been ratified with foreign nation with which we were
at war, and we are at friendly relations with
every power on earth.
All that is thus set forth in reference to the CON
dton OF country is true and is to be hoped
the President further predictions of the speedy return
Of healthy industrial conditions in Cuba prosperity
in storn-stricken Porto Rico and peace in the Phil
ppines will be fulfilled. 1t is only in these islands
that any menace to our continued peace exists, and
none would exist there if the people OF the islands
assured OF the good purposes OF the United
States. So long as the Fpinos have reason to dis
trust promises, the Cubans to fear the
forcible annexation OF their country to the United

thanksgiving to which the President invites them

SNEAK TACTICS OF THE SOUTHERN
PACIFIC.

IN Sunday October IS The Call announced
that the Southern Pacific Company. en-
gagged in a plot to have General N. P. Chip
man. one OF its we-1nown supporters, appointed 70
the vacancy on the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion The scheme was cunningly laid, because the
merchants and manufacturers OF the entire coast
were actively at work to procure the selection OF
representative of the coast for the Office, and the
railroad managers saw an opportunity to the
efforts OF these men to further the ends OF the rail
road itself
The Call has proof that the petition requesting the
appointment OF Chpman was drawn up in the office
OF the Southern Pacific Company and was circulated
by Judge Carpenter When The Cali exposed the
scheme the attempt to obtain additional support for
Chipman was dropped and the petition forwarded to
Washington.
1t behooves the merchants OF Seattle Tacoma,
Portland, Los Angeles, San Diego, as well as San
Francisco and all other cities OF the Pacific Coast
send at once an energetic protest to Washington
against the appointment of Chapman
1t is not pleasant task oppose the aspirations
OF any Californian for the Office, but in this the
danger TO the interests OF the public is great that
the opposition must be made at once and energeti-
cally It will go hard with the interests OF this coast
il the Southern Pacific manages to get one of its
agents on the Interstate Commission The issue is a
momentous one. 1t is of pressing urgency. Let
protests from every part OF the coast go to Washing
ton without delay.

Washington, February 13.--The Port

and the opinion OF the attorney general
OF the United states will probably have
the effect of finding the channel they were
constructing when stopped by order of the
secretary OF war. This order was made ut
the instance Of certain people who said
the secretary had no right to authorize the
construction OF channel through waters
that were not wholly within the limits OF
one State. The secretary then asked the
opinion of the attorney general. lie ren>
