The people of this country who have
some regard for right methods in poll
tics will rejoice that the committee on
privileges and elections has reported
adversely on the seating of Senator
Quay of Pennsylvania, who was APP
pointed by the governor of that state In
direct violation of the constitution of
that great commonwealth. The senate,
rs whole, will do itself and the people
valuable service by following the
wholesome recommendation of its COM
mittee We notice that old Senator
Hoar is one of the chief spokesman in
Quay's unlawful attempt to break into
the senate. 1t will also be observed
that he appears as the leading repre-
sentative, in this country, of Aguiraldo.
Comparisons are not altogether odius at
times.
