the United States House OF Representatives,

all Conventions are n portion of our election
system, and this ballot act requires that candt-
dates to be voted for by the voters Throughout

candidates of party for Presidential electors

Although always intensely partizan,
Senator Tillman has way of frankly
expressing what he believes which
makes men admire his honesty, even
when they entirely disagree with him.
He made some of the democrats open
their eyes when he said, on the floor
of the Senate: 81 am always willing
patriotic and noble man" During
the same colloquy, he said to the re-
publican senators, referring to their
differences on the Puerto Rican tariff
question: you're the best organized
party l ever saw, and no matter how
you talk, have no doubt you viii all
round up on the vote"
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1900-03-21

Senator Hale has been entrusted
with a serious task as the second
member of a steering committee of
seven to arrange a compromise on the
Puerto Rican bill in the Senate. The
senator is an advocate of tariff as
are six out of the seven republican
senators. The committee has TO con
duet crusade for votes, which is
always a delicate matter, calling for
the highest kind of talent and the ex
ercise of excellent judgment Few
senators have more influence on leg
islation than Mr.. Hale. 1t will also
be gratifying to Maine people to
know that Senator Frye is likely to
be the mouthpiece of the administra-
ton in issuing semi official state
ment of the republican attitude on the
proposed legislation for the little is
land to the south. 1t can hardly be
disputed that Maine has the most
powerful representation in the Senate
of any state. There are numerous
states with one strong senator, but
Massachusetts, is about the only state
that approaches Maine in having two
highly efficient men, who are recog-
nized as leaders in that body.-Leacis-
ton Journal.

By solid republican vote, aided by
the vote of Senator Lindsay, Of Ken
lucky, the Senate has decided in favor
of the republican contention that the
constitution does not follow the flag
into acquisitions of territory outside
of the boundaries of the United States
proper, without an act of Congress
providing for such an extension. In
other words, that territory may be-
long to the United States without be-
coming part of the United States.
The vote was on an amendment Of

An economy of s25, 900, 900 year in
freight charges on our foreign COM
merce is one of the immediate bepe-
fits which Senator Frye predicts
would follow the adoption of the bill
for the encouragement of the mer-
chant marine of the United States.
No man in this country has given this
subject a closer study than Sen
ator Frye, and his accuracy of
judgment and absolute candor in his
statements render this prediction OF
his especially interesting. The ex-
penditures under the proposed ship
ping bill will be about 50 900, 900 year,
and if by it's adoption s25 200, 900 a
year can be saved in freights, it would
be an economy of just SIG 100000 per
annum, all of which would be dis
tributed among the people of the
United States.

An object lesson on the credit of ma
tons has been furnished by the action
of the British governme mt in offer
ing English consols, bearing 2 "a
per cent. interest, TO American invest
ors-the first time such an offer was
ever made-at 50 "a per cent. of their
face value, and by the finance bill, de-
vised by republicans, last this week
became law. This bill provides for
refrnding the entire bonded indie bted
ness of the United States into 2 per
cent bonds, lower than any nation has
ever floated bonds, and assurances
have already been received that the
new bonds will be gladly taken at par
by the holders of the old ones. That
is the sort of craftsmanship the repub-
Leans give this nation. They were
not satisfied that our credit should be
as good as that of any other nation,
but have made it better than that of
the best.
