could not justly withhold from him a con-
fc>siou Of the strength Of his argument.
the lawyer-iike form in which he presented
it and the coure ge he manifested in meet
ing the cas-" as it exists. His bearing like
wise was dignified and impressive The
whole House rose instantly 70 the rccogni-
ton of the fac! that a man Of character
and pronounced ability had the floor and
was acquitting himself with unusual ease
and success This much was Of especial
interest to Mr.. Iittlefield himself
What the country and the republican
party may well rejoice over is the appear
ance of 50 strong and promising a man in
the congressional arena from d state which
has 50 recently lost several public men of
long experience and large usefulness. After
death had taken Mr.. Dingley and Mr.
Ml!ltken. and Mr.. Reed had returned to
private life. there was general and sincere
lament for Maine. And. later the illness
of Mr. Boutelle has added to this note of
regret The feeling WAS well founded. No
state ever lost more heavily in representa-
tive sons in so short a time. But. as We
now see. the state has q splendid reserve
force. The successor of Nelson Dngley
proves to be a man worthy of that great
honor. and one who would easily have
taken a place among the leaders of the
House in the days III Main-'s greatest
power in that body He will help most

pie of chief executive because Of a fall
ure on their part to cast a majority vote
for any candidate for the presidency.
There is this difference between the ca ses:
The office of President must be filled: the
Office of senator may remain vacant with
out jeopardizing the efficiency of the gov
eminent. For it is assured by the Consti-
tuition that the Senate shall never fall be
low two-thirds of its possible membership
at any point of reorganization. Being a
continuing body. vacancies may. as they
almost always do. exist in its ranks with
out seriously irapairing its efficiency. There
is great difference, too, between the fault
of the failure of the people at large to cast
majority vote for one presidential candi
date and the failure of a legislature to
agree upon senator In the one case the
process of Supplying the deficiency is well
Gnd clearly ordered. while in the other
there is grave uncertainty III the remedy,
provided the minority view now before the
Senate should prevail.
The safe way. the logical way. the right
way. is to enact that either there can be
no deadlocks in legislatures or that the
people themselves shall Rave the choiSe of
senators directly ir their hands, without
recourse to the cumbersome, dangerous and
fraud-invitng system of legislative middle
men. The prompt adoption of the majority
report in this case Will. it is well known,
discourage three other contestants whose
cases are similar, and will add to the argu-
ments in favor of the amendment of tie
Constitution TO make that instrument con-
form to the requirements of -he present
political situation.

Prison Reform in Cuba.

There should be no surprise felt by the
people OF this country that the American
administration in Cuba has not yet sue
ceeded in preventing the use of such filthy
prisons and other places of detention as
are now being reported to exist here and
there in the island. IT is well known that
the penal system maintained by Spain was
wretched in almost every detail Not only
was there the grossest injustice in the
treatment of prisoners against whom no
charge was written. or who were held for
years without trial on the fifmsiest pre-
lenses and the most shadowy indictments
but there was the vilest abuse of the pre-
negatives of government in the handling of
the proper charges of the state. The con-
ditions now reliably reported from these
pens are truly appalling. The thought
seemed to have fastened itself upon the

A peculiar danger from the thrd-rail sys-
ten of electric propulsion was disclosed last
right i'll Brooklyn, when a motor car on one
of the elevated roads operated by that sys-
TEN took fire. The fire was caused nv an
oyerworked motor, which .bucked' and
burned off its insulation and finally ex-
ploded, sending fragments of the machinery
into the car and igniting it. When the
firemen arrived they directed q stream upOn
the burning car only to be seriously shocked
by the electric current which ran down the
water from the hose as soor as it touched
the third rail on the structure above 1t
was not until the current for the whole
road had been shut off that the firem.n
could work with safety. The road was
blocked for more than an hour. This fea-
tLre OF the third-rail scheme has not here
tCfore been suggested by accidents Wash
lnSton Is fortunate in not having any de-
vice in use in its streets which offers such
menace. The system in vogue here has
proved itself satisfactory in all circl,n-
stances. Save during the blizzard of last
winter, when the tracks Were buried under
the Drifts faster than the plows could keep
the rails clean, the roads have never suf-
fered from interruptions due to the char
acter of the system itself With the last Of
the conduits which are to replace the old
hcrse-car tracks now being laid, the capital
compiacentiy regards the outer field and
