McPherson's Vote on the SenatOrship
Amendment,

Smith Mcpherson has been criticised
some for his vote against the proposed
constitutional amendment permitting
the election of U. S. senators by direct
vote Of the people. The following let
ter, which he sent to the Adair News,
shows that his vote was misunderstood,
and that he did indeed vote for the very
measure he was criticised for voting
against.
Following is the letter:
II noticed in your paper of the Goth
a suggestion as to my recent vote on
the proposed amendment to the con-
stitution governing the election OF
United States senators.
"Your criticism is friendly in tone,
and such as the press has the right, as
we'll as the duty, to make of all public
officers. wish to be critised, and even
censured, when l make mistake con-
corning an official matter.
"My purpose, however, in writing
you is to say, that neither your paper,
nor. any other I have seen, correctly
represents my action. Two PROPOSE
tons were before the house.
"First.-A proposed amendment to
allow any state to elect United States
senators either by the legislature as we
do now, or by vote of the PEOPLE at the
polls. I voted for this. Under oul
constitution two CO senators are tc
represent a state, regardless of its size
As they are to represent the state,
think the state should say the name,
of election.
"Second.-A proposed amendment
to compel every state to elect the
senators by vote of the people. This
last, voted against" Yours very truly

Proud of His Labels.

A dlstangy looking young man board
ed a Fourteenth street car at Massa-
chusetts avenue the other night. He
was carrying a leather suit case.
Pasted all over the suit case were Ia
bells indicating much foreign travel
steamer pastors slapped on at Dieppe,
Havre, Ostend, Bremen, Cherbourg,
Liverpool, Yarmouth, Naples, and rail
road labels that bore the names Of all
lines all the way from Constantinople
to st. Petersburg. The young man Of
distangy appearance put the suit case
down between his legs, and all the peo-
pie in the seats opposite began a fas-
cinated sort of inspection of the labels.
A stout man with several Of the COM
ponent parts Of a jag who sat next to
the young man seemed to regard the
labels with particular interest. He
stopped over and deciphered them
carefully and deliberately, and then he
looked up at the owner Of the suit
case with leer.
"Been around right smart, hain't
you, podnerY' he inquired.
The young man regarded him with a
smile.
"Never been farther away from
Washington than New York In my
life," he replied, without any hesita-
ton whatsoever. II got that whole
bunch Of labels for half a dollar at a
little money exchanging joint. down
near the Battery, In New York. Hot

The frankness Of the statement so
dazed several of the passengers who
overheard it that they got Off at the

Last week the Advocate made la
times are not good now, that increased
business does not mean good times,
that more manufacturing in this country
is no evidence of prosperity, and of
like fallacies. Such articles are in
teresting for the large number of
errors they contain. 1t is strange how
many of the commonest principles OF
politician economy writer can violate
in quarter column when he tries.
Such an article makes one study to
know whether the writer is in earnest
or is testing. For example the article
referred to says '"The prosperity of our
country does not depend upon our
manufactures but upon our laborers
and the farming class" AS if large
per cent of our laborers were not de-
pendent upon manufactures for their
employment, and as if farmers are not
greatly benefited by the excellent
home markets created by increased
number of people engaged in the man.
ufacturing business. 1t seems to be
lesson hard for some to learn that the
different industries, farming, building,
manufacturing, merchandising, and
the hundred other lines of business are
largely dependent on the success Of
the others for their own success.
When the Advocate says remember
that factories will care for themselves"
it is simply talking part of the free trade
dogmas that have brought us hard
times every time they have been tried.

The committee on resolutions at the
democratic convention last week, would
surely appreciate the compliments
given their resolutions if they had come
from some other source but knowing
that the public knows him also, they
can not appreciate them as they might
otherwise. Advocate.
We infer from this the compliments
given by the REPUBLICAN were the only
ones received. That is about as we ex-
pected. After so much labor had been
expended we thought it proper to COM
pliment the resolutions so far as pos
sible, and we are sorry our words were
not appreciated.

The Guthrian, quoting what we re-
Gently said in criticism of it for saying
that county, having no judicial OF
senatorial ties with the rest of the
district, was apparently left out in the
cold, replied last week as follows:
We have all along considered that
the good natured rivalry to see who
should represent this district in con-
gress, was question of men not
principle. Byers, Hager or Smith, il
any one of them was to be nominated
and elected, would represent the prin-
ciples of the party to which he belonged
and it is not therefore a matter of
principle until the nomination is made.
We beg Bro. Motifs pardon for over
looking the senatorial tie that binds
Audubon and Guthrie. Our excuse is,
that the tie in the past has been so
slight and so different from the ''Tie
that binds" that we easily slipped into
the error. We sincerely hope that
Audubon in the future will so conduct
herself towards us that we will always
remember the tie that binds us.
