s.GNiFICANT ACTION.

While the Pennsylvania state con-
vention yesterday endorsed the ad-
of William Mckinley, it
did so under protest and at the direct
request of Senator M. s. Quay, whom
the administration, through Senator
Hanna, turned down in the United
states senate. The convention was
seventy per cent Quay and the dele
gates were ready to refuse to endorse
Mckinley and to pass a warm resolu-
tion directed at Senator Hanna. Moth
ing of the sort was done, because Quay
thought he could best afford to be
generous. This places him in the role
of a martyr and makes more certain
the election of his friends to the leg
islature this fall, insuring him his seat
in the senate again in the regular way.
When he gets back to the senate it will
be time enough to make the atmosphere
somewhat torrid for Mr. Hanna. But
while the convention did not show its
spleen against the administration, and
confined it's criticism of Hanna to word
of mouth, there is no denying the posi-
tion that was taken with reference to
the unseating of the Pennsylvania boss.
A resolution was adopted declaring that
Senator Quay was clearly entitled to
his seat, thus putting the responsibility
of that defeat on Senator Hanna for
Hanna has been openly accused Of
bringing 1t about and has made no de-
nial. In passing the resolution, which
was accomplished in the heat of blood,
Pennsylvania has placed herself on rec
ord against the action of the senate in
holding that an appointment of a sem
ator by a governor is not binding when
a legislature fails to elect. In that is
the dangerous feature. Bad as Is the
system of electing senators, the ap-
pointive feature is worse. If the Penn
sylvania Republicans had gone on rec
ord for an election of senator by di-
rect vote of the people, they would have
been taking a consistent step. The
plan would defeat Quay, for he could
not be elected by the people, but it
would be honest. 1t would have been
as much of slap at Hanna as could be
desired, also, for everyone will admit
that the Junior Ohio senator could not
have been and could not now be cleo
ted, II the people of Ohio were allowed
to vote directly upon the proposition.

Rolling mill has decided that one of
the factories that will be run. for the
time being at least, will be the Canton
mill. This is good news for Canton.
1t is unfortunate that mills in other
places must be closed and men thrown
out of employment, that the Canton
mill may operate, but for the local ac-
ton of the trust, local people are
thankful. Besides, it wouldn't have
looked well to have a trust object les

Is that not somewhat curious meet
ing in London of railroad magnates,
one of them being a special messen-
ger from President Mckinley? Since
the United States is holding Cuba only
temporarily, by military occupation,
until an independent Cuban govern
ment is established, what has Presi-
dent Mckinley to do with granting new
franchises or confirming old ones? Is
1t purposed to exploit the islands for
the advantage Of American and En-
glish spectators, by giving away some
of its most important privileges while
1t Is under our military control. and
then requiring their confirmation by
the civil authorities when such are
established? The whole business has
a decidedly queer aspect, and fuller in
formation will be much desired.

In the naval bill recently before the
house at Washington was an "emer-

out specification. The clause gave $780,
900 to the president to be spent at his
pleasure, presumably in the direction of
the general tenor Of the bill. This clause
was opposed by the Democrats in the
house on the theory that it was danger
Gus. In time of war the Democrats
stood TO a man for an expenditure OF

discretion of President Mckinley, but
they knew what he was going to dowitt

will have universal support. Mistakes

TIE OHIO FIAsCO.

The Ohio Platform may be construed
to be a forecast of the national Repub-
lican platform, though all that the ad-
ministration people at Washington
wanted is not Incorporated. 1t is plat
form that will not appeal to the people
as having great strength or promising
any reforms. On the most vital issues
1t is silent and deals more in generality
than in specification. 1t is well enough
to say something about the broader
field of world duty" but it is also well
to inquire what the conditions are and
of what that duty should consist, con-
trasting them in the light of the facts.
Generalities will not satisfy the Ameri-
can people. The platform says with
reference to the Philippine people:
We advocate for them free schools,
full security of life, liberty and prop
erty, the most liberal measures for the
development of their agriculture and
industry, and tn, largest degree of To-
cal self-rule for which they are fitted.
Here is just the difference between
the man with the promise and the man
with the performance. If the admins
tration advocates all this for the Fill
pinos, why doesn't it perform some Of
it? Why did we have just Haunted in
our faces an account Of "the bloodiest
week in the history of the war in the
Philippines?" Is the free school" that

THE QUAY CASE.

The failure of the senate to seat M.
never get back to the senate, though It
is an indication of his waning prestige.
The question was on the power Of a
governor toappoint and did not take into
account the fitness or unfitness of the ap-
plicant for the seat. The question was
really whether the will of the repre-
sentatives of Pennsylvania people
should be thwarted. The senate decid-
ed that it should not Quay could not
win his seat from the legislature of the
state and that body adjourned with
out having made an election of sena-
tor. Then Governor Stone, a product
of the Quay ring, appointed the Beaver
man to the place. The issue was thus
made up. But whatever the merits of
the case, it must be patent that the
present system of electing United
States senators is fraught with great
danger. The system may have been all
right when it was framed. and doubt
les those responsible had made up what
was then the best system and met all
their requirements. Today the country
demands change. New conditions
have arisen. Men aspire to the senate
not because of strength Of mind or
power in debate, but because they have
dollars and know that humanity is frail.
The small number Of men in legsla-
ture and the notorious frailty of the
average legislator makes 1t compare
lively easy for designing men to thwart
the will Of the people. The solution is
the election of senators by direct vote
of the people. Great corporate interests
have some effect upon elections, but it
is much less easily accomplished at
general election than in a small body
| of purchasable partisans. The Demo-
cratic party should be unit on this
question. A plank to elect senators by
| direct vote should be in the plat
form. The danger Of the present sys-
TEN was never more apparent than in
the Quay case, for prejudice had much
to do with the vote. Senators who had
voted against the seating of Corbett.

ernor Of that state had appointed him

Quay, though the cases were practical
ly parallel. What brought about this
change Of heart can only be suggested
from the fact that those who voted that
way were personal friends Of the Penn
sylvania man and some southern men,
bers thought he ought to be rewarded
in some way or other for voting against
the force bill when 1t was at issue
When senators cannot be depended
upon to follow their own precedents II
is time the constitution were so amen
ded as to avoid like situations in the
future. The popular branch of con-
gress has passed, by an overwhelming
majority, a resolution that senators
should be elected by direct vote. This
resolution will be in the senate at flu
