Against Clark.

Washington, D. c., Speclal.-The
Senate committee on privileges and
elections have decided by a unanimous
vote to recommend the adoption Of a
resolution declaring that Hon. W. A.
Clark, OF Montana, is not entitled to
occupy his seat as Senator from Mon
tana. This decision followed a two
hours session at which the members
spoke at length on the question. Sen
ator Harris, of Kansas. said that what
ever Mr.. Clark's offenses, they were but
little worse than the methods pursued
by Congressman Campbell and ex-
State Senator Whiteside in their efforts
to expose the Senator, and II he insist
ed that If the report was to be antag-
onistic to Mr.. Clark, it should at the
same time relate in full detail the
course pursued by the two principal
witnesses against him. Senator Pet
tus practically agreed with Mr.. Harris.
The concensus Of opinion OF the COM
mittee was that the cumulative char
acter Of the testimony should be con-
sidered, rather than any one especial
feature Senators Chandler and TuTley
were directed to prepare the report. II

So much has been done in recent
years to promote the convenience Of
all classes OF riders and drivers that it
is pleasure to read decision which
asserts, negatively, at least the rela-
tive Importance and rights of the man
who walks. Bicycle-paths have been
built for the bicyclist, speedways for
the drivers, bridle-paths for riders,
and trolley-cars roam almost at will
though the cities and over some of the
fairest stretches of country roads.
Meantime the man on foot has been
finding himselfmore and more crowded
in the city; and in the country he has
continued to stub his way through
mud and dust or over stones and
gravel, asking and getting no special
privileges. Now comes a bicyclst,
in the person of Syracuse girl, and
asks the courts to declare that the city
must give the bicyclist better side
walk than it gives the pedestrian.
She claimed that depression in a
sidewalk in Syracuse caused her to
fall from her wheel. She sued aud
got verdict for $500. The trial court
charged that the city was bound to
furnish "a reasonably safe sidewalk
for the purposes intended, that is,
bicycle-riding." The appellate divi
sior of the supreme court has set
asle this Judgment on the ground
that the city was bound merely to pro
vide for the bicyclist "a walk reason
ably safe" for pedestrian.

The rapid growth of cities is one Of
the most serious problems the sociolo-
gist has to face, thinks the Christian
Register. Late in the history OF the
world has come the hope of doing good
to people by simply awakening their
perceptions to duty, rendering them
o little less numb and Indifferent
to the pleasures of the eye, the new
conceptions that come with this wild
ening of the realm of soul, this open
ing of the closed shell of the brain
and heart TO vision, to fancy, to adj
miration and love. How sad the pic
ture of an ever-increasing concentra-
tion and crowding of human beings
in towns, dwarfed and stunted more
in mind and body, accentuatins the
coarse, callous, Indifferent urban type
of unfortunates and criminals, in
creasing and multiplying to fill our
almshouses, prisons, and idiot asy-
lums
