If the Senate shall adopt the Quay theory
1t may be prepared to see a third of it's
members holding their seats by executive
appointment within seven years. There is
one consolation about all this. 1t seems to
be an essential tendency of evil to commit
suicide. The system of senatorial election
by legislature became odious to the people
a dozen years ago. Nine-tenths of the
voters of the United States are anxious TO
kill it. Thus far their wish has been
thwarted by the stubborn insistence of the
Senate upon the old methods. But II the
Senate Itself transfers the choice of it's
members from the legislatures to the gov
errors the system of legislative election
will have been killed by its own hands.
The governors will not be able to hold their
new power long. 1t will go next to the
people.

Observation-Disclosures
POLITICAL WOMEN.
BY Susan D. Anthony.

There Is no point which ought to
pe 80 strongly emphasized, no fact
Which so needs to be impressed upon
those women who are now organizing
TO work for the different political par
ties, as that of their utter powerless-
ness to help or hinder.
Senator James IL. Lane, of Kansas
always used to say to those who came
begging him to assist their pet meas
ures: We'll, what do you propose to
do for me in return?"
rms was II brutally blunt way of
putting into words what every politl-
clan says in effect when he ignores
the prayers anG petitions OF women.
1t Is the philosophical and inevitable
consequences of our acknowledgements
mean form of government, In which
position and power are conferred by
the electors. Those who desire pro-
motion must establish themselves in
the favor Of those who can grant II,
and there is nothing to be gained by
catering to any other class.
This may be placing government on
low plane 1t is altrusm with a
limit; desire to help others in the
exact proportion that others help us.
II Is the golden rule read backward
Have others do unto you in the pre-
else ratio that you do unto them.
Such is the present status-not the
fault of the individual, but the re-
suit of the systematic electorate gov
eins. 1t gives and 1t takes away. All
outside of this body are without power
to do either.

about to sell them a few days ago. Mr..
Schaffner has secured an Injunction
against the sale, and contends that the
county and school taxes that are
charged against these horses are in
va1id-that he is only subject to state
taxes. The matter will be argued be-

will go to the supreme court for final

Of the treaty that was sent to the SEN

ment of 81, 100000 to the Turtle Noun

was reported from a commission APP
pointed by President Harrison, of
which Senator McCumber was a mem

senate and Senator McCumber, when
he took his seat as senator, set to work
to have it brought up and ratified.
Senator Teller is also interested, but
in opposition to the bill, as, when sec
rotary of the interior, he held that the
Indians had coded their rights to the
land to the government.
