general of Australia, is expected to
dazzle the colonies with his magnifi-

few years ago the sum spent ON his ia
bic alone was many times that of his
official salary.

The Election of Senator'S.

F. NJ. Simmons, Democrat. will sue
coed Marion Butler, the Populist, In
the senate from North Carolina. The
Legislature chosen Nov. 6 will practi-
cally have nothing to do but register
the choice of the people. This is be-
cause at the state primaries held by
the Democrats of North Carolina last
April the voters recommended" the
selection OF Mr.. Simmons. In the same
way the Democrats at the primaries in
Arkansas last spring recorded their
preference for the reelection Of Sena-
tor Berry over ex-senator Jones. These
methods Of nominating a senator are
not recognized by federal or state laws.
Yet members are frequently nominated
pledged in advance after q contest in
the primaries. In Montana and In
Pennsylvania the fitness Of legislative
candidates was entirely lost sight of in
the struggle for the Legislature. In
these states rival candidates OF the
same party contended in many dis
tricts, he division being on the sena-
torship. In this indirect way Clark's
election from Montana seems assured
and Quay's from Pennsylvania Is pos
sible. These are facts which seem to
show that there is much merit in the
North Carolina plan. At all events 1t
enables the legislature to get down to
business at once without a prolonged
struggle over the senatorship, which
