AT last Quay is out, by the closest
of all possible margins, one vote.
The U. S. Senate thus shows now
anxious machine politicians may be
to favor some prominent rings!er, al
though by so doing they violate both
precedent and law. The vote stood,
without the pairs, 80 for inviting him
to "step down and out" and 80 who
were willing he should remain. The
principle sustained by this action is
that the appointment of Senators by
State executives is provided for in
State constitutions merely to afford a
means for filling vacancies that may
be regarded as unexpected.

A PREMIUM on MARRIAGE BARRED.
The Secretary of State of Ohio, late
ly by advice of the Attorney General,
refused to issue a certificate OF incor-
poratlon OF the Mutual Benefit Society,
OF Columbus, an organization which
proposed to insure unmarried persons
on plan OF regular assessments as
long as the members remain single
and payment of the principal sum of
insurance on marriage. The Attorney
General in his letter to the Secretary
says: "While the object seems to be
to change the condition of marriage
from a lottery to sure thing game, it
does not seem to be practicable"

THE Yakima Democrat, in referring
to the probable appointment OF w. H.
White to the Supreme bench to sue
coed Judge Gordon, deprecates that
action and says that the mass of re-
form forces in this State do not justify
his accidency in this exchange OF
party favors, for "they have not yet
forgotten the gibes and insults hurled
at them so recklessly, but a few
months ago, by the windy sage of
King county, and there is no evidence
that he has since recanted. To do
So" it affirms, "would only he to an
ger, or dishearten, many of those
upon whom he must rely for support"

VERY little attention has been
called to the fact that the Republic
cans did not dare to enact the gold
standard without providing q grand
scheme for imitation of paper currency,
to take the place OF the abandoned
metal. The relative circulation OF
paper dollars may now be increased
under the new banking system, to
amount to five dollars for every dollar
of redemption money in the Treasury
This is the substitute made for the
despised "42-cent dollar"-a rag dol,
lara dollar which depends entire
ly on basis representing one-ffth
its face value, or - cents. But then
the bank note issue is placed where it
will do the most good as party fac
tor and that, of course, makes it right
