CULLOM.

The public career of Senator Shelby
NJ. CulIom affords in sense type OF
the professional politician starting
early in life and containing without
cessation, practically, until past the
age when the average man considers
his days of usefulness at an end. Be-
ginning in the office of city attorney
at Springfield in 1856. he served sue
cessively in the legislature and con-
gress until 1870, when he retired or
was retired, and becamea banker at the
state capital only TO Renter public life
two years later through the legislature.
This advantage. easily gained for one
who had already been fortune favored,
he used as stepping stone to greater
honors, the highest that the state or ma
ton can bestow short of the presiden-
cy itself. He sought first the control
of the house, of which he was men,
Der, and having gained it. reached for
and secured the gubernatorial chair.
Holding this until he could secure
something better, he awaited his op-
portunity for a seat in the United
States senate. To this high Office he
has Just won his fourth election, and
in the meantime he has aspired to the
presidency.
There is some satisfaction, senti-
mental though it may in a measure
be, in Senator Cullom's reelection,
as long as it must be republican,
notwithstanding that he is so deep
dyed politician by long experience
and practice that he has permitted
his narrow devotion to party to warp
his judgment and shape his course
contrary to his convictions, as was
shown particularly in the Porto Rican
tariff case, where, after condemning
the presidents plain duty flop, he
finally became subservient to the adj
ministration lash, with the explana-
ton that, no matter how he
might feel personally, he belonged
consider its interests first. Notwith-
standing the fact that he has had
more than is the ordinary lot of pub
lie honors, source of congratulation
is to be found in the action at Spring
field in his favor. He has in the first
place triumphed over the most obiec-
tionable element in the republican
party in Illinois, in the temporary
downfall of the Tanner-Lorimer-
Brown clique. And then he is
almost the last of the old
guard. He has seen some of the
greatest figures in the history of
his state and nation come and go.
He has acted on the stage of life in
state and national affairs with such
historic characters as Lincoln and
Douglas and the older Yates and
Davis and Logan and Grant and
Oglesby and many others who
in their day wrote their name
high in the temples of fame. He has
survived them all. and because he
still lives in personal remem brance of
them. discussion of his election again
is accompanied by the hope that in
the rounding up Of his public services
he may be inspired by the thought of
those other days when great men
were moved by higher impulses and
loftier motives than they have been
since.

raokLlNe THE TRUST.

The linseed oil trust. one of the
most villainous of the trusts, has got
into fine scrapc. 1t has been selling
a gallon of oil weighing seven and
one-half pounds. A. M. Heath dis
covered that true gallon of Gnseed
oil weighs seven and three-quarters
pounds. The appellate court at Chi
cago has Just given him a judgment
of $4,000 for short weight on his
purchases, and the trust is liable for
similar damages to every concern to
which it has sold the oil within the
past five years. This would be COM
forting to farmers and others who
have TO paint their houses, bar as and
fences were it not for the certainty
that the trust can ''make event. for
these losses by raising prices to all
house, barn and fence owners.

THE. SENATE AND THE rH1LIpp1sEs

I'M S1<&NAA1 y A1tD III
Unrepubican and unchristian is
the characterization that the Spring
field Mass Republican, newspaper
thoroughly loyal to republication
applies to the senate's tabling of Mr..
Hoar's proposed amendment to the
army bill. This amendment, says the
likewise republican Chicago Journal,
which was defeated by the vote of Mr..
Hoar's own party, gave the benighted
people of the Philippine islands
what is sometimes known as sa
show 1t set forth substantially
that further aggressive movements on
the part of the army in the Philip
pines should cease; that amnesty
should be proclaimed; that an armis-
tice be agreed upon with the insur-
gent leaders. and that ten or more of
them be asked to come to the United
States at the public expense, and talk
over the condition, character and
wishes of, the people of the islands.
Let US stop this bloodshed and devas-
tation of the islands, said the Hoar.
amendment in effect, and consider
what it is that the people over there
want.

cord with the Chicago Journals sug-

Springfield to amend the election law
by providing that the list of voters
and tally sheets be returned to the
county clerk of the county in which
the election is held within "a hours
after the close of the polls instead OF
10 hours, as now provided. The eff
feet of this amendment would in its
effect intensity rather than minimize
an existing evil. The Judges take
plenty of time as it is, and the aim of
the law should be to hasten the return
of the election results and to insure
the publication of the same at the
earliest moment possible. The cleo
ton judges do not need any more
rope. They need little Legislative

met with the approval of the admins
tration or of the republican senator's
who are pledged to its support. The
Springfield Republican is severe in its
comment upon their action:
There isn't one of these senators
who, in the position of the Filipinos.
would not fight as long as live drop
of blood was left in his veins or a
spark of the American spirit; never
theless, kill them, deport their lead
ers. burn their villages, lay waste
their country. until they are reduced
in spirit to the condition of whipped
dog. Here we have displayed how
genuine a christian spirit, and how
deep a humanity, how great regard
for liberty and sympathy with those
having aspirations to liberty
These are burning words. There
is not an American in the peaceful
enjoyment of the pleasures of his own
home who can view with complacency
the spectacle of a brother man being
driven out of his-yea, though he be q
black man and a so-called rebel at
that. Our war in the Philippines is
not a brilliant success, and there is
little glory in it, no matter how it
may terminate. While it lasts we
scarcely have the right to criticise
England for her humiliation of the
Beers. Peace should be established in
the Philippines, no matter how.
Where is the statesman who will dis
cover the way?
The situation reached by this gov
eminent in dealing with the Philip
pines is simply this: If the United
States, as the powers in control con-
tend. has conquered and pacified the
people it can afford to be just and
generous to them. If it has not sue
ceeded in depriving them of their lib
critics after all in time and life and
money that has been expended, it can
at least give them an inkling of what
the disposition and purpose of this
nation is toward them and see how
that will work in lieu of vigorous
warfare.
