tanning Senate amendment, be stricken
out. AS a result of this action, no regu-
lar employe of either house will be allowed
compensation for extra work, unless IL is
authorized by resolution. The action of
the Legislature, in concurring in the re-
Tort, will also enable both legislators and
employees to draw their pay within short

OF the incidents of the morning in the Sen

In the testimony presented by the Re-
publican contestant in the Twelfth district
In st. Louis the most astounding frauds
have been exposed. The chief clerk of the
superintendent of the census in that city
was employed to obtain the number of
males over twenty-one years Of age. The
work was begun early in December and
proceeded in the same manner as the TAX
ing of the census. and by the men who
acted as census enumerators in July. The
Democratic registration showed that 36,172
voters registered. The house-to-house cam
vass showed that only los Of these names
properly belonged to men living in the dis
trict That is. 1886 names which were
voted at the election could not be found
to belong to persons living in the district.
The canvassers found the names of 1866
men of the voting age who had not regis
tered. This means that the voting lists in
that congressional district were stuffed
with 1896 bogus names. And yet the Mis-
souri, Legislature refuses to repeal or mod
ify the law which made these great frauds
possible,

THE PURPOSE OF PARTIES.

One who reads the gossip about what is
taking place in political circles may come
10 the conclusion that the sole purpose Of
keeping up political organizations is to
obtain and hold political places and to dis
tribute patronage. Now and then bill is
presented to the Legislature which is de-
signed to sustain such a conclusion. For

election of county school superintendent

ship trustees without serious objection. AT
any rate. there was no objection to such
method of election four years ago, when a
qualification was made for such officers.
Last fall the Republicans lost a large num-
bel of trustees, and now some members of
the Legislature. urged by their friends.
desire to have the superintendent elected
by the people in the counties, on the ground
that more Republican superintendent
would be elected by that method than IL
township trustees should continue to
choose. This is a weak reason for the
change, and when it is remembered that
no qualification can be imposed upon an
elective office. every pretext for a change
is swept away. unless the only object of
government is to furnish offices for as
any as can get them.
A number of years ago man of national
reputation was introduced to an audience
by citizen who said there was so little
difference between parties that all they
could be kept alive for was the distribution
of official patronage. The speaker. man
who had been in politics all his life. said
in response that If he suspected that The
only reason for the existence of parties
was TO distribute the offices, the best and
most useful men in public life would never
make another canvass. He went on TO say
that if he did not believe in the essential
features of the Republican creed and that
the Republican party could give the coun-
