AN ISSUE THAT BRYAN WANTS.

About the only matter of real i'm
portance that developed from Mr., Bry-
ans conference with Democratic sena.
tors in Washington on Thursday re-
lated TO the question of electing sena-
tors by direct vote of the people. He
asked them to get the committee, which
has charge of the resolution providing.
a constitutional amendment for the
election of senators by popular vote.
to act at once, so that the question
could be made an issue in the con-
gressional campaign. 1t is hardly nos
sible to make it a party issue because
there are many Republicans who favor
the proposed change. The chief oppon-
ent of it in the Senate is Senator Hoar.
who contends that the proposed amend
ment would be a violation of the ma
tional pledge that the equality of the
states would not be destroyed without
the consent of every one of them. 1t is
difficult to see how the equality of the
states would be destroyed by the
amendment. Each state would stil
have the same representation in the
Senate it now has.
There seems to be a pretty general
desire for this amendment. The House
has passed it three or four times. II
has passed the resolution now pending
in the Senate. Half, perhaps more. of
the states, through their Legislatures
have asked for the amendment. Surely.
senators can no longer doubt that the
people want it. 1t is believed that If
the Senate were to pass it three
fourths of the states would promptly
approve it.
The reason the people want It is that
there is so much corruption in the pres
ent method of electing senators. 1t is
easier to buy Legislature than it is to
buy a whole people. That Legislatures
are bought is shown by the many scan
dals connected with the elections of
senators. And, as a rule. these scan
dals are found where very rich
men have succeeded in getting into the
Senate.
In some of the states senators are
INV III 9SNSeAiS ShOSSh ny popular vote.
They are chosen at primaries, and
Legislatures ratify what the people
have done.
1t is probable that the main reason
why the Senate is slow in acting on
the amendment is that many of the
senators are afraid they would not be
able to hold their places if their re-
election depended upon the people
speaking through the ballot box The
Senate will have to pass the amend
ment. however, and they might as well
do it now as year or two hence.

An Invitation to Buna-Jones.

Although he has been only a few
days in this country, Sir Philip Burne-
Jones, the artist, has already had a
taste of American progressiveness in
advertising, says the New York Times.
Just before leaving for a visit to
Washington on Tuesday last Sir Philip
received a circular letter from a firm
engaged in the sale of dried fruit, in
viting him to compete for a prize to
be given for the best design to be used
in advertising their wares. Only one
prize, the circular stated, was to be
given, and all unsuccessful drawings
were to become the property of the
firm. After reading the circular, and
not to be outdone by the audacious re-
quest, Sir Philip sat down and wrote
the following letter in reply:
Manager Dried Fruit Company:
Dear Sir: l am offering a prize of
so cents for the best specimen of dried
fruit, and should be glad to have you
take part in the competition. Twelve
dozen boxes of each kind of fruit
should be sent for examination, and all
fruit that is not adjudged worthy of
the prize will remain the property of
the undersigned. 1t is also required
that the charges on the fruit so for
warded be paid by the sender.
Yours very truly,
"P. Burne- jones'

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Washington Post Qnd.) says:
The North American plumbers eyre
giously in relation to slavery in the
United States and our great domestic
war. 1t says that the undoubted will
ingness of many negroes to continue as
slaves did not stop this nation from
making fearful sacrifices in the asser-
ton of a great moral and political prin-
ciple' The only construction which
that sentence will bear makes the
North American responsible for that
which is VIGOROUSLY untrue. TAis ma
ton did not make fearful sacrifices
or any sacrifices at all for the purpose
of emancipating slaves in the seeded
states. The war was not waged with
any intent of that kind. Emancipa-
ton was an incident of a war whose
sole purpose was to save the Union.
This is familiar history, and it would
be the reverse of complimentary to as
sumo that the North American is ig-
norant of it,"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem. }
says: IAN examination of the pro-
visions of the treaty regulating extra
dition between the United States and
Canada develops the fact that there is
no mention in the recital of crimes for
which guilty parties are to be delivered
up of conspiracy to defraud.' This is
the crime for which Gaynor and Gree e
are indicted. who are now stopping at
hotel in Quebec, and swapping their
fingers at the detectives who have been
put upon their track. The tugitives
are in no apparent danger unless the
United States authorities shall reque st
the Canadian government as matter
of comfy and good neighborhoo1 to
give them up"
The Mobile (Ala.) Register (Dem. }
says: Mr.. Bryan recognizes, no
doubt, that there will have to be a
change. He has done his best and
failed twice. He has not changed his
opinion on public questions and would
rather suffer defeat again than change
1t, but this is no reason why the party
should be held on old lines when the
country has progressed and new issues
are prominent. If a friend-and not an
enemy-points out the way, he will
probably acquiesce. We look, there
fore. to see Mr.. Bryan welcome the
proposed action and encourage il.

WHY THEY OPPOSE RECIPROCITY

Senator Bacon with some other prom
inent Democrats, it is said, win vote
against the proposition to reduce our
tariff on Cuban sugar for the reason
that the sugar trust and not the Gu
ban planters would be benefited.
The charge has been made and re-
iterated many times by the beet sugar
people, that the sugar trust has bought
the entire sugar crop of Cuba for two
years. No evidence of the truth of
this charge has been produced, and
nobody seems to be taking the trouble
to find out whether or not it is true.
Does it not seem as if the charge
should be investigated, particularly as
it promises to influence the votes of
a number of senators and representa-
tives?
1t would not be a difficult matter
to find what the truth is. The presi-
dent of the sugar trust could be called
before committee of the Senate au-
thorized to make an investigation, and
asked the question direct, or Gen.
Wood could be instructed to inquire
of the largest planters in Cuba, wheth-
er or not they have disposed of their
sugar crop for this year and next to
the sugar trust.
The amount which it is proposed to
give to Cuba is many millions of dol
lars year. The American people
would not like the money to go into
the treasury of the sugar trust. They
are willing that the Cuban planters
shall have it and distribute it among
their laborers, but they would want
to punish somebody if they should dis
cover, at some future time, that the
sacrifices they had made had been for
the benefit of the sugar trust.
1t may be that Senator Bacon has
more information on this subject than
he has given to the public. If he APP
proved the reducing of our tariff on
Cuban sugar as a means of assisting
Cuba, he would hardly oppose a bill
for that purpose on an unsupported
charge that the sugar trust and not
the Cuban people would be benefited.
The charge therefore must have pretty
strong support. The public would like
to have the facts.

whose severe illness is at present caus-
ing such grave anxiety. Her individu-

always agree with him in his views.
In fact, she most strenuously opposed
his TRADE against the copyright system.
Neither is she a blind admirer of the
Counts style and stories, but often
freely and somewhat warmly attacks
both, the result being a rather heated
argument. The Countess is a woman
of broad training and ripe education.

her ability, she is the type of woman

her husbands kind, one who would be
able to further the best in his and both

THE MISSISSIPPI MOVEMENT.


Mr.. Bryan seems disposed to treat
the McAllister resolution passed by the
Legislature Of Mississippi recently
rather lightly. The purport of the res
olution. it will be recalled. was that
the South enter into political and
business alliance with the North and
East.
Mr.. Bryan, in the current number
of his paper. the Commoner. says the
purpose of the resolution was to place
the Mississippi Democracy on the side
of the reorganizers, and to declare
against the Kansas City platform. In
the course of his article Mr.. Bryan
says: Those who supported the reso-
luton made the very common mistake
of assuming that the Democrats who
betrayed their party can again secure
the confidence of the Democratic vot-
ers without repentance or reformation.
Like all who adopt the 'anything-to-
win policy they ignore the honest de-
votion to principle that actuates the
rank and file of the party.
ton has never been submitted to the
Democrats of Mississippi: they have
never authorized their legislators to
make such an announcement. 1t is
purely the individual opinion of those
who voted for the resolution"
1t is no doubt true that the Legisla-
ture was not authorized to adopt such
a resolution. but 1t did adopt it, and
its adoption undoubtedly means that
very great change has taken place
in the political sentiment of the Dem
ocrats of Mississippi since the last
presidential election. Then the senti-
ment was that which was voiced by
Mr.. Bryan. Now, if the adoption Of
the McAllister resolution by the Leg
islature means anything, it is that
which is voiced by Mr.. Hill of New
York and Mr.. German of Maryland.
Mr.. Bryan tries to make it appear
that the Legislature did not voice the
sentiment of the Democrats of the
state. 1t may be that it did not, but
there is no doubt that it thought it
did. 1t would hot have dared to adopt
the resolution if it had not felt GER
tain that it expressed the sentiment of
the Democratic party.
The resolution was introduced sew
eral weeks before it was acted upon.
No doubt the members of the Legisla-
ture talked with their constituents
about it. Assuming they did, the
unanimity with which they passed it
indicated that they knew they had the
approval of the great majority of the
Democrats of the state.
In Washington the other day Mr.
Bryan was asked whether he would be
candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for President. He was quoted
as saying that he was not prepared
to speak about that matter. This was
the first intimation that he has an
ambition in that direction. 1t would be
mistake for him to seek the nomi-
nation. He would not come anywhere
near getting it. but he might make it
extremely difficult for Democrats to
get together. In order for Democrats
to be successful in 1904, they must
have harmony among their leaders and
in their ranks. All the signs indicate
that they could not be harmonized UNI
der the leadership of Mr.. Bryan.
