house last Saturday, which was well at
tended The committee ou decorations
mad the hail beautifully decorated. On
the stage there was a forest OF fr trees
with a large elk standing in front, which
was very natural. On one side OF the
opera house large flag was hung, and
streamers OF purple and white were
strung the full length and across the
hall, making in sll very pretty effect.
The dance commenced promptly at s
p. m, and it was noticeable that ell

J. A. Hart delivered the toast and all
the Elks drank to the health OF the sb-
sent brothers.
Messrs. Wickershsm and Smith
played a trombone snd cornet duet,

THE WRECK OF THE MAINE.

Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, has
introduced a bill appropriating 100000
for the removal of the wreckage of the
battleship Maine from the harbor of Ha-
vana. There are good reasons why what
remains of this i'll fated warship should be
taken out of Havana's harbor. In the first
place, the wreckage is an obstruction
which may prove dangerous TO navigation;
in the second place it is Il constant re-
minder of one Of the most dreadful catas-
trophies in the annals Of the American
navy. Finally, the Government should
preserve what is left Of the Maine as a
memorial Of the gallant officers and sea-
men who persisted in disaster without
precedent in the navy.
1t is suggested by the New York Mail
and Express that the removal of the
wreckage of the Maine would enable the
Government to ascertain beyond doubt
whether the batteship was blown up by
an enemy with a torpedo or whether the
disaster was due to an accidental eXplo-
SholtiJ ultCi tiC SdtdSIlppuC W.
Cured board of naval officers conducted
an exhaustive inquiry. While the findings
of the board inclined to the theory that
the destruction of the Maine was the work
of an enemy, its report was not conclusive
1t was assumed by Congress that the ex-
plosion was not the result of accident, but
of design. Whatever information the
Government may have had in addition to
the findings of the naval court of inquiry
has been carefully guarded To the public
the responsibility for the disaster remains
as great mystery today as ever. If the
mystery has ever been solved by the Gov
eminent the secret has been well kept
Our New York contemporary believes it
would do no harm to make careful eX-
animation of the wreckage of the Maine
and establish conclusively what caused
the explosion. If it be shown that the
battleship was destroyed by a mine or
torpedo, no new bitterness against Spain
will be aroused On the other hand, if it
should appear that the catastrophe was
due to an accidental explosion on the
Maine, the United States would have an
opportunity Of which it would pr, mptIy
avail itself to edo justice to a friendly
power by frank acknowledgment of its
not unnatural mistake"
If Senator Lodges bill is passed there
will, of course, be & tho: oush examination
of the wreckage Of the Maine. When that
is done the cause Of the destruction of the
battleshp will probably be ascertained
The result should then be announced by
the Government, if such action can be
taken without disturbing our present
friendly relations with Spain. The truth
of history demands that the mystery be
solved. Diplomacy may not require per-
petual silence = Ettintpt G SIN

1t Is the current report in Washing
ten, says = t ii,TGndria GG.cHc. that
President Roosevelt las received de,
finite and emphatic assurances from
Senator Hanna that he will not be a
candidate ior tie presidential nominal
ton in 1904, but that, on he contrary
be and bis friends will advocate the

Senator Hanna is satisfied, it is said,
to defer his presidential aspirations
for four years, and his friends say
that lie intends to devote much Of his
time to Tie effort Of improving the
relations hctwcen capital and labor,
hoping to win fame ard popularity.
NJ. Hanna, chairman Of the republic
can national committee, and Postmas-
ter General Payne, vice chairman Of
the same committee, are now in favor

THE ELECTION
OF SEN ATOISS.

The Senate having definitely turned
down the resolution of the House propos-
ing to the states a constitutional amend
ment for the election of senators by the
people. the advocates Of this charge will
now have to turn their attention to the
states. 1t was almcSt 4 foregone con-
clrsion that the Senate would not regard
the proposition with favor. The indivi
dual senators hold their seats by an
entirely different tenure, and, though a
number of them would probably tain
them if the amendment became law,
even they may feel doubtful, while some
of them would occasionally fare badly
at the polls. They are evidently not in
clined to take any chances.
The object of those WHO favor the
change in the method of olecting sena-
tors is not blocked by the hostile attitude
of the Senate. They can pursue their
missionary work before the state legis-
latures. A number of the latter have
already voted in favor of the amendment;
that is, they have asked Congress to take
action, which is substantial compliance
with the Constitution. II two-thirds of
the states can be persuaded to ask Con-
gress to call a constitutional convention
the object can be attained. The Senate
is a great stricken for constitutioDality,
and one of the arguments made by Scna-
tor Hoar against the amendment is that
it conflicts with the balance Of the Consti-
tuition. If, therefore, the necessary num-
Der of states ask for a convention the
Senate will be obliged to grant the de-
mand The Constitution is mandatory
on the subject, and requires Congress to
act, and bare ma ority will suffice. 1t
would then be necessary for three fourths
of the states to ratify the conventions
action.
Senator Hoar's contention has been
adopted by some newspapers, but there
does not seem to be anything in it. Even
were such an amendment, as he says, to
conflict with other parts of the Consttu-
ton, the people under the latter would
have an absolute right to make it if they
followed the direction of that instrument
concerning amendments. The question
Of conflict would be one for the courts to
decide, the last expression of the consti-
tutional will CT the people taking prece
dence of former expressions. But the
Senator, in his zeal, appears to have be-
come needlessly alarmed. A state is a
state, whether its will is expressed directly
by the people or by the represent atiyes to
whom they have delegated the expression
of their wishes. This idea of clarifying a
state as some abstract thing above and
beyond the people who make the state
has become far too common. 1t is un-
American, and more opposed to the Ian
guagc and spirit Of the Constitution than
the election Of senators simply by popular
vote, instead of by the complicated ma
chinerY which the statc-the aggregate
of the peoplc-has selected to carry on
the public adminstration.-Bol

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There
is only one way to cure Deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamcd condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumblng sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamad condition of the mucous sur
