should hold over and that Messrs. For
sythe and Winters would have to 60
into court to seek recognition as
qualified members. 1t is likely that
the matter will be ne for the supreme
court to settle.

Corporations and Individuals.

According to the statements of the demagogue, a corporation is but syn onym for rapacity and greed. But demagogues have difficulty in making their assertions square with the facts as brought out by the coal famine in the east. Railroad corporations are to- day charging five dollars per ton (2,24O lbs) for coal at tide-water, while the independent companies and private in- dividuals are charging ten dollars, eleven dollars, and as much more as they can get, for the same quantity.
 Reports from all sections where the coal famine prevails are of the same tenor. In no instance can extortion be charged to the railroads and the great corporations engaged in handling coal. The robbery is all perpetrated by local concerns, individuals and firms, who have taken advantage of the scarcity of coal to put the screws on consumers.
 The fact is, when a howl against corporations" is made by an honest man it is nine times out of ten the out cry of ignorance; and when it is made by the demagogue and the grafter. level-headed people should refuse to be stampeded.
 When any citizen of the United States undertakes an enterprise which is too large for his individual strength, his first thought is to form a corpora tion, or to seek assistance from a cor poration already formed.
 Had all enemies of corporations sue ceeded in having their way, Arizona until now would have been little more than breeding place for Apaches.

eject Congressman Roberts from his seat in the house of representatives. will protest against the seating or Shoot
 For awhile, it was supposed that the opposition to Mir Shoot had been si- fenced by the statement that he is not Q polygamist in practice. especially when it was pointed out in his behalf that his case was not on all-fOurs with that of Roberts. Roberts was proved to be a pOlygamist, and upon tha; ground he was excluded from congress. although there had been no question as to the legality of his election, and it has oeen assumed generally that Shoot would be regarded in different light. But the reply has been promptly mace that Mir. Shoot is, if possible, a worse offender than was Roberts, since. whereas Roberts was a mere individual and was guilty of practicing pClygamy personally, Shoot as one of the apos- ties Of the Mormon church is chargea- blH with upholding the practice as an article of faith and is largely responsi- ble for the practice by the membership that, in other words, Smoot is at fault in not seeing to it that the practice OF polygamy is not abandoned in Utah.
 It is, of course, impossible to predic: what the attitude of the senate will be toward this contention. The senate has always been very jealous of is prerogatives. and is never disposed to permit outsiders to interfere with it's affairs. It is the sole judge of the quaI- ifications of it's members, and it may choose to ignore the clamOr for the re- jection of Senator Shoot. The argu- ments in favor Of seating the new sen tor will be strengthened by the fact that there has been no suspicion of cor 1uption in connection with his election. and by the further fact that personally he is an estimable citizen and a gaat:c- man.

 Sensible South Americans.

Argentina and Chile are relatively poor nations. The former has Gevel- ope5 rapidly. but it has met with mis- fortunes which have rot given it financial and commercial progress ac- cording to the measure of its increase in population. Chile. on the ether hand, has been growing bat slowly and is today less prosperous than when 1t seized the famous nitrate beds to guarantee itself against bankruptcy. On these accounts the agreement which the countries have entered into to dispose of their warshirs is matter regarding which they are to be con graduated They have been angry about territory during the last fifteen years. and as this jealousy is now at an end they will not need their war ships. They have some excellent ones, by the way, which would not discredit the best navy in the world.

discussion of the matter. Some of them wanted to substitute a resolution ad- vocating the admission of Oklahoma, but it was finally decided that the com mittee on federal relations be in structed to bring in a report adverse to the resolution. Emmons, a minority member, will endeavor to make scene by supporting a minority report, but the action of the caucus settles the matter.
 '" Tt was not a question of what our personal opinions may be in this mat ter. said Senator Hahn tonight. It was a political trick, pure and simple We cannot afford to have the repub- lican party in California taking any at titude which is opposed to the stand taken by the president, and on that basis the caucus decided that the reso- lution was not to be adopted
 Had the resolution prevailed it would have placed Senator Bard of California in an uncomfortable hole. for it would have shown that the United States senator from Hueneme misrepresents his constituents. As the Times naively admits that the resolution would pre- vail if it came to an open question on the floor of the senate" it was up to the Bard crowd to do some thimble- rigging. Bard and the Los Angeles Times are the only influences in Cali fornia against the omnibus bill. and the underground wire running from Bard to the Times and from the Times to the fellow Hahn accounts for the readiness with which Hahn bobbed up when the string was pulled. However, the friends of Arizona have accom- plished their main purpose; they have demonstrated that California is for the admission of this territory, and Bard is still further discredited.

Aldrich Buys Some Ccal.

Senator Aldrich. who opposed the suspension of the tariff on coal in the debate in congress last week, has been caught short of fuel at his Warwick Neck castle
 His agent went gunning for the re- Guisite supply in many directions. and finally in the little factory village of Centreville in the Pawtucket valley purchase of several tons was made at S15 q ton with s a ton for carriage. The total price of SIS a ton is one of the highest paid hereabouts since the coal famine became a question of national importance.

Embarrassment for the Bard Push
 in California.

For a week past, as our quotations from the California newspapers have shown, the members of the California legislature have been urgently request ed by their constituents to adopt a resolution requesting congress to pass the omnibus statehood bill. There was no politics in this demand for action by the statesmen at Sacramento, as it was clearly the wish of the people of California to have Arizona admitted, and republican papers insisted even more strongly than the democratic pa pers, that the legislature make a for nal expression of the sentiments of the state on the question.
 In obedience to this general demand, a resolution was introduced in the state senate, and would have been adopted on Thursday had not the en- emies of this territory invoked without authority the name of the president in opposition to the resolution. The resO- lution happened to come from the hands of a democratic member, and this gave a fellow named Hahn from Pasadena a chance to charge that if the motion for adoption prevailed it would give the democrats a lot of glory" This argument appealed to a few mar row republicans, but most effective was the argument that President Roosevelt was opposed to the omnibus bill. Even then, it was only possible to defeat the friends of statehood by resorting to q caucus.
 The Los Angeles Times, in a special dispatch from Sacramento, gives this account of the affair:
 Senator Hahn of Pasadena turned neat little political trick today, by which he deprived the democratic min ority of an expected opportunity to make political capital at the expense of the majority. It was all about a seem- ingly innocent joint resolution intro duced yesterday by Senator Sanford a democrat, directing that the Califor- mia senators and representatives in congress work and use all possible means to secure the passage of the on- nibus statehood bill, now before con- gress. The resolution seemed inocu- ous, an more of a gallery play than anything else to the majority, who paid but little attention to it. until Sanford tried to have the rules suspended, and the matter immediately considered This the senate refused to do, but re- ferred it to the committee on federal relations, of which Hahn is chairman
 Last night Hahn saw the joker in the thing. If the resolution prevailed the democrats would have much unde- served glory. That it would prevail if 1t came to an open question on the floor of the senate was manifest, and Hahn therefore decided that it would be better for the republican majority to get together and consider the reso- lution in caucus. Otherwise the repub- Hcan majority might be placed in false light, and might be subjected to some ridicule.
 Accordingly q caucus was held this afternoon. At first some of the sena- tors did not know what it was all about ] ut when it was explained 70 them that by adopting the resolution they would be opposing the policy of the executive of the nation. they woke up, and for an hour there was d lively
