Elijah the Second" today was
mulcted for $4,000 by a jury in the libel
suit of Samuel Priddle, former mem
Der of the Zion colony. DoWie said:
The devil triumphs occasionally,

of some OF them. All the republican
governors of the state Of New York,
from Edwin D. Morgan in 1858, have
been his friends, and some were po-
litically created by him.
Vice presidents, United States sena-
tors. lieutenant governors, con ngress-
men, state legislators, collectors of
The port Of New York and other fed
eral officers of the stale, judges of The
court Of appeals, sheriffs, county
clerks and county judges and all sorts
and conditions of republican place
holders have owed their elevation to
Mr.. Plat. For thirty years Thur
low Weed shaped the course of the
Whig and republican parties in the
state Of New York. He was succeeded
in direct line by William H. Seward,
Reuben E. Fenton and Roscoe COnk-
ling. Mr.. Platt was the direct pOliti-
cal heir of Mr.. Conkling.
Senator Platt has held but four pub
lie offices In 1858 he was elected
clerk Of Tioga county and filled the
place for three years. In 1872 he
was elected to the forty third con
gresS. In 1874 ne was reelected to
the forty fourth congress, and in 1876
he declined a third nomination. In
1880 he was appointed a quarantine
commissioner for New York harbOr,
and in 1897 he was elected United
States senator to succeed Mr.. Hill,
who has been his political rival for
many years. This year he was re-
elected to the senate without OppOsi-
ton in the ranks of his own party.

EXTRA SENATE SESSION.

President Roosevelt's call for extra session of
the Senate of the Fifty-eighth Congress was made
necessary by the failure of the Republican majority
to dispose of ue most important measures that came
before the Fiftyseventh Congress, about to pass
out of existence
This is the truth of the deplorable situation the
significance of which is emphasized by the Presi-
dents action. The Congress whose term expires this
week has been a costly and unsatisfactory body. 1t
has reached the highwater mark of extravaganza.
the appropriations made during the two sessions
amounting to n total of over $1,000 100000. At the
time it has transacted less important business.
in proportion to the amount that awaited its action,
than any of its predecessors. This is record to be
remembered.
The Republican majority responsible for such a
record cherishes very light regard for its obligation
to the American people. 1t has been more deeply
concerned in serving the trusts The President of
the United States. solictouS for the welfare OF
the country at large than his fellow Republic
ans in the legislative branch of the Government has
found impossible to this majority to proper
performance of duty. He proclaims this truth when
he calls the Senate of the Ffyeighh Congress into
extraordinary session. His call is Indictment Of
his party.
Republican Senators have not hesitated to antago-
nize the President in his effort to facilitate important
legislation. On than one occasion they have
manifested spirit of servility to trust dctation that
seemed to furnish the explanation of their poor ser
vice to the country. 1t is to be hoped that the
Senate of the Fifty-eighth Congress shall be of
different temper There is little ground for such
hope however. The extra session to begin its work
on Thursday will doubtless reveal the fact Of trust
dominance of Republican action plainly as did its
immediate predecessor. The trouble is that the Re
publican party is organized to serve the trusts
not to serve the people.

WORLD'S-t9O4-FAlR.
PERFECTING THE BILL.

I Amendments designed to further improve the JEFF.
ferson Club election bill have been submitted to the
State Legislature by Messrs Lee and Skinker two
members of the clubs general committee.
Most of the amendments refer to typographical
and minor errors and would effect fundamental
change in the measure proper. Probably the most
important is that which expurgates the penalty sec
tons from the election bill, that these sections
may be Incorporated in the general statutes and be
applicable throughout the State.
This bill is excellent in virtually all respects and
would make Of the best laws in the country. The
publicity, registration and penalty provisions are
decided advance similar sections in probably
any and every law of this kind it is not saying too
much at least to there is better bill or law
in any State.
Some objections to 1t have been made by Re
Publican partisans, but the objections offered
without reasons in support of them. They were
founded, apparently, on political grounds. The bill
is before the Legislature its merits and its merits
are open to discussion. Those citizens partisans
who not entirely pleased with the bill should if
they hope TO be believed comment on its provisions
seriatim and give definite for their views.
The bill prepared to insure fairness to all in
elections and it is entitled to respectful comment.
Republican partisans invited to take up section
after section and state specifically what are their
opinions If section be Objectionable, they should
state why; If it be not Objectionable. they should
give just credit. Such discussions invited. They
will disclose the genuine character of the bill.

BOYD INDICTMENT.

In the investigation of vice in the bad districts the
Grand Jury has taken the proper course by finding
bills of Indictment against police officers for neglect
Of duty. Specific charges better than vague
faultfnding.
1t is we'll that before the Worlds Fair period be
gins st. Louis should decide policy Of dealing
with the forms of vice which be regulated and
kept within bounds but not suppressed.
The Grand Jury's decision to present indictments
against policemen beginning with Captain Boyd will
also develop what truth there is in the allegations Of
police connvance. The public will learn whether
the existence Of vice in certain districts is due to
mere policy Of liberation like that which prevails In
all large cities recent compact or series of COM
pacs involving either pecunary political corrup
ton.
These are questions which should be settled. Let
the trial Of Captain Boyd be set at the earliest prac-
ticabe moment.
Meanwhile it is to the credit Of st. Louis that 70
Indictment has been found for corruption and that
so far not fact has been adduced which would sug
gest that vice is ignored protected for consdera-
ton.

speed which can be attained only by underground
and elevated tracks. Yet, as the committee says,
elevated tracks are not desirable in the heart
city and will not be allowed east of Seventeenth
street In the business district subways should be
constructed. Bills authorizing elevated structures
west of Seventeenth street and subways east of
Seventeenth street will be considered
Investors who mean business now understand
what the public requirements are and what projects
the Council will look upon as proper. The public
needs better railway service and the city is ready
to grant privileges under specific conditions In
Calculating its views on this problem the committee
shows high regard for its duty to the public and
the members deserve commentator for their action.
The committee comprises Messrs. w. X. Hodges,
Joseph BOyce and jeremiah Sheehan. Both political
parties represented and oil voters can unite in
commencing these efficient public servants.
