THERE is a tide in the affairs of
towns as well as men that must be
taken at the food, to ever amount
to much. The tide in the affairs
of Brownsville has now reached
the point where something must be
done, or a period of stagnation will
result. No town stands still; it
either goes forward, or retrogrades.
We must induce immigration, and
in order to do this we must offer
inducements to actual settlers.
What have you to offer? Let it be
known that you have real estate for
sale at reasonable prices, and you
will do business.

F. W, sEABURY,
POPULAR ELECTION or
SENATOR'S.

The Washington Post suggests
that despite the declaration of the
St. Louis platform, the number of
Democratic Senators who are will
ing to submit their election to a
direct vote of the people is remark
ably small.
From what States do such Unit
ed States Senators come? Practical
ly all the Senators of the Fifty
Eighth Congress are from the
South and practically all the South
ern States elect their Senators by
direct vote of the people, that is to
say, votes for them directly in the
party primaries and decides the
choice before the Legislature meets
and gives the legal status required
by the Constitution.
Colorado, Idaho, Montana and
Nevada are represented in the Unit
ed States Senate by Democrats. In
the first named State Mr.. Teller
was the recognized choice of the
Democrats in the general election,
and the same IS true of Senator
Dubois of Idaho, but the plan of
nominating Senators in the same
way as representatives, has not be
come so general in the North as in
the South, where the Democrats
have already given practical effect
10 the proposed Constitutional
amendment.
The millionaires in the United
States Senate are nearly all of the
Republican party, and it is pre-
sumed that only the millionaires
are able to buy up a State Legisla-
ture and secure an election to the
United States Senate, which they
could not hope to obtain from the
people at the ballot box. As far as
evidenced by public speeches and
the public prints, it is only the
Republicans who oppose the cleo
ton of United States Senators by
popular vote and, contrary to the
by the Post, the num-
Der of Democratic Senators who
would not be willing to submit the
issue of their election to a direct
vote of the people is remarkably
mall.-EXpress.

New York, Dec. 22.-The expected
advance Of 50 ton in bars, piates and

had little Significance.
Interest centers in the steel rail
trade. Some business has been placed
In the west and south. The Vanderbilt
lines are in the market for a total ton

placed in the next 10 days. In the west
one order for 10000 tons has not been

them at 2,250,0 tons.
Some good sized orders are pending
