James A. HemenWay.

Mr.. Hemenway, it would appear, is to sue
coed Mr.. Fairbanks in the Senate He has
won notable prize. and over an excellent
field of aspirants. He is amply qualified for
the place, and should give as good an ac-
count of himself in the upper as he has done
in the lower house of Congress. Indiana for
a great many years has been represented in
the Senate by men of conspicuous ability
and influence. Both parties have risen to
the occasion. Hendricks, and Mcdonald,
and Turpie. and voorhees, on the one side,
and Morton. and Harrison, and Fairbanks,
and Beverage on the other have reflected
great credit on their constituents, and help
ed shape a good deal of legislation. Mr..
Hemenway. therefore. has his name added
to an eminent list, and has place of i'm
portance to fill. The selection is as good on
geographical as on other grounds. Mr..
Fairbanks and Mr.. Beverage both reside in
Indianapolis. Mr.. Hemenway resides in
Boonville. which is in the southern part
of the state, and both ends of the state will
thus be recognized in the new arrangement.

Gold Standard in Mexico.
, New York Journal of Commerce

From the New York Journal of Commerce,
The influence of the adoption of the gold
standard upon Mexico will be more far
reaching than has been generally appre-
ciated. Apparently, it's possibilities have
been more quickly grasped in England,
where Mexican securities and investments
are largely held, than they have yet been
in this country. The immediate effect will
be felt In stimulating both the export and
import trade of Mexico by reason of the
stability in exchange operations which will
take the place of the uncertainty which has
heretofore prevailed. Importers In Mexico
have been living from hand to mouth for
several years under the constant fear that
exchange might f1uctuate within a few
weeks by 20 to 30 points and wipe out any
reasonable profit upon the gold price Of
their goods. The railroads have been In an
even worse position, because unable to adj
just their freight and passenger charges
promptly to the ups and downs of the ex-
cnange market. Subject as they were to
maximum freight rates fixed by the gov
eminent. they were relieved in only a mod
crate degree in the spring of 1903 by permis-
sion to raise these rates. The adoption Of
the gold standard insures permanent basis
OF freight and passenger charges and a.
means OF calculating the future with a cer-
tainty which will permit extensions and i'm.
Drovements.

Municipal Ownership in England,

Municipal ownership has lately become
widely popular in England Late reports
from there indicate that the desire to ex-
tend the city's activities and powers has
developed some strange results. which are
not wholly to the liking of the fnanciers
and the real friends of this method of sup
plying the people with certain of their
needs In its inception municipal own
ership was applied in theory and to a less
degree in practice to the public-service ia
cihtics. the street railways and the light
ing and power plants. The economy and
efficiency of this method were amply dem
Isles But recently the idea has expanded
until now many of the English cities are
engaging in municipal trades as well as the
maintenance of the service facilities They
nave gone In for banks, for stores, and have
even proposed concert halls coal wards
bakeries. ice manufactures and excursion

Cider Runs Amuck.

An unusual story of the day. or of the
other day. is one which appeared under the
heading Cider Causes Riot" The story
recites that:
AT dinner party held in the farm house
OF Joseph Ridersea, at North Castle. Pa.
the men, all Poles, drank so much hard
cider that riot took place. in which twelve
guests were injured Three of them are in
hospital and are not expected to live. So
far as the police have been able to learn.
cordwood sticks. knives and clubs were the
weapons. The heads of many of the party
were battered and their noses broken, while
one mans ear was torn on
This news is sensational. 1t is apt to be
accepted as sign of degeneracy Of the
times when friendly and peaceable old
drink like cider raves in madness and goes
into the business of promoting riots.
IT may be urged that cider began Its
wicked career at an early age-that cider.
In combination with pulp and woman. was
the starting point of all our trouble. The

The Session.

The cloak-rooms of the two houses will
be the interesting places at this session OF
Congress. Nothing exciting is promised in
the business to be transacted. Supply bills
are not as rule good texts for great de-
bates exciting set speeches. and 1t
seems to be admitted that outside of the
supply bills little if anything will be done
this winter. Fiftyodd working days will
afford no more than enough time for voting
the government the money required for its
needs. Business, then, largely of a routine
and humdrum nature will occupy the at
tention of the statesmen in the Committee
rooms and on the floors of the two cham
bers
But in the cloak rooms conversation will
be free, and much of 1t should be very en-
PERTAINING. There will probably be good
deal of visiting by the members of the two
parties. The result at the polls was so
overwhelming 1t should contribute to good
nature. Said Chairman Cowherd to Chair
man Babcock in a telegram when it was
apparent that the republicans had swept
the deck. Leave US enough for seed"
That gave the cue for the feeling that now
exists Such a result begets philosophy on
the part of the losers, and kindness on
the part of the winners. 1t looks like fate
and less like everyday human agency. The
members who fell in the fray may recount
without apology their experience with the
steam roller, which had the right of way.
1t Is all in lifetime. Some of the men
who will retire In March may be expected
to return after things right themselves.
The one-sidedness of the present situation
will not last, and in the country's interests
should not last. There will be cakes and
ale for shrewd and capable and broad
gagged democrats after March 4. They
will find their way after time back to the
old hunting grounds, and maybe a little i'm
proved for their enforced vacation. A rest
ing spell often helps a.Is,ts4-r .z%
As for the others-for those who are TAX
ing their leave for good-they VIII find
much to cheer them in private life in the
recollections Of their experiences in public
life. 1t is something to have served term
as senator or representative in Congress.
The distinction helps law practice, or a
business engagement, in a small city or
town, and it calls out the local band and
the lodges of the different societies ON the
day of the ex-members funeral. Although
we sometimes have difficulty in reading the
particular edict everything works to some
good end in this world.

the apple is against cider. OF course. some
persons say that the apple OF Eden was
either an orange or pomegranate. but that
is aside from this discussion. 1t Is clear
|, that cider has such responsibility as great
age and remote ancestry give, and though
X began its career by causing discord m
Eden, yet for centuries it has assumed such
mild manner and its favor has been so
bland that the world long ago ceased to
suspect II of such craft and cruelty as It
displayed at North Castle.
But let us not be too hard even on hard
cider. This North Castle cider may be but
a single instance Of atavisn, or reversion to
the ancestral type, of the Snake-Talk brand
used in Eden Or 1t may be that it was not

and a corresponding scarcity of money for
loans.
As a direct result municipal and county
taxation has increased materially and al
ready the rate-payers of England are COM
planning of the burden they are carrying.
They are beginning to wonder IL the pro-
cess has not been unwisely extended. IL the
cities did not err in departing from the
legitimate scope of the municipalizatiQn
idea. But the advocates of the system are
pleading for time for these enterprises to
justify themselves in the lowered cost OF
living II the municipality operates it's en-
terprises as a money-making scheme 1t may
more than balance the books with the in
come from them and so ultimately lower the
tax rates.
Thus the spectacle presents two phases of
great interest to Americans, first the finan-
cial effect of the whole development upon
the taxpayer and upon the money market;
second the wisdom of extending the munich
palization idea beyond the confines original
ly laid down for it. There is. an undeniable
basis in logic and equity for the municipal
ownership and operation of the enterprises
which utilize the public spaces, the. street
surface, the ground beneath or the air
above the thoroughfares for tracks. mains,
wires or conduits. But it is grave ques-
ton. indeed, whether it is wise or fair or
safe to set up the city in business either
in competition with other manufacturers
and retailers or in complete monopoly OF
certain branches of trade. The scheme can
be carried easily to dangerous lengths. And
furthermore. with every addition to the
business activities of a city comes an add
ed reason for safeguarding the administra-
A. Cor
maintaining the efficiency of the public
service at an ideal point. English city gov
ernments are now rated high as to their
qualities. but it is a question how far they
can stand the strain that is being put upon
them.
