United States Senators.

The Democratic Caucus of the Tennessee

two weeks ago. Gov. Frazier will be elected
next Tuesday.
The Delaware Legislature has not succeeded
in choosing Senator, Addicks still holding
enough members to deadlock the situation.
The Missouri Legislature has not elected a
Senator. The Republicans are dividing their
votes among several candidates. Speaker
Hill said he had been accused of deserving the
caucus nominee, and said the caucus nominee
has released him. And he caused sensation
and almost a riot among the Republicans by
adding that he would further desert and vote
for Democrat before he would allow the
session to expire without electing Senator.
A Republican member OF the House requested
the Speaker TO resign his seat.

SATURDAY, MARCH IS, 1905.
Nominate a Straight Democrat.

Several candidates are in the field in Balti-
timore for the State Senate to succeed John
Gill, who was elected to Congress last fall.
The Democrats should nominate candidate
of high character and ability, and straight
Democrat. Don't select a man too young.
The elevation of young men to place and IN
huenee often causes an enlargement of the
head, and they assume too much and want to
Jump to the lead as soon as sworn IN, and
sometimes before. There have been two cases
of the kind from Baltimore. In 1896 Baltl.
more Senator conceived the idea of being
President of the Senate. He would not enter
a Democratic caucus, for he knew he could
not win there, aud stood aloof, willing to take
the election from the Republicans, which his
own vote could accomplish. The Democrats
elected him to hold him to. the party so far
as possible. In the House, at the session OF
1902, member from Baltimore, who was
totally without legislative experience, became
impressed with the belief that he should be
elected Speaker. He was not chosen, and be
spent his time and talents in doing all ne could
to defeat and embarrass the Democratic ma
iarity Therefore, the Democrats should be
careful in selecting successor to Mr. Glil.
Don't mind Oser's assertion that man Is at
his best before the age of forty years, nor that
he should be killed at sixty. Nominate a
Democrat who can be depended upon to sus.
tain the party.

Cannon Exoommunicated.

SALT LAKE CRY, UTAH, March 1.-THE
controversy of former United States Senator
Frank J. Cannon, editor of the Salt Lake
Tribune, with the authorities Of the Mormon
Church, an incident of which was the with
drawal of fellowship from Mr.. Cannon by the
bishops court at Ogden, resulted today in a
formal order from the high council of the
Weber Stake at Zion. in Utah. sitting IN Og
den. accommodating Mr.. Cannon from the
church.
The action was based on editorials written
by Editor Cannon assailing the policy Of the
higher authorities ofihe church. Mr.. Cannon,
protesting against the jurisdiction Of the tribu
nal which tried him under charges ofaposlasy
and disloyaliy to the church, admitted The
authorship of the editorials complained ofand
insisted that be should be permitted to prove
the truth OF the assertions which he had made.
This point the ecclesiastical cour, declined to
coucede, aud the orders Of disfellowship and
decentralization followed.

Henry George, of New York, the once
well known writer on taxation, &c, favored
municipal ownership of street car lines and
free service to the people. His theory was
that free street cars would relieve the conges-
ton of Population in the lower part of the city,
the emptying to large degree of large tene
ment houses, aud the scattering of the people
to new territory northward He believed the
increased value of property for taxable pur-
poses thus settled would in large degree pay
the interest on the cost OF the railroads and
their operation. He did not live to see his
theory adopted, but something along his line
of theory is now being discussed-free ferries.
