PreroaatiXe.

Both senate and house appear sud
denly jealous as to their prerogatives-
the senate jealous of the president, the
house jealous Of the senate. The house
took its stand against the senate en-
croachment In the matter of the draw
back on wheat by almost unanimous
vote, only five members dissenting,
while on the arbitration treaties the
senate took Its stand against what 1t
claims is executive encroachment by
the decisive vote Of so to 0, thereby
amending the treaties by the substitu-
tion OF the word treaty" for the word
agreement" which to the unlnitlated
appears a small difference, but which
is really deep as well and wide as
ed to offer the amended treaties to
foreign powers, and hereafter they will
remain as mere reminders Of the point
at which the road forked, the Repub-
lican president travelling one path and
the Republican senate another The
contention Of the house is that In the
wheat drawback amendment to the
agricultural bill the senate attempted
to originate revenue measure, q per-
formance forbidden by the constitu-
iion, as that document confers upon
the house the sole power to originate
revenue measures. The house cannot
back down with any self respect 1t Is
pretty quarrel as 1t stands, or, more
properly speaking, there sse two pretty
quarrels.

The Standard Oil.

Blse Campbell resolution with refer
ence to the Standard Oil trust recently
passed by the house of representatives
and the presidents order to Mr.. Garfield
to collect evidence in that connection
will perhaps settle the question once
for all whether the government can
really destroy or regulate the trusts,
for to all other trusts the Standard
Oil stands In the same relation that
Aaron's rod stood to all other rods. If
the Standard Oil trust can be throttled,
80 can all the others, but the signs of
the times indicate that those interested
in the trusts do not believe that they
can be throttled, for the making of
new trusts goes merrily on. On the
passed the Campbell resolution new
steel trust was formed with huge
capital. But the passage Of the Camp
bell resolution, together with other re-
cent happenings, shows that at last the
people are waking up all along the line
propose to discover some means to
aDate II. Even some Republicans ap-
pear to be In earnest In the matter.
Mr.. Campbell is from southeastern
Kansas, region of marvellous natural
wealth. Southeastern Kansas and
southwestern Missouri furnish the
world with the bulk Of the zinc con-
sumed. Natural gas and oil have been
discovered in amazing quantities. The
Standard OIL company proposed to It,
self to reap all the profits Of the Kan
sas oil fields, to which Mr.. Campbelrs
constituents naturally and vigorously
object; hehce the resolutions. The Kan
sans are an inflammable folk. They are
Republicans by large majority, but a
few years ago they kicked out of Re
publican traces, and they are likely to

measure of relief from the extortions

pacity, or rather incapacity, for self
government; also as to the rapid
growth of the Monroe doctrine in scope
and In power. The presidents action in
transmitting the protocol to the senate
dissipates the fear that he was trying
to act independently of the senate In
the case and places the whole situation
before the country in most luminous
manner. That 1t Is step Of far reach
ing consequences must be apparent
even to the dullest mind. We are doing
this thing, IL we do 1t at all, at the ear
nest and repeated solicitation of the gov
ernment of Santo Domingo. If, howev-
er, we take charge Of her financial af-
fairs, why should we not also take
charge in the same way of all the bank
rupt nations Of Central and South
America and of the West Indies? Few
Of them can pay their debts II left to
manage them themselves. Their over
sea creditors are clamorous for settle
ment and threaten all sorts of things.
There can be no question that if we
take over the financial difficulties of
Santo Domingo we have entered upon
course which will lead us to assume
suzerainty or overlordship of all the
bankrupt governments on this conti-
nent, just as by the Platt amendment
we assume and are exercising 1t over
Cuba. That we would give them a bet
ter administration Of their financial af-
fairs than they now have goes without
cax ht,t hn NE ~
action should give US pause-at least
till such step is most thoroughly con-
sidared and discussed.

~ UR old men shall see vi
sions." Ex-United States
Senator William e. Chan
dler, from New Hampshire,
has been indulging in the exercise of
his powers of vaticination, not greatly
to the delectation of his Republican
friends. In fact, he is likely to be con-
sidered by them as sort of male Cas-
sandra. He gives 1t as his opinion that
the people are in earnest about regulat-
ing freight rates, advocates the passage
of the Townsend -Esch bill and winds
up by predicting that unless congress
does something substantial on that sub
ject William Jennings Bryan will be
elected president! 1t will not do to say
that Mr.. Chandler is mere has-been,
for he is now holding the lucrative and
honorable position of chairman of the
commission to settle Spanish war
claims. Mr.. Chandler has had some ex-
perience with railroads himself. In
fact, when he was defeated for re-elec-
tion to the senate he telegraphed a
friend here as follows: II have been re-
moved by railroad trainw Whether
his natural desire to get even has any
thing to do with his prophesying this
deponent saith not because he knoweth
not.

"At Too Great Risk"

Under the above caption the Post
Standard of Syracuse, N Y, thus edi-
t0rlally moralizes on the presidents
recent visit to 'Little Hungary
Now that It is all ended. and safely end
ed, may 1t not be worth while to remark
that incidents like the presidents visit to
the lower east side In New York involve a
degree Of personal peril which a wise
prudence can hardly approve7
Vital national and material interests as
well as the presidents life are endanger-
ed and in thus deliberately tempting the
madness OF madmen the game seems hard
ly worth the candle.
Who will say that the Post-Standard
10 wrong In the opinions set forth In
that brief paragraph? Does 1t not
speak the words Of truth and sober
ness? The president is brave-of course
he is--but courage cannot ward on the
blow Of the assassin. Lincoln and Gar
field and Mckinley were also brave

Cranks' and semllunatics we have with
us always, like the poor. and the very
presence of secret service men, police
and military guards Is like as not to
inspire some crack Drained person to
try to picked of the president at long
range Just to see IL he can do 1t. Sur

made up his mind for any reason to as

way despite all the guards that can
be placed around him.

preventative Russell, the deter
mined foe of the Anti.Saloon Lea
que, may again be factor in the
fight. He was turned down after
his first term but came to life, and
took the scalp of the man who
whipped him, much to the disgust
of the league. He will be opposed
by A. j. Green, of Salem, and O.
H. Stewart, of Middleport. w.
w. Brown was in the fight for a
time, but is said to have with
drawn, leaving the contest three
corned one. The first open scrap
for Legislative nomination will
take place tomorrow in Miami
County, where primary election
is to be- held to select delegates to
a convention to be held at Troy on
Saturday. The open candidates
for Representative are ex-Sheriff
7. w. Aswerth and HI. j. Ritter,
and they will probably fight it out
between them, although there has
been talk of naming General w.
P. Orr or j. w. Stillwell. Up to
date there has been but one cam
didate for the General Assembly
named-C. F. Smith of Wyandot,
who was renominated by acclama-
tion on February "a for second
term.
The fact that Senator David III.
Moore of Athens County, was
caller upon Governor Herrick to-
day before his departure for Wash
ington served to bring out the in
formation that Mr.. Moore, was
successful at the meeting of the
Senatorial Committee of his dis
trict at McConnelsville yesterday.
His friends were in control, and
attended to the making of the ar
rangements. Moore is a candidate
for third term, and his friends say
that he will make the rifle success
fully.
One of the surprises of politics
in the northwest is that Repub-
lican should be found working tn
get the senatorial nomination in
the Thirty second District. News
has reached here that farmer Re-
preventative Summer E. Walters
of Van Vert, is laying plans to get
the nomination. The district was
once looked upon as hopelessly
Democratic, but in the Roosevelt
slump last November it went 1900
Republican. IL must, be that Mr..
Walters thinks that it will repeat
this performance.

1t is said that the only request made
Of the prison authorities by Augustus
w. Machen, once the powerful chief
of the great division of the postoffice
department which controls rural deliv-
cry business, now a convict in the peni
tentlary at Moundsville, w. Va, was
permission to take his books, particu-
larly his Greek and Latin books, into
captivity with him. hope this request,
unusual among those doing time, was
granted. The qualification Of Mr..
Machen in that regard can do no harm
may do much good. He has splendid
mind. What pitiful conclusion to his
ambitions is Moundsville pr1son--if it
be the conclusion. But will it be? Not
necessarily. One of the most success

a century served two years In the Mis-
souri, penitentiary when youth fer

great courage. So, when his term ex-

state prison, went to work, led q

Machen may be able to follow his ex-
ample, for his ability none will deny.
His love of books Is rather pathetic un-
der the circumstances, but he may con-
sole himself with the fact that two of the
most popular books in the wide, wide
world-"Don Quixote' and "Pilgrim!s
Progress'-were written within prison
walls. Perhaps Mr.. Machen will thus
1mmortalize himself. Even well writ

Roosevelt, but cranks abound, and,
much as he delights to see the people
and to mingle with them-a feeling
greatly to his credit-and as much as
they like to see and hear him, he owes
it to his country to take the best possi-

to "Little Hungary" which turned out
SO well, thing happened which illus
trates the futllity Of secret service men.
At one point the president escaped the

their horror, and spent n few free and

his old friends of the mounted police

Columbus, Ohio March at is
political axiom in Ohio that
Lieutenant Governors are selected
not nominated. This is especially
true of Republican candidats for
that office. After the first place
is filed the political managers pro-
ceed to make balance, the aim
being to choose as the nominee for
the second place some one who
will make up the deficiencies of
the gubernatorial candidate or add
to the strength geographically of
the ticket. This is the situation
existing to-day in the Republican
camp. There have been large
array of names presented for con-
sideration, but the men who will
run the convention have not yet
laid their heads together to make
their selection. In the meantime
the various localities are develop
ing suitable material. Yesterday
the name of General S. H. Hurst,
of Chillicothe, was brought for.
ward, General Hurst has many
qualities of good candidate.
He is an old soldier, a prominent
Grand Army man working tenn
perance promoter and first class
stump speaker, being type of
Republican that is fast passing
away. To-day the visit to Theo-
dore X. Funk, Of Portsmouth, gave
rise to the rumor that he would be
willing to take the place if it came
to him in the usual way.
The Republican State Conven-
tion will not be until the first or
second week in June according to
the present program, giving the
managers three full months to root
around for good man.
1t may be that the possible can
didacy of Representative Carmi
Thompson, Of Lawrence County,
for the Speakership of the next
House may be hampered by fight
against him for the nomination for
a second term. 1t is understood
that John w. Mcconnell, who was
a member of the General Assembly
some years ago, has about decided
to make the race against Thomp-
son, even though the latter has
had but one term and under the
rule is entitled to another. Mat
ters are dreadfully mixed in Law
erence County, fight to the death
having been begun against "Rom"
johnson, for many years the boss
in the Republican ranks. Concer-
ned in it are Senator A. D. Bruce
and Colonel H. X. Marting, who
once were with johnson. If John
son wins out Brucs' senatorial seat
will be taken from him and he will
be turned out as yearling.

torial district, there is a lively
