Why the senate is UnpopuIar.

Walter Wellman seems 10 hit the
nail on the head when in writing to
the Chicago Record-Herald on the dis
agreement between President ROose-
welt and the senate, he SAYS:
Senators often ask the question:
Why is the senate so unpopular? Why
does the country support President
Roosevelt when he is wrong. as he
was wrong on the arbitration treaties.
and condemn the senate when il is
right?' Senators ought TO know the
answer. They ought to know that the
country is just little out of patience
with their close corporation methods
of doing business, with their elaborate
continuance for magnifying the power
of the individual members of the body,
with their scheme Of delay and their
artfulness in eyading compliance with
public opinion. Just now a great ma
jority of the public believes the presi-
dent is right in his desire to go ahead
and do the business of the country
that needs doing, ard they blame the
senate for blocking the way.
The public. moreover, has an ink
ling of the fact that in the last analysis
the senate is a body manipulated by
d very small number of men. It would
be easy for the well-informed observer
TO pick 10 men who rule the senate in
all important matters of policy. And
if the senate can carry out it's purpose
TO make itself actually the ruling body
in American affairs, more powerful
than the house and more powerful than
the executive, then, instead of a gov
eminent by parliament, we have actu-
ally government by a little oligarchy
of 10 seated in the upper branch of
congress. Nothing constructive can
pass without their approval. They
hold the veto power over both the
other branches of the legislative depart
ment of the government"

and much of it comes from Chicago,
where Senator Cullon is comparatively
weak. The Tribune rather expects Mr..
Hamlin TO be the junior United States
senator from Illinois after March j.
1897. Still, political soothsayers are

ion must be considered an obiter die

The attitude of the Tribune is sim

German and Bonaparte.

Mr.. Charles j. Bonaparte, secretary
of the navy and chief fulminator for
the publication Of politics by the appi-
cation of the bright themes of Euclid
to the applicant for the position of
waste-paper chaser for Uncle Sam, is
opposed to the inquisition of an edu-
cational test for voting in Maryland.
On the other hand, Arthur Pugh Cor
man, who never believed that knowl-
edge of the Data of Ethics was es-
sential to the holding of office, is MAX
ing the welkin weary with his insis-
tence that it is dangerous to, permit
people who cannot read, write, spell
and punctuate, OF who split their IN
tinitives, to vote in his Maryland.
Logically Mr.. German should be for
the people, for the free ballot and for
as many of them as a man can con-
veniently cast in a single days work,
while Mr.. Bonaparte should be where
MI. German is, contending for the edu-
cational qualification of voters. 1t
washwomen, messengers and chauffeurs
are made more expert in their service
to their country by acquaintance with
the height Of Mount Everest and the
nodes of the moon, then the voters OF
Maryland, by the same token, will cast
more beautiful ballots if they cast them
in the full knowledge that the yarn
about the gulf streams effect on the
climate of England is fake. Culture s
garland should as surely decorate the
brow of those who hire the scrubladiei
Il. e., the sovereign "peepul') as il
should dangle over the nose of thu
scrublady herself.
In order to make Maryland politics
more Ineligible to the outsider, Cor
man and Bonaparte should chang
places.

Scrihner's.

At last we are to be admitted to the
home life of an Arab. Doffing our
slippers, we were ushered through the
low, dark doorway into little court
with a room on either side. The wife
was seated on the ground in a most
picturesque costume of dark colors,
without a veil, preparing the evening
meal. Hanging on the mud walls were
various pans and cooking utensils, some
of which were bronze, others terra Gotta.
On the floor was a brass mortar and
pestle used for pulverizing the coffee.
Over the fire was a large earthenware
dish in which a fiat cake was being
cooked. Both husband and wife were
so grateful to the great magician who
had cured their son that all convention
alities were discarded and we all sat
en- famille and eni oved CONSCIOUS, dates,
figs, native bread and delicious coffee.
After dinner the whole party IN
dulged in cigarette and more coffee:
The wife was really pretty and had
more expression than most women OF
the desert, especially when she gazed at
her son and heir with a mother love
ennobling her dark but handsome feat
ures. Had it been a daughter, all would
have been different, for they are an
unwelcome increase IN the family, neg
lected and ill-treated until they are SOLO
in marriage. a condition still worse I'M
less they bear male children. :
The woman is the beast OF burden,
the drudge and the general utility, slaVe
as well as the banker for the iordly
! husband. who could not be degraded by
such thing as labor.
