Beating the Constitution.

THE Oregon experiment Of electing United States
Il senator by popular vote worked on its first app
cation, apparently The republican candidate, Mr.
Bourne defeated Senator Gearin democrat at the re-
cent election AS the majority Of the legislature is re-
publican, it will doubtless carry out the will of the
people and elect Bourne, and the advice of Senator
Gearin to his democratic friends, commendable IN
spirit was in fact entirely unnecessary. T.. ~
The election by the legislature is the only essen
tal thing however, when it to seating senator
at Washington. AS long as the federal constitution
remains unchanged the senators must be elected by
Of the state legislatures and other vote can
have force and effect with congress- Oregons scheme
is all right for getting around the federal constitution
1t has all the sanction Of state law, but is really
extra-lega state law has any business reguat-
ing the manner Of electng senator. If the legls-
lature should choose to elect other man than
Bourne there would be redress for him. The popu-
lar vote just taken would have no weight with the
senate The Oregon scheme, the practice of several
southern states and the Minnesota action in nominal
ing senatorial candidate at the state convention are
ali devices to take power away from the legislature
which has resided there too long. 49,.
1t did not take the nation long to riddle the dream
of deberative electoral college for the selection Of
a PRESIDENT, but it has taken us 1ls years to get
around to the point of multiplying state legislature 8

The Bialystok Horrors.

u thrilled with horror the whole civilized Worlds
They have extorted from the dgnifed and conserva-

sense Of the people Of the United States IN relation
thereto The passage Of this resolution IS an

Grouchy and Waterloo.

THE anniversary of Waterloo could not pass with
- out renewal Of the discussion Of Grouchy and
his failure to the scratch at the crisis OF the
battle Grouchy might well plead that he is out OF
politics as for being let alone, but 1t would
scarcely avail It is not that the world is 50 avldy
bent on the destructive analysis Of Grouchy as it is
drawn by the speculation as to what would have oc-
CURED had Napoleon the battle OF Waterloo.
Grouchy is merely necessary incident.
The most conservative military critics are OF the
opinion that he would simply have the battle OF
Waterloo. That he would have been enabled to make
second stand against the allies is doubtful and tnat
he would have been able to beat back the whole OF
Europe is hardly believable.
Two things were in the way OF the last result,
First Napoleon by his many campaigns had DRAINED
France Of its fighting They were mostly IN
hospitals under the sod. Thousands OF them were
rotting unburied the plains of Russia Other tnous
ands made mounds in the depths of Prussia Austria
and Spain France, from having been the frst mill
tary power of Europe rapidly deterioratng thru
the process Of exhaustion This not true OF the
allies Russia had scarcely touched her surplus popu.
lation She had forests of men who had crossed
their own boundaries. True they were not the kind
Of soldiers to match for against the veter-
ans of France, but they would serve and they were
being increasingly better led. But Russia had not
even been called upon for Waterloo That battle was
fought by English, Belgians and Prussans They
outnumbered the French and it is commonly believed
now outgeneraled them too.
The second element in the contest was tnaE at
Waterloo Europe had given up the idea that Napoleon
was possibility as sovereign in the European fam
lily Of nations. He had been backballed The escape
from Elba had senced his friends and let loose MS
enemies and thenceforward there was nothing TOT
Napoleon but to the knife and the kniIe TO the
hilt Victory for Napoleon at Waterloo would have
been empty far practical results were concerned
