NOVELTY IN AMERICAN POLITICS.

The chief interest in the results of the oregon election yesterday lies in the
choice by h eectorso of Governor Chamberlain, a Democrat, for United States
Senator and the election of a State Legislature with a Republican majority.
TmsI Legislature is to elct a United States Senator, and, if the choice by the
people yesterday shall be the choice of the Legislature, there will be presented
the singular spectacle in American politics o a legislature representing on
political party electng a United States Senator representing the opposite party
No state statute can nave any effect Is against the Federal Constitution. That
Instrument vests the election of a United States Senator in the legislature alone,
nd no man eected to the Senate in any other way can be admitted to a seat
4 the Senate unless he shall also have been duly elected by the legislature. II
Legislature chooses to disregard the choice of the people, however it may
e-expRwed, and proceed to elect somebody else his title to the seat would be
unquestoned. 1t is proposed in oregon to strip the Legislature Of it's onsutu-
tfonal power M make it merely go through the form of legaizng the choice
~ the majority of voterso oil election day. However, nature is the same in
politics in oregon as in any other State and it seems doubtful if the newly
hded Legislature will obey the popular mandate Difficulties will be raised,
ere will be legal objections offered, AM maybe there will be litigation. The
Jegon experiment win be watched with the keenest interest by tn whole
country.

WE STAND CORRECTED.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Allow me to correct your statement
regarding the wood piano cases are
made of. Having spent a good part of
my life in the business manufacturing
end), L know whereof I speak.
Cases are never made Of mahogany,
but of white wood. veneered. In the
first place, mahogany might be said to
be as heavy as Iron" instead of as
hard, for it is a soft, heavy wood. Then,
too, it is very scarce, as almost all of
the fine-figured Cuban mahogany is
now shipped to Europe, and then back
here, so, of course, is naturally expen-
sive. Have you eve seen a piece of
solid mahogany furniture with a figure
such as pianos have? No. The pretty
figured pieces are all veneered. the pref
test figures being taken from the
erotches. AS to the r~esounding qualities
of mahogany, l know nothing, as l have
never heard it referred to, for l have
never seen a solid mahogany piano, ex-
cepting a few colonial ones, made as an
experiment by the firm l was with.
These had no figure whatever. The
reason mahogany does not crack easily
is because it is soft. All hardwood, with
the exception of ebony, is more easily
split thar soft wood. READER.

CASEY WOULD NEED THEM.

That prayers are sometimes mis-
placed was proven by a little incident
that occurred a few days ago. During
a neighborly misunderstanding a merry
soul named Casey threw a brick at q
gent named Pat, doing much damage
to the latter and putting him in the
hospital. While calling at the hospital
a preacher went to see Pat.

the parson, II intend to pray with you
that you may forgive Casey for throw
