The point has been made by some OF

iana that he has no right TO call the
state Legislature in special session to
provide means for raising Panama ex-
position guarantee fund of ST,500,0OO
New Orleans wants TO be the site of the
exposition and had arranged TO raise a
fund of S5.OO0000, S4,00G,000 of it
through special local taxation. Congress
has given notice. however, that fund
Of at least 81, 100000 will be required
and session Of the Legislature is nee
essary TO authorize New Orleans to levy
a further tax for exposition purposes.
The Governor has issued a call but its
legality is disputed on the ground that
Mr. Sanders was elected a United States
Senator at the last regular session, and
i therefore incapable Of acting as Gov
ern0r
1t is true that Mr. Sanders cannot be
Governor and United States Senator at
one and the same time. II he should

A SKILLED GENERALiZER.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir. Katherine Busbeys article on Poll
ticiaus' Wives" in the Sunday Magazine
section of The Tribune of this week, out
lines the housekeeping difficulties of Con-
gressmens wives and shows the skill re-
ouired by most of them to make both ends
meet" All this seems to her to be an
argument against adding the supertuous
burden of suffrage TO these women in par
ticular.
Like most people. she is born without the
generalizing faculty, or If she has it 1t is SO
much a victim of that love of preteXt for
repelling the innovation of conscience and
of duty" that Sydney Smith speaks of in
his "Fallacies of Anti-Reformers' that she
is perhaps one of the blind who won't see"
She cannot see that equal political powes
is getting beneath this very thousekeep-
ingl burden and that the sidetracking of
suffrage Is the avoiding of the burden of
this problem by rising above it.
Would those negro servants she speaks
Of be as disloyal if their wages We're bet
ter? Would they leave the house at night
with Bible and hymnal. under one arm and
enough stolen food to feed their back alley
clan under the other" if this were u free
government i'll which humanity was placed
before selhshness instead of IA government
half slave In which the more loyal half
of the black and white races alike are kept
from direct power? 1t is this hallway free
dom that makes the housekeeping problem
so hard, and as Amelia r. Barr says IN
her Girls OF Feather women are al
ways in favor of half and half measures,
and thence cometh their misery"

I. 1899. The legality of his action was
beyond question. If Mr. Sanders desires
IL fellow similar course. remaining
Governor until next December. he will
bc within the law and the precedents.
An analogous case is presented in Mr..
HugheSS retention of the Covernorship.
although he has been confirmed by the
Senate as IN associate justice of the
United States Supreme Court. He could
qualify and draw pay as justice if he
wanted to, but he prefers TO continue as
Governor until the opening of the next
regular session Of the court. The whole
question is one Of personal choice as to
the time when one office shall be va
Gated and the other assumed. A mere
election without qualification does not
constitute man IN ofiiceholder il the
legal sense or subject him, if he already
has q public commission. to the prohibi-
