Primaries and Senatorships.

Behold how good a thing it is for Il
United States senatorship to be taken out
o. the clutches OF a state legislature. y
successor to MIR. Beverage is to be chosen
IN Indiana. and he already stands pro-
claimed The voters have spoken in all
authoritative way, and the legislature
will obey the instructions received. There
will be neither delay nor complications.
No legislation depends OH the matter. No
scandal is at all likely. No nervousness
exists in the ranks of the triumphant
party.
II p similar situation existed in New
York, New Jersey and Ohio, the demo-
cratic party. and indeed the people in
general of those states. would be fortu-
nate. But very different situa ton eX-
lists. We see the old order of things
there-everything open, and maybe wide
open, and rising tide of contention and
bad feeling moving. Everybody is on
edge Many democrats fear either scan
dial. or blunder. or both. Albany Tren-
ton and Columbus are old centers of
practical politics. and old tricks may
now be revived there
In New York the contest is among cor

tween a rich man of business and flow

between a couple of politicians, both
clever at the game
1t is said that none Of these men could
have hoped for instructions from a pop
ular appeal TO the people. So much
greater the reason. therefore, why they
should have been obliged to make such
appeal. Mr.. MARITIME in New Jersey
did make one, but not in circumstances
tn nd
ness of his case lies in the small vote that
was recorded for him in the primaries.
Opponents of the plan for Instructions
declare that the strongest men decline it,
and hence mediocre men profit by it. That
il incorrect. Some Of the strongest men,
bers Of the Senate at present are there
by the operation of primary instructions.
They were glad to submit their claims by
word of mouth to their fellow-citizens,
and to discuss the issues Of the day.
70 The people are entitled to know the
men who aspire to their political favor,
whether the aspirations are as modest as
apply to constableship. or reach as high
as a senatorship. And If they prefer
mediocre men for Office of any grade,
that is their affair. But, as rule, they
do not. Given q fair chance to appraise'
available material. they will in a great
majority Of cases choose the best, and
afterward reward capable servants for
good work done in Office.

journalism would have Kept him IN the
thick Of the turmoil from which he has
greatly suffered. He would have con-
tinued to be a conspicuous target Tor his
enemies. and have returned their fire
daily. Instead of being an editor, prop
erly so-called, lie would simply have been

defending his course while in office, and
maneuvering for return to office And
of such is not the true kingdom of jour
nalism. Rather is 1t an injury to jour-
nalism. and to any man who misap-
praises the profession.
1T was upon that rock Mr.. Carmack
wrecked his fortunes. He had prepared
himself for the newspaper field, and occu-
pied himself there contentedly until office
swan into his ken. Then lie was all for
office After that. Journalism was mere
means of striving for Office while he was
not in commission. and Of pursuing those
with his pen who would not follow him as
politician. His usefulness as an editor
was destroyed.
Political organs are poor things, and
should never be called newspapers. The
men who grind them limit their sphere
of usefulness. and should never be called
editors. The public wants the news on all
subjects of public interest, and comment
on 1T from a much higher point of view
than the political aspirations of commen-
tators. In other words man in Office
or seeking office should not make cold

Strange Oakhs. !"

From the Chicago Journal.
Before Mr.. Justice White took the oath
Of Chief Justice he was required to sub
scribe to the ''oath of allegiance re-
quired Of all ex-Confederates entering
upon federal office. When Judge Blu
chanan presented himself in the Tennes-
see supreme court as q member Of that
body appointed by the governor a few
days ago. he was called upon. under the
law OF the state. to swear that he had
not engaged in q duel since the passage
OF the statute on the subject and that he
would not do SO during his term of Office
1t is we'll that judges on the bench be
bound by sufficient formal obligations
and pledges. At the same time, such
oaths as those mentioned were formu-
lated for times far other than the pres
ent, and it might be we'll to abolish them.

The Bay State Strife.

The complications in Massachusetts
over the senatorship increase. Anti
Foss democrats have developed as an
Offset to the anti-Lodge republicans
However the election may turn out,
both parties will show the effect of the
disturbance.
Henry NJ. Whitney supports Mr..
Lodge on the score of Canadian reci-
procity. He thinks that cause we'll ad-
vanced now, and sees in the Presidents
activity something very promising for
the early future. AS Mr.. Lodge Is in
agreement with the President, MIR.
Whitney thinks he is the right man to
represent Massachusetts, in the Senate
while that policy is ripening. This is
one reason for Mr.. Whitney's deliver
ance, but may there not be another?
AS democrat, Mr.. FOss is a new
importation. The odor of republican
ism has hardly disappeared from his
garments. But he has inaugurated his
leadership in very husky fashion, and
given the veterans something to think
about. He stands to win or lose no
little by the course he is pursuing to-
ward the senatorship. If he compasses
the defeat of Mr.. Lodge before IA legis-
lature republican in both branches he
will demonstrate great skill and power
and become stronger than ever in the
state. If he loses he will suffer a
serious setback.
MIR. Whitney is a veteran democrat
and has unsuccessfully tried for party
honors. He has wanted the office Mr.
Foss has obtained. He probably fails
to understand why he should have lost
and MI Foss won. Why should success
have gone to the new convert, rather
than to a man reared in the faith and
SCARED from numerous party conflicts!

Gov. Dix's Address,
From the New York Times.
TO- i,,o

From the New York Times.
Gov. Dix's inaugural address is one
which eveE1 man can read easily, and
ought to rad thoughtfully. Apart from
personal references both modest and con-
fident in their expression, he confines
himself to a single topic, which involves
the entire tax policy of the state. The
anticipated deficit of the state is over
thirteen millions of dollars. or more than
the total expenditures of the state TWEEN
ty-five years ago. 1t would be idle to
emphasize a fact like that, and the gov
ernor does not attempt it. He calmly
says that something ought to be done
about it. and ne proposes to do it. Every
body is interested I'm what he proposes,
and should pay attention to what he
says, and have an opinion about it,

Finances and Wars.
From the Salt Lake Tribune.

From the Salt Lake Tribune.
DR.. David Starr Jordan is firm in the
opinion that the great financiers of the
world are both able and disposed to pre-
vent war by withholding loans or ad-
vances Of money to governments for war
purposes. We think. however, that the
financiers have hardly got that far in
their determination to enforce the peace,
although there is no question but that is
the tendency of financial sentiment.
MOneyed men recognize that war is i'm
mensely destructive to property, and
ruthless of property rights. But the very
essence and spirit of financiering is to
preserve property rights and prevent
waste. 1t follows that the financial infiu-
ence would also be thrown on the side OF
the preservation Of property, and against
the destruction Of life, as the most valu-
able asset possible.
