FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1895.
THE ground hog is not to blam^ for this weather. His contract expired several dayB ago.
KENTUCKY has done a good deal lately to increase the sentiment in favor of the election of Senators by a direct vote of the people.
WISCONSIN has swung into line for McKinley in fine shape. The four delegates-at-large were instructed to vote for the Ohio man without a dissenting voice.
As Kentucky has had but one Senator during all the present session nothing has been missed except the salary. This much will be saved at least during the next two years.
THE deflf.it in the Treasury department for the first seventeen days of March is $4,306,408, for the fiscal year 881,823,265, and for the Cleveland administration 8134,431,749.
IT is a remarkable fact that the Wil-son-Gorman tariff law, while increasing the importations enormously, has reduced the custom receipts, and while increasing the whisky tax'enormously the internal revenue receipts have fallen off. The thing won't work.
REPLYING to the repeated charge that William McKinley is dominated by one idea in politics, the Chicago Inter-Ocean remarks that every candidate for the Presidency except Governor Morton voted for the McKinley bill and all stand on precisely the same tariff ground. Moreover, Mr. McKinley "is not committed to the restoration of the law which bears his name. On the contrary, he has insisted re. peatedly that it is a principle, not a schedule, that the Republican party stands for."
THE Cincinnati Commercial Gazette is moved to remark: Senator Sherman has stirred up a regular hornet's nest of inquisitive people by his passionate and eloquent remarks, "If war does not exist in Cuba, where outside of hell does it exist?" These curious ones want to know, if the Senator knew that war existed in hell, why he didn't say anything about it in his book They intimate that he has played it low down in keeping valuable information to himself, and it must be admitted that it looks that way.
EVERY appropriation bill so far presented ih Congress has been cut down to the lowest notch, and there is no reason to believe that there will be any more liberal appropriations in the bills that are now in preparation. Greater economy was never practiced and work never went faster at the beginning of a session. No previous Congress ever held morning.and evening meetings so early in the session, neither were half the appropriation bills ever before disposed of by the middle of February. Congress bids fair to adjourn by June 1.
NEW YORK Tribune: The name ray" still puzzles a great many people who are, nevertheless, well informed regarding the wonderful properties of the invisible agent thus designated. The expression originated with Professor Roentgen himself, and in adopting it perhaps he had in mind the use of the twenty-fourth letter of the alphabet, in algebra, to represent "an unknown quantity." At any rate, there is so much in the nature of the newly discovered ray which the scientists do not yet understand thpt such a supposition is a ratural one.
IT iB to be admitted. that changing the constitution so as to elect United States Senator by the people would not produce a better class of Senators The personnel would not be improved, but it could not be made worse. While the people might elect such men as Altgeld, as they have done for Governor, yet this is no worse than has been done by Legislatures when such men as Tilman have been chosen as Senators. The strong argument in favor of electing Senators by the peo pie is that it removes all cause for such disgraceful scenes as have been witnessed in Kentucky during the last 6ixty days, and similar scenes in other States during the laBt twenty years The time of a session'of a Legislature is usually limited and its legitimate .business is greatly interrupted by the overshadowing question of a United States Senator. The consequence is

that the State is the sufferer. This whole wretched business should end, and the way to end it is to remove the cause.
THE New York Tribune is not favorable to the proposition to change the constitution providing for the election of United States Senators by the people. It says:
It is not a change of system that is wanted. It is a change of working that system, a change toward commonsense and reason. There is a sound provision in the constitution of the United States concerning the election of President by the House of Repre-sentatives—to-wit, that if no candidate shall have a majority of the electoral votes, the voting of the House shall be continued to the three candidates having the highest number of votes. In a choice of Vice-President by the Senate only the highest two are to be voted for. It might be a good plan to consider some such rule for Senatorial elections in State Legislatures.' It is intolerable that two or three men, holding the so-called balance of power, should cause a prolonged deadlock and defeat the will of the majority of the people of the State.
The Tribune's suggestions are merely make-shifts, and its objections are without force.

CROWN POINT, Ind., March 19.—Four thousand farmers attended the regular monthly horse sale here, and it was the only good market day since 1892, when the price dropped down to less than half. During this four years the sale has taken place every month, but the best price offered was about $40 for a sound draught horse, which discouraged the farmers.' This sale shows a marked increase in the price. Several carloads were sold readily to Chicago buyers at prices ranging from $70 to $100, making almost double the price paid during the past four years. Horses that were refused by the buyers last month at $40 quickly sold this time for $i0.
