In a recent lecture Senator Mason cafd tic only way the senate could be made to -r#spesi the will of the people, or the majority in that body could be permittted to rule, would be through the election of senators by direct vote of the people. While there is much to be said in favor of the proposition for election of senators in this manner, the fact most not be obscured that there is a distinction between the proposition to elect by direct vo^e and the endorsement of a candidate by a party convention. By direct vote the people would be enabled to select a senator free from all other considerations. By the endorsement of a canditka wko!» legislative ti&ct is linked

with his strength or weakness. Legislatures have many more important matters before them ,£han the one act of electing a senator.

TFREE SILVERITE JOY. These free silverites are a hopeful race. It is no trick at all for them to get sunshine out of cucumbers. The Atlanta Constitution breaks Into peans of jay over the results of the recent elections. Hear it: •••kM

In Tuesday's election the drift 4n9 tendency of the voters was to march all one way, and tha't way in the direction of Democracy, or,'as the enemies of the people are pleased to call it, "Bryanism." The Constitution sends greeting to the unterrifled, in ail parts of the country, who stood true to Democratic principles in the contest that closed last Tuesday!

In Greater New York the Democrats did their level best to keep national issues out of the campaign. Tammany was afraid of the free silver doctrine and ignored it utterly in its platform and in the canvass. It refused to endorse the. Chicago platform or in any way to acknowledge itself in eympathy with Bryanistic theories of finance. Yet the Constitution sees in the result an endorsement of the Bey Orator of the Platte, with all his untamed notions of money and government.

Wherweriree sifver'came prominently to the front in the late elections it was voted down except in Kentucky. It did not score what in any correct sense can be termed a victory in the Corncracker state. The majority of the Democrats was only 15,000 and figures of that sort would have appalled the Kentucky Bourbons a few years ago. This majority would have been cut down still further if not wholly wiped out out had not the Republicans been quarreling among themselves and unable to present a solid phalanx to the foe.

In Ohio the fight between free silver and sound money was a square one. The Democrats played the white metal up in their platform and the Republicans insisted just as emphatically upon the gold standard. The battle was fought end the sound nnsney men won. Their victory was not quite so signal as that of a year ago, but it was as marked as any reasonable Republican cou'd desire. The party did not escape that proverbial reactionary tendency tAAt follows in the wake of important political triumphs in this country. In Iowa also there was practically but one issue—that of 16 to 1 against the maintenance of a stable standard—and the result was similar to that in Ohio. The Hon. Fred White, the standard bearer of the free silverites, was snowed under, s.

Republicans who see realize that free silver is not dead in the opinion of its advocates and friends, that it must be met and beaten a time or two more, but they have not the slightest doubt of their ability to do the job with neatness and dispatch.

ADVICE TO SOME OHIO REPUBLICANS. If any Republican who has been elected to the Ohio legislature thinks he can serve the Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker by cutting the throat of the Hon. Mark A. Hanna as a candidate for senator, he is a sadly misguided individual, says the New York Sun.

Mr. Foraker occupies one of Ohio's two seats in ^he United States senate. He was elected on account of his services to the party and his distinguished position among Buckeye Republicans. His term runs to March 3, 1903 that is to say, just half way through the administration of President McKinley's successor.

Mr. Hanna occupies the other Ohio seat. He was appointed for a short remainder of John Sherman's term, and he is now a candidate for the same post for a full term of six years ending March 3, 1904. His appointment oh account of notable services to the Republican party and to the cause of honest money and good government was eminently satisfactory to Republicans everywhere. It was particularly satisfactory to Major McKinley, who is under deep political obligations to Mr. Hanna, and who warmly and manfully recognizes those obligations. But beyond that, the same general reasons exist for the return of Hanna to the senate as determined his appointment in the first place.

There have been hot times in Ohio Republican politics in the past but how the infliction of vengeance for any ancient grudge will promote the interests of Mr. Foraker at this time, or at any time during the coming five years, is not apparent. How Mr. Foraker will be benefited by having som* other Republican than Mr. Hanna sitting alongside of him in the senate chamber is yet to be demonstrated. In or out of the senate Mr. Hanna will exercise, and will 3ustly and properly exercise, precisely the same great influence with the McKinley administration as now. In or out of the senate he is bound to be a potent factor in Ohio politics for several years to come. Eliminating him from the senate will not eliminate him from Ohio politics. Mr. Foraker's importance will be neither greater nor less by reason of Mr. Hanna's presence in Washington or his absence from the nation's capital.

It is hardly credible that Senator Foraker himself, or any real friend of Senator Foraker's could be so shortsighted or so billious as to desire that the knife shall enter Mark Hanna's back. What would the results be? No imaginable advantage to Mark Hanna'6 colleague. Only a drop or two of blood, quick recovery on the part of the victim of treachery, and the inauguration of a factional war raging for years everywhere between the great river and the great lake, and fraught with the gravest consequences not only to the Republican party in Ohio but to the Republican party in the Union.

The year 1900 is too near at hand for (he exhibition of knives in Ohio or elsewhere.

CURRENT EVENTS.

The decision of the Supreme Court of Arkansas as to the contract between a railroad company and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineeers might have been expected. It has long been admitted, although not openly so by the officials of the brotherhoods, that these contracts are really little more than a memorandum of an understanding as to the terms on which the employes may work for a company. They could not be enforced against the men. If they could a condition of voluntary servitude would exist. The brotherhoods give no bond that could be forfeited if the men failed to live up to the contract. The obligation not being mutual the contract is invalid.

As a matter of fact there are few railroad systems, compared with the number a few yeare ago, which enter into these contracts. It used to be that all of the roads funning into Terre Haute were operated under these contracts. Perhaps not one is now. One of the questions raised' in the Arkansas case was over the compulsory provission of the contract by which .the company was to give employment to engineers then idle in the order of their seniority in the service. If there should be occasion to give work to additional engineers the selections must be made arbitrarily according to seniority. In short, the company could not make the selection ia U« Cicercttoa of the master n»e-

chanic or the superintendent This seniority rule Is one for which the brotherhoods have piade the most persistent contention. Adherence to it is almost vital to the labor organizations in so far as they seek to protect their membership in holding positions with railroad companies. For instance, if the fifth engineer on the seniority list should be promoted over the four ahead of him from a freight run to a passenger run the foun would resent it. On the other hand, the company might hold that the fifth man had demonstrated that he is the better engineer.

Several years ago this question was thoroughly considered by the United States court at Springfield, 111. The master mechanic of a road that was in the hands of a receiver refused work to two engineers and employed one who stood below them on the list. Chief Arthur insisted that the seniority rule be adhered to and the receiver conferred with Judge Allen. The receiver said there was nothing against the two engineers as competent and sober men. The master mechanic did not like them personally and they disliked the master mechanic. The latter told the receiver that If the men .were forced upon him he would resign. The receiver told the court that the interests of the road would be best subserved by keeping the master mechanic. The master mechanic and the receiver were both willing to give the two engineers letters of recommendation and personally assist them in finding employment elsewhere. In the end Chief Arthur yielded the point. -, tsrSf- •.'i •.

Several years ago farmers In Crawford county, Illinois, around Robinson, planted apple trees in great profusion. This year they have been richly rewarded. Judge Jones, of Robinson, has just sold 6,000 bushels from his orchard, and in all 6,000 barrels of apples have bee^ghipped from Robinson this year. -i\

Frankfort has adopted the Veedersburg Poston brick for a street pavement. The News says•/Experience for the past fh'ree years on our own streets has demonstrated beyond any question of doubt that these brick will stand any reasonable test. When the con•traqt was let for the improvement of the court house square and a number of streets contiguous thereto, the contractors were required to give a three-year guarantee the duration of this guarantee will expire next spring, and not $1 has the contractors had to expend in making repairs. From present indications It is doubtful if the city will expend a penny for repairs upon this improvement in the next twenty years."

SALOON MEN GET REVENGE.

Councilman Zook's Barn Burned by Muncle Incendiaries. w'U

Special to the InCianauolis Journal. Muncie, Ind.t Nov. 7.—In addition to the $3,000 fire at the Muncie Pulp Co.'s plant this morning, in the digester department, the barn on the rear of the property of Councilman Thomas L. Zook was destroyed, and his horse burned. This fire was of incendiary origin, and the general opinion is that the local saloon element is responsible. Mr. Zook was most instrumental in closing up a half dozen saloons here in accordance with the Moore saloon law, he having introduced the Muncie ordinance under the law, preventing saloons from doing business in the residence parts of the city. All saloonkeepers in the factory district have been prdsecuted and must quit business, some of them after having recently, paid a $400 license fee. Mr. Zook's last move was to have the council pass a resolution instructing the superintendent of police to close up the stores of those who were found guilty, since they liave announced that they will not appeal the cases. The loss in both Urea is covered by insurance. Mr.

LIEUTENANT O'BRIEN ARRESTEp.

Prosecutor of Captain Romeyn is Now Himself a Subject for Court Martial.

Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 8.—Some months ago, when Captain Henry Romeyn, the convicted defendant in the sensational court martial held at Fort McPherson, was granted an honorable discharge through the good offices of President McKinley, he prophesied to the officers at Uncle Sam's post that six months would not elapse before his departure from the ranks would be followed by that of Lieutenant O'Brien, his prosecutor.

On the recent march of the Fifth regimeut from Atlanta to Chattanooga, O'Brien was chief of the -angineering corps that planned the route and the trip. On arrival at Chattanooga the lieutenant disappeared, and for the whole seven days of the regiment's stay in the mountain city Is said to have enjoyed himstlf.

He was not on hand when the troops went to the Nashville exposition, and when he finally did report he was placed under arrest. O'Brien represented the army in the China-Japan war, and so conducted himself in the flowery kingdom that he was recalled.

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

iSoulsvllle Courier-Journal: Some of the mighty engines of the press which have been threatening to explode with lndignita'tion because of tse announcement that Queen Victoria had sent congratulations to Grover Cleveland over the brith of a son, can now explode because the report was a "fake." Nevertheless, there is Still something for them to live for. They have not yet to'.d us what sort of safety-pins are worn by that new baby of the British Duke of Something-or-other. Tbe work of the mighty engines of •the press is never ended.

Chicago Tribune: Spain will be Interested to know that the navy of the United States I# in a very healthy condition just now. More than sixty war vessels are ready for service, a greater number 'than have been in commission for many years, and by a year from this time the list will be lengthened by the addition of thirty more, now nnder way. This does not include the thirty or forty torpedo boats which are sure to be added before the beginning of the new century. Nor have the innumerable ships been -taken into account that are now in trade, but can on short notice be armed' effectively. The foreign power that attacks us on the -theory that the tlnfted States would be helpless on the seas is going to be considerably surprised.

IndiaDapoiis Journal: An element of doubt has been introduce in the Maryland e'ection by the discovery that about five hundred ballots in Somerset county lacked the initials of the judges, as required by law. As the county elected four Republican asemblymen and one senator, the throwing out of its votes would change the complexion of .the legislature. This could only be done, however, by a series of partisan decisions. Honest courts always hold in conteaited election cases that where the will of the voter can be ascertained from the ballot it should be given effect, if there Is no material violation of the law. The placing of the judge's initials on the ballot could hardly be caied a material feature, and if it was the defect was of the judge's own making. It is not likely the baHots will be thrown out on that account unless Gorman controls the courts.

San Francisco Wave: Henry George was traveling once on a sleeping car. The porter came to brush tbe dust off him and "work" him for the custorary quarter. There were but few passengers, -George reflected on the fact that Pullman paid his poor black hireling little or naught, and relied on their ability to brush and gouge the public instead and determined to give him all the change be fiund in his pocket. He thought there might be about GO cents, but there actually was $3 in quarters, halves and dimes. He gave it all to the darky, who dropped his broom and stared ta the -tip and then at George- "This all fo* me, boss?" he gasped. "It's all for you," replied George. The darky looked at the little, rusty, modest man and again at his handful of silver. "Wow!" he ejaculated. "It's true as de good book puts it, you nevah cain tell how fah a toad kin jump twell you sees him hop."

PLAYERS' PORTRAITS

THET WILL BK 8C8PEMDIC IN THJE ENTRANCE AT THE GRAND.

Others Will Ornament the W»Ua ot the Foyer of the Mew Playhouse— Stage News.

Thus far the walls of the entrance to The Grand and of the foyer are barren of portraits.

However, it is not the Intention ot the management of the new playhouse to allow them to remain so.

Yesterday afternoon Manager Barhydt received from Denmau Thompson a fine portrait of that capable actor io a neat cak frame. It does not represent Mr. Thompson as made up for "Uncle Josh" to "The Old Homestead." or for any other character, but shows him in full evening dress. It is a bust picture and a very fine one. Manager Barhydt will suspend it in the entrance and as rapidly as possible will collect portraits cf the leading stars of the country.

It is expected that the&e pictures will add immensely to the charm of tbe new nouse. The walla of the entrance imd foyer are a fitting place for the display of tho handsomest portraits that can ^be got. Nor is the pictorial effect all that Is sought for. Tbe Grand is a temple of amusement whete tte stars will gather to present rragely, drarau, melodrama, burlesque and farce—tc :s a building dedicated to the players and tie admirers of players—and therefore tno pictures of the foremost artists are desired to make the theater complete.

Manager Barhydt has just received lemarkably fine lithograph representing William H. Crane in four different characters and showing his own portrait in the center. These characters are Elisna Cunninghem in "A Fool of Fortune," Major Fairfax in "A Virginia Courtship." Hannibal Rivera in "The Senator" an^ Buchanan liiiiiag? in "His Wife's Father."

Mr. Crane is playing all tmss roles this year and be is willing to present :n this city that the character that the theater goers would most like to see. Thsrcfcre, all who are interested In having a particular one of these roles giveu by Mr. Oraae will do well to besiege Manager Barhydt with demands for their .favorite ch«*a-3Ter. The comedian is presenting Major Fairfax in Chicago and is making a great bit ia it.

Minnie Maddern Fiske is not playing one night stands as a rule this jyear, but she has been secured by tbe management r-f The Grand in "Tees of the D'Urbervilles," a great literary, dramatic and flnvi'jn] success. Many people in this city have rtad "Tess" with much pleasure and will be glad of an opportunity to witness the stage production of it. The drama, like tne novel, is an essay on fatality, but it is said to have been relieved by many delica:e and effective touchea»of comedy.

Banda Ros»-a, tbe famous musical organization ot San Severo, Italy, will be litre during the fall and if it cat,clies on like it did in New York the people wiil^bo more than pleased with itj

IN THE COURTS OF EUROPE.

Bahincl the Scanes With the -Nobility of the Old World. A lawsuit has just been begun against the Princess de Sagan by her eldest son, Count Helie de Talleyrand, with the object, first, of removing the restrictions which the princess has placed in the way of seeing his father, and secondly, for the purpose of compelling the princess to return her husband to the domicile which he has occupied for a quarter of a century at the Cercle de la Rue Royale until the family council can decide what is best to do for the mental and physical wreck who bears the well known name and title of Prince de Sagan, writes the Marquise de Fontenoy in the Chicago Record. According to the affidavits presented by Count Helie de Talleyrand to the court, and which are backed up by sworn statements of the prince's brother Adelbert, Due de Montmorency, the prince had repeatedly expressed his intention of never again living with his wife or becoming reconciled to Ijer. He likewise had expressed his aversion to his younger son Boson. When he became ill he was nursed day and night by the Due de Montmorency and by Count Helie. The latetr three weeks ago was forced to spend a few days at Milan on some pressing business, and for a couple of days the duke was prevonted by indisposition from being with his elder brother, whose most intimate friend and companion he had been for all these long y»ars.

Count. Boson, according to the affidavit, took advantage of this to have his imbecile and helpless father carried downstairs from the club by a couple ot servants, placed In a carriage and carried off to the house of the Princess de Sagan. where neither Helie nor his uncle, the duke, have been permited to see the prince since. Helie therefore claims that his father was both abducted and is now sequestrated illegally, and in his role as eldest son and ruture head of the Talleyrand and Sagan family he demands the intervention of the law against his mother. ,/

The response of the princess is that not only has the prince not received while at the club the proper care and attention of which he stood in need, but likewise he enjoyed no protection while there from the persecutions of his numerous creditors, or from men and women who have been accustomed to blackmail him in the past, and who, according to her assertion, had played a deplorable role in his life. She likewise points cut that her eldest son. Count Helie, scarcely is qualified to pose as the head of the family or as the guardian of his father's interests, having spent several months in prison on chargesi ot forgery, which were compromised but never entirely withdrawn. Nor does she hesitate to call attention to the fact that her brother-in-law, the Dus de Montmorency, likewise has a number of judgments pending against him, and that being mixed up in unsavory financial scandals is' unworthy of roceiving any attention in connection with the provisions made for the care and future of the Prince de Sagan. Altogether it is a very pretty family scandal, which may result in the washing in public of an Immense amount of exceedingly unclean linen.

fjEE

Whatever prospects there may have been of a matrimonial alliance between the young duke cf Roxburghe and the American heiress, Miss May Goelet, are in abeyance temporarily, owing to the departure of the young peer for South Africa, whither hk mother, the duchess, has sent him with one of his uncles in order to keep him out of trouble or mischief. Until now he has been kept tied very closely to the maternal apron strings, and having attained his majority, thereby becoming his own master and the possessor of a rent roll of 300,000 per annum, besides the large amount of ready money accumulated during his minority, it is natural that had he remained in England he would have become the quarry of every male and female bird of prey, as well as the objfect of temptations of the most varied character. This, too, at a moment when his sudden accession of wealth and freedom, taken in connection with his inexperience of the world, naturally would have the effect of rendering it peculiarly difficult for him to kee straight.

It most not be forgotten that he is a nephew of the lafe duke of Marlborough, and that he resembles his brilliant but dissipated and di&re uwvi»l« uaclo la appear-

iFree for Two Wookst

ance. manner and intellect more than any other member of the family, far more, indeed, than does the pfosent duke of Marlborough. The duchess of Roxburghe seems to think that if her son can spend the Br3t six months of a year roughing it in South Africa gathering knowledge of life and experience among a set of men who are comparatively indifferent to rank and wealth (both of which go for little out an the Feld), he will be better equipped on hla return for the battle of life.

Ie is only to be hoped that she will not be mistaken in ber hopes for the future. I am sorry to say that travel and roughing 't diJ no good, but lots of barm to the late duke of Karlbbrough while sti'.l marqui3 of Blanford. Indeed, his sojourn in India, when a young felldw, was characterised by such wildsees, recklessness and dissipation that the viceroy of the day twice was 03 the point of shipping him off to England by force, while he ijispiied li ih# forr.'ioily temperate and we'll behaved maharajah of Cashmere, the most hospitabie or Indian kings, such a love of strong drink that the English government finally was compelled to depose the alcohol-sodden potentate from his throne, place him under restraint as a lunatic and to annex his dominions, which now constitute not a vassal state, but a mere province of the Indian empire.

How brilliant and how popular Blanford was in those days before he left England for his trip to the colonies and to India, may be gathered from the delightrul and pleasing portrait which is drawn of him by the late Lord Beaconsfield in his novel, "Lothair," under the pseudonym ot .'"Lord St. Aldegonde.'

It is a law in the nursery -of the royal house of York that the young princes shall pick up their own toys, and it Is very strictly enforced by the royal nurses in deference to the Instructions of the duchess. Balmoral the other day little Prince Edward had been spending the morning with his great-grandmother, the queen. When his nuhrse arrived to take im bacK to his own apartment she glanced at the floor, which was strewn with bricks and lead soldiers. But Prince Edward was not inclined to pick up his toys that day. and stood irresolute for a few moments with his finger in his mouth. At last a happy thought seemed to strike him, and, turning to the aged, fat and infirm queen, he pointed at her and exclaimed, in a tone of entreaty, half of command, "You help nie to pick up the toys."

A Truthful Statement.

An excellent and invaluable remedy, for the cure of cough, cold and hoarseness, is Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup, and Mr. Jas. Hadfield, 350 West St., New York City, verifies this statement. He writes "Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup is a most excellent remedy for cough, cold and hoarseness, and I take great pleasure in recommending it to all, who require such a valuable household medicine." Dl\ Bull's Cough Syrup is sold everywhere for 25 cents,

TKitttltt UAUTE MEN BACK. FROM i, M. C. A. CONVENTION.

S*y« It Was ire»t Meeting—Major A. 1} KoiMierauz Hsy KDIIOM tbe Eiincational Work. "IW'

Yesterday afternoon Secretary Charles B. Jamison, of the local Young Men's Christian Association, together with a considerable number of delegates from this city, returned from the state convention at Evausville.

All report a rousing meeting. The delegates speak in glowing terms of the hocpitality of the Christian people of the Vanderburgh town. The entertainment furnished the visitors, was of a kind strongly suggesting the warmth and cordiality of the people on the other side of the Ohio river,

Lafayette made a lively canvass for "the next state convention and the general impression is that the meeting will go to that city. Terre Haute favored Lafayette and the delegates from this place1 wore the card bearing the invitation of ?be college town. Terre Haute has had the Y. M. C. A- convention within the past two years ar.d Crawfordsville had it last year. The other citie* of the state have no claim entitled to precedence over that of Lafayette, and it ia regarded as almost certain that Lafayetts will be the town chosen.

There were many notable men on the pro- *... gramme at the Evansvllle convention, but it is safe-to say that none of tLem made a more favorable impression than Major A. C. Rosencrant, of Evansville, who addressed the convention Sunday Light. For a long time Major Rosencranz has been thinking of endowing an cSuailii.j: institution of soma kind. He is a manufacturer and has discovered in his butiuess rhe lack of training for special pursuits. It v*us at first the major's idea to establish an industrial training school. Now he appears to have surrendered that ptirpose and to have become infatuated with the educational work ot th« Y. if. C. A. Major Rosencranz has always been a liberal supporter of the association movement in his city and now he intimates that he will invest a Urge amount of money for the purpose of having the educational classes of the Y. -M. C. A. made a permanent feature of the association work in ansville.

In the course of his speech M*jor Rosen-i||| cranz stated that men would-com* to his factory for work and would say in reply to&^il questions that they were married men and,s|| had children, but had no home and no property of any kind. This meant, the major declared, that their earning capacity was still that of a boy. He wanted to encourage, so far as possible, special training for special pursuits in order that men might not ad-is&gl vance in years while held to the productive Wfe power of uieir youth. |p.|

Major Rosencranz' hint that ho intends tO f-ssj do sometbing to remedy the evil of which he coirpkins was enthusiastically received by all who appreciated his meaning. He did not declare his Intentions so frankly ia convention as he is said to have done in private.

The Evansville Y. M. C. A. building is a fine one, but it Is thought that in ca*e tho night school should be established it would be nccessary to build-an annex to it. This school would undertake to instruct young men in their particular line of work and in such other subjects as they might choose tot ifaf« elect. Major Rosencranz stated that 92 per^lvs cent of the young men enter their life calliog without any special preparation for it.fcilj It would be the aim of his school to reduce 533 that percentage within the radius of tno influence of the Dvar.sville Y. M. C. A.

The Crawfordsville and Wabash College delegates passed through the city yesterday afternoon en route iiome. They reported .^ that there were seventy-five college men a! 35^ the convention as delegates and that the city: associations of the state wer«j represented by forty men. The delegates from the wil-#^ road associations ran tbe total number up 125 or more. 1 km 1,1*1 of Recent Death*
