I'OPt'f.Atl KLECTIOS OF SKXATOttS ,
The speech ol Senator Mitchell of Oregon -
gen , In ndvocjioy of the proposed amend
ment to the constitution providing for
the election of United Slates Benntors by
the direct vote of the people , is iv strong
presentation of the side of the question
ho onpoitses. The plan of electing sen
ators by the legislatures of the stales
was n compromise Iwlwcen widely diver
gent and conllleUng vicwri among the
members of the convention which
framed the constitution. It had
buon urged by some of the
members that senators should ho ap
pointed by the president , while others
insisted that they should bo chosen by
dlreot vote of the people. Tho' system
adopted was the result of the counsel of
Franklin , Madison nnd Kdmiiiul Ran
dolph principally , and was distinctly n ,
compromise- .
In the opinion of Senator Mitchell ,
ono great objection to llio present sya-
lom of electing senators by the legisla
ture is that the power mid right of
the individual voter are hedged
alxMtt and circumscribed , his
will is manacled , his volition paraly/.cd.
Tlio system , ho declared , is unroptibll-
can , not democratic , and vicious in all
rcspwts. It carries with it the implica
tion that the pooplrr , the qualified voters
of the stale , nro for some reason unlit for
the full oxorclso of the elective franchise
in the choice of high government olll-
cials , except in a qualified and largely
rustrlclod seiibo. It is in practical pur
pose and clTcet a declaration that for
Homo occult i-cabon , which is in no
way made manifest , it is unsafe
and projudiulal to the public interests
to commit the election of senators to a
vote of the peoplo. It is n reflection ,
cither upon the honesty or capacity , or
both , of the Voting class of the several
states. An unanswerable objection to
the present system is found in the great
length of time frequently absorbed by
the legislature of u state in the election
of a senator , and still another
vital objection is the fact that
in the selection of members of
H state legislature nt a time
when such legislature has ns one of its du
ties the election of a senator , every other
consideration is lost sight of except the
solitary ono as to how such members will
vole on the question of the soimtorship.
Senator Mitchell said thcjio is great
unrest in the public mind on this ques
tion , growing out of a rapidly gaining
belief that proper deference is not given
by the senate of the United States to.
the demands and interests of the people ,
and that this is largely duo to
the fact that senators do not owe
their positions to the people , who are
permanent , but to the legislatureswhich
are transient. Senator Mitchell was of
the opinion that any man who aspires tea
a seat in the senate of the United
States , who is unwilling to submit his
claims to decision of n majority of the
qualified electors of his state , is unfit ,
however well qualified in every other
respect , to bccomu.a senator of the United
States. The senator devoted some atten
tion to the secret session system ,
which ho said is no longer regarded
by the Inasses as being in harmony
with the spirit of republican institutions.
The people demand , said the senator ,
that the discussion and determination of
questions of state in which all have a
common ink-rest shall not take plaeo
behind closed doors , but in open session
nnd before the world. The people de
mand a voice in the election of senators ,
and they demandfurtherthat their pro
ceedings shall bo public and open to all
the world.
It is not at all probable that this de
mand will receive any consideration from
tlio present senate. The millionaires
and the monopolists of that body under
stand fully that men of their class would
stand very little chance of success before
the people , and us it is their policy to
perpetuate tliu power and control of their
class they are not likely to support the
proposed amendment. Every agitation
and discussion of this question , however ,
brings nearer the time when provision
will bo made for the election of senators
by a direct vote of the people.
MM-SHAI , COUIITS.
There has been a persistent obstruc
tion.'of the federal courts in a portion of
Florida for the last six months. The
court olllcials have found great dilllculty
in executing process , particularly
against persons charged with having
violated the election laws. Ono murder
has taken place , a deputy United States
marshal having boon lured to ambush
nnd assassinated. It has been clearly
demonstrated that a thoroughly planned
consiiirnoy exists to defeat the
execution of process , and the
olllcors who attempt to carry out.
the orders of the court take their lives
in their hands in doing so.
The toleration of this lawless interfer
ence with the federal judicial authority
in Florida , which n senator from that
state a short time ago on the lloor of the
suimto endeavored to palliate , if not to
justify , Is to come to an end. The presi
dent has directed the attorney gone-r.il
to Instruct the United States marshal In
Florida to proceed Immediately after
being qualified to execute stiuh writs of
arrest as may bo placed in his
hands , and If he upprohonds ro.-dbtaneo
to employ such olvil posse as may seem
adequate to diseourugu resistance ) or to
overcome It. The marshal Is adrinud to
proooed with calmness and doliburatlon ,
but at the same time with lirmness and
coin-ago. The pres.'d ml warns the con-
splrators against the judicial authority
that every resource loJgml with the ex
ecutive by the constitution and laws will ,
as necessity arise.bo ) employed to make
it safe nnd feasible to hold a federal
commission and to execute the
duties It impos3.s , This action
of tlio president , uxcopthmnl
in the experience of the government ,
has boon taken only after the modU.-on-
ctuMvo evidence of Its necessity , and the
lawless element agaliut which it is di
rected may rust u-jsitrud that It will hu
firmly adhered to. The United States
innrihnl who.su duty it will bo to execute
tlio orders of thu court Is a man who
may bo depended upon to perform his
duty without fear or favor , and it will bo
surprising if the conspirators do not soon
discover that interference with the federal -
oral courts la a very dangerous proceed-
ing.
KCI'ICKSKNTATIVK Fl.OWKIl Of Now
York has Introduced a bill of great Im- .
portnnco to railroad men. It mnh.cs it a
misdemeanor for any railroad to use any
thing upon nny of its cars in the way of
couplings other than an automatic coup
ling , and it also provides thnt every cat-
shall bo equipped with automatic air
brakes. The bill is very carefully drawn ,
and leaves no loophole for evading its
provisions. If it becomes a law in its
present form , it is to go into
olTcct November 1 ( 1892 , nnd after
that date any railroad using
a car without automatic couplings and
brakes is subject to n find of five hun
dred dollars for each offense. The ur
gent necessity for legislation in this
matter has boon repeatedly pointed out
by state railroad commissioners , but
state laws could not secure uniformity
in car construction and appliances. The
interstate commerce commission also
called attention to the necessity of con
gress enacting laws for the better pro
tection of the lives and limbs of railroad
operatives. President Harrison en
dorsed the suggestions of the com
mission , declaring that it was "com
petent for congress to require uniformity
in the construction of cars used in inter
state commerce , and the use of safety
appliances upon such trains. " There is
no reasonable excuse for continuing llio
man-killing couplers on freight cars ,
and congress is fully justified in apply
ing force to compel tho'm to use modern
appliances for the safety and security
of employes.
HKKUTOFOHB the democratic party
has had scarcely an excuse for existence
in the Dalcotas. It was so insignificant
in numbers that it did not furnish re
spectable material for a campaign
funeral. Prohibition , however , has
transformed the shadow into substance
and given it a vitality that could not
have been possible by any other menus.
In the i-cccnt municipal elections in
South Dakota the democrats were
either victorious or made surprising
gains. There is a deep significance in
this early stampede from the repub
lican camp. It foreshadows trouble
some times for the intolerants who
have forced the party into paths
that end in disaster. But these demo
cratic gains are trilling compared with
the landslide that will follow the en
forcement of prohibition ; when the people
ple who now dwell in comparative peace
and content are besot by mercenary con
stables and spies , their privacy invaded
by liquor searchers , strife and conten
tion fomented in communities , and the
liquor traillu driven from the open sa
loon into joints and drug stores. The
indications point to a repetition of the
experience of Iowa and Kansas.
Tun privilege of unlimited debate is
guarded by tlio United States senate
more zealously than wny other of the
peculiar prerogatives of that body , so
that the proposal of Senator Chandler
that a rule bo adopted limiting debate ,
as is domain the house , is not likely to
succeed. The new members of the senate ,
to whom the nearly interminable de
bates , as for oxnmplo that on the Blair
bill , arc extremely tiresome , regard Mr.
Chandler's proposition with favor , but
the elder senators view it as threaten
ing a most sacred and essen
tial senatorial right , and they may bo
expected to oppose it to a man. The
purpose of the New Hampshire senator
is to got a rule that will enable the ma
jority to put a check on debate when
ever the minority should show a disposi
tion to talk a measure to death , to debate -
bate in out of existence , but it is quite
certain that members of the majority
parly will not approve such a departure
from the practice of the senate stitco the
beginning1 of the government. It would
scorn wise for every deliberative body to
impono some chock on debate , hut the
senate will doubtless adhere to its old
practice.
Tliu action of the council in placing
tho. sidewalk department under the di
rection of the board of public works is a
commendable specimen of municipal san
ity. Heretofore this department has
been operated chiefly for the benefit of
tliB sidewalk contractors. Great nurn
was taken to keep property owners in
the dark until the contractor unloaded
his timber on the premises and
slapped together a walk warranted
to last till the inspector approved the
hill. It is not expected that there will
bo a material Improvement in the con
struction of walks under the now order ,
but the faut that the business of the
board is public will enable property
owners to build their own walks , in ac
cordance with the regulations of
the city. "Whilo the council is
in the mood , -it would bo decidedly pro
fitable to plaeo thu street commissioner's
department under control of the board
of public works , and dispense with the
gangs of pensioners on Flannory's pay
roll. *

THK YOUNG KHl'L'lHjlCANS.
JIow Joint TJ. Webster Tells of Their
Itcccnt. Banquet In Philadelphia.
Tlio fifteenth annual banquet of the Young
Republicans , wdlch was held in Philadelphia
recently , was evidently one of the most enjoy
able events in the history of the organization ,
which is not only renowned for vigorous cam
paign work , but for the splendor nnd bril
liancy of its annual gatherings.
Hon. John L. Webster of this cltv , who was
in attendance , has returned , and in speaking
of the gathering has the following to say :
"The great cai-d In the way of orators was
Speaker Tom Reed of the house of represent
atives , who arrived from Washington in
company with Congressman Bnighnm.
Thov were met at tlio depot by Kdwin
S. Stuart of the Young Republicans and
Joseph Ruv , chairman of the banquet com
mittee , and escorted to the Lafayette hotel
and afterwards to the hall.
"The interior of the hall presented n rare
and most exquisite scene and was splendidly
decorated. The front of the stage was a
bower of blooming flowers nnd palms. The
American colors wcro displayed everywhere
in dowel's and in bunting. There were also
the mute tokens of respect for the distin
guished leaders of the party , whose principles
the Young Republicans espouse , in the four
largo portraits of Lincoln , Grant , Garfield
and Logan , which hung at intervals across
the upper part of the stage. There
were present GOO members and guests ,
and they were seated nt four
larger tables running parallel with the walls
of the hall , north and south , nnd a fifth or
bend table running crosswise in front of the
stage.
At 7 o'clock President Stuart , withSi > cakcr
Reed on his arm , led the way to the banquet
room. President Stuart sat at the head of
tlio main table , while Speaker Reed sat on his
right , and next to the siicnkur was Congressman -
man Binglmm , with the members and guests
occupying seats at the other tables. After
being seated , the president of tlio club arose
and in a brief speech introduced Speaker
Reed , who was received with cheers and the
famous club yell , which to bo appreciated
must bo heard. When the cheering
had died away Mr. Reed spoke
in glowing terms of tlio club
and tlio work it had accomplished during the
Hon. John M. Thurston of this city was
down for n speech , but owing to his having
been tuken ill the day before-tho banquet , hu
was confined to his room and was unable to
respond.
"One of the main speeches of the evening
was thnt by Judge Brow.stor , his subject
being -The Old Guard. ' It was received
with thundering applause.
'Following this were appropriate speeches
by Roswcll U. Herr of Michigan and Adju
tant General Hastings , both of whom paid
the highest tribute to our elnb and the ex
ample of untiring energy it had set before
the people of the country , predicting great re
sults for the work of organization it has been
carrying on since the close of the lust cam
paign.
"It was midnight when the banquet ended ,
and it was the universal opinion that it was
the most enjoyable entertainment wo have
over held. "
Mr , Webster was ono of the orators of the
evening , responding to tlio toast , "The Youn
Republicans. "
The reception ho received was a splendid
one. Ho began his speech , with n picture
of Lincoln's flag raising at Independence hall
in Ifltll. Then following the history of the
famous events from that time down to the
present , he found the colored race of the south
only now in the shadow of freedom , because
the hand of oppression Is still over them.
Continuing , ho said : "Wo have protection
for tlio elective franchise provided in the
constitution ; we have llko protection provided
in the laws of congress , but when the negro
comes to vote the republican ticket , in tlio
south thu democratic party defeats this pit
lection. This political oppression of a class
of our citizens must appeal to the republican
party of tlio north for relief. What is the
remedy i A- free ballot and a fair count.
Young men of the republican party , tills is
QUO of your missions. "

"This western destitution business is
getting to IK ) a great bore , but my position on
the subject published in Tin : llii : : the other
day was greatly overdrawn , nnd I wish to
have it corrected. I said this In substance :
There are no cases of destitution or starva
tion out there at all and the true condition is
greatly exaggerated , but in my opinion CO per
cent of the people are nnt able to buy seed to
[ > roperly plant their fields , and if the good
[ icoplo wish to send aid let them send seed of
all kinds to the county commissioners and
not to the self-constituted committees. Not a
single application lias been made to the
authorities for aid and our people will cer
tainly not starve todeath before asking for
something to oat. There are plenty of people
ple there in a nourishing and prosperous con
dition mid they will not sec their neighbors
suffer for food. But as I said before , it will
be a great help to the country and to the poo-
[ ilo to get heed to plant their fields properly. "

J. P , Smith of Scrlbner , n member of tha
firm of Fuller , Smlt',1 fi Fuller , lumbciMjralu ,
and live slocl : men , was ut the Mlllard Sat-
unlay , Mr. [ Smith's llrm has n line of thir
teen elevators on the Albion branch of the
Klkhorn road , und pay particular attention to
grain.
"About the best tfflng that I know of , " said
Mr. Smith , when approached for n chut , "H
that farmers all thourottgh our big portion
of the state nro now getting ! N cents for their
corn. Only n short tlmo ago they \vero get
ting but IS to IB cents per bushel. .Oats and
wheat nro also picking up at a rate which
should make those having nny to sell feel line.
What has caused this somewhat sudden and
goodturnl Well , the shortest and best an.
swcr Is that eastern prices have commenced
to soar , occasioned , of course , by Increased
demand. And will the upward tendency
continue ! I think , yes I believe so most
certainly. It is at least almost morally cer
tain that we are done with nny moro such
black-faced figures 114 1-J and in cents for
corn. Another evidence of good faith as
to cereals continuing to cxporlenco the
present very favorable advance Is the
fact that farm products generally are feeling
the toueh.of Improvement. The price of hou's
h good nnd that of cuttle is anything but bad.
I wont to say that the impression that there's
u largo quantity of corn lying upon the
ground today , or that there has been during
the past winter in Nebraska , Is all wrong.
There Is scarcely nny nt nil but what is well
cribbed and In a condition to bo ludeiH-iident
fora longer time than Chicago or New York
aware of , perhaps.
"As to the present season , small grain Is
looking well , and the prospect generally Is
every way as it was at tills time last year.
This , ns you must know , is much moro than
can bo sold of several bordering states.
"Politics ? No. I'm no politician. You
might strain a point nnd call this little item
polities : There is considerable talk to the
effect that the Farmers' alliance proposes to
start n general store nt Scrlbner.
"There's another matter I want to mention ,
and that Is that wo people who handle grain
in this state keep wondering why Omaha
doesn't have some big storage elevators. For
myself I think and am about sure of the fuel
that the people here are making n mighty
big mistake In this line. I hear the mat
ter referred to frequently over the st-ite.
Men who know till about Omaha and Imie
been in the grain business in Nebraska for
years say something about it every time tlio
city is mentioned. Wo people now send all
our stock to South Omaha and are onlv wait
ing for Omnlia to put up some storage ele
vators for its to fill. What's the matter with
Omaha , anyhow , on this point ! Is she wait
ing for the grain men of the state to vote her
a bonus before she builds these moneymaking
ing grain shelters ! "
There Is an Interesting party of trims-

"Our trip thus far through America's pos.
sessions from San Francisco to Omaha , '
said Mr. Osborne , "has proven simply noth
ing less than a wonderful revelation to every
member of our -party. We , had seen tlu
grandest and best scenery on the face of thu
globe outside the borders of this land , but I
tell you that none of it compare ? with
the majesty , the sublimity of thai
which wo saw while riding through
Colorado. The glories of those canon * ,
Marshal pass and the many other overawing
features well deserve all the great praise
which they are accorded in nearly every
known language in the world. For they uro
simply unsurpassed anywhere upon Uod's
footstool.
"Your city of Omaha fallow I wish tli.it
we had some of your magnificent bu-.im-.T.
and private houses in our Wales. l\OialV
carry homo the plans of several of them , and
they will all bo built upon , too. I also have
just secured the measurements of your prin
cipal streets and , to bo perfectly plain about
it , I have secured many diagrams and figures
concerning various public Improvements
here. The fact of it is that I llko the way
in which Omaha is put together bolter
than San Francisco , Denver or any
other city wo have visited thus
far in America. Your banks are
wonderful models as to capacity , finish and
amount of business. I got many new ideas
from them which I shall utilize upon my ro-
tum home. "
"To my mind , " said the Hon. Church Howe ,
Saturday , "this , the 20th day of April ,
16DO , deserves the most notable place pos.siblo
In the political history of Nebraska. Tliu
facts which entitle it to this distinction are
these : Today TIIK Hii : : for probably tliu
