ELECTION OF
SENATORS.
The people of the United States seem
very loath to make any changes in their
Federal constitution. This is exemplified
particularly iu the failure thus far to
amend 1he constitution so as to elect
United States Senators liy popular vote,
instead of liy the State legislatures, al
though there can be little doubt that a
vast majority of the electors are eager
for the change. The prevent system has
proved most unsatisfactory and its evils
are becoming more and more apparent.
This system is now responsible for two
scandals in the United States Senate.
Evidences of wholesale bribery and cor
ruption are presented in the contest for
the seat of the new Senator from Mon
tana, Mr. Clark, before the Senate com
mittee on Privileges and Elections and
the spectacle which that State now pre
sents can but alarm the friends of good
government throughout the country.
The Montana war is thus described by
the Washington correspondent of tie
New York Evening Post:
"Clark decided many years ago to
,-onie to the United States Senate aud to j
run the politics of Montana. Mark Daly.

since then an auction has been going on
THE SHOOTING MR. GOEBEL.
The attempted assassination of Wil
liam Goebel comes as a natural climax
to the lamentable condition of affairs in
Kentucky, which has been constantly
growing more and more threatening for
some time. That the deed was a most
cowardly and dastardly one will not be
denied by any friend of law and order
anywhere. At the same time the parti
sans of Mr. Goebel were liberal con
tributors in the features which gave rise
to the conditions in which such a crime
was likely to be committed; but Mr.
Goebel and his friends are not the only
ones to blame for the conditions in
Kentucky. Gov. Taylor and his asso
ciates have certainly made a most mis
erable blunder in allowing armed men
to appear in irresponsible bands at the
State Capitol when it was almost cer
tain that such demonstrations must in
cite bloodshed.
No one really believes that the man
who did the shooting acted as a represen
tative of the Republican party, for
surely the effect of this cowardly at
tempt upon Mr. Goebel's life with all
tho conditions that surround it oaiinot
but prove disastrous to that party.
Mr. Goebel is a diplomat. He went
to the Democratic convention in Louis
ville last June the weakest of the three
candidates for the gubernatorial nomi
nation, he combined his forces with those
of the next' weakest man and, succeeded
in juggling through his own nomination.
The editorial from the Atlanta Jour
ual (Dviu.) yesterday is giwn as a
sample of the comments of the press on
the situation. The Journal said:
"The exercise of the ballot in Ken
tucky last November under the election
law wliivh Goebel himself put through
the legislature proved that he was uoi
the choice of the people of that State
for Governor. The returning board,
acting under the Goebel law and with a
majority of the board politically iu
Goebel's favor, declared his chief op
ponent, Taylor, elected .
"We do not believe lli:it any unpreju
diced man in Kentucky or outside of it
doubts that Taylor was elected.
"And yet Goebel appeals to the legis
lature to seat him.
"He knows that he was beaten, but he
wants to be Governor of Kentucky.
That is his w hole case.
"Hut there are other men in Kentucky
who know also that Goebel was beaten
and do not propose to have a fraud
crammed down their throats. Several
thousand of them have gone from the
mountains and the lowlands of Kentucky
to its capital to see whether the popu
lar will is to be sustained or defied.
"Tliev are determined men and no
j partisan vote of the Kentucky legisla
ture win either convince or te rrify
them.
"The condition of the once proud old
Blue Grass State is deplorable. Its citi
zens are armed and are meditating mis
chief against each other and the entire
responsibility for the trouble lies at the
d'Mr of a coterie of cheap aud conscience
less politicians."
Since the. Legislature has decided in
Mr. Goebel's favor would it not be better
if Mr. Taylor and his followers should
penrwibly accept the decision, just i
Tilden accepted the decision of the elec
toral commission of 'Tt, when his fob
cal examiners in each county, to consist
of three physicians and the granting of
marriage licenses is to be placed entirely
in the hands of this board. No marriage
license shall be granted until a certificate
is had from the board that the man is
not less thad 25 years old, the woman
not less than 22, and that both are free
from any form of organic or true In
sanity, hereditary insanity, tuberculosis
of the lungs, or other vital org ins; hered
itary asthma, scrofula and epilepsy, and
that there is no blood relation existing
between them. In no case shall a cer
tificate be granted -a person notorious ft
moral depravity, or w ho shall at the time,
of the application be on trial, uuder
bonds or in prison for felony.
The bill has commendable features be
yond doubt, but it is safe to say that if
placed upon the statute books of Colo
rado it will cause the exodus of many
citizens with matrimonial designs. The
Ei year limit will greatly tax the impa
tient Colorado youth.
JOYS OF WINTER.
Joys of winter let us a:ngl
Air that seta the blood a-tingling,
Where the skate blades grate and ring
Or the slecghbeHs go a-jingling;
Hoar frost glancing hi the sun,
Snowflakea dancing from the dun!
Who would not have happy reason
To rejoice this snappy season!
Joys of winter let us sing!
Rheumatism, hilluenza,
Coughs and all that sort of thing;
Trill them in a low cadenza;
Chant of intermittent chills
And -the traiu of frigid il.s
Ailso sing by the gas grate or
Else close to tho radiator.

Wo heartily agree v.ith our esteemed

m Montana every time any political or
other favors were to be disposed of. The
terms Republican and Democrat are al
most as unknown there as Whig and
Tory. Everything is Clark or Daly.
Both leaders are Democrats, but the
Kepublicans are likewise divided into
' the 'Clark' and 'Daly' factions. ' Practi
cally all the newsapers of the State are
either Clark or Daly, and are ruu as the
literary machinery of the rivals. No
man would think of standing a news
paper in Montana to stand on its own
merits and be supported by subscription
and advertisements, any more than he
would think of running a Methodist
church for the profit to be made on
church sociables. Occasionally some
Clark man switches over from Daly, ot
vice versa, and in the present trial all

Daly spies insinuated themselves into
the Clark camp, took Clark's money.

In the efforts of Quay to again foster
himself upon the Senate, Pennsylvania
appears in a light little better than Mon
tana. For years Quay has been the
' boss of the Key Stone State. Last rear
a sufficient number of Pennsylvania, Re
publicans rebelled against his despotism
to prevent his securing a majority in
the legislature. The Assembly adjourn
ed without electing a Senator and Gov
ernor Stone thereupon appointed Quay
Senator to succeed himself. He is now
seeking admission to the Senate by vir
tue of this appointment.
The spectacles presented to tb nation
by Pennsylvania and Montana are most
alarming. If Quay shall be seated and
the precedent thus established that gov
ernors have the right to appoint where
legislatures fail to elect, the situation
may be expected to grow still worse, for
then politicians, who are partisans and
friends of the candidate who has the
governor's support will deliberately plan
deadlocks in- order to secure the appoint
ment of political favorites, who, like
Quay, may he very obnoxious to the
people.

THE COMMON CARRIER
The Common Carrier is the name of a
new monthly review of railway affairs
that has made its appearance from the
presses in Atlanta. It is handsomely
printed, contains twenty-four pages tilled
with interesting reading matter for the
railway world, and discusses tonics of
vitial interest to the country at large,
though the object of The Common Car
rier is to fill a long felt want in its line
in the South. Mr. Frank Weldon is edi
tor and publisher, and his record with
the Atlanta Constitution justifies the
statement that The Common Carrier will
ever present an attractively gotten tip
review, with inside information at times.
such us Mr. Weldon cannot resist from
giving. If The Common Oirrier is to
perform the service outlined by Mr. Wei
don it is to be welcomed by all railroad
men in the South, in fact by the coun
try at large. It is to be hoped that
will keep its footing and will not h-
come the organ of any one system or
monopoly, that it will not become, to nm,
Te Carrier's words alluding to othet
railroad journals, a self-alleged railroad
paper that is neither of nor in the vast
industry, and onJy around it for what
can be picked up, like sharks following
a ship. Mr. Weldon is an able writer
and an enterprising and up-to-date news
paper man, and if he continues to man
age The Common Carrier its success u
assured and its task will be successfully
accomplished.
Ashevilo Citizen: The rock-ribbed
j Democratic county of Cleveland has
never had a representative on the State
ticket and now comes forward with the
name of Dr. B. F. Dixon as a -candidate
ror the nomination for State Auditor on
the Democratic State ticket. Dr. Dixon
has held many positions of honor and
trust, and ably represented his county
in the Legislature in the session of 1897.
