Per 1 ar, im At f ranee $1 00 With the Senate elected in the present manner, the people have Very little say in the matter. Take ti State where either party has only ti very small majority in the legisla ture on joint ballot. Half the coun ties in such a State, containing about half the voters, are completely dis franchised. Then comes the caucus tohich determines the choice. In this One half of the dominant party, com ing from one fourth of the counties, select the Senator. Perhaps one eighth' of the voters are really repre sented in the vote which sends a Sen ator to Congress for six years. Here is just the opportunity for money to come in and determine the choice in favor of corporations and trusts. Ex perience shows that the money does come in, with sinister results to the country. The Sixteenth Amendment would give to the people the direct fhoice of the Senators, who would have toanswer to the people. Now that Senator Jones, of Neva da, has joined the Populists, the Re publican press would have us believe that its party has a good riddance of bad rubbish. But he was one of the very ablest of the Republican Senat ors. He has left the party solely on one issue he wants the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. This he believes neither of the two old parties are likely to bring about, and so he has cast ill his lot with these dreamers of dreams, the paternallists and protectionists at bottom the People's Party. It is bad for the Republicans, certainly, but the Dem ocrats can stand it with much philo sophy. The Republicans make poli tical bed-fellows of the Populists, the A. P. A., etc. What wonder if once in a while one of them goes the whole hog. Thk people in the arid regions of the West want government subsidies and aid to help them irrigate their farms. The people of Dakota have, through slovenly neglect, allowed the Russian thistle to get ahead of them and waut the government to help them put it down. The paternal idea seems to be growing. It i.s pernicious in the extreme, and utterly un-American. Once introduced for the bene fit of any one community, where is it to end ? Secretary Morton very properly refused to identify the De partment of Agriculture with either the irrigation movement or the root ing out of thistles which the people Were shiftless enough to let gain a footing. - The Emperor of Germany has told his people in so many words that he rules by Divine right. So did the Stuarts of England and the Bourbons of France according to their own story, It's all bosh, and is a very stupid assertion to make in 1894. It helps the Socialists, whom it was in tended to discourage, by giving the people a practical illustration of the idiotic attitude in which monarchy of the Wilhelta stripe stands, His grandmother, Queen Victoria, -should teach the boy better than to make 15th century speeches so late as this. The sugar planters of Louisiana wefte good Democrats and tariff re formers so long as their own industry Was highly protected. Now that they have been given a taste of the medi cine they were so ready to prescribe to others, they gag and meet In con ventions which denounce the Demo cratic party, and swear that they ' will send Protection men to Wash ington. It makes that much differ ence whose ox is gored, you see. AT Westminster, London, a Roman Catholic cathederal is to be built on the model of Constantino's church of St Peter at Some.

Leatherman, traveling correspon dent for the St. Louis Trades' Re view, has purchased the plant for his son F. M., Jr. Mr. Letherman is a thorough journalist and trill give the paper his personal attention until after the November election. He proposes to resurrect the sleepy Dem ocracy of Cape county. The Era will be a morning paper, beginning Octo ber 1. The Populists want a Dew Nation al Constitution; government loans at 2 per cent; government control of the railroads, telegraphs, etc. ; Waite for Governor of Colorado; Peckham for Governor of Nevada; they want bil lions and billions of public money; they want the earth and the fullness thereof, and anything else in the un iverse lying around loose. The Green backers were not in it at all with the Populists when it comes to modest demands. Now that Col. Breckenridge has been defeated forCongress, Kentucky can hold up her head again. The mere possibility of his re-election was a stigma upon the manhood of the State. The brazen effrontry of the hoary hypocrite secured him a following, and. we regret to say, a large one. But he is defeated, and there, we hope, is an end of him. His trial and candidacy have been a stench in the public nostrils, lo, these many months. Previous to the passing ' of the new tariff law, the wool buyers of Ohio, West Virginia and western Pennsylvania, who are mostly Re publicans, tried to buy wool from the farmers at 15 to 17 cents, represent ing that a big slump must follow the passage of the new measure. Now they offer 20 and 21 cents but cannot buy under 23. So much for Republi can predictions. The Charleston Democrat says that Col. Breckinridge has the "machine" with him, and believes he will be de clared the nominee in spite of the re turns. If the As-hl and district "ma chine'' finds it too great an undertak ing the Colonel should send for the Scott county "machine." It never flickers. It is all wool and a yard wide and don't you forget it. Oi'R Department of State has on file descriptions of over 500 French Anarchists. A strict quarantine should be established against such gentry, and with theofficial informa tion in its possession our government should be able to keep the vermin out. New York city is said to be sink ing into the soil of Manhattan Island at the rate of one inch in a hundred years.

The mother was arrested, the son decamped and Stiff is likely to recover. Perry county Fair was held last week and Stoddard and Jefferson county Fairs this week.

Frntn the Kansas Cttjr TiuiPi. Two weeks ago The Times called attention to the anti-trust features of the new tariff bill, and though it was tnen maue plain that under the operations of the bill it would be as impossible lor trusts to restrain trade and manipulate prices as it would tor a bar of pig metal to ny, the matter has not received that con sideration at the hands of the press that its importance deserves, sec tion seventy-three of the new law provides "that every combination. conspiracy, trust, agreement or con tract is hereby declared to be con trary to public policy, illegal and and void when the same is made by or between two or more persons or corporations, either of whom is en gaged in importing any article from a foreign country into the United States, and when such combination, conspircy, trust agreement or m tract is intended to operate in re straint of lawful trade or free com petition in lawful trade or commerce or to increase the market price iii any part of the United Mates of any article or articles imported or in tended to bo imported into the United States, or of any manufacture into which such imported article enters or is intended to enter." This feature of the bill was intro duced by Senator Morgan of Ala bama, who must have had in mind the Sugar trust when he was prepar ing it. It is a well-known fact that at least six-tenths of the raw su;ai' comsumod by the trust is imported, so that it is clearly and unquestion ably amenable to that provision of the law. But it applies with equal exactness to the Steel trUst. the Cor el ape trusts and most other trusts. Bessemer steel is produced from iron m fin hv mivinrf Pulmti tritU Inmnct- tie ores. The Cordage trust imports a large proportion of the flax it uses. and the other trusts import raw ma terials from which to manufacture their wares. This law. moreover. differs from the Sherman and other anti-trust laws in ttiat safe and cer tain provisions are made for its en forcement. Section seventy-four pro- vides"that the several Circuit courts of the United States are hereby in vested with jurisdiction to prevent and restrain violations of section 73 of this act ;attd it shall be be the duty of the several district attorneys of the united mates in their respective districts, under the direction of the Attorney General, to institute pro ceedings in equity to prevent and re strain such violations." That is neither ambiguous nor uncertain. The only doUbt that can be raised concerning tlie efficacy of this law is that Federal district attorneys might not be inclined to act. Uut this is an unreasonable assumption, for while officials who reside at points contiguous to the trusts might be in Hue need to be lenient with them. those widely separated could enter tain no such feeling of friendship and the complaint of anv citizen to anv official thus situated would be certain to produce results. The law obvious ly contemplated this fact, for it ex tends jurisdiction to the "several Circuit courts in the United States" in the section above quoted; in sec tion seventy-hve it sets forth that "when the ends of justice require that other parties should be brought before the court, the court may cause them to be summoned whether they reside in the district in which the eourt is held or not," and section seventy-six provides thot "any prop erty owned under any contract or by any combination, or pursuant to any conspiracy (and being the subject thereof J mentioned in section 7.1 of this act, and being in the course of transportation from one State to another, or to or from a Territory. or the District of Columbia, shall be forfeited to the United States, and irisy be seized and condemned by like proceedings as those provided by law for the forfeiture, seizure, and condemnation of property imported into the United States contrary to law;" These with the penal clause which provides, section seventy -seven, "that any person who shall be injured in his business or property by any other person or corporation by reason of anything forbidden or declared to be unlawful by this act may sue there for in any Circuit court of the United States in the district in which the defendant resides or is found, with out respect to the amount in contro versy, and shall receive three-fold the damages by him sustained, and the costs of suit, including a reason attorney's fee, comprises what Rep resentative McMillan oi Tennessee, in a speech made in the House on August 13, iustlv and oronerlv char acterized as "the most stringent law against trusts ever enacted in this country' The Times fully appre ciates the vast saving to the people amounting to more than s thousand niilliolM of dollars annually which tin Reason the schedules of the new tariff bill afford, but it ventures the estimate that if Congress during its recent prolonged session had accomplished nothing else than this throttling of the trusts, the hydra headed monsters which were not only destroying the commerce and industries of the coun try, but were strangling the liberties of the people as Well, it would have earned the eternal gratitude not only of the public of to-day but for all time.
