the practically unknown fact that
thirty legislatures have already, by
resolutions formally adopted, peti
tioned congress to call a constitution
al convention. The moving spirit be-
in December, it is evident that the
question of assembling a constitu
tional convention must, soon receive
serious considerations. Two import
ant questions are involved in the situ
ation. The first is whether there is
a time limit upon the period in which
2 the legislature can act No such
limitation is imposed by the consti
tution, and it will unquestionably be
insisted by the advocates of the sys
tem Of popular election of senators
that when a legislature has spoken,
lta action cannot be questioned until
it has been rescinded. In the case
now under discussion, no legislature
has yet revoked its previous affirma
tive resolution. The record is clear
and Unlmpeached. The opponents of
the new scheme iinay point to the
fact that the first resolution was
adopted by the| Idaho legislature in
1896, but it is also true that there
is nothing in the constitution to out
law this action.

BALLINGER'8 CHANCE.
The government has spent five Or
six years in the prosecution of land
rfrauds, the investigation of timber
thefts and unlawful fencing of the
public domain. And with what results?
There was the case of Senator War
ren, the "cattle king" of Wyoming. A
survey of the land he had run his wire
fences around disclosed that hundreds
upon hundreds of acres had been gob
bled up without the payment of' one
single solitary cent to the United
State treasury. Ethan Allen Hitch
cock put the case up to the depart
ment of justice. An opinion handed
down by one Purdy, was to the effect
that no crime had been committed
since the fences all had gates. The
fenceB came down shortly after. The
name of Land Commissioner Richards
became involved In deals In the Big
Horn basin. He was permitted to re
sign. The Union Pacific coal seizures,
land obtained, it was charged, by the
employment of dummy entrymen were
forgiven after the return of a small
fraction of the property. An indict
ment has been brought against Govern
nor Haskell for alleged thefts of lots
in Jluskogee, belonging to the Creek
Indians. The case has been pending
many months. The prosecutions of
timber thleraft in Golorado have not
materialised, thoufeh the ietrs about
them came out two yeans ago.
