The Boer, are not to be congratu lated upon the conduct of some of their sympathisers in this country in trying to Identify tbeir cause with free sil ver or Any other Issue in American poli tics. Ther may be some who think It would be smart practice to make the South African war a club with which to belabor thtlr political oppo nents here. But we can Imagine noth ing more abhorrent to the sound sense of the American people in general than any such attempt. Only once in our history did foreign politics play a leading part in cur domestic politics, and the outcome of that episode was not such as to Invite a repetition of it The indications are that the rush to Cape Nome in the coming spring and summer w ill eiual that to Klondike in 188. Happily, these diggings are on United States territory, and the exac tions which the Canadian authorities perpetrated on Americans will not be repeated in Cape N;me as regards min ers from any part of the world. There are hope that the new diggings will be richer than any found In Canada. If the expectations of the experts are borne out the United States In 1900 and 1901 .will go to a high rank among the gold-producing countries. There Is a belief. Indeed, that the deposits in the Cape Nome region are more widely ex tended than are those even in South Afrira, which are the richest thus far found anywhere In the world. The United States has probably, when all its gold and silver mines are taken into account, more' of ' the precious metals than any other country. An article from the Chicago Times Herald, published elbewhere, shows to what extent the proposition for ihe election of United States senators by direct vote of the people is taking hold of the country. It Is understood that the coming Oregon state republican convention will probably adopt a reso lution declaring in favor of that re form, and the national convention will certainly do so. One method adopted years ago by many Easte n and Mid dle Western states to avoid the un seemly legislative contests that have hindered public business and disgraced other sections has been to express a preference at the regular state conven tion between those who were avowed candidates for su h honors. Of course In speaking about Scott's Emulsion for children, you should not forget that it con tains lime and soda, just what the child must have to form strong bones and good teeth. It's this forming time you want to look after. Growing bodies must have an easily digested fat Just think how much of it there is in milk, as cream. Scoffs Emulsion fs even more easily digested than cream. It's surprising how chil dren thrive when given it Don't keep the children living on the edge of sickness all the time. Make them strong and rugged, plump and hearty. Scotf s Emul sion of Cod-liver Oil and the Hypo phosphites of Lime and Soda will do this for them. At all drnnristii ; tnc. and li oo. Strong Bones such a loclaratlon is not binding on the legislature, but there Is no 'xoep tlon to the rule that where U Jtaa been done the candidate so designated 1ms been promptly elected at the me ting of the legislative bxly. The Aitortnn earnestly advocated the adoption if this plan In dealing with both the last two Oregon contests, and It bellows the suggestion a timely one for con sideration by the state meeting at this lime coming on. The hold which Bryan manages to retain on the rank and file of one ele inont of his party, notwithstanding the fact that exerysane person In that par ty sees overwhelming defeat for him at the polls this year. It one of the mar wis of politics. It is a sort of fatalism which is supposed to be foreign to thi American character. Though his over throw and that of his party are seen by the astute members of It to be as ccrttln to come as Is election day, yet there is no movement to defeat him In the convention. If the convention were to meet tomorrow he would probably get the entire vote of the delegates. There is no good reason to suppose that he will be any weaker two or three months hence when the convention meets. Men who are as sure that he will be crushingly defeated In November as they are that the sun will rise to morrow will cast their votes for him in the convention. The entire demo cratic party seems to be hypnotised Into a cowardice which prevents it from raising a hand to keep him from the nomination, though that will mean, as all sensible democrats are aware, a disastrous defeat for the party. The abject fear with which Bryan has in spired the democratic party workers and bosses Is one of the strangest of the political phenomena of the time. The difference between the policies of the republican and democratic par ties is well Illustrated by the division among the representatives of the for mer party and the solid opposition of the latter to the Puerto Rican tariff bill now under debate In congress. The question at Issue does not, a many casual readers may imagine, relate directly or Indirectly to the principle of protection as against free trade. It Involves a grave question of constitu tional interpretation or construction upon which there Is the utmost room for difference of opinion between intel ligent and independent statesmen of every political hue. It is for thU rea son that we find the committee from which the present bill originated, al though composed In its majority of the party and doubtless personal associates of the president, recommending a measure directly opposed to the policy of his administration and in conlllct with his own individual view and offi cii! advice. The bill proposed by Lhe committee, if rejected, can be defeated only through republican votes. Tet we flrd the democrats In congress solidly, as the dispatches express it, airayt-l In opposition to the bill. And o it has been with every great question that has confronted the nation in forty years. No matter what it was wheth er it related to" the Issue or retirement of the greenbacks whether It involved the adoption of Important and abso lutely essential amendments to the constitution whether it involved the reconstruction and admission back to statehood of the sections of the country dismembered and torn by Internecine conflict wheher It had to do with the resumption of specie payments the reform of the civil service the col lection of public revenue the payment of the public debt the question of ter ritorial and commercial expansion the Improvement of finances or any other public question, it matters not what, we have the same old obstruction and policy of negation from the democrats as a party to any bill, resolution, meas ure or suggestion, that issues from ar publican source, however meritorious, non-partison, patriotic or essential It may be to the welfare of the country and the people at large. BOUNTY PLAN FOR AIDING AMER ICAN SHIPPING. The figures presented by the National Board of Trade in support of their resolutions favoring the enactment of the Payne subsidy bill tell the story of the rapid decline of our merchant marine In the foreign trade. As an argument to Justify the adoption of measures for Its restoration its figures are convincing and conclusive. But that a bounty or subsidy system Is the legislative device best calculated to de velop an American merchant marine In foreign shipping is a proposition up on which well-informed statesmen fall to agree. It is a fact that United States ves sels carried J2 per cent of the nation's Imports and exports In 1826, and that this percentage has gradually declined from year to year until In lS'.'S our ves sels wrled only 8 per cent of our trade with foreign countries. It Is also true that "Hie tonnage of vesels In our coastwise trade, from which foreign boltoirs are excluded, Increased from ;SJ.S:W tons In 1S.M to S.'.Hm.MS In 1SW. It is also true that the United States Is now paying to foreign shipowners nearly J.VO.'K'O.OOO annually to do our o, ean catiyiiig trade, It is argued by many that the boun ty sy.item proposed by the Payne bill would not only bankrupt the treasury but would precipitate retaliatory ntea.v- utvs on the vrt of other nations. There can Oe no doubt, however, regarding thv? public demand for some form of legislation that will encourage th building ip of our merchant marine. not for the benefit of our comm. -tve but for the revival of our shipbuilding In terests. Whether the subsidy plan is the wisest scheme that can be devised for the purpose and to what extent it should lie applied are grave questions that Invite s-'ilous consideration before congress Misses up.m the measures proposed. FOKCINU THK ELECTION OF f. S. SENATORS l:Y THK PKOPLK. Chicago Times-Herald. An Important and practical effort is now being made outside c .ingress to bring about an amendment of the con stitutlon which shall provide for thi election of I'nited States senators by the people. The prime mover In tne matter Is a Joint committee of th Pennsylvania legislature, which was appointed for the purpose of forward ing the proposed change. After the Quay contest of last year the defects and evils of the present system were felt in Pennsylvania as they never had been before. The attempt to defeat the will of the people was loo flagrant to pass nnnoticed, and public indlglatton against a set of political jobbers com pelled legislative action. By the terms of the constitution there are two methods of securing amend ments. Congress itself may take the initiative. In which case it h necessary that the proposed measure should re- cel,e the vote of two-thirds of each house. After this it must be ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states liefore It b.comes binding. This is the simpler method, but in the present case it is attended with great difficulties because the senators stand in the way. The composition of their own. body Is to be affected, and thos among them who are skilful in manip ulating do not care to take their chances with the people. Hence It Is not probable that a majority of two thirds of the senate can be secured for the bill now before congress. The other method is the one which the Pennsylvania committee hopes to see adopted. Here the Initiative rests with the state legislatures. If two thirds of them make application con gress must call a national convention to formulate an amendment. Once it is adopted by the convention it, to, must be ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the states. The committee has passed resolu tions In favor of holding a convention and has sent them to the secretaries of state In those states where the legis latures are now In session, namely. New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Massa chusetts, Tennessee, Maryland, Iowa, Kentucky and Mississippi. As the sub ject comes up anew In this form it may not be favorably received by legisla tures already elected, since It strlk'-s at a legislative prerogative, but If It be made a ,'eature of all future elec tions It will then be easy enough to get the legislative assent. A campaign properly conducted will force congress to act cither directly so as to avoid the threatening command or by the sum moning of a convention under pressure. The agitation waj never so ffe th e as it Is now, and the Pennsylvanlans are to be congratulated on their excel lent work, which cannot be Ignored. As we review the subject the admirabl"' prudence and wisdom of the frarmrs of the constitution becomes evident once mor.'. It has never bet-n necessary t' try the alternative of the legislative initiative up to now, but here It Is at hand to fit the merg ncy and to pre- J vent congress irom tnwarung thi- pop ular will.
