And it ought not to be hard for the members to imapiue how the people would vote if they were given an opportunity. It in only eight mouths since the mem bers were out on the campaign talking with the people and telling what an economical and business-like adminis tration of legislative affairs they would give if eleoted to the lawmaking body. Then it is only three weeks since the members shook hands with their neighbors and loft home for the seat of government. They are surely not this soon so far out of touch with the thought and feeling of the pcoplo that they do not know how the people would act upon important snbjucts of legislation if tbov hud the obauoa And the people may have a chance. J The people have a legislative power in reserve whioh they may exorcise as soon as this sessiou has adjourned. But such action should not bo neces sary. Any reasonable eQoit to carry out the wishes of the peoplo will be productive of lesults fairly satisfac tory to the voters of the state. Oonsideiable interest is being dis played among the Indiana delegation in Cougres over the question as to whose statue of all the distinguished sous of the Hoosior State shall be pla ced in the Capitol building alongside that of Oliver P. Morton, the fumous war-governor of that State. Some mombers are of the opinion that form er Vice-President Heudrioks is enti tled to the nioho, others claim that no resident of Indiana conferred more fume on tuo state than Boujamiu Har rison, while uot a few hold to the view tbut General Low Wallace, tun vet eran of two wars and a noted author is, by virtue of his reputation, entitled to oommenioratiou by a statue. Gen. Wallace's f tiouds are most active and say that as a soldier, statesman, author and diplomnt, ho is more represent ative ot the lloonier State than either Ilarrisou or Hendricks, and besides, ho was bnru in Iudiunii.

It is known that in this action it went against its own best judgment. It is also known that its iudemeut is still in favor of the can teen as an agency making toward tem perance and good discipline. Unfor tunately, however, it nas never yei reached a moment when its courage was great enough to permit it to undo the evil and restore the canteen. The attack upon the Army canteen was made from the best of possible motives by women and men who have the welfare of the soldiers at Heart, and the welfare of all other people who are tempted to do themselves in jury by drink. Unfortunately toe method adopted toward this good end, namely the banishment of the canteen, was the wiong method to get the de sired results. . It has been conclusively shown by facts piled upon facts that the canteen makes against drinking and the evils of drinking, while the abolishment of thejoanteen makes for drinking and f or an increase in the evils of drinking. Instead of canteens selling only the milder alcoholic drinks, managed un der strict discipline, and applying their profits to the welfare of the sol diers, our Army posts now have back yards of drunkenness, disorder and vice, in which the soldiers waste their money and get into more trouble in a day than they would get into in a can teen in a month. Admit that abstractly a canteen would be a disgrace to Fort Sheridan, and yot how can it be denied that Higbwood as it now exists is a hund red times the disgraoe that the worst possible canteen would bo? The choice is one between evils. Unfortunately it is the worst of the evils whioh Congress has chosen. There is now a movement for the restoration of the canteen, whioh, liko the movement for its abolishment, is iu charge of women who wish the wel fare of the soldiers and of the Army. It is to be hopod that this session of Cougross will not expire without a re peal of the anti-canteen act and a re storation of the older and better con ditions. Chicago JReoord-Herald. AMENDING PRIMARY LAW. Has it occurred to the present legis lature that there is no provision in the primary law for the nomination of presidential electors? This omission was. no doubt, an oversight and one that should be remedied. It has been generally conceded, also, that the law should be so amended as to provide for the eleotion of delegates to a state conveution,. a provision whioh is iu tho primary laws of most other states. Conventions lor tne pur pose of formulating platforms and the transaction of other business are as state convention, and while the people nouiiuute tickets, as in uregon, lr four fifths of the convention, which meets, of course, after the nomina tions are made, unite on any other man than the nominee for any posi tinn. the mnn so united upon is the regular candidate. This suggestion is made that the leg islature muv thiuk of the mutter and cousider if any amendment to the pri mary luw of a miuor nature, is deemed necessary. Tho mattor of the omission of n provision for the nomination of presidential electois, however, seems to bo one that should be remedied Pendleton Tribune. THEY SLEEP IN PEACE. Tako a walk through a cemetery in a large city, pathetically remarks an exchange, and you will pass the last resting place of a man who blew down the muzzlo of a gun to see if it was loaded. A little further down tho slopo is n buried man who tried to jump ou a moving train. The hand somo marble shaft of a man who blew out the ens casts a shadow across the bosom of tho hired girl who lit the Are with keroseuo. while in close proxim- itv lies all that is mortal of the old for a Big BUSINESS Make Your appointments Here lady who kept strychnine and baking powder on the same shelf in the pan try. Tho dude who wore a plug hat in Texas is quiet now, and no rests oy the side of the gambler who turned the trump from the bottom of the deck. The fair damsel who pinched her corset to the last hole and danced evety nnmberof the fireman's ball, slumbers close to her lover, the intel ligent idiot who rode a bicycle ten miiea in nine minutes. The stylish young man who smoked his cigar while cleaning his clothes with gasoline, sleeps peacefully and the branches of the rosebush whioh adorn the last resting plaoe of the old maid who con tracted the morphine habit and took too much, wave o'er her grave. But, also, beneath a grassy mound moulders a suspender button, all that can be found of the printer's devil who lit a cigarette over the benzine can while washing the rollers. The trouble of the farmer who stood in front of the sickle to oil his mowing machine is now over and so are those of the bat tle-scarred veteran who fought in the Mexioan War, won laurels in the last ereat rebellion, but failed to success fully draw his musket through a barb wire fence while out hunting wood nhncks.

In the anDronriations for the Pacific Northwest reported by the house com mittee on rivers and harbors, we per ceive the results of united ettort on the part of the members of congress and people of this region, and or tne recent rivers and namors congress, and the aDDronriation bill will doubt less show the result or unity on ims onhinnt nf neorjlfl tiartioularly interest ed in river and harbor improvement t.hrnnsrhont the country. Tho Columbia river is well taken care of, all things considered, through nnt. The iettv will be made a contm iiinu contract, the upper Columbia and Snake rivers will be looked after, and the lower Columbia will get a fair amount: while if the advice of some Tifiorjle and of a Portland paper had hfieu followed, no effort would have been made to get anything except for the month of the river. This was persistently advocated by the Oregon ian, doubtless as a part of its servioe to Mr. Harriman, but if bat policy had prevailed we would have received ri fnr the iettv from Jones of Wflsbincton and other members from that state and Idaho. The people are greatly, to be congratulated that the railroad organ s advioe was rejected Bv all pulling together from now on, nil tlipso improvements will 'go for ward satisfactorily.
