A RIO ASIN The house committee on the revision of the laws has had under consideration for some time a joint resolution provid ing for the election of United States sen. ators by popular vote instead of delega- ting their choice to State legislatures, At the last meeting the committee agreed to report the resolution with a favorable recommendation, and ask the house to appoint a day for its consideration, We think coogress should take this step.

Benators by a vote of the people One of the largest schemes ever pro- posed is a railroad from St Paul, Mion, to Pekin in China, Irkutusk in Russia, and other points inthe two empires, The scheme is as follows: The Minnea- polis & Pacific, the Aberdeen, Bismark & Northwestern, and the Canadian Pacific will form the line to Victoria, B, C, thence the road will be built to Cape Prince of Wales, on Behring Strait, a dis tance of about 1,100 miles.

That whereas, the policy ofa pro~ tective tariff has resulted in beovefiting a few capitalists at the expense of the many workingmen by making million- aires of the former and paupers of the latter. 2. That the strikes and labor troubles, resulting in distress and bloodshed, are the results of this policy. 3. That the effect of this policy against the interests of all wage workers, farmers and small capitalists by bulling the labor market, forcing the wage work- ers ofother countries to come to our shores for employment, compelling all to submit to the law of supply and demand and accept pauper wages, repudiate just debts and suffer for the necessities and luxuries of life, 4, That the effects of this policy are to ball the produce market, shut out competition and force the wage workers to pay the highest price fora: articles of consumption not on the favored list. 5. That the effect of tue protective policy is to reduce wages to the lowest possible point and raise living to the highest point. 6. That it is the interests of the wage~ workers of America to enact a policy that put them oo an equa: footing with the capitalists, 7. That it 1s not the interests of wage- workers to have the competition of for: eign labor and vot the ben. fit of forrign productions and money at low rates of interest, 8.

Tbe presentduty on tin plates is one cent a pound, which, at ‘ast years price, was eqaivalent to 3380 per We imported 570,643,389 pounds during the year eoding Juae 30, 1887, from which wegot a revenue of $5.706433 De+m- ing this $5,000,000 sup«rfluons, Mr, Ran dall proposes to reduce or aboli bh it by more than doubling the tariff rate, or, to be more accurate by fixing itat 21 10 cents a pound, the equivalent of 70 per cent. It is needless to more than indi cate the «ff-ctof such a rate. It would be felt in every househonld throughout the land nd in all iodustries wheres tin is employed in other manufac ares. I. stantiy the bogus tin piate manufactur. ed by Pittsburg concerns would be ad- vanced by the amoant of the increase in the tax, and, for some time, at least, the revenue from tin plates would be doub~ led, because the bogus tin factories of America arenot in condition to supply 570,643,789 pounds annually immediate ly.

Their quar. rel with the railroad company was upon & question of wages, and the company has been able to hire other engineers in their places upon the terms against which they struck. That isthe whole case. The strikers have demeaned themsel- ves io a peaceable, orderly, and honor- able manner daring the whole month of the strike. They have not interfered with the men who took their jobs and were the meansof their defeat. They have not attempted to interrupt in any way the operations of the railroad, which has been kept running without their aid. They have not raised a hand against the company’s property anywhere, They have maintained union among them~ selves from first to last, and have stuck together like men bound by mutual in terests. They haye commanded the re spect and support of their Brotherhood all over the country, Their organization stands strong even after a defeat from which its chief recently predicted ruin. The Burlington engineers, we repeat, bave suffered no disgrace by the failure ofa strike which was doomed from the first Furthermore, the Brotherhood has grown wiser by its recent experiences, AM FOR OLD AND YOUNG, We have just received a new lot of the celebrated Davis and New Home sowing machines, which we are offering at rook bottom prices, We extend an invi ation 304i to come jd ste those islets convinced they are best in the market, DEATH OF CHIEF JUSTICE WAITE Morrison Renisch Waite, LL, D., Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Uni. ted Btates, died at six o'clock on morning of 23 inst. His death was unexpected, although he had been indisposed for some time Mr. Waite was in his seventy-second year, and hus been at the head of the De partment of Justice eighteen years, hav. ing been appointed by President Grant January 21, 1874. His career on the bench was such as to inspire confidence. He was a broad, cultured man, singular- ly free from political or personal prejudie- es, with nothing brillisot or pyrotechnic about him, bat his decisions were mark ed by solid common sense, and were gen- erally recognized as good exposition of the law. One of his noted recent deciss ions was that rendered in the Anarchists case last November, He the decision in the Bel! rendered a few days ago, but was not able to read it, Chief Justice Waite was one of the ar- bitrators of the Geneva tribunal, and he declined to serve as cne of the Elect ral Commission to decide the controversy of 18786, The death of Mr. Waite at this time will give to President Cleveland the ap. pointment of a Chief Justice~the first op- portunity a Democratic President has had to make this appointment sinc 1836 when Andrew Jackson nominated Roger B.

Baker was tried under the Sanday lsw of 1794, for selling cigars on Sunday. He claims that as he was an innkeeper he had a right to sell cigars on Sunday. The Justice of the Peace be fore whom the case was tried decided that Baker had a right to sell to guests of his house but not to other pemons. Judge Bucher did not take this view of the case but decided that ander the law of 1704 no one bad a right to sell eigars on Sunday no matter whether he was an innkeeper or not, and no matter wheth. er the person buying them was a guest of the house or not nis A i i on AN ALABAMA LAW SUIT, Senator Berry, of Arkansas, tells his friends of a trial for assanlt in his State. in the orurse of which a olub, & rail, an axe handle, a knife anda shot gun were exhibited as "the fnstroments’ with which the deed was done” But it was also shown that the assaulted man defended himself with a revolver, a soythe, a pitch.
