The Georgia legislature hds passed a res-
olution declaring for the election of United
States senators by direct vole
If Iho people have not the ability to
elect suitable nnd safe men to the United
States senate they arc Incapable of self
government Upon this theory the Georgia
legislature has no doubt proceeded
The method of electing legislators with
reference to their choice for United States
senator Is not a safe one for oven when
It obtains the member doei not consider
himself necessarily Instructed or bound
and therefore holds himself at liberty
to change his Inclination when occasion

M
Legislators so Instructed are not likely
to dig their political graves by abusing or
Ignoring tbo oxpllclt demands of a major
ity of their creators however much tho
artful politician and
trained trickster may
consplro to break tho forco of public
choice
Until tho United Stntes senatois from
Texas shall bo elected by direct vote It
may therefore bo put down as pretty well
assured that tho people will Insist upon
the protection nnd security of the primary

The Pittsburg Leader tells an Interesting

The possibility of a change has been openly
discussed for some time rumors being abroad
to thn cfTcct that Mr II C Prick nnd others
held ail option on Mr Carnegies share In tho
Interests of his firm and Hint Mr Carnegie
was not averse to selling out for a sum be-
lieved to bo at least SUIOOOOOO Had tills

United Statos would pass luto the hands ot

contemplated has fallen ta the ground Mr
Carnegie retains Ills lioldingi the Carnegie
Sttcl coinpnny remains as It has been and

It there was anything authentic as to when

sion Ho replied Tub legislature will not
bo called beforo tho 1st of January but tho
dalo will bo fltoJ early In that month Tho
tax bill now beln prepared by tbo com-
mission is a oltimlnoim work revising tho
cntlio tax law of tho State and is too largo
to bo published In the press as few npers
cculd contain it In ono Issue Strong offorts
will bo made to bring other Important meas-
ures beforo tho called session nnd among
tho Important now nvitters will bo tba regu
lation of doubleheader trains which have
already pro on unusually dangerous to llfo
and propcity
Thcro will In oil proMblllty be two ses
sions If tho tax legislation can not bo fin
ished In one This will be necessary for
the reason that In the great ntimbcr ot bills
at a regular session a bill of tho masnltudu
of tho proposed tax law would havo littlo
cbanco to piss So nuny interests will ba
