The Commercial Gazntto to-morrow in an editorial on Hal- stead's rejection signed by Richard Smith will say "Mr.

Halstcad's appointment as minister to Germany wns rejected not bo- causd ot his unfltnoss for the place for that question never wns aud never could bo raised. Ho was rejected because ns nn editor ho honestly criticized the methods by which men wore elected to the United States sen ate. The origin of this matter wai the election of Henry B. Payne. The editorial then reviews the noted Payne case nnd Justifies the course taken by the Commercial Qazotto at the time.

It says plainly that the defeat of the Payne Investigation was duo to the fuct that certain republican senators "who had been elected by the same method as Payne by fraud were threatened that If the latter would bo investigated the "matter would not stop there. The editorial concludes What the Commercial Gazette said on the whole controversy was the truth. It was the truth when It was written. It is the truth now. Perhaps It was roughly expressed but it was true all the same.

For this Mr. Halstend was defeated and for no other reason. There was no pretense of objection on the grotiud of fit ness. Ho was rejected by senatorial frauds because ho had the courage of his convictions and was not afraid to toll the truth. ThcTresult therefore cannot hurt him but it is bound to hurt the guilty senators.

Perhaps too. It may lead to a Una of thought or increase the force of a line of thought that will abolish the United States senate altogether with its star chamber proceedings or compel change In thu methods of election that will bring that body closer to the people aud force its members outside of money influ ence. Tile people would be startled to know how many seats In the United States senate were bought with money and how many scats are therefore disgraced. This is a business that cannot last. Tlio i coplo will not tolerate it.
