SENATOR'S BY DIRECT VOTE

In his speech before the Senate yester-
day Senator Palmer sounded the true note
of the cry for constitutional amendments
to make the election of Senators de-
pendent upon the direct vote of the peo-
pie without the Intervention of State
legislatures. By passing such amendments
the Senate will indeed attain position in
popular favor which it has never vet held.
There are few men better fitted to advo-
cate the reform than the Democratic Sem
ator from Illinois, who owes his own pres
ence in the Capitol to the direct express
sion of the wishes of his constituents.
The greater the decentralization of cleo
toral powers, the greater are the difficult
ties in the way of wholesale corruption
whether of money or of patronage. A
measure of this kind, if passed, will in
sure more truly representative body in
future Senates than in those of the past
But this resumption of rights by the peo-
pie will bring with it the increased re-
sponSibility which always attends en-
larged powers. Hence voters cannot too
soon begin to practice the independence
of thought and action for the exercise of
which this amendment will give them in
creased opportunities.

THE ONLY WAY,

By resigning Mayor Wyman has made
the best of a bad job. The prime object of
the actions which resulted in a verdict
finding the Mayor of Allegheny guilty of
eXtortion has been obtained by the vindi-
cation of the law, securing the removal
of the disgraced official He has been
made an example of by the ignominy
which attended the disclosures, and those
who follow him will be warned that there
are rules for the regulation of their con-
duct which they cannot disregard with
impunity.
But the lesson should be for the people
as well as for the candidates and Office
holders, and voters shold learn from this
expose that there cannot be too much care
exercised in the use of the franchise. All
this trouble might have been saved by
insistence at the beginning that the can
didate understood what was demanded of
him and distinctly pledged himself to satisfy
that demand In other words, the electors
must make it clear that they will support
no one who fails to give evidence of that
suitability for Office, which includes
honesty of purpose and capability to fulfill
the promises made in asking for election.

PROGRESS IN BOSTON

The growing interest in the ameliora-
ton of the lot of the harder worked por-
tion of humanity is evidenced by the
opening of Andoyer House, Boston. The
institution is planned much on the lines
of Toyubee Hall, London. 1t is for the
benefit of the poor, but not exclusively of
the destitute. 1t will form a center for
the organization of all existing efforts to
reach that class which, from force of cir
cumstances enjoys less of the good things
of this world than go to make life's full
ness. But by these good things is not
meant merely the concrete blessings
which can be distributed by almoners, but
the pleasures of life, the amenities of cul-
tivation and the opportunities for mental

THAT DIPLOMATIC WASH

The national capital is beautiful city.
One Of the best features is the width and
cleanliness of its streets and avenues. At
a time when the whole tendency
Of Washington is to become a
winter resort for the wealthy, with
a corresponding rise in prices which is a
hardship for poorer people obliged to live
there, it is amusing to find that the econo-
mic principles of Herr Buddecke, Chan
cellor OF the German Legation, lead him
to make use of small park-like enclosure
in front Of his house as drying ground
for his weekly wash. The neighbors OBJ
ject, and it seems undoubted that the
Chancellor is trespaSsing on city property,
but from the privileges which attach to
members of legations it is impossible to
take legal action against him.
in this age OF extravaganza it is delight
ful to find that Herr Buddecke's migra-

ton to this land of wealth has in no wise
modified the principles of frugal simplicity
which are so characteristic of his own
nation. The matter is not serious, of
course. except in so far as the residents
near the German Legation are determined
to leave no stone unturned to secure what
they believe to be their rights. 1t would
be contemplate to make an international
question of the drying of Herr Buddecke's
household linen, but there will be no other
outcome if the Teuton persist in his
practices. 1t would be only graceful for
the Chancellor to retire from his untenable
position, and demand an increase in his
salary to compensate for the enlargement
OF his laundry expenses. 1t is very poor
diplomacy for foreign representative in
any country to take advantage Of his
privileged position to cultivate the an
tagoniSm of the citizens among whom he
comes to live, and with whose customshe
should accord.

A Woman's Heart Found to Be Located in
Her Right Side

CHICAGO, Feb 1S.-A clear case of suicide
was the finding of the Coroners jury upon
Annie Munson, the Iaundress, who died
from arsenical poisoning. The testimony
of witnesses brought out The fact that the
young woman was Respondent the Sunday
morning preceding her death owing to the
desertion of her lover, Rudolph Berling,
after he had promised to marry her. At the
post mortem examination held by DR.. HEX
toen most peculiar and rare anatomical
condition was found in addition to traces of
arsenic.
In speaking of the case after the inquest
had been held in OToomes & Cummings
undertaking establishment at No. 4l25 State
street DR.. Hektoen said that in holding
nearly 2,000 post mortem examinations he
had never found as complete case of trans
position as he had in the MunSon examina-
tion. every part was clearly transposed,"
continued the surgeon, ''and had been SO from
birth. The heart was upon the right side,
and the other members of the viscera were
completely transposed. 1t is rare and
most unusual case, and one that is well
worth receiving careful attention from sur
geons. The woman suffered no inconven-
ience therefrom, however, and from talks
have had with her acquain tances and
friends have learned that she paid but lit
tie attention to the transposition of her
vital organs"

THE IMMIGRATION PROBLEM.

The immigration question as a whole
daily assumes more serious aspect and
demands the attention of Congress. The
| difficulties in dealing with the matter are
numerous and complicated, and this is nc
place for complete solution of the prob
lem, though there is roon, for suggestion
of some of its bearings. We cannot ex-
clude the poor, for poverty is no crime,
and such an exclusion would be contrary
to the whole spirit of our Constitution.
We pride ourselves on offering an asy-
lum to political refugees so that we can
not demand certificate with each passen-
ger from the police of the country he has
left Butwe must keep out the physically
or mentally MANNED, those suffering from
contagious or infectious disease, and all
such as are likely to become public
charge through incompetence or criminal
ity.
The way to do this is by making the
steamship companies legally responsible
for the conduct of theirsteerage passengers
for period after their landing. The best
method would be by an enactment requir-
ing the shippers to pay heavy poll tax
into an insurance fund. Then, careful
record having been kept of the amount
paid, the person for whom it was paid and
the company making the disbursement,
there should be an annual assessment
made of the charges incurred by public
treasures on account of immigrants, and
if there were a balance from the tax it
should be proportionately redistributed as
a rebate to the original payers. In this
way the steamship companies could be
equitably held responsible for the char
acter of their importatons. without lessen
ing the volume of immigration useful for
and needed by the country. This would
involve care, but it is the most feasible
method of controlling the torrent which at
present tends to become unmanageable,
and which cannot be cut off in its entirety
without damage to our development and
violation of our national principles.
Our lawmakers take long to make up
their minds and longer to embody their
opinions in enactments, but there is much
improvement possible in the meantime
with the existing machinery. First and
foremost, the health inspection must be
rigidly carried out and penalties for in
fringement of the law must be inflicted
with the utmost possible severity. If the
steamship companies continue to treat
their immigrants as cattle they must be
taught the false economy of such a policy
by firm insistence on a clean bill of
health. No penalty can be found too
severe for the punishment of those who
attempt to conceal disease which disre-
garded would threaten the lives of thou
sands. As things are done at present, the
quarters Of steerage passengers are we'll
calculated to encourage vice and breed
disease, and no mistake must be made in
letting the responsible parties understand
that the evil must be either removed or
carried on at their expense and under no
to the cost of the United
States

HUNTING FOR A LOST NINE
Three Men Start on Search in the Colo
radO Desert.


SAN FRANCISCO Feb. 1s.-lSpecidL Next
Sunday Thomas L. Doran and three COM
panions all experienced in desert travel will
start from here to hunt for the lost Peg Leg
Mine, which has been one of the mysteries
OF the Colorado desert for 80 years. Doran
will pack a train of burros at Sandiego with
provisions for six months and he will thor
oughly explore the desert country where at
least a dozen of his predecessors in this
search have left their bones. The lost mine
was discovered in 1880 by an old trapper
known as Peg Leg Smith, who found gold
nuggets on three little hills, but did not
know these we're gold till he reached Los
Angeles.
When gold was discovered by Marshall,
Peg Leg Smith determined to hunt for this
desert mine, but was driven of by Indians.
About 1856 miner was brought into San
Bernardino almost dead from thirst in the
desert. He recovered and showed rich
specimens which he found in three hills, not
far from Warmers ranch, and which, from
the description, were identified as the Peg
Leg Mine He had 81 900 in nuggets and dust,
and gave the doctor who cured him $1,000.
He arranged to lead Il party to the mine, but
suddenly sickened and died and hiSsecret
perished with him. Within the last ten
years no less than five parties have started
to search for the Peg Leg Mine In each
case disaster and death have followed them.
