West Virginia United States Senators
A telegram from Charleston, w. Va,
dated on Monday last, states that IL was
once thought there that United States
Senator FAULKNER would be reelected
without opposition, but that ex-senator
CAMDEN had come out for the place, and
the result was now doubtful. 1t is little
remarkable that Senator KESNA should
have been given up 20 die just at this time.
However, Mr. CAMDEN is not by any means
the foremost man in the Democratic party
in West Virginia. There are numbers OF
Others who are his superiors in many re-
spects. and especially as constitutional law
yers. qualified TO take part IN the discus
SION of any questions that may arise in the
Senate.
We would 10y no means disparage Mr.
CAMDEN. He served his State we'll for n
number Of years as one of her United
States senators. If he shall be sent back
10 the Senate we shall not complain.
There may be two senators to elect, and
both FAULKNER and CAMDEN may be chosen.
Rut we would fam hope that Senator KEN
MA will recover his health

Electing United States Senators.
The United States statute on the subject
provides that United States senators shall
be elected, OF rather that 5alloting shall
begn, on the second Tuesday after the
meeting and organization of the legisla-
lures whose duty it IS to elect them.
The condition in which the mem
bers elected to several of tho Rocky.
Mountain and Northwestern State legls-
laturos find themselves indicates that
the organization of those bodies may be
postponed for some time and the election
of United States senators postponed still
longer.

Minhinan.

1t may be taken for granted that there
ore as good lawyers in Michigan as there
are in any other State. II so, all the talk
in the papers about the new Michigan
Legislature choosing new electors of
President and President of the
United States is bald nonsense. The
Federal Constitution requires that the
electors shall all be chosen on tho same
day. There is no necessity for comment
upon that plain fact.

Free-Coinage Senators from

Free Coinage Senators from New York
The New York World asks, ;" Is not one
free-coinage senator from New York
enough" This interrogatory implies two
things which we are glad to learn-name-
ly. first, that Mr. HILL is free-coinage
senator. and second. that Mr.. MURPHY ,cia
be a free-coinage senator. Yet, it is not our
belief that either of the gentlemen named
IL an advocate OF the free coinage Of silver.
Now York city is too rich in millionaire
Democrats TO be in favor of the election of
United States senators who would vote to
open the minis TO the free coinage of the
white metal. We give the Worlds inter-
rogatory for what it is worth.

Burdette Discusses Life As He Found It
in the Coach.
Everyone has observed the easy IA
cility with which some people can ac-
complish the apparently delicate cere-
mony of the introduction of two
strangers to each other by a third
stranger, writes Robert j. Burdette in
Ladies' Home Journal This social
phenomenon is oftenest seen in public
places on public conveyances.
| was recently making a journey
across small portion of this planet,
sitting alone by the car window and
hoping that nobody had taken the
upper fiat in my compartment, when
man whose freshness chilled me seated
himself opposite me, threw his feet
airily upon the seat beside me. saying
in loud tone and with extravagant
hospitality, MAKE yourself at home!"
He explained to me. as | received his
advances with somewhat cold re-
spect." that a young lady of forty-eight
summers was occupying the lower
floor of his section, and had appropri-
ated his seat for her baggage-room,
while at the same time she had trans
formed the entire premises into cold
storage apartment The man said that
he had sat amidst her baggage until
the cold chills began to run up and
down his back and he had no doubt he
was even now on the direct road to an
attack of pneumonia He then went
on to inform me in that easy. confden-
tial, autobiographical turn that he
lived in Kolusa, Upton county, when
he was at home; he had been married
twice and had five children-al born
to him by his first wife. Three boys"
he said. and remained for moment or
two in silence, when he suddenly
looked up and added, and two girls"
You cannot imagine what load was
lifted off my mind when learned what
those remaining children were. You
see, he hadn't told me, and felt deli
cate about asking. The man noted the
look of interest on my face and went
on with his narrative. His first wife
was woman of very respondent tenn
permanent; as good a woman, he said,
as ever lived, but was always afraid
something was going to happen; al
ways worried about the children or
something. She was good mother to
the children. too; but, then, she was
never well-always sick with some
kind of complaint. This, the man
said, made it almighty hard for him.
He sighed so deeply at the remem-
brance of the hard lines through which
he had passed that sympathized with
him and asked him if this continued
illness seemed to affect his wife any
'Oh, no." he said; not so much as it
did him; she appeared to get sort of
used to it.

A Marh,ehead Expression.

while at Marblehead. Mass" said
a lady who had recently visited that
quaint town. II sometimes heard the
people use an expression that at first
thought might refer to Voltaire's Nine
Miles from a Lemon Afterward
heard the story which gave rise to the
saying, and it is good enough to re-
peat: In the early colonial days, when
there was no conveyance to Salem ex-
cept a small ferryboat, there lived at
Marblehead worthy housewife with
lazy, worthless husband. He never
offered to go to Salem, for it was a
good mile to the ferry, and then much
