There is a strong disposition in Con-
gress and out of it to do away with
the present system of electing United
States senators, and that instead of
the election being made by the legisla-
lures they should be submitted to the
votes of the people direct. Nc
matter what reason existed, or was
supposed to exist, at the time our
| constitution was framed that the
elections should be in the hands OF
the different legislatures, no reason
can now be adduced for continuing
tie practice. On the contrary the
greatest evils have resulted from
following the unrepublican and
Anticipated law. The people can be
| trusted.

A Winnipeg. Manitoba, dispatch
says that that city is to have battle
royal on the parochial school question
AT the close of Pertinent at Ottawa
Sir Charles Upper will leave for
Winnipeg, and will be invited by the
Conservatives here to stand for
Winnipeg at the forthcoming general
elections. If he accepts the Liberals
will invite their leader, the Hon.
Wilfred Laurier, to oppose him, and
here, at the birthplace of the trouble
some school question, the battle
between giants will be fought. If it
occurs it will be the most exciting
political battle in Canada's history.
Wood county is the home oil
Governor Upham. The Wood County
Reporter, republican paper or that
county, speaking for the republican,
interests, expresses itself as follows:
with his home county against him
and the Eighth congressional district
practically solid against him, the state
| convention would make fine
| spectacle of itself renominating him
IL Gov. Upham is not wise enough tC
see the hand writing upon the wal
plainly written, it is to be hoped thai
the party does. If neither do. the
people will teach them both valuable
lessons in political history. A hint Il
the wise is sufficient"
And the Green Bay Gazette, another
republican paper, expresses itself al
follows on the same subject:
1.-The denomination of Gov. Upham
if il were accomplished, would prove
to be pretty nearly suicidal so far al
the Republican party of Wisconsin il
concerned. In every congressional
district 1.-THE woods are full'' of Re
publicans of influence, having no sorr
of personal ill-will toward the govern
/ or, who are outspoken and positive ii
their declaration that his renomina
tion would mean party disaster ant
might even mean defeat at the poll
in November"

Washington, Sept. 12.-Ye Pom
Gin, the new Corean minister, has
reached Washington, having left Sc
oul two months ago and travelled to
his destination via Shanghai, Yoke
homa, Montreal and New York,
reaching the latter city last night. He
was accompanied by his wife and
son, Ye Me Tam. secretary of lega-
ton; Ye Kyo Sok, attache of the le-
cation and one servant.
The minister is a young man, a
member of the nobility with rank a
little below that of marquis and this
is his first essay in diplomacy. His
wife, who is; the first Corean lady at
the legation since Mrs. Ye Cha Yum
left here in 1892, is remarkably pref
ty, even when judged by American
standard, and her son, Ye Me Hung,
is an exceedingly bright little lad of
10 years, who has already picked up
some English phrases.
Pom Kwong Sob, the retiring min
lister, who was minister of justice be-
fore he came here, last February,
will remain until his successor be-
comes acquainted with Washington
life and his formal presentation to the
president early in October, when he
will hurry back to Corea to become
the head of the kings privy council.

GOT HER PAPERS.

BY Special Wire to the Sunday Light.
Washington, Sept. PA conflict of
opinion arose yesterday between the
civil service commission and the
District Supreme court over the natu-
ralization of young lady who de-
sires to take civil service eXamina-
ton.
Seven years ago Miss Della A. Mea-
ly arrived in this country from Ire
land. She was but 10 years old, and
two years ago took out her first pa
pers. Several days ago she applied
to Judge Cox for her final papers.
They were granted, although she was
not q years old. She filed the papers
with the civil service commission
and they were refused, and Endorsed
on the back that the law prohibited
any foreigner not q years of age
from receiving citizenship papers.
She returned to the city hall with
them, after consultation with several
lawyers, wrote on the back that
Judge Cox had decided to admit her.
The law in the case puts an age quail
ification on a man, but makes no
provision in the case Of woman.
The civil service commission accepted
the papers.

Death Due To Apoplexy Caused By
Great Excitement Political Move
Ments.
By Special Wire to the Sunday Light.
New Orleans, La, Sept. 12.-Book-
keeper Colombee, of the Union Ma
tional bank, died about o'clock this
afternoon, friends say of apoplexy
caused by his great excitement at his
position. He was a short, stout man,
and the explanation is plausible. 9th
ers say he took morphine with suicidal
intent. He had been in a comatose
condition since yesterday morning.
Bookkeeper Leefe stoutly maintains
his innocence and his friends refuse to
believe he was implicated in any crook
edness. If the bookkeepers robbed the
bank as the cashier claims, they must
have had outside confederates. No
hint of these has yet been given. The
bank examiner will check each depos-
itor's book. This will take long time
and until done the public must wait.
The Peoples bank is meeting all de-
mands and il is thought now the dan
ger is past.
The Democratic congressional con-
vention today nominated Ex-Mayor
John, Fitzpatrick for congress in the
first district and Ex-Congressman r.

Ex-Governor Yarmouth has been
acting with the sugar planting Repub-
licans since the st. Louis Republican
convention, insisting on an exclusively
white electoral ticket and complete ig-
noring of the colored brethren. He is
out in letter telling the planters they
hope for recognition unless they recog-
nize Republican principles. This
change of front in Yarmouth is con-
strued as complete surrender to Ma
tional Committeeman Wimberly who
has been opposing Warmouth's view.
An inquest was held on the body of
Louis Colombo, the deceased book
