THE HENRICO COURTHOUSE con-
ETf(~T

We are sorry to learn that the Board OF
Supervisors OF Henrico County propose 70
open again the question OF building a
new court house for the county.
1t Is NEST extraordinary that this board
should disregard the wishes of so many
of their constituents. IL is said that
counter petition to the one presented by
taxpayers two months ago has been got
ten up. but uron what representations We
90 not know. Certain 1t is. that this Is no
time for any public servants 10 sfeho the
peoples money unnecessarily and arDi-
trarily. II the county has surplus re-
duce taxation; that will please everybody.
If the courthouse cannot be built Wild
out increasing taxation, then let those
who wish to pay more speak up ana let
Us see how much they Will pay
Ii is conceded fiat no private concern
would build a new house for their Dusi-
ness when the cid enc was as suitable as
Honrico courthouse is for the purposes
for which It was intended.

order of this cay.

There has been shown US "Nawter
Perpetual Calendar" the product Of the
mathematical genius and labor OF captain
c. T.. Vawter, superintendent OF the NH
Ter Manual.1.abor School, Of Albemarle
county.
With the least mechanism and with the
most wonderful simplicity, this calendar
can be turned backward thousands OF
years and forward TO an endless fu'ufity'
giving an absolutely correct calendar for
the entire tweve months. and also the
day Of the week for any period. The
amazing thing about It is that IL provides
for the cold style-the Julian-as wei as
the new styic-the Grogorian-calendar'
and also for the elimination of the day
every centennial year which is divisable by
four after emitting the two ciphers, which
was provided for in the GregOrian calen-
dar. To an ordinary mortal this sort OF
work is an unfathomable mystery.

SUNDAY, MARCH y. 1896.
ELECTION or SENATOR'S BY THE
PEOPLE.

1t is most encouraging to find that even
United States senators have. to a certain
extent. learned what the people of the
United States think Of the United States
Senate as il has come TO be constituted.
The report of the Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections in favor OF an
amendment TO the Constitution. providing
that United States senators shall be elect
ca by the direct vote of the people, states
many Of the grounds for the popular dis
satisfaction with the present method, but
Il does not state the chief and the most
important one. The chief ground of dis
satisfaction is that the election Of United
States senators has dcgenerated into
scheme for debauching the elections OF
the people when their State Legislatures
are elected. Corporations or other money
cd interests that wish influence in the
United States Senate, put forward one OF
their tools who has made himself busy
in securing influence with tho party ma
chinery of the party in the ascendancy in
State, and they supply this tool with
money which he spends. when n State
Legislature IS elected in dobauching the
elections or in buying legislators outright,
and thus these corporations come to domi-
nate the Legislature of the State and
cause the person chosen by il 10 be- n
United States senator, TO be a person
representing those corporations instead
OF the people of the State. That is what
has caused the people 10 be dissatisfied
with tAe present method OF choosing
United States senators more than ali other
causes combined. The present method not
only results IN causing United states
senators 10 be representatives of special
interests instead OF the people. but II also
causes the debauching Of their Legisla-
lures and their elections
When we have senators elected by the
direct vote Of the people. ali that VIII
be egded. Each candidate for the place
OF senator must stand upon his merits
as a man. because he must appeal to all
the voters OF a whole state. II VIII be
an honor. indie 4. 20 De United states
senator when that Is tho case. A man
may then go out before all the people
of his State ana ask for their SURFACES
upon the ground that he proposes to adj
vocate certain propositions In the United
States Senate. and the people Will have
full opportunity TO judge whether those
propositions are for their benefit, ana whe-
ther the individual can worthiiy represent
them upon the floor of the Senate. The
Sonata would then rise to its oid-time
plane of dignity and ability.
