ELECTION OF SENATORS.

Mr.. Nevin. of Georgia, is the champion
OF resolution which proposes TO COM
NIT that state TO such a change In the
Federal Constitution as will provide Tor
the election OF United States senators py
the people.
That is all right and proper. but II the
people OF Georgia choose they may go
ahead while they are waiting" for TINS
change In the Constitution. In snort
they may nominate their senators by pr
mary elections. Whoever is In favor oi
doing the one thing must OF necessity De
in favor of doing the other. At least
so II seems to us.
Al our state Democratic Convention
held at Roanoke in August last resoiu-
tion committing our party to the primary
oioc,ion system was offered But at tnat
time the question had been little us
cussed i'm the State. Only Few news
napers and public men had brought the
subject TO the attention OF the people
For this reason-and we risk nothing In
saving that only for this reason-the pro-
position was defeated.
Possibly that action Of the party con-
vcntion was prudent. Certainly 1t was
better that It should have been taken
than that primary should have been re-
solved upon by q bare majority vote, ana
OH short notice.
Since that time the subject has been
much discussed. 1t can no longer be
contended that it is a new one to the
voters of Virginia. 1t has been read or
talked about in every political circle in
this Commonwealth. and If we mistake
not. in short time will come w before
the Legislature.
According to our way Of thinking 1t
is not for the Legislature to say that
our party shall" have a primary to
nominate a senator. but it should enact
law legalizing such primary, should
IL be ordered by the proper authorities
of our party
"The proper authorities" would be a
state convention-the sovereign power.
No less a power could order a primary;
but with the conventions order. and
under a law provided in advance by the
oislature, we might try the primary
election system under the most favorable
circumstances. And thus viewing the
matter we say perhaps it was well that
the Roanoke convention pursued the
course it did.
We feel certain that the advocates Of
able to demonstrate that the people want
a primary. Furthermore, they will be
able to propose more satisfactory plan
of election than would have been posi-
BILE under the Roanoke resolution.

SPAIN AND CIDA.

The New York Herald's Madrid special
says that the new Spanish Ministry abso-
lutely refuses to consider the possibility
Of any friction with the United States,
and that the general tone Of the answer
to the Woodford note will run side by
side with the instructions that have been
issued to General Blanco. The same spe-
cial also says that the three great d.
visions of the Cuban Autonomist party
have given their adhesion TO the scheme
of autonomy mapped out for Cuba, and
promised il their entire support, and that
II is believed that Spain will gladly &C
cept the friendly offices of the United
States.
If the information of the Heral1's
Madrid correspondent touching the cha
racter of Spains answer is correct, eaat
answer will be a severe blow to jingoism
in this country, and will seriously inter
fere with the operations of the war-scare
factory, for awhile at least.
But will it cause any practical head
way to be made in the matter of settling
the Cuban question? VIII the Cuban
revolutionists accept the scheme Of au-
tonomy? AS TO that we have grave
doubts There was time when the
Autonomists might have exercised de-
cided influence in inducing the advocates
of free Cuba" to lay down their arms
and compromise on a large measure OF
home government, but the Autonomist
party has been growing smaller by de-
grees and beautifully less ever since
Weyler commenced his career of butchery
in the island, and the cause of the pa
triots has during the same period been
growing steadily stronger with all classes.
The fact is, that while humanity is TO be
congratulated upon SPANS having deter
mined to pursue a more humane course
towards Cuba, the Sagasta autonomy
scheme carries with it a confession OF
doubt as to Spain's ability to end the IN
surrection by force of arms. and in that
light is calculated to stimulate the pa
triots to fight on to the end for inde-
pendence.

THE PRICE OF COTTON.

The cotton States are not only afiiicted
this year by the presence or imminent
danger of yellow-fever. which has cost
many lives and interfered greatly with
business. but is a sufferer from the low
price of cotton.
When we consider that the price of this
great staple has fallen cents pound IN
the course of a twelvemonth. we can
better understand how greatly the ex-
pectations of the farmers have been dis
appointed.
Tobacco. wheat, corn, oats. potatoes,
cattle. and meats are bringing better
prices than formerly, but the cotton
planters as rule are buyers, not pro-
ducers, of those products. So. the good
fortune that has come to other agricul-
turists has but added to our friends i'll
luck.
In the belief of many the size OF the
new crop has been vastly overestimated.
However that may be (and we confess
our ignorance upon the subjecD we ear
nestly hope that better prices VIII pre-
vail ere long. There can be no real and
lasting prosperity in this country until
the farmer is fairly rewarded for his
labors, and there is no more important
farmer than he who causes Europe 10
send us millions and millions OF gold
every year. May the yellow-fever soon
disappear before kindly frosts. and may
cotton take big Jump" and ever after
wards hold its ground.

virginia's Flag First.
DanYille RegisterO

lDdHNlllc INCSlSltiD
Probably the most important question
considered by the Grand Camp, Confede-
rate Veterans of Virginia, was that
to fly the Virginia flag on the public
school buildings Of the State.
The Register considers that the propo-
sition is a good one, for these reasons:
The North, whose sentiments have, more
or less. predominated the entire country,
advocates the United States fiag-the glo-
rious Stars and Stripes. Our children
have been taught and are still being
taught. that the star Spangled Banner"
is the only emblem entitled to venera-
ton and respect. This idea has been
inculcated, until there are now thou
sands of the growing generation who
have thought Of a sovereign State flag
as one of the myths of long ago. As
matter OF fact, however, our forefathers,
whose patriotism cannot be questioned,
maintained that each State that occu-
MES a position in the Federal constella-
ton of stars never surrendered the
claim of its own inherent sovereignty
Therefore. any lesson, either of text
hook or example, that tends 10 keep
alive the original idea of States rights
sbould be impressed on the minds of the
growing generation.
The tendency CT the past few years
has been 10 teach the idea OF one CEN
tralized governing power, TO the neglect
and subordination OF the idea OF the
sovereignty of the State The South has
always maintained, and still maintains
that each of the States has inherent and
constitutional sovereignty, waving GER
tain privileges and powers TO the Gene
raj Government, only because the Union
of certain great principles strengthens
and fortifes the Federal idea to the ex-
tent OF defying foreign Powers, and en-

to the harmonious co-life Of the seVerai
States.
The Register. having accepted In an
good faith the arbitrament or arms III

generation for the emblem or our ma
tior. At the same time. IT has never

THE CRYSTAL MAZE.


V. D. Levltts Gigantic Amusement Enter
prises-One of the Principal Fair
Attractions.
Nowhere in the labyrinth OF tented
amusements adjoining the midway at the
State Fair is there more pleasure and en-
tertainment TO be derived than from the
V. ID. Levitt amusement enterprises, COM
prising the celebrated Crystal Maze" the
London Zoo" in which are to be found
the untamable, forest-bred, and blood
thirsty lion Wallace, the wonderful talk
ing horse Dandy. and the celebrated col
lection of performing dogs, and an extern
siye photograph gallery
The Crystal Maze is one of the wonders
Of the nineteenth century, and being con-
structed on established scientific princi-
pies, is capable of producing some start
ling and realistic Illusions, which will
lead the visitors into the most ludicrous
mistakes. 1t is possible TO look down some
Of the corridors and see crowds Of people
apparently hundreds of feet away. and
yet the entire Maze covers a space of only
30X50 feet. Certain positions enable one to
see 1902 images OF himself. standing in a
row like a column OF well-trained soldiers:

MIN AND WATER.

The wet. sloppy weather that we h"'e
had for several days past brings TO MIND
the fact that our street crossings arc
noor,v attended TO. Yesterday on Nam
street. from Eighth TO Twelfth espe-
cislly. the mud was thick and Shiny. IL
each crossing had been swept with SUN
broom it's condition would have peeh
much improved.
Eut this is no new grievance. 1t Is one
n which we have referred for many
years past Indeed the taking away OF 'ne
raised crossing at intersectins streets
has proved to be an injustice 10 peoes-
TRANS. IL has made our streets better
for horses and vehicles and worse lot
foot travellers.
Richmond should have adopted the pres
ent plan OF paving roadways only az III
accompaniment of a proper street-cieah-
ing system. 1t IS all right where cross
ings are to be continually swept, as they
are in most cities, but is all wrong Where
the people are TO be left to trudge through
the mud. as they have been here for seVe-
raj days past.
Really. it Is wonderful how patient. OF
unconcerned Richmond folk are ABOUT
their streets. We may point TO the condi-
lion of Ninth street between Main and
Franklin I'm proof of this. The Ninth
street pavement has been deterioratlns
for years, and is now at its worst Yet
we have heard of no action that has been
taken by the businessmen Of that vlcihi-
ty 10 protest against this neglect. Ana
the same may be said Of certain squares
on Broad street
In our opinion bad sidewalks on those
streets are hurtful to business, but We
may be mistaken; certainly IT would
seem that we are. in view Of the fact
that as a rule, the merchants murmur
not.
one OF two things our authorities ought
to do-compel abutting property-owners
TO repair or replace these rotten and
ruined sidewalks at their own cost or
have the work done at the public ex-
pense.
This is an era of fine streets and fine
roads. In nearly every city great ad-
vances in this respect have been made
during the past five years. Here, how
ever, our streets are rapidly deteriorating;
they are nothing like so good as they
were five years ago.
In our judgment this decadence has
come about largely through the inatten'
tior, and indifference of our business men.
They give too little thought to the sub
ject. If they would be a little more eX-
acting the city would be compelled TO
give greater attention to Main and Broad
streets and other crowded tboroughfares.
Main and Broad streets and certain
cross streets should be the especial ob-
iects Of the city's care. For years and
years the Dispatch has argued in favor Of
this policy Probably more public In
terest is felt in the subject now than
ever before, but we long to see an over
whelming tide of public opinion rise and
sweep away all excuse and opposition,
and give Richmond the position she is
entitled to have.
