The only practical way, says the Phil
adelphia Times, Of eleCting Senators by
popular vote is that which has been
adopted by the dominant party In South
Carolina. The names OF the several can
didates for United States Senator were
submitted TO popular vote at the Demo
cratic primaries last summer and the
candidate securing the highest vote was
declared the party nominee at the State
convention. The Democratic candidates
for the Legislature regarded this bind
ing instruction 10 them TO vote for Judge
Earle the candidate receiving the highest
vote, with the result that there was no
other Democratic candidate before tho
Legislature. This method could easily be
adopted in every State and by all political
parties, and probably with good results
as it's adoption would create a hostility
popular interest in the choice Of United
States Senators, whereas under the pres
emit practice it often happens that tho
choice Of a Senator in Congress plays NO

Calderhead's Note OF warning.

EDITOR ADvOOATE:-In q hearing
before the Congressional Committee
on Banks on the proposition to estsb-
lish an international bank, Calderhead
of Kansas said:
"The whole United States ls in a
condition of unrest. The under half of
the country believes that 1t ls injured,
and injured largely, by the power Of
aggregated wealth. They actually be.
lieVe IL. They believe It to such an
extent that large areas Of the country
need nothing but leader of ability to
give us an insuTrectiCn. That is the
truth, and that Is the political storm
that will follow any attempt, direct or
indirect, to incorporate the men named
here into private.ban with q capital
OF millions of dollars, and the plea that
it is done for the benefit Of inteFna.
tionsl commerce will not answer that
mob--fOr it Is mob-whiCh only needs
a commanding general to lead it. If
the leader should happen to have the
military instinct it would mean civil
war.
I'll know the temper of these people
and attribute their alleged grievances
partly to their own distress and partly
to the envy of the rich. I do not share
their feelings, but I know the condi-
tions which exist. They believe that
laws are made only to benefit the
wealthy. OF course they are mistaken
In this opinion, but we should do moth
ing to encourage such q belief. have
seen and felt the unrest which prevails,
and / think am only doing my duty
in giving warning of it, now and here"
The above is taken from q press dis.
patch dated at Washington, February
Is, and is significant In this, that IL in
dicates, among other things, that gen.
tlemen OF the school Of political thought
to which Mr.. Calderhead belongs have
been heretofore either dishonest or
blind. Previous to this time the man
who dared raise his voice In utterance
Of such sentiments az those quoted
above was at once set down aB crank,
an unsafe person, dlsturber Of the
public peace and a general all-around
dangerous character.
No one expresses such thoughts az
those voiced by Mr.. Calderhead In any
other than spirit of fear for the fu.
ture welfare Of his country. It is not

in having the regular army sent TO subdue
the riots at Chicago is not matter OF history,
but the prOmptness with which these plans
were carried into execution and property pro-
tected is we'll known TO the public.
