their candidates in order that a selee-
ton may be intelligently made by
the people.
+ Mr.. Charles ]. Bonaparte (Repub-
lican):
The merits of the suggestion depend
upon the standpoint from which it is
considered. Friends of good govern
ment and pure politics, and honest
people generally. regard it as highly
desirable that the voters. when they
cast their ballots. should know what
they are doing. Politicians in general
and Maryland politicians in particular,
regard this as eminently undesirable,
and always endeavor to blindfold the
people as a preliminary TO putting their
hands into the peoples pockets.
Major Charles NJ. venable Demo
craft:
l am favorable to the suggestion of
having the names of candidates for
the United States senate announced by
the conventions of the two parties.
have long been of opinion that the con-
stitution of the United States ought to
be so amended as TO have senators
elected by popular vote
Thomas Ireland Elliott Republican, !:
1 am heartily in sympathy with any
method of electing United States SEN
ators which Will make the upper house
of congress more responsible and re-
sponsive To the direction and control
of the people.
The need no longer exists, certainly
not TO the extent that was once
thought, for the representation of the
state, as such, as opposed to the repre-
sentation of the people. The senate

lar clamor, but, at the same time, its
members ought not TO feel that their
election has been, or can be, secured
by the manipulation of a legislature
whose individual judgment has been
controlled by other motives and inter
ests than those of the private citizens
who elected them. And yet we have
frequently had senators from our own
state who could never have succeeded
as candidates at a general election.
George r. Gather. jr., (Republican):
The suggestion that the candidates of
the two great political parties for the
United States senatorshiD, to be voted
for by the legislature to be selected
next fall. should he named by the con-
ventions of their respective parties
meets my approval.
| have always been an advocate of
the election of United States senators
by a direct vote of the people, and in
the absence of constitutional amend
ment. the proposed action would prac-
ticallv accomplish this result.
Unquestionably the drift of political
sentiment in many parts of the country
is towards the nomination of senatorial
candidates by state conventions in the
absence of their election direct by the
people. If a change in the present
method of electing United States SEN
ators is made it will not be accom-
plished without strong opposition, for
after all the Americans are very con-
sentative people.

CHARITABLE GIFTS OF THE
RICH

1t is an old saying that a gift horse
should not be looked in the mouth.
There may not be much in the saying,
but there is at least this: it is a SPLEEN
did test of ones breeding But there
are people who not only insist on look
ing a gift horse in the mouth. but on
telling the whole world what they find
there, or fancy they do
Recently Mr.. John D. Rockefeller
gave s25O,0O0 to the mission fund of
the Baptist church. Certainly that
was very munificent gift. When this
gift was announced at the church con-
vention a missionary recently returned
from China declared that what the
church needed was not rich men but
holy men. This missionary displayed
more zeal, or desire for notoriety, than
sense. Where is the inconsistency in
the church having rich men as well
as holy men? Its field is so broad that
it can surely find work for all. And
the rich man with desire to do good
and benefit his fellow man can be
much more powerful instrument for
the accomplishment of good than the
man who is without means Riches
themselves are no more of a sin than
poverty itself is a virtue. Some seem
to think otherwise. And there is no
evidence in the world that this narrow
minded missionary has any higher
nobler aims than the man whose gift
he attacked. Evidently he was ex--
tremely anxious that his right hand
should know exactly what his left was
doing.
This case recalls that of the late Jay
Gould, who some ten or twelve years
ago. made a donation of some thou
sands Of dollars to the church with
which he was connected and which
was rejected because. it was said in
explanation of the rejection, that the
money had not been gotten by right
eous means. The motives of those who
make such objections may be all right.
but their judgment is sadly at fault.
1t is desirable that all men should ac-
quire their money honestly, but when
money is given for the furtherance OF
religion that fact should do much to
sanctify it. The disposition of it makes
it impossible to use it for unworthy
ends
The missionary recently returned |
from China needs to get charity and |
breadth of view. Now he is too |
and narrow.

A NEW ONE ON BILL.

Chicago News: We were waiting al the
Air Line junction for the southern ex-
press--5 or 20 passengers-when we saw a
man come running along the country
highway with his hat in his hand. As he
drew nearer to us he waved his hat and
shouted. but no one could make him out
until h. reached us. He was a man of 80
years and very much excited, and he
had to wait three or four minutes before
he could say:
Gentlemen, my son Bill has broke
loose aud will be here in ten minutes
'Whs.t's the matter with your son Bill?'
asked one of the passengers.
He's the awfulest fighter in all this

barn. cause he was achin to fight and
nobody would fight him. He was Dustin

On the crest of hill half mile away

The passenger leaped Off the platform
and went down the road a few yards TO
meet Bill. who was coming on the jump
and yelling every time he lifted his feet
from the earth. He was q chunky young
man about % years cid. and as he came
up he made straight for the passenger.
Hold on. Bill-dont kill him-dont kill
him. shouted the father, as he rushed
forward. but It was too late. Bill had
rushed at the passenger with his arms

out ard landed on his jaw and laid him
on his back. He did not get up for ten
minutes He lay so quiet that some

THE SCHOOLS.

Yesterday was a great day among
the schools. The results of the years
work was made known, to pupils and
parents. and many hundreds of happy
boys and girls were graduated from
the graded schools and given the GER
tificates authorizing them TO enter the
high school. And many thousands of
boys and girls We're made happy
through having been promoted to
other grades. And those who gradu-
ated from the high school We're made
hapny. If the boys and girls were
happy. as they were, 10 less happy
were their parents.
Interested as all are in the entire
school system, from primary TO uni
versity. still the greatest interest must
ever be in the graded schools, for it is
there the very great majority of our
future men and women complete their
school education and emerge into the
school of experience. These are the
schools of the PEOPLE and they should
be made as excellent as possible.
There is one thing in the graded
schools that needs improvement very
much, and that is the matter of grad
uating the pupils from them at an
earlier age. The majority, and a large
majority, too, of those who graduated
yesterday were above the age of four
teen, while many had reached the age
of seventeen and eighteen. BOYS and
girls should be leaving the high school
at the ages of seventeen and eighteen
years instead of entering it. This is
not the fault of the schools nor en-
tirely of the parents. but largely of an
inferior school system in the past.
Still, after admitting all this, very
large portion of the blame rests with
parents who do not insist upon
the Importance of the early and
constant attendance of children
at school. There is too much
of the theory that nothing is lost
in early years and that time is more
than made up by children starting to
school at a rather advanced age.
The city has a school system of
which it may we'll be proud, but the
effort each year should be to make the
schools better; and the standard for
teachers SnO1lu De raised edcH year
And while the schools have become a
heavy expense to the taxpayers, yet it
is recognized on all hands that the
board of education has administered
the school funds wisely and econom-
ically. And this applies not only to the
present board, but to past boards. The
school system needs to complete it
high school building, but in the present
condition of business, with times so
dull and financial embarrassments so
many. it would be unwise to attempt
to erect one for year or two. Let
the present school Indebtedness be re-
duced before more is incurred.

Speaking of the fact that importers
of Dutch sugar underbid the Sugar
trust on contract TO furnish the gov
eminent with a large amount OF sugar
the Boston Herald says: Probably
the Sugar trust is not sorely grieved
because the United States government
has accepted a bid for 1,25O,00O pounds
of foreign granulated sugar The In
dian bureau is the largest single pur-
chaser of sugar in the United States.
and its offer for bids for the annual
supply is always watched with inter-
est. They were opened last week and
the figures of the foreign bidder were
found to be the lowest. There is not
much doubt that the Sugar trust
could have captured this contract if it
had chosen TO do so, and have made a.
profit on the transaction. but the sue
cess of the foreign bidder gives the
trust an opportunity to set up a Shrek
about the perils threatened to the
sugar refining industry through foreign
competition. That is a part of the
game that is now being played at
