The old saying, when in peace pre-

fact that although the war with Spain
is over, the Navy Department will
open bids for the construc ton of q

stroyers' Of the most improved order.
The torpedo boats will be what might
be termed the Porter improved. They

The people of the State want good
government-they know that liars
never give good government. Our
Home, Of Mars1ville, says:
The Monroe Eoquirer says a reliable
citizen of Marshvllle informs it that all
Populists in Marshville township who
were formerly Democrats except two,
have returned to the Democratic party.
This report from the alleged reliable CD
citizen is a slander to the truth and
honesty of our citizens. Even Demo
Gratis were made to blush with disgust
when they read the report" So far
az our knowledge goes land we under
stand conditions here better than any
where else) not a single Populist in the
township has returned to the Demo

not be given all the power until they
demonstrated to the satisfaction of all
that they we're able to govern them
selves. The couneels of this element
prevailed, and this is why the Presi
dent, Vice President, Federal Judges
and United States Senators are rot
now elected directly by the people.
But the Constitution of the United
States has now been in operation more
than a century; the republican form
of government is no longer an expert
ment, but an acknowledged SUCCESS; !;
there is no longer an honest man who
fears to trust the people. for while
kingdoms and empires have deCayed
and are now but a memory, the people
in free America have built up a great
aud glorious nation.
So surprising was the growth of the
American republic that we doubt not
that were the trainers OF the Constitu-
tion alive today they would be among
the most earnest advocates Of election
of all off GERS by direct vote of the peo-
pie.
The world moves and we must move
with it. Time has, to use hOmely
expression, knocked out the props"
from under the theory that the people
are incapable of self government and
the spirit of progress demands an
amendment to the Constitution pro
viding for the election of President,
Senators and Federal Judges by popu
lar vote. To show that this reform is
gaining ground, it is only necessary to
say that on the 11sh Of May, last, the
following ] lint resolution on the sub
j sct was passed by the House of Rep
resentatives:
"ResoIUtd, by the Senate aud House
OF Representatives Of the United States
of America in Congress assembled,
| 1.-TWO thirds of each House concurripg
thereby That the following amend
nnents be proposed to the Legislatures
Of the several States, which when

the Constitution, namely: In lieu of
the first and second paragraphs OF
section three of article one Of the Con
stitution of the United States of Amer
lea, the following shall be proposed as
an amendment TO the Constitution,
which shall be valid to all intents and
purposes as a part of the Constitution
when ratified by the legislatures Of
three fourths of the States:
Section g. The Senate of the United
States shall be composed Of two Sena-

years, end each Senator shall haveon

After several weeks of publicity and
severe comment in many newspapers,
there ia an effort being made to dis
credit the report concerning Judge
Adams charge to the grand jury at
hesuperior Court of Colu nbus county.
1t is passing strange that if the judge
was misquoted in so grave matter
that he and his friends did not take
prompt steps to set the matter right.
However badly he was miequoted or
misinterpreted, it will be hard to change

WASHINGTON, March 7.-There were
no less than five important events today
having bearing more or less direct upon
the troubled relations between the United
States and Spain, viz: The introduction in
congress by Mr.. Cannon of a resolution
carrying $50,000,O00 for the purpose of de-
fense: the withdrawal by the Spanish gov
ernment of its intimated objection to the
continuance in office of Consul General
Lee: the order of the cruiser Montgomery
to proceed to Havana in place of the Fern;
the passage through the house of the bill
increasing the artillery army by two regi-
ments. and the institution of negotiations
looking to the purchase of warships for
our navy.
Mr.. Cannons resolution led all other top
les In interest, particularly when II became
known that 1t was the result of confer
ence between the author, the president,
Senator Hale and other leading spirits in
congress.
CONSUL LEES CASE
AS for General Lees interests, the news
of the satisfactory ending of the incident
through the withdrawal of the suggestion
by Spain was expected as soon as it Ayas
noted that a loophoie had been left open
through the failure to make the COM
plaint in anything like an official shape
Some fear is expressed that the consul
general will not find his post very congen-
ial, now that he knows he Is an unwelcome
guest at Havana, but the administration
Is relying upon his devotion to the welfare
of the Americans in Cuba and American
interests generally to submit his own per-
sonal wishes to restraint, and remain at
his post.
Late in the afternoon Senior du Bose, the
Spanish charge. received cipher telegram

Senior Gullon, saying you can dlsavow
the rumor that any official application has
been made for the recall of Gen. Lee"

Sundays ball game turned out
about the same way mott hall games
do. when played with the home
team.
The visiting nine consisted OF men
from Ora velleville and Buchanan, the
best men heing chosen In each case.
Little Fails had couple Of outside
men.
The score at the close of tho first
inning stood 2 TO S in favor Of the
home them. The next inning each
side scored one. For the next four
innings the visiting nine failed to run
a man across the home plate; being
whiteweshed each time. Little Falls,
to the contrary, seemed to do moth
ing but run during these four innings.
They scored q runs during this time.
This completed the sixth inning,
which really closed the game, with a
score of ~ to 8 IL favor Of Little
Falls. The first half Of the seventh
inning was played, Buchanan being
at the hat. They scored six runs,
which were not counted as tho last
half Of the inning was not played.
The umpire then called the game
believing it unnecessary to play
farther. az rain was eateniDg,
which would have proved a him
drance.
A large number of people were ont
to witness what was expected to be
q "stiff" game, but they were sOrely
disappointed. At times good plays
were made, but generally 1t was q
