ELECTION OF SENATORS

There seems to be almost a unlver-
sal desire of the people of the several
States that United States Senator'S
shall be elected by d direct vote OF the
people. A proposed amendment to
the Constitution is now pending IN
Congress providing for such
elections.
Political parties in several of the
States nave adopted a method for the
expression of the choice of the people
for L. S. Senators which is next to a
direct vote if not practically the same.
In these States the political parties
in their State Conventions nominate
their respective candidates for the
Senate. The nominations thus made
are regarded as binding on he mem
bers of the Legislature elected from
the several counties ard the party
securing the majority Of the leglsla-
ture. elect the nominee or nominees
of the party elected by the State Con-
vention.
Two years ago the Silver party in
its State Convention endorsed Sen
ator ZONES for reelection an1 the Sill
Yer party members in the Legislature
the party press and the rank and Tile
were practically unanimous III mann
tanning that the me'lbers OF the Sill
yer party III the Legislature were IN.
structed by the people and bound t(
vote for Senator Jones Reelection
and said members were practically
unanimously OF the same opinion ant
acted accordingly. The late Stat
Convention of the Silver party unan
imously endorsed Senator Stew; TT 70
reelection. The party which achlev
ed such signal victory i'll the lat
election before the people against tn
combined opposition Of all othe
parties aided by the fey dlsgruntle
members in its own ranks, has II
structed for Senator Stewart.
Moral obligations, political ethie
and party ~exigencies demand OF ii
Silver party members of the leglsl;
t,re they shall hold the will Of II
peopl e so emphatlcally expressed ar
return Vim. NJ. Stewart to the Sena
where he can continue to bait
against the GOLD syndicates, Ham
ism, and the surrender Of the %cOnstitr
ioral prerogatives OF Congress to Il
National banks.
Now, being on the OF the cal
paign of 1900 in which the royal 81
tie of the century will be fought
Silver, State pride, true patrlot1:
and self respect demand that Neva
shall not let ~IIannais1n trail its Sill
banner ir the dust, under any prete
whatever. Stewards defeat wo'
give the goldbugs more aid and co
fort than ony other catastrophe t
could now happen to the u
Silver. He should be elected by
unanimous vote as he vas SIX ye
ago. Patriotism and not petty pa
feeling should continue to prevail
Nevada, and its bright Silver rec
should remain the admiration
true manhood everywhere, untarn,
ed by party jeaousies.

recovered from the previous accident
without any stiffness or apparent per-
msnent injury to the arm, Monday
while playing larger boy tripped him
and he fell, breaking the arm just above
the previous break. The injury is COM
plcated by the nearness of the break to
The previous one, and it is feared the arm
may be stiff. Dr. Douglass reduced the
fracture.

the motion of Judge White of Penn

stantly killed yesterday by Mary Mo-
ran, IA years of age. The latter in play

children are neighbors. In the Moran
house. where the accident occurred, an
infant child lay dead. The father was
arranging to drive to Wilkesbarre to
consult his brother about the funeral.
He had laid the loaded revolver on a
shelf, as he intended carrying it for
protection during his ride home last
night. The Moran girl was arrested
and arraigned before an alderman. Tho

girl and she was released.
