THE PEOPLE AND U. S. SENATORS.

Whether another popular election is
desirable. for any reason. when we al
ready have so many elections. is q
question worthy Of some consideration.
If 1t be necessary In order to secure n
right representation in the u. S. Sen
ate, of course that ends 1t: for that is
q matter OF too much Importance to be
sacrificed to any counting of costs and
trouble. But is 1t necessary? a State
party convention, OF trusty delegates
could nominate the peoples choice for
the Senate, and the legislature would
no doubt elect the man so designated
But if n delegated convention for this
purpose can any more be trusted than
a delegated and sworn Legislature, the
necessity for 1t does not appear when
the people in nominating their leGisla-
tors can also nominate the L. S. SEN
ator they prefer. And if, after all. popu-
lar election seems 10 be Il failure in
the choice of legislators. may it not
also fail in the election of u. s. Sena-
tors. or their nomination, especially
when we consider the forces and In
fluences that Will he brought TO bear IN
ooSii Il |pHitSt' our present loose
methods of nomination and election?
THE VIRGINIAN- PILOT is in full
sympathy with the people in this mat
ter of election of u. S. Senator's: and
whether the Senate itself is intended 10
represent the State. or the legislature
as representative body, or the people.
the Senators cannot represent either
truly, unless they are directly, or in
directly. chosen by the people. The
trainers OF the constitution saw. in the
State legislatures, respectively, the
qualified proxies OF the people of each
State, and they had no vision of such
condition as has arisen in our assem-
blies in relation to the choice of Fed
eral Senator'S. 1t Is therefore perfectly
constitutional for the people, under
these unforeseen circumstances TO
nominate u. s. Senators, or to instruct
their legislators as to their preferences
for Senator. The end in view has our
entire concurrence and support. and
we hope that the May conference in
Richmond may be successful in reach
sng wise conclusion as to how the
reform. now practically agreed on. shall
be accomplished.
THE VIRGTNIAN-PILo likes roast
pig. but 1t does not believe in burn
sng down residence to secure the sue
cuient dish. There are other ways OF
roasting pig. Yet while this or that NAV
be the better way to reach the object
we all want, this paper shall steadfast-
iy abide by whatever the majority may
settle on. This is not only the dictate OF
q reasonable party loyalty, but the
judgment Of common sense, which too
often has seen good things frustra ted
by obstinate differences among their
friends as to ways and means or as to
non-essental details. Let the May
conference. however, remember that il
has nothing to do with nominating n
Senator and that all it can properly do
IS to recommend modus Of choice TO
the people, until the U. S. Constitution
be amended-which IS not apt to occur
at any near date. But we can well do
without the amendment. provided the
legislature Is amenable to the instruc-
lions OF the people, or elect the nominee
or choice Of the people.

Yet some OF our anti Democratic and
trust supporting contemporaries insist
that in discussing the matter OF trusts
we must. logically. make our argument
against all combination in enterprise
and business, and make it good, or
our opposition fails and falls in the
form of law and reason. But here is
what an English writer. contributing
to SO standard an authority as Cham
ber's Encyclopedia, says on this point:
Combination is one of the most OBJ
vious, and. in certain circumstances
one of the most justifiable and bene-
fetal arrangements. Like all other
human institutions. it has it's good and
bad shape-the former, when 1t is used
for protection; the latter, when it is
used for oppression. The
guilds and other societies, whether of
merchants or artisans were combina-
tons established for protection in vio-
lent times; though they were en-
Ployed TO further monopoly and in
terfere with freedom of trade, when
moro equal laws and a higher social
civilization. rendered them unneces-
sary for mere protection from external
oppression"

THE KLoNpIKE QUEEN.
MRS. c. f. Hoover Returns to Dawson
City After u Visit In Ottumwa.

City A1lef SAh1t IN OtuumWa.
Mrs. c. +. Hoover, of Dawson City,
who has been visiting her uncles, II. F.
Michael and p. Overman, on Richmond
avenue, South Side, for the past two
weeks, departed on Burlington No. 3
this morning on her return trip TO the
Klondike. Mrs. Hoover was formerly
OF Utica, Mont, aud has been in Daw-
son City for the past year and cnc-aalf.
She left there last June. with the iH-
tention of purchasing stock at Utica,
Mont, and remaining there. She
found the stock so high that she de-
cidcd not to purchase, but came on to
Ottumwa' to visit her relatives.
In speaking to Courier reporter
this morning Mrs. Hoover, or the
"klondike Queen" the name she is
better known by, said: "The Klondike
is no poor mans country, and unless a
man has plenty of capital he had better
stay away from there. Hundreds of
people, who have been induced to go
into that country by the transporta-
ton companies, are starving. All those
who can get any money at all are GO
ing out as fast as they can secure tick
cts. Many are working their way out.
When asked what mining property
she had up there Mrs. Hoover said:
Il have had three claims near Dawson
City. two ON Eldorado Creek and one
on Gold Hill. | have sold one of the
Eldorado Creek claims. I am now go
i ing back to settle up some business
matters, after which l will return tc
Montana and so into the sheep raising
business" Mrs. Hoover expects t.
reach Dawson City in about fou,
weeks, and will remain there until
spring. She said that during her yeal
and a half stay in the Klondike She
had enjoyed the best of good health
and was never sick for a day.
