WITHOUT SENATOR'S.
Several States Have But One Rep
resentative in the Upper House.
Should the Constitution Be Amended
So That senators Could BE Chosen
by the Direct Vote of
the People.
Especial Washington Letter. !

One OF the growing questions before
our people is whether members of the
United States senate shall continue to
be elected by state legislatures or by di-
rect vote OF the people.
There are now Is states in the federal
union, and each state is entitled to two
senator's Consequently, if every state
Legislature performed its constitutions
al duty, there would be 90 members
of the national senate. When the CON
Stltution was adopted there were 10
states, each entitled to two senator's;
and the total membership of the ma
tional senate was 20.
Ihlrty-two states have been added to
the federal union since the foundation
OF the government. By purchase, by
cession and by conquest the original
republic has expanded from the At
lantic to the Pacific oceans, and from
the great lakes to the gulf.
But, while the republic has been
expanding, and while its power has
been increasing, men gifted with tai
ents for acquisition have acquired
wealth in great measure. Their sons
have added to the boards by modern
methods of speculation. They ignore
that Scripture which says that it is
harder for rich man to enter the
Kingdom of Heaven than fer a camel
to pass through the gate called the
needles eye. They have laid up treas
ure on earth, seeming to care little or
nothing for laying up treasure in
Heaven.
1t is because of this accumulation of
riches that many of our people be
lieve that legislatures are corruptible,
and that rich men buy their way into
the national senate. No higher honor
can be attained by any man in this re-
public than that he shall be elected
to the national senate; excepting, of
course, the presidency. Rich men coyet
the distinction and the social honor.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1899-06-15

1t ia not a secret that, not many years
ago, man expended upwards of a
quarter of million dollars to secure
his election to the senate.
The salary of senator is only $4,000
year, and the Term lasts but six years.
Consequently when "a man is elected
to the senate his total salary for six
years amounts to 100000. And yet a
man expended quarter of million
dollars to secure an election 20 the
senate. Why did he do it?
He expended that large apount of
money Simply to have the honor of be-
ing "a senator; just as he expended $780,
600 for painting to adorn mis- parlor
just as he expended $3.50, 900 for house
in certain city.
Now when the expenditure of quar-
ter of a million dollars will enable a
rich man to have himself elected to the
senate many of our good people think
that halt should be called. If man
IL one state can control legislature
with money, man in every state might
do the same; and hence no man could
=
without first becoming a rich man.
Moreover, all legislatures might be-
come corrupt.
That is, in brief, the argument made
by the people who favor the election
of senators by direct votes of the peo-
pie. 1t is for the purpose of enabling
poor men to aspire, as they did in the
days of jackson, Polk, Clay, Webster.
Lincoln and Garfield; it is for the
purpose of putting the poor men on
level with the rich men in aspiring
to national honors and distinction that
they advocate the proposed change.
But there is another side to the ques-
ton. If wealth continues to accumu-
late, and rich men continue to aspire,
they will have the advantage anyway.
because they can have bigger meetings,
better brass bands, bigger professions,
more expensive a6d extensive barbe-
cues and other entertainments; so that,
even by direct vote of the people, the
election of senators might be ccrruptly
secured. That is to say, the rich man
who would expend a quarter OF mil
lion dollars to corrupt a state legisla-
ture would spend half a million to inffu-
ence the votes of the people in the vari-
GUS polling places. The millionaire of
the present can as well afford to spend
half a million for the honor as he can
afford to spend u quarter OF million.

Making EyeIet Holes.

The home dressmaker may find it
useful to know that when bodices are
laced instead of being buttoned or
hooked the eyelet holes through which
the cords are passed should be made in
narrow space between two small
whalebone strips. The whalebone on
each side of the row of eyelets prevents
the cord from wrinkling the bodice.
The places for the bones may be pre-
pared, but the bones need not be slipped
in place until the eyelets are made, as
it is much asier to make the latter be-
fore the material is stiffened. Very
small, round whalebones are most often
used for the stiffening, as they adapt
themselves more readily to the curves
of the figure than do the fiat ones,
which will only bend backward and
forward.

A Good Spring Complexion.

Battle the face once a day with hot
water that has little boraX dissolved
in it. Rinse well with cold water, then
dry with white flannel cloth. Rub
with cold cream. To still further inn
prove the complexion, drink a cup OF
hot water before breakfast, another
just before retiring. This aids diges-
ton and when the digestion is good the
appearance of health and good spirits
is beautiful.-Chicago Evening News.

ly to the beauty of a face, and women
should care for these necessary ad.
juncts to their good looks. If the brows
are thin and Informed rub pure grease
or vaseline on them at night, bathing
them carefully in cold water in the
morning and then putting on a little
petroleum. Never brush nor rub the
brows the wrong way. Brush them
daily with a small eyebrow brush and
you will find an improvement. A solu.
ton of rose-water will prove an excel
lent lotion for the eyelashes. They
should be bathed with it every morning.
A little powdered boraX in water is also
good, or even still smaller quantity of
carbonate of soda. If a child has per.
fectly strong, healthy eyes the lashes
may be improved by occasionally slight
ly trimming them; but this practice
should be discontinued as one reaches
maturer years. Brushing the eyebrows
and eyelashes every morning with a
solution of green tea improves them.
There is no better lotion for the eyes
than salt water. An excellent wash for

quantity of sulphate of zinc dissolved in
a quart of water. The eyes should be
bathed in little of this twice daily and
gently dried with soft rag. | have

MRS. ENNIS. THE COLORED NURSE.
All of her superior officers and asso-
ciates, as well as her patients, speak in
the highest terms of her skill, her en-
ergy and devotion.
Mrs. Ennis is a colored woman, a ma

is now 20 years old. She came to this
country with her husband, who was a
steward on the Inflated steamship Elbe,
of the North German Lloyd company,
which went to wreck several years ago
on the coast of Ireland. After his death
she entered the school for trained
nurses connected with the Freedman
hospital for colored people in Washing
ton and graduated from that institu-
ton in April, 1898. From that time I'M
til she went to Santiago in July she was
employed as a nurse in some of the best
families of Washington.
Three other colored nurses went to
Santiago on the 18th of July and still
remain there. They are all from New
Orleans, and their names are Mrs.
White, Mrs. May Williams and Mrs.
Saunders.
Sister Fortunate, colored nun from
the Charity hospital, New Orleans, who
is now in the military hospital in Porto
Rico, is said to be niece of Gen. Gomez.
