He Had a Record.

TOLEDO had a municipal election
this week that was as unique as
any of them. While the cam
paign was progressing, the effort of
those who opposed Jones, the success
full candidate, was to make it appear
to voters in Toledo as we'll as to the
people of the outside world that the
success of Jones would be worse than
srotesque-they insisted that it meant
great peril to existing institutions.
That was the cry of the franchise grab
bers and the sponsors for the trusts
during the Toledo election These
agencies are, in truth, the radical ele-
ment in this country's business life.
They will not listen to argument, they
refuse to discuss any Industrial cues
ton. Conscious that their combination
Of forces and of money gives them
tremendous power they move ahead
in their arrogant way, resolute on
crushing those whom they cannot whip
into line
In Toledo stockholders in corpora
tons that have been made rich
through the ownership of public fran
chises fought Jones with fury. They
tried to dismiss him with contempt,
they pursued the same tactics that
were adopted by Mr.. Hanna in the
presidential campaign of 1S96-they de-
nounced as lunatics and as dangerous
men all citizens who ventured to OPP
pose them. In Toledo these rich ele-
ments banded together, and they were
not willing to admit that Jones was a
whit better than any burglar
Jones beat them all out He ran as
an independent candidate. He polled
more votes than the combined vote of
his two opponents in the mayoralty
race-his plurality was about five thou
sand. In broad sense Mayor Jones
is a socialist. Some of his ideas GER
tainly are visionary; some of them
might almost be described as revolu-
tionary. Jones is popularity known as
the "golden-rule mayor" his theories
are held in derision by those who oppose
him. But, at this weeks election, Mr.
Jones had in his favor one argument
which the opposition could not over
come. He had his record for his first
term in the office of mayor and it could
not be successfully assailed. With the
people he was stronger than the fran
chise grabbers, the corporations and
the partisan press.

| ginia democrats say it is peculiarly APP
propriate that Virginia should take the
! initiative in the movement since it was
! the Virginia delegates to the original
/ constitutional convention who solidly
and vigorously fought the clause pro-
viding for the election of senators by
legislatures, and it was 1.-The other emil
nent Virginians who subsequently OPP
posed most ably the permanence of this
provision, which, after more than Il
century, has become pretty generally
/ accepted as bad" The address declares
that the demand for a change in the
method of electing senators is SO wide
spread and imperative that the issues
raised thereby can be no longer wisely
or safely avoided. The sentiment in
favor of the election of senators by di-
rect vote of the people is not of recent
origin; but its growth in the present
decade is unequalled in our history.
That it has been quickened by the
shocking disclosures of the legislative
scandals which have disgraced many Of
the states of the Union is painfully APP
parent, and their effect upon the public
conscience can not have escaped the
most Indifferent observer of passing
events. Indeed, the situation has be-
come well nigh intolerable in many of
the states. The people of Virginia can
not remain insensible to conditions so
fraught with peril to our institutions"
Following a review Of the early Vir-
ginia patriots upon the question,
the address, while admitting the pres
ence in the senate of statesmen of high
ability and admirable character makes
the assertion that the average intelec-
tual and moral stature of it's members
is growing less and less while the intel
lectual cultivation of the masses of the
people attains daily higher and higher
stages. The senatorial contests of re-
cent dates in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Della
ware. West Virginia, Wisconsin, Neva-
da, Utah, Nebraska, California, Mary
land and Montana are referred to as
presenting "close series of hideous
scandals such ,as shock the moral sense
of the country, while at the same time
furnishing new and indisputable testi-
mony against the wisdom of plan cap
able of such dissertation and abuse
The address then says that the case
has gone beyond the argumentative
stage and the time for action looking
to the immediate application of the
remedy, which is the change of the
constitution. is at hand. The minds of
the people are made up, it is declared,
and the repeated action of the house of
representatives in voting to submit an
amendment to the people and the per-
sistent failure of the senate to act in
the matter is reviewed, the latter being
pointed to as further evidence that the
remedy has been delayed too long.

By Popular Vote.


rHE Virginia democrats will hold
convention in Richmond on
May II, the object of which will
be the Inauguration of a national move
ment to elect senators by popular vote
They propose to set on foot plan for
national convention at some central
point. to which delegates from all the
states will be asked to come and con-
slider the most effective means to force
the submission of the desired constitu-
tional amendment to the people.
There are two ways by which amend
ments to the constitution may be effect
ed. THE congress-" says the constitu-
ton, whenever two-thirds of both
houses shall deem it necessary, shall
propose amendments to this constitu-
tion or, on the application of the legis-
Iatures of two-thirds of the several
states, Shall call convention for pro-
posing amendments, which, in either
case shall be valid to all intents and
purposes as part of this constitution
| when ratified by the legislatures of
| ihree-fourthS of the several states"
! The object of the national convention,
! which is expected to eVentuate from
! the present project in Virginia, will
| be to perfect an organization and start
Il movement that will either force con-
| gress to propose the amendment pro-
+! viding for election of senators by direct
vote, or will cause a sufficient number
of lesiSlat lures to apnlV for a call far :,
convention to make the congress issue
the call. The former is the more desir-
able way to bring about the reform,
because it is more direct and involves
less delay and expense.

Princess Not a Good Sitter.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Shortly after the marriage of the
Prince of Wales to the beautiful Alex
andra of Denmark a number of art
lists requested permission to sketch the
princess for elaborate portraits of her
youthful royal highness. Firth partic-
ularly being court painter at the time,
was much interested in getting the
princess to pose for his picture Of the
marriage. But the lady was a very
poor sitter, resenting keeping still. Poor
Mr.. Firth in despair appealed to the
prince.
you should scold her." said he with
a laugh Mr.. Gibson, the sculptor, had
the same sad story to tell of his ex-
periencies.
There, my dear" remarked the new
ly made husband. "you see, you sit
properly neither to Mr.. Gibson nor Mr..
FIRTH
II do. I do" exclaimed the princess
emphatically, then turning to the art
lists she added poutingly: "You are a
couple of very bad men,"

~ R operations in Hawaii and in
" the Manila region appear to have
given a literal meaning to the
generality current in this country that
the American people know mo East,
no West The curious circumstance
IS that our new Pacific possessions are
referred to by the American press
sometimes as the eastern domain and
sometimes as a step in the westward
march OF our empire. Probably most
people assume the places where the
United States has recently been oper-
atlns to be part of the Oriental world,
but when you start for them from our
Pacific coast you sail westward and
keep constantly on that course, so that
the occasional press mention one finds
OF our new western possessions is at
least in accordance with natural no.
tions as to the points of compass.

+ YTAHS man Roberts will not
down, either of his own motion
or with the consent of the Amer
lean public. This Mormon claimant to
seat in congress was as good as killed
off before the recent session of congress
came to its close Had there been an
extra session, there is no doubt that his
presenting of himself as a member-elect
of the house of representatives would
nave brought on controversy in which
he would have been worsted. Mani
testify, the crusade kept up last January
and February was prompted by the
feeling current at that time that there
would be an extra session.
When it transpired that the new con-
sress was not to be summoned the peo-
pie who are in pursuit of Roberts real
lied that it's long time from March
until December; they We're willing to
believe that having killed Roberts off.
so far as the extra session was con-
cerned, they would probably have to
kill him again, in anticipation of the
regular session in December; and they
are at it.
The activity in the anti-Roberts crus-
ade is best attested by the recent re-
marks of Congressman Olmstead, a
house member from Pennsylvania. Fall
ing in with a reporter for the Washing
ton Post. at the Shoreman, last Sunday
the congressman asked the reporter to
say What in his opinion the uppermost
question is at the present time in the
| minds of the American public OF
| course, the reporter suggested the Phil
| ippine business. Mr.. Olmstead rejoned
with the remark that, in his opinion.
| the question of the seating of Roberts
is as live a topic as there is to-day be-
fore this country.
In sense Mr.. Olmstead speaks by the
card. He is member of the house
committee on privileges and elections.
| and before that committee the case of
Roberts will probably be fought out,
SO far as all of it's preiminaries are
concerned. MI. Omstead declares that
| he is simply deluged with communica-
tons of every sort in protest against
| Roberts and that these protests come
| from every quarter of the United
States. His own words are these:
Every day. the Lord sends brings NE
in the neighborhood of a bushel of let
| tiers, all protesting against seating the
| Utah man, on the score of his alleged
| practice of polygamy. Bulky petitions
with hundreds of signatures of church
| people come to me from North and
| South, from East and West Ministers
| Of the gospel write me long commune
cations, advising that the seating of
| Roberts would be a reproach and shame
| to the nation. Hundreds of women cor
! respondents write in the same vein, and
, the seriousness of the writers cannot be
! questioned. OF course, l have no idea
what the house will do in the matter,
| but judging from the powerful stir the
case has created. it will be difficult, it
seems to me. for the house to ignore the
matter entirely"

Now. in time of peace, the outlay on
education in European states is only from
one-half to one-twelfth the expenditure
for ornaments. In the last 80 years
Europe has doubled this expenditure, only
to have the nations relatively where they
We're before. Bankruptcy and reputation
must be the outcome of the present pol

scale in Europe mean no foreign market
