EnIivening Politics.
Norfolk Ledger.)

The address recently issued TO the
Democrats of Virginia by fifty promi-
ncnt members Of the party from various
portions of the State in favor OF move
ment 20 elect United States Senators by
Il vote of the people rather than by the
Legislature, will have the effect of en-
livening the politics OF our State consid-
erably during the approaching summer
and fall. The question IS one that has
agitated the voters of other States 10
such an extent that in several States the
legislatures merely go through the form OF
electing senators, the real work having
been performed by the people in primary
elections. \ long time must necessarily
elapse before the Constitution Of the
United States can be changed 20 meet

tors should be chosen i'm the same manner
that Governors are. but the Democratic
party, in convention assembled, by
voting IN favor OF senatorial primaries.

accomplish the desired result in short
order.

The Chicago preachers refuse 10 fol-
low the lead of their New York brethren
in the "hats-on" order. 1t may be that
they feel they are treading on quick
sands, especially at this season, which
viii in few days witness a renaissance
of millinery. The New York women re-
belled against the mandate Of their min
listers, but were ultimately compelled to
yield to it.
At a recent meeting OF a Chicago wo-
mans club, the matter was discussed
with that animation and loquacity which
Is occasionally found in such organiza-
tons. one member said:
81 do not believe the woman exists who
doesn't look forward 10 the pleasure of
wearing a new hat. and what possible
pleasure would it be to wear n hat to
the church door and take it off when you
got inside. only to crush IT to pieces as
you held it in your lap during the SER
vice? l think the whole discussion silly,
absolutely silly, and the preachers who
advocate our taking off our hats are
stll siller. Why, what would Easter be
without the Easter hat?"
We fully concur with this lady, Never
yet have we seen a woman who didn't
look forward 10 the pleasure of wearing
q new hat, and, what is more, we do not
wish to see one. 1t isn't the wearing of
timidates the average man; it's the cost
OF the botanical and archaeological speci-
mems thereon.

Miss Ann Russell Allen, OF st. Louis,
has rejected u real, live nobleman, and it
was all on account Of his avarice. Last
spring, while the young lady was at Lu-
cerne, Switzerland, she met Count Paul
Festitics de Tolna, Of Budapest, and the
two became engaged. The coming we'd
ding was announced, and everything was
almost fixed when Miss Allen learn
ed that the Count was instruct
ing some Of the commercial agen-
cies here to send him data as
to the Allen finances, and to ascertain
what share Of the estate would come to
his fancee. Another unpleasant discovery
was the unearthing of the fact that the
Count was "a man with a past"
But the first news was sufficient for the
young lady and she acted promptly. For
tunately for her, she is stir in Europe,
and Will therefore escape the brunt Of
the gossip which the affair will necessa-
rily stir up.
Henceforth. European nobility should
require eligible American heiresses to be
bonded by guarantee companies before
they enter into matrimonial negotiations
with them. 1t would be safer, and might
avert the embarrassment TO which Count
de Tolna has been subjected.

Ny baby's kiss is the sweetest thing

Under the caption. "Why We Should
Wish to Colonize," the New York Herald
says:
"The report of the Chief Of the Bureau
Of Statistics, just TO hand. sets forth IN
plain figures that the United States have
been spending more than S2j0OC0,0O0 year
for "a class Of products the power to pro-
duce which is now brought within our
own domain by the acquisition of Cuba,
Porto Rico, Hawaii. and the Philippine
Islands"
So we have acquired Cuba? We had
thought that we were simply holding
Cuba until the Cubans could establish a
free and independent government of their
own. 1t seems. however. that we We're
mistaken. for the Herald is very close
to the President. and generally knows
whereof it speaks when treating of his
policy.

BURNS CANDIDACY
|NJUR|NG QUAY
Friends of the PennSyl-
Vanian Are Angry.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-THE Herald has
the following from Washington: Quays
friends and supporters are on the ragged
edge. They appreciate the desperate
situation Of the Pennsylvania boss, and
are moving heaven and earth to save him
from rejection by the Senate. They are
angry because Colonel Burns malodorous
record has been used TO the disadvantage
of Quay. for 1t has been made TO appear
that If Quay is admitted this precedent
might also cause the Californian to be
seated. They declare that Burns and
QUAY should be disassociated, and that
the Pennsylvania should not be made to
suffer for the sins of Burns.
The Philadelphia North American is
owned by John Wanamaker, the political
arch-enemy of Quay; and Arthur Nc
Even has been writing letters from
Washington 10 that paper exposing
the San Francisco Call have freely clrcu-
lated among the Senator'S for some time,
so that all Senator'S are by this time fully
aware OF Burns character.
Quay'S friends have even gone so far
as to write TO Burns supporters in Cali
fornia begging them TO cause 10 be pub
lished a statement declaring that Burns
will not accept the Senatorship IL he be
appointed by Governor Gage, but that he
seeks ''vindication" and election by the
Legislature of California.
1t is, of course, expected that such
statement, If made by Burns friends, will
not commit Burns himself. but will at the
same time improve Quay's own prospects
for IL is known that five or six Senators
would vote for Quay but for the knowl-
edge that this would set a precedent for
Burns admission.
If Burns friends declare the Colonel
will not accept an appointment, this may
save Quay, although il Is quite we'll un-
derstood In Washington that he is al
ready defeated by a few votes
The Administration is fearful of Burns
appointment and the damaging effect IL
would have on the party II has been
led TO believe that no decent legislative
body will elect him, hence is anxious for
n special session of the California Legis-
lature in order that another man may be
chosen. and thus avert the necessity of
an appointment by Gage.
