PUBLIC

Believe it or no there is a strong
public sentiment favorable to electing
United States senators by a direct vote
of the people. 1t is a growing senti-
ment and should be pressed. The dis
gushing, disgraceful revelations of the
recent past have tended to intensity
and confirm previous opinion. To
ow that the newspapers are awaking
more than ever before to this very i'm
portant matter, we quote a few Opin-
ions from editorials before us as we
write. The Washington Star says:
United States senator's should be
elected by a direct vote of the people.
That plaO would not eliminate money
from the equation"
1t is the power of money that cor
rupts and theatens the very liberties
of the people. The st. Louis Pioneer
Press says pointedly:
Legislative elections of United
States senators-at least, in some
states-are a prolific source of legisla-
tive corruption. They have done
more to create factional animosities
in the majority party than all other
causes combined. There is a safe and
easy remedy for all these evils-and
that is the election of United States
senator's by direct vote Of the people"
The San Francisco Call thinks the
greatest evil is not in Lying the
lower grade of rascals but the better
grade of legislators" Thus it says
Doodle initiates the greater, more far
reaching, and more enduring wrongs
upon the state"
The conservative, able and generally
wise Springfield Republican favors a
change of mode of election to a direct
vote of the people. Recently it said of
the prevailing epidemic of buying and
corrupting:
The senatorial deadlocks continue
in bright, luxuriant bloom. Fruitless
%ballotings, bargainings, seheming,
briberies, and all other characteristics
Of the average senatorial election by
the legislature are again reported from
the various states involved, and in
West Virginia matters are shaping
themselves favorably for more serious
trouble. The legislative plan of cleo
ton has become practically unworka-
BILE, and should give way to election
by the people before it infiicts more
serious damage upon fit and orderly
procedure"

delphia Record, leading democratic

R~ETRlRUTJyE JUSTICE

Governor Russell has very effectual-
lily put himself, big as he is in his pom
dorosity, into a hole rather deep and
dismal in his attack upon Major Will
son, of the railroad commission until
wickedly and maliciously driven out by
his almighty fiat and gubernatorial
ukase. 1t is understood at Raleigh
that his case against Major Wilson.
has fallen through completely. For
some reason best known to Rus
sell he has taken a great risk in his
vindictive pursuits of a capable official
and an innocent man. The people will
put him on trial and will vindicate
Major Wilson from every charge. The
Charlotte Observer, which has studied
the case with care, says this:
"He has not established one of the
charges which he preferred, with SO
much confidence, in his special mes
sage of the 18th of January. He has
paraded before the public a series of
grave accusations against a reputable
citizen, and when called upon to prove
them cannot do so. Didn't he know he
couldn't? If not, he should have
known it; or to put it otherwise, if he
did not know that he could make good
these serious allegations he should
never have brought them. He knows
that if he had done so as a private cit
izen he would have laid himself liable
to the penalties of the law Of libel,
and certainly the governor of a state,
whose words are supposed to carry
great weight, should be further than
an ordinary citizen from trifing with
character. If Mr.. Russell were a dis
trict solicitor he would never drawn a
bill of indictment against a man with
out knowing what his witnesses were
going to swear to, and yet in this
case, in a state paper, he recklessly
prefers charges which if true would
make their object Infamous, and when
put to the test cannot make a single
one of them good"
Clearly and forcefully stated. Is d
governor exempt from obeying the
Ten Commandments? Is the chief ex-
ecutlve Of a great state above the law
of righteousness? Can he prosecute,
malign, destroy at will? Cannot the
courts reach him? Is he above and
beyond all law, humane and divine,
legal and moral? The Observer adds:
"The whole prosecution has been
shown to be wanton and malicious.
The governor, with his usual impul-
siveness when he has in view the TAX
ing of vengeance upon an enemy has
in this case rushed headlong into a
transaction without seeing where he
was to come out"
There ought to be a legal or legis-
lative line somewhere long enough and
strong enough to reach him in his dis
NAL hole and fish him out. Do not
punish him in a spirit Of revenge but
in a spirit of justice.

General Eagan is now in the hands of
the president for final review. Today
Mr.. Worthington, attorney for General
Eagan, filed with the judge advocate
general the additional or supplement-
airy plea which he was granted permis-
sion to lodge. It was an elaboration
of the points made by ounse before
the c~ourt-martial. A most formidable
array of authorities have been pro-
duced. particularly in support of the
contention hat General Eagan's con-
duct, though the facts be admitted, was
not legally in the line Of the charge of
unbe0ming an offer and gem

judge advocate general in the hands
of the adjutant general and will be
added to the paper bearing on the case
now in the hands Of the president.

LEGISLATIVE.

The bill to abolish county boards Of
education will be generally approved
we would suppose. 1t is a necessity
under the circumstances that such ac-
ton should be taken. 1t would be a
big responsibility assumed on the part
of the triumphant democracy to retain
the present law governing and without
nearly all the present officials and for a
year and a half TO come. THAT is in
tolerable and not to be endured"
Whenever possible make a clean sweep.
Get rid of all the old party officials and
with it get rid of all responsibility at
taching to their services.
The legislature is bothered over an
arrangement for separating the races in
travelling on the railroads. 1t looks
very simple to many. There ought to
be no mixing on any road whatever,
what ever its earnings. A road that
is compelled to put both races in the
same car should retire from business.
The bill mentioned in yesterdays Mes
senger has a very capital defect in put
ting the races together when necessary

railroad commission to have the power
to decide. The demand Of the Demo-
cratic platform of 1898, was plainly
separate cars for the whites and
blacks. See that this is done. If not
you will neal from the offended peo-
pie. Mark it.
The bill looking to providing good
county roads for New Hanover has
passed the house. Let his end of the
state keep up with the other progress
i've counties. New Hanover cannot af-
ford to allow Mecklenburg to distance
it completely in macadam roads. Char
Iotte is there and Wilmington is here.
With more mills and multiplied indus
tries and better side walks and paved
streets and a thorough system of sew
age and artesian we'll water in abund-
'ance and thorough police duty, protec-
ting quiet citizens in their rights when
walking the streets, by day and by
night, and first rate county roads then
Wilmington will bound forward as
has never been seen here.
1t begins to look as if Judge Nor
wood might be impeached for his con
duct on the bench. He is said to be a
good lawyer, but dipsomania has been
too much for his usefulness and repu-
tation.
1t looks as but right and proper that
voluntary fremen in Wilmington
should be exempt from jury duty.
Past services should not be ignored.

Long before the hour for the mar
riage the church was crowded to over
flowing with the relatives and friends
and acquaintance of the couple. While
in waiting Miss Eliza Holmes presided
at the organ and artistically rendered
the wedding march.
The church had been most elabor-
ately and tasteful decorated for the
occasion. The ceremony VS. beauti-
fully and impresively performed by
Rev. ]. T. Bagwell.
Immediately after the marriage the
bridal party, accompanied the bride
and groom to the residence Of the
groom, which is at Maplehurst where
a grand reception was awaiting them.
After they richly Toasted they then
returned to board the 9:16 train for a

ADVERSE REPORT.
DisapprOval of Bill to Amend Capital
Traction Charter.

Traction Charter.
The following adverse report was today
submitted by the District Commissioners
to Senator Mcmillan, chairman of the SEN
ate District committee on Senate bill 1850
to amend the charter of the Capital Trac-
ton Company, the object of the bill being
to repeal the statute authorizing the COM
pany to contract with, lease or purchase
connecting or intersecting lines, and to OPP
crate them in connection with it's original
line:
THE right to consolidate with other rail-
way lines is believed to be one which can
be used at times with great advantage to
the public well as to the companies
themselves.
"An amendment to the acquiring power
to the effect that the amount of stock or
bonds issued at the time of the consolida-
ton should be regulated by some competent
authority might be advisable, but it is be-
lieved that the power to consolidate should
not be abridged and might be advantage
ously extended to the other lines of the
District.
Attention is invited to the fact that I'M
der the law in question the Washington
and Georgetown Railroad Company and the
Rock Creek Railway Company were con-
solidated into the Capital Traction Com
pany, resulting in a greatly improved serv-
ice over the Rock Creek road, and only
one fare has since been charged over the
entire length of the two lines within the
District instead of two fares as theret ofore.
THE Commissioners recommend that an
adverse report be made on the BILL

RAILWAY EXTENSION.
commissioners Report on Bill of
metropolitan Company


To Representative Babcock chairman of
the House District committee the following
report was made today by the District
commissioners on House bill IL ,o6O, for the
extension of the Metropolitan railroad on
Brightwood avenue:
- his bill. if enacted into law would au-
thorlze the Metropolitan Railroad COMPANY
to extend its underground electric system
On 9TH street road, Brightwood avenue.
TO Rock Creek Church road, territory nov,
occupied by the Brightwood Railway Com
pany AS the metropolitan company if per-
united to ocC upy this route. would run ears
at shorter intervals than the Brightvood
company. and would take it's patrons into
the heart of the city without transfer and
iof one 1are, the extension would amount
practically to a confiscation of the Bright
wood company's line within the limits
stated, although such an extension would
unquestiorably give greatly improved
and cheaper rapid transit service. The ad-
Visibility of the measure, however is left
to the wisdom of Congress.
The proviso in the second paragraph of
the bill that the tracks of the Metropolitan
company shall be independent of those of
the Brightwood company is believed to be
highly objectionable. If the tracks are To-
Gated as named in the bill the roadway
available for driving purposes would be
narrowed by foot, as to prevent the inter-
ference of cars with each other il would be
necessary to lay the rails outside of those
OF the Brightwood company, and not inside
one Oh tne oD]ectlonS made by the Met
ropolitan company to a common set of
tracks is that the fianges of the wheels of
the Brightwood cars are too large to prop
erly enter the grooves of the rails on he
Metropolitan tracks This trouble, how
ever, could be obviated very easily by using
at this locality a rail with a wider groove
than the one ordinarily used throughout the
city. The Commissioners would most
strongly recommend that If this extension
Is authorized one set of tracks be used in
common by the two companies such use to
be upon terms mutually agreed upon. or
in case of disagreement, on terms deter
mined by the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia"
