ELECTION OF SENATOR IN VIR-
GINA.

For four years there has been
growing in Virginia a strong feeling
that a better method ought 10 be de-
vsed for electing United States Sena-
ators When Senator Martin was
chosen over Fitzhugh Lee there were
not wanting leading men who declared
that he was the candidate of the rail-
roads which had thwarted the will of the
people That belief has ranked in the
minds of the people, and now that Sen
ator Martins term has expired there Is
an organized effort to secure the selec-
ton of his successor by a primary cleo
ton in order to prevent repetition of
corporation dictation. To that end a
May conference of Democrats has been
called in Richmond which will SQUAD
the key note of a campaign i'll which
the people will elect the Senator.
The Richmond Dispatch advocates
choosing the Senator by the popular
vote. and is bottoming its fight upon
.Jefferson's declarations. 1t quotes these
three extracts from his writings WHICH
are the rock bottom principles of true
Democracy:
Il know of no safe depository of the
ultimate powers of society but the people
themselves"
My most earnest wish is to see the
republican Democratic) element of
popular control pushed to the maximum
of its practicable exercise. | shall then
believe that our government may be pure
and perpetual"
1T should be remembered, as an AK
ION of eternal truth in politics, that
whatever power in any government is
independent, is absolute also; in the
DRY only at first, while the spirit of the
people is up, but in practice as fast as
that relaxes. Independence can be
trusted nowhere but with the people in
mass. They are inherently independent
of all but moral law
The nearer Democracy stands for
these ideals, the sooner it will come
back in control of the government

THEY ARE AFTER WATTERSON
NOW

Henry Watterson is being roundly
abused by his old time gold associates
because in the Democratic platform
suggested by him. he puts in first place
the recovery to the people of all public
franchises and such reorganization of
the judicial systems as will remove them
farther from the influences of the rich
and make them more accessible to the
poor"
They call him a socialist for this
so called attack on vested rights and
the sacred courts and the more sacred
trusts. If they keep it up the gallant
Kentuckian will come back and stand
in the ranks, fighting as he did prior to
1876 on the party's platform as enun-
ciated by the party convention.

ONE HELPED, TEN THOUSAND
ROBBED.

Criticizing Mr.. Bryan's attack on
trusts, the New York Times thinks it
disposes of the question by saying:
"A man who is getting good wages
from trust is not going to get easily
alarmed about combinations of capital .
That may be true, but what about the
men thrown out of work by trusts, men
whose products are reduced, and men
who are forced by the trusts to pay
more for the necessaries of life? Where
one man is~helped by trust in wages.

BUTTER MADE OF PEANUTS.

Allusion was made yesterday to the
fact that butter, wholesome and good,
is being made of peanuts. As North
Carolina is the home of the peanut. this
information will have special interest to
the people of Eastern North Carolina
where the peanut is grown in large guam
titles Why sell them in the shell at low
prices when they can be made to bring
much more when made into delicious
butter!
The first factory that utilizes peanuts
to make butter is located at Kokoma,
Indiana. and the process is thus de-
scribed by local paper:
The nuts, after the hulls are removed,
are carefully handpicked and the faulty
Kernels removed. They are then roasted
in large rotary oven, and are again
gone over by hand to remove the
scorched grains. The roasted kernels
are then put through a mill and ground
as fine as the finest flour the natural
oil in the grains giving it the consis-
tency of putty as it leaves the mill. The
color of the mass. however, is that of
the richest cream. BY the addition of
ill r~od water, to reduce it to a more
p state. the butter is complete, no
ol 4 ingredient, not even salt, being
used 1t is claimed this butter never
grows Eancid and will keep in any eli
mate. For market il is put up i'll /, :,
,. To- % and 100 pound cans and seal
ed. The assertion is made that peanut
butter is already in great demand at
santariums and health resorts. 1t is
10 be used as a substitute for dairy but
ter not only on the dining table, but for
shortening. frying, and ali other pur-
poses for which ordinary butter is used
1t is also claimed that by the addition
of more water IA delicious cream is made
and, if desired. il can in the same way
be reduced Ito the consistency of milk
Besides being less expensive than dairy
butter, it is thought TO be more health
full.

A BABY ON THE DOORSTEP.
How Mrs. ingram Had Her Fun
Yesterday Morning.

Albert Grubbs, who lives at l4li
Fourth street, was the victim of a prac-
teal joke yesterday morning that ex-
ercised him considerably.
A Mrs. Ingram, who lives in the
neighborhood, borrowed a white baby
for a few hours. and when Grubbs
opened the door he found the waif ly-
ing on the doorstep, rolled up in a
cloak. He was dumfounded, as he had
grandchildren enough and did not care
to assume any more responsibility
While he was cogitating, however, on
the disposal to be made Of the young
ster, Mrs. Ingram called out that II
he did not want the baby she would
take it if the coat fitted her, and he
thankfully accepted that solution OF
the question.
1t is stated that she afterward placed
it on the doorstep of the pastor OF the
African Church at Sixth and P streets,
but as it was not cordially welcomed,
she again took charge of it and re-
turned it to it's mother, the wife of a
tainale peddler, from whom, as she ex-
planned to Acting Chief of Police Nc
Manus and Officer Michael Fisher, she
had borrowed it to have little fun.

Boosted OF HER quill"
Flossie Piggott Arrested and
Charged With Vagrancy.

Last night about IL o'clock Police
officer Max P. Fisher saw a woman on
lower L street parading the streets in
a half nude condition and promptly
placed her under arrest. The woman
turned out to be Flossie Piggott, a well
known San Francisco female pick
pocket. Since her advent in Sacramento
she has inhabited a house on L street,
between Third and Fourth. Several
days ago Officer Max Fisher, who has
done much of late toward making the
tenderloin district inhabitants respect
the rights of the respectable residents
who have to pass along Second, Third
of Fourth streets. had occasion to rep
rimand the Piggott woman for parad-
ing around lower L street in broad day
light arrayed in flimsy garments. To
several people Flossie Piggott boosted
of her pull and declared that no pc.
lice officer in Sacramento dared to die
tate to her or to arrest her, and even
last night after again being warned by
Sergeant Dolan and Officer Max Fisher
not to repeat her customary exhibitions
on the sidewalks, she boosted of q
pull in certain quarters. 1t took tho
combined efforts of Officer Logue and
Fisher to place her II the patrol
wagon. The Piggott woman was for
merly the companion of Johnnie Pig
gott, one of the cleverest pickpockets
of California, who was recently sem
fenced to seven years in San Quentin
for stealing a purse from a mans
pocket on a crowded street car in San
Francisco A charge of vagrancy has
been placed against her.

ment: The City Health Officer declined
TO grant a burial permit on the GER
tiiicate of death signed by the attend
ing physician, DR.. Ct. A. White. with
out an inquiry into the causes first
being made.
The certificate signed by DR. White
was accordingly turned over to Cor
oner McMullen and the latter, after
consulting with District Attorney
Baker, decided that an inquiry into the
cause of death would be necessary 1t
was agreed. between the two officials
that owing to the fact that most of
the evidence would be of an expert
medical nature, it would be unneces-
sary for the jury to view the remains.
and burial permit was issued.
The portion of the certificate of
death issued by DR.. White which
Health Officer Nichols considered when
refusing to issue a burial permit was
as follows:
1 certify that the cause of her CTrs.
Wilson's) death was septic peritonitis,
following attempted repair of lacera,
tion of the fGrdus of the uterus"
Under the mead of Remarks" DR..

nesday night. July 26th, disclosed a.
laceration of the uterine fundus to the
extent of nearly two inches"

following named citizens were sworn in
TO act as jurors: William J. Elder,

Howard, George W. jackson and Frank
L. Gray.
w. j. Hall, who had been selected as
a juror, was excused upon suggestion
of District Attorney Baker. Mr.. Hall
is member of the Grand Jury. and

sible that the matter might be carried
before that body, did not propose TO
take any chances.

ness, District Attorney Baker City
