STRANGE AS it may seem, some OF
the anti. Martin men, with sense enough
70 read and talk, say the failure OF the

to elect q. S. Senators is conclusive
nroof of the compatibility of the mem
bers thereof. Unprejudiced, disinterest-
ed and wiser people, on the contrary,
view the matter in al entirely ditfer-
ent light, and say it proves the
exact reverse, and that if any
considerable number of the members OF
the legislatures referred to had been
corruptible, the strong temptations to
which they were subjected would have
been effective and would have secured
the election of the tempters, and that
The fact that the brides that were otfeF'

THE RICHMOND Dispatch says The
Constitution does not designate the
mode bv which u. s. Senators must be
elected. Why, certainly it does not,
and nobody but the Dispatch ever
deemed it necessary to say so. But the
Constitution does declare that 1.-THE
Senate of the United States shall be
composed of TWO Senators from each
State, chosen by the legislature there
Of" That certainly is plain enough for
ANYBODY to understand, and cannot,
that is by intelligent people, be so con-
strued as TO mean that Senators can be
chosen by the direct vote OF the people,
bv a State convention, or by a primary
in each and all the towns and counties
of the state, on the same or on differ
eEt DAYS. Nothing is palmer than the
fscE that until the Constitution shall be
a,nended. or, what would be more in &C
cordance with she ideas OF some people,
entirely abolished, which could only be
done in a constitutional way or by
revolution, Senators will continue to
he chosen as they always have been, by
the legislatures of the several States,
the members of which are elected by
the direct vote of the people, and if the

HOW 1T MISSED FOREIGN SER
VICE.

a recent issue of the Richmond Dis
patch contained the following state
ment, which will be of interest to the
members of the old Third regiment. 1t
was currently reported and believed
when the Third regiment was ordered
from Richmond to Camp Alger early in
June, 1898, that it would soon start for
the Philippines. A very short while
after reaching Camp Alger, telegram
was received from the War Depart
ment, asking how nearly the regiment
was equipped for field service. Reports
from the various company commanders
deyeoDed the fact that there were no
guns Except few old and worthless
ones used for guard duty),no knapsacks,
no canteens-in fact no equipment
whatever at that time for such service.
Two other regiments, that were thor
oughly equipped, were then sent to
the philippines, and thus the Third
Virginia missed service in that far-otl
land. But we give the story as related
by the Dispatch
Governor Tyler has made public for
the first time the grounds that existed
for the rumor in circulation early in
June last that the Third Virginia regi-
ment was to be sent to the Philippines
"On the 1st day of June a telegram
addressed to Gov. Tyler YVES received
at the Executive Mansion. The Gov
ernor had been called to southwest
Virginia the preceding day.
Mrs. Tyler opened the telegram.
1t was from the Secretary OF War. The
Governor was asked if it was desirable
to send one OF the Virginia regiments
to the Philippines. If so, the Score
tary of War desired him to designate
which of the regiments from this State
should be sent. The telegram was
stated to be confidential.
MRS. Tyler sent for Lieutenant,
Colonel 10 Lane Stern, who was then
acting djutant-general, General Male
being at Camp Lee in command of the
Third regiment. Col. Stein wired Sec
rotary Alger that Gov. Tyler would re-
ply to his telegram when he came home
on the following day. When the gov
ernor reached the city he was shown
the telegram. He was in a quandary.
He called Col Male, of the Third regi.
ment, and Col. Taylor, of the Fourth
regiment, into consultation. Col. Baker
had Just taken the Second regiment to
Jacksonville.
1.-THE governor stated to Col. Tay-
lor and Col. Male the substance OF
Secretary Ayers dispatch and asked
them if they cared to volunteer. Both
officers replied that they did not wish
to assume the responsibility of taking
their men to Manila, as they felt sure
they had not contemplated going so far
when they enlisted. They stated,
however, that they had volunteered for
any service, and were willing to go any
where they should be ordered.
Governor Tyler wired tho substance OF
this reply to Secretary Alger. The next day
the Fourth was ordered to Jacksonville, cvi.
dontly with a view of sending it to Cuba, and
the Third was ordered to Camp Alger. 1t
seemed certain the next order would BIO for it
to proceed to Manila.
Nothing was ever again heard. officially,
of anv intention of sending the regiment to
the Philippines. Had it been sent thither, it
would now be seeing the most active kind OF
service

q Terrible ENncricncc.

English. Ind, May 5.-Mrs. Emm d
Toole, 45 years of age, for three weeks
remained locked in her bedroom at
Marietta. The family supposed she
had gone away, as she often made
visits without giving them notice, and
it was not until her door was forced
open yesterday that the contrary was
known. The woman was found in
helpless condition, reduced to a skel
eton from lack of nourishment. She
reported that she went to bed three
weeks ago, locking her door and whea
she awoke found herself helpless to
arise or call for assistance. She says
she did not suffer because of want OF
iood Or water though she had tasted
nothing for % days.
