IT CANNOT FAIL.
understood

a. The idea of the Senate's seating quay
r Is most CALLING. If 1t does, it will hasten
the day when United States senators are
elected by the direct vote OF the people.
III IT does not seat him, we may be sure
its members are taking note of the fact
that public sentiment is crystaliizing In
favor of a change in the Constitution.
This movement is like the bah Of snow
that. starting from some Alpine height,
gathers momentum as 1t advances. Here
and there it may be checked, or turned
: a little from its course, but it cannot be
stopped II grows as it goes on until 1t
has become an avalanche that uproots
trees and tears rocks from the mountain
sides and overwhelms whatever opposes
It,
whenever the people are asked if they
can be trusted 10 nominate and elect
senators, and are given a fair opportu-
nifty to answer, their voice will be over
whelmingly in the affirmative. And this
fact seems TO be recognized by public men
GensrSily, for few of them oppose the
proposition directly Most of them say
that "this is not a proper time" or they
assign selfish motives to leaders of the
movement.
If this is not the proper time, what time
would be proper? Would IL be when the
people OF Virginia were about TO vote
for President and Nice-President? or
would II be when they were about to vote
for Governor and Lieutenant Governor?
Or. would IT be when the people in the
cities and towns were voting for mayors
and councilmen? We maintain that this
is precisely the right tme--when a legs-
lature Is about to be elected, and not one
candidate has been nominated; legisla-
ture that will be called upon TO elect a
senator IN Congress,
We are sorry that selfish motives are
sscribed TO the leaders in this movement;
but 1t IS quite as easy to ascribe selfish
motives 90 those who oppose it. That is
sort of weapon that cuts both ways.
However, the Dispatch is content to point
20 the names of such men as John #.

MRS. HAMILTON's DEATH.
rhe Lady Was Nervo"siy '"s'r""s
Nv n Thunderstorm.
New York Herald-ith.)

(\eW YORK lttIdlu-fNuD
Mrs. Hamilton was particularly nervous
during thunder-storms, and when the
storm of Monday night broke she hid in
terror I'm a closet until it vas over Her
husband did his best TO quiet her and
comfort her. He believed he had been
successful, when they retired at halt-past
10 o'clock. They occupied separate sleep
ing apartments.
Mr.. Hamilton arose shortly before .
o'clock yesterday morning, and going 10
his wifes apartment, found her breathing
with great difficulty. She could not be
reused and Mr.. Hamilton quickly sum-
mOned DR.. Foster.
The symptoms of morphine poison were
at once apparent. She was then IN
cOmotOse condition. The first efforts 10
restore consciousness having failed. the
physician summoned DR.. Lewis, ana the
two continued their efforts until half-pas
/ o'clock in the afternoon, when Mrs'
Hamilton died.
The Coroner said he was satisfied that IL
was a case of accident, as the rela-
lions between husband and wife seemed
TO be of the most congenial nature. Some
morphine capsules and some soothing
mixtures were found in Mrs. Hamilton
apartments. DR.. Foster told me that the
woman might have taken ten grains,
which she must have got after her hus-
band had fallen asleep. The physician
was indignant at the ease with which
poison could be obtained without pre-
scription.
Mr.. Hamilton, / was informed, was
much Frustrated by the tragic death of his
wife. His father visited him during the
day.
Mrs Hamilton was % years old. When
she was married, in August, 1885, she was
considered the handsomest woman IN Hal-
timore. her native city. che was Miss
Jane Byrd Mercer, daughter Of Colonel
Richard Sprigg Mercer, and great
granddaughter of John Francis Mercer,
fourth Governor of Maryland. and one of
the trainers of the Constitution On her
mothers side she was the great-great-
granddaughter of Colonel Francis Coke,
the intimate friend of George Washington,
and could trace her connection with the
Washington family through her grand
aunt. Mrs. Lorenzo Lewis, whose nus
band was the son of Nellie Gusts.
Mrs. Hamilton was also the niece OF
Governor Swami. of Maryland, and was
lineal descendant of George Mason. who
framed the first bill of rights for Vir-
ginia, and of George Mercer, who brought
over the stamp act from England. She
was for a time a governess in Newport.

KAISER AND COGMLAN.

According to a Berlin special to the
New York Herald, Emperor William can
now say touching the Coshlan incident
"An's well that ends we'll 1t has
served him a good turn. a big increase
in the German navy has long been pet
scheme of the Emperor's, but the oppo-
sition the scheme has heretofore encoun-
tered in the Reichstag showed that the
people\wcre not of his way Of thinking.
When argument and pleading failed him.
he sought to give the country an object
lesson whicr would impress upon 1t the
necessity Of a larger naval establishment
He proclaimed new Hansa, dispatched
Prince Henry with few ships to the
far East, made a grab Of Chinese terri
tory. and soon succeeded in getting Ger
many pretty thoroughly mixed up in the
complications on that side of the globe.
Yet, with all this. his naval programme
was still in danger Of hanging fire. and 1t
was left for Captain Coghlan TO impart TO
it definite promise Of success.
The Coghlan incident, the Herald's spe-
cial saws. worried the Kaiser not little
al first. but in the whole affair he has
found consolation, because out OF II ne
has extracted a fact which appeals 10
the German nation lin a cause he has
had at heart for years-the increase OF
the German navy" The dispatch then
goes on to say that since the Coghlan
affair one of the most peace-loving pubic
men i'm Germany has become a lingo on
the question of a larger navy, that The
newspapers are full o. the subject of ma
val enlargement, and that there is abso-
mtely no doubt that in the immediate
future a measure for a large increase OF
the navy will be submitted by the gov
eminent and carried.
OF course, such an outcome Of the in
cident is calculated to strengthen the
German Emperor's friendly feeling to-
ward us and to assist greatly in allayinS
any friction between the two countries
that may have been excited by other
causes. From that view point the Incl
dent becomes a happy one. But there Is
another side. The fact that banquet
speech by an American citizen should
make any impression one way or another
i'm Europe is significant as demonstrating
the dangers of Imperialism not only to
the country, but to the rights of the
individual American Though under all
the circumstances Captain Coghlan's re-
marks were in very questionable taste.
before Mr. Mckinley started the United
States on the road to imperialism it
would have been recognized both here
and abroad that the Captain only eXer-
csed an inalienable privilege of American
citizenship, which none had authority to
question As it is, however. if impe-
rlalism is to be consummated, the gov
eminent will have to provide all OF its
officers with muzzies to be worn on Dam
uuet and other festive occasions. And
from muzzlng public officers TO muzzlins
private citizens and the press is but
short step.

A Chicago alderman has introduced a
"no-seat-no-fare" ordinance in the City
Council of the pork metropolis. Its aim
is to secure better transportation service
for the public, and TO accomplish this
many prohibitions are set forth. The
street-car companies are forbidden TO
allow passengers TO sit on step or foot
board, or to carry more than ten persons
standing. When the cars are filled the
conductor is required to hang out a sign
with a proper notice thereon, and no more
people are to be taken in. Heavy pen
alties 6re imposed for n violation of the
law. end the city and the informant
share equally the funds which may be
realized from such prosecutions.
The ordinance is, Of course, designed
as a kind of thumb-screw instrument 10
force the street-car companies to ac-
commodate the public, though there are
MANY who see in il a boomerang which IS
apt TO return and injure the public.
Unless the lines can be compelled to put
on enough cars to meet all possible con-
tingencies, there will be many times when
the pedestrian waiting for a car Will be
disappointed TO find it filled when he
attempts to hail it. The omnibus princi-
pie will no longer help him. And the
hot, busy fellow, who has Just five
minutes to catch a train will soon learn
TO anathematize the ordinance and TO
long for the old order OF things. But
meanwhile the ordinance has not been
adopted. nor are the strect-car companies
apt to let it go into operation without
making IA vigorous fight against 1t.

An imperialistic contemporary in dis
GUESSING the celebration OF pewey-paT,
says: ~lt
"Spain's power 10 continue the war with
the United States WAS broken az Santiago.
Actually she was overthrow by General
shafter and Rear-Admiral Sampson. Her
disaster at Manila was not vital. Yet,
instead Of having a. Shafter-day or a
Sampson-day we have Dewey-Day.
Why? Because Dewey's startlingly bril-
liant and perfect triumph reyolutionized
our relation to the Pacific Ocean. and
gave us fooihod on the shore OF
Asia. Shafter and Sampson de-
feated Spain. but Dewey's deed meant
/ fresh American neutrality-suspicious."
The inference here as 10 the significance
Of the celebration OF Dewey-Day is utterly
unwarranicd. and the effort TO twist the
