Tho the resolution for popular elec-
ton OF senators passed the house by a
vote OF 240 To Is, four members of the
Iowa delegation. Hedge, Lane, McPher-
son and Thomas. recorded their votes In
the negative. Their Willingness to be
counted on this side without as much as
explaining their votes evidences their
knowledge that popular conviction on
this subject is not deep-seated.
The question is academic and not
practical for the reason that few appre-
.hend the smaller states or the union Will
deliberately surrender the advantage In
representation they derive from the
present system. There is feeling in the
west and south that popular election OF
senators would lead to representation
based on population md ultimasely to
the extinction OF state lines, that 1t
would be a step towards Capitalization.
Consequently the representatives OF
these states, while willing to support a
resolution that merely voices a popular
sentiment. could be counted on to op-
pose 1t with all their might and main

chosen the best man for senator. but the
people have not always chosen the best
man for governor. And, whether the
legislature or the convention is to make

the people have little choice and regard
the contest as strife among the politi-
clans. Whenever the people are in

Mourning for Maureil.

Paris, April ia solemn service
was held in the Cathedral of Notre
Dame this morning for Gen. Nillebois-
Mareuil. who was killed while fighting
for the Beers. "A considerable crown
gathered in the broad square in front
of the old cathedral to see the scores
OF high army officers and the various
prominent men and women of Paris
Who locked to the memorial service.
The minister of war issued permis-
sion to all officers, both of the active.
and reserve service, to assist at the
ceremony in full uniform. Among oth-.
ers who We're present at the ceremony
We're Gen. MERCER and Gen. Zurlinden,
both OF whom seemed to have forgotten
The Dryfus case. Count Yillebois-
Mareuil, the dead mans brother; Henri
Rochefort. editor of LIntransigeant
land man of all shades of Partisan poll
teal life, We're present.
| L'Echo de Paris, an anti-English and
anti-DGe.fus newspaper, was respon-
sible for getting UP the service, Yet the
service itself was short and digniffed.
No political allusion of any kind was
lsmade. Solemn music was played thru-
tout the whole ceremony. So many con-
Trajectory statements have been made
as to the habits and beliefs Of Gen.
4 Nillebois- Mareuil that it is difficult to
make out exactly just what kind of a
man he was.
The English author, Rodley, who.
long time in France. knew the
late general Intimately. He declared
\ that Nillebois-Mareuil at one time seri-.
lousy thought of becoming British
subject. The Figaro recently published
a letter that showed him to be Drey-
| fusard. L'Echo de Paris, an equally
good authority, prints g story showing
that he was a friend of the general
| staff of the French army.
\ The truth seems to be that he was a
disappointed adNenturer. The anti
Republicans are greatly disappointed at
mis- death. as they thought they had at
last found a military hero out of whom
4 they could make political capital.

BEAUTIFYlNG OUR CITY

II that man is a public benefactol
who causes two blades of grass to grow
where but one grew before. how CRATE
ful we should be to those who plant
and care for trees. The question OF
tree planting is now interesting the city
authorities in both Philadelphia and
New York. Broad street and Fifth
avenue are almost treeless. and II is
proposed by systematic efforts Of both
the individual property owner and the
park departments to beautify these
great thoroughfares. The average
house owner does not care to bother
about the preparation Of the soil the
selection OF the kind OF tree and the
properly caring for II after planted.
An illustration Of how streets can be
beautiled with grass and tree is shown
on Gilpin avenue, and should encour-
age property owners on other streets
TO join with our authorities to beautify
Wilmington in this way. Delaware
avenue could be improved much by
planting trees here and there where
they have been destroyed and, in order
20 aid those persons who are willing to
not only add to their own comfort, but
also to become public benefactors In
all parts Of our city the Evening
Journal has obtained from Theodore A.
Leisen, our efficient park engineer, a
statement as to how and when to plant
shade trees, and, what is just as inn
portant, how to care for them. This
advice will be found in another col
umn.

GRosyENoR AS A PROPHET

General Grosvenor, Of Ohio, has
projected himself so far into the politi-
cal future as to predict the round up
In the electoral college after the voting
for president next November. He
claims 2G0 electors for Mckinley, con-
cedes ia to Bryan. and makes the 1S
votes from Kansas and Delaware
doubtful. In this calculation New York
and New Jersey are put in the Nc
kinley column. and kentucky, Mary
land, Nebraska and North Carolina are
awarded to Bryan. There is no politi-
cal question likely to arise in the near
future which Grosvenor would not un-
dertake to settle. He is indefatigable.
He is also garrulous, and in love with
the sound of his own voice; but when
he indulges in prophecy he becomes
very tiresome.-Philadelphia Record.
We suggest that he add Delaware's
three electoral votes to the Mckinley
column, for Bryan cannot carry this
state.

ANOTHER OBJECT LESSON

Here is another object lesson Of the
baneful influence of Addicks on Repub-
hcan politics in Delaware. But for his
interference George w. Bush would
have been elected mayor OF Whining
ton last year, and the Board of Health
instead Of passing into Democratic con-
troll, would have remained Republican
in its political complexion. J. Edward
Addicks, by the use Of William b,
Clerk as a candidate, elected Dr. John
c. Fahey, a Democrat, mayor. DR..
John c. Fahey appoints Democratic
members OF the Board Of Health. who
appoint a Democratic clerk and Demo-
cratic executive officers.
There we have it. The Addicks peo-
pie cannot escape responsibility to the
Republican voters.

IHE BUSINESS MANS ENEMY

In an able and interesting paper on
the political contest of 1900 Henry
Loomis Nelson writes as follows OF
William J. Bryan in the current edl-
tion Of Golfers Weekly:
Mr.. Bryan is an enemy of the East
at least he has called himself so in
speaking OF .ne East as the enemy's
country" IL is q misfortune to the
country that this should be the atti-
tude of a candidate for the presidency
who has polled 6500.000 votes. IL is
still more unfortunate that about g.
600 900 of these votes came from west
Of the Allegheny Mountains, and that
those who cast them share Mr.. Bryan's s
enmity. Even more unfortunate is the
fact that west OF the Alleghanies and
south OF the Potomac Bryan had a
plurality OF more than 100000 votes
over Mckinley; so that the enemies OF
the East were in n majority in the
West and South. and. while these cleo
tion statistics may have little signih.
cance so far as the coming contest is
concerned. they are worthy OF serious
consideration because of their bearing
On the future Of the country and Il.
politics
In the coming campaign Bryan mus
be dealt with seriously. His person
ality will not be so much in question al
IL was four years ago, and. while il vii
perhaps count for a good deal at first,
is not likely TO count for a
much as the campaign pro
crosses. He will always b.
the orator Of class jealousy against tn
East, and the enemy Of class legisla
tion which increases wealth-whethe
OF manufacturers or Of the seekers O
bounties. In his war against thi
kind of class legislation n
has come to favor class legisla
tion, for those who have hitherto born
the burdens. He will probably neve
change, because he is mature at forty
and his sympathies and thought vii
remain those OF the people anon
whom he was born and reared.
MIR. Bryan is more than an enemy q
the East. The business men Of the en-
tire country know that he is inimics
10 their interests. They take him IS
riously. because they know that he
engaged in arraying class against class
and endeavoring to undermine th
foundation Of business prosperity
