ELECTION OF SENATORS.

Malta Enterprise: The power Of elect
ing United states senators should be by
the direct vote of the electors of each
state. A strong and fast growing selti-
ment in favor of this method of election
is being advocated throughout the en-
tire country and the legislatures Of many
states have passed resolutions Endorsing
the system. Under this plan the will OF
the people could be better expressed,
better than is now, for oftentimes the
desires of their constituencies are TOO
often disregarded by many legislators.
Should the election be by popular vote,
the elected one would be the choice Of
the entire people, and not that of a few
legislators, and should he prove a dis
appointment, no one would be to blame.

CURIOSIIIES OF THE ELECTOR-
ATE.

ATE.
The curious results that may be OBJ
tanned. on paper. from the popular vote
for president have occurred to every
pnt,t although Nrry few, have ever tigureI'
those results to an extreme conclusion.
All are aware that a candidate receiv-
ing a minority of the popular vote might
still be elected president, as, indeed. has
been the case. This has led some persons
to denounce our electoral system, but
the weakness of their arguments is
shown when it is found that n candidate
might carry forty-four states. all except
Utah. by a plurality of 100 in each state.
and then fail to receive a plurality OF
the popular vote. His plurality. on such
a basis. would be 4.i00 votes. while the
candidate who carried Utah alone, if he
received 5000 plurality, as was given
President Mckinley in the recent cleo
ton, would have a plurality in the
Union of GOO votes.
There are other curious results to be
obtained from that sort of figuring. For
instance, in a presidential election it is
evident tina if Mr.. A carries the follow
ing thirty-three states: Alabama Cd,
Arkansas (S>. Colorado CI, Connecticut
GO. Delaware 81. Florida (4. Idaho CD,
Iowa uS), Kentucky G3). Louisiana (S.
Maine 80. Maryland 50, Minnesota (S,
Mississippi co., Montana (3). Nebraska
(S), Nevada 90. New Hampshire l),
New Jersey GW. North Carolina Q1),
North Dakota 50, Oregon "a, Rhode
Island tD, Tennessee I2). Utah t3). Ner-
mont %. Virginia ual, Washington 4),
West Virginia (6). Wisconsin u2). and
Wyoming (3). he will receive PA electoral
votes, and Will consequently be elected.
Suppose that Mr.. AS plurality is 100
in each state carried by him; hen his
aggregate plurality in the thirty-three
states is $500. Suppose that Mr.. b car
RES the remaining twelve states by the
Following pluratities, respectively: Calf
fornia, go, 900: Georgia, $50, 900: Illinois,
1,90O,e eco: Indiana, coo. 900; Kansas. $780,
ooG Massachusetts, $4,000; Michigan.
800. 900; Missouri, $50, 600; New York, L.
l,l50, OO0, and Texas, 500, 900.
1t will be observed that the above plu-
ralities in all cases are less than the
total vote cast by the respective states
in 1895. so that such pluralities might be
obtained if the voters SO desired.
Then Mr.. BIS plurality in the twelve
states carried by him is 1850. 900. Then
Mr.. BIS plurality in the nation is 1885,
900 minus $500, equals LAG, 700.
Suppose that the total vote cast for
president is approximately the same as
that actually cast in 1896, namely, 49,
900, 900, and that only two candidates
are voted for that office. hen, sub
tracing Mr.. BIS plurality from the total
vote and dividing the remainder by two.
it is found that Mr.. AS vote is 1926, $50,
and that Mr.. BIS vote is 3,226, $50 plus
7,446, 700 Obs plurality equals 1O,613,35O
which is more h three-fourths of the
total vote cast for president. Then Mr..
A is elected president Of the United
States, although he receives less than
one-fourth of the popular vote.

the congregation. Upon the table at the
rear stood vases of out flowers of many

while just in front of the table lowered
a great cross of red and white roses, one
of the handsomest designs to be seen any,

lecturn, by a white satin ribbon was
large heart of violets of deepest blue while
overhead was the Powered inscription
'Hallelujah, He Is Risen," running upon
a trelis the work OF which was artstical-
ly covered with cedar. At the base of this
trellis, on either side of the arch, stood
groups of potted plants, palms and grace
full Easter lilies, beautiful in the purity
of their whiteness. A row of lilies ran be-
hind the chancel rail, which was wreathed
with vines and white satin ribbon On
either side of the chancel, upon the floor
of the auditorium, stood a monster palm

LIFTED TWO CHURCH DEBTS.
Rev. DR.. DuBOse's Sermons at Grace
and Seventh street Churches.

The visit Of Rev. II. NJ. DuBose, d. D.,

and editor of the I1pworth Era, the Off
cial organ of the league, to Savannah, is
one of unusual interest. The beautiful

Churches yesterday. His style is so
unique and his gift of oratory and elo-
quence so great that mere outline of
his discourses would be most unsatisfac-
tory and wholly inadequate to express
the value of his sermons.
In the morning at the Seventh Street
Church DIR. DuBose preached an Easter
message and al night at Grace, he gave
an exposition of the Lords Prayer, in
which he emphasized the great doctrines
of the fatherhood of God and the brother
hood of man. He appealed with earnest
exhortation that the name of God be rev.
erenced, after a most beautiful descrp-
ton of heaven as home.
The kingdom OF God, he said, must first
come into the hearts of men and bring
liberty to the world by entering that door

His children on earth God is the source
OF all temporal and spiritual blessing, and

conclusion, his argument on the need OF

CAROLS AND EASTER SONGS.
sunday school Festival of st. PauPs
Episcopal Church.


The Sunday School of ST. Pauls Episco-
pal Church held its Easter festival at 4:3O
O'Clock in the afternoon. There was a large
attendance of the families and friends of
the youthful pupils and a well-rendered
programme of songs. readings and re-
sponses.
The professional was the carol, "Wel-
come, Happy Morning" to the musical
strains of which the officers, teachers and
pupils of the school entered the church
building. This was followed by the read
Ing by the superintendent, with responses
by the school, of a shortened form of the
morning prayer, The carol, Christ Is
Risen! Lift the Song"' was next sung.
Then came The creed and responses by the
school,

in the quartettes and IN the solos, proved
most acceptable acquisition. Miss May
NJ. Nicolson sang the offertory. "Resur-
recuon,' Shelley, at the morning service,
and Mr.. McCarden that of the evening,
Angel Land" by Pnsuti. AT the even
ing service DIR. Jordan thanked the choir
for its excellent music. Mr.. 5. T.. Snow,
the director and organist he thanked es-
pecially.
The subject of Dr. Jordan's sermon was
taken from Corinthians 1920: But now is
Christ risen from the dead and become
the first fruits of them that slept" DR..
Jordan quoted st. Paurs arguments of
the resurrection The resurrection, he
continued, was necessary to prove the di-
vinity of Christ, for if Christ did not
rise from the dead then his claim of
divinity was false and our preaching and
faith has been in vain. If in this life we
have no hope of Christ then we are of all
men the most miserable.
Too many of us, he said, continue to
worship the dead Christ. 1t is the living
Christ that should be worshipped, and
emulated Baptism, he said, is a symbol
of the resurrection, and is and should be
understood as such by all persons who
join the Baptist Church.
In concluding, DR. Jordan told his con-
gregation that death is not the terrible end
that it is usually thought to be. that death,
after all, is not a condition, but transit
ton, stepping stone from corruption to
Immortality
DR.. Jordan announced that next Sunday
night he would begin protracted meeting
that would last ten days or two weeks. DR..
w. w. Landrum of Atlanta will be here
to conduct the meetings, being assisted by
the pastor of the church. He urged upon
his congregation the necessity of a large
attendance at these meetings.
Rev. Mr.. Hunter also preached an Eas-
ter sermon, taking for his text St. Luke
2:11 For unto you is born this day in the
city of David a Saviour, which is Christ
the Lord"

LUTHERAN CHIDREN's FESTIVAL
Interesting Exercises at the Church
of the Ascension.

OF the ASCENSION.
The seventy-second anniversary and
Easter festival of the Sunday School of
the Lutheran Church of the Ascension
was celebrated last night in the audito-
rum. Three or four hundred children,
with their cheers and older members of
the school, participated and made the ex-
ercises very beautiful.
Supt. w. B. Spann formed the school in
the lecture room below, and shortly after
8 O'Clock, all were in readiness for the
professional, THE Song of Victory" to
the strains of which, sung by many sweet
and happy voices, the march 20 the audi
torium was taken. Banners were carried
by the classes, each prettily made and
adding to the joy with which the eye wan
dered over the great troop of children as
they made their way, in well ordered ar
ray, to the pews that had been designated
and reserved for them. Especially well
as a matter of course, did the girls look,
for they were robed in their Easter dresses
and wore their Easter hats.
The programme of exercises was made
up of hymns, rectatives, prayers, the rec
itation of the Creed, Scripture readings
and other features. A curtain had been
run across the chancel alcove since the
morning service, and decorations had been
added, a hor2l star and another design
grazing the Sides of the trellis upon which
the curtain was fastened, and additional
designs decking the top.
This curtain WAS drawn for the STORY
