Virginian-pilot. (Norfolk, Va.) 1898-1911, 1900-04-17

Joint resolution In favor of a Consti
tutional amendment providing for the
election of United States Senators by
the people was laid before the Senate.
AS 1t was about to be referred to the
Committee on Privileges and Elections.
MI. Butler (North Carolina) asked that
1t be read and then addressed the SEN
ate briefly. He declared it was the
function OF q committee of the Senate
to consider, not to smother, legisla-
ton. He thought this question had
been so thoroughly considered that II
was not necessary to send 1t to a COM
mittee, and he therefore moved that It
be placed on the calendar.
Mr.. Chandler. chairman of the Com
mittee on Privileges Elections, objected
to Mr.. Buffers making imputations up
on the committee
MIR. HOAR OBJECTS.
Mr.. Hoar called attention 70 the
gravity of the proposition submitted
that the matter should not be consider.
ed by committee of the Senate He
did not approve of the proposed
amendment. holding that its adoption
would give the United States two leg
islative bodies, both chosen by the peo.
pie IN popular elections. the only diff
ference being that the Senator's would
have larger constituency than the
representatives.
Mr.. Pettus CAlabama) expressed his
regret that reflections had been made
Upon the Committee on Privileges and
Elections.
The motion to place the resolution on
the calendar was withdrawn, and 1t
was referred to the Committee or Priv
ileges and Elections.
Mr.. Hale presented an additional
urgency deficiency bill. and it was
passed without debate.

(By Telegraph to VirginIan- Pllot.)
Washington. D. c.. April 16.-The
Supreme Court to-day decided the cases
involving the stamp tax as 1t applies to
express packages, the question involved
being whether the shipper or the carrier
shall pay the stamp charge of pack
ages. The opinion was handed down by
Justice White and was favorable to the
express companies. There were two
cases before the court involving the
question at issue, but the opinion was
based uoon the case OF the American
Express Company VS.. Attorney General
Maynard. of the State of Michigan.
The case came to the Supreme Court
from the decision of the State Supreme
Court of Michigan, which decision was
adverse to the claims OF the express
companies. The opinion to-day re-

MIR. ALTGELD's SPEECH.

The attendance was large. a hearty
greeting was extended to Governor Alt
geld. who said. in closing his lengthy
address:
A spirit of independence is growing
and neither Of the great parties can be
delivered as they once could.
You remember that in 1S33-'94 and
'95 independent parties, known by diff
ferent names, well-nigh controlled
North Carolina. Georgia, Alabama and
some other Southern States They
polled 150 900 votes in Texas, $4,000 in
Illinois and absolutely dominated Kan

kotas and number of other States.
In sense these people constituted

TRUE TO MANHOOD.

In that great campaign men were told
to be true to their manhood and act on
their convictions and they acquired the
strength that comes from breathing
pure air and standing in the sun. For
three years this has gone on and that
politician makes n fatal mistake who
imagines the Democratic party can
again be delivered on any kind of a
platform.
The people are as much in earnest to-
day as they were in the civil war North
and South, and they will stand no
trifing.
While they will honor hero. they are
not men worshipers
