Special to The Sun.
Washington, Jan. This city intends
20 have royal time WHEN Mckinley is
'e-inaugurared two months hence. Ac-
'ordmg to custom, Senator Hanna, as
hartman of the Republican National
Committee will have supreme charge and
he has already selected as head of the
Executive Committee Mr.. John j. Edison

but when it came to framing govern
ment they were not enthusiastic for the
application OF the principle to practical
governmental administration. They were
not willing that the people should vote di-
reetly for and elect president, and the
creation of u senate was also the result
of a distrust of legislation by representa-
tives elected by and directly responsible
to the people.
The present popularity of the House
and corresponding unpopularity OF the
Senate, il we may put it that way, may
be accounted for by the great increase
of the House membership over that Of
the Senate, and the growing confidence Of
the people in themselves-their greater
intelligence and better comprehension Of
the basic idea of American governmental
method, that of majority rule. The peo-
pie voting directly for Congressman ex-
press the popular WILL and being directly
responsible to the people Congressman
We're supposed to hold and represent
popular errors about governmental mat
tiers; hence the check of the Senate upon
popular and impractical schemes i'll law
making and administration. But with
the growth of the nation the people have
not only become more capable of self
government but have come to Il reali-
zation of their ability in that line. And
another thing about it is a better com
prehension Of and regard for the basic
idea of popular government as applied i'll
our government, majority rule. In this
matter the House has grown rapidly and
the Senate only slowly. The two repre-
sent the legislative authority of the peo-
pie, the House being an overwhelming
| majority of that legislative authority.
1t follows, that as the dangers antici-
pated by the constitution makers have
1een outgrown and the capacity for self
government proved, the checks upon di-
cect popular legislation become onerous
md unpopular, and the nearer therefore
| the Senate keeps to its original purpose

DIRECT VOTE FOR SENATORS

The Delawarean quoting Governor
Imgrcc, of Michigan. advocates the cleo
lion of United States Senators by the
people voting directly at the polls. 1t
says:
For some time thoughtful men of all
parties have been expressing alarm that
The United States Senate had drifted
SWAY from the position it was intended
- occupy under the constitution, and
that there is Il growing distrust among
the people Of the upper branch of Con
gress.

however. not because the Senate ha,
'drittcd away" from its intended consti.
tutlonal position, but rather because il
has maintained it. The fact is the Sen.
ate was created as check valve to the
House. There is nothing clearer in his.
tory than the fact of distrust of the
people on the part of the trainers of the
constitution. 1t is true that they adopted
the idea of popular sovereignty and de-

Democrats Want the Plums,

From the Philadelphia inquirer
Democrats in Wilmington have already
lc-un their canvass for the city election
tnd numerous candidates for positions
tre low being announced. There is no
nope of the Democratic party being able
o carry the city election unless the Re-
lnblicans should aguln split over the

or granted that the Republicans will

o be warm contest for the position in
tie wards which are Democratic or which
nave chance to be Democratic.

lounced himself as candidate for mem

1t is also expected that some Of the

two or three hours promenading i'll COM
pact procession, and then when the doors
s1re opened make a grand rush for sand
wiches and salads. Then they usually
spend another hour waiting for their
wraps and a carriage to take them home.
Nobody ever tries to dance, and it is i'm
possible to promenade unless you follow
the crowd.
The last four inaugural balls have
been held in the Pension Office, which is
admirably adapted for such a purpose
because it has an enormous rectangular
court, covered with glass roof and sur
rounded by wide balconies, upon which
] the offices open. 1t is easy to clear the
furniture from the first and second
floors, which furnish plenty of space for
dressing and supper rooms, and from the
balconies the crowd upon the floor may be
seen to great advantage. 1t is customary
for the outgoing and incoming Presidents
to attend for few moments, and to
move about with a committee of recep-
tion surrounding them to clear the way.
Then they go home again, and those in
the crowd remain to jostle and stare at
each other.
Last March it was proposed to give
the ball or reception in the new Con
gressional or Library building, which is
by far the most beautiful public ediicc
in this country and is equal to any mod
ern building in the world. With its
beautiful marble halls, statuary, mosaic
and frescoes, when brilliantly lighted and
filed with beautifully dressed women,
the library would have afford scene un-
surpassed in America, and equal to the
| famous assemblies ut the winterpalacc of
st, Petersburg and other imperial courts.
The idea was abandoned, however, on ac-
count of the certainty that great damage
would be done by the crowds.

Murnhy a Co.'S Stock Letter.

New York, September A.-The stock market this morning was again domina- ted by the apprehensions growing out of the situation in the copper trade as emphasized by the virtual reduction in the dividend on Amalgamated copper stock. This mornings advices reported a very sharp decline in copper in the London market. and also a break of over three points in Rio tints' shares in the London stock market This ex- cited apprehensions that made trade conditions much more serious than has heretofore been expected and created feelings of grave alarm. Upon the open ing of local market there were further very extensive declines in both Amai- gamated copper and Anaconda innings stock. In the railroad list losses In ex- cess of one point were fairly common and there were no exceptions Of any significance to the general tendency of prices. Trading was in fairly large vol- tune and was well distributed. London sent in materially lower prices for our stocks, losses in many cases being In excess of one point and was seller or internationally listed shares. Upon the opening of business in this market ac- tive features of the railroad list were St. Paul, Southern Pacific, Southern Railway and the Erie and Readings. In the industrial quarter the United States Steel issues were actively dealt in at slight declines from yesterdays final prices. and Sugar refining was decidedly weak. Market movements were, how ever. fairly uniform and were apparent ly wholly determined by common causes. Aside from the copper situation there was nothing novel that attracted atten- tion upon the opening. The rise In sterling exchange late yesterday was accounted an unfavorable factor as like ly to retard importations of gold. but there seemed to be no apprehension of the immediate development of stringency in the money marAet
