Potomac Railroad Company; that it is
very inaccessible for service con. tections
and is a menace to the safety of the
tracks, which might be seriously dam
aged in case of a break IN the main. Mr..
Duvali states that 1t is claimed this water
main has been rendered practically use
less because Of its location with refer

der the recent act of Congress to elm

ginia Avenue in the vicinity of 81, over
which the railroad tracks now extend,
will be covered by a solid masonry con-
struction about twenty feet in height,

the railroad company should bear the ex-
pense Of replacing it on the north side of

executive order abolishing the Cuban
export duty on tobacco from April
lst. The Cuban economic commis-
sion earnestly recommended the. ac-
ton. Gen. Wood approves the abo-
lition of the tax or duty, which is
considered as an expression OF his
belief that the Cuban revenues from
other sources will provide for the
necessary expense of the insular
government. 1t is believed that
this action will have 4 favorable i'm

urged also that Cuban sugar be al

The disgraceful exhibitions which
have been made the past few years
in several State legislatures over the
election Of United States Senators
are arousing strong PublIc senti-
ment in favor Of popular senatorial
elections. The unlimited waste OF
time. the enormous expense and the
debasing methods employed are a
BY word and last reproach upon the
nation. The Montana legislature
has placed itself in such light before
the country that years will not re-
move the stigma. Nebraska has also
wasted session Of the Legislature
and the Delaware legislature adj
iourned without electing a Senator.
Just how long the people OF the
country will endure this corr"pt and
corrup,ing method of choosing Sena-
tors cannot be told. There IS en-
couraging evidence that they are
awakening to the meaning OF it.
