SENATORS BY POPULAR VOTE.

The point made by Senator Depew.
in the debate on the bill providing for
the election of senators by popular
vote, is certain to command good
deal of attention in the South, par
ticularly in those states in which suf-
frage has been restricted by constitu-
tional amendment. The point that Mr..
Depew made is that if senators are to
be elected by popular vote the ballot
box must be open to all of those who
are recognized as citizens by the con-
stitution of the United States.
As is well known there are four or
five Southern states in which illiterate
negroes are eliminated from the suf-
frage. There is a growing sentiment in
the North in favor of permitting the
Southern states to manage the ballot
in the way that seems best to them.
Indeed, this sentiment now seems to be
strong enough to defeat any such
measure as the Crumpacker bill. In
the course of his speech Mr.. Depew
took occasion to say that under ordi-
nary circumstances and normal condi-
tons he was not in favor of reducing
representation in those states of the
South which have restricted their suf.
frages; was not in fact, in favor of any
legislation by the general government
which interfered with the local affairs
of any of the commemorative, but he
announced that if the proposed amend
ment to the constitution providing for
the election of senators by the people,
were pressed, he should insist upon
power being given to insure a full and
free vote of all citizens of the repub-
lie. The amendment which he proposed
to the amendment aims at that very
thing. 1t is that for the election of
senators and representatives in Con-
gress the qualifications of citizens en-
titled to vote shall be uniform in all
of the states.
While we have never thought that
the Crumpacker bill would command
majority in either the Senate or the
House, there is not much doubt that
Mr.. Depew's proposition would COM
mand the support of both Houses, If
the amendment providing for the cleo
ton of senator's by popular vote should
be passed 1t is practically certain that
If Mr.. Depew's proposition should go
before the country, in connection with
the question Of electing senators by
popular vote. it would be very gener-
ally approved in the North. 1t would
give the method adopted by some of
the Southern states of dealing with the
illiterate negro vote an Importance
which it has not yet attained and
which it will never attain unless aided
in some such way as that way sug-
gested by Mr.. Depew. Unless we are
greatly mistaken therefore Mr.. Depew
has given the movement for the cleo
ton of senators by the people a set
back, so far as the South is concerned
from which it will not quickly recover.
His proposition means that in elections
for senators and representatives the
law of the state which is the most
liberal in the matter of suffrage shall
apply in all the states, and that there
shall be power provided for the en-
fcrcement of that law.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer (Dem.)
says: Certain Cuban courts have
done away with the jury system. The
judges claim that it is almost impos-
sible to secure conviction on a jury
trial. This would look as if the jury
men were determined to stick to-
gether."
The Louisville Courier-Journal
(Dem.) says: "'This talk says the
New York Sun. about Mr.. Roosevelt,
or Mr.. Hanna. or any other gentleman
as the Republican candidate for Pres
ident in 1904 is not half so interesting
or important as the election of a Re-
publican House of Representatives in
1902 Very true. The hungry man
who sees the prospect of supper grow
ing uncomfortably less cannot be ex-
pected to take much interest in prob
lematic Thanksgiving turkey two years
in the future"
The New Orleans Picayune (Dem.)
says: THAT the President has wrought
wisely for himself and for the country
by his visit to Charleston is not only
manifest to-day, but it will be more
so in the fruits this visit will bring
forth. and not the least of these effects
Is the giving OF the lie 10 the scam
dalous statement made some time ago
that his visit would not be we'll re-
ceived. The brave and proud and hos
pitable people of that historic old
Southern city were bound by every
consideration of honor and all the in
fiuence of glorious tradition to give
the President of the United States their
best and heartiest welcome, and they
have done it up to the highest mark
of the grandest Southern require
ments"

Cecil Rhodes had such a funeral as
he wanted. 1t was queer mixture of
civilization and barbarism. He was
buried with Christian rites, and a poem
composed by Kipling for the occasion
was read. Then the native Africans
slaughtered oxen as a sacrifice to the
departed spirit, and no doubt they in
dulged also in other Of their savage
customs. Rhodes personal ambition
reached even beyond the grave. His
tomb was chiseled in the solid rock
on the top Of hill called 1.-THE View
Of the World" he provided in his will
for the building of a railroad to the
crest of the hill for the convenience of
those who might desire to make pill
grimage to his last resting place: he
directed that the hill top should be
beautifed, and said it might be used
as burial place for those, besides him
self who had deserved well of the en-
pire." Mr.. Rhodes thus placed a high
estimate upon himself and expected
others, present generations as well as
posterity, to agree with that estimate.
Few other men ever took such ambi-
tious steps to perpetuate their own
tious to Derpetuate their names.

GATES THE DISTURBING FACTOR.

The activity in the shares of the
Louisville and Nashville and the South
ern Railways this week has given rise
to some interesting reports in finan-
cial and railway circles. On Wednes-
day there was a report, credited by
many, that the Southern had acquired
control of the Louisville and Nashville
and, strange to say, at neither the
banking house of J. P. Morgan &
Co., which controls the Southern, nor
at the banking house of the
Belmonts, which controls the
Louisville and Nashville was the
report affirmed or denied. In
fact. no information in regard to the
cause of the sudden rise in the price
of, or the sudden activity in, the stock
could be obtained from those in a DO
sition to know what was going on.
The conclusion was finally reached.
however. that the Southern was not
seeking control of the Louisville and
Nashville, but that John w. Gates, a
Speculation and plunger of renown and
wealth, was trying to corner the stock
of the Louisville and Nashville, and
that the stock of the Southern had
risen out Of sympathy with the mar
ket.
1t was said that Gates was backed
by s2o0,O00,Oo0. and that he made the
situation exceedingly uncomfortable for
the directors of the Louisville and
Nashville. 1t seems that the company
had decided to issue $5.O00OO0 of stock,
which had been authorized for certain
purposes sometime ago. The stock GER
tihcates were not ready for delivery.
but, as, the market was good, the direc-
tors decided to sell, and borrow shares
for delivery, to be returned just as
soon as the new certificates were
ready. Gates found this out somehow
or other. and became a heavy buyer
of the stock, putting up the price, and
thus embarrassing the directors.
This is probably the explanation of
the activity in the stocks of the South
| ern and the Louisville and Nashville.
There is no evidence that there was
an effort to make a great change in
the railroad map of the South.

President Roosevelt assures the peo-

his visit to Charleston. That is equiva-
lent to admitting that he did not know
great deal about the people of South
Carolina before he came in personal
contact with them. He found them

too many Republican leaders North,

WATTERsON,s REAsnN

Doubtless there will be a great deal
of speculation as to the real reason
Hon. Henry Watterson declined a DO
sition on the board of visitors to the
West Point Military Academy offered
him by the President. 1t will be re-
called that few weeks ago Mr.. Wat
terson made an address at the banquet
of the Virginia Democratic Association
OF Washington, in which he spoke of
the President as "a man on horse
back" whose face was turned towards
Imperialism, "a broncho buster" who
delighted to show off before the peo-
pie, but who, nevertheless, was restless
and ambitious. and was forever seek
ing to enlarge his power. BY some this
speech was treated humorously and
by others taken seriously. 1t is prob
able that Mr. Watterson was more than
half serious when he delivered it.
1t seems that he was approached be-
fore he delivered the speech with the
view of finding out whether he would
accept a position as a member of the
board of West Point visitors, if it were
rendered to him. 1t is reported that
he requested that the President wait
until after he had delivered his ad-
dress at the banquet of the Virginia
Democratic Association before tender
ing it. Apparently he thought the
President would not be pleased with
the speech, and therefore would not Of
fer him the appointment.
1t is reported, however, that the
President laughed at the speech and
told Gen. Corbin to offer the place to
MIR. Watterson. 1t seems that he did
not take Mr.. Waterson's speech seri-
ously, or, if he did, he wanted to show
him that he was not displeased with it.
Mr.. Watterson's real reason for de-
! Ginning the appointment was that he
has made arrangements to go to Eu-
rope next summer. He had that in
formation conveyed to the President
! privately. 1t does not appear in his
letter of declination.
