securing direct election of United States Senators by the people have in various States taken three forms. Senatorial candidates are sometimes designated by party conventions, as in Nebraska a year or two ago. Sometimes they are chosen at voluntary primaries organ ized under party rules. Sometlmess tablished primaries which are compul- sory on all parties.
 As is we'll known, 1t is in the Souths where the Democratic Party is su- preine; that the experiments with di- rect election have been most success full Some of the Southern Senators even describe themselves in their bio- graphical sketches in the Congressional thousand majority, giving the figures of the primary vote, Louisiana, Missis- sippi, Alabama, Florida. Arkansas. Vir- now all have legally established pri-
 The latest development in Alabama shows a still further extension of the popular idea. The Alabama Legisla- ture meets only once in four years. Oc- casionally, therefore. as will be the case next year, the Legislature has two Senators to choose. If Senator dies cessor, may under the right conting- ency nut a man in office for almost four years. The people of Alabama do not look upon this great power in the Governors hands with favor. They have. therefore, devised a method for bringing the Governors appointive power, under the same kind of control they have established over the Legisla- ture's power of election.
 The Democratic State Committee has arranged for a special informal pri- mary this year at which two alternate Senatorial candidates shall be chosen. Then If the elected Senator dies the Governor will be expected to name the alternate as his successor. Of course, the primary choice cannot legally bind the Governor But no one seems to think that the Governor, any more than the Legislature, would rebel against dictation.
 This latest step Is a most interesting Indication of the satisfaction with which the people of Alabama contem:- plate their extra constitutional method of controlling their Senators.

MARKET FOR COTTON
WEAK AND UNSETTLED UNDER BEAR
 PRESSURE AND EMULATION.
Sellers Seemingly are Chiefly From the South---Close Little Up From Lowest With Losses of
 to I8 Points.

New York, Jan. 26.--The cotton market was weak and unsettled under bear pressure and liquidation which Seemed to be chiefly for Southern account The close was ltt- tie up from the lowest on covering. but final prices showed net loss of to IS points The. market opened steady at an advance of to points in response to somewhat better cables than expected and the con- tinued large spot business in Liverpool. But sentiment here was bearsh and the market almost immediately eased off under selling by. local professionals and scattering liquid ation. Reaching t1.33 for March there was a brief reaction on covering bus there was no sign of important bull support and in the early afternoon the bears raided the market aggressively, catching stop loss or ders on the decline and forcing prices to q new low level for the period since the governments estimate of the crop. The decline was accompanied by bearish private wires regarding the spot situation from New Orleans and rumors of cut in the price of cotten goods. At the lowest March sold at i1.1s or 20 points net lower. March closed at II. 2i and the final tone was steady Sales for the day were estimated

New York Jan 26.-There was considera- ble pressure of liquidation for a time, nut precision and aggressive buying orders ap- peared. which started prices upward asaln pursued ds to any great extent and the market became rather strangely quiet and negiect- ed without any marked Pointa or es1rlss The forecast of the weeks currency in movement proved more favorable than had been ex.. pected on the day to day transactions or

Since the new city charter no bonds have been issued for less than # per cent, but the price Of the secu- rutties has been declining from above iO3 to below par. The high rates for money and the speculative demand for securities With claims to share in profits are given as the causes of the declining tendency In fixed interest bearing securities, of which this was example Disappointment over the decision of the constitutionality of the stock in the activity of the late market The early selling pressure centered upon Read ing and the unsupported condition Of that stock had a sympathetic effect on the rest of the list. The strength of Union Pacific. St Paul, AmaIgannated Copper and the United states Steel stocks made an effective leadership for the recovery fin the market was supplement- ed by the active demand for the Pennsylva- mia group and a number of the Morgan raii- roads. Less effect was produced by the wider advance in a number of stocks of a more obscure type.
 The strength of Colorado Fuel and of Denver and Rio Grande was connected with the plans for the Pacific coast extensions for the Gould system and St Paul and the additional requirements thus indicated for steel products.
 Reports of gross earnings of railroads for the third week in January and of net earn ings for December made a favorable showing vile and Nashville. Southern Railroad and several of the minor grangers.

A Cure for stInsiness.

A small church was sadly in want of general repairs, and a meeting was being held to raise funds for that pur- pose
 The minister having said that to do the work $500 would be required, very wealthy (and equally stingy) member of the congregation rose and said he would give one dollar. Just as he sat down a lump of plaster fell from the ceiling and hit him upon the head. whereupon he rose hastily and called out that he had made a mistake-he would give fifty dollars. That was too much for an enthusiast present. who' forgetful of everything, called out fer- vently: 70 Lord, hit him again"
