SENA TORS BY DIRECT PRIMARY.

The idea of letting the people select
their nominees for the United States
Senate is perfectly right in principle
and would work we'll in Maryland
bur for the silly opposition that ex-
lists between the counties and the
city of Baltimore. For some un-
known reason, we never could tell
why, there has of late years grown
up a tendency to array one section
of the State against another.
1t would be we'll to remember that
neither can exist without a commu-
nifty of interest Baltimore city
would only be little black spot On
the map were it not for the sur
rounding country that feeds it and
itfeeds upon. AS the heart must fur
nish good rich blood to strengthen
the brains, so our metropolis needs
from time to time the Importation of
strong gray matter, which is di avn
from the different counties. 1t is a
remarkable fact that many of the
men who are today prominent in
Baltimore city are from the coun-
try" Hartford has furnished its
quota, and there are i'll the lists to-
day none of her people, except posi-
bly, few who are domiciled with
Warden Weyler, but what boast of
the native heath. They are proud OF
their country origin, and we are
proud of them for thus upholding
the county's reputation.
If the press and the people of Bal
timore are willing to put aside the
prejudices and luminosity that are
held against the countrymen, we
think that it would be we'll to try
the experiment of choosing senator's
by direct vote and having our legis-
lators afterwards ratify them. You
can trust the people all the time, and
the will of the majority is the foun-
dation of every democratic form OF
government. The average country
man, however, is going to be loath
in advocating this plan until he is
convinced that the men who shall
wear the toga shall be chosen, not
primarily because they are from Bal,
timore city on account of its large
number Of votes, but rather that
they represent the brains of Mary
land, no matter whether they come
from the mountains, the brick pave
ments, the hills and dales-like dear
old Hartford, or the lowlands of the
Eastern Shore.

Monster Dam Projected Across
Great River
DEVELOP THOUSANDS OF HORSE power
ENGINEERS ESTIMATE COST At
se,ooo,ooo-WoRk STARTS
BY FIRST OF YEAR.

Work will be begun before the year
is out on a dam across the Mississippi
river. at the foot of the Des Moines
rapids, for the development of water
power, writes F. G. Moorehead in the
World today. 1t will be the greatest
project of the kind except the COM
bined works at Niagara, the dam the
greatest in the world except those
built by the British in the Nile.
A minimum of $4,000 horse power
is to be obtained and transmitted to
factories in the heart Of the agricul-
tural center of the nation. The dam
will be in sight of the three states
of Iowa, Illinois and Missouri, the
legislatures of each state having
adopted resolutions approving the
work and promising all possible as
sistance.
The estimated cost of the work will
be $6,OOO,OO0, which is 500 per horse
power on the minimum power capacity
Of $4,000 horse power. The cost Of
supplying power, including all fixed
charges, maintenance, operation and
all expenses, is closely estimated at
So per horse power a year, the cost
of steam power in the territory within
200 miles now being from $40 TO $65
per horse power per year, with $55 as
a conservative average.
Within a radius of forty miles of the
central power-house lie twenty towns
with population of 1000 or over, the
population in this area aggregating
24S,161 The average distance by rail-
road to the twenty towns is twenty
four miles. Their population in 1900
was 112,122.
Including in the same 6,293 square
miles of territory are also forty viii
lagos with a population of 1861 and
a rural population of 112,37S. Within
a radius of 100 miles there was a
population in 1900 of 1146,946, in
Guiding hundreds of towns and cities.
Within a radius of $50 miles there
was in 1900 a population of 1917, O46.
