From all present indications Smyrna
is to get an additional appropriation
on its Federal Building, making $50. =
900 in all. AS $4,000 of it has al
ready been expended for a site, there
will be, if the extra appropriation
is granted, S25, 900 available for a
Postoffice Building. For this figure a
substantial building can be erected in
Smyrna and while $40, 600 is the a
mount Smyrna asked for and would
like to have, $50. 900 will give the
town something it will not be asham-

With state after state ratifying a
constitutional amendment for the di-
rect election Of United States Sena-
tors. the time is fast approaching
when this important question will be
taken from the Legislatures and put in
the hands of the people. only the
votes Of about eight or ten states
is needed to make it a law.
"Among the practical objection to
the plan of electing United States
Senators by the legislature, there are
two that outweigh the others. The
first is that it interferes with the
real work of State Legislature In
countless instances we have seen leg
islatures deadlocked during many
weeks, and utterly demoraiized as
regards their proper attention to
legislative and budgetary duties. A
second objection is that in many
cases the Senatorship becomes in
Volved in the election Of members of
the legislature. A United States
Senator is not infrequently carrying
on an exciting canvass for reelection.
under such conditions that his for
tunes are the chief issue in the vot-
ing for legislative candidates. Thus
two distinct sets of interests, one of
a national character and the other of
a State character, are mixed up in a
way that is detrimental to both. If
the people could vote directly for the
Senatorial candidate, their attitude
would be the national and they would
be solely concerned with the candi-
dates views upon national questions
and with his ability to represent the
State at Washington. Questions of
national politics have nothing to do
with the wise and prudent manage
ment Of purely State affairs.
eff the legislatures were relieved
of the task Of electing United States
Senators, there would be much less
reason for drawing national party
lines in electing State legislatures.
1t seems at times a mere play of pro-
fessional politics to classify mem
hers of a State Legislature as Repub-
lcans and Democrats. The careful
management of the affairs Of one Oi
our States, or one Of our cities, ha;
little more to do with the difference:
that divide national parties than tn,

COTTON ACTIVE
AND UNSETTLED
Prices Break Into Lowest
Ground Since Last
Autumn

New York, April 25.-The cotton market
has been active and unsettled during the
past week, with prices breaking into the
lowest ground reached since last autumn
under old crop liquidation and more or
less general selling, which appeared to
be inspired by the weakness of near
months here, and favorable view of new
crop prospects. Reports of a less active
trade in cotton goods, attributed partly
to tariff uncertainty, rumors of labor
troubles in Manchester and nervousness
over the European political situation
have doubtless contributed to the de-
cline, but the chief subjects of discus
sion in local trade conditions have been
the situation in May contracts and the
new crop outlook. Monday will be the
first May notice day in the local market
There were persistent rumors last week
that a large amount of the local stock
would be taken up on May contracts and
shipped to Liverpool, but there has been
less talk of such a development since the
decline set in, although May has sold
only 10 or II points under July, with the
difference narrowing to about points at
the end of the week, while 1t is estimated
that It would cost 20 points or more to
carry the cotton forward. The local stock
available for contract delivery aggre-
gates little over 100000 bales 1t is sup
posed that the scattering May interest
has been considerably reduced but the
extent and reception of the expected
notices still appeared to be attracting
good deal of interest after the close to-
night, with buishly disposed traders
claiming that the stock will hardly go
begging at prevailing discounts under
southern and foreign markets. Further
overfiows have been reported in the Mis-
sissippi valley and low temperatures in
the western belt have caused expressions
of anxiety in some circles. but recent
rains were generally considered beneficial
and the bears are still predicting inereas-
