WILLIAM H BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Fkidxt MoasTse. JfrLY 10. A C0H8TITTJTI0SAL AKE5D- The Baltimore tfttnjsays: For many yean there hai been a strong senti ment in Yarioui States of the Union in faTor of a change in the method of electing Federal Senators. The Constitution requires that they be elected hr the Legislatures, bat there is And hu lone been a more- ment to change the Constitution and haTe the Senators elected by the nennle. The idea of the framers of the Constitution was that the Sena tors should represent the States in thofr aoTereien capacity rather than aav c represent the people. When Mr. Calhoun was Vice-President it was his theory thst the Senators were to be regarded somewhat as ambas- adors from the States, and as pre siding officer of the Senate he treated them as such. But in the process of time, as the country has developed, changes hare taken place, which, in the opinion of a great body of people, render chanee in the manner of selecting Senators desirable. If it is essen tial to carrr out the idea of the framers of the Constitution and hare Senators as representatives of the governments of the States, there is no just reason why the sovereign people cannot select the representa tives of their States just as truly as the Legislatures can. There are two methods of changing the Constitution prescribed in that instrument, '"ongress may propose an amendment which shall become a part of the Constitution when rat ified by three-fourths of the States. A bill or resolution proposing an amendment must receive the assent of two-thirds of both houses. The House of Representatives has more than once passed a resolution b7 the necessary vote submitting an amend ment providing for the election of Senators by the people. But in this action the Senate has never con curred, and it is too much to hope that it ever will. The members having been elected by the Legisla tures naturally prefer that method. The other way to amend the con stitution is as follows: Congress is required on the application of the Legislatures of two-thirds of the several States to call a convention for proposing amendments which shall become effective when ratified i by the Legislatures of three-fourths of the several States or by conven tions in three-fourths thereof. Rec ognizing tnat it is Hopeless to ex pect any amendment of this charac ter by the voluntary act of Congress many of the States have taken the initiative for a convention. The Legislatures of 12 of them, we be lieve, have made application to Con gress to call a convention, and those in nine other States have adopted resolutions favoring the popular election of Senators. It will require the action of 30 States to compel Congress to call the conven tion, and with the prevailing sentiment in its favor there should be no difficulty in securing action for the reform in so many States. After such an amendment has been proposed by a convention, there is little doubt of its ratification by the' necessary three-fourths of States. The obstacle which stands in the way of State initiative in calling a convention la the personal and political influence of Senators over the Legislatures of the several States. The Federal Senator owes his election to his influence over the Legislature, and in late years the Senator, when he belongs to the party of the national Administra tion, is the dispenser of Federal patronage, and that, as a rule, makes his power over his Legislature abso lute. The great reason why the people desire the popular election of Sena tors is that the United States Senate Is no longer amenable to publio sen timent. The Senators represent politicians and political machines rather than the people. They are thus made independent of the peo ple and find it perfectly safe to defy the public will. There is another objection to the present method, and that is that the Senatorial elections interfere with the legitimate work of the Legisla tures, consuming time which should belong to law making. It also has a bad effect upon the personnel of Legislature. Men are elected to the General Assembly frequently with regard only to their vote for Sena tor and with no regard for their fit ness as law-makers, and it has al most come to pass than the Consti tutional plan has been reversed, namely, that the Senator appoints the Legislature rather that that tSe Legislature appoints the Senator.

The cost to the State of Virginia of keeping the peace in the city of Richmond during the recent street railway strike is estimated at $2,000 a dav. "The true nolicv of tho State," says the Philadelphia Rec ord, "is to collect the cost of pro tection from the property holders who are protected. This would not be only a measure of justice, but it wmild assure the best insurance against mob violence. There is nothing so cooling upon popular nnthreak as the knowledge that property destroyed by mobs must be paid for by tho cities or coun ties where such destruction is per mitted." The Charleston Neios and Courier wants to know how would this sort of an arrangement work in the striking section of the State of Penn sylvania? How would the taxation of the property holders of the coal regions have a cooling effect upon the mobs In that region; the members of which have no property, and would therefore not be liable to the payment of any taxes? If the rule laid down by the Record would be a good thing for Virginia, it ought not to be a bad thing for Pennsyl vania. A man in San Francisco had to pay pretty dear for being "sassy. Smoke from a gas and electric com pany's plant greatly annoyed Mr. Claus Spreckles, the sugar king. He tried to get the president of the company to have the nuisance abated. The president was very curt to Mr. Spreckles, and the lat ter, to avenge himself, established a rival gas and electric plant, at a cost of 14,000,000, and began cut ting rates. Prices were soon brought down to one-fourth what had for merly been paid. This proved too much for the "sassy" man and he begged for quarter. Spreckles' terms were to be bought out at the price of 6,000,000, which were agreed to. A dispatch from Grafton, West Virginia, Bays that the total value of the coal mined in that State last year was 21,694.748. an increase of 3,590, 35 G over the previous year. In three counties of the State Fayette, McDowell and Marion the production amounted to 13,- 631,275 tons. rWINKLINUS Will She takes a very small shoe, doesn't she?

The farmers of the West, re gardless oi politics, lor it is a per sonal pocketbook question with them, are as thorougly opposed to unjust tariff exactions as the manu facturers of Pennsylvania are to free trade in iron and steel, as de structive of their subsidies and trust aggrandizement.

It furnishes evidence that marble Is In reality a fluid of enormous viscosity. This has some bearing on the question of the frigidity of the rocks composing the crust of the earth and the gradual ad justment of the earth's contour under gravity.

New York, July 9.-aTbe cotton market opened firm at an! advance of thirteen points to a decline of one point, the loss being -confined to the January option. The gains were due to further bull support and firmer cables than expected, particularly in regard to spot cotton, which was ten points higher in the English market, witb sales reported of 10,000 bales. The bears were in no way disheart ened apparently by this showing, however, and with the favorable weather all over the belt they imme diately attscked thelist vigorously, selling prices down from about five to eleven points. Then their offerings diminished and the bulls began to ap pear more prominently in the dealing. From that time to the finish the course of values was almost uninter ruptedly upward. At first the rally was slow and lacked tne violence and activity which has recently marked the movement of prices, - but finding the resistance of the bears becoming less aggressive, the bulls bought more and more freely until at last near by shorts, rendered ttill less confident by the ' apparent powerletsness of the Wall street syndicate and reports of damage by boll weevil in Texas, were in full retreat. In the Isst hour the market became very active and excited and the near positions were advanced in quite as sensational a manner as has yet been witnessed during the bull campaign. August had reached 12.07; then 12.20 was bid and no sale; finally a seller was found at 12.30; then 12.35 was reached, this being an advance of ninety-seven points over the closing of tne preced ing day, or nearly $5 a bale., July, while less active was no Jess firm. reaching 12.55, a net gain of eleven points over yesterday's . final quota tions, while September reached 10.80c.
