News comes from Washington that
the Senate Committee has agreed to re-
port for passage. "a resolution to amend
the Constitution by abolishing the Elec.
toral College, and electing, the President
by a direct vote OF the people.
A joint resolution proposing a con-
stitutional amendment making the
Presidential term six years, with no
second term, and the Congressional
term three years, will also DO intro.
duced.
Changes Of this nature, made years
ago, would have saved the country from
the consequences Of the fraud of the
age and their consummation will
probably prevent q recurrence OF the
outrage. A similar reform in the yari.
ous States by which tho election Of
United States Senators might be taken
away from the Legislative bodies, and
placed in the hands Of tho people
would be attended with equally bene-
fetal results. A move in this direction
would certainly receive popular sup
port.

have the state authorize and prescribe the

no agency of watchfulness should be
