A lsoN MOT on 1rs TRAVELS.

The story Mr.. Allen, the funny
man" of Congress, told yesterday about
Senator Ingalls, and the President was
much better the way We heard 1t than
in the form it was moulded by Mr..
Aliens chestnut burr.
According to the original version Mr..
Ingalls, called on the President and
asked the appointment of a Kansan to a
local office. The President assured the
Senator he would be glad to do any.
thing TO oblige him, but he had a
friend in Kansas whom he desired to
appoint TO that very Office.
That's right, Mr.. President; that's
all right. If you have a friend in Kan
sas give him anything he wants"
1t is presumed that the President
took the sarcastic Senator's advicd.

Tnr BRIDGE no AELISeroN

At last this very important public
improvement looms over the horizon of
the future. Instead Of being regarded
as a mere possibility it seems likely to
receive early consideration as a practical
project
About two months ago when the
plan of bridge over the Potomac at
the foot of New York avenue was first
mooted, the Senate inquired of the
Secretary of War as to the kind of
bridge most suitable to be constructed
at that point. The Secretary yesterday
transmitted the report of Colonel Hains,
The engineer officer in charge of the
Potomac River Improvements.
In his report Colonel Hams lays great
stress on the necessity for this improve
mcnt, but he directs consideration to tue
fact that at the point proposed the Poto-
mac is navigable river and that If
bridge were built there it would have to
span the Georgetown channel. This
would require an elevation in mid stream
Of from 100 to 100 feet, or, otherwise, to
be provided with draw. which latter is
undesirable for many reasons. Besides
the approaches 10 such bridge at both
ends would necessitate grades too steep
10 be satisfactory.
Nevertheless it is absolutely certain
that the bridge across the river to
Arlington should be built at the loca-
ton referred to. Not only would il
continue one of the great avenues Of
the city in almost direct line to the
great national cemetery, but the
ground on each side. is Government
property and its value would not prac.
tically enter into the question Of
cost
The plan of bridge which Colonel
1rains proposes would have a width OF
ffty.four feet, with roadway for
vehicles thirty-four feet wide, and a
walk eight feet wide on each side. To
obviate the difficulties of necessary
elevation he recommends a suspension
bridge 105 feet above water, which he
thinks can be built for $3,500,000.
II is to be hoped that the Senate will
take this report into early consideration,
and that within two or three years, by
means of tho New York Avenue
Bridge .he beautiful cemetery at
Arlington will be made accessible from
this city in way in which it has never
heretofore been

ELECTION BY THE PEOPLE.

iioN
The New York Eceaing Post, while
approving of the resolution of the
Farmers Alliance Of Kansas, which
opposes the reelection of Mr.. ingalls, to
the United States Senate, casts contempt
upon their demand that Senators shall
be elected by direct vote of the people.
1t calls attention to the fact that the
Constitution of the United States directs
Thai Senators should be elected by the
Legislatures of the several States. 1t
proceeds 10 say that the Alliance might
as well demand that the President shall
be elected by the Supreme Court.
But 1t might occur to our esteemed
contemporary that recollection of the
provisions of the Constitution is not its
individual monopoly, and that it is pos
sible that some Of the Kansas farmers
TO whom ii refers so sneeringly were
well informed as to the clause of the
Constitution 10 which it refers.
II would be quite as fair for men,
ber of the Alliance to infer from the
ospS statement that it had no knowl-
edge of the provision which is male in
the Constitution for its own amend
ment. Yet, if he were to do so he
would be as utterly wrong and incon-
siderate as our contemporary has been.
There is nothing in the resolution of
the Alliance TO indicate that in demand
ing the election of United States Sena-
tors by the people they had any 9th n
mode of procedure in their minds than
that which may be legally sought and
obtained by amending the Constitution.
At first sight, of course, this mode may
seem one of insuperable difficulty, but
that it is not regarded as absolutely i'm
possible is shown by the action in the
United States Senate by which Senator
Mitchell has proposed a constitutional
amendment for the election of Senators
by popular vote There have already
been fifteen changes made in the organic
document, and Mr.. Mitchell is perfectly
justified in insisting that II good cause
can be shown a sixteenth change may
be found not only possible but neces-
sary.
In truth, there are many reasons for
regarding the present mode of electing
Senators Objectionable. The provision
which embodies it was inserted in the
Constitution as compromise plan, and,
like all compromises, was not considered
satisfactory by either party. If at the
beginning of the Government the mode
Of election adopted was regarded with
little favor, why should it be slavishly
adhered to after the lapse of more than
century.
As fact, experience has demon.
strated that State Legislatures are moi
always safe repositories of the power
which in this respect the Constitution
has conferred upon them, and the feel
ing has been growing of late that where
the corrupt use Of wealth is to be feared
The people are much more to be trusted
thar their Legislatures. II is In the
nature of the case more easily manage
able to bribe Legislature than to cor
rupt the people of a whole State.

ABOUT FARM MORTGAGES.

Recent discussions both in the press
and in Congress in regard TO the great
extent to which farms throughout the
country, and especially in The Western
States, are under mortgage reveal a
curious condition of the public mind.
There has begun TO prevail in vague
and shadowy way feeling that these
mortgages are a sign of urgent distress
and that in some fashion the Govern
ment should come to the relief of the
farmers. The requirements made of
the Census Office in this connection
tend to give color to this view.
Now, any one who thinks Of this
matter for moment will see that any
action in the direction indicated is
simply communism. The man who has
mortgage on his farm either never
paid for it outright and never made
good his ownership or he borrowed
money which he used but has since neg.
lected to return to the lender. But all
this is private matter with which the
Government and the census enumeratOr
have nothing to do.
Besides a mortgage is not always
an evidence of poverty. Iu many
instances man mortgages his
farm because he wishes to pur-
chase some additional land, which
he believes he can cultivate proftably,
or because he desires to undertake some
enterprise. from which ho hopes TO
reap gain. In both cases there may
be failure, and the expectations in con-
nection with which money was bor-
rowed, may turn out to be fallacious
But all the same it was the lender S
money that was expended, and while
the mortgage remains unsatisfied the
loss is his.
Much foolish talk is ind ulged in on
every side of this question. Men speak
as though there had never been
mortgages before to-day. AS fact,
the ease with which money could be OBJ
tanned on farm security, especially in
the West. has been one great factor in
promoting the marvellous prosperity of
that region. If farmers are poor II is
not because they borrowed money, used
it, and are now unable to pay it back.
The cause must be sought elsewhere
But if the Government is in any way to
take charge of farm mortgages and help
them to pay their debts it should by a
parity of reasoning help every other de
clining business as well. In short, it
had better undertake at once to do the
whole business of the country.
