tai Of the State and proceed to elect two

tai Of the State and proceed to elect two
Senators.
By this system it appears to US there
would be greater certainty of the true
viii of the people being made effective.
The thinly settled sections would not be
placed at the mercy of the more populous,
while the cehters of population would not
be deprived of their due voice in the col
lege. To elect by popular vote OF the
whole State may give the election into the
hands of a very small minority holding
tie balance of power as third party. 1t
will certainly tend to give the massed
population in cities control that will be
injurious to rural interests so far as re-
preston of expression is concerned.
The college system will give minorities
of population and interests, representation
they cannot have where the election is
general. The money influence, which it
is charged operates so largely under the
present system to determine the choice,
will be greatly handicapped by district
system of choosing Senatorial electors.
Moreover, and this is strong feature OF
the proposed plan, the election of legis-
lators will be divorced from the entangling
questions that hedge them about in the
years when Senators are to be chosen
Under the present system the STATE Senate
is one-half in each Legislature made
up OF hold-overs, a majority of whom
may not be en- rapport with the sentiment
! of the people concerning the choice, O
United States Senators at the time wher
the selection is to be made. But by the
college method the representatives tc
choose Senators viii always come fresf
from the people.
/ We are satisfied that the more Thu
proposition is thought over the NOR,
favorably it viii be received. Like al
new propositions it will take some time tt
sink into the public mind, but It's virtue
are so manifold and objections to it OF sucl
minor Importance, compared to the pro
posed election by direct general vote, tina
We are confident the scheme vii
strengthen in popular favor the more it i
| examined.

ELEcTINe UNITED STATES SENATORS

Senator Mitchell has introduced a bill
in Congress providing for such modifca-
ton of the system of choosing United
States Senators that they may be selected
by direct vote of the people. 1t is not
probable that the Senator expects the bill
to receive much attention at this session of
Congress; nor is it likely that any change
will be made in the very early future.
But the fact that the bill has been intro
duced indicates strong drift of sentiment
in favor of some change.
1t is unnecessary to repeat the arguments
for and against modification of the present
method-it can be safely assumed that the
majority of the people are conversant with
them, and well understand the reason that
actuated the Fathers of the Nation in set
ting up the system. But taking up the
question as subject Of debate in which
the people feel unusual interest, we repeat
that the plan suggested a few days ago in
the REcoRD-UNIoN, on the assumption
that change will be made and is desira-
BILE, is superior to that of election by direct
vote.
The scheme advised is that Senators be
selected by Senatorial. electoral college in
each State. The idea is that States should
be districted in manner to group common
interests, and so as to prevent the intro
duction Of the ''Gerrymander," for the
purpose of choosing in each district given
number of Senatorial electors. These
electors would then assemble at the Capt.

The American copyright bill has been
defeated. We do not understand why; it
is more than puzzling that Congressman
who are SO solicitous about protecting
American industries should refuse protec-
ton to American authorship. If the pro-
duct Of the hand, the result of inventive
skill, the production of the tiller of the
Soil should be protected, why should not
the product of the brain worker? There
is no such encouragement as there should
be for american authors, when they labor
with the certainty that their work will be
stolen and republished cheaply in foreign
country and the books sent back to Amer
lea to compete with The original issue,
from which the author must derive a
royalty or labor for nothing.

A VALUABLE INVENTION.

The world of invention is tireless in It's
labors in behalf of human interests. One
of its most recent devices is certain to prove
Of greatest service in navigation, and to
amount to life-saver. Under the present
system the approach of ship to shallow
water can only be ascertained, where there
are no exterior evidences, by the casting
Of the lead, or the use of Sir William
Thompson's compact sounding machine.
But that is not automatic, for it requires
the service of three men. Even then swift
ships have to slow down when it is used,
to avoid danger to the men working It,
Neither will the Thompson machine show
continuously the depth Of water over which
the ship is sailing. Now, however, comes
an inventor with device for use in thick
weather as danger signal, and that is
equally as useful for taking single sound
ing at any time or place. 1t is in the form
of an inverted kite. 1t is let down with a
sinker to a given depth, and tows without
being affected, until shoal water is APP
preached, or depth less than that meas
ures for the instrument The instant that
condition is reached and the sinker touches
bottom, it is released and the kite comes
to the surface, and simultaneously, through
its OBTAINING cord, it sounds warning
gong upon the deck. There is also dial
plate operated through the line, that shows
the actual vertical depth continuously at
which the sinker keeps the inverted kite.
Probably inventive genius has not in this
age given to navigators more welcome
device.

VERMONT is importing colonies Of
Swedes to occupy her abandoned farms.
The Swedes will work the old homesteads
for time, but just as soon as they dis
cover why the farms of Vermont were
abandoned, they will follow the drift and
go West with the cheap and fruitful lands
of which New England soil cannot COM
pete. The effort to reclaim the Vermont
lands to the uses of productive industry is
one that is creditable to the pride of her
people as loyal Vermonters, but that the
effort will meet with success is improbable,
because the same conditions that sent the
Vermont farmer West, or out of agricult-
ure, will prevail in the case Of the Swedes
They may be willing to work harder, to
live on less, TO be more frugal in all direc-
tions, but before long they viii float to the
locality where their hard labor and frugal.
ity will receive larger rewards.

party has had in Congress for many years.
If Democratic tidal wave sweeps over
the country next year similar to that Of
1874, still the Republicans from 1891 to
and including 1898 win have good work
ing majority in the Senate. The hope of
the Democracy, therefore, to control the
national Legislature in the near future is
not well grounded. Indeed, how that
party can accomplish it earlier than 1895
no one has made clear.
