THE ELECTION OF UNITED STATES
SENATOR'S.

Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, introduced
a Joint resolution early in the present
session of congress, proposing a constitu-
tional amendment requiring that the cleo
ton OF United States senators shall be by
popular vote. Senator Turpie, of Indiana,
introduced similar resolution Mr.
Mitchell and Mr.. Turpic blended their
two measures into new joint resolution,
proposing as the sixteenth amendment to
the constitution provision that senators
shall be elected for six years by direct vote
OF the people, the qualifications for elect
ors 70 be the same as for members of the
most numerous branch Of the state leCis-
lature, and the power 10 appoint in case of
vacancy resting with the governor until
tne next congress election.
When this resolution came before the
SenAte-Senator William +. Chandler, of
New Hampshire, exposed its essential
sbsurdity in a speech which is commended
on all sides for its ability. Senator
Chandler pointed out to Senator Turp;e
that one of the results of the change
would be the certain adoption Of federal
which Senator Turpie, rs an Old bourbon
coppcrhead Democrat. is bitterly opposed.
Senator Chandler points out that if sena-
tors Of the United States are to be elected
by direct vote of the people I'VE shall be
brought face % face with the proposition
that the president and vice president
shall also be elected by the people. aud
whenever the president and vice presi-
dent are chosen by popular elections. it
all be entirely possible for one state by
enormously swelling its vote by frauda-
lent methods, or by other unfair means
net absolutely fraudulent, to wholly over
come the exact and honest votes Of other
states
There will be OF necessity q national
election law which will not only tx the
qualifications OF the electors of representa-
tlves, senators and president and vice

senators, president and vice president will
be chosen at elections called by federal
officials, with the voting lists made up bv
federal officials, and with the count and
the declaration and certificate Of election
made by them"

A MELANCHOLY SPECTACLE.

Corbett, the young Californian, who ia
70 hight Sullivan for the championship of
the world, has a splendid physique, and is
described as sober, well-behayed, inteli-
gent and courteous man. Granting this
report to be true, how melancholy is the
spectacle of q fine young man fit for bet
ter things STOPPING to the level of the
prize ring.
Sullivan is nothing but a magnificent
animal; he is wife-beater, a savage in his
cups, a coarse brute. Falstaf's recruits
were food for powder" and Sullivan has
just about brain enough to make a
bruiser. The industrial world loses
nothing when such creature takes
to the prize ring; if nature had not given
him an exceptionally fine body, Sullivan
has not brains or character enough to keep
him from being lost to sight in the mass
of lusty loafers and brawny bummers that
swarm in the great cities of the land.
John is q sow's ear that under no circum-
stances could ever have been converted
into a silk purse.
But, if it be true that Corbett is fit for
better things than the prize ring, how
melancholy is the spectacle of his fall
down to the level of the dog pit of the
prize ring. The fact that Corbett is fit for
a better fate, for nobler work than
making a hideous holiday for the
bulldog bull pout, brutal side of human
nature makes it the more difficult to ex-
cuse his choice. As master or teacher of
athletics he was worthy of all respect, and
was the peer of anybody; but the moment
he enters the dog pit of the prize ring he is
surely lost to any further worthy service
to society.
Whether he wins or loses his fight,
whether he makes "a pot of money" or not
he has begun career that slowly but
surely spells a man for better things. The
prostitute and the prizefghter are the
social compliments of each other. Tn.
woman who sells her beauty to
all bidders and the man who
degrades his fine body to the level of a
dog PIT have but the same excuse in COM
mon. The woman's beauty sold means
transiently more money than she can earn
~ HohcSs ihuoshy, INC hiaH pouy soiu
TO those who pat his red brown and bet
their dollars on his blood means more
money than life of honest industry and
manly toll.
1t is nothing but the old base plea of ex-
cusing degraded and unworthy pursuits
because there is money in it," There is
no glory in it; no proof of courage in it;
it is simply trampling soul and body into
the dirt TO make holiday for hoodlums.
If anything is unworthy of a man fit for
better things, surely it is prizefghting,
for it is prostitution.

GIVE WHAT is GIVEN.

He whom God in love has gifted
With a sight beyond the rest,
Must toll on till he has lifted
Other eyes TO see the best.
Flame he must when false lights beckon
Men and nations 10 their doom;
Him shall unborn ages reckon
As their glory or their doom.
What 70 him tho crowd that listens
To itself and is content?
Guided by the star that giistens
Highest in the armament
He must stand beyond the passing
THINKER on the dresmer's way;
Toiling. deiviug and amassing
Wisdom for future dag.
From the rise OF oldest nations
To the last land Of the earth,
All along the different stations
Made and filed By men OF worth.
He behold's Truths hands forever
Crushing down the Wanted lie!
Urging him with high endeavor
To the deed that shall not die.
