The New Amendment.

What malign crankiness was brought to
bear upon Mr.. CLEVELAND to induce him to
declare substantially for a new amendment
to the Constitution giving the President
the power to appoint the Senators OF the
United States?
Under the law OF the anti-snappers
the multifarious political Migrants who feel
themselves above debt or allegiance to the
Democratic party. Mr.. CLEVELAND. assum-
ing that his powers We're limited to the
States in which his own party has obtained
a majority in the Legislature. can soon ap-
point Senators in New York, California.
Wyoming. Wisconsin. Texas. Virginia. and
perhaps in Kentucky. Before his term ex-
pires in 1896 he will have filled nearly every
Democratic seat.
For our part we say frankly that we
would rather see each one OF these States
choose an inferior man to represent their
people in the Senate than that the power OF
choosing those representatives should be
transferred from the States to the Presi-
dent or President-elcct.

that piquancy OF charm for audiences with
which novelty invested them In tho early
days OF their appearance on the platform.
The most sympathetic listener is annoyed
by the frantic efforts tho average woman
public speaker makes to be heard. and by
the nervousness and lack OF self-control
painfully evident in her address.
In Sorosis, tho oldest Of women's clubs.
where public speaking has been practised
for quarter of century, the fair dcbaters
are rs rule closely confined to copiously
wordy papers. Their ideas are not infrc-

In several of the women's colleges there
is now provided practical training in
political details as a means OF preparation
for the responsibilities OF life. Campaigns
are organized. platforms are framed
and discussed. registration In accordance
with the statute is required. and ballots are
polled according to the Australian system.

Was Livingstone Accurate :?

When DIR. LIVINGSTONE died near the
southern shores of Lake Bangweolo. tho
faithful servants who bore his body to the
sea buried his heart under tree in the
village where hc brcathed his last. They
carved a rude inscription on tho tree. some
letters from which were removed and
brought TO England by JOSEPH THoMsoS's
expedition. which recently visited the scene
OF the great explorers deatll.
1t has been known for several years that
tho map DR.. LIVINGSTONE made Of Lake
Bangwcolo was very Inaccurate. Its pres
ent form on tho maps is altogether different
from that Of the lake he represented. and
We know that the Luupula or eastern
