Senators by Direct vo;e.

The proposition TO elect United
States senators by u direct vote of the peo.
pie has many advocates in Congress, and
already an unus ual number OF ioint resolu-
tions providing for amendment Of the con.
stitution, so that the proposition may
become a certainty, have been introduced
So much interest has been manifested in
the subject and so large is its support that
the House committee on the election Of
president vice president and representa-
uves, 10 which the joint resolutions were
referred, gave a hearing Moaday morning
10 number of representatives who have
introduced propositions for the new man
ner Of election OF senators. MIR. BRYAN of
Nebraska, in advocating his measure. said
he proposed change in the constitution
so that il may be optional with the states
to elect senators by direct vote or by
other method. MIR. Miller of Wisconsin
advocated the allowance of one senator To
each state, and an additional senator for
each additional million OF population. Mr..
Enloe Of Tennessee, and MIR johnson of
Dakota, advocated general application of
the amenIment,s SO that election by popular
vote would be the same in every state.

The Arab slave dealers determined not
to wait for an attack. They gathered what
force they could muster and attacked Mr..
Johnson and his men at Makaniiras. \

Hoyle, of the South Africa company; q
Mr.. MacEwen and nine others on the

wounded.

Fixing Up the Monitors.

Orders have been received at
League island navy yard, Philadelphia, to
put in proper condition and get ready for
sea the monitor Montauk, which in naval
parlance has been "iaid up in ordinary'' on
the Delaware river front, moored to the
monitor wharf since 1883.
The Montauls was built during the war
of the rebellion and served during the lat
ter part of that struggle in the naval cam
paign on the Mississippi river. She has a
single revolving turret, in which are
mounted two 16-inch riiied guns, which are
formidable weapons for use in coast and
harbor defense.
There are two other monitors at League
island-the Nahant Hnd the Jason. 1t is
believed they, too, win soon be made ready
for ssa. -

A MAN may be filed with knowledge
of many sorts-may in fact by the
aid of retentive memory be O walk
ing encyclopedias of information and
yet have very little power in himself.
He simply holds vast quantity of
facts and truths. but does not use
them. He can tell the views of a
hundred philosophers. but has no
philosophy of his own. He has the
written histories of many nations at
command. but of their underlying
causes and principles he has no
thought; still less could he apply them
to the present living issues of the day.
He may be able to quote poetry by the
yard. yet owing to weak and un-
trained Imagination. be unable to
fathom and enjoy single poem. He
may understand many systems of
ethics. yet utterly fail to perform a
single net of self-sacrifce when duty
demands H. In his case at least
knowledge is not power. 1t is like
tae heap of gold which lies idle and
useless in the chest of the miser COM
pared with what it might become If

Serious Charges of a Stockman.

H. H. Metcalf, Secretary of the
Colorado Cattle Growers Association, in
his annual report alluded 10 the trouble
that stockmen have with .'rustlers.n
In speaking of the prosecution Of cattle
thieves he made the following severe
charges: ''I will say that no case is prose
cuted by the Association through malice.
Nothing is done on hearsay. Unless we
have the most positive proof, the outside
world knows nothing of our suspicious,
and when we ask for conviction we know
the defendant is guilty beyond shadow of
doubt. But the verdicts OF granger iuries
and decisions Of justices of the peace are
oft times beyond the comprehension of
man. In two OF the cases where the de-
PENDANTS were acquitted, both had ac-
knowledged their guilt before the Justice
Of the peace, but the iuries did not believe
them aud declared them not guilty. In one
of these cases was enjoyed the spectacle of
q prominent county official, the leader of
his party, sitting with defendants attor-
ney and selecting Jury that would acquit
even after such acknowledgment of guilt.
And this county advertises tens of thou
sands of acres Of grazing land for horses,
cattle, etc, a good economical and honest
county government, which insurcs low
taxation, and is guarantee for the protec-
ton of property-such protection es the
wolf gave the lamb.n
