Comparatively little attention has been
devoted recently to the subject Of the popu
lar election of Senators, but the issue is
likely to soon attract general notice. Word
comes from Washington that the bill to pro-
vide for a constitutional amendment which
will enable United States Senators to be
chosen by direct vote of the people will
be favorably reported to the House at an
early date from the committee on the cleo
ton of President and s-President and
Representatives in Congress. The only
question now before the committee is said
to be whether the proposed amendment
shall make it obligatory on the States to
elect Senators by direct vote, or whether
the matter shall be left optional with the
State
Overlooking for the moment the main
issue, it may be stated that the question
which is botherng the commute is not a
trivial one. 1t is evident that should the
matter be loft optional with the state q
party might, on some other question, gain
control Of the state government and then
change the law and elect senator by the
Legislature, when the people never contem-
plated such u change or election. This
could be done in the same way as the
democrats of the Michigan Legislature
changed the law relating to the election Of
presidential electors and the evils resulting
would be very great. One argument used
in favor OF the optional plan is that the
Senate would be more likely to concur in
the proposed legislation, but this is not at
all reasonable to expect.
No good argument can be advanced why
the method Of electing United States sena.
tors should be changed from that evidently
contemplated by the founders of our gov
ernment The senators were intended to
represent the State as body, while the
congressman were to come directly from the
people, and thus far the system has been
most satisfactory in its operation.
With the popular election of senator's,
Vermont, for instance would select its rep
resenatatives in the upper branch OF Con-
gross practically the same rs our two con-
gressmen are at present elected, since each
. side Of the State, or in other words, each
! congressional district, is conceded United
States senator. 1t is true that the senator
would be elected by the votes OF the whole
State, but as matter of probability the
residents of each side OF the mountain ould
in effect be allowed to choose their senator
and the chief difference between the cleo
tions Of senator and n repre-
sentative would be the difference in
the length of term for which each was elect.
cd. 1t is to be hoped that it viii be long
time before the scheme for the popular
election of United States senator's become.
sufficiently popular to be put into practice

A Rival for { he Ice Yacht.

The ice yachtsmen of Lake Champlain
will be interested to learn that their swift
craft are about to have n rival in an ice
locomotive. A machine OF the nature indi-
Gated has just been built by man named
Mutry, New York boiler inspector, as an
experiment for navigating the Hudson on
the ice. 1t is about six feet long, with
cab attached, and tho highest part of the
machine Is not over three feet from the floor
OF the car in which it is located. Under the
centre of tho boiler, connected with the
steam chests by side rods, are two small cog
wheels, probably twelve or fifteen inches in
diameter, and under each end Of the mo
chine are two steel runners foot long each,
and fashioned like ice yacht runners. The
cogs referred to are expected to dig into the
Ice by force of steam, and thus move the
machine along over the ice on the runners Mt
a rate OF speed not yet estimated by the in
ventor. The whole affair does not weigh
much more than the largest ice yachts, but
, 1t is expected that it will be able to draw a
platform car en- runners and possibly two
cars.
1t is not likely that the new ice machine
Will be able to outstrip the average ice.yacht
under favorable conditions but in its use
1t Will not be necessary to "tack" frequent
ly, and when the wind dies out suddenly
the rider will not be obliged to dismount
and laboriously push his craft ashore. For
right down lively and lfe-givlng sport
however, the ice yacht may be confidently
relied upon to hold its own with the new

IN BUSINESS CIRCLES.
FAILURES OF THE WEEK SHOW AN
INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR.
Trade, However, Gradually Eniarging-
Tho East Does Not Get the Full Bene Fl
Business Lively in the West but Dull
at the South.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.--The business fail
ing the last seven days, as reported to II.
&. Dun q Co. and Il. Russell q Co., num-
Der for the United States 213. For the cor
responding week OF last year the figures
represent POI failures in the United States.
X. e. Dun G. Co. 3 weekly review of trade
says: In spite OF much dizziness and COM
plant n some important branches, trade
is generally charging. The East does
not get the full benefit, because Western
business is largely met by Western distribut-
ing centres, and that alone is increa lag
heavily, while Southern trade, which is
more largely met by distribution from the
East is unusually dull. But the West is
steadily increasing orders for manufactured
products, and is likely to buy more largely
in the next five months than ever before
Eastern consumption is also fairly up to the
maximum, as labor is well employed. The
stringency at the South, owing to the over
production of cotton and hurtful speculation
in the past, is at present the only force re-
tarding the general Improvement. Reports
OF business from other cities are a shade
more favorable. At Boston the dry goods
Jobbing trade is quite good, the demand for
wool steady with sales Of g. APT, 700 pounds,
and more orders for woollen goods, cotton
mills well employed, while tho boot and
shoe factories are quite steady.
Bradstreet's says there was 210 failures
in the United States this week About e5
per cent of them were employing capital
not to exceed $4,000 each, and about nine
per cent OF them $4,000 to $50, 900 each.

The report that an aluminium factory ia
to be established at Anderson, Ind, whore
the metal will be turned out at twenty five
cents pound, suggests wonderful possibilities
in the direction of cheapening silver by re-
placing it in the fine arts. For many pur-
poses aluminium is better than silver. 1t ia
lighter, less liable to tarnish and in some Of
its alloys Is more durable. 1t exists in I'M
limited quantities In the clay beds, require 5
no expensive mining, and the processes Of
reduction are being SO perfected that II is
taking Its place among the moro common
metals. II the manufacturers Of aluminium
hurry up they may be able to take hand

POSSIBLE CHANGE.

Do the Readers of the Free Press Prefer
Twelve-Page Paper Instead of the
Present Form?
The Chittenden county edition OF the
Weekly FREE PRESS was started last Octo-
Der because the very considerable increase
in our news service rendered a change of
some sort necessary. As our readers know,
the difference between the two editions has
consisted mainly in the ST. restitution of news
from Chittenden county towns, together
with more purely local matter, for news
from towns in other parts Of the State
While the change has, generally speaking
worked well, some OF our sub
scribers seem to think that ono paper,
covering the entire State, from Chittenden
to Windham and Essex counties,
would the better meet their wants. IL is
therefore proposed to issue one paper of 10
pages each week, in place of the usual eight
page paper in two editions and the eight page
bi-monthly supplement. The amount of
reading matter furnished in the course Of a
month will remain the same, but the 10
pages will make it possible to publish in one
edition all the news which at present goes
to make up the two editions.
This change is only contemplated and not
decided upon and as our readers are the
ones who are directly concerned in the
makeup of the paper should be glad to
receive expressions of opinion from them as
to its desirablity.

The stagnated condition of the cotton
market has led many newspapers to suggest
that the South raise less cotton and more
cereals. 1t is fact, however, that the
cereal yield in the Southern States last year
was valued at $4O3 600, 900, while the value
of cotton raised was only $3.50, 900, 900. 1t
Is encouraging to learn that there was a
large increase in the acreage of grain, hay,
potatoes and fruits over the previous year
and it is likely to be still further increased
the present year. Cotton has evidently lost
its old ascendancy in the South.
