The United States senate. like the poor,
II Likely To be always with us. because its
sbossshment ls lmpractsesble. The fran
ers OF our constitution prohibited an
amendment Of the constitution which
would deprive any state Of its equal
suffrage in the senate without its consent.
This prohibition could be abrogated by
amendment and the senate abolished il
the people united 20 demand Il and to
enforce the demand through the action Of
congress and the state legislatures. but
there 10 no likelihood Of such result
being attained or attempted in the present
generation.
Another proposition is to consolidate
such states az Nevada aud idaho sith
adjacent territories. but that 10 practically
prohibited by the constitution unless the
legislatures Of the states concerned should
consent. which is, st least, improbable.
Another way TO influence the United
States senate would be 10 havo its mem
hers chosen by popular election In the
states and not by the legislatures. This
demand appears Cor the FIRST time IN the
Democratic platform in tho state OF Aassa-
chusetts Popular election would make II
impossible for such man as Cameron TO
mIsrepresent the great state OF Pennsyl-
vania. But the difficulty would be In Sc
curing the necessary amendment TO the
Federal constitution. for IL would have to
be proposed by at least two-thirds of both
houses OF congress and ratified by the leg
iklasures of three-fourths of the states.
Tp 10 the time Of the passage of the thir-
tenth amendment in February. 1865.
every effort TO amend the constitution
had been defeated, and that instrument
had not been amended for more than
sixty years Nothing but outrageous con-
duet on the part of the senate. melting
demand for constitutional convention
from tile legislatures OF two-thirds of the
states, would be likely to bring abou. the
election of senators by popular vote.
The only practicable way TO reach the
United States senate and make il more
Representative OF the people by making It's
members feel their responsibility TO the
majority that has q right in this country.
would be Tor every state TO adopt the prac-
tiee OF nominating candidates for the SEN
ale BY conventions OF the popular dele
gates of political parties and impressing
upon legislatures the obligation TO choose
from the candidates so nominated. This
was done by the Republican state eonsen-
ton of Massachusetts, last year when IL
nominated Henry c. Lodge for United
States senator. This practice could easily
he made general and secure such sanction
that members of a legislature would no
more think of disregarding the nomina-
tons OF their party conventions than
members Of the electoral college now
think Of setting aside the candidates of
their parties in casting their votes for
president and vice president.

Start With and have only hity-twe now. but the

while the deer are nearly all gone The bears

yards OF my house. One was in and got o sheep

A solid city In the Far West.

WORCESTER MASS, Spy.
There are q few bright spots in the dark
desert of financial fanaticism in the West.
The city of Seattle. in Washington, is one
of them. 1t is one of the most Eastern"
of all Western cities. The silver miasm
seems not to have enervated the sound
money views of the New England men
who went thither. The fifteen banks
in that city have not been agi-
tated even by q run. What sublime
idiocy this Western raving is, anyhow
One of the pet charges is that New York
gold bugs" are eonspiring TO ruin the
South and West. These hated "gold bugs"
are mostly Eastern merchants and CAPT
talists, who depend very largely upon the
West and South for their markets. Ii is
quite on par with prevalent Western no.
tons to suppose that Eastern men would
deliberately scheme to destroy the mar
kets where their goods are sold.
