WHY THE Senate Is SLOW.

1t is well said by Channcey M.
Depew that "nothing has happened
since the organization of this GOV
eminent that has brought the Sen
ate into auch disrepute" as its ac-
ton, or nonsaction, on the silver
question. Mr.. Depew adds that
"un. .ess it acts speedily it is going
to lead to a serious agitation for
the changing of tie structure of
that body"
As the Philadelphia Times Per,
tuently remarks, it is curious that
this subject shouid force Itself on
public attention here at the same
time that the obstruction of the
House of Lords has caused an agi-
tation in England for a change in
the structure Of that body. And
for reasons eimilar-that the upper
house is not directly answerable to
the country.
There is this important differ
ence, however, that while the
Peers are responsible only to them~
selves or their order and cannot be
reached in any way b. the electors,
except through the long and steady
pressure Of public opinion, the ins
science of Senators comes as often
from those who are behind them as
from confidence in themselves. 1t
is not the men of independent
Judgment with the courage to re-
sist a passing wave of sentiment
that endanger confidence in the
Senate. That is the kind OF con.
servatism that the Constitution
contcmplates and that has often
been Of value to the country. 1t
is the men who represent political
machine or a combination of capi>
tai or some individual or corporate
interest that feel secure in defying
public opinion.
If Senators were elected directly
by popular vote in each State,
some of these men might still hold
their places, through their CONS
mand of the machine or by similar
influences, but there are some Of
them who would certainly be re-
tired the first time their constituents
got chance at them Still, it is a
mistake to suppose that Senators
generally are Indifferent to what
they suppose to be the popular
sentiment of their States. There
is quite as large a proportion Of
demagogues and trimmers in the
Senate as in the House. Thu
trouble is that after the people
have elected a Legislature and the
Legislature has elected Senator
has got settled in his place, pnblic
opinion has moved on two or three
years in advance of him, while he
is still threshing ont the issues of
his original campaign.
Ic this way it has often hap-
pened that tie Senate has proved
more narrowly ard bitterly parti~
san than the House, still fighting
over issues that the people and
their Immediate representative
had already passed upon There
are soule Senators now who think
they are respecting the wishes OF
their constituents in advocating
tree silver, ob'igious. Of the fac,
that since they were elected this
cr.z has l.receptibiy abaied.
