ELECTING SENATORS.
The Question of Election by a Direct Vote of
the People.

Inc Vues1on OF Election by q Direct Vote of
the People.
1t appears from a resolution introduced in
the Senate yesterday as if the debate on the
subject of the election OF Senators by a direct
vote of the people was to be renewed at this
extra session Of the Senate. Mr. Hoar intro
duced resolution sntagonistic to that propo-
sition, and gave notice that as soon a. conve-
nient after tomorrow he would address the
Senate on the resolution.
The resolution asserts that it is inexpedient
that the resolution sent to the Senate by the
House during the last Congress should be
adopted, for such method of election would
essentially change the character Of the Senate
as conceived by the convention that formed
the Constitution and the people who adopted
it II would, the resolution continues. transfer
the selection of Senators from the Legislatures
Entrusted with all Legislative powers Of the
states to bodies having no other responsibility,
whose election cannot be regulated by law.
whose members vote by proxy, whose tenure of
Office Is for a single day. whose votes and pro-
ceedings arc not recorded and who act under
no personal responsibility. 1t requires the
substitution of pluralities for majorities trans
fers the seat of political power in great states
now distributed evenly over their territory. to
the great cities and masses Of populations; Gre
ates new temptation to fraud. and will give rise
to numerous election contests; will absolve the
larger states from the constitutional obligation
which secures equal representation of all states
in the Senate. by providing that state shall
be deprived Of that equality withoutit consent.
In conclusion the resolution says such a
method implies what the whole current of our
history shows to be untrue-that the Senate
has during the past century failed to meet the
just expectations of the people, and that the
state legislatures have proved themselves unfit
to be the repositories of the power of electing
Senators. The reasons which require this
change, if acted upon and carried to their logi-
cal result. will lead to the election by the di-
rect popular vote and by popular majorities of
the President and of the Judiciary and will COM
pei the placing of these elections under COM
plete national control. 1t will result in the
overthrow of the whole scheme of the Senate
and. in the end, of the whole scheme of the
national Constitution as designed and estab-
lished by its trainers and the people who
adopted it.

A DEMAND FOR SUFFRAGE.
Two-Thirds Of the Adults in Austria With
out It.


out 1t.
DR.. Adler. the most conspicuous socialist
agitator in Vienna, delivered an address in favor
Of universal suffrage before . meeting Of 1000
workmen last evening. Two-thirds Of the adult
males in Austria, he said, had no votes. Only
such semi-barbarous countries as Russia and
Spain were disgraced BY such inequality of citi-
zens before the law. Unless the government
took steps to right this wrong the suffrage
question was likely to find its solution in a
social catastrophe.
DR.. Enenbogen, lawyer, in addressing q
thousand factory operatives in Florisdorf, de-
scribed a. unprecedented the misery of the
Vienna poor during the last winter. Even now.
he said. 200 worklngmen in the city were
homeless. Many of them had left their fami-
lies to starve because they could not endure the
sight Of their suffering children.
Both meetings passed resolutions in favor Of
making May day demonstrations.
