1t has now been demonstrated that
the senate is the weakest and most dan.
gerous feature in the federal system.
The trainers OF the constitution regarded
1T as most meritorious device. Its con-
Stitution was supposed to be their
safest and best CT mproniise. 1t was to
be conservative check upoh. the possi-
BILE excesses OF the popular ranch of
congress, and a defence of the new de-
mocracv against autocratic or monarch
iai tendencies on the part IF the presi-
dent. 1t had not existed eighty years
before 1t proved that one part of its sup
posed mission was a failure. 1t was not
check, but a menace, to the executive.
Now, at the beginning OF the second CEN
fury, it abundantly proves that excuses
are to be expected from it rather than
from the house of representatives.
While the country has been growing in
intelligence, the senate has been becom-
ing radical, communistic, dangerous. Of
the lightweight members who now COM
pose it, sixty-two represent states Gre
ated by the federal government. Two
more than halt of the senator's came
from the far West and the South-the
sections now in alliance on monetary
questions, the sections in which the
populists are powerful, and in some in.
stances dominant. But these states
elect only 1877 representatives; while
the more populous, the richer. and the
more intelligent states elect 219 men,
bers. The admission of new states, with
their shifting, restless, uncertain, and
speculative people, has increased the
number of senator's who represent thinly
settled parts of the country, that have
temporary advantage to gain from
measures oflegislation that weigh heavily
upon the settled and conservative Sec
tions, disturb their trade. and threaten
both their accumulated wealth and their
active capital.
1t is probable that the senators who
have been revolutionizing the methods
of procedure in the senate by preventing
it from action, by making it an obstacle
i lsteai of an aid to intelligent legisla-
ton, do not represent their constituents.
1t nevertheless remains true that when
ever dangerous radicalism gains tempo
rary power i'll this couutry-and proba-
bly, its gain will always be temporary
it will be more numerously represented
in the senate than in the house; and so
long as its present constitution is con-
so long as machine politics
triumph, so long as the presidents
power of appointment is claimed by
3 majors as their right, so long as rich
men buy seats of legislatures, and small
politicians acquire positions by the art
Of manipulation. We shall often see
helpless senate, at war with the presi-
dent, and hostile to the real welfare of
The Whole country; for no state or Sec
ton, however considerable, can gain a
true advantage at the expense Of the
states that have by long settlement, by
position, and by other natural advanta-
yes gathered the larger part of the
wealth of the iand.-[Harpers " eekIy.
