Cotton Fields. (P)

PITTsBURG, Pa, April 13.-The
LawrenCeville district, this city,
made another expectation of Hun
garians, Italians and Slavs, yester-
day, to cotton plantations in Texas.
The crowd numbered 200, which
makes 700 already sent from one
district alone, and is the third eX-
portatiOn from Lawrenceville in
three months. An agent is work
ing the neighborhood, and selecting
from foreigners who come in
drOves. He says that every morn
ing there are at least fifty waiting
for him to send them to work,
but only the best are sent. They
are shipped to all parts of Texas
and are fast taking the place Of
Negroes, as their labor is so cheap,
and the cotton growers find them,
better workers. Working men of
that end Of town take kindly to
the idea, and say they would con-
tribute to the fund and send all in
the city there.

Reform the Senate.

A great many Democratic pa
pers are calling for the abolition
of the Senate, because of the gen.
eral disgust caused by the action
of that body during the tariff
fight, but such talk is foolish.
The country is not likely to seri-
ously think of abolishing the Sc
nate, but what it will insist upon
is thorough change of the rules
which will enable it to do business
promptly and prevent filibuster-
ing. The Senate is really the
guardian of State sovereignty, and
in it each State is equal, and If
we were to do away with the Sc
nate, the government woald be
controlled by the large and pow
erful States, such as New York,
Pennsylvania, Mas q b u g ct is.
Ohio and Illinois. 1t is true that
there are bad men in the Senate,
who have assisted the trusts and
monopolies in heaping burdens
on the people, but it is for the
people themselves to get rid of
their unfaithful servants and re-
place them with men of integrity
and fidelity.
Instead of demanding the sboli-
ton of the Senate, the Democra-
tic and Republican press should
fight for its reformation, and
the first important step in that di-
rection is the adoption of q con-
stitutional amendment providing
for the election of Senators by a
popular vote. In this way the
Senate will be brought into closer
touch with the people, and it will
be difficult for trusts and large
corporations to pack it with their
agents. 1t is to be hoped when
Congress meets again next De
cember that Senator Hill will in
sist on the consideration of his re
solution to amend the rules st
that after a reasonable time hal
been allowed for debate q vot'
may be taken. and it is quite pro
bable, owing to the severe criti
cism to which the Senate has beer
subjected, that the rules govern
ing it will be modified. The Hous

by popular vote, and as the Who'll
