Popular Election OF Senators.

The house has passed, by the neces-
sary majority, bill providing for the
election of United States senators By
the people. 1t has become dangerous
to predict what the senate will DO with
any bill now, and wonld be especially go
OF one SO nearly concerning its own eX-
lstence. But the probability is that,
sooner or later, the bill will pass both
houses and be adopted by a sufficient
number of states to add it as an amend
ment to the constitution. The fact is
that the system of having senators cleo
ted by the legislature instead of BY the
people is one OF those devices to pro-
tect the people against themselves, one
] of those introductions of complicated
machinery into our political system,
that have entirely failed of their orig
lnal purpose. The electoral college Is
one of these inventions that ought to
90 to the junk shop. The legislative
election of senators is another.
The original idea was that the senator
representing the state as state, rather
than tie people of the state. The SEN
ate itself is concession to the jelousy
of the smaller states, which would not
surrender their rights to equal position
with their larger sisters. And so this
house, representing the state directly,
was to be chosen by the representative
body of the state, as political entity,
the legislature. The demands of party
politics were not foreseen; and il was
supposed that the upper house would
be body of prominent citizens elected
IN an entirely different way and stand
ing on an entirely different footing from
popularity chosen members ofthe house.
We know how this notion has met
with Disappointment. Not only are SEN
atorship the prize of party polite, but,
by diminishing the electorate, room
has been made for grave abuse. It is
useless to deny the notorious fact that
senatorship has been bought by wealthy
men and held as their property. 1t is
also palpabIe that the senate has come
to be less in touch with the people than
1t once was; more aggressive; more te-
nacious of privileges; callous to public
scorn or rebuke. A change that makes
it more responsive will be far the bet
ter. Those who imagine that the elect
ion OF popular votes will complete great
reform are destined to Disappointment.
1t Will make little actual difference, but
1t will conform our system to the fact
about Us, hold TO raise the character Of
Legislature by removing certain tempt
ations from their view, and add a little
direct responsibility to the senatorial
offices. The theory of the proposed
change is all right, and We hope to see
it adopted. But afterwards, as before,
the people of each state will be repre-
sented by just such person in the SEN
ate as they deserve to be. Self govern
ment is only scheme of averages, and
the senate will not rise above the level
of the popular character.-Pioncer

The Cnsh Davis Boom.

Louisville Couricr-Journal:
Among the men who have increased
in reputation by reason of the recent in
surrection, Senator Cuehman X. Davis
of Minnesota stands conspicuous His
response to the request to support the
Kyle resolution was so decided and firm
on the side Of law and order, so earnest
in its warnin" against resistance to the
government that it received the APP
proval of law-abiding citizens all over
the country, and added immensely to
the reputation of its author.
When a public man attracts the favor
able attention of the country, a pro-
position to nominate him for the presi-
dency is pretty certain to come from
some source, Even when the man is
ineligible, as sometimes happens, en-
rhn-iastir admirers forget or ignore the
fact, and reccomend him any how. SEN
ator Davis, however is eligible, being a
a native of New York and fifty-fve
wears ofage. lie has already been men
toned in number of newspapers az a
good man for the Republican nominal
ton in 1896. The Philadelphia Bulletin
thinks that if Western man is desired
Davis may be the man. The Buffalo
Express halls him as the man Of the
hour in the senate. These are Republi-
can papers. The Philadelphia Times
which is Democratic, thinks that he has
made himself the ideal Republican can
lidate for 1896. Similar expressions
have appeared in other newspapers.
These expressions derive additional
significance from the fact that IN i'm
portant element in the Republican party
is in waiting attitude with respect to q
presidential candidate.

French Politeness.

During the recent meeting Of the
French and English ships ut New York.
the following story, illustrative of Old
time marine manners, was related,
strangely enough. by Il French officer:
An English admiral who was once Wis.

entering the officers quarters. When
he came out again, he was aStoniShcd

When Baby Put On Pants.

It's day we all remember. and its scene Of
solemn state
still casts CLEAN OF sadness, when al home
we cOnCregate;
For baby form is missing and no childish
prattle grants
It's music sweet, refreshing, since the baby
put on pants.
Twas Transformation, truly. and it marked
an epoch grave.
1t took away dear babyland and boyhood
to us gave;
The change could be discovered with the
slightest kind of glance
At the pride-fushed face OF baby-that day
he put on pants.
1t closed the doors OF lullaby and opened
wide the gate
That leads from arms Of mother TO the hill
of mans estate:
The light OF dawnfng future cross the fra
grant pathway slants
OF baby. and enthralls him-on the day he
put on pants.

French Submarine Boats.

Naval science seems 70 be going ahead
about as fast as the ron.ancers can get
on in their imaginingS. Tie French,
for instance are doing with submarine
boats almost more than their fiction
writers have managed to get into th2iI
books. A new submarine boat has just
been launched and sent SCulling about
under water which contains Il crew Of
twelve men. Hitherto the number Of
men accommodated in tn $50 under
water crafts has seldom if ever gone
above i've. This boat is in the shape Of
Il fish, and ii carries 4 tOrpelO at its
head. How it discharges the torpedo
forward without coming to grief itself
is not explained. but this nay lie a
state secret Everything on board is
worked by electricity.

Though a week has not yet elapsed
since the schedule referring to wool
and WOODEN manufactures passed the
United States Senate Committee, and
has yet to be considered by the House
of Representatives, and be referred
to congress before it becomes a law.
the beneficial effects on our trades are
already distinctly visible. The mar
ket for the raw material, which was
depressed by the failure in the Brad
ford district at the end of the last series
of colonial wool sale. has exhibited
more buoyant tone and fair business
has been done at prices which show a
slight advance on the rates then ruling.
In the manufacturing district also
more hopeful feeling now exists. and
the mistrust which always follows the
announcement of commercial failure is

TWELVE HOURS SAVED BETWEEN COLORADO
AND NEW YORK CITY.

TWELVE HOURS SAVED BETWEEN COLORADO
AND NEW YORK CITY.
The Missouri Pacific railway on April
80, 1894, placed in effect a new schedule
for its "Fast Mail" train between Denver,
Colorado Springs and Pueblo, and Kansas
City and st. Louis; leaving Denver at 500
p. m, Colorado Springs at 5:25 p. M,
and Pueblo at 700 p. M, and arriving at
Kansas City at 5:45 p. m, st. Louis at
6:55 a. NJ, and Chicago at 500 a. M, with
a direct connection over all trunk lines
for New York City, Boston, Philadelphia
and Washington, D. G., and all inter
mediate points.
This will enab passengers from Colo
RADIO interior points to make direct
connection with the Missouri Pacific 'Fast
MALI at Pueblo, by taking D. & R. g.,
train No. 4, thereby saving twelve hours
time on the eastbound trip, and enabling
them to avoid disagreeable lay-over,
with the advantage of only one change of
cars between Colorado and New York
City, or other eastern points, which is
made in Union Depot.
Pullman Buffet Sleeping Cars, and
Free Reclining Chair Cars of the latest
design. All trains heated with steam, (no
danger of ire), and. lighted with the
famous Pintsch gas light.
