THE DIsTRUsT or LEGISLATIVE
KODIES

In his address before the American Bar
Association at Saratoga, during the month
OF August, Mr.. Moorhed Storey, of Bos-
ton, severely arraigned the legislative bod
les Of the country. He declared that
from the most august legislative body
In the country, the Senate Of the United
States, down TO the Alderman OF New
York. the citizen toe often distrusts fears
and is ashamed OF his representatives,.
The distrusting. fearing and being
ashamed OF their representatives by citi-
zens would be bad enough. but the serious
evil in our case Is that our citizens nave
only too much reason II dstrust, rear
and be ashamed Of their representatives,.
II is needless TO comment in this connec-
ton upon the Senate of the United States.
A reputable member OF that body has now
come to be the exception. The rule is
that money is used to elect a majority Of
a state Legislature (and our experience
last fall teaches us how little money Is
required for this). and. that majority
being secured, senator Is elected VINO.
being the creature of a corrupt use OF
money, becomes at once the tool Of money
combinations. and gives his vote always
for such measures as those money COM
binations desire for fleeing the rest Of
the American people.
We have no difficulty in saying that
the people of the United States must
guard themselves against this peril or
they will lose their liberties and every
honorable characteristic that they have.
The change Of the Constitution Of the
United States so that senator's shall be
elected by direct vote Of the people is
the most important matter that is now
before the American people for their con-
sideration. Every member of Congress to
be elected this fall ought to be required
to pledge himself TO use his best en-
deavOrs to secure this change. and no man
should be voted for who will not make
that pledge.
One of our chief reasons for wanting
to see General Fitz. Lee so upon the
stump is that he may press this matter
upon public attention. He has been the
victim of the present method of electing
senators; he can tell the people all about
the way he was flim-flammed out of the
election and he is the man to rouse them
up 10 demanding that the change shall
be made.

LOUIsvIILE's INVITATION TO THE
GKAND ARMY

Mr.. Henry Watterson went to the
meeting OF the Grand Army OF the Re
public at Pittsburg. and. on Wednesday
last. made a speech to IL in the way Of
an appeal to II to hold its next annual
meeting at Louisville, Ky. The argu-
ment of the speech was that we are
a reunited country that the Confederate
soldier is ready and eager to fraternize
with the Union soldier. that Louisville
is a Confederate city. and that If the
Grand Army will hold its next session
there II will find out that all Mr.. Wat
terson says Of the Confederate soldier
is true.
We have always understood that Mr..
Watterson took the side of the Confed-
eracy during the war. and consequently
what We are about to say Of his speech
Is 10 be considered exclusively as the
remarks Of one Confederate about the
action OF another Confederate. We must
frankly say that there are things in Mr..
Wattersons speech which we do not like
while there are others which have our
heartiest accord
1t may seem ungracious to say so. yet
We must candidly say, that elegant in
composition as IL is. we do not like the
following:
Il have come here to-day-an undoubt-
ing American-to lay at the feet of Amer
lean manhood the tribute of respectfll
homage. nave come-a willing Wit
ness-to bear testimony TO the genius Of
American soldiership. | have come win

dwell on what was once the neither side
OF the line. but whose hearts beat in
ready response 10 your hearts and who
bid me tell you they want to see YOU
"candor compels me 10 say that there
was a time when they did not want IN
see you. There was a time when-without
any invitation whatever-either written
or verbai-without so much as a sug-
gestlon OF welcome-you insisted mon
giving us the honor OF your company
and, as II turned out. when we We're hnf

herself and that she now has SIX children

permit the school children TO dine in COM

eXperience-who however, sees difficulties
in the proposed reform. writes US: Il
think that the majority of teachers whose
homes are within a reasonable distance,
would be better In mind and body for 50

not be slow to perceive that dinner and

much comfort as school and dinner
now end az 4.
