They have and can have no independent
advice TO give to the ADMINISTRATION.
They are virtually the Presidents men.
The various secretaries have no power
OF originating policies and presenting
and defending the same before Congress;
nor have the people any check upon
Objectionable cabinet officers. IL is with
in the power, and unfortunately within
the practice, Of American Presidents 10
keep In Office at the head OF important
cabinet departments men whom four
fifths Of the American people would join
In ejectiug from their places. The abuse
which has arisen In this respect under
our Constitution is serious and deep
seated.
"As to the Senate Of the United States,
there is a great and radical error IL the
Constitution OF the body In that the
members are chosen By the States. as II
were in their official capacities, instead
Of by the people The Senators are
elected by the legislatures Of the several
States. The manner Of senatorial cleo
tions has in many instances become cor
rupt and disgraccful to the extent OF I'LL
ing the Senate Hall Of the United States
with men far below the grade Of states
man.
But the more crying evil does not lie
in the dangerous method employed in
senatorial elections, but rather i'm the
fact that all the States. great and small.
are, under our Constitution, made equal
In the upper House OF Congress. Rhode
Island and Delaware have two Senators
each, and so have New York. Ohio and
Texas. The system is undemocratic
unrepu5lican. IL IS against the genius

the doctrines Of the Declaration OF In.
dependence. The Senators instead OF
being chosen by the people Of Senatorial
districts, laid OF according to area and
population, and with little or no regard
legislatures Of the different States, two
for each, without regard to their mag
nitude and importance. The Senate Of
the United States Is, therefore. not a
representative body. IL oTends the
spirit and principle Of popular govern
ment and If we mistake not the syeten
which now prevails under the Consti
tuition will not stand the ordeal Of pub
lie opinion in the times to come.
'As to the House OF Representatives
the system Of election is sufficiently pop
ular and equitable The error in thii
respect is the too frequent recurrence o
Congressional elections Three years
instead of two. should be the minimum
for the repetition Of those partisan agita
tions which now biennially sweep tn
country To the distraction of industrial
enterprises, the confusion of all art
and progress, the enlightenment OF tn

A CRITICISM.

The following criticism al the Con-
stitution and congressional system of
the United States is BY that wcll-known
historian John Clark Ridpath. and are
full of wisdom aud sound sense and II
the suggestions he makes were favorably
acted upon many of the evils which
ariict this nation Of people and which
have grown out Of the existing order Of
things complained OF would be removed:
1T is a theme OF the greatest impor-
lance. now that more than century of
time has elapsed since the adoption Of
the Constitution. 10 inquire into its eifec-
tiveness. and more particularly TO note
its defects Ia practical application as
the Fundamental laws of the American
people. Among the latter may be notic
ed first of all che too extensive power
and domination of the President. A
President OF the United States. once
elected and inaugurated, become for
the time more powerful ruler, more
absolute monarch. We might say. than is
the occupant OF any OF the enlightened
thrones Of Europe IL rs clear in the
light of the retrospect that the trainers
OF the Constitution did not intend that
the President should be temporary
sovereign la the sense that he has be-
come in practice. A second evil relates
to the same Office. and this pertains TO
the manner OF the Pr sident's election.
The will OF the people is not fairly and
well expressed by the cumbrous inters
vening electoral college provided for In
the Constitution. The Presidential cleo
ton In the United Scates is not sufl-
cicntly popular and direct. The choice
Of the chief magistrate should be like
every other function Of the government
of the people. for the people and by
the pcople--according to the aphorism
Of Lincoln. This II cannot be so Iong
AS the complicated and machine-like
electoral college is interposed as the
agent and organ Of the quadrennial
election.
I'm the third place. IL is clear in the
retrospect that the fathers erred in TX
ing the term Of the Presidency at four
instead Of SIX OF seven years. The cx-
tension of the term 10 the latter period
should Of course imply ineligibility 70

pie an administration totally free from

national government than its CONVEX

Serious Accident Attending Baptismal
Rites.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1l.-An accident
which miraculously escaped being a
fatality occurred in connection with an
outdoor religious service this afternoon.
An independent church, the cardinal
principle of which is the belief that the
Anglo-Saxon race ia one OF the lost 10
tribes OF Israel, has been founded by
Rev. Mr. Allen, who has held revival
services. eliminating today in public
baptism OF converts in the waters OF the
bay. The announcement of the Cere.
mony attracted an immense crowd to
North beach. Several hundred people
were on the Taylor street wharf, and $50
were standing on broad stairway lead
ing down to the wharf. The
worm eaten timoers of the old
structure gave way in the midst
OF the Wholesale baptism. precipitating
the people from II to 20 ieet. according
to their location. Fortunately the tide
was out, 60 instead OF falling into the
water, the spectators tumbled into the
slimy mud. No one was killed, but as
the people were piled five deep there
were many serious bruises and several
broken limbs. The ,patro! wagon was
runx in and three loads of injured taken
to the receiving hospital. The accident
caused no cessation of the service, AMI
six revivalists continued to assist Mr..

Up on the beach by the storm near Fish-

Everything which has been thrown up
