Especially interesting is Rufus Kings cor
roboratlve report as to the discussion touching
the composition OF the Federal Senate. The
proposition that the Senate should be chosen by
the House OF Representatives out OF persons
nominated by the State Legislatures be-
ing neGatiyed, Dickinson moved that the SEN
ators be appointed by the State Legislatures
for the reason that the mind as we'll as the body
of the several States ought to be represented in
the Federal legislature. Tho State LegIsla-
lures, he said. would choose men OF distinguished
talents as Senators. II was true that such men
would have a chance TO he chosen by the people
as members Of the House OF Representa-
uyes, but, failing Ia be thus selected. talents,
wealth, or family might recommend them to
the state Legislatures for appointment as United
states Senators. George Mason concurred with
Dickinson, and COntended that the old confed-
eracits were ruined by the Oyergrown power
and ambition Of some Of their members. I'VE
have agreed, " he said, 4" hat the national Gov
eminent shall have a negative on certain acts Of
the State Legislatures $50 far as these acts should
be adjudged unconstitutional; the danger now
Is that the national legislature will swallow up
the Legislatures Of the states. The protection
from this occurrence will be the securing TO the
State Legislatures the choice OF the Senators OF
the United States" The result was that Dick
tnsOn's motion was unanimously adopted.
IL will be remembered that the Congress OF
the Confederation was a unlcameral assembly,
In which there was an equality OF representation
as regarded the several States, each Of them
having but one vote. Many member Of the
Philadelphia Convention were in favor Of main
the same principle OF equality as regard
ed even the House OF Representatives. and.
when the present method OF appOrtiORment for
that body was adopted, the advocates OF equal
State rights made a arm and successful stand
Sith reference TO the senate. Ellsworth con
landed that unless the Convention Ae-
cepted the principle OF equal representa-
ton for the Senate, none OF the Eastern
States eIsept Massachusetts, would adopt the
Constitution. The large States. on the
othsr hand, would have RSThiPS 70 - ~ such

The Western college professors who have been

~clltities Will derive no comfort from the exhi-
billion of sound premises and cogent reasoning
In the book entitled The Sphere Of the state. by
FRANK SARGENT HOFFMAN. Professor OF Phi
losophy at Union College ,Putnams). The author
Of this work Is no %optimist; he does not believe
that the millennium has been reached; that the
existing state Of things represents the best Of all
possible worlds; far from being a rigorous adj
herent Of the school Of idtsez fdfre economists.
he Is quite ready 10 admit that the interposition
OF the State may be extended hereafter in new
as new conditions Of society arise.
But he holds that such extensions Of State in
reference must be made with caution. and
must never overlook the fact, which he deems
ncontrovertible, that the principle OF individual
must always lie In the future. as II
has always lain in the past. at the root Of civili-
zation. Both aspects OF his position may be
brought out by noting first what he maintains
70 be the true conception OF the State. and then,
by marking what lie considers the right rela-
lions Of the State, thus defined. to the ownership
and control OF property, to corporations. to
transportation and Ia taxation.

II appears that several days were spent in dis
cussin9 tho qualifications for the electors OF
Representatives. Gouverneur Morris proposed
that freeholdsrs only should be electors. Msdl-
son agreed with him, and 90 did Dickin-
son, although the latter was n man Of
pronounced democratic views. "Wb are all
safe" he said by trusting the owners Of the
soil; and Il WI not be unpopular 20 do 20. for
the freeholders are the more numerous class.
Not from freabolders. hat from those who are
not freeholders. free government has been en-
dangered." On the same side, Morris argued:
There cannot be an sristocracy Of free
holders II they all are electors. But when
a great and rich man can bring his poor
dependents to vote in our elections, then. unless
you establlsh,a property qualification, W. shall
have an sristpcracy. Limit the right Of suf-
frage TO freeholders. and It will not be unpopu-
lar, because nne-tenths OF the Inhabitants are
freeholders.", On the other hand. George Mason
Of Virginia cmtended that every one who IL of
full age and can give evidence of his common in
terest In the community should be an elector. It
is not freeholaers alone. he added. who feel this
common interest The father Of n family. al
