Editor Free Press. While the United
States Senate is as far as ever from obeying
the popular will, aud as arrogantly neglect
full of its plain duty to the people, we SIM
ply stultify ourselves by deDouncing them
further; for there is no longer any hope oil
impressing them by that means. The time
has come TO take whatever action may De
in our power to reform so refractory body.
The election of Senators by the direct vote
of the people is the most practical means OF
securing such reform and it has been IN
dorsed by Democratic House. The change
can only effect constitutional amendment.
No such amendment will ever be submitted
to the people if the Senate itself must first
pass upon it. The submission must there
fore come through a convention called by
Congress upon the demand OF the Legisla-
lures of two. thirds of the States as required
by the Constitution. The Democratic mi
nority in our Legislature cannot hope to
accomplish much in the way Of making
laws; but they can make strong fight in
favor of this great reform. If they should
not succeed in securing the necessary action
on the part of the Legislature, they could
at eas. compel the Republicans to 60 on
record as opposed to a measure which is not
only in the line of progress and free govern
ment but whose popularity is increasing
every day Let the matter be brought to
the attention. of our own representatives in
an authoritative manner; and let the Dem
ocratic party take the first tep toward re-
gaining its supremacy in the State by advo-
eating this great and popular reform honest
estly and vigorously. DEMOCRAT.

A bill was introduced in the House OF
Delegates last Saturday providing that all
death sentences be executed by electrocution
privately in the State prison. The senti-
ment for private execution has grown, and
il is now believed that the friends OF the
move will be successful in securing the pas
sage of some kind Of law to have legal
executions private.
A resolution Of much Importance has been
introduced and adopted in the House pro-
vidiug for the furnishing of school books
free when found necessary for the success
full carrying on Of schools.
A petition from the Teachers Institute,
Of Jefferson county, was presented by Mr..
cambridge, asking that Maury's Biographies
be substituted for Mitchel's, and Swinton's
histories for Holiness.
The school-b book publishers have full
lobby there hard at work, aud as the school
book contract is to be let for five years they
are leaving no stone unturned in their eff
forts. The fight is a strong one, and 1t APP
pears that there may be a number of changes
made in the books now in use in the free
schools of the State. The book concerns
have the people in their power and fix their
price for school books, and the State COM
pels the parents to buy them. This has
proved very oppressive in many instances
specially among the poorer classes. The
people want relief from this monopoly, and
their demand upon this Legislature is grow
ing stronger daily. Money may play an
important part in the matter before the end
is reached.

COMING OF THE WILD WEST.
seven Hundred People I'm the Big
Aggregation.

Buffalo Bill and the Wild West viii be
seen for the first time in Savannah next
Thursday afternoon and night at the Boil
ton Street Base Ball park. Maj. John NJ.
Burke, general manager Of the show, is
in the city. arranging for It's appearance.
Mai. Burke, like Buffalo Bill. has had
something Of an experience in Indian life.
He was at Pine Ridge during the entire
trouble there. and probably did more than
any other civilian at the agency in the
interest Of peace and a speedy settle
ment OF the war. Indeed, he was the CEN
trail figure at Pine Ridge among the civil
ians, and even among the officials was a
much deferred-to character Of acknowi-
edged power with the troubled children Of
the hills and plains. He was at the famous
conference in the OgaIalla camp. when
negotiating for the Indians surrender with
capt. Lee, and from his experiences there
and elsWhere in Indian life he has a func
of incident to draw upon that makes him
a most entertaining talker.
Mai. Burke is Of large stature and under
the white brim Of his broad sOmbrero
beams a countenance intelligent and ge-
MAI. lie IS close personal friend of Buff
falo Bill, and is his special represen native.
Few people have any idea of what the
VIA West Is. good many look upon ii
as sort OF miniature circus but when IL
Is known that il comprises an aggregation
OF 400 people, and its exhibition field alone
requires nve acres, some idea of its eX-
tent may be had. The show is given in
an open field, surrounded on three sides by
canYas covered grand stands which seat
1GOO people. Col. W. +. Cody, who Is known
10 the world as Buffalo Bill, Is the head
OF the show, and with him is associated
the veteran Snowman, Nate Salisbury.
The exhibition is essentially a display
OF craftsmanship, although the incidental
features are of the highest possible char
acter; But horse and rider make the wild
west entertainment in chief, whether
IN the stately and impressive military COM
bination movements, in which man and
animal become the unit in purpose and
achievement: in the thrilling feats of the
Of equestrianism involving absolute mas
terry OF their mounts and entire assurance
OF their own nerve, strength and agility;
or in the supreme demonstration of all
cessful backing of the bucking cow-pony-
the horsemen who ride for Buffalo Bill
carry all the degrees of pastmastership.
In brief, the miniature wild West" Of
spirit and doings of a highly heroic ele-
ment among Americans, an element
whose courage, tenacity and enterprise,
as an Inheritance, will distinguish the
Gus, but perhaps not less trying times Of
the years 10 come, when the west shall
gress.
of course Col Cody is the central figure
IN the whole business Age is handicap
ping him in some ways, but he can shoot
and ride with many of the best of younger
masters in those lines. Altogether his
essential elements Of a liberal education in
a considerable chunk of American history
is pretty well founded. II is safe to say
that there are not many Savannahians
never been nearer to Savannah than
Richmond and New Orleans.
