Report Made ON tho Proposed Cons.1eu
tionAl Amendment For Reasons cos w
and Herewith Ecmmarfxed.
WAsHrNeToS, March21 The senate
committee on privileges and eiections
made q favorable report on the amend
ment to the constitution providing Tor
the election of United States senators
by q direct vote of the people. The
report is very voluminous. Among
other things it says:
I'm the Judgment of your COMMITTEES,
any movement that looks to the right OF
the people to be heard distinctly In the
election of senators can not but result
beneficially to all concerned. The
adoption of this proposed amendment
will, in the Judgment Of your commit
tee, bring the senate into more amicahle
relations with the people. It will re-
move prejudices now existing which
are rapidly becoming deeply and dan
gerously fastened upon the public
mind. It will invoke a spirit of mntual
forbearance and respect as between the
senate and the people, which, unfortu-
AdtCkys OOCS AoV III" CsAASe w 1850 -
gree that is desirable. It will restore
confidence It will tend to ele-
vate the character, advance the
dignity, increase the usefulness, ex-
tend the influence and justly magnify
the power of the senate. and at the
same time promote the welfare OF all
the people of the republic. The ten
dency of public opinion is to disparage
the senate and depreciate its dignity.
its usefulness, its integrity, its power.
If there is any cause for this tendency
in the public mind it should be re-
moved without delay.
Zone weighty and personal objection
to the present system OF electing sena-
tors by the legislatures of the respec-
tive states" the report continues. lis
that the power and right of the indi-
vidual voter are hedged about and
circumscribed: his will is manacled,
his volition paralyzed; he can not vote
for his choice"
The committee points out that the
material interests of the state suffer
by reason of protracted senatorial con-
tests that are of frequent occurrences.
Instances in New York, Oregon, Wash

In conclusion the committee says:
1.-THE people demand a voice in the
election of senator's, and such demand
in the Judgment of your committee,
should be respected. So whatever
may be said to the contrary, whatever
may be thought of the sanctity of the
| constitution as it stands, it must be
admitted by all that the people are be-
coming FESTIVE under restraints on the
rights of those entitled the constitu-

franchise. The movement of the peo-

THE BAYARD RESOLUTIONS

AS Adopted by the House of Representa-
WASHINGTON, March 21.-The follow
ing is the text of the resolutions re-
garding Ambassador Bayard, reported
foreign affairs, and which passed the
house:
WHEREAS, Thomas F. Bayard. ambassador
public speech delivered In Boston. England, on
August 2, 1895. as follows:
He (the president OF the United States)
stands in the midst OF strong. seH-con6dent
and oftentimes violent people-men who seek
to have their own way; and tell you plainly
that it takes real man to govern the people OF
the United States"
AND WHEREAS. Thomas F. Bayard, ambas-
sndor Of the United States to Great Britain,
said In a speech delivered OF Edinburgh. Scot
land. on November z, 1895. as follows:
I'm my own country I have witnessed the
Unsuitable growth OF that form of state So
cialism styled protection. which I believe
has done more to foster class legislation and
create inequality OF fortune. to corrupt public
life, to Danish men In independent mind and
character from tho public councils, to lower
the tone Of national representation,
blunt public console nee. create false
standards in the popular mind. divorce ethics
from politics. and place politics upon the low
single cause.
ut tthe said policy Of protection) has un-
hesitatingly allied itself with every policy
which tends to commercial isolation. danger
ously depletcs the treasury, and saps the pop
ular conscience by schemes Of corrupting
favor and largesso to special GLASSES whose
support is thereby attracted. Thus It hos done
30 much to throw legislation into the political
market. where jobbers and cha6erers take the
place Of statesmen" therefore DO It,
Resolced, That it is the sense OF the house of
representatives that Thomas F. Bayard an-
bassador Of the United Stats to Great Britain.
in publicly using tho language above
quoted. has committed an ofense against
diplomatic propriety and an abuse of tho
privileges Of his exalted position. which should
make him the representative Of tho whole
country and not OF any political party.
Such utterances are wholly Inconsistent
with that prudent. delicate and scrupulous
reserve which he. himself, while secretary
the United States. In one speech he affronts
the great body Of his countrymen who believe
in the policy OF protection. In the other speech
he ofendS all his countrymen who believe the
Americans are capable OF self-government.
Therefore. as the immediate representative of
the American people. and In their name, we
condemn and censure the said utterance OF
Thomas F. Bayard
Resofced, further. That in the opinion OF the
house of representatives public speeches by
our diplomatic or consular offlcers abroad
which display partisanship or which condemn
any political party or party policy or organize
ton OF citizens OF the United States are In
dereliction of the duty of such officers, impair
their usefulness as puclfc servants and dimin-
ish the confidence which they should and may
command at home and abroad.
