Der. .ocracy must always stand for Its
time honored principles. Republicanism
must stand for its well known doctrines.
These are not, however, the only ques-
tons upon which pa rites may speak.
Any subject of public interest upon winch
legislation is necessary or desired may
become the subject of party action when
a ma jority of he people so decree; but to
ask q party TO take up a moralsor an
economic or a financial reform before it
can reasonably be expected that the people
Will support at the polls the party carry
ing tiie reform, is to ask party TO commit
suicide.
How, then, can any progress be made;
how can any reform get recognition IN
politics? BY education ard agitation out
side OF party action.
If the energy and money used by reform
parties in building and working party
machines were spent In propagating the
doctrines for which the parties were or
ganized, the mass OF voters might be so
permeated with these ideas that party
action would be spontaneous and successful.
Those who withhold their votes and
withdraw their influence from the conSer-
vative forces of political action, III vain
attempt to enthrone single and as yet
untried ard unaccepted principle, do-lor
the time being -abdicate the throne OF pop
ular government over which the flag floats.

The chief objection TO the proposed con-
Committee on Privileges and Elections,
which provides for the election OF Senators
10y the direct vote Of the people, will come
from the Senate itself, especially from
those members OF the body who, either
through their wealth or other means, are
able to influence the legislatures. The
fact that majority Of the committee
named found no difficulty in persuading
themselves 10 agree to the amendment, and
made q very strong and convincing report
in support Of it. shows, of course, that
there are some who defer 10 public senti-
ment, but it is almost foregone conclu-
sion that two-thirds vote for the bill
cannot bc obtained i'll the Senate at this
time.

given in the amendment, of which sena-
tor Chandler has given notice. In this

Election of Senators.

tertained for a moment. As for the postmas-
tiers and collectors, that il is simply piece
of the New Hampshire Senator's charac-
teristic sarcasm.
BY degrees the feeling that the interests
of the people would be better served and
the dignity Of Senatorial elections upheld
by the proposed method has been gaining
ground, and the more recent experience OF
Delaware and Kentucky has attracted ad-
ditional attention TO tie desirability OF
change. Especially has the disgraceful his
tory OF tie contest in kentucky completely
Disguised the people, and with but few eX-
ceptionS the newspapers OF the country
have given expression 10 this sentiment.
If the question could be submitted to vote
of the people there is no doubt OF an over
whelming ma jority in favor of the change.
In some States the people have prac-
tically taken the matter into their own
hands by exacting pledges from the can
didates for the legislature TO vote for Il
certain man for Senator. This, however,
MISREPRESENTATION though,
OF course effective as far as I gees. If,
therefore, the Senate exhibits disposition
to ignore public sentiment campaign OF
education ought 10 be instituted with

OF misery. which, from sheer desperation
of those that have to bear it, only too
often turns to vice and crime.
Even here in Washington, where these
condit ions are not as hideously pro-

enough of wrctchedness TO call for the ut

ART AND ARTISTS.

1t is fact PAINFULLY apparent to artists
and an art-loving public that Washington
Is so sadly in need OF gallery for the
satisfactory exhibition of pictures.
Flschers and Neerhoff's have the adj
vantage of being "down-town,'' but they
are so small and "stuffy' that if picture
is OF more than ordinary size you are
forcad TO forget tie beauties OF the en-
semble and inliHigt only in counting brush-
marks ana Heaps OF paint effect. Heit-
muller's is Ipore generous as 10 dinen-
sions, but here one is forced To accept
the artificiaRlight and the picture loses
It's color.
The main gallery at the Corcoran is an
ideal exhibition room, and the Society
OF Washington Artists should make an
attempt TO lease it, for exhibition purposes
after the present collection is moved to
the new building on New York avenue
If this could not be accomplished, the
top floor of some good business building
might be reasonably converted into a
hall Tor meetings and exhibitions.
This change would take the pictures
out OF the hands of the dealers, which
are used more or less as a means of adj
vertising, and bring the artist in touch
with the purchaser.
Atall events let us have something better
