CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
The FIeotIon of senatora.

From the Louisville Courier-J Journal.
IL Happens that while the question of
so amending the Federal ConstitIon as to
provide that United States Senators
shall be elected by popular vote Is under
discussion In Congress, the state OF Ken
tucky Is ahording an obj ect lesson on the
same subject. The passage OF resolution
by our State House OF representatives
by unanimous vote, favoring the election
of senators by vote OF the people would
not have been possible, In all probability,
but for the effect Of this object lesson.
There are many objections to the plan Of
the constitution for electIng senators by
State Legislatures. II is due to the fran
ers Of the Constitution to say that II
worked we'll for time. IL WAS impossi-
BILE for them to anticipate the changed
conditions that would prevail hundred
years after their work was done,
bat they expected changes aud made
provisions for amendments when the
need Of them should be pretty generally
felt. II Is undoubtedly true that many
Of the senators hold their seats as the
result of bribery, and TO this bribery
various combinations have contributed.
Bat IL Is not so certain that the election
of Senators by the people would put an
end to bribery. It Is generally impossible.
OF course. to buy q whole state, but 1t Is
often possible to buy votes enough TO
change the result OF an election. I'M
questionably, however, the present
method Of choosing senators furnishes
temptations and opportunities for
bribery which an ELECTION by the people
would not. Bribery will probably con-
tlnue until the psople resolve to put an
end to II aud 60 about the work In
earnest. But It is safe to say that an
election OF senators by the people would
reduce the number OF seats now held by
purchase. Even on this point OF view,
therefore, the change Is highly desirable.

A Burst ofLoyaIty.

From the Washington Post.
The Canadian Parliament took occasion
last week TO display its loyalty to the
British Crown, and, at the same time, to
manifest a desire to live in peace and
amity With the United States.
But II Is not true that no annexation
sentiment OF any considerable strength
exists In Canada. although such a state 20
ment was made during the debate In
Parliament last week. II was also
stated that "from Halifax TO Vancouver
there was not a single constituency In
which. II the policy of annexation
we're advocated upon the hustings, the
result would not be an overwhelming
defeat Of the candidate advocating that
policy" In spite OF this, 1t Is
well known that there are many
Canadians, including men OF learning
and influence, who not only desires an
nexatlon, but believe It will, In good
time be accomplished. Ou this side OF
the border thers Is no wish 10 hasten
that contamination. Our people know
that the Dominion Is heavily In debt and
that it has troublesome problems on
hand At present we are getting greater
advantages from Canada as a neighbor
than we could possibly derive from her
as a member Of the family. When she
gets ready to join the great Republic her
request for admission will receive re
spectful attention. But she need not
hurry on that account. IL ia enough for
the present-ani will suffice for a long
time to come-thst swarms Of her most
enterprising citizens continue to annex
themselves by Immigration. More than
1, 800. 900 OF our people are Canadian
immigrants aud their children.

ute and 35 seconds Of rather lively fight
ing.
1t was several minutes before he realized
what had happened TO him, and Bitz
walked over to his corner and shook him
by tho hand. Fitz also shook hands with
Quinn and tho seconds in Peters corner.
Barring tho slight bleeding Of the nos
trils, occasioned by the left hand jab of
Maher, the Cornish man showed no marks
Of injury and appeared as fresh as at the
opening Of hostilities. Maher showed no
signs OF punishment, except slight break
in the skin over his jaw, just above the
point of the left chin, where Fitzsimmons'
master stroke had landed
"Gentlemenv' yelled Julian after the
decision was made by the referee, Mr..
Fitzsimmons has now worked his way up
to the top and is champion Of the world.
He Is now ready at any time and place to
defond his title against any man in the
world"
After the fight Maher said;
"He hit me good and hard, and that Is
all there Is TO IT. heard the referee count
ing and heard the men in my corner call
ing mo to rise, but could not rise Whom
1 knew anything at all, was in my cor

ering the brilliant victory he had won.

punch, " he said, "but did not reach him
hard enough There never was minute
