SOME STARTLING FIGURES.

The passage Of n resolution through tire
Kentucky House of Delegates by unaA-
imous vote calling upon Congress to
adopt an amen lment to tho Constitution
OF tho United States which shall cabse
United States senators TO be elected by
the direct vote Of the people. Is a power
ful testimonial to the dissatisfaction OF
fhe people with the United States Son
ate. II probably indicates that we are
not FAR distant from the day when that
amendment will be adopted.
But the course which the United states
Senate has pursued in the past few
years is causing men TO ask themselves
another and an equally important ques-
ton. and that is should each state have
two senator's and two only. or should not
the senators represent population, as tho
members OF the House do?
The idea upon which the Constitution
was framed was that the senator's should
represent the States as entities. while the
representatives represented the peoplc d.
rectIy and. therefore. that each State
should stand in the Senate upon foot
ING Of perfect equality with every other
state But our experience with that sys-
TEN has satisfied the country il is failure
that should be given up. If We depart
from il. then, and have senator's elected by
direct vote Of the people, do they not
become the direct representatives OF the
people. and as much 50 as the members
of the lower house? and if they do be-
come representatives of the people should
they not be apportioned according to
population?
We confess it is very hard to answer
the argument and yet while we are most
cordially in favor Of having senators
elected by the people we are not prepared
TO assent TO any change Of the represep-
ton in the Senate.
But recent experience has certainly
operated powerfully towards drawing the
public mind towards basing senatorial
representation upon population. The
senators who to-day represent the CEN
trail part of the country, which contains
the enterprises. the capital. the thrift
and the progress which make the cOun-
try are entirely prepared to enact such
legislation as the dreadful condition OF
the country cries aloud for. But here
are the outlying silver camps with their
disproportionate representation in the Sen
ate baking all needed legislation and
keeping the whole nation in an uproar Of
tumult. Think of Utah. Montana, Wyo-
ming. Colorado, Washington, Idaho,
North Dakota. South Dakota, Nevada
casting eighteen votes in the Senate. while
they have altogether a population that
entities all OF them together to but twelve
conservatives. while the State of New
York. with a population that entities her
TO thirty-four representatives, can cast
but two votes In the Senate.
The population Of these States is as

The question now comes up. who has
made the best use of Ben Bolt'-Du
Maurier or the Detroit Tribune? Here
is the Tribune's use OF the song:
Oh. John sherman remembers that long
ago bolt. and his boom that was done up
so brown; how they fooled the old man
with a pledge of support. and then on
his neck threw him down. In the old
