iSr.dstreet's Report.

New York March 20.-Bradstreets to-
morrow Will say: General trade through
out the United States for the first quarter
of 1896 Is disappointing. The most favora-
BILE reports at this time are those which
declare the volume OF business only equal
to- and in a few instances I'm excess OF,
the like total "A year ago. The fact that
interior merchants are buying more free
ly In Missouri. Kansas. Oklahoma and
parts OF Nebraska constitutes almost the
only favorable announcement for the
week. In almost all other parts of the
country east of the Mississippi, stormy
weather has tended to check the volume
of business and restrict mercantile col
lections. which have now been exception
ally slow for more than n month. The un-
usually large number of business failures
taking place during the first quarter of
the current year promises to make
record. The total for the current week
throughout the country Is 300. or Is more
than last week; IS more than in the like
week in 1896; l0S more than the cores
ponding week in 1894 and 9s more than in
the third week OF March. 1898.

zona to sDtehood, there were only six

Washington, March 20-Senator
Mitchell of Oregon to-day reported to
the senate from the elections commit
tee the joint resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution, pro-
viding for the election of senators by
a direct vote of the people. The COM
mBttee says the accompanying report
has approached the subject OF the pro-
posed change in the method of electing
senators with full appreciation of the
gravity of@the subject and OF the Inn
portance of the public interest in
volved. The objections that are raised
to the proposed change are discussed
fully. The amendment, II is said, does
not in the slightest degree trench upon
the system upon which our govern
ment is founded.
One weighty and principal objection
ITO the present system OF electing sena-
tors. says the report, is that the power
and right of the individual voter are
hedged about and circumscribed: his
will Is manacled; he cannot vote for his
choice. 1t carries with 1t the implica-
ton that the people. the qualified vot-
ers, for some reason, are unfit for the
full exercise of the elective franchise
While IL is possible the inducements
of wealthy and unscrupulous aspirant
for senatorial honors may reach and
influence the majority of a small body
in the Legislature, such things would
be impossible We're the decision left TO
the great mass of the voters. Public
opinion, IL Is argued, demands the
change proposed; the demand is loud
and emphatic; pronounced as Il is i'm
peratfve; earnest as IL seems to be al
most unanimous among the great
masses of the people.
