The Senate committee has reported
favorably the measure providing TO-
the election OF senators by direct v0t'
Of the people Of the states instead O
by the legislatures. 1t will necessitat'
an amendment to the constitution tx
bring this about, which requires TIN
consent of three-foufths of the states
so that even il the bill passes Congress
it will quite likely fail OF securing thi
consent. The popular election Of sen
ators is not new idea. 1t has beer
discussed for several years past. There
is good argument on either side of the
question. The advocates of the pop
ular system claim that it would make
the Senate a better representative
body of the people; would bring the
senators into closer touch with, and
more dependent upon, the sovereign
voters and hence more subservient to
their demands; that it would prevent
Legislative thimblerigging in the inter.
est of any candidate; that the legisla-
ture would be simply a making
body and that candidates for seats
therein, if satisfactory in all other re-
spccts, would not be liable to defeat
because they favored senatorial can
didatc whom the voters did not want,
from the confusion OF which issues
less competent. men would gain the
legislative seats. On the other hand
the conservatives say, let well enough
alone. Our Senate has been on the
whole creditable body throughout
its long history. To let the people
elect the senators would be only to
turn the choice over to a party con-
vention which is too often controlled
by a political boss. Whichever meth
cd prevails, we believe the Senate will
on the whole, continue representa-
tive body, or as nearly SO as its pecul-
lar constitution will permit. 1t is la
mentally true, though, that seats in
the Senate are too frequently won by
the improper use of money, and the
reward too often falls to shrewd polit-
ical wirc-pullers Of inferior rank as
This has never been true

Election by Popular Vote.

While the constitution of the United
States is without doubt the best de
viscd organic law in existence for thu
administration Of government, still i
would be idle to ascribe to it pcrfec
ton. Great and wise men framed it.
but they were largely theorists in gov

SO long and well stood the test is in.
deed worthy testimonial TO their wis
dom. Yet its trainers did not and
could not foresee the immense growth
and development Of this country mol
provide for it at the time they laid its
foundation.
Especially was it impossible fol
them to determine to what extent the
intelligence of the people as a whole
and their capacity for self-government
would reach century later. TEey,in
fact, appear to have been little
doubtful Of the wisdom of placing the
power directly in the hands of the
people. This is shown by several pro-
visions in the constitution, especially
by that one prescribing the method
by which the president and vice presi-
dent were to be elected. 1t is to this
that we desire to direct attention.
In the original document the presi-
dent was to be the person for whom
the greatest number Of votes were cast
by both Houses Of Congress and the
vice president he who received the
next highest number. This method
was followed for several elections until
its faults were thoroughly shown. Not
the least of these was that the presi-
dent and vice president were usually
opposed to each other in politics and
inharmonious action resulted. In case
OF the death Of the president the rule
would be turned over to the minority.
Some other plan had to be devised
and the so-called electoral college as
we now have it was adopted. Each
state was qualified to choose as many
electors as it had senator's and repre-
sentatives in Congress. These electors
were to choose the president and vice
president, voting for each separately.
Still is apparent the distrust of the
people. AS conceived, the plan was to
have men of wisdom and honor chosen
as electors and let them decide among
themselves who would best serve the

ballot and possibly may have strength
enough to win early in the fight, though
it hardly seems likely now. There is
q suspicion that Mckinley is pander-
ing to the silver element in the party
for the sake Of its aid in securing the
nomination. The Ohio platform OF
last week was rather weakened on
this question. 1t is significant that
Mckinley is the fayorite among the
leading candidates in the free coinage
section. Some even declare that he
would not veto free silver bill il it
came to him. We do not hold that
opinion Of Mckinley, however. We
regard him as a good man to lead the
ticket and prefer him to any other
candidate save Reed.

Murder in Northfield.

Mrs. George Marsh and William
Buzzell of Mortified were lodged in
Montpelier Jail Saturday charged with
the murder of Mrs. Marsh's husband.
George Marsh, farmer, living in
Mortified, died Jan. 29th under sus-
picious circumstances. His wife OBJ
jected to an autopsy and burial was
made without one, but later the body
was exhumed and an investigation
made. The stomach and intestines
were examined by experts and it is
said arsenic was found. Mrs. Marsh
bears very unsavory reputation.
Buzzell figures as her paramount.
Marsh had inherited some property
and was intending to make it over to
his mother, out Of reach of his wife,
with whom he did not live happily.

has long heen noted for its turbulent
characters. Thomas Cochran called
upon Neighbor John Kelley, COM
monty known as slack" ant. cider
was INDUCED in to very interesting
extent. Mr.. Cochran felt disposed to
go to Northfield, but objected to hav-
ing Kelley as company, but Kelley
insisted, SO they rode to Jeremiah
McCarty's. Here the argument was
reopened and as Cochran objected
more strongly than ever, Kelley
knocked him down, whereupon
Cochran drew a knife and stabbed
Kelley three times. Once the knife
pierced his lung.
Deputy Sheriff M. E. Chase Of
Roxbury was tclegraphed for ana,
with F. Dumas for help, arrested
Cochran.
