The Forum for June.

Senator John H. Mitchell, OF Oregon,
will contribute to the June number of
the Forum a powerful and convincing ar
ticle advocating the ELECTION of Sena-
tors by Popular Vote" He thinks that
the political and moral supremacy of the
people can be Tightfully expressed and
maintained only when they exercise this
directly and not vicariously. He believes
that the election of United States Sena-
tors will % afford an efficient remedy
for the many evils resulting from the
present system OF Senatorial elections
such as length of time consumed and
frequent failure to choose, and the con-
sequent distraction of the legislative
mind from its proper business; (2) dis
courage the use of improper means to
influence the control OF Senatorial cleo
tions; (3) greatly diminish the tempta-
ii n to gerrymander; az enlarge the DO.
litical rights OF the individual voter re-
lating to suffrage; (5) eliminate from
elections involving the selection of men,
bers OF the legislature one great cause
for irritation and .unseemly contention
wherein as rule the question upon
which everything is made to turn is as to
how this or that man will vote for Sen
ator, rather than upon the question as
to his fitness for the Office of LEGISLATOR:
and (6) effectively tend to the destruc-
ton of "boss rule" Senator Mitchell
contends that thoroughly aroused and
enlightened public opinion demands the
change, and urges that this demand be
respected by Congress to the extent Of
giving the people OF the several States,
through their representatives in the leg
islatures, an opportunity to pass upon
the question; for, in his op onion, mo
harm is likely to come to representative
republican government in America by
intrusting to the qualified electors of the
nation the right to choose by popular
vote the men who are to make their
laws"

He Was BIuffed.

While Walter r. Henry was making
his speech Tuesday he asked any man
in the house who had any gold to hold
up his hand. DR.. CASTOR Nicholson, Of
Harmony, was sitting near the speaker.
and at once said he had two hundred
dollars in gold in his pocket, and made
as if he would take it out, saying he
could show it. Mr.. Henry thought
he was caught in trap, and protested
that he need not show it, and went on
hurriedly, asking if there was anybody
else there so fortunate. The doctor
did not display his gold aud now con-
graduates himself at his success as q
buffer. -Statesville Mascot.

The Hartselle (Ala) Enquirer, throws
out the following hint for the benefit of
delinquent newspaper subscribers:
1t is an experience OF publishers that
too many people are apt to think it mat
ters but little whether the newspaper bill
is paid promptly or not, that it is small
sum and is of butlttle consequence. This
is not because the subscribers are unwill-
ing to pay, but rather because they are
negligent. Each one imagines because
his years indebtedness amounts to a
small sum, the publisher cannot be much
in want OF it, without for moment
thinking that the income of a newspaper
is made up of just such small amounts,
and that the aggregate OF oil subscrip-
tons is by no means an inconsiderable
sum OF money, without which publishers
could not continue to issue their paper.
The proper way to pay in advance and
there is no trouble.
