A New Century Refo. Il.
The People Must Vote Direct Fer Senator
and President.

The time will not be past the be-
ginning of the approaching twenti-
eth century when the people will
demand and get not only the con-
stitutional amendment which shall
give them a direct vote for Presi-
dent of the United States, and Unit
ed States Senators, cabinet officers
and United States supreme judges,
but also a voice on all important
legislation affecting the general pub
lie as we'll. Disgraceful contests
like the Hanna senatorial purchase
together with the enactment OF laws
for the enrichment of the few at the
expense and disadvantage Of the
masses are stickers in the minds of
men who have been taught that
time is a government OF the people,
for the people and by the people,
and a notion where the majority
rules. The rights OF the .ople are
safe with the people and we do not
believe that we a.e iar wrong in
predicting that the time is not far
distant when the people will dare to
insist upon taking hand in their
own government and in declaring
that what the majority says snail
be the law.-Ee.

The second sealing conference closed
with an agreement of the American,
Canadian and British seal experts upon
certain matters Of fact. Among these
are the statements that the Pribilof
seal herd is not more than one-third or
one-fifth as large as formerly; that the
catch at sea contains a marked excess
OF females: but that deep-sea sealing
has fallen of in greater ratio than the
herd has; and that the herd is not in
danger of actual determination while
its hannts on land are protected, and
the protected zone around the islands
is maintained. This agreement Of the
experts was followed by diplomatic
conference, at which the representa-
tives of Canada submitted PROPOSE
tons for an adjustment of all questions
at issue between the United States and
Canada, through an international COM
mission. These propositions are to be
formally presented later for the con-

country, and is becoming every year
more and more an industrial and COM
merciai country. In 1882, of every
1000 persons 425 were supported by
agriculture and only 355 by industry

portions were already nearly reversed,
391 per 1000 derived their livelihood
from industry, lis from commerce and
