be changed

constitution providing that the sem
ators and representatives shall begin
the fsiliillment of the duties Of their po-
sitions on the first Monday in the De-
ccmber following their elections. Such
an amendment to the constitution has
been contemplated and urged by nu-
mcrous experienced statesmen during
the past ten years: and the subject will
again be agitated in the congress dur
ing the coming session.
There was good reason for the org
inat constitutional provision. In those
days steam was not available for the
transportation of people. either by land
or by water. Electricity was unknown.
and hence there were no telegraphs
aud telephones. The congress might
be called in session by the president,
but the postal service was defective as
well as slow, and hence a great deal of
time was required to bring together the
senators and Representatives. More
over, for the same reasons the affairs
of the world We're slow, and internal
tional affairs were %dilatory. 1t required
three months of time to cross the ocean:
and it took more than a month to COM
municate with the statesmen in the
Mississippi valley--that river marking
the western boundary Of the republic.
but when the nation expanded by the
Louisiana purchase and by the cessions
from Spain and from Mexico, increased

people should be so long DELAYED as to
be almost wholly thwartrd.
During the past two weeks the cit,
has been filling up with statesmen anC
their families, and with the innumer.
able retinue of people having interest
in various measures which will be
brought forward for congressional con.
sideration. The new members are
seeking boarding houses and settling
down. not to legislation, but to the
study Of legislation. The new members
are expected to take back seats. and fol.
low the leadership of the men whose
constituencies have kent them in pub.
lie life for many wears.
This fact suggests another statement
of o~pinion-of opinion formed after
many wears Of observation of the ma.
tional Legislature. The people who are
best served by their congressmen and
senators are the people who select good
