THE ELECTION or SENATOR !

The recent deadlocks existing at one
time in eight State legislatures and the fact
that bribery has been VIGOROUSLY resorted
to IN az least three OF them. has caused
the press to renew discussion of the prop
csition TO so amend the constitution as to
Pre- vide for the election OF United States
senator's by direct vote of the people,
in California one of the leading candi-
dates for senator admitted in his testimony
before an investigating committee that be
provided his campaign manager with funds
to be used in behalf Of his election ana
the grand jury of the county stated that
money had been corruptly used, but the
guilty persons had been artfui enough to
avoid Identification. III Montana mem
Der of the legislature produced and turned
over to the presiding officer the sum OF
$40, 900, which he claimed had been paid 10
him with which TO buy votes and subse-
quently declared in open session that every
member who voted for the successful can
didate for senator had been bought. In
Pennsylvania. while there have been no
specific charges of bribery made II has been
so flagrantly practiced that 1t was deemed
necessary by those who arc conducting the
opp, sition to the reelection OF the present
senator to offer reward of $4,000 for
satisfactory evidence of any attempt at
bribery committed In connection with the
senatorial election. Allegations of ut
tempts to bride legislators in the Delaware
senatorial election are also freely made,
but whether successfully or unsuccessfully
has not bsen shown.
These disgraceful transactions and the
tie-ups in other legislatures in efforts TO
elect senators are pointed to as object les
sons showing the evils OF the present meth
cd CT choosing United States senator's, and
the necessity of leaving the people to elect
them at the ballot box. Other points made
are the delay OF public business resulting
from deadlochs and the influence OF official
patronage in affecting the choice of SEN
stors.
OF course there is much to be said upon
the other side Of tho proposition. but the
practical illustrations afforded by the
States In which the deadlocks have oc-
CURED and the shameful accounts OF brib-
cry and corruption involved III some Of the
contests will certainly Increase the al
ready very potent sentiment in favor Of
popular elections for choosing United
States senator's

REPUBLICAN, REPRESENTATION.

Although the presidential election is
nearly two years In the future and 1t is
something more than u year before the
two great parties will begin TO elect dele
gates to National conventions. the repub
lican press has already commenced dis
cussicn upon the question OF Southern
representation In the National convention.
In republican, as we'll as In democratic
conventions, the representation of a State
has been based upon population. Thus
Texas has been given in republican con-
ventions equal representation in proportion
to its population with Massachusetts, or
Illinois, although 1t can not contribute a
vote for the election Of a republican presi-
Dental candidate. The New York Press,
which has opened the discussion, suggests
the absurdity OF admitting Texas and
Georgia into n republican convention on
equal terms with Massachusetts, and Iowa"
The point is "A good one, but II the policy
Of changing the basis and allowing rep
resentatlon only In proportion to the
numerical strength of the party in each
State is adopted, 1t will be a hard blow al
tho political oficeholders and bosses In the
South. who exchange votes for influence
and for places in the public service, as
we'll as to the "cullud" leaders to whom
the market for traffic In votes will thereby
be entirely closed.

In the payment of salaries and other costs
of a session during the time when business
was suspended. AS In Michigan, the Texas
legislature has Joint committees to visit
aud inspect the various public institutions,
and as In Michigan, their visits result In
very little benefit la the way OF general
information as to their condition and
needs The reports made by them are
much like the average grand jury report,
nero detail of what was done and gen.
eral statement that In the institution vie
tied everything was In apple-pie order,

ding comfortable and clean and the super
intendent an exceedingly efficient and
proper man in his place. As the Journal
suggests. all such information could rs
well be furnished By the state board hav-
ing supervision of the institutions, but the
y boards are composed of business men
whose personal affairs too often preclude
them from giving close attention to these
public matters.

authority of the State revenue agent 10
