For Direct Election of Senators.

For Direct Election of Senators.
The existing system Of electing
United States senators is constantly
growing more unsatisfactory. At
the present time four states-Penn-
sylvania, Delaware, Utah and Cali
fornia-are deprived of half their
presentation in the senate because
of failure of legislatures to elect
senators. The speotacles presented
to the nation by Pennsylvania and
Montana, are anything but edifying,
If Quay shall be seated and the
precedent thus established that gov
ernors may appoint, where legisla'
lures fail to elect, the situation may
be expected to grow still worse.
In that event, politicians in touch
with the governor, doubtless will
deliberately plan deadlocks IN order
to secure the appointment ofpoliti
cal favorites, who, like Quay, may
be very obnoxious to the people.
There is very general agreement
that the election of senator's by
popular vote would be productive
OF much better results in every re,
spect. Not only would better men
be sent to Washington, but the leg.
islative bodies would be improved
through the removal of influences
that are demoralizing to them. In
order to bring about the election of
senators by popular vote, the FEEDER.

The rifles of the guides were sheltered in

down the wrath of Chairman Carleton of
the fish and game commission. He yelled
to Peters to climb tree. but the latter was
too badly injured, and there they stayed in
the midWinter storm until morning, with
the moose on guard. They suffered in

from Il logging camp, and soon a party of
wCodsmen on their way to work, scared the
moose away. But for this lucky proceed

Peters was in a pitiable condition. He
was carried to the camp, where his wounds
were dressed and he was given the best

able to walk any distance.

with the officers Of the regiment and said

where. Every night, in every ship which
carries the flag Of the British empire, her

obliged to do standing on his chair, with
one foot on the table, while the drummers

considered true Welshman. All the toasts
are coupled with the name of ST. David. 1t
is in much this way that the toast with

the table, and the pipers parade the room.

The author OF this stirring piece was one
John McCreery, one of the United Irish
men. who had been eXiled from his native
land for the part taken by him in the Irish
rebellion against British rule. and judging
from his writings and conduct he was as
loyal to his adopted country as he had
been jealous in the cause of ireland. He
lived for several years in Petersburg, Va,
where he wrote the foregoing song about
1910, and commanded military company
of that city in the war thus backing with
his sword the sentiments of his poetry.
Among his many patriotic writings was a
song commencing:
The deed is done the die is east
Aud war comes driving in the blast:
Gloomy deaths dark wing he rides
And onward fierce his course he guides
EDshrouded in 4 cloud Of night:
Loud shriaks of attend his flight
