The lower house of Congress has for the third
time struck the key note in the election OF United
States Senators by popular vote. 1t would have
been much more graceful, however, for that kind
of bill to have been sprung by the senate itself,

linton in the senate will be watched with interest,
and if it runs the gauntlet successfully we need
scarcely predict that the people will make it law
