The Second Instance.

The second instance found in the words re-
ferred to In clause /, in which the literal mean
ing Of the constitution has been still further
strained in order that the election Of senators
mignS be facilitated, is striKngly shown in the
manner of choosing senators. The constitution
declares that they shall be chosen by the egis-
latures Of the states. II would seem clear from
this language that the requirements OF the con-
stitution in regard TO the election Of senators
would not he complied with unless its members
were elected by the legislatures of the several
states in the same way that laws are passed by
the concurrent act OF the two branches, approved
by the executive, or at least by elections held
separately in each independent legislative cham
Der. But the practice long prevailed, and was
silently acquiesced in by the senate Of electing
its members by joint ballot Of the two branches
of a state legislature, in which the members
constitute one aggregate body, and in which the
less numerous branch is disspated and lost in
the larger. This practice has now been estab.
lished by the act Of congress Of 1866 and while
its constitutionality has been questioned for all
practical purposes it is now too late to call into
question this mode of election.
So far most of the states arc concerned this
legislation by congress has been affirmed by state
legislation; nevertheless, as it is not competent
for the members of a legislative assembly to do
any ordinary act of legislation by proceeding in
joint ballot, an election effected by the mem.
bers of the legislature in that manner cannot
properly be said to be the choice of the legsls-
ture. Perhaps there could be no greater evidence
from the point of view of the senators upon the
other side of this question of a strained aud
almost violating Interpretation of the constitL-
tion, maue and acquesced into facilitate the eec.
tion of senators that the senate may be KEEP:
filled, than is afforded by this instance. Chan.
cellor Kent says in his commentaries that If the
question was new one it might well be main
tained that when the constitution directed that
the senators should be CHOSEN by the Legislature
it meant not the members of the legislature per
capita, but the legislature in the true technical
sense, being the two houses acting in their sepa.
rate organized capacities, with the ordinary con.
sttutional right of negative on each others pro.
ceedings" (kents commentaries vol. /, 225).

Work of the Senate.

II is hardly necessary TO 60 into details as to
the overwhelming importance OF carrying out
this paramount purpose of the framcrs of the
Constitution in having the senate kept filled.
No technicalities or subtleties should stand in
the way of consummating this essentially i'm
portant end. Any doubts il such exist, should
be resolved in favor Of this object, the import
ance Of which is admitted by every one. The
work OF senator, especially from some of
the larger state, is sufficiently arduous and
burdonsome to render it extremely desirable, in
order that the public business of The state may
be properly expedited, that the state should ne
represented by two senators. The inconvenience
to the members of this body incurred by such
vacancies is considerable, because the mechanism
o. the senate in committee assignments and in
ether matters pertaining TO the conduct of its
business is more or less disturbed. The equal
representation solcmnly guaranteed by the con.
stitution to each state is imperlcd. Even upon
broader and wider ground it can be said
that the people of every other state, OF all the
United States, are interested in having, and
arc entitled to have, every state in this union
fully represented upon the floor Of this body.
1t has been argued that can easily afford
to have year after year one or more states but
partially represented here, and that no serious
or practical inconvenience results. II has been
maintained that in some way it is the fault
OF the state because the state legislature fails
to elect, and that the state should suffer there
for, as If no other part of the country had any
interest in maintaining the full integrlt" Of the
senate. 1t might frequently happen that where
a majority Of the people of the United States
had declared one way upon n question and
were entitled to be represented by certain
majority OF senators TO this body upon that
Question that the popular will might be frus.

There have been several important cases bear.
ing cut this statement There have been great
questions settled by this senate by a majority
Of one or two votes. Had the states represented
by the senator's in those small maiorities been
unrpresented or but partially represented, these
great questions would have been determined
otherwise. The tariff OF 1916 was defeated ly

president. The impeachment Of Andrew John

was defeated in the senate by one vote. This
very question of the validity Of an executive ap.

Mantle case by vote so close that but for a
misunderstanding regarding certain pairs il rnight

EASTWOOD TRIAL
Begun This Morning at Middle
MOST A7ROC|OUS CRIME
He Tried to Exterminate an
Entire Family.

Middlebury, Aug. THE trial Of
Frederick Eastwood for the murder
of Frank Fem began in the county
court here this afternoon before
Judge Tyler.
Ex-state'S attorney F. L. Fish Of
Vergennes and Judge William II.
Bliss of Middlebury will prosecute;
while present states attorney James
b. Donoway Of Middlebury, who was
assigned to the defense before his
appointment to the state attorneys
Office, and attorney T. W. Moloney
Of Rutland will appear for the respon.
dent. Eastwood, who since the De-
cember term of county court, 1899,
has been confined at the Waterbury
retreat for the insane, under a law
which provides that when a plea Of
insanity is made an ample test shall
be provided under expert supervision,
was brought to Middlebury Saturday
night by Sheriff Chapman.
In spite of the lateneSs of the hour
there were a good many people at the
station eager to get a glimpse of
Eastwood. 1T is pretty we'll under
stood that Eastwood has not been by
any means model Of good behavior
during his soiourn in Waterbury, but
he came over very quiet ly and unob-
trusively with the officers. East
wood has not lost any flesh since his
departure from Middlebury and will
now weigh somewhere in the ricinity
of $50 or 26O pounds. The trial of
the case is likely to last ten days or
two weeks, and it may be some time
before jury is secured.
| The crime for which Eastwood is
held was one of the most atrocious
that has ever occurred in Addison
county. if not in the whole of Yer
mont. 1t was only by the best of for
tune that the list of dead did not
number four instead of one.
Frederick Eastwood was married
about 2 years ago to Miss Ida Brown
of East Middlebury. His married life
did not run smoothly after few
years, and the wife charged ungov-
ernable temper on the part of her hus-
band as the cause.
Aug. IA, 1899 he came to Middle
bury, hired team and drove to the
home of his wife, who was living with
her mother at East Middlebury and
shot both, but did not fatally injure
either. He then returned to Middle
bury and shot and killed Frank Fem,
and attempted to kill his wife. Mrs.
Frank Fem. The details Of the crime
will be told in the testimony and are
already familiar to most Vermont
readers.
