For Direct Election of Senators

The house of representatives by
large majority has adopted the
resolution for a constitutional
amendment requiring the election
of senators by direct vote Of the
people. 1t is not to be expected
that the senate itself will take
kindly to the proposition, but the
friends Of popular government in
that body should attempt to force a
vote on the resolution at this session
If possible. II would be we'll TO see

They Have No Sympathy for the
BoerS.

Edward Lauterbach, leading
republican politician in New York,
says the Kansas City Times, seems
to have created a sensation day
or two ago by giving his party a
warning on the Boer question which
has frequently been printed in the
columns of the Times. After say
ing something on the merits of the
question he concludes: II believe
the republican party is lrretriev-
ably lost If it leaves to the demo.
cratic party the first opportunity to
insert in its national platform a
plank that will declare for the
South African republics. | am un-
alterably opposed to leaving such
action to the democrats" No one
who knows the Irish, the Germans,
the Dutch or their kindred races
can doubt that they and their
descendants in this country will
resent the neglect of the plain duty
of the republican party upon this
point, but if Mr. Hanna and the
president continue to prevent con
gress from expressing sympathy
for the Beers what reason is there
to expect that they will permit such
a declaration in the platform.
