BY POPULAR VOTE.

There is little necessity for the
DEMOCRAT to announce its hearty
approval OF the action of the house
of representatives in favor of the
amendment providing for the
election of United State senators
by direct vote of the people.
The DEMOCRAT has for years OK
tended an unqualified support to
this proposition and proposes to
continue along this line with a con-
fdent hope of ultimate success.
The sentiment in favor of the cleo
ton of United States senators by
a popular vote has been growing
steadily. There is excellent reason
to believe that this sentiment has
now attained forcefulness which
will compel the attention and pro-
per action of the senate. The
house can usually be relied on to
indorse the proposition. The peo-
pie of this country have received
repeated object lessons of the evils
attaching to the present system of
elect,ng senators by legislative
vo:e. Expensive and wearying le-
gislative deadlocks, resulting often
in the election of men who could
not have been elected through an
an appeal to the people, have not
been without their effect on the
popular mind. There has been
more than one instance of the use
fulness of a legislative session be-
ing utterly destroyed owing to
such a deadlock in a senatorial
election. The people have appar-
emily reached the conclusion that
their wisest course is to elect Unit
ed States senators by direct vote,
leaving legislators free TO- transact
the business of law making for
which they are sent to the state
Legislature. The United States
senate itself should promptly and
willingly testify to its PERCEPTION
of the truth by taking favorable
action on the bill providing for
senatorial election by popular vote
A contrary course would seem
very like the members of that body
were acting from purely selfish
motives aud in fear Of che people,
or at least, in grave distrust of the
wisdom of the people. This would
be an astounding confession on
the part of an American repre-
sentative body. Such a confession
should not be possible. The Unit
ed States senator who believes that
the people are not competent tc
choose senator holds his seat in
the senate under false pretenses
