SENATOR'S BY POPULAR VOTE.
Other Important Matters Deserve At
tentiOn First.
Washington Star.


Mr.. Depew has probably accomplished
the object he had in view in proposing an
amendment to the House resolution pro-
vidfng for the election of United States
senators by popular vote. The amendment
has been accepted by the majority Of the
Senate committee on privileges and cleo
tons, and that, 1T is thought, makes the
defeat of the resolution certain.
The proposition was never particularly
strong in the Senate. The Democrats have
shown some interest in it, and Mr.. Bryan
has urged that they support it solidly. He
thought 1T good card to play in connec-
ton with the next presidential election. But
neither he nor any other Democratic leader
mas taken into account such a proposition
as MANHOOD suffrage in connection with the
cnange, and now that this has been brought
forward the Democratic senators show
signs of losing interest in the subject. They
would be glad to have the people vote d.
the Southern States larger than are now
admitted TO the polls. To enlarge the cleo
torate down there is too great price, they
consider; to pay for anything.
Judged simply as a maneuver, Mr.. De-
pews move is entitled TO some praise. But
MS proposition does not meet the broader
ends of congressional representation at all.
he speaks against a choice of senators by
"ollgarchy," and instances the power OF
Mississippi, with fifty-five thousand votes.
as against New York, with fifteen hundred
thousand votes, with senatorShips submit
ted to the popular choice. But the 'oli-
garchy already exists. and will continue
with the old order of things. The fifty-five
thousand votes in Mississippi will continue
TO elect the State Legislature, which in turn
Will choose the senator, while the fifteen
hundred thousand votes in New York will
be able TO do no more
MI Depew has begun at the wrong end
OF the line. Constitutional representation
In Congress Is a very important matter.
Inc inequality in the House is conspicuous
and wholly without Justification, and that
is where correction should be applied. If
applied there il would apply itself in time
10 the Senate For nothing is more certain
IMAM that the South, IL required to stand
upon the constitutional provision as to the
Suffrage, would liberaliZe her suffrage laws
both TO her own and the country's advan-
tage. The local bosses might be upset i'm
the process, but nobody but they would be
injured. of course, as Mr.. Depew is not A
member OF the House he is not i'm the fight
there, but If he is really opposed TO 'oIi-
garchies'' i'm our politics he should give his
sympathy, at least. to those of his party
friends In the House who are trying to es-
tablish something like equality among the
States III their powers in that body.

DAY SPENT in PRACTICE
INDIANAPOLIS AND MILWAUKEE,
TEAMS DID LIGHT WORK.
Both in Perfect Condition for To-
Days Opcning-Corrected Line-Up
for the Game-Daub Reports.

The only thing to prevent record-break-
ing opening day attendance at the inaugu-
ration OF the American Association season
in Indianapolis to-day will be a heavy
downpour of rain this afternoon. The rain
last night will not injure the prospects for
a big crowd; in fact, Manager Watkins and
Secretary Ruschaupt greeted the storm
with pleasure, for the park is badly in need
of rain, and, as the grounds were perfectly
dry, all the rain that might fall before 3
o'clock this afternoon would be absorbed or
carried off by the system of drainage on the
field. Manager Watkins pictured a crowd
lining the entire field for to-day's game
and his hopes will doubt be realized
with good weather in his favor.
Yesterday was spent by the members of
the Indianapolis and Milwaukee teams in
at Washington Park, while Manager Cling
man took his men to Brighton Beach.
where they practiced in the morning and
afternoon. Manager Watkins said last
night that all of his men are i'm hrst-class
condition. Hogriever and Coulter have re-
covered from the slight injuries they re-
ceived in Mondays game. There will be
no change in the lineup Of the Indianapolis
team from that previously announced, but
Manager Clingman has decided TO make a
slight change in his lineup.
Manager Watkins announced last night
that Pitcher Dan Daub will report for duty
to-day. Daub was signed last fall and has
been coaching a college team all winter.
He will report in f1rst-class condition and
will be ready to take his regular turn i'm the
box.
The two teams will parade the downtown
streets prior TO this afternoons game. The
line of march follows:
From the Grand Hotel south on Illinois
street to Georgia street, east to Meridian,
north and around the west side of the mon
ument TO Ohio street, east TO Pennsylvania,
