Popular Senatorial Elections.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE house has
unanimously adopted the resolution
proposing an amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States for the
election of senators by direct popular
vote. There was no demand for time
to debate the resolution. This is the

similar resolution.
Two bills of general Importance were
passed by the house, the remainder or
the time being devoted to minor bust
ness. One was a senate bill to provide
for the payment of the claims of con-
federate officers and soldiers whose
horses, side arms and baggage were
taken from them by union soldiers con-
traPy to the terms of the surrender of
Lee and Johnson's armies. The amount
to be paid under the bill was limited to
$40, 600. The other bill was to confer on
the Spanish claims commission author
ity to send for persons and papers and
to punish for contempt. Mr.. Corliss,

ment cable from San Francisco to Ma

SOUTHERN KANSAS WORK.
Santa Fe Is Doing Much For the
Southern Lines.

Just what it all m cans has not been
divulged by the powers that be, says
the Independence Reporter, but 1t
means something-the extensive i'm

Southern Kansas division of the Santa
Fe to this point and the improvements
that have already been in progress for
some time on the southwest branch
from here.
The Reporter learns that everything
in the way of wooden structures, such
as bridges and culverts, between here
and Kansas City, is being replaced with
steel, and in some Instances where there
are now steel structures they are being
removed and heavier ones put in their
place. One notable instance of TINS
kind is the fact that a new bridge is

Some time ago., in one Of these pa
pers, I wrote down the opinion that
women have nc sense of Justice; and
this remark called forth some letters
of earnest protest. Yet what l said
was absolutely true. A woman will
often fling herself with passionate In.
tensity into a crusade against some
particular injustice, but this is not be-
cause she cares anything for justice
as a principle, but because the espe-
cial instance has in some way made
an appeal to her feelings. Some other
act, no less unjust, but devoid of the
emotional element, will find her utter.
ly unmoved and stoniiy Indifferent,
say a writer in the Cosmopolitan. For
instance, many women In the North
were vehemently stirred by the anti.
slavery movement before the civil
war. This was because their feelings
could be narrowed by tales Of cruelty
such as Mrs. Stowe wrote down with
SO much vivid power; but l have never
heard that any of these women were
at all disturbed by the gross injustice
wrought by negro domination during
the years of carpet baggery, which by
comparison made slavery seem inno-
CEN and wholesome.

there were twenty of our university
boys who joined the army as volunteers
in the service of their country. Out of
this number three became commission-
ed and six became n0n-commissioned
officers before the war was over. One
died in a hospital in Florida. The re-
cord made by our boys speaks well for
the efficiency of this department. They
need an armory.
This building could be used also as
a gymnasium. Nothing would please
our students more han a building of
this sort, which could be used both by
boys and girls in turn for their games
and in the way of physical culture.
The physical development of u young
of their education. but we have been
lacking in facilities that would enable
us to do muc of anything in this di-
rection. The only form of physical ex-
ercise heretofore required has been in
military drill for the boys. and this has
to be suspended whenever the weather
is stormy. Any systematic physical
training of the girls can only be under
taken when we have a suitable build
ing providing the necessary privacy
and protection.
Such a building could also be used
for an entertainment hall and for social
gatherings occasionally of an evening
when rational and healthful amuse-
ments could be engaged in by the stu
dents and would have this great ad-
vantage of being on the campus under
the direct supervision of the University
authorities"
Between the lines of the foregoing
can be read a desire for a building that
will afford amusement for the students
as we'll as the necessary physical train
ing and exercise. Their hops could
be held in a hall OF this natur and they
would thus be under the direct supervi-
sion of the university authorities. The
expense of such a building would be
very moderate.
AS n whole the report of the presi-
dent OF the board of trustees is a care
fully prepared, able presentation Of the
affairs of the state university and will
be Of value in bringing the attention Of
the legislature to the manifold needs
OF the institution.
