SELECTION OF SENATORS.

| Evidently no constitutional amend
men is needed to secure the popular
election of senator's, in spite of the
Irecalcitrancy of the Illinois legislature.
Where the people show a pronounced
desire to dictate the selection of a SEN
ator they can get it. They may fail in
Illinois, but the scheme is a new one
there, and it isn't often that a legisla-
ture would disobey orders. The agita-
ton for the direct election of senators
is due to the fact that good many
rich men have been. elected by legisla-
lures, and there is a common idea that
they either bought their way in or were
the representatives of large financial
interests. Therefore, 1t will be inter-
esting to observe how the senators
named by direct vote compare with
those chosen in the usual way. Will
they be found to be ADLER or purer
than the men who have been chosen by
legislatures?
An examination of the roll Of the SEN
ate will show that while some very rich
men without previous political activity
have been sent to the senate, a large
majority of the senators have served
their states as governors or congress-
men or Judge. The legislatures have in
most instances chosen men who had
already been chosen to other off1ces by
the people, and it Will probably be
found that the members of legislatures
are very much like their constituents
and that their taste in senators is SINH
lar to that of the public at large.-Phfl-

The city council tries TO encourage beau.
tiful building by annually offering a gold
medal to the architect who Is found TO
have planned the most attractive facade,
and BY freeing from the building tax the
structure thus favored.
The outward aspect OF Buenos Ayres Is
rather that Of q European than Of an
American capital. 1t has all the finish Of
a Paris or q Berlin. The absence OF the
irregular skyline. caused in North Amer.

that the ground OF the city Is quite uni

outlying regions, keeps the city from
