Congress. Senator Depew win offer
an amendment the effect of which
would be to re-enfranchise the dis
franchised negroes of the South, and
which has some of the old Force bill
features. All the senators opposed to
the Bristow amendment which. by
the way, is the same reported by
Harry st. George Tucker in the House
in 1892 and passed by that body; will
support the Depew amendment, real
izing that no Southern state would
adopt it. Then Senator Penrose has
an amendment providing for proper
tional representation in the Senate,
but it isiso absolutely at variance with
the theory on which the Senate is
based that it has no chance at all.
The Depew amendment is the only
one likely to cause trouble.
If the Bristow amendment gets
through the Senate, it will readily 60
through the House which has passed
such amendments no less than four
times. The sentiment of the people Is
decidedly in favor of the change, and
more than sufficient number Of
states have already declared in favor Of
it, although a number Of these declAt-
atoms have not been made in legal
form. Some of the states realizing
the difficulty of getting the; amend
ment to the constitution within . rea-
sonable time have tried to secure the
same result by indirect means, such as
the senatorial primary. That this is
not always effective is shown by the
