RATHER HARD ON THEMSELVES.

In the opinion of the Albany Dven-
ing Journal. the newspaper OF which
William Barnes, Jr.. is the controlling
spirit. the siSty-four United States
Senators elected by the Lcgis-
1atures OF their respective States cast
reelection on their own qualifications
for membership" when thoy voted for
the resolution providing for the cleo
ton of Senator'S by direct vote or the
! people. More than this. IN the opinion
of MIR. Barnes. through their votes
they betrayed ignorance or disregard
OF the purpose which the fremors Of
the Constitution had In mind when
they created the Senate, so that. what
ever the vacillnting sentiment and the
clamor of the masses" that body at
least would be able to consider i'm
portant public measures with "the de-
liberate calm Judgment that is not
ruined By every passing breeze Of
popular prejudice or favor" Tho
Senator'S who voted for this resolution
cannot blame the people, surely, IL
the people should take thoir Judgment
as to the failure of the present method,
the method which has obtained since
the Government was founded, of
choosing United States Senator's The
vote OF the Senators for the resolu-
tion was to their own discredit. not
