Vigorous attack was at once made
on the resolution by the regular re-
publcans and several insurgents.
They saw in it the surrender to the
states not only of all power Congress
has now over the election of sena-
tors and representative, but all
power, also, to prevent the entire
Acknowledgement of the negro voters
in the South. The friends OF the
resolution saw little else in the at
tack. however, than an appeal to
partisan and sectional prejudice ana
an attempt to obscure the merits or
the issue.
-Four amendments were proposed.
One by Senator Nelson suggested
that the legislature should prescribe
whether senators were to be elect
ed by majority or plurality OF the
popular vote cast. Another by Sen
ator Depew had the ring of the
Force BIZ to it. 1t proposed that
THE qualification of citizens en-
titled to vote for United States sem
ators and representatives. in Con-
gress shall be uniform in all the
states, and Congress shall have pow
er 10 enforce this Article by appro-
pirate legislation, and to provide for
the registration of citizens entitled
to vote, the conduct of such cleo
lions and the certification of the re-
suit"
Both these amendments failed, but
it was with such move as this that
Senator Depew was able to defeat
the popular election of senator's in
the previous Congress. when the reg
ular republican strength was great
er than in the last.
The real contest. hinged however,
upon two amendments submitted by
Senator Sutherland of Utah, another
young republican senator and man
of superior ability His amend
ments proposed to strike out of the
resolution All the constitutional |
hanges it proposed, except that
lone requiring senators to be
lected by the people, instead of by
he legislatures.
Senator Root described the amend
rents as follows: AS the Constitu-
on now stands, senators are elect
/ by the legislatures, whose pro-
ceilings are under the control and |
gulation of the National Congress.
he resolution proposes to transfer
e power of election from the leg
Iature to the popular electorate
thout extending to the new electo-
tie that power of national control.
lie Sutherland amendments pro
Sc to carry over to the new body
electors the same control which y
e present Constitution attaches to f
e existing power of electors. y e
These amendments were adopted I
vote of fifty to thirty-seven. All
e democrats, except one, and eight
surgents voted against them. Sen |
or Clarke of Arkansas. one of the |
blest lawyers and most independ-
pt-spirited members of the upper |
ouse, was the one democrat who
-oted for the Sutherland amend /
nents.

Some praise the pipes of Pan that once
aroused with tones of gold
The nymphs and naiads of the haunted
forests known of old;
And when Apollo struck the Tyre It's said
the trembling strings
Sent forth a marvel melody that was as
though on wings
But once it seemed all other tones were
simply stricken dumb
Beside the joyous jewsharp with its
"Flummer- f1ummer- f1um!"
No classic thing, the jewsharp. but when
you and l were boys
In very truth 1t seemed to us it made
soulful noise,
And we would press it 'gainst our teeth
and puff our breath, and beat
Our hngers on the tongue and seek to
coax the music sweet
No cavalier with his guitar whereon his
tunes to strum
Could drown the olden jewsharp with its
"Flummer- -f1ummer- fum!''
see you now-your eyes bulged out,
your lips drawn back and strained
Your chin held rigid as a wise. while slow
ly you attained
Perfection in the melody as back and
forth your hand
Went solemnly in unison with music that
was grand.
All, then we thought the greatest strains
that ever were could come
Forth from the iron jewsharp with it's
'Flummer- -flummer-f -fum!
The winds that strike aeolian harms set
fairy strains adrift
And bands may play us surging tunes
that make hearts beat swift.
But memory clings to its own, and mem
ory is sure
That our old jewsharp melodies were
marvellous and pure,
And through the hazes of the past in
gentle chords there come
The throbbing of the jewsharp in its
Flummer- -f1ummer- f1um!'
