TIE REAL ISSUE.

The Baltimore Sun" answers our
criticism Of its attitude in holding that
1.-THE election Of Senator's by direct vote
should not be complicated by any other
question and Yet insisting that II
ought TO be complicated" with a pro
posal to take away from the federal gov
eminent the power it now possesses 10
supervise the processes by which Sena-
tors are elected, by saying that The
Tribune j. committed to single-word
form Of amendment, which would be ut
fault in not prescribing the Qualifica-
tiOns Of the voters in each state entitled
to elect q Senator. II asked the other
day:
Cannot il THE Tribune see that its
cne-word amendment, while apparently
simple, would work a great and mighty
change il the Constitution and would be
one OF the most serious inroads upon the
original reserved rights Of the states that
was ever made? Or is IL that our friend
can see all THESE things, but will not?
The Sun" imputes TO us a position
which we have not assumed. The Trib-
une heartily approved the form Of the
amendment acted upon in the Senate
on February % last, which made the
qualifications for voting for a Senator
the same as those for voting for Rep
resentative. We are not concerned
about giving Congress the sole right to
prescribe the qualifications of voters for
Senators. but only want TO preserve the
present prerogatiye Of Congress TO super.
wise the processes by which members of
the national legislature are chosen. II
cannot he preserved by transferring en-
tire control Of the election of Senators
to the states, as would be done under
the terms Of the amendment passed re
Gently by the House Of Representatives
With a new method Of electing Sena-
tors in force, the federal supervisory
power might be applied in a slightly diff
ferent way. But the power remains the
same Those who want merely 10
change the method, as The Sun" says il
does, should not pretend that they are

l don't believe the committee ever went "a
sec Governor Murphy about it. Had the
matter been called TO his attention, he is
too kind hearted a man to have overlooked

correspondent, that while the German
Navy League has more than a million
members the French Naval League has
only seventeen thousand. Doubtless 1t is
susceptible of several plausible explana-

But It will generally be interpreted as
indicating that the military spirit is far
