G0O0 RESULTS SHOULD FOLLOW.

The United States made history the
other day when ths House OF Represen-
tatives By the decisive vote of 287 to SO
accepted the Senate's amendment to
the bill providing for direct election OF
senators by the people. For nearly a
century this question has been Up in
some form or other, but the action OF
Congress two weeks age may be said to
settle it, ior in al likelihood the amend
ment Will be ratified by the necessary
three fourths Of the states.
For years the question bed passed the
argument stage, leaving but sentiment
as the one thing only that prevented
the reform. That the people of a state
are as well qualified to vote directly for
senators as they are for representatives
goes without saying.
The positive advantage of direct cleo
tons is evident. While it is absurd to
suppose it VIII entirely eliminate all
bribery and uofairness, or result in
first class men only being elected, it is
reasonable to suppose that the power OF
the purse will not be so dominant as
