Direct Election of Senators.
The acceptance of the Bristovv
amendment hy tho House of Con
gress paves the way for the adop
tion hy the state legislatures of
the resolution submitting an
amendment to the Federal Con
stitution providing for the direct
ejection of United States sena
tors. The Bristow amendment,
retained control of congress of
"the time and place" for elect
ing senators. Some of the Hour
hon Democrats in the llonse op
posed this, holding that it \va3 an
infringement on the rights of
states, htil they finally decided to
waive the point, apparently for
the purpose of embarrassing the
reactionary Republicans in the
Senate who are opposed to direct
election on general principles,
and who lived the Hristow amend
ment as a bumper to prevent the
adoption of the resolution.
The legislatures of inure than
half the states will be in session
this winter, and it is not expect
ed that any of them will refuse to
ratify the proposed amendment,
propositions for which have boon
offered from time to time since
1820. The needed vote3 of the
legislature.* will be furnished this
winter and next and an end will
be put to the old plan of macliino
domination, bribery and other
forms of corruption that have too
often marked the election of
United Stales senators by legis
latures. Under the new plan, loo,
the United Slates Senate will be
more responsive lo the will of the
people, as they will have lo re
port direct to the people instead
of the bosses.
Meeting Postponed.
The regular meeting of the
trustees of 'the <iood Samaritan
Hospital and the church of the
Kpiphany will be postponed until
next Monday night.
The district court is now in
session at Chiliua, where a grand
jury has been summoned to in
quire into the conduct of Com
missioner Ilea lev, against whom
serious charges have been made.
