Wednesday Morning, Feb. 10, 1892.
THE SEBTATE.
The proposition to amend the Con-
stitutioo so that United States Sena
tors shall be elected by the direct
.. yote of the people, instead of by the
legislatures, has given rise to various";
suggestions as improvements on the
v Senate as it is now constituted. There
are several objections urged in favor
of a change, one of which is that
while each State has two Senators,
and none more than two, the small
est State is as mighty, as far as pow
er in the Senate goes, as the most
populous; Nevada, with her 45,000,
offsetting New York, with her 5,000,
000 of people. Two plans have
been suggested to remedy this
. one by Congressman Miller, of
Wisconsin, who proposes to divide
the States into two classes, based on
population, give l; the larger States
v two Senators, and the smaller s one.
What the distinguishing number is
to be we do not know, but it would
embrace a dozen or more of our
forty-four States and would take in
all the pocket boroughs that have
been made to order, since -the war.
. As the only States that would be af
fected by this would be the smaller
number as well as the smaller States
they who are favorably struck with
" this plan think it.' would pass Con
gress with little opposition,--if any
proposition bearing on that subject
would, and would , encounter no
trouble in being ratified by the neceV
'- sary two-thirds of the States.
The. other plan, based upon the
same idea, the difference being that
it does not contemplate a reduction,
' but an increase of Senators, is sug
gested by the Chicago Tribune. This
plan gives each State two Senators
as new, and in addition to these one
. - forever million, or moiety of a mil
lion, of. population which would make
. the Senate stand about as follows : -
.- Alabama 3 Nebraska . . -2
Arkansas ....... 2 Nevada.... .... 2
California ... ; . ; 2 N. Hampshire . r 2
Colorado . . . . '. . . 2 New Jersey.1. . . 2

, But these plans are based on the
, , idea of popular representation, ; the
, latter somewhat more ' definitely
:, : than' the former, and as such' would
not meet with favor from those who
C sti.11 regard the Senate as a body
owicb, wnicn it was in its origin yout
which it has long since ceased to be.
A A. "" m r - .... '
The Senate for the last thirty years
ihas "come about as near - represent-
r - . .t.- : ; . , " ,
ing China as it has tne principle , oi
State sovereignty. - Within that time
the most ready, : zealous, ' persistent
and unscrupulous' ignbrers . of State
lines and assailants of . State ; spver
ignty were found right in "the - Sen
ate and are f pundihere to-day
We do not- mean -: to -assert I. that
there are no defenders- of theiState
rights in the Senate, for there are,
and some very able and uncomprom
ising ones, as there are also' in the
Housed which is a body . representa
tive not of the S tates " as such, as
the" Senate is supposed by some to
be, but of the people. . - ;
But the popular dissatisfaction
with the Senate as now composed
does not arise so much from the fact
that; the r smaller -States have too
much power in proportion to popula
tion and - the larger too little,, as to
the fact that ' the . Senate.' has ceased
to be a representative body either of
the States or of the people, but has
become a mere resort, so to speak,
of men whose . bank , accounts have
put them where their- brains never
could. - It - is the man of i dollars
who now - goes to the : Senate
from those States "where -men
have large - fortunes ' and where
money is more' potent than intel
lect or solid worth. It has come to
be so now in many States that a
poor man or a man of ordinary
fortune does not think of aspiring to
the Senate and the result is that the
Senate, as a representative body, has
degenerated, and money bags have
taken the place of intellect There
are some distinguished exceptions to
this but they come from States where
iwealth has not yet become the talis
man to recognition, but where in
time it may become such if the pre
sent method : of selecting Senators
continues. --. - .
It is a notable fact that as extrava
gant as the Hqpse of Representa
tives has been of; late years with the
people's money the Senate has been
still more so. Few appropriation
bills go from the House to the Sen
ate that' arei not increased by the
Senate, and : conference committees
have become so common, when the
House has refused " to accept the
amounts added by the Senate, as to
haye. ceased to attract attention.
Economy cannot be expected in a
body which counts as many mil
lionaires as . , the Senate and where
these millionaires control : the' ma
jority party. This might not be
altogether overcome if the Senators
were alected by the people, but it
would be in a great measure. J t J
j Huron HEirrioir.. --;
k, Senator v George, of - Mississippi,
has introduced a bill in the Senate
to make railroad companies respon
sible for injuries to employes, even
when the injuries are caused by the
carelessness of - other employes. It
also provides that the cars shall be
equipped with automatic -couplers,
and in case of suits for damages for
injuries, the absence of these shall
be prima arV evidence against the
companies. It might be questioned
by some whether ;it is . quite fair to
hold companies responsible in these
cases for the . carelessness of their
employes, but companies are held
responsible for injuries to passen
gers, resulting from the carelessness
of their ; employes, and if this be
right, in what essential feature does
the other proposition " differ from it?
If -freight cars were provided with
automatic couplers, as many passen
ger cars are, there would be but lit
tle injury to employes, and little loss
of life, or,until-the coupler that
meets the requirements be found, if
freight cars were provided wit,h
bumpers a few inches longer, and
the roofs of the cars projected suffi
ciently, at both ends to nearly cover
the space between the -cars : when
linked together, there would ; be a
cqntinuouswaikway for the brake
man from one end of the train to the
other, and no danger of tumbling be
tween the cars. when ; hastening to
answer the blow of the whistle.
When so little effort would result in
preventing much loss of life and in
jury to body- it is remarkable that
so little is done.' "--.''
' There is a scarcity of . money in
the South and" the West." There is
not only an abundance, but a super
abundance of money in the Central
and the Eastern States" The South
and the West are agricultural sec
tions; the Centre and the East are
manufacturing sections. . They have
the benefit of the protective tariff,
and the South and West pay tribute
to them accordingly. -.The demand
for an increase of circulating medium
comes from the Souttf and West.
,One of the principal reasons why
these. sections - suffer from : the
need of,,," mpney as. they' do
is ". because -. heavy 4ribute is
levied upon every' - tariff-taxed
article, they, buy and the money goes
to the mahufactuiihg. States: to pay
for them, and the result ;is-;that The
.money of the country is drawn to the
manufacturing centres creating a
surplus there and a . deficiency .else
where.' A prooer adjustment of the
tariff, would remedy : this,;and leave
the circulating medium of thicoun
try ; ; more evenly -distributed, and
would thus prevent in a great mea
sure the stringency;, from which the
agricultural sections suffer. ; This
tariff reform, would accomplish two
things, it would save money to buy
ers in -. the cost ' of. manufactured
articles -which they buy nd would
leave more ; money in the hands of
the people to meet the demands of
business. ,This would be practically
equivalent to an expansion of 'the
currency as far as it went, i . ;
.
The oft-predicted Blaine letter has
appeared at last, "in due season," Jn
which he announces that he is not a
a candidate for the Presidency and
tharhis name will not go before the
Republican : National"!; Convention.
He couldn't very well postpone say
ing -something :on this subject any
longer, for the conventions are be
ginning to- be held - to choose dele
gates to the National Convention, so
that Mr." Blaine could not remain
silent without doing - injustice to his
fnends,"if he had resolved not to be
a candidate,nor remain in the Cabinet,
if he intended to be a candidate," with
out playing the part of duplicity with
the President He has said : all s un
der the circumstances thatit is neces
sary to say, but yet. in the face of
this ; letter Mr. Blaine's name may
go before the convention although
he says it will not. There is. nothing
in it to prevent him from accepting
a nomination if it be tendered . to
him by the apparently," unsolicited
action of the convention. ' In - that
case he could not be charged with
inconsistency for he has not, yet said
that he would not accept a nomina
tion if it were tendered and. if -he
thought he could be elected. But he
may have some serious doubts about
that.- - ': -
