Uy WILLIAM H. BERNARD, WILMINGTON, N..C. 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 Connecticut. . .J' New York... . . 7 Delaware ...... . 2 North.

Missouri ....,'. 4 . . ; Montana 2 Total in , 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.- - ': - CURRENT COMMENT. The Senate of : Virginia is against our women who are ambi tious to ; serve in the professional walks of ; life..
