SIGNS OF A CHANGE,

The trend of events in the United
States is setting strongly towards
the election of senators directly by
the people. The first cause was the
general cry of corruption in connec-
tion with election by the state legis-
‘latures. Although bribery had not
been proved prior to this year, in
any particular case, there was so
much smoke that everybody knew
there must be some fire. Then
came the deadlocks in several states
where no one candidate could get
the required majority of the whole
legislature. This wasted the time
of the legislatures, which ought to
have been given up to the passing of
laws, and aggravated) the talk of
bribery. Senators were appdinted
by the governors, but were turned

down in the senate on the ground
that their appointments were irregu-
lar. Again and again this has hap-
pened, notably in the case of Senator
Quay, whose gigantic pull could not
pull him through. Thus states have
been left without representation,
Pennsylvania, Utah and Oregon be-
ing sufferers in this way.

But the greatest blow to the sys-
tem of electing senators by the vote
of the state legislatures was the case

“ef W. A. Clark, of Montana. His
rival, Marcus Daly, was as lavish
in his expenditure of money to prove
him guilty of bribery as Clark was
in the bribery itself. The senate
committee unanimously reported
against seating Clark after an in-
vestigation which exposed corrup-
tion in all its enormity.

The popular answer comes in an
almost unanimous vote of the house

‘of representatives in favor of sub-
mitting to the people a constitution-
al amendment providing that sena-
tors be elected by direct vote of the
people. It will, no doubt, be de-
feated in the senate and the require-
ment that a constitutional amend-
ment must be approved by the
legislatures of two-thirds of the
states will delay its final i

ties of bribery would be reduced to
a minimum by a direct vote by se-
cret ballot and‘deadlocks would be
impossible, except'in the rare case
of a tie vote. The time of the legis-
jatures would no longer be wasted
on contests which are no part of
their proper furictions and the busi-
ness of the people would receive
proper attention. A very great
gain would be the removal of any
inducement to candidates for the
senate to run men for the legisla-
ture simply to get their votes, re-
gardless of their fitness to. make
laws. The quality of men sent to
the state legislatures should be im-
proved thereby, for one of the op-
portunities for’ corrupt men’ would

But a change like this is a long
time coming in the United States.
With all their Bryanism and. excita-
bility on the surface, the American
people have a strong substratum of
conservatism, which puts the brake
on radical changes.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

If anything would check sarcastic
comment on the Boer traps into
which British troops have fallen, it
is the Filipino traps which now and
then catch a party of American sol-
diers,

The political parties in the States
aretrying to hold down the war
heroes by tying them to the tail of
the presidential tickets. But Roose-
velt will not have the sham honor
and Dewey probably feels -the same
way.

Suppose’ Dewey should happen
to be elected vice-president, there
would be an interesting time in the
senate when he presided. He knows
more about naval regulations than
parliamentary law and might cause
a flurry among the Masons, Petti-
grews and Tillmans by some of his
rulings. There is no senatorial
courtesy on a warship, nor is there
any appeal from the decision of the
chair.

Dr. Leyds is such an expert con-
fidence man that for a long time he
fooled Oom Paul himself.

Kruger’s final prediction is that
the powers will intervene. But

rarely come true.

Will Minister Borden see that
those five battalions who are guard-
ing the lake frontier against Feni-
ans have ammunition for their guns?

What with keeping out Fenians
in the East and smallpox in the
West, the Dominion government is
busy along the boundary.

for years. But the Clark case, the
deadlocks and the vote of the house
have set the ball rolling and already
the proposed change has been in-
cluded in several state platforms,
and the drift of public opinion is so
strong in that direction that it can
‘hardly be changed.
