The Piano Contest.
The contest for the EVENING GA-
' isETTE’s $400 piano, is more exciting
than ever tO-day, Hope Hose having
stepped in and taken first position from
‘the Yacht club, while St. Mary’s school
thus materially increased its vote and
gained upon the leaders.
There is, however, a new contestant
fiat this handsome piano who may make
the leaders hustle before the close of
the contest in Juiy. We refer to the
‘Cehtra-l Club that starts tO-day with a
icurtail vote which may rapidly increase
‘before many days. The ladies having
-secured a new club house could. not
ihave a finer piano than the one offered
by the EvENING GAZETTE, to place in
their parlor, and it is dollars to dough-
nuts that they will capture the prize if
.thav working it.
,. Senators by Popular Election.
,- The arguments presented in the re-
?port of the Senate committee on elec-
tiOns in favor of the adoption of a con-
‘ stitutional amendment making Sentors
Melecti‘ve by. a popular vote are not easily
It'toilueoontroverted. It is not intended
Vary ‘this amendment to violate the con-
stitution compromise by which the
smallest state is given equal. power in
the Senate with the largest. The num-
ber of. Senators to which each State is
”entitled will not be affected by the pro-
posed amendment, but only the method
by which they are to be chosen.
The repOrt condenses the affirmative
arguments in favor of the change into
dour principal ones; that the people will
express their preferencesby a direct in-
stead of an indirect method; that it will
destroy the power Of wealth to purchase
Senatorial seats; that it will prevent
deadlocks like those which have within
at year occurred in Delaware and Ker.-
'tucky, and that it will leave the people
"Of elect legislators upon legislative in-
stead of partisan issues, as at present.
In brief, the change is advocated be-
‘cause Senators elected in this way will
Erepresent popular sentiment and be less
disable to secure their seats by direct
Epurchase and because elections will
elect and Legislatures will be allowed
~ "to attend to their legislative business .
of law making solely.
The public will be disposed to admit
{the force of all that is said in favor of
the popular plan of electing Senators,
and if given a chance to vote upon it
there would be very little question of
its adoption.
of sympathy with the Senate for a long
time, and chiefly because the voters
have regarded it as a legislative body
that did not recognize any responsibil-
ity to the people. They are out of
sympathy with the Senate because,
rightly or wrongfully, they believe
Senators to be out of sympathy with
them. and they attribute this lack of
touch with the masses to the method by
which Senators are chosen.
Eloquent and unanswerable as the
committee’s report in favor of the direct
election of Senators may be, we doubt
its adoption at present. The trouble
will not be with the people, but with the
Senate itself. A proposed constitutional
amendment must be adoptediby a two—
Thirds vote of the members of both
houses before it can be submitted to the
Legislatures of the several States for
stratification. There will be too many
Senators who will regard the adoption
”of this amendment as equivalent to leg-
'islating themselves out of office to ren-
~~der its adoption at all probable by the
garment Congress, at least.
Number of Prisoners Small.
At present there are 140 prisoners at
“the County jail, including 10 bound-
aover cases. The number is remarkably
install for this time of, the year. The
“bound overs” will be obliged to wait
until the second week in May for trial,
at which time the Criminal Superior
court will come in with Judge Elmer
’ presiding.
