Senator Proctor’s l’lea For a Consti-
tutional Amendment.
TO PREVENT RB-ELECTIONS.
He Would Have Nation’s Chief Executive
Serve For Six Years Only—Such a
Low. He Thinks, Would Produce
a Better Administration.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.——In pursuance of
a notice given last week, Mr. Proctor
(Rep, Vt.), who had just returned from a. .
visit to the president elect, addressed the
senate this afternoon in advocacy of his
proposed constitutional amendment to
make the presidentialterm six years, with
a prohibition of re-election, and to make
the term of representatives in the lower
house three years. The reasons given by
him were these: .
“First—A long presidential term and
ineligibility for re-election are more in ac-
cord with the ideas and purposes of the
framers of the constitution than is the
- present system as it has developed in prac-
tical results.
“Second—The proposed change is not
radical or revolutionary, but is in the line
of true conservatism. It is a change of
the letter to preserve the spirit Of the con-
stitution. , ' .
“ Third.-—-Re—eligibility"is wrong in the-
ory and vicious in practice, for it results in
SENATOR PROCTOR.
the use of the patronage of his office by the
. president for the promotion of his chances
Of re-election or else subjects him to the
imputation of such use. ,
“Fourth—The change will more thor—
oughly divorce the legislative and execu-
tive branches of the government, an end
most strongly desired by the constitution-
al convention.
“Fifth—Even if the present system was
Wise in the beginning, the changed condi-
tions, the growth Of the country in popu-
lation, especially in cities, the great in-
crease in our territory and the growing
danger of sudden popular revulsions make
the change now desirable. ,
“ Sixth—Thereby the business interests
of the country will be saved from such fre-
quent disturbances, and the time and ex-
pense incident to campaigns will be pro-
portionately reduced.
‘ ‘ Seventh—By lengthening the terms of
representatives to three years laws‘ will be
better considered and will have a longer
and fairer trial before their friends go out
Of power in congress.”
Authorities Cited.
. After numerous quotations from public
writers—De Tocqueville, Bancroft, Horace
Greeley, Samuel J. Tilden and others—and
from President Cleveland’s letter of ac-
ceptance Aug. 18, 1884, Mr. Proctor con-
tinued: '
“Re-eligibility is wrong in theory, vi-
cious in practice, and there should be a
prohibition against it. The greatest objec-
tion of which I am aware to this proposed
change is that it might deprive us in time
of great national exigency of the services
of a leader who seems to be peculiarly
equi ed to be at the head of the govern-
ment. Such a thing is possible, yet I can
hardly conceive of an emergency in which
one man and one man only shall be fit to
be at the head of the government, and it is
hard to believe that an emergency will
arise that will last for more than six years,
the term for which a president will be
chosen under the proposed amendment. It
is impossible to perfect any detail ”of a con-
stitutional system so that it may not work
unfavorably in some emergency. Constitu-
tional systems, however, though intended
to cover all exigencies so far oas possible,
are designed more to meet the everyday
life and existence of the government than
some exceptional complication that inay
never occur. The question is, how to safe— .
guard the public interests in the most
cases and in the largest degree; how to ob-
tain the most disinterested administration
of the government from day to day of her
If a single term, with
prohibition of a second, will do that, then
we need not fear the other. In this connec~
tion De Tocqueville says that to reserve an
expedient for extraordinary perils the
country has been exposed to daily dangers.
“ To the objection that re-eligibility is
an incentive to good administration, and
therefore should. not be removed, we answer
that such an argument is as strong for re-
eligibility to a third term and as strong
for re-eligibility to a fourth. - There must
be some final administration in which such
incentive loses its force, and it may as well
be the first.
People Dissatisfied.
“In what I have said of the dangers of
the present situation I speak with great
deference of the great men who have filled
the high office of president, and who have
been candidates for rc-elcction. I doubt
not but that they have been as little influ-
enced and controlled by the selfish consid-
erations mentioned as one placed in so in4
consistent a position could be. The difii-
culty, however, is that the position is ‘in-
hcrcntly an inconsistent and antagonistic
one. One person cannot, in the nature of
things, be a. perfect president and a‘presi-
dential candidate. I believe that the peo-
ple are becoming more and more diseatis-
fied with having the high ofiicc 9f presi—
dent used or having it possible to use it to
‘ prolong the incumbent’s tenure. .They are
becoming more and more dissatisfied with
sccin g presidential campaigns run from
the White House. It will be tried just as
long as it is possible. It will only cease
when the congress and the states by consti-
tutional amendment return to the spirit of
the constitution and the Original plan of
the framers. Then no personal ambition
, of a chief magistrate can ever compete with
his ambition to serve his country well and
leave an honorable record for his adminis-
tration. ” p .

Mills Rbplies to Oluey. 1
After Mr. Prector had'finished Mr. Mills
called up the resolution introduced by him
declaring that the determination of the ex-_
pediency of recognizing theindependence
of a foreign government belongs to con-
gress, and when congress shall so deter-
mine the c:ecutive should act in harmony
‘ with the legislative department of the gov-
crmnents; also recognizing the independ-
' ence of the republic. of Cuba. and appropri—
ating $10,000 for the salary of a minister
thereto, and proceeded to address the sen-
ate upon it.
Mr. Mills began by saying that the sec-
retary of state had challenged the author-
ity of congress to recognize the independ-
ence of a foreign state and had said that a
bill passed over the veto of the president
would be of no effect. .
“I propose to meet that statement, ” he
annOunced. “The authority of congress in
this matter has never been challenged but
once; then the challenger was signally re-
buked, and I have no- doubt he will be
now.” He did not know where the secre-
tary of state found the authority for his
statement. A government must exist be-
fore it could be recognized, for to recog-
nize it a diplomatic officer must be sent to
it. Congress must create the office, had
sole power to create an office and must do
so before the president could send an em-
bassador to a government. .
“ This is a most remarkable statement,”
commen d~ Mr. Mills upon Secretary 01-
ncy’s dec aration, from which be quoted.
“ The re'spect that I have for the secretary
of state and the high office he holds and
for his chief and the high office he holds
rcstrains me from saying more.”
In the House.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.—Intense interest
was manifested in the outcome of the bat-
tle royal over the Pacific railroad fimding
bill today. Before the house convened the
floor was crowded with friends and oppo-
nents of the measure, and members were
standing about in groups arguing the mer-
its of the bill. Such a scene of bustling
activity has not been seen on the floor this
session. The galleriesalso were well filled
with interested spectators.
It required some time to straighten out
the parliamentary situation. Speaker Reed
stated his understanding of the statutes.
There were, he said, no pending amend-
ments to the bill. There were, however,
two substitutes, that of Mr. Harrison of
Alabama to provide for a commission of
three cabinet officers to negotiate a settle-
ment of the debts with the two roads and
the Bell substitute, providing that if the
roads would clear off the first mortgage so
as to advance the government’s lien to the
position of a first mortgage the govern—
ment would agree to an extension of the
period for the payment of the debt at 3 per
cent interest. To the former substitute
there was pending an amendment proposed
by Mr. Northway of Ohio, providing that
the commission created should be appoint~
cd by the secretary of the treasury, secre-
tary of the interior and attorney general,
instead of consisting of those three cabinet
officers. '
The Northwa-y amendment, he said, was
to be voted on first, then the substitutes in
their order. "
If either of the substitutes was adopted,
‘it would, he said, take the place of the
original bill.
After _ some wrangling the speaker’s
statement of the situation was accepted by
the house. The Northway amendment to
the Harrison subétitute was defeated on a
viva voce vote, after which the Bell sub-
stitute was submitted. \Vithout dividing,
Mr. Bell, the author of the substitute, de-
manded a record making vote. His de—
mand was sustained by seventy odd mem-
bers, mostly on the Democratic side, and
the roll was called.
There was a flurry when the speaker
announced the defeat of the Bell substi-
tute—110 to 156. The opposition appeared
somewhat staggered, but it was pointed
out that the California members and others
known to be Opposed to the measure voted
against the substitute. The Harrison sub-
,Istitute was then submitted. On a viva
voce vote the volume of sound was dis-
tinctly against the substitute, and the
speaker was about to declare it defeated
when Mr. Harrison (Dcm., Ala.) demand-
ed the yeas and nays. ‘
The call on the Harrison substitute rc-
sultcd—aycs, 55; nays, 214.
After the Harrison substitute was de-
feated the Opposition decided to make a
final stand on the motion to cngross the
bill and read it a third time. This was a
square test of strength.
Mr. Maguirc’s demand for a roll call
was seconded by a large number of mem-
bers. The interest was intense while the
vote was being taken. This motion was
defeated. — The bill was then finally killed
by a vote of 168 nays to 102 yeas. '

HULL HOUSE :5 so BEGARDED 3v
' THE :POOR OF CHICAGO.
A Thriving University Settlement} flu
Birthplace or Many Reforms t‘Jhich
_Have Made the Nineteenth. Ward Fa-
mous in the Annals of the City. '
Charles J. Hull, the original owner of
the historic residence ’at No. 335 Hal~
sted street that is used for settlement
purposes. When it was erected, in 1856,
the house was a. suburban mansion,
surrounded by open space, at a conven-
ient distance from the city. Now it
minder of times and conditions the
very reverse of those at present exist-
ing in the neighborhood, says the Chi-
cago “Record.” , 3
Hull House is the property of Miss
Helen Culver, the heiress of Mr. Hull.
The use of it, first given to Miss Ad-
dams, a leader of Chicago’s Charla
ties and of the Hull House’organiza‘
tion, has been transferred to the Hull
House trustees. Te existing lease,
permitting the use of the property for
settlement purposes, rent free, does not
expire until 1920._ There is ‘an air of
permanency attaching to the place that
is especially marked in this neighbor-
tion and surroundings.
and Miss Starr took up their residence
at Hull House in 1889, actuated by mo-
tives akin to those that led ArnOld
Toynbee to make his home in East
London a few years previous. The
place gradually ’came to be a social,
intellectual, civic and trade union cen-
tre for the community in which it was
located.
Perhaps the desire and need for such
a center as that afforded by Hull
House was best shown by the intense
eagerness manifested, particularly by
the young. people, .in the organization
of clubs, the love of which is charac-
teristic of the age. Phobably 1,500
persons are connected with the various
clubs meeting at Hull House, to say
nothing of those in attendance at class-
es and lecture courses. '
One of the greatest services Hull
House has rendered to the Nineteenth
curing more efficient garbage inspec-
tion. When the city contracts for re-
moving garbage expired two years ago
Miss Addams decided that She would
herself apply for the contract for
cleaning the ward. She put in a bid
for the work, but her ofier was thrown
out on a technicality. She then at
tempted to secure the appointment of
a garbage inspector to her liking. May-
or Swift offered her the position her-
self, but would not name any one else
of her choice. Consequently Miss Ad-
dams accepted the oflice and the re-
sponsibility it involved, and had the
greatest portion of the work performed
by a deputy, as it was impossible for
her to give her whole time to the task.
Miss Johnson, who acted as deputy, is
a young woman of university educa~
tion and uncommonly good judgment.
She now has the appointment and
her work as inspector has won her ad-
miration in the ward, and from Super-
intendent Bhode, of the Street and Al
ley Cleaning Department, as well. Old
before in their memory have the al-
leys and garbage boxes been kept in
so good condition. The Nineteenth
\Vard, which used to be one of the
dirtiest in the city, and is yet so far
as streets are concerned, is now one
of the most cleanly as regards its al-
leys and garbage collection.
One pressing need of every crowded
community is parks and playgrounds.
Through the activity of residents of
Hull House a play ground has been
provided for the children of that
neighborhood. When William E. Kent
tore down some decaying. buildings
which he own, he gave the use of
the land to Mis’s- Addams as a play
ground for the children. Probably no
park in the city, in proportion to its
size, is used more than this little play-
ground. ,
Hull House residents have been ac-
tive in stimulating the desire for more
artistic surroundings in the public
schools. Miss Starr was instrumental
in organizing the first society in the
West for that purpose, and did much
to induce the Woman’s Club to take
up the matter. Several school houses,
particularly in the neighborhood of
Hull House, have been decorated with
pictures and casts. The society organ-
ized to promote this object decorated
the room in the Goodrich school, which
the Board of Education has adopted as
a standard, to which it hopes to bring
all other school rooms in the city.
Not at All Concerned.
An ex-cdztor present at a recent club
dinner created much amusement by
saying that he once employed a lady
to do the “Answers to Correspon-
dents," says Pearson’s Weekly. ,
To his amazement he found one week
the following: . '
“The reply given last. week was a
mistake. It should have been a quar?
ter of a grain of strychnine—not a
quarter Of a pound. Jay’s is the best
house for mourning.” ‘
