1VASniXGTO.-, T. C, Jan. 16. The pop
ular movement for the election of United
States Senators by a vote of the people is
destined to be one of the most important
subjects discussed by the Fifty-second Con
gress. It seems likely to be the one real
siihjcct of national interest upon which
party lines are not to be drqwn, and from
this fact the advocates of the proposed re
form derive great encouragement of ultimate
succes-s.
"While it is probably true that of the
dozed joint resolutions on the subject in
troduced in the two Houses, or in course of
preparation, most of the authors are Demo
crats, yet several of the most emphatic ad
locates of the constitutional amendment
are promineJt Bepnblicans. Senator Pal
mer, of Illinois, who has long stood as the
exponent of this popular principle in the
"Ven, and who ascribes his election solely
to the favor with which the people of
Illinois received the new theory, w ill take
charge of the reform movement in the Sen
ate, while Representative Johnson, the Ke
riublican Representative from Xorth Da
kota, will be the most aggressive advocate
f the constitutional amendment in the
House.
In Representatives Brjan, of Xehraska,
Ei.loe, of'Tennessee, Springer, of Illinois,
and Miller, of AVisconsin, he will have
w arm co-operation, but to Representative
Johnson will probably be conceded the
le.tdersliip of the new movement, because of
Ins oft-repeated assertions that to a viola
tion of that principle was solely due his de
leat in the memorable Senatorial contest in
the Stote of 2Cortii Dakota.
.Imitation in the Committee Itonm.
The House Committee on Election of
President, Vice President and Representa
tive iu Congress, at a meeting to-day, gave
special attention to the various propositions
lor a constitutional amendment providing
irr the elctioa of United States Senators
by direct vote of the people of the respec
tive States. The committee Mas addressed
bv Representatives Miller, of Wisconsin;
Bryan, of Nebraska; Enloe, of Tennessee,
and Johnson, of Xorth Dakota, all
ot whom have propositions of this kind
pending before the committee. The
joint resolution which Mr. Miller nrjred
propo-c a constitutional amendment giv
ing one United States Senator to each
fatate, priuarily. and an additional Senator
lor e.-ch 1,000,000 of inhabitants, all to be
elected directly by the people. Of course,
this would work a very radical change in
deed in the composition of the United
States Senate, but Mr. Miller contended
that the smaller States had a disproportion
ately largely representation iu the Senate,
and that his scheme would secure a more
equitable representation.
The other three speakers directed their
arguments generally to the broad question
ot the advisability of election of Senators
by the direct vote of the people rather than
by the present methods, and then more
speci6cally to the points in favor of the
means proposed by them to bring this abont.
They said the present method enabled men
- to be elected to the Senate who could not be
elected by a popular vote, and who did not
represent the sentiment of their people.
Corruption Tar Too Prevalent.
Corporate influences, it was urged, were
too potent a factor iu the election of Sena
tors by the Legislatures. Attention was
called to the frequency or charges of cor
ruption and bribery made during and subse
quent to elections of United States Sena
tors. Mr. Enloe, of Tennessee, said that while
those investigations which had been made
into charges of corruption in the election of
Senators had generally been fruitless, yet
there was no doubt in the minds of thinking
and reading men that there was a substan
tial foundation for the charges in many in
stances. Mr. Powers, of Vermont, asked Mr. En
loe it popular elections might not result in
ending less able men to the Senate, atfd if
the present method did not secure the ser
vices of men of ability, who pcrhajis could
not be induced to take part in a political
contest such as was incident to elections.
Mr. Enloe said it might possibly occur
occa-Jonally, as it sometimes did iu all
public elections, that men of inferior capa
city might be chosen to the Senate, but
that the country would suffer less to have a
lool in the Senate for six years than to
liat e a corrupt scoundrel.
J)iflernces or Proposed Initiation.
The three constitutional amendments
offered by Messrs. Brvau, of Nebraska;
Enloe, of Tennessee, and Johnson, of North
Dakota, difier in this, that Mr. Brvan's
amendment proposes that Senators shall be
tltcted by direct vote onlv in such States
as turouch their proper legislative ma
chinery decide to elect Senators in this man
ner, while Messrs. Enloe and Johnson pro
jmse that the iic.v method shall be compul
sory as to all States on the adoption of the
proposed amendment
Mr. Bryan said that the argument in
favor of the adoption of his amendment was
that the prospects of its adoption were
greater than it it made a cnange compul
sory. States which did not care themselves
to change their method of election of United
States Senators might be willing to agree to
rn amendment which would give to such
States as preferred that method the richt to
eb cl Senators by airect popular vote. The
friends or the amendment believed that the
result ol the election of Senators by direct
"oie would be such as to popularize' the new
iceiiioa even in tnose States which were not
now willing to make the change, and that in
time the change would commend itself to
all the States, and gain all that could be
gained by a compulsory amendment, while
not arousing the antagonism that might be
lelt to an amendment requiring each State
to change its present method.
One of the ArcumenU .Sensational.
Mr. Enloe argued that if it were a good
thing to elect Senators by direct vote in one
State.it was certainly a good thing to elect
them in this maimer in all the States. The
necessity was great wherever corporate in
fluences became strong.
Theargument of Mr. Johnson was almost
sensational, because it contained much of
.us present experience. He stated that he
vrs lne republican caucus nominee for
I'nited States Senator at the last Senatorial
election in his State, but that he was de
. sled by a corrupt combination. It might
..e only a limited view to take of the ques
tion before the committee, but his experience
would illustrate the argument. He had se
cured the party nomination fairly, and as
his party was in a majority in the State
Legislature he felt confident of election.
He was approached, he said, by the attor
ney of a railroad corporation, and told that
to make his election certain it was neces
sary that he give an assurance that he would
favor a certain man as Judge for that dis
trict. The attorney said that the railroad
bad secured the election of seven or eight
members of the Legislature and controlled
their votes. If he would give the assurance
desired he would be elected without a
doubt.
Beaten Because He Wns Honest.
Mr. Johnson said that he did not consider
it honorable to enter into a bargain of -that
sort, declined to give the assurance asked,
and the result was that he wa defeated.
Yet at tbat time lie was the acknowledged
choice of the people of his State for United
States Senator, as well as the choice of his
party, and would have been elected but for
the people's will being thwarted by corrupt
corporate influences.
The committee adjourned until next week,
when Mr. Springer, of Illinois, will make
on argument in favor of the same uroposi
tion. It is the belief of the authors of the
various resolutions that a majority of the
committee is in favor of reporting one of
the propositions back to the House with
the recommendation that it be adopted by
the House.
PRINTERS HAVE A CHAMPION.
Congressman Scott Wants .the Stamped En
velope Iinslnes Restricted.
"Washington', D. C, Jan. 16. Repre
sentative Scott, of Illinois, has introduced
a bill prohibiting the Postoffice Department
from selling stamped envelopes bearing the
nsual printed request for return to the
owner after a limited period. "Underhe
present law," says Mr. Scott, "the Govern
ment is a direct competitor with every
printing house in the country. It is not
only a competitor, but it gives itself a
monopoly. The Government fur
nishes the envelopes stamped and
printed for the same price as they are fur
nished without the return card. "This is an
unwarranted trespass by -the Government
upon the private business of every printer
in the United States. If this is fair and
legitimate, why should not the government
go into the business of printing deeds and
mortgaees? Why not make cotton eoods at
cost and furnish them to consumers? Why
not go into any other branch of private
business? It cannot be seen why the printer
should be thus discriminated against
"This bill does not ask protection or
favors for the creat printing industry of
the cotwtrr. It simply asks the Govern
ment to take its strong arm off and give it a
fair chance. Many millions of dollars an
nually are by this act taken from the print
ing business. This does not seem fair or
just. It is asserted that this law secures a
better return of letters. The class of per
sons who use these envelopes are
bankers and others who are not sus
pected of inability to keep their cor
respondence in good shape. The
government refuses to let 'Sam Jones,
Hardware Merchant, Podunk, Ind.,' ap
pear, because it advertises his business. If
he can see through a barbed wire fence
and he usually can he simply says, 'Re
turn after ten'days to the Sam Jones Hard
ware Company, Podunk, Ind.' This is le
gitimate, and goes. The Government should
take its hands off and not oppress one of the
greatest and mo:t important industries ot
our country."
GENERAL "WHEELER INSULTED.
lie "Wants It Distinctly Understood That He
7s No Monkey.
"Washington, D. C, Jan. 16. .fijwrial.
General Joe Wheeler, of Alabama, the
great cavalry general of the late Confeder
acy, is determined to force an apology from
Congressman Boutclle, of Maine, who re
ferred to the General on the floor of the
House veslerdav as a monkey. Mr.
Boutelle must have realized when he held
the General up to ridicule that there would
be trouble, for three times General Wheeler
has challenged men for slighter offenses.
General Wheeler was not on the floor at the
time.but as soon as he was informed of what
Mr. Boutelle liail said abant him, he told
Jude Culbertson, of Teias, that he would
not let the matter pass unnoticed. Since
then General Wheeler has kept in conceal
ment from newspaper men.
Conservative Southern Congressmen say
that while General Wbeeler is impetuous,
they don't believe he would be so indiscreet
as to issue a challenge, although he is a firm
believer in the code. They think he will
content himself by waiting until Monday,
and, rising to a question of personal
privilege, a insult the gentleman from
Maine in return. This will place Mr.
Boutelle on the defensive, and if he should
send the challenge, General Wheeler would
not be the man to refuse to accept it.
NEW BTJLES JOB. THE HOUSE
Considered Testerday, at a Conference
11-ld TMth Speaker Crisp.
Washington, D. C, Jan. 1C The Dem
ocratic members of the Appropriations
Committee and the Speaker had a confer
ence on the subject of a code of rules for the
Fifty-second Congress, this afternoon, in
tne rooms of Speaker Crisp. One change in
the rules 'under consideration having in
view the checking of filibustering tactics,
seeks the abolition of the practice of defeat
ing measures on "suspension Mondavs," as
the days on which bills may be passed by a
two-thirds vote is known, by introdncing
long bills and calling for their reading in
full, the purpose being, of course, to con
sume the day with introductions of bills.
Another proposed modification is the
adoption of the Reed rule constituting 100 a
quorum of the committee of the whole, but
it is an open question whether or not this
change will be recommended. There will
be some definition of what motions shall be
considered dilatory motions. The practice
of counting a quorum will, of course, find'
no place in the new rules. Later in the
day the Democrats of the Rules Committee
also had a conference with the Speaker.
The Boarman Charged Referred.
Washington, D. C, Jan. 16. Mr.
Culberson, Clerk of the Committee on
Judiciary, has referred the resolutions re
lating to tiie charges against Judge Boar
man, of Louisiana, to a special comraitte of
five consisting ot Mr. Oates, of Alabama;
Mr. Bynum, of Indiana; Mr. Buchanan, of
Virginia; Mr. E. B. Taylor, of Ohio, and
Mr. Powers, of Vermont."

cated an increase ot 8380,000 in the appro
priations for the homes this year.

MINISTERS TO PREACH ABOUT IT
rpTXCTAT. IIUORAK TO THE DISPATCH. 1
Kingston, Jan. 1G. Much indignation
was aroused here to-day in fashionable
social circles over the presentation of a pro
test against the holding of a Kirmess. A
movement to build a public hospital was
started here about a year ago. To raise
funds by subscription and otherwise the
ladies organized a Hospital Aid Society,
and have been doing good work.
A few weeks aso steps were taken to
hold a grand Kirmess with a view of largely
swelling the hospital fund. The services of
Miss Margaret McLeager, of Newburg,
who so successfully conducted such enter
tainments throughout the country was: ob
tained, and a mass meeting of ladies
and gentlemen was called for this
afternoon in the Common Council
chamber to make preliminary arrange
ments. It had been rumored throughout
the week that a petition vas being circu
lated by the clergy in opposition to the en
tertainment, but many were loath to be
lieve that the pastors would agitate the
question when tnev became convinced that
tne leading members of their churches
favored the Kirmess.
The meetins this afternoon was largely
attended by the leaders of Kingston society,
who were willimr to do what thev could to
"make the affair a success. The Rev. Will
iam Shaw was present and read a protest
denouncing in harsh terms the Hold
ing of the Kirmess, on the grounds
that it would be immoral, dan
gerous to health and injurious to the
community. Half a dozen Protestant
clergy signed the petition, among the num
ber being the Rev. J. B. Yan Stvke,
D. D., pastor of the First Dutch
Church, and the Rev. C. Stanton Stowits,
of the Rondout Presbyterian Church,
one of the finest of that denomination along
the Ifndson. Prof. Callahan, Principal of
the Kingston Academy, and Prof. Henry
D. Darrow, a local educator of many years'
standing, were also on the list.
Several of the gentlemen in attendance
strongly condemned the course taken by the
clergy and severely criticised the imputa
tion of immorality. Pastor Shaw, finding
that the meeting was unanimously in favor
of the Kirmess, hastily took his
departure. An execntive committee
of 11 of the most prominent
ladies and gentlemen were appointed to
proceed with the preparations. "In the
meantime the pastors will trv to arouse the
feelings of the people through the pulpit,
and a war between fashionable society and
the clergy is looked for.

THERE'S a great many manufacturers at the end of every season have
to sell balance of their stock at a good deal less than cost. Not because
they're hard up. Not at all. (Why, many of them are millionaires.)
But simply as a matter of business expediency. They've made mistakes
produced too many goods. Nine-tenths are sold with a fair profit, and like
level-headed merchants as they be, rather than risk change of fashion and
material, depreciation in value, tying up of capital, etc., the other tenth,
with one bold master stroke of sound mercantile policy, is let go for what it
will bring in spot cash. We're onto every racket that'll bring "grist to our
mill" and first-class merchandise to our customers, at such prices as'll make
a little $1 bill easily do the work of two. We're on the hunt all the time for
bargains. When we secure them, depend upon it, we'll let you know, and
that, too, with no uncertain sound.
