A Change Needed.
One hundred and three years ago. in Mi-r
of 1767, representatives • I all the thtr
original State excepting one. net it 1
adelphia to revise the Article - * of Con.' r
atinn that formed their Bond of I nion;
and by the 17th ot the following Sep'<m
'er. they had formulated and signed aCV •
ttiiution for the United Stat*' 1 f America,
ia order to form a more perfect nnior..
establish justice, insure donatio tranquil
lit y. provide for the common def nee, pro
mote the general welfare, and secure the
blewdngs f liberty to ■ rselves and < :
j posterity."
The d«' "gates were men oi patriot:--.:
and political in.-:ght, George ■Wa-hinj'.-n
was President cf the Convention,and though
they had no precedent to gui;lo them, tli< r
work, which adopted by ail the Stut. .
and which ha stood the severe ti .-Is of t'
remarkable expansion of the Nat:on :: <1
the conflicting intare-t- of the diS'-rer.'
section-, has pr-'-'ed their wondert i wis
dom
The Constitution a;- -igned by theui. ex
cepting the change made in tbe mode of
electing Presidents and Vice-President-,
and with the Amendments that the cnu.e
of events bare made necessary, is yet tl.o
snpieme law of the Xat;'»n, and pr<-.'»il>ly
will be for many centuries to come, ex
cepting a fnrther change that sheuld be
made in the election of Pr -idc-nts a.l
Vice-Presidents, and also a change in the
method of electing United States Senator'.
At the time of Lbe formation of t!.< Ci-i
stilution there were no telegraphs and rail
roads to disseminate the news • f the world,
people did not read of, discuss, a:.d con
sider the affairs of the Nation as they do
now, the judgment of the masses on in;
portant subjects, and a? to the proper per
sons to fill the highest positions was n< t to
he relied upon, and therefore the framcr.-
of the Constitution placed the selection of
the officers named in the hands of electors
and State Legislatures, and by tais mitb- 1
men have been elected President who re,i
relented a minority of the whole Nati".',
; and in the different States men have been
elected to the United States Senate, and
are members of that body to day who liuve
neither a personal following among the
lieople, nor the requisite qualifications r,, r
[ the office, but who can and do secure their
j positions by the nse of money-and patron-
I age.
The Senators wer? made elective by the
.State Legislatives for six years; they wen
divided into clstsef, so as to secure t..>e
election of one-third of their number every
two years, and they were given concnrre-it
jurisdiction with the President ;n the roam
ing of treaties with other nations, and the
•election of all the important Federal
officers.
Next after the President the office oi
Senator is the most responsible, a: ! nn s:
powerful in the Government, and no man
in the Nation has a greater influence for
good or evil than a United States Senator
By this method of electing D. S. Sena
tor? some thirty-three men have, since the
organization of tho Government, beet,
honored and trusted by the Legislature of
this State with seats in the Senate of the
United States.
Some of them are known to have been
great men, an honor and a credit to tit l,
State, while of others there is a difference
of opinion.
A Cuited Slates Senator is to be chosen
by the Legislature "I Pennsylvania, tl. t
meets at Hariisburg next month, to fill tli«
seat now (ecupied, or at least owned, by
J. D mald Cameron, whose term expire
the following March; and as he is a candi
date for re-election, and as a poweruii
effort will be mode in that direction, his
qualifications for the office, and his claim
upon the people of the State for their eon
tinned J'.ivor are proper and pertinent snh
j sets for dtseu-sion at this time.
"Who is J. Donald Cameron?''
Ask that question of any hundred in
telligent men of this State, and the answer
of ninety-nine of them will be, "Why, he
is the sou of his father, Simon Cameron,
dee'd," or words to that effect.
And who was Simon Caiaorouf
Well, Simon Cameron from all we cm
learn wan a remarkable man. lie Bt&rtc.l
in life a poor boy, learned the printing
trade, au'l made bis own way in the world
and in politics till 1845, when a Democratic
Legislature elected-him to fill the place id
the U. S. Ben ate made vacant by the
resignation of James Buchanan, who went
into President I'olk's Cabinet.
Judge Woodward and Simon Cameron
i were the candidates before the Democratic
caucus for the position; Woodward v.ou,
Cameron bolted and with the aid ol the
Whigs was elected.
In 1857 the Legislature was Democratic
by a majority of livo on joint ballot, and
John W. Forney was the Democratic
caucus nominee for Senator, and Cameron
was that of the Republicans. On election
day three Democrats, named Lcbo, Wagon
seller and Mencar, voted for Cameron, and
he was again elected to the Senate. Tie
Democrats claimed that be had bribed the
three Democratic legislators, arid there wu>
a great fuss made,' but Camerou held bis
*eut till he resigned it to enter Lincoln'--
cabinet, ns Secretary of War, a position
that he did not liii to the satisfaction of
the President ana tho party, and when the
Uouhc of Representatives at Washington
pa- ted a vote of censure upon him for some
scandal regarding the giving of contracts
for army supplies be resigned, and Lincoln
sent him U> St. Petersburg.
In 18G3 the Legislature of Tcnn'a wti
again Democratic and this timo by but. one
(1) of a majority on joint ballot. Chas. li.
Pnckab'W was tho Democratic candidate
for Senator, at.d Cameron was the Repub
lican candidate. It was rumored that
Cameron Lad secured the vote of a Demo
cratic member name I Iloyer, of Clearfield
Co , and on election day a train load of
I'hUadelphia toughs, under the lead of a
man named McMullen, surrounded the
Capitol building at Harriabnrg, and
! thronged the corridor., and galieii . with
' orders to kill any Democrat who voted lor
Cameron, (jud under this intimidation
every Democratic member voted for Duels
alew and he was elected.
In IP!" Camerou beat Thaddet Stevens,
the greater commoner that lis ever rep -
seutc-d aii> Congressional district of tl. -
Slate in Congress; the leader of the Hou<-e
at Washington during the war and the
man who originated some of the great
measures that carried us though the war;
in thi, Republican caucus at narrisbur;;
for the nomination for Senator, and of
ooarsi was then elected; though the fact ol
his w :::uing in caucus maker one wonder
what sort of stliif Republic tu Icgielalors
were made of at that time. There was a
scandal regarding tho affair, and au inves
tigation, but it amounted to nothing.
In 1K73 Cameron was re-elected and held
the olfiee till 1877, when ho resigned, and
suclvwas the power of the "machine" In
had built up while in control of the
Federal p«tr< nage of the State,that he bad
the power and did, with the consent of a
subservient legislature, turn the office over
to his -on, w ho w as not known to have anj
qnalifications whatever for the office, and !
nad little or uo personal following.
Taough not kuowu as either a statesman I
or orator, Simon Cameron held the office |
of L. S. Senator from Pennsylvania for lti j
years, and al the end .of that time turned ,
the office over to his ->on, by means ot w hat
Don, cit a public reception held at bis
house tnu evening after his election, styled
their "impregnable organization."
Ho never submitted his came to the
people but ouce in his life, and that wa
lor Congress, and he was beaten, aud yet
by his judicious distribution of pr.trouage,
aud insight iuto human nature in the sclcc-
tion of his agents in each" county or d:*- j
tri.-t. he perfected the organisation that !
controls the KepnMican State nomination.-*

enactment of law. This liberal ei large
mcnt of the general law should .suggest a
nor;' earefnl scrutiny of bills for r nee in I
relief, both as to Lue cases where relief is
g; mted and -to the amount allowed."
O; th • M' Kinly lan he say :
"ihe ippr.'i -ion that <or tariff may
agai:i and at once b«* subjected to important
general ci. inges would undoubtedly add a
depressing influence of the mont serious
character."
"The g'-nenl Tarifl' act has only partial

at r'.-o jt>! Hi the future. The general

not taken of the fact that the general

tcrili lcgHatio:.." The enlargement of our
currency by lh<? .Silver bill undoubtedly
gave an upward tendency to trade and had
.i marked effect on prices; but this natural
dii'.l ilesir-'d i fleet of the silver legislation
was b\ ntanv erroneously attributed to the
Tarifl "
•■'i here i» neither wisJmn nor Justin- i 1
the that the subject of tarili re

a fair trial. It is quite true that ever tiriflf
