VOTINOrOR ^(^ATIIi:\ Anarticle in the Spokane Kalis Chroni^^cle of recent date indicates that in^Washington, a* well as in Montana, the^volunteer and amateur constitution-^maker is bu-y making suggestions. The^I'hrouicle notes that nome people there^are urging that a provision be inserted^in the constitution to be framed by the^July convention for the taking of the^sense of the people upon the question of^whom the legislature shall elect to the^I nited states senate. A similar sugges^^tion *^^ regards the future state constitu^^tion of Montana han reached the Isut- Pt.VDK.VT. i^ue injection to the adoption of a pro^^vision of the character indicated i* billed^upon the third article ^^f the constitu^^tion of the I uited States, with which in^^strument the constitution of tha states^mu-t be in harmony. The article de^^clare- that ^the senate of the United^-:ate- -hall be composed of two senators^from each state, chosen by the legisla^^ture thereof, for six years,^ clearly indi-^caiing that the choice of senators shall^lie with the state legislatures, and^with them alone. The state of^Nebraska has attempted to modify the^effect of this article by an enactment^which 'in powers voters to specify upon^their ballots cast at the general election^next preceding an election of a L'nited^States -enator their preference for that^nil.tv, but the result has not been^such as to encourage further attempts in^that direction. Senatorial contests have^as a rule not developed until after the^election of the legislature, and the votes^upou that question have been uui-^foruiall) small^so -mall that the mem^^ber- have uot deemed themselves under^any obligation to pay the least attention^to them. The legislature is not to re^JM^ instruction- from the people; to do^so would be a virtual .indication of its^functions. It is within the memory of^men still young that the legislatures of^several of the state- undertook to in^^struct the l ulled States senators how^they should vote upou certain questions^^notably the impeachment of President^Johnson^but none of the senators so in^^structed paid the slightest heed, exer^^cising their own discretion as they had^r.worn to do. The case of the people as^^suming to direct the votes of representa^^tives in the state legislature is precisely^analogous While tne provision of the^l'nited States constitution stands as^above quoted, the adoption rtf a rule^similar to that in force in Nebraska is^iuadmissable and will not be considered^by an intelligent convention such a- will^assemble in Helena on July 4. Thetalk of making Prince George of^Wales lord lieutenant of Ireland is prob^^ably without much foundation. The^prince has neither the age nor the native^ability that would qualify him for such^a post, and his assignment to Dublin^ca-tka in the present state of affairs in^Ireland would have a bad effect for the^British government. It is probably^however, merely newspaper rumor, for^the recent conrse of the government has^shown that the need of men of experi^^ence in public affairs in that particular^position is fully appreciated. The1' r^^-Miller cattle and beef^trust does not hold out any very bright^hope for the future of the live stock^growers of the west. There is every^indication, on the contrary, that the^benefits of the combination will all ac^^crue to the operators rather than to the^producers. Mr. Miller's connection with^the wood-pulp trust is ominous for the^cattlemen of the protection the wolves^give the sheep. Mr. borsey, too, has not^always been above connection with^monopolies-as in the letting of star^route mail contracts, for example. absorb*the tumors, allays the itching at^once, act* aa a poultice, give* instant re^^lief.

Thenewspapers both of Wyoming and^Idaho are agitating the question of state^^hood, aud there is a strong probability^that conventions will be held in both^territories for the formation of state con^^stitutions.

THEMARKETS PERSONSAND THINGS. i;iioi;nuoia^^k nUSOX,^A proposition is before the legi-lature^of Illinois looking toward the conversion^of ono of the state penitentiaries into a^reformatory, where prisoners may be^classified according to the degree of in^^iquity they may be supposed to have at^tamed. The plan embraces, also, the^uniforming of the different classes in^such a way as to indicate the grades in^which they may have been placed. The^theory, of course, is that there are some^who lind their wav into the penitentia^^ries rather through the force of circum^^stances than because they are hardeued^criminals, and that while contact with^the more vicious inmates of the prisons^may develop in them all the latent vice^of their natnres.a proper regard for their^moral training may result in making^of them useful and honorable members^of society. It is often true that a^niL-take^a momentary passion ^ may^bring a man or woman under the ban of^that divinity who is popularly supposed^to be blind and that if it were not for^that stigma which attaches to a person^who has served a term in prison they^might redeem their reputations aud^thereafter avoid the ways of the crimi^^nal class. W hether the distinction be^^tween a reformatory and a state prison^would be sufficient to alter the situation^may well be doubted. What is needed^in order to enable ex-convicts to regain^a position in society is more tolerance^upou the part of people in general and a^willingness to permit such a person to^demonstrate his intention of leading an^honest life. This condition is closely^allied to the millennial period, which, it^is to be feared, is still far distant. Whatevermay become of the Illinois^proposition, something can aud should^be done in all communities to keep the^young offenders separated from the old^and hardened crimiuals who constitute^the principal portion of the inmates of^county jails. Proper efforts in this direc^^tion will have a tendency to restrict the^recruiting of the ranks of crime from the^youth of the country.
