20 are Indebted to the Lincoln
art association, Of Washington, D.
O. for a splendid ine-eDgraved por-
trait Of Mr.. Lincoln. The engraving
Is by Fl. Gugler, and is copied from
Littlefeld's portrait, the most perfect
IN existence Of the lamented martyr.
All Of Mr. Lineoln's friends, includ-
ing his son and his former law part
nor, Mr.. Herndon. unite in testifying
that the engraving has not its equal
for fidelity to the original portrait, as
well as in the delieaey and complete
ness With which every part of the
work mas been done. Mr.. Littlefeld
himself is President of the Associa-
ton and has spared no pains to make
the engraving the finest. as work of
art. which has ever been offered to
the people.
We understand that Mr.. s. n.
Decker has been appointed agent for
Evansville, and will canvass the city
for subscribers. We think he will
secure ! large number. for every

TIE Democratic papers have very
generally expressed dissatisfaction
with the action Of the recent Immi-
grafton Convention at Indianapolis,
ia Hhich the government was asked
10 interfere for the protection Of the
immigrants against the rapacity of the
Tammany sharks, who levy a tax of
$50 dollars and half per head upon
each immigrant who lands at Castle
Garden. This tax, amounting in the
aggregate to an immense sum, was no
doubt, mainly consumed in aiding the
Tammanyites to perpetuate their
power in the city and State. Oh
course the New York delegates to
ths Convention fought hard to
retain this odious and iniquitous tax,
and when they found the thing could
Los b3 done, withdrew from the
Convention in high dudgeon. The
promptness with which the Demo,
cratic papers of the West defend the
New York Shyloeks, display a sub.
sergieney to the dietation Of the Tam
many leaders which looks bad for Mr.
Hendrisz's prospects for the Demo

Governor Hoffman is his opponent, al

The ELECTORAL Vote.

Mr.. Lawrence, of Ohio. has intro.
duced i'm the Houseof Representatives
O proposed amendment tn the Con
stitution OF the United States, pro.
vlding that Presidential Electors
shall he elected ON several tickets,
instead of on joint ticket, "a here
tofore; that the two Electors to
which each State is entitled, by
virtue of its representation i'm IN"
Senate, shall be chosen ON a joint
ticket by the electors of the State at
large, and that the remaining Flee
tors, equal to its entire number of
Representatives in Congress, shall be
chosen, one from each Congressional
District. Under this mode of elec-
ton the vote Of the State at large
would only determine the choice of
two of the Electors, and the re-
mainder would be determined lay the
vote in each congressional District.
The vote of Every State,-instead of
being thrown solid one way or the
other, according as might he deter.
mined by the majority, perha ps, of n
few hundred i'm the State,-would he

Those condemning the system have
advanced their theories, bat have de.
veloped nothing that thinking per.

for what we now bave. Some say it
is ON unjust expense, Others that
three Com issioners would do the
business much better, others that the

ferable. All of which remind us

reason that the best is always good

that four towns now contain half the

twenty-s' ven towns fourteen have

There are thirty>three Congregation

fourteen settled pastors. Five OF
these churches have no regular ser
vice, and fourteen hire clergymen

twenty six Congregational churches,
and twenty three pastors. The
membership in these churches has
increased only thirty four in the last
forty years, being 4,544 IN 1929, and
4.57S iu 1869. In ten of the churches
the membership is less than fifty

Canada.

The Chicago Tribune thinks that
populat feeling in Canada is more
hostile 10 annexation now, than it
was thirty.five years ago. The 2ri-
bupe bases its statement on the fact
that, though their progress is slow in
material prosperity, they are unwill-
ing to concede that the activity Oh
one side of the line and the stagna-
ton on the other, have any relation
TO the respective political systems.
1t is nevertheless true that Canada is
of hardly more Importance to-day
than il was during the American
Revolution.
If Canada would move forward
