It costs something to be elected to the Brit
ish House of Commons. In recent contest in
Yorkshire the legitimate expenses of the sue
cessful candidate were officially reported at
53.615, while the unsuccessful antagonist had
had to pay 81, ,l69. A member Of Parliament
receives no salary or pecuniary allowance OF
any sort; and in case Of u contested election
the sitting member defends his right at his
own expense, save In some exceptional eases,
when the contestant has to pay the costs Of
both parties. Though the sums paid by the
Yorkshire aspirants for legislative honor>
were rather extravayant, there are Senator.
and Governors in this Republic who have
spent much larger sums in their election; but

The following, from the pom Of VIM. 7.
Tlnsley, OF the Lyons IN. W Republican,
will be appreciated by newspaper editors
who have been victims Of the nuisance Of
which the writer complains
at is common for certain classes OF people
10 look upon newspaper editors as dead
heads" par eboellcnce. But the truth IL, there
IA no class OF people 80 remorselessly and
continuously hlched from and imposed upon
by dead-hesdlsm In myriad shapes as these
very newspaper editors themselves. We will
give an Instance or two, by way oil illustra-
ton.
There is the man who has patented new
sort Of thlugumbob for regulating the heat
Of stoves. He comes 10 US with q specimen
OF his thlngumbob, and tells us II Il the great
est blessing ever Invented; II will save lots Of
money for poor people; only let u get Into
general use, and the community Will rise up
and call him blessed. He wants US to publish
his invention through our columns for moth
Ing, he posters us with II, till we are strongly
tempted TO rise up and call him the reverse
of blessed, and show him the door. How
ever, we don't; we are too good-naturcd aud
too overwhelmingly polite. We don't even
tell him he Is n dead-head.
There are the associations that get up
schemes for benevolent purposes. OF course,
the editor must do their advertising for moth
lug; II won't cost him anything 10 give
them free notice. Perhaps he obliges them,
and perhaps he Shove them his advertising
rates. Some OF them, no doubt, are very ex-
cellent people, and really believe themselves
In tho right. Whatever else they are, how
ever, they are dead-heads.
There are the temperance societies and
missionary associations, and moral-retorm
agencies, aud associations for the furnishing
OF tho Hottontos with flannel drawers and
cod-liver oil. Can you ask us 10 pay for ad-
vertldng7 Can you refuse to pot In our no
tlces Of meetings, aud so on, aud have the
hardlhood TO ask Us for money when the poor
Hottentots arc perishing with coldF Ger.
tainly not, dear desd-heads. Fetch on your
notices, we will print them, provided they
are not too long; bat remember you are dead
heads."
