of the owner in regard to its appearance,
or accommodate the capacity of his
purse. They have only one or two
of the seven lamps of architecture in view.
Perhaps the defective construction of build
ings and public works, is more frequently the
fault of the contractor than the architect
less due to the evil plan than to the clumsy
or dishonest way in which it is carried out.
The competition between builders is very
close, and, amid the immense amount OF
work going on, the object of the contractor
is rather to make rapid fortune than to put
up secure building. There is system OF
collusion between architect and builder, very
prevalent in all parts of the country, by
means of which the former acts less as the
agent OF the owner than as the associate OF
the contractor. The supervision of the
work is apt to be careless, and the
mechanic having paid his per centage
for the privilege of sighting his obligations,
takes advantage Of every opportunity TO
slip into building material of an inferior
quality, and stones and beams of smaller
dimensions than his specifications call for.
Reputation in the future is nothing COM
pared with immediate gain. In a new com
munity few firms Of any kind have estsb-
lished character-sach as descends from
father to son in the old countries in particu-
lar trades and occupations. Even more re-
sponsible for the many defective buildings
in the country than the architects who de-
signed, and the mechanics who erected
them, are the owners whose wishes were con-
suited in their construction. A perpstusl
straining after effect, regardless of the means
by which it is attained. is one of the attrib-
utes OF the times. If religious society
decides to put up a church, its members are
rarely satisfied with the kind of edifice their
funds should purchase. They first select
the style of the church they want, then
sacrificing everything to appearance, re-
trench on essential parts OF the building to
preserve its size and beauty. If merchant
wants family mansion, it must have the
fashionable number and style of rooms, and,
as far as the outside shell is concerned, must
be fair and noble, though rotten within.
This perpetual urgency to secure appearances
at all hazards rarely fails to have its effect
Add to all these tendencies the general care
lessness of the age in regard to the sacrifice
of human life which forgives instances of
criminal neglect like that at Mill river dam
and at Syracuse, and it is no wonder that
such disasters recur so frequently.

Presia.nffaI senators.

A correspondent of the Boston Globe, Still
man B. Allen. makes suggestion in regard
to a change in eur government, which will
doubtless meet with good deal of attention.
lie proposes scheme by means of which all
anxiety in regard to the perpetuation of the
office of president by means of executive
patronage is setst rest, and the experience
and a ability ofe retiring chief magistrates,
are forever secured in the service of the pub
lio,. He introduces his proposition with a
di scussion of the evil consequences which
would be inevitable from the election of
any president to sthird term. The progress
from such an event to monarchy would be
10y easy stages. It is proposed, however, to
rest riot, in the first place, every president 10
singh lie term of Office and to lengthen the
'term to period of six years. This propo-
-sition is By no means a new one, and has
not met with very much favor heretofore.
The SECOND portion of Mr.. Aliens proposed
reform, however, disposes of the main argu-
ment against the one term principle while
introducing an entirely novel and original
suggestion. He proposes that every
president, after the close OF his execu.
tive term, instead of passing into the
irkseme inactivity of private life,
shall take his place in the Senate chamber
In that august body his rights and duties
are to be considered as identical with
those Of the present senator's. with the single
exception that he shall be considered as the
representative of the nation at large rather
than the representative of any state, and
that his term of Office shall euly close
with his life. He would bs in me asure
what congressman at large is TO his state
delegation in the lower house. Tt is easy
to understand the advantages of such an ar
rangement. 1t would add dignity and re-
sponsiblity to the already exalted DO
sition of chief magistrate. 1t would
prevent the dangerous and insidious
Vaccinations TO secure a reelection which
at present threaten to overturn our democ-
racy. 1t would preserve as the co ustitu- |
tional advisers of the president, those men
whose actual experience could be made
available for his enlightenment. 1t would |
retain. in the councils of the nation an ele-
ment above ambition, outside of petty local
influences and only anxious to earn fair |
fame and advance the country's good. One
formal objection to this scheme for the crea-
ton of Presidential Senators lies in the fact
that it involves an election for life time
instead of series of years. This objec-
ton is not without force, and it can only be
urged in pslliation that the Supreme Court
judges now hold Office by the same
tenure; that impeachment would be
a security against any unfaithfulness on
the part of the ex.president, whom duty and
q sense of honor failed to rule; and finally
that, as the chief magistrates are generally
old men when they retire, the term of Office
would prove to be briefer in actual expert
meDt than that of the present senators, who
are reelected over and over again. Another
objection may be put, which is even

The politicians are indulging In ingenious
speculations as to themeaning ofthe aPpoint-
ment OF Mr.. Hale to succeed CresweR. The
most reckless guess on the subject seems to
be that he was chosen because he is the par
ticular friend Of Speaker Blaine, and it is'tke
design of the administration 20 throw all rs
infiuencein the scale in favor ofthat gensse-
mans nomination for the presidency. 1t
has become the custom now to explain po-
litical occurrences by means Of some secret,
and not Enfrequently discredftable motive.
There wss tiEne when it would have been
assumed as a matter of course that the pres
ident had chosen Mr.. Hale for postmaster
general simply because he seemed to be the
man most fitted by natural ability and
knowledge of the postal affairs of the coun-
try for performing the duties of the cffice In
a creiitabfestyle. Things are done differ
entIs in these days, however.
