A Chair for the President.

A curious custom prevails with an old
California trapper aud hunter named Seth
Kinman. In the year 1856 he gave ames
Buchanan, the president elect, chair made
oil the hools and horns of the elk, and has
since given to each succeeding president
chair of curious and unique pattern. To
Abraham Lincoln he gave one similar to
that of buchanan. To Andrew johnson he
gave one made of the skins and claws of the
grizzly bear. At the Centennial short
time ago he presented Gov. Hayes with q
chair, and now has one in waiting for the
president elect. This one is similar to the
Buchanan chair, with the exception that
grizzy's head is concealed under the seat,
which, by touching hidden spring, throws
itself forward and snaps its jaws vlciously
two or three times. We hope that the griz.
zly's head may prove prophetic, not Of an
archy and rebellion directed at the president
as the head of the people, but of the stern
warning of united people to all who may
tamper with the liberties of a free coun-
try, that they are on their guard, ard that
woe will be the portion of the daring med
der with the rights of free people. We
hope it may not be necessary for the grizzly S
head to snap either way.

their respective states and vote by ballot for
president and vice president that lists shall
be made Of the persons voted for for those
offices, and the number of votes for each, and
the lists be nsmitted-signed, sealed, and
certifed-to the president Of the senate
and that the president Of the senate shall, in
the presence Of the senate and house of rep.
resentatives, open all the certificates, and the
votes shall then be counted, the person re.
ceiving the highest number being declared
electcd--provided such number shall be a
majority Of the whole number of electors
appointed. Acts passed in 1892 and
1904 further provided that the electors
for each state shall meet to give their votes
on the first Wednesday in December 10
the year in which they are appointed
tsat they shall make three distinct lists
Of the result Of their ballots, one to be
forwarded by messenger to the president
Of the senate, before the first Wednesday in
January then next ensuing, one to be for
warded forthwith by the post Office TO the
president OF the senate, aud one to be deliv-
cred to the judge Of the district ia which
the electors may assemble; and that con-
gress shall be in session on the second We'd
nesday in February succeeding the meeting
Of the electors and the certificates received
shall be opened, the votes counted, and the
persons to fill the offices Of president aud
vice president ascertained and declared.
Now, there is great difference OF opinion
as to who shall open and couat the electoral
votes, and who shall accept or throw out the
states in which the election is claimed to be
unfair
Senator Morton, one Of the best authori.
ties on the subject, assumes that according
to the co n tuition, congress Is present. at
the count only as witnesses, not as sole
judges, and when they cannot agree the
president of the senate has sole charge and
decision over the count. Others insist that
the old rule OF 1865, known as tho 22d
joint rule, and which gives the vote in charge
of both houses Of congress, is now in force.
This in close vote like the present, aud
when the power is SO closely divided between
the two parties, is likely to be productive Of
much evil, On the other hand, placing the
power 10 the hand Of one man, who must of
necessity be an active partisan Of one side
or the other, is also to be avoided if possible.
Altogether it is a very pcrplexing situation
and it is to be hoped that some way will be
found by which to escape the dilemma. 1t
is unfortunate that congress did not provide
for this at its last session, but it is now too
late unless something can be agreed upon by
the two houses at its next session, before the
time comes to count the votes.

Some Of our Centennial visitors claim to see
signs Of Improvement in the American stock

The stock ought to improve in America,
at all events. Generally speaking, it has
plenty to eat and to wear. The popular
diet is slowly improving the salt pork,

the American farmer, is interrupted more

perhaps nowhere in the world so generally

the abominable condment Of preserves

addition Of the tomato alone, which is al.
most unknown to Europe, and which has
reached its present wide consumption in this
country almost entirely within 80 years, as

mense value 10 American health. Within
half that time has sprung up a more general
attention TO physical exercise in the schools

not yet arrived at that era when man who

One great occasion for improvement in the
public health is the abandonment Of the use
Of alcohol. There can scarcely be any ques.
ton that among the better classes there is
less consumption Of ardent spirits thaH for.
merly. "For 80 years." says Dr. George NJ.
Beard, "the better classes have been grow
ing more and more temperate" Wine APP
pears on more tables proportionally perhaps
than was the case, half century ago, but
there is less "treating" and less flip and
Jamaica rum consumed in the same social
circles The Lancet, the English medical
authority, speaking Of the use Of alcohol
lately, is very cautious indeed it says that,
as food, alcohol "is not shown to have any
special advantages" as a stimulant to d.
gestion the amount really needed, if any is
needed is very small, aud should be taken
at meals and that call use Of alcohol be.
tween meals should be absolutely prohibited"
Now it was "between meals" that the fathers
INDUCED, aud that it behooves everybody to
cease indulgence.
But it is also true that the fathers could
"stand more" than we can Of certain d.
seases, among which was inebriety. Dr.
Beard makes useful distinction, calling
inebriety u disease, aud drunkenness vice.
The inebriate drinks periodically, aud often
hereditarily, almost without temptation aud
against his will. Its disease Of the nerves,

the neuralgia and the hay fever, which are
also functional nervous diseases. These
diseases prevail among the cultivated and
refined classes no case Of hay.iever was
ever found in the t5nemeut house population
Of New York. Now this incbric,y is in.
creasing among the branworking classes, be-
cause the nervous system is becoming more
sensitive. This is not the same as saying
that the nervous system is deteroratng, for
the more highly sensitzed it becomes the
longer is the duration of life. Nervousness, -
to quote DIR. Beard again, ais an aid and
friend to longevity, protecting the system
from many acute aud fatal Diseases" but
inebriety, acting on nervousness as a base,
rapidly undermines the system. This is not
so paradoxical as 1t seems at first thought

Of him as a man and ruler. There was a
great cutlery made against the order for
troops in South Carolina and yet now the
election is over, the cry seems to have been
made only for political effect, and those who
we're loudest in their denunciation Of the
president, in their sober thoughts commend
him for the course so wisely taken. For it
is now evident that much fairer vote was OBJ.
tanned than if the soldiers were not present.
A very serious riot was prevented by their
presence at one place as it was several
were killed on each side.
Another good thing by the president
was the order to see that perfect fairness
was observed by both parties at the con-
tested election in Louisiana. judging from
the tone of that dispatch, the president is
determined that his successor shall be fairly
elected, no matter which party he represents.
Though the course Of the president has
been marked by many serious mistakes,
they may be overbalanced by great num-
Der Of official virtues. Very few regard
U. S. Grant as a dishonest man, and as a
prominent democrat said after reading the
presidents order in regard to the election
in Louisiana, at is good thing. We do
not wish to remember President Grant in the
same spirit in which we have lately regarded
him, and l hope he will do one or two things
like those letters, so that we can send him
out Of the presidency in burst of glory"

PALACES REPUrED.-A couple of fal
laces are ruthlessy reluted by that icono.
elastic sheet, the Rutland Globe. Olc is,
that Senator Ferry, or any one else, will be
President for a day on account Of March
18th next falling on Sunday. 1t seems that
the fourth day OF March happened on Sun.
day in 1871, at the close Of President Mon
roe's first term, and the question OF an Sin
terrcgnum" was raised, and to set the matter
at rest, Chief Justice Marshall was appealed
to for advice. lie was emphatic in the opn-
ion that "the President not only could but
must remain in office until his successor was
duly inaugurated," and he did. The fourth
day OF March again occurred on Sunday in
1919 when James X. Folks term of Office
expired and that of Zachary Taylor com.
menced but the Senate did not even take
the trouble to elect President pro tempore
to hold over from the Thirtieth to the Thir-
ty.trst Congress.
1t has been said that March 18th was Sc
lected for Inauguration day because that
date would fall on Sunday less frequently
than Others This is not so. The day fixed
by the Congress Of Confederation "lor COM
mencing proceedings" under the constitution,
happening to fall on March 18th, that day,
by common consent and usage, but without
the sanction Of law, has been adopted for
the commencement of new administrations
Too fixing ofthe day has been the result
Of accident, aud not design, aud has not
even the sanction Of law.

Counting the Electoral Vote.

There has been great deal Of talk about
the present system OF counting the votes
of the electoral college. 1t was everywhere
conceded that there were grave faults in it,
and many ways were devised to remedy them.
OF these, senator Morton's offered at the
last session of congress, was undoubtedly the
most feasible Yet for some reason no &C.
ton was taken upon the question, though a
great deal Of debate was had.
The following extract gives the method
provided by the constitution
The constitution provides that each state
shall appoint number Of electors equal to
the whole number of senators and represen-
tAtives in congress to which the state may
be entitled that the electors shall meet IN
