THE WORLDS COMMERCIAL MA.

Commerce, after all, is the great civilizer
III human nature could be analysed like a
clod, the fact would be arrived at that greed
is one OF its chief constituents. 4 desire for
gain is the great force-it is moving the
world. This unceasing reaching for more
even after enough has been secured. keeps
alive the commercial spirit that is subduing
wildernesses penetrating savage countries
and inhospitable chimes. Commerce is ag-
grcssive. 1t has no halting places except to
gather fresh strength. forever seeking
for new commodities and new markets. Il
confronts all nations no matter how secluded
or exclusive, and demands admission. Its
mission is to buy.and SELL Its demands are
imperative. If defeated to-day it renews ne
gOtiatiOns tomorrow with more en-
phasis. and as dea,icr resort IL
nothing else will answer the purpose.
IL will provoke war. Savages even must
contribute to its domineering behests. and

If from the elements that constitute the sum
total of human nature, the love of gain were
eliminated, the wheels of progress would
revolve slowly; if at all; society would re-
tire from her grand elevations, and the
world in its retrograde motion would very
soon be involved in ignorance as profound
and superstitions as blind as at any period of
its history. No rational, vitalizing religion
ever preceded commerce in its march.
When conquest and religion have joined
hands, the world has been made worse in
stead of better. The monuments of such
alliances are not wildernesses subdued nor an
elevated and enlightened people. On
the contrary, where bigotrv stands

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS.
Candidates for President and Vice Pres
ident From the Days OfWasEington.
From the Buffalo Courier.

The presidential election yesterday was
the tWenty-third since the adoption OF the
United States constitution. The first was
held in 1888 when only eleven of the thir-
teen original states had ratified the organic
law of the nation as adopted by the federal
were chosen without opposition for the
first as well as for the second term,
four years later. In the third presi-
Dental election. that of 1876, Wash
ington's retirement opposing candidates
were for the first time in the field. John
Adams of Massachusetts, leader OF the fed
eralsts, was elected president over his
competitor. Thomas Jefferson Of Virginia,
who was the author of what was called at
first the Republican and afterwards the
Democratic party. But Jefferson having
the largest electoral vote next to Mr.. Adams
became, under the then existing system of
choosing the executive, vice president.
There was an earnest struggle at the fourth
presidential election. in the year 1900,
the candidates being four in number.
President John Adams. Vice President
Thomas jefferson, Aaron Burr of New York,
and Charles G. Pinckney of South Carolina.
The election of President was thrown into
the House of Representatives, and resulted
favor of Thomas jefferson. while the
Senate elected Aaron Burr vice president.
In consequence of this contest, the twelfth
amendment changing the mede Of choosing
president and vice president. was adopted.
In 1S04--thc fifth presidential election
Mr.. jefferson was reelected president, with
George Clinton. of New York, yice-prcsident,
encountering but slight opposition. Charles
c. Pinckney, of South Carolina, and Rufus
King of New York, opposing candidates, re-
ceived only IA out OF l16 electoral votes.
The sixth presidential election took place in
1905, when James Madison was chosen presi-
dent over Charles G. Pinckney. with George

COUNTING OUT.

We do net underestimate the importance

profoundly impressed with the fact that 1t

assume executive control of the government
is settIed-it rs no longer debatable. There is
absolutely but one course for the people OF
all parties to pursue, and that IS a digniiied
acauiescence. The constitution commands
this course; il is in the interest OF peace and
order as opposed to ANARCHY and revolution.

The Chicago Tribune of yesterday, in con-
ceting the election of Tilden and Hen
bricks, takes occasion TO give some reasons
for the defeat of thG Republican party.
Gnntism comes in for its share, and in addi-
ton to this the Tribune is honest enough to
state that the country had no confidence in
Hayes-a man of good intentions, who favors
reform, but whose ability to change the
policy of the party in power the people
doubted. The Tribune, during the cam
paign. has been wofully dishonest, or else it
has special revelations since Tuesday.

Number. Tonage

Here it is seen that of the 5,771 steam sea-
going vessels. England and the United
States have 3,s04, representing carrying
capacity of 1, 152, go tons. Such figures are
eminently suggestive as indicating the
power of these countries in moulding the
future destinies of the world. 1t should be
stated that these statistics do not include in
land or coasting vessels; only those that arc
engaged i'm foreign trade are tabulated. At
the present writing, as the figures show.
while the United States stand second in the
list, England is vastly in advance of her.
But il should also be borne in mind that in
the very nature of things this discrepancy
can not be of long continuance. In the near
future the figures are likely to be changed,
and in so far as commerce can be made TO
enrich nations, il is fair to assume that the
United States will change position with
England and attract to her shores the largest
share of the wealth of the world.

SECOND THOUGHTS.

From the Boston Courier
Farewell, sweetheart Since summers ende
our hopes fall lifeleSs the leaves
Aud all the joys OF Us commended
fIit with the swallows from the caves
When love was by our hearts defended
With all tho force desire cOnceiveS
We both forgot that all depended
Upon few well-garnercd sheavcs.
The birds fly South this autumn weather.
And family trill n sad goodbye:
We, tCo, by summer flung together,
Hiss one more time. and dare not cry
Against the world, that cages not whether
We madly choose To part or die:
IL would be death To bide together
When bread j. dear and rents are high.
In other days We both delighted
To talk of ties that should endure:
The radiant hours To- this invited,
Each cunning birds nest hid a lure:
But now, when every rose il blighted.
We are not OF our nests 50 sure:
For modern sweetheartS pause affriglued,
When they discover both are poor.
