Fine Things fer tho Ladies.

Queen Isabella, of Spain, possesses col.
lection of old lace which can not be
equaled in Europe. and which is worth
several millions. Productions of all coun-
tries, kinds and ages are there, all perfect
in work and of infinite richness. One
dress of Point D'Alencon is worth more
than 100000 francs. Some full sets Of
trimmings in old point, belonging to her
majesty, are in themselves fortune. That
collection of lace is the pendant to that of
cashmeres belonging to Queen Victoria,
which 10 estimated at not less than j, 000, 900
francs. Her majesty possesses Indian
shswls to which the labor of more than
twenty years had been devoted, and which,
ct no matter what price, could not be re-.
produced at present, exciting workmen
having lost the secret of such an art. We
do not speak of certain shawls woven
with fine threads of gold, and in which the
embroidery IL ornsmented with pearls and
diamonds. Turning to other matters of te-
male 0rnamentatiOn, We can say that the
finest emeralds in feminine jewelry are pos
sessed BY the Empress Elizabeth Of Austria,
Just az the richest and most perfect collec.
ton of rubies extant is the property of the
brand Duchess of SAKE Weimar, grand
daughter of Paul l., Emperor of Russia.
Pearls and turQ u0ises, which are without

Guelph. As for diamonds except the

RIVER REPORT-3 p. n.


One of the strongest arguments against
the electoral system which has prevailed in
this country since the adoption of the con.
stitution is that it frequently brings about
the election of President who has received
Q minority of the popular vote. For this
state of affairs We have to thank the South.
1t was the South which ruled out the plan
Of electing by popular, vote, and insisted
upon one which should secure the casting
OF the votes by States, in the ratio of their
State representation. Thus early was the
doctrine Of States rights forced upon us. It
may Interest Us to look over the list of
minority Presidents" that this system has
given US.
In 1924 there were four candidates, and
no one had majority of the electoral vote.
The election went to the House Of Repre-
sentstives and Adams, through the support
of Clay, was chosen. Mr.. Adams popular
vote was los, 32l-less than thirty per cent
OF the whole vote; and he was elected in
the House by the vote of Q State Ken
tucky) in which he received not ono single
vote from the people.
The next case was that of Mr.. Polk, in
1874. He had ITO electoral votes-forty-
two more than majority. His popular
vote was 1897 ,243-less than forty-five per
cent of the whole vote.
Zachary Taylor, in 1S48, was the next
minority President. He had 1913 electoral
votes-seventeen more than Q msiority.
His pc ,,ulsr vote was 1863, 099-about forty
per cent of the whole vote.
James Buchanan, in 1856. was in like con-
dition. He carried the Electoral College
by LA votes-twenty-nine more than Q ma.
jority. His popular vote was 1896, l69-less
than forty per cent of the whole. The az.
gregate vote OF the other candidates was
22l5, 1913, total of 377 $50 in excess of Mr..
Buchanan, who, nevertheless, became Presi-
dent.
The last instance was that of Mr.. Lin
coins first election. in 1860. He had $50
electoral votes-twenty-nine more than
majority. His popular vote was 500 352
The aggregate Of the other candidates was
2,Sll, lOl.
We are now, apparently, to have another
instance of Q minority candidate in the
election of Governor Hayes, though in this
case there is IN important distinction from
the others. Governor Hayes would have
had large majority of the popular vote,
as we'll as of the electoral, save for the
violence and murder in the South. The
only way the Democrats figure out their
popular majority lie bv claiming msjorities
Of 20, 600 in Georgia, u.s. 600 in Texas, $4,000
in Mississippi, etc. These are shotgun ma
jorities only. They are the result of driv.
ing away and numbering Republican voters,
and, in addition to that, of d0ctoring the
returns 30 as to show moro votes than there
re people in those Ststes.-Cincinaati
Times.

It can not be too frequently impressed on
tho public mind that il the conduct of cleo
tiOns in the South il to be made the subject
of complaint. the only party which has .
right to complain is the Republican. The
sixteen Southern States owe almost solely
to negro enfrAnchisement the possession Of
the twenty-one votes added to their repre-
spportionment of 1871. In most of these
States the Democracy WELD this additional
power, while virtually disfranchisiDg the
element to whose admission to the franchise
it was due. But even this does not cover
the full results of the legalized terrorism
which sustains Southern Democracy, eince
the electoral vote of the South, a. settled
before reconstruction, was based upon an
allowance for three-fifths of the population
entire South thus accounts tor ct least one.
third of it's weight in the councils of the
nation. When the Democrats exclaim
against the ''injustice' Of throwing out the
votes Of Louisiana parishes tainted by
fraud or violence. they simply try to con-
ceal fragrant wrong by transparent
sophistry. The injustice is all on the other
side. A deliberate attempt WAS made
to cheat the Republicans, both direct
their legitimate msj0rities in these parishes.
Had the State been closer that it is, the
necessity imposed on the Returning Board
of casting ont the vote of the five parishes
which have been VIGOROUSLY the scene of
violence and fraud, would have suited the
Democrats just as we'll a. the acceptance
Of their fabricated majorities in these
parishes. The board has no power to re-
store to the Republicans the 5000 majority
out of which they have been cheated, and
therein the wrong done to. the Republican
candidates is irrepsrsble, and might easily
have served the Democratic cOnspirstors
quite % we'll - the positive gain Of their
false maiorities.-Nep York Times.
