THE Compromise MEASURE
The compromise plan for solving the
Presidential dilemma is adopted, and
the question is he to settled by Z COM
mission.
The bill, we believe, was rushed
through under the pressure of the bus
mess demand of the country, the people
having grown uneasy under the business
paralysis of the winter, which is caused
to some extent ty the Presidential prob
lem. The people will acquiesce, and,
in the main, approve the finding of the
commission, and we do not doubt that
the decision will be just one. Hayes
is, prima facia, entitled to the Presiden-
cy, but if he is not fairly and legally en-
titled to it, Tilden should he inaugural
ted, whatever may he the consequences.
And 50 it is Il settled matter that the
present difficulty will be bridged over
by the device of u commission created
by Congress. But Congress has again
made grave mistake. 1t has assumed
the power to create such commission
and then to revise the finding of the
commission. 1t has merely devised a
roundabout way Of deciding the Ques-
ton itself, and but for the name of the
thing, might us well have referred the
whole problem to joint committee Of
the houses. The gist of the whole mat
ter lies in the question as to who shall
decide when there are two sets of re.
turns. Congress has assumed the pow
er to settle the whole question by ma
chinery of its own construction.
We repeat, the present difficulty will
he settled by the commission and the
people will acquiesce. But we hope
that Blaine, Morton, Sherman, Came
ron, every Republican newspaper, and
every man who cares 4 straw about the
Constitution, will not rest Until this
whole device is plucked up by the roots
and the only plan which can put this
matter to rest forever Is adopted. That
plan is so plain and 50 simple that every
one instinctively asks why it is not a.
dopted. If the Constitution is not suf-
ticiently explicit rs to who should count
the vote and decide when there are two
sets of returns, the Constitution should
he amended.
As one of the several thousand news
papers of the United States, we wish
now to put in our protest against this
device and to insist upon constitu-
tiopal amendment which will settle the
question forever. Whether the power
I've lodged i'll the President of the Sen
ate, or in the two Houses, or in the
Supreme Court, or i'll a Commission
similar to the present one, matters lit
tie. What the people want, and what
they ought to de nand, is that the ques-
tiOn he put ut rest in constitutional
way. Give us il constitutional amend
lnent ratiti Il by the requisite number
Ut States, and then the matter will he
put to rest, and it will not lie till we
have sucl, III amendment.

PUBLISHING THE LAWS

Tie State Auditor recommends the
repeal Of the law authorizing the publ
cation of the laws in the newspapers.
The mania for depriving the newspapers
Of what little they are getting from the
public crib, and at the same time de-
priving the people of the laws, docu-
ments. ETC., designed to keep them
posted rs to public affairs, has not yet
abated. Congress compels them to pre-
pay postage on all newspapers sent out
Of the county and cuts off or reduces
their supply Of public documents by
compelling Congressman to pay postage
on them; while the States, in many
instances, fix the rates for public print
ing q: the lowest possible notch, and Of
ten, as in the proposed repeal of a good
law, deprive them altogether of the
few dollars they get for great service
to the public. The printer is not the
greatest sufferer in this unwise econo-
my. The effect is to deprive the people
of the documents and laws which have
such q direct bearing upon their inter-
ests.
If the Legislature wishes to economize,
let it begin by cutting down its own per
diem, by reducing the salaries Of State
officers and by passing a law Which will
reduce the salaries, fees and perquisites
of county officers. And if the rate now
paid to newspapers for publishing the
laws is too high, cut that down also,
but do not, by an unwise and sweeping
measure, deprive the people altogether
of their copy of the general acts aanll-
ally passed by the Legislature.

IN EXPIRING ifONOpOLY.

The sewing-machine combination and
monopoly seems at last to be in fair
way to be broken up, or at least kept
within somewhat reasonable bounds.
The attempts Of the monopolists to Sc
cure continuance of their patents have
failed, and from this day forth some of
the most valuable patents are free.
Among these are the needle-the most
important of all-and the four-motion
feed 1t remains to be seen whether
enough patents are still unexpired to
give the old monopoly a somewhat
longer lease of life. Probably not, or
the companies would not have taken so
deep an interest in the continuance of
the patents just expired. It is very
likely that hereafter it will not be posi-
BILE to buy an American machine in
England or France. pay freight and du-
ties to this country, and then make a
large profit by selling at the ruling
prices here. Parties who think of pur-
chasing may as well wait awhile, and see
what will happen to the price of ma
chimes. Machines which now cost from
S65 to $50 can be sold at handsome
profit for 1870 to $50, and possibly they
will be sold at some such figures one of
these days.-Chicago Times.

CURSING THE QUEEN.

The PoU Mall Gazette says: "The
magistrates at Tadcaster have sentenced
a man named Leatham, who appears
from the reports to be in good position
in life, to be imprisoned for two months
for audibly cursing Her Majesty the
Queen during divine service in the
school-room, where public worship was
being conducted by a clergyman of the
Church of England The offensive Ian
guage was used twice while the prayers
for the Queen and the royal family were
being said. The defendant was very
violent when demonstrated with, and it
required four men to put him out of the
room. He pleaded before the bench
that he had been a liberal supporter of
the church and schools in the parish,
and that he had sent letter of apology
to the clergyman. He uttered the ex-
clamation, he said, spontaneously. hav-
ing shortly before the service been talk
ing about the Queens taxes"

THE PURCHASE OF ARMS BY THE
TURKS.

The contracts for arms made by the
Turkish Government are frequently
spoken of, and many express the opinion
that our position as q neutral power Will
compel the Government to prevent the
shipment of such arms to Turkey. 1t is
claimed that this is an erroneous impress
sion, and those high in authority argue
that either of the belhgerent powers can
purchase arms or munitions OF war IN
this country, our only duty as friendly
power being to treat both sides alike.
1t may be stated that the arms made
here for Turkey are paid for before de-
livery, the money for that purpose being
deposited in London by the Turkish au-
thorities to tllo credit of the American
makers when the arms are ready for
shipment. Under the terms of contract
the maker is allowed to retain 80, 900
stands of arms, after they are paid for,
as a guarantee that the Turkish Govern
ment will fulfill its part of the contract
and pay for every arm ordered Wash

SEVEN.

Seven fresh acorns on the lea,
Drowned by summers fiery glow,
Newly faNen from the tree,
Fit to plant, and apt to grow;
But six of seven shall rot and die,
And never flourish to the sky,
Or feel the breezes as they blow,
Choose the six-select the one
FoolI you cannot! Fate must run!
Seven sharp daggers, newly made,
Each the others counterpart,
Each the same in sheath and blade,
Point and edge and workman's art;
And yet, by Destiny's command,
One shall fill murderer's hand,
And stab true man to the heart!
Choose the one-reject the rest
Fool you cannot! Fate knows best!
Seven young maidens at the ball,
Radiant as the new May morn,
Blithe and joyous one and all,
With lips of love and eyes of scorn;
Yet four of seven, when welded wives,
Shall make their husbands curse their lives,
And rue the hour that they were born.
Shun the four-seIect the three
FoolI you may not Live and seei

CURIOUS FICTS.

Fishes have no eyelids and necessarily
sleep with their eyes open they swallow
their food whole, having no dental ma
chinery furnished them. Frogs, toads
and serpents never take food but that
which they are satisfied is alive. When
a bee, wasp or hornet stings it is nearly
always at the expense of its life. Ser
pents are so tenacious of life that they
will live for six months or longer without
food. Seals can be trained to perform
many curious tricks. 1t is believed that
crocodiles live to be hundreds of years
old The Egyptians emjalmed them.
In South America there is a prolific
honey bee which has not been furnished
with a sting. The head of the rattle
snake has been known to infict a fatal
wound after being severed from the
body.

4 J1R OF HONEY.
BY n. Il. sroDDARD.

There is hive in my garden,
Such as one sometimes gees
In dear old country places
Close by the orchard trees
house full of little people,
Swarming with busy bees;
You may have seen them often,
But never any like these.
There are flowers in my garden
That are good enough for me,
But not for these nice small folk,
Though once they used to be;
SO they have found ont others,
To which at will they fee:
They are sometimes SO long absent
1 think they cross the sea.
They all come back to my garden,
Wherever they have been
Back to my hive in my garden,
And its mysterious queen.
Hark you can hear them singing,
At work in the cells unseen;
They are singing and making honey
You don't know what 1 mean?
If you knew more of poets,
And how their poems grew,
You would understand my beehive,
And its swarm of fancies too;
How they fly tc other mems gardens,
And steal as other mems do
They have stolen this jar of honey,
Which, lady. 1 offer you.
