The Constit tutlonai Provision May Yet Trl
umph.
There is a strong element In tho Democracy,
determined aud desperate, who propose to
make stubborn fight against the decision of
the Judicial Tribunal. Northern Democrats
predominate among this revolutionary fac
ton. 1t was currently reported yesterday
that the mails Of the past few days have been
crowded with letters from the solid element
In the Democracy, North and West, urging
them to delay the count, so as to compel the
Republicans to elect q President of the Sem
ate, who shall hold over until new election
can be had next fall. II the rumor be a
truthful one, the solid element In the Democ-
racy, North and West, have gone to work de-
lIberately with malice sforethought to cut
their own political throats. However, the
movements OF to-day will decide the future.
The Democracy have had a quiet Sabbath in
which to ponder over their plan for to-day's
action. Whether It has been for evil or for
good, the next ten hours will tell. To-day
Pennsylvania will lie counted, and when
South Carolina shall have been reached pro-
tests will be entered, and that State will go
before the Commission. One day will be suf-
fcent In which to consider the case, and by
Wednesday 1t will be reported back from the
Tribunal and counted In the Senate.
The action Of the Democrats to-day will indl-
cate what their measures will be Wednesday.
II they show a fllbusterlng spirit in the
Pennsylvania case, then no time must be lost
by the Senate. A man in whom the Repub-
Leans have entire confidence must be imme-
diately elected President OF the Senate. This
should be done In order to fortify the party
against emergencies. He must be man Of
nerve and iron will, unhinching In his purpose,
aud as firm as 4 rock. with such msnas Pres
idcnt OF the Senate, that body should, on the
I'd day OF March, direct him 10 invite as many
Of the House as will come TO the Senate
chamber. and there finish the count. The
Republic cannot afford illibusteriug, the busi-
ness interests Of the country shrink with hor-
ror from the proposition of new election,
therefore the Republican party must not hest
tate to do Its duty in this perilous crisis. The
provision Of the Constitution stands as II has
ever stood. The Electoral bill does not neces-
sarily change It, or make 1t invalid. As 1t
has been for years, so It may he now-the
President OF the Senate may yet count the
(remainder of the) votes according to the
Constitution and established precedent.

REPRESENTATIVES, LIE MorHE, in his speecn
Saturday, uttered this philippe against the
New York Democrats. He said: "But, sir,
this result has one consolation-we, Of the
West, are done in politics with the domination
of New York. Under her leadership we have
not only lost the victory after It had been
fairly won, but, what Is still worse, we have
been disgraced." This Is hard, cruel blow

SERIOUS doubt has risen in the mind of .
prominent theologian in the West as to
whether women will be altogether happy in

that of other angels.

Those leaders In the Democratic party who
have succeeded In bankrupting the future
hope Of public confidence In that organic alton
by their false and malicious course In the
Oregon case, should remember that bank
ruptcy Is great, the great bottomless gulf in
which all ialsehoods, public and private, do
sink, disappearing whittier, from the first
origin OF them, they are doomed. For nature
is true, and not q lie. None of the falsehoods
Of the Oregon case were spoken but will come
back after longer o. shorter circulation, like
q bill drawn on natures reality.
PRor. GuSSISG tells the people of Chicago
that "the gray old globe must he mended
Man must be armed with the elemental forces.
The crime must be washed from the skies.
The invisible throngs that biyouac In the air
and wrench the breath they breathe from the
body OF man, and rack the body with pain, l.,
must he destroyed. scourge and pestilence
must 10 stamped out. Human life, enamel
psted from poverty and pain, must be enriched
by the presence everywhere Of all that Is good
and all that is great. The divine harmouiss
poured into listening ears everywhere shall be
sounded everywhere there are willing ears to
listen. Man shall be freed from The tram msls
Of place" And so on nd iidaifWm until We
are all happy, you know.
