AMEND THE ELECTORAL LAW.

AMEND THE ELECTORAL LAW.
The speech of Samuel ]. Tilden at
the Manhattan Club reception the
other night again reminds US of the
great need existing for the revision OF
our mode of electing a President, so
that no future candidate can say:
Everybody know, that after the re-
cent election the men who were
elected by the people President and
Vice President of the United States
were counted out and men who we're
NOT elected counted in and seated"
We do not doubt that Mr.. Tilden be-
lieyes what be said is true, and thou
sands agree with him, though OF
course Republicans believe that Mr.
HAYES was fairly entitled to the
Presidency. Thus an honest differ
euce of opinion exists, which should
never occur again. 1t is the duty of
Congress to devise mode of elect
ing q President that shall leave no
question to endanger the peace OF
the country. The perils we recently
passed safely, only averted by popn-
lar conservatism in both parties,
should never again menace the he
public.
Several plans have been advanced
to improve our electoral system. 1t
has been proposed by some to choose
electors by Congressional districts,
but it is objected that in case this
plan was adopted the colonization
and bulldosing of certain close dis
%ricts would determine the result.
Another plan advocated provides for
the retention of the electoral votes.
but dispeDses with the electors; the
total vote of State would determine
to which party candidate the elector-
al votes should be given. to be certi-
fed by the State canvassing board;
to this plan it is objected that while
Ineligible electors would be avoided
the unjust action of returning boards
would not be provided against.
There is a rapidly growing senti-
ment in favor of electing the Presl-
dent and Yice-President by direct
vote of the people and let the popu-
lar majority of the aggregate vote OF
all the States determine the result.
The tricks of politicians in State can
wasting boards would be avoided,
and there are many other weighty
reasons advanced in favor of this
plan. 1t seems quite impossible that
there would ever be an election so
close as to leave an opening for cor
rupt practices on the part of can
vassers, or doubt of any kind as to
the result.
The importance of this matter
should prompt Congress to take it
Immediately in band, so a suitable
plan may be digested and adopted in
time for the next Presidential cleo
ton: and as the change will prob
ably require an amendment OF the
Constitution, the present Congress
should agree upon the best mode that
can be devised and pass the initiatory
resolutions during its first session.

Alta recent meeting of the National
Academy of Sciences in Washington,
Major Powell gave an account Of the
humid or agricultural lands and the
arid or worthless portions. Nearly
all of the arid lands are west of Min
nesota and Nebraska. The unsold
public land in the humid region are
almost wholly undesirable property.
In Florida are 100000 acres Of tins
sort, including the vast swamps of
the everglades. In Alabama there
are 100000 IN Louisiana, 5000, 200;
in Mississippi, 3,375,OOO. The arid
regions of the United States extend
over 1,S70,3S7 square miles; of this
nearly 100000 miles may be called a
pasturage region; 100000 noun
tain region; $4,000 desert lands; the
'bad lands" nearly 100000; timber
lands and plateau region each about
100000. Major Powell says there is
not enough public lands in the United
States which poor man could turn
into a farm 10 make an average coun-
ty. Ali tine best lands have been APP
propriated. and, unless the rocks con-
tain valuable ores, or the soil timber,
they are worthless to settlers.

SENATOR JONES on FINANCE.

Somebody fool or an enemy
persists in telegraphing that Senator
Jones has been converted to the
greenback and ibterconvertible bond
financial heresy. His constituents
have disbelieved these stories from
the first. A Washington dispatch of
recent date says: "Senator Jones is
still here, revising the proofshe,ts of
his report In behalf Of the majority
of the Silver Commission, which, to-
gether with the accompanying testi-
mony, ETC., will make quite voluml-
nous. but extremely valuable book.
He laughs at the various published
reports of his conversion 10y his
neighbor General Butler, or by any
other influences, to an advocacy OF
the unlimited issue of paper money.
All such reports he says are unau-
thorizcd, and he adds that as mat
ter of fact he has never had any con-
versation with Butler ON financial
topics. He still believes there is no
prospect for the revival of business
prosperity in the United Sites until
the silver of TIE country is fully re-
stored to its old function as money,
and says his recent sale Of the Santa
Monica Railroad to the Southern Pa
ciic Company was prompted mainly
by the conviction that for consider
able time to come all property will
continue to depreciate, and money
Will continue to appreciate in value"

The opinion of Prince Bonaparte
who has bestowed so much attention on
the dialects of Europe, is that the So
called Lingua Franco is Italian, and
that in no place or case is it rightly to
be called a dialect, and that there is no
such separate language as Lipgua
Franco, which has been so long and so
often referred to in books of Eastern
travel. The explanation Of the name of
this alleged language appears simple.
In the late centuries Of the Byzantine
Empire and early centuries of the
Mussulman conquests, the Genoese and
the Venctians carried on the commerce
of Europe, as the remains and traditions
of their factories are to be found in
every port, and sometimes in inland
towns. Thus this Italian, not the
Lingua Toscana in bocca Romano, be-
ing the language of commerce with the
lands of the Franks, was by the Greeks
considered the language Of the Franks.
lNdlldll II NVulu lIOb bt tdlltu, DttlUSt
it was the language of the Genoese of
the city, or it might be of the Venetians.
When the Mussulmans became rulers,
Italian was still the Frank language,
for they did not look on the Greeks as
Franks. The dispersion of the Spanish
Jews and the MOors of Spain supplied a
greater number Of practitioners, who
founded cognate language. When the
trade came into the hands of the French,
Dutch and English merchant,he found.
his Greek and Jewish brokers' speaking
to him, not his own language, of course,
but what was called LinguR Franco;
and the traveller visiting the factory
heard of this Lingua, found It citedsin
the bazaar and professed by his drage-
man. What is both Spanish and Italian
passed muster with the Jews, but what
was not was replaced by Spanish,
Thus, as In some parts of Barbary,
where there were more Jews aud Moors
than Italians, tho Spanish words were
more frequent.-Ahenaum

Children's Questions.

1t Is as natural for most children tC
ask questions continually as it is for
them TO eat. Indeed they seem perpet,
ually hungry in mind and body; in
stead of diminishing their appetite for
physical and intellectual food the effort
should be to increase it to its utmost
healthful limit. When a child eats
heartily, has perfect digestion, and
sleeps well, we consider him In good
physical condition, and accept his eager
call for food as evidence of his bodily
soundness. In the same way his con-
slant calls for information, and his
curiosity to find out these things, are as
sure signs of mental health as the Other
Of physical. We hOusekeepers accept
the necessity of providing three meals
a day, and rs there is no use in COM
planning about it, the sensible ones
among us make no complaint, but do
the best we can with resources at COM
mand. In like manner those who have
children feel, or should feel, the neces-
sity ofsupplying them continually with
knowledge as they supply them with
food.
The manner in which this is done
varies indefinitely. Some parents will
patiently, day after day, and year after
year, answer word by word, so far as
they can, the innumerable and various
questionings of their children. This is
a tax that no n who has not paid it can
adequately appreciate. We think there
is a better way than this, better for the
child, and better for the parent. When
Sir William Jones, the eminent Oriental
scholar, was a boy, and perpetually
asking questions of his mother, her
reply to them was, "Read and you will
know" But she took care to place
such books as would lead him to explore
for himself fresh fields of knowledge.
So great is the number of juvenile
books and magazines that the intelligent
parent can much more readily than
could Sir Williams mother put within
his child's reach the answer to q great
many of his questions, and thus teach
him to feed himself.
1t Is well to keep the intellectual
appetite keen in order that the diges-
tion be vigorous and complete, and to
this end hunger Is beneficial. If there
is any particular direction in which it
Is desirable that the love for knowledge
should be fostered, a little management
will secure the end desired. As q
special privilege the mother OF a large
family permits her children the occa-
sional use of an astronomical globe and
the atlas of the heavens, keeping these
most of the time carefully put away.
Curiosity to know about the stars is
thus continually whetted, and their
q~uestionings become more intelligent
as their interest In the subject grows
deeper. The principle of q stated mum
Der Of meals a day is as applicable
to the mental as L the physical stomach.
Hunger is the best sauce for any appe.
tito, and when one Is fed 1t Is desirable
that the food he eats should stay by
him till the meal time comes again. So
a child can by careful management be
so occupied with his books or his toys
that his questionings will be lntermitted
for a season, and his mother given n
resting spell. But any other way of
Quenching his curiosity Is hurtful.

A Handful Of Wool.

Young folks are apt to think that 20
get ahead Ia life they must do some
great, big thing. They feel that the
picking a basket Of berries or
hunting a few eggs, or doing some kind
act, Is not worthy Of their time, and
unless they can climb the whole ladder
in a day they DON'T want to try one
step at a time. Now many Of the great
business successes began In a very
small way. One Of the great wool con-
Germs of Europe was started In this
same way, as the following true story
will illustrate -
Many years ago a French merchant
had a lovely daughter named Eugene,
who had married a Spanish officer in
the service of Don Carlos. He was
killed In battle, and after burying him
in a grave dug with her own hands,
this widow, with her two little children
wretched aud almost penniless, fled TO
a ruined convent In the Spanish noun
tains. There by little acts of kindness
to the shepherds and peasants she got a
crust of bread and milk for her infants.
She soon got acquainted with the wO-
men who visited the hills to carry food
to their husbands; and she asked them
to bring TO the convent their spinning
wheels and all spin together. This they
did in large numbers, and at the end of
every week the grateful peasants each
gave her a handful of spun wool.
When the little lots of wool had ac-
cumulated Eugene sold them at the
nearest town, and with the money
bought small lots of raw wool Of the
shepherds and hired the peasant women
to spin for her part of each day. In a
small way she began this spinning bust
ness, until in three or four years after
the old convent was made a spinning
factory, and soon was widely known
for the fineness of its product. Year
after year it was a source of profit to
Eugene and made a nice market for
the peasants wool and labor.
In after years Madam WAS
blessed with great success, and her
small beginning in the Spanish con-
vent led her to be very rich and the for
tunate owner of four factories In Spain
five in France, beside cotton and flax
mills in Belgium. And all this great
good fortune started from a handful of
wool. Boys, despise no small begin
nings, but make the most of every
chance to improve your prospects in
life.
