A new method of preserving fruit
is practiced in England. Pears, APP
pies, and other fruits are reduced to d
paste, which is then pressed into cakes
and gently dried. When required for
use it is only necessary to pour four
times their weight of boiling water
over them, allow them to soak for
twenty minutes, and then add sugar to
suit the taste. The fine flavor of the
fruit is said to be retained to perfec-
ton. The cost of the prepared pro-
Ducts hardly greater than that of the
original fruit, differing with the sup
ply and price of the latter; the keep

TIE FIFTH JTDGE.

Things have changed. After an all-niGhts
session thc Senate passed the Electoral bill by
n vote of II To II ut early breakfast time
this morning. Before noon the Legislature OF
Illinois elected Justice David Davis a United
States Senator by Democratic votes. Under
thc circumstances We may fairly presume that
Mr.. Davis will not be considered eligible a.
the odd member of the proposed tribunal. Ii
would lie an insult to the moral sense of the
country TO select, as the profcssedly impartial
arbitcr in the Presidential contest, man who
had Just been chosen to high political office
by partisan vote. If there are Democratic
members who would propose such n departure
from the profcssrd object of the bill, we take
it for granted that there will be no Repdb-
lean member who will consent to it, or to any
appeal to chance of which that can be pos
sDlc result.
The remaining Judges of the Supreme Court
are all Republicans. II the bill passes the
House, ii viii submit all pending questions to
a tribunal OF which majority viii be sup
portcrs of Gov Hayes. TO those who consider
only the immediate patty aspect Of the meas
ure, this will make very great difference.
But TIE TRIBuNE has not opposed this bill
!. selection of one man rather than another. We
have opposed the bill because It has no warrant
in the Constitution, because il necc55IllycOntcls
improper powers upon one unknown nan, and
because il virtually enables that man TO seize
authority which does not belong to any man
or body OF men in the country. These oblec-
tons stand. 1t is wrong to confer upon any
tribunal thus created the power 70 determine
whether the electoral vote Of a State can be
thrown out, and that power, we presume,
Democrat, will be in less haste 10 grant since
il appears that it must be exercised by polit-
zeal opponents.
No matter what party may profit by IT. the
bill is wrong III principle, and ought 10 be de-
fcated. 1t establishes Il most dangerous prece-
dent, not the less dangerous if, as now seems
probable, the tribunal is TO he composed of
men who will doubtless refuse il tiiis instance
to 70 behind tie certificates Of 81 State. ,'hc
example will stand. in any future contest, IT
will be quoted with great effect Is a reason ioI
Intru2ting the same power to 'iinliaI
tribunal That example would be, IN
itself. revolution in our form Of government,
departure from the Constitution ana the
man can foreSee. lnasmuch as the Democratic
party cannot now 80 certainly gam, by It's
adoption, what good reason can there be
for establishing so dangerous precedent
Let us 20 back TO the Constitution as
the fathers interpreted it. A mode OF count

Madison, ought to be good enough for the
men of 1877.
