A Cure for All Political Evils.

Canada Wants Alaska.

According to debate few days
since in the Canadian Parliament at
Ottawa, it would appear that there is a
chance that the United States may find
a purchaser for its territory of Alaska,
as member from British Columbia,
who presumably ought te know what
he was talking about, said in debate
that it was simply question of time
when it would be necessary for Canada
to buy this tract Of land. If there is
the least hope of disposing of it, even
at sacrifice, We should advise the
National Government to improve the
opportunity. At present it is a con-
slant drain on the resources of the
Treasury, and from the impossibility of
ever settling the country, is likely to
always continue to be so. There are
one or two long term leases which the
Government would bave to compromise,
but having done this, the United States
would be we'll out Of bad scrape if it
could get back fifty per cent. of the
purchase money.

The Silver Bill,

In accordance with general expecta-
ton, the President vetoed the Silver
Bill, but it has become a law never
theless, having passed both branches
of Congress by more than two-thi rds
vote. In the House, the vote stood
1876 to IS; in the Senate, 40 to 49,.
The Presidents objections to the
bill, as set forth in his message, are
forcible and sound, but they had no
influence upon the minds of congress
men. They do not seem to have
shared the apprehensions of the Pres
ident as to the injurious effect which
the passage Of the bill will have upon
the credit of the country, and it is
hoped that they are not mistaken in
their judgment. To all probability
the law will not prove as disastrous TO
business interests as many of it's OPP
p'nents have claimed; but on the 9TH
er hand it is clearly obvious that it is
not going to do away with hard times
ana fill every ones pocket with money
as many seem now to suppose.

A Bill to Pay Rebel Soldiers.

A bill to restore to the pension rolls
the names of Mexican soldiers, living
in the South, which were dropped
during the rebellion, is now pending in
Congress, and there is danger of it's
passage. The Treasury will be bled to
the tune of 100000 should this bill
become law. But this is only an
entering wedge. There is clause in
the bill repeating the present statutory
prohibition against the payment Of
pensions to the widows or heirs of per-
sons engaged in the rebellion, and
should the bill pass, as it seems likely
to, being unanimously supported by all
the Southern members, the next thing
in order will be bill pensioning rebel
soldiers Slowly, but surely, is the
South paving the way for legislation of
this character, and it seems as if they
cannot wait until the Democracy come
into power before introducing their
schemes Of this sort. Aside from the
Objectionable feature of the bill above
named, there is another reason why it
should not pass, and that is that there
are now 10000 cases of Union SOL
diers awaiting settlement. and payment
deferred, on account Of the pa,simony
of Congress in cutting down the appro-
priations fer clerk hire in the pension
bureau, so that business in that depart
ment is contin ualIy running behind.
1t seems unreasonable, therefore, and
unjust to the soldiers having claims
now pending, that their interests should
be still further jeopardized by the pas
sage of the bill under consideration.
But this is probably all that can be
expected from the Democrats in Con.
gress. They owe the Union soldiery
grudge for having whipped the South
ern wing of their party and subdued
their rebellion, and they are bound to
even up the score if thew can.

Peace.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, March Pre-
vious to the signature Of the treaty of
peace Gen. Ignatief demanded that
Turkey should unite with Russia in
defending all its stipulations before the
conference. Satvet Pasha refused.
Gen. Ignatieff then telegraphed to St.
Petersburg for instructions. 1t is not
known how the question was settled.
Russia agreed not to include Salonica
in Bulgaria. 1t includes Bosropes,
Varna and Kustendji. The money
indemnity 940,0O0,000 originally
claimed in addition to territorial cesson
was finally fixed at Gl2 100000.

IT is stated that the President s
friends and others at Washington are
amazed at the unceremonious manner
ID which the message vetoiug the Sill
yer, bill was disposed of in both houses of
Congress- 1t has been usual, hereto
fore, not to take action upon the Presi-
dents messages until they had been
printed, but both the Senate and
House ignored the custom and went to
work and in the spur of the moment
passed the Silver bill instanter, and
with anything but decent respect for
the Executive or for so sound state
paper as the veto message.

The fusion of Democrats and Green

sired in the selection of candidates fol-

BILE fault-fnding with the Sergeant-At-
Arms. aud one Of the Asst. Postmas-
tiers has been discharged for official
crook edness. One of the messenger
boys was also sent adrift for stealing

to condemn in Republicans should find
Its own members guilty of so many
shortcomings.

prominent position in the country
than Mr.. Wade, and not one has

A New Plan for Electing Presidents

The question of devising some new
method Of electing President and Vice
President is occupying the attention of
the Congressional Committee on the
subject. We are glad to see that the
proposition favored by a majority of
the sub-com mittee retains the principle
Of the electoral plan for the representa-
ton of the states, and at the same time
is calculated to obviate the evil of every
state being counted solid one way. 1t
does away with the Electoral College
and substitutes for it number of Pre-
sidential votes in each state equal to
the number of its Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress. These are not
to belong all to one candidate, but to
be divided between them in the ratio
of the popular vote of each, by multi
plying such popular vote by the num-
Der of Presidential votes and dividing
the product by the entire popular vote
of the state. The quotient, carried to
three places Of decimals, will be the
number of votes and fraction thereof
to which such candidate is entitled.
By this plan the minority of each state
would be fairly represented, and the
evils which result from efforts to carry
certain states by whatever means, in
order to turn the scale, would be
checked.

ONE OF LIFE's SHADOWS.
detroit Free Press. !


At eight O'Clock the other morning I,
Detroit wife followed her husband do1n
to the gate as he was starting for down
town. and kindly said to him:
William, you know how sadly need
blne bunting dress"
"Yes, DEAR" be remarked, "but you
know how hard up am. As soon as I
can see my way clear you shall have the
dress and u new hat to boot. Be patient,
be good. and your reward shall be great. T"
Forty minutes after that he emerged
from restaurant with big basket and
tish-pole, bound up the river. In the
basket was chicken, pickles, cake, fruit,
pie. and bottle of liquid of rich color.
and he was just lighting twenty-cent
cigsr when his wife came along.
What you here?" he exclaimed.
Yes, was going to the market.
Where are yon going? what's in this
basket"
around to friend on Jefferson avenue" :"
he modestly answered.
And that basket"
"This basket-well, I was going to
take it the Orphan Asylum as present
to the children. 1t is donation from
six loading citizens"
William, I don't believe it'
"Sb! Don't talk 80 loud!'
William. / shall talk louder yet!'
she exclaimed. "I'll bet you are going
fishing!'
Mary. have ever deceived your" he
plaintiveIy asked. Il never have. AS
proof of my sincerity. you can take this
basket to the asylum yourself"
"And I'll do sol" she promptly replied,
as she relieved him Of it.
MARY, hadn't you--"
"No, sir, I hadn't. You'd better
hurry up with that fish. pole. as the man
may want it. and be careful how you
stand around in the hot sun!'
She left him there. He watched her
take the car for home, and then he re-
turned the fish-po.e, and crossed the
street, and said to his acquaintance:
tom, I'm suffering with neuralgia,
and the excursion is off till next week.
Too bad, but we can never tell what G
day may bring forth"
There was chicken and pickles, and
other good things, on the table at dinner,
but he never smiled. Even when his
wife wished she was an orphan, if that
was the way they were fed, he never
breathed the gloom in his heart. 1t wac
only when she handed the bottle he had
30 carefully tucked into the basket. and
he saw it labelled, GOOD for little
children" that he said:
"Mary. it is an awful thing for wife
to get the impression that her husband
ia a cold blooded liar!"
1T must be" she replied. as she took
the other chicken-leg
