The Convention Election.

The most inexperienced politician
did not expect full vote to be cast for
delegates to the Constitutional Convcn-
ton. Many couspired to make the to-
tai nuuiber of votes cast much less than
the lowest estimate. Notwiths,and 'ng
the fact that the returns Of the election
in 1876 showed quite majority in tav
or Of calling Constitutional Conven-
ton, We have good reason to believe
that it was not q fair expression Of the
will Of ths people. The law pro-
vides that the ballots should be "for
Constitution" or "against Constitution"
The ballots were printed with the word
"Constitution" Oh tn bottom, the vot-
err being supposed to write the word
'fur' or against us he desired.
There can be no doubt that very large
number Of the votes asst had simply the
printed word ''Cpn- titution on them,
nor can there be reasonable doubt Of
the truth Of the suppositon that
the election judges who favored the
project counted all such trs US being
cast for the Constitution. Til. supl o.

from voting for delegates. Many peo-

Don't Be an Editor,

The transcripts advice to anyone who
wants to become an editor is, "don't." The
profession, it says, "though honorable, is far
from gainful. 1t involves steady, persistent
work; constant strain of the mental facul-
ties, and no end of unintellgent, yet annoying
criticism. There is no profession that exacts
SO much work for so small return; none in
which the steps of promotion are more numer.
GUS or more difficult to ascend. The chances
of the candidate for journalistic honors for
promotion depend upon his industry, his
ability, and accident. The demand for service
such as he can render is necessarily limited
the supply large and increasing, and he must
be content to accept the best position and the
best pay tnat he can get. One thing more
must be said, and should be carefully consid-
cred by the would-be journalist at the start.
Hard as it is to get into journalism, it is hard
er still to get out. The training which a news
paper affords is not calculated to fit man for
any other known vocation or profession. In
nineteen cases out of twenty the novice enters
upon it for better or for worse and for all
time. If he can make an honest living in any
other way he had better eschew journalism.
II he must engage in it, let it be with his eyes
open to the diffiulties and dsappointmeuts
that will inevitably beset his path"

The Old time Thanksgiving.

We cannot spare them from our family anni-
versaries, our Christmas and Thanksgiving fss-
tivals. The chair of honor belongs to the pa
trisrch OF the house at these domestic reunions
Our New England feas. day, especially, has
found, from the beginning, its chief attraction
in the welcome BY parents and grandparents of
the scattered members Of the old home. under
the ancestral roof; but hardly now so signif-
cantly as in former times of more simplicity aud
serenity of living. Our younger people can
scarcely spare hours enough to fly, even at rail-
road speed, from their city residences to the
not very remote farm or village where white
locks and tremulous hands would rejoice, how
tenderly, to embrace again children and chill
dren's children in the quiet pleasures OF an old
fashioned Thanksgiving Day. There is q real
ground of apprehension that the genuine spirit
of this thoroughly American institution is evsp-
Grating in our modern atmospheric vague
tradition lowering around the age-marked mau-
sions Of an earlier date, the type Of q sentiment
Of home attachment and reverence which we
seem to have small leisure and lessening dis
position to cultivate.
A change is going on in this direction, which
has many Indications and needs to be checked
before 1t becomes unmanage able We ara turn
ing everything Of this sort into an affair Of taste
Hnu patrouizo buo picturesque on principles Oh
artistic criticism. An old homestead We are
proud of, it has kind of aristocratic, baronial
air; and we take our geuteel acquaintance to
see it, II it looks as though the family who used
to live there belonged to the upDer-tens Of
those times. But the little one-story red cot
tsge on the back cross road We do not care TO
say protected our infancy, II polite people are
about. We admire the ancient spreading oak
or elm because it sets off the lawn So ;estheti-
cally; but we do not hold it in veneratiou al
most as hallowed cathedral of Gods building,
sacred and loved as the memorial of countless
divine kndnesses, and human experiences of
hope and fear and Joy, during its century Of
slow and silent growth. We are fond of very
nice old people, who look we'll in photograph
albums; but we do not rise up before the hoary
head and honor the face OF the old man as well
in decrepitude aud burdsnsome helpessness
Nevertheless true veueration for the venera-
BILE is q wholesome sentiment, grand and els-
vating attribute of character, whether It's OBJ
ject be an inanimate thing or . living soul.
Any observance or agency which cultivates
this quality among Us deserves all praise and
fostering care.-Dr. j. T. Tucker In Sunday

may also be married by priest if they see fit

If the Union was worth fighting for il il
worth paying for.
THANKSGIVING.

Whosoever has thrust upon him the sad
duty of writing editorial articles to appear
in print on the mornings of feast and fast
days should possess the genius Of that famous
French cook who knew six hundred different
ways of dressing an egg; for about the same
things are to be said year after year, served
up to suffering readers in different words.
We may jest over the partition of turkey, or
sentimentalize over the pumpkin pies of.our
grandmothers, or boast, in this section, that
the New England household festival has
spread over the land. We might follow the
example of some of the ministers, and weep
and wiring our hands over the evil days upon
which the world has fallen. But journalists
have not that cursed spite against the time
which leads men to believe it out of joint
and themselves diyinely ordained to set it
right. 70
For change the journalist might
do little fat business, put "This is
Thanksgiving leader at the head of half-a
dozen inches of blank space in the editorial
column, trust for its acceptance to the
faith of his readers and the resources of their
imagination. Lines might also be put in
here and there, reading "This is joke on
turkey" ''This is a joke on mince-pie,"
"This is joke on pudding" 1t is
quite possible that the fat jokes would be as
valuable as many of the jests the paragraph
ers are making on Thanksgiving and its OBJ
servances. Either this may be done, or we
may trust to the short memories of most
readers and say the old things in the old
way.
This wish though, however old is never
worn-that the day may be happy one at
every hearthstone in the land.
