The Bland silver bill, which was
passed by the House, by a vote of F4
against 34-22 members being absent
or not voting-and which, after being
amended by the Senate, passed that
body by vote of AZ against FL, was
on Friday last, by both Senate and
House, passed over the Presidents
veto, and becomes a law. The Presi-
dent, in his veto message says: 1t
has been my earnest desire to concur
with Congress in adoption of such
measures to increase the silver coinage
of the country as would not impair the
obligation of contracts either public or

When the 10th Vermont regiment
first reached the seat of war, it was
sent with a battery to hold a certain
position on the upper Potomac, where
a rebel raid was daily apprehendetl,
and like all raw soldiers the 10th was
nervous with the excitement of the
new situation. One day, it was an
nounced that a column of rebels was
in sight, so the battery dashed into po-
sition on the bluff, and, supported by
the enthusiastic 10th, commenced
pitching shells at the supposed rebels
with astonishing rapidity. The enemy
soon vanished, and the general i'm
preston was that they had been aw-
fully cut up by the shower Of shell. A
gallant sergeant of the 10th Yer
mont offered, if horse was loaned
him, to ride over and count the enc
my's dead. He did so, and on reach
ing the ground found the line of sup
posed rebels was nothing but "nig-
ger" funeral. The corpse lay aban-
doned in the middle of the road and
behind every rock and possible shelter
of ground was a panic-stricken dark
ey hugging the earth for dear life. 1t
was about the worst case of disorgan-
lied funeral that was ever seen in Vir-
ginia.-Herdld.

On Sunday evening last Rev. b. f.
Rattray delivered lecture to the peo-
pie of johnson on the Demands of
Rum in johnson and the degree to
which those demands are met" One
of the best points made was on the
popularity of rum as a medicine. He
said that Ayers Pill were a very pop
lllar medicine, but he doubted whether
the demand for Ayers pill throughout
|f the state would equal the demand for
'| this popular medicine, rum, in the
y state of Belvidere where 1913 gallons of
liquor was sold by the agent for medi-
cnal purposes in five months. This
would be nearly rs gallons per month,
OF over 800 gallons year. The pop
Nc ulation of Belvidere is 800 souls, there's
fore the mechanical and medicinal use
OF liquor in Belvidere would be only
about one gallon a year for each man,
woman and child. If the Clipper
man should see this there would prob
ably be an addition to the population
of the state of Belvidere, by the i'm
migration of G. s, Ed.

PLAN FOR THE ELECTION OF
PRESIDENT.

Senator EDMuNDs has given notice
that he will, to-day, call up his hill which
provides new scheme for counting the
Presidential votes. The subject will
call out one Of the most interesting and
important discussions OF the session,
provided Congress should heartily enter
into the task of disposing oi it before the
adjournment But this, We antici-
pate, will not be accomplished. There
is not the time il there WAS the DISPOSE
ton. Nor is the bill offered by Senator
EDMuNps Of that comprehensive charac-
ter that Congress and the people de
mand 1t proposes simply some patch
work on the Constitution which, like
new cloth on an old garment, will short
" produce worse rent than the last.
The present cumbersome and compli-
Gated system of electing u President has
been growing in disfavor for many
years. 1t does not suit the geography
of the country, it is unfair in its rela-
tinns tn the distribution of the popula-
ton, it is productive of unnecessary
turmoil in the contest, and it provides
no sufficient check upon the machina-
tons of politicians at the polls and in
the final count The country has al
yanced, as well as the politician
since the adoption OF the present
scheme.
What is needed, ii We have states
manship enough in Congress to provide
it, is a thorough remodeling OF the
whole system, even down to the ballot
box. We want an ironclad device that
will convince every voter in the land
that his ballot has been counted and
that he has had voice in the selection
of the Chief Magistrate Of the nation.
Nothing short Of this will satisfy. Moth
inc short OF it will preserve the govern
ment from periodical danger OF disrup-
ton and overthrow. Ii will have to be
accomplished sooner or later, and it had
better be done before we have occasion
TO enact such another farce as was per-
petrated in the last Presidential contest.

The Pittsburgh Post says that one OF
the first things the Democrats should do
when they get control OF the Senate
should he to give KELLOGG, OF Louisi-
ana, the grand honnce." This will be
done; and other reasons aside, there Is
ground for such action in the fact that
kELLoGG was seated upon certificate
from PACKARD, who called himself Gov
crnor oi Louisiana, who was not Gov
crnur, was never recognized a Cover
nor, and besides kELIoGG's credentials
