THE funniest scene that occurred in the
small hours Of yesterday morning, and one
that had moral attached to it, was the
march out Of Long John and Stephen
Douglas, Jr., of the seats they had usurped,
and the march In OF E. G. Keith, Esq, and
Senator William Campbell, who had been
elected delegates by the First Congressional
District. The Boss had been smart enough
not to take one of those seats himself. lie
preferred the more secure place Of delegate
for the State Mt large, but lie thrust III Went
worth and Douglas under the belief that the
high standing Of the first named and the pro-
found esteem Of Illinois for the deceased
father OF the second would secure them reten-
ton Of the stolen seats but they did not. The
sword OF justice had to prevail. 4 great
wrong had been perpetrated upon the Re-
publicaNs of the district. The will Of the
majority had been ruthlesly tranpled under
foot. a selfish, schenlng desperado had
foisted two mcn on the First District whom
it had decisively rejected. They sat Oh the
stomach of the National Convention until
they were spewed ont Like tainted oysters,
they could not be digested or kept down, and
had to come up and out
In the small hours Of the morning seven
foot giant, now weaker than achild because
found in the wrong, arose from his ill-gotten
chair and strobe silently to back sent, grim
ming a ghastly and Horrible smile, followed
BY the broad dwarf, who had taken shelter
under the wing OF the giant TWAS asolenn
but lugubrious march, and enjoyed by the
galleries, who gave expression to their feel
ings by roars Of laughter.
The next vote OF the Convention bounced
Beveridge and his fellow-usurper, and they,
too, took up their melancholy line of march
for the rear. The foisting Of Beveridge and
Kadish as third-termers into the seats Of the

STATE-sovEEE1GNTY is good Democratic
Bourbon doctrine, and everybody knows in
what school Senator Logan obtained his
ideas OF it. But State-sovereignty within a
party is a new and ridiculous assertion Of
that exploded heresy, which, il it were not
for the gravity Of the occasion, would quick
ly tie laughed out Of court by every tntelli-
gent luan. State-soyereisnty is based upon
the assumption that the majority Of the peo-
pie of State have certain powers exclusive
of and paramount to any that the National
Government can exercise. But who ever
heard before that the majority Of q party in
! a State was also sovereign entity? The
party may have majority in the State, or it
may be in hopeless minority. It makes no
difference which. If the Republicans of Illi-
nois are sovereign entity, the Republicans
of Kentucky or Delaware are also q ''sover-
eign entity" So we might have the spec
taclc, if Senator Logan's Democratic Calhoun
doctrine should prevail, Of the Republicans Of
some Southern State coming to Chicago and
claiming to be " "sovereign," when, as mat
ter of fact, they cannot name the pound
keeper or the hog-reeye in their native
villages. We shall have the additional in
structiye experience Of a divided sovereignty.
Sovereign Illinois will be found assembling
at Chicago III Republican Convention, at
Cincinnati III a Depoeratic Convention, at
Chicago again in Greenback Convention,
at Cleveland in a Prohibitionist Convention,
and at 4 great variety Of other Conventions
which the people, or some Of them, Of Illi-
nois may choose to attend. If State-sover-
eighty can be exercised by party conven-
tion without the Intervention of any body
recognized by the organic law of the State,
there is no telling to what useful purposes
this delightful theory may not be put.

TIE Spanish army is top heavy. It has
too many Generals drawing pay who have no
men to command and nothing to do except to
deyour tho substance Of the taxpayers. Says
the Puu lfuu Gazette:
Large armies have been raised from time to
time to carry on the struggles IN which the sey-
er.ll fucnons have been engaged; and, although
It has always been easy on the cessation OF hUs-
hlities to reduce the strength OF the rank and
file, 1t has generally been found necessary to re-
tain the officers on the establishment Of the
army, even though their services may no longer
have been required Moreover each party as it
has succeeded to power has been obliged to re-
ward It's adherents tn the urtny by giving them
promotion, and thus the lists Of officers Of hxh-
er rank especially have continually increased IN
length. At present. for instance, there are no
fewer than 5a Generals on the active list Of the
army, though the total strength Of the ttter even
including the Guartlia Civil ur National Guard
the rrovlncia1es or Provincial militia, and the
Curabineros, is barely 150UUO of uu ranks. 4 bill
has, however, now been laid before tho Cortes
for reducing this enormous number of Gener-
ais. It is proposed that four Captains General.
forty LieutenAnt- Generals, sixty 1lujor-Geu
ns, and 100 Brigadicr- Generals only shu1I be re-
tanned on the active list, tho remainder being
placed on reserved list. None OF the officers on
the reserved list arc to hold commands in time

form, and are to be eligible for promotion to W.
cancies In higher ranks on the active list

Germany, tho number Of suicides has Of late In
creased In every country In Europe, save in
Norway only. In Norway there have been On an
average per cent fewer cases Of suicide during
the last ten years than In the preceding ten
years.-a fact which IS attributed BY the Ger

drunkenness In force there. In most German
countries the number OF cases Of suicide has In
