For over one hundred years no British

For over one hundred years no British
Parliament has sat outfits constitutional
limit of seven years. They have during
that long period either been dissolved by
royal proclamation or by ministerial
appeal to the country, sometimes after a
very brief existence. These dissolutions
and elections involve vast expense to
the candidates in contested cases, and de-
velop high degree of excitement and
bitter party feeling. The disposition of
the people is to avoid the recurrence of
these evils as much as possible. The
average cost of contesting a seat in the
Commons is about $4,000; the result is,
as the London Times says, that Parlia-
ment has become a plutocracy. None
but rich man OF d subservient tool to
party can obtain a seat in that
body. The present Parliament bids
fair to prove an exception in duration to
any that have preceded it. If the pres
ent ministry can hold the majority until
The middle of next April the body will

be dissolved by constitutional limitation.
For nearly seven years Lord Beaconsfeld
has never lacked majority to sustain
him on any important matter Of public
policy, and the indications are that on
the general election which must follow
the approaching dissolution the Tory
party will hold its own. The "outs" are
overwhelmed with grievances, in which,
judging from the recent election in Liv-
erpool, the people of Great Britain do not
very heartily sympathize.

WHAT does the Enquirer's Washing
ton correspondent mean by the state
ment that Cincinnati has no accommoda-
ton for Delegates or Convention? The
assertion is sufficiently false to be Of no
account here, but it will of course
be seized upon by those who are working
to prevent the Democratic Convention
from being held in this city. Cincinnati
has the finest hall in the country for the
Convention, and hotels excelled by no
city-East or West. That Washingtonian

himself to writing for and not about

An Insurance Case.

An important insurance case has

the Supreme Court. A saloon keeper
named Paul, at the junction of the
Panhandle and CHARTERS Valley Rail
roads, insured in the Armenia Com
pany The application for the policy
was not filled out entirely, the ques-
tion of external exposure having been
left blank. The company refused to
pay the money when the house was
burned, because of the omission OF
the answer and in suit which was
subsequently brought against it, the
Judgment was in favor of Paul The
Company then appealed the case to
the Supreme Court where the action
of the lower Court has just been af-
firmed. The decision Of Judge Paxson
states that the issuing of a policy
when a portion of the questions in the
application remained unanswered, is a
waiver of answers to such questions. ~

Township Officers.

According to the provisions of an
act of the Legislature of this State,
passed June 4, 1879, the term of Office
of every township officer hereafter
elected, whose term of office would, nm
der existing laws, expire on the first
Monday of April of any year, shall be-
gin on the first Monday of March next
preceding the said first Monday of
April, and the terms of the successors
of such township officers shall begin
on the first Monday of March, and
shall continue for the period now fixed
for the duration thereof by existing
laws And township officers shall
meet on the second Monday of March,
1881, and SO on each year thereafter
As this act was passed subsequent to
the last spring election it is construed
as not to effect the officers whose terms
expire next spring.

within a week of as early as it ever
came-on the 2Sth day of March The
year 1880 will have six eclipses, four
of the sun and two of the moon, but
only one of them will be visible here,
namely, the sixth, which is partial
eclipse of the sun on the last day ofthe
year very early in the morning A
very unusual thing about these
eclipses is that three of them occur in
December-a circumstance that will
not again occur in many years. Both
eclipses of the moon will be total, but
invisible in North America. About

WHEN gang of Philadelphia poll

whose devotion to his party has got
him into trouble, it is generally safe to
assume that the pardon ought not to be
granted, especially when no public no.
tice has been given of the intended ap-
plication and the effort is made to con-
duct the business secretly. In the case
of James Nickson there is no ground
on which the appeal to clemency can
reasonably be made. 1t was proved at
the trial that Nickson employed men,
at dollar a head, to vote on assumed
names, going with them from poll to
poll and vouching for them, and the
only defense that was offered was that
he was drunk on election day. The
jury rightly held that this was no ex-
cuse for a deliberate and grievous
crime, and Nickson's sentence was in
no degree too severe. One of the men
whom he employed, and with whom
he drank, is now in prison for his ille-
gal voting, and no effort is made to Sc
cure pardon for him. But Mackenzie

is. Mackenzie went to prison in the van
