Special to the st. Louis Republican.
The New York Tribune says:
IF any conceivable fraud, however
audacious. can raise the question as to the
electoral vote of any Northern state. the
Democrats will resort to that fraud"
The Cincinnati Gazette says:
The Republicans and the whole people
have abundant warning of what they may
expect unless the Republicans shall cleo,
president by so large q majority as tc
lntimidate the Democrats in congress from
their purpose. The design is nothing less
than that a party oligarchy- 10 congress
shall take from the people their right tc
elect the president. and shall usurp to
themselves this power. It that the
peoples election shall be ejuggled away !:
that the people shall be allowed TO vote
just as the cheating gamester. after he
has showed the high cards into his sleeves,
allows his dupe to play the game. The
people may vote. but the result is to be
I made by the Democratic congress. The
design is no less than the assassination OF
the republic, for when the people shall
have been deprived of their right to elect
their president. the republic will no longer
exist"
This is indeed the sublimjty of cheek"
party did less than four years ago. 1t is
the cry of stop thief raised as usual by
the thief himself. The Tribune and the
Gazette, and their party generally. are
afraid that Democrats will pay them back
in their own coin. They may make them.
selves easy on that score. Democrats
have no such intention or desire. but they
do intend that the candidate whom the
people elect shall be inaugurated at any
cost and at all hazards. No more return
ing boards or electoral commissions will
set aside the popular verdict, and no
usurper will occupy the presidential chair
on and after the 4th of March. 1881. The
Republican game is checkmated in ad-
vance by a determined Democratic major
ity, in both houses-against which the min
ority however desperate. will kick in vain.
So our Republican friends may as well
make up their minds to accept the newt
able with the best possible grace. If Gar
field is fairly elected. he will get his seat.
If he is not SO elected, he most GER
tainly will not get it-a dozen National
Perils to the contrary Notwithstanding.

rules in Pasha's palace. At the very
best, Turkish women rarely have any
education beyond the primer. They
believe in signs and wonders; in the
active agency of evil spirits; IN the ex-
istence of a great dragon who peri
odlcally attempts to swallow the moon

they are as superstituous as they can

The French Farmer.
London Truth.

Generally speaking, the French
farmer is not a jolly soul. Whether he
be Il man Of education or not, he set
ties down into a grub sort of life, faring
fruga lily on soup and the thinness Of
ordinary red wine or cider. The stock
of his soup is bacon, and he eats butch
er's meat only twice a week, that is on
Sunday and market day. When he at
tends market he makes succulent
dejuner and drinks good deal of beer
afterward at the cafe. This is the only
cheerful time; at ordinary seasons ne
is morose, troubled about the weather,
CONSUMPTION which is going to take his
son into the army, and about politics,
of which he understands just enough
to be in constant dread of revolutions.
He is conservative that is to say that
he upholds the government
of the day, whatever it is, for
fear of anarchy; but no government is
popular with him, for every admins
tratien finds it necessary to lay on new
taxes.

Two Uncrowned Queens.
Kansas CITY Times.

Mr.. Henry w. Ewings little girl was
born on the same day of the month
and the same hour of the day that
King Alfonso was made the proud
father of an infanta. Deeply impressed
by this singular coincidence, Mr.. Ew-
ing addressed letter from Jefferson
city to his Majesty congratulating him
upon the possession of an heiress, and
informing him of his own good luck.
Last week manuscript letter was re-
ceived from King Alfonso thanking
Mr.. Ewing for his letter, and begging
him to accept silver cup for his in
fanta. The letter was written in what
is called Asturial Spanish, and r. M.
York, the governors private secretary,
was the only one who could translate
it. The silver cup arrived by the
American express the next day. It is
an elegant ornament, magni6cently
embossed and engraved, and weighing
eighteen ounces, Troy weight. On It
was the incription: "Donata Alton
so I. de Sig. don gio vanni infanta Ew-
ing conamore." The letter has been
filed with Secretary of state McGrath,
who is also Spaniard.

Attempt to Introduce An American
Fashion into France.

According to the London Telegraph,
an American, recently arrived in
France who saw Lannois throw vitriol
at Marie Dubois, at once rushed to the
spot, protested against Lannois being
handed over to the police, and called
upon the spectators to assist him in
hanging the aggressor to the nearest
lamp-post. AS no one in the crowd
seemed anxious to second this impulse,
the American ran to a neighboring
shop himself and bought two yards Of
rope. On his return he found Lannois
in the custody of two policemen, to
whom he repeated his proposal, and be-
gan to make running moose in the
cord. With some difficulty he was
made to understand that Lynch law
would not be tolerated in Paris.

the other unite to form true ink.

Turkish Domestic Life.
Henry 0. Dwight in October Harper

Every Turk leads two lives. He
may be in the society of Europeans
during six hours of every day. He is
well dressed, vivacious, perhaps intelli-
gent. But this part of his life is not the
part which forms his motives. It is
not then that the final causes are at
work which govern his acts. His life,
when he is in the busy whirl of the
world, is superficial and unreal. How
artificial it is can be seen in the
alacrity with which, on his return to
his harem, he lays off his broadcloth
clothes of his public existence, and
dons the white, baggy trousers, the
open-necked vest, and the long gown
dear to his heart. He is only ready to
be at ease when he releases his feet
from the patent leather and from
stockings, and thrusts them into un-
heeled slippers. Then he is himself,
for he is at home.
The harem is to every Turk his
haven of refuge. To it he may flee
from every care. About the harem
cling all the sweetest associations OF
his life. All his best feelings find ex.
ercise in that sacred place. His moth
er, perhaps, is there, or his sisters.
There only he enjoys the prattle of his
children. There alone in all the world
can the the tired man find the balm Of
sympathy. There he has his books
and can study in peace if he will. There
he enjoys the riches of his splendid
flower-garden. In the domain of the
women, with hills, and Wales, and
moon-touched sea before his eyes, he
dreams aw his summer evening"

An English Compliment to the United
States Senate.
London Daily New

LOnuOn DIlly news.
The American senate was founded
for treble purpose,-to act as a check
upon hasty action of representatives,
to control the executive authority of
individual states belonging to the fed
Grafton; in other words, to protect local
interests against undue entertainments
from the imperial power. The house
of representatives was to represent the
union: the senate, the states composing
that union. Senators hold their seats
for six years; representatives, only for
two. One-third of the senate, however,
is renewed every two years. MIR.
Gladstone has described the American
constitution as 4 masterpiece OF human
wisdom. Its trainers certainly
achieved one signal success; they de-
vised a second chamber, at once popu-
lar and efficient, for the purpose for
which it was desi gned. The senate has
frequently thwarted the action of the
house Of representatives; yet no cry
has ever been raised against its priv
leges, and no American dreams of abol-
ishing it. The same can hardly be said
of any senate in the old world.
The United States senate may be
called the model upper house, France,
with all the political genius of her sons,
has never been able to create an as
sembly possessed Of the like prestige
and popularity. The second republic
contented itself with a single national
assembly. Napoleon III. re- establish
ed a dual legislature, his senate being
constructed on the simplest of all pos
sible plans. It consisted of $50 men,
bers, named for life by the emperor, at
his own discretion. Cardinals, mar
shals, and admirals were also ex-oficio
senators. AS the Pope confers the red
hat: the curious spectacle was thus
presented of members Of national legis-
lature appointed by a foreign prince.
