THE DEMOCRACY AND THE CONSTITUTIONS
AI AMENDMENTS. The Boston journal says
The Democrats are quite eager IN protesting
that they have no hostile designs upon the
constitutional amendments, and some of them
SO overdo the business that it might almost
be thought that they were devotedly attached
to the principles which the amendments re-
present. Yet no longer ago than January of
last year the Democrats in the United States
Senate did all in their power to prevent a vote
being taken upon resolution introduced by
Senator Edmunds, affirming the validity and
declaring for the enforcement of the constitu-
tional amendments. The resolution was in
the following terms :
g ResoIoed, as the Judgment of the Senate,
that the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth
amendments to tho Constitution of the United
States have been legally ratified, and are as
valid and of the same paramount authority as
any other part of the Constitution that the
people of each State have a common interest
in the enforcement of the whole Constitution
In every State of the Union, and that 1t is
alike the right and duty of Congress to en-
force said amendments and to protect every
citizen in the exercise of all the rights there
by secured by laws of the general character
already passed for that purpose, and by fur
Their appropriate legislation, so far as such
enforcement and protection are not secured
by existing laws and that 1t is the duty of
the executive department of the Government
faithfully and with diligence to carry all such
laws into impartial execution, and of Congress
to appropriate all moneys needful to that
end.
When finally all devices for preventing a
vote failed, sixteen Democratic Senators re-
corded themselves against the resolution, as
follows Messrs. Bailey, Bayard, Beck, Cock
rel Coke, Davis of West Virginia, Eaton,
Garland, Gordon, Harris, Hereford, Hill,
Keenan, Lamar. Morgan, Voorhees,.

If YOU DoN'r CONE.

But, suppose you don't
come. How are we going
to sell you just what you
want to buy, without your
seeing things beforehand
Try; write; say about how
much you want to pay for a
business suit, dress suit, over
coat, or whatever you want;
say what your occupation is;
say anything that has any
bearing on what we ought to
send you. 1t will not take
us two minutes to guess
what you want if we don't
guess right, that's our loss,
not yours.

HAVE YOUR OwN WAY!

Perhaps you want your
clothing made to your meas
ure. Did you suspect that
we make to measure a
half-million dollars worth of
clothing every year for peo-
pie we never saw and never
expect to see? You may
be very certain that we have
a way of doing such work
without much risk of a mis-
fit; for a misht, you know,
comes right back to us. We
are pretty careful about
making blunders when we've
got them all to make good.

Nor a STRANGE PLACE.

1t isn't as if you were go
ing to a strange place. The
chances are you've been here
before, and know something
of our ways. Perhaps your
neighbor has been here; and
has told you it was a good
place to go to. Perhaps
you've only read that we
sell a good many clothes,
and say to people who buy
them: Bring them back if
you don't find them every
way to your liking.
Now this is really why we
are not strangers to any
body: because we deal with
everybody as with a neigh
Dor; and expect him to come
right back if he has cause of
complaint.

HOW HE LET SIS, 900, 600 SLIP THRoUGH
HIS FINGERS.
After all the wranglings and litiga-
tion between. Bell and Gray as to the
priority of the invention of the mag
neto-telephone it now transpires, by
the discovery of a misplaced document,
that neither Bell nor Gray were the in
ventors of the first magneto-telephon
on record. According to the records
of the patent Office the first claim filed
for a patent on magneto-telephon
~yas by T. A. Edison. Why this fact
involving $15, 600, 600, has not before
been brought 10 light is an index to
the eeeentricities of genius and fair
illustration of the character of the
famous wizard of Menlo Park.
Had Mr.. Edison, or the company
owning his patent, established the
claim by the proofs which have since
come to hight through the records of
the patent Office, and had he also been
able TO show that he had used proper
diligence in putting his invention into
practical operation, Bell and GRAY
would both have been annihilated, and
millions of dollars would have been
saved to the purchasers of his patent:

Singing as He Died.

Rarely out OF prison, but when in is
always cheerful and willing to work, old
Anthony Thomas, the veteran white
washer, considered himself as a regular
attache of the city prison. Yesterday
Warden Finley noticed that he acted
strangely. Early yesterday morning the
Old man sat IN his cell, brush in hand,
and his pail Of whitewash in front OF
HIM. He complained OF being sick, but
declined to lay of. He was humming an
old camp meeting hymn when he sud
denly spIang to his feet, lifted his brush
in the air and dropped dead.

less OF the Constitutional look" than be

ed to explain his phrase he described it
as the look peculiar to all children id a
repressive institution as distinguished
from children well nourished and ten

1T is STATED upon good authority
that thirty-three years is the average
duration of life. 1t also appears that
one.fourth of the population of the
globe die before the seventh year. and
one-half before the seventeenth. 1t is
computed that out Of ten thousand
individuals only single one arrives at
his ninetieth year but one in five hun

he should count the votes himself, ad-
fnitting such as he Thought entitled to
admission, and rejecting al Others,
and that IL the result thus reached sat
isfied him he was elected, 4he should
take possession of the White House
with an armed force, and should set
the majority in both Houses of Con-
gress at defiance, and begin the dis
charge of executive functions. There
are probable not many of them who
like to see the plan set down in this
way in black and white beforehand,
but there is no denying the correct
ness Of this description of it. This is
what is meant, and the only thing that
can be meant, by choosing q military
man for the Presidency because If
elected Tin his own opinion) ''he will
see that he gets the place" In plain
English, it means revolution. 1t means
the introduction into the Government
of the practice of having each candi-
date pass on his own claims to the
Presidency, and then fight in order to
assert them. 1t means that we have
reached stage in our politics in which
strategical skill and military courage
are the best qualifications for our chief
officer, as they were for the kings of
the Huns, Visigoths, and Lombards.
