members of the Senate, House and
Justices of the Supreme Court was
devised, Senators Edmunds, Conkling
and Frelinghuysen leading in the
work. Each ofthe three emadespeeches
on the passage of the bill, apparently
dividing the three points It contained
among them. TO be brief, the bill
passed, and Mr.. Frelinghuysen, Mr..
Edmunds, Mr.. Morton, Mr.. Bayard,
and Mr.. Thurman were selected to
represent the Senate on the greatest
jury ever impaneled. The result is
known the world over. During the
deliberations Mr.. Frelinghuysen's part
was prominent one, and his col
leagues expressed an Indebtedness to
him, which was extensively compli-
mentary. Singularly enough, the
fifteenth member of the Electoral Com
! mission, Justice Joseph p. Bradley,
was a college mate with Mr.. Freling-
huysen, lived the most of his life
within block of him in Newark and
studied law in the same Office.
The close of the session of Congress
in 1877 left Mr.. Frelinghuysen weak
ened in health from over-exertion. He
returned to his old country home on
the banks of the Raritan, in Somerset
County, New Jersey, and rested. He
then resumed practice in the United
States Supreme Court and in the Sup.
RENE Court and Court of Chancery OF
New Jersey. He has taken no active
part in politics since then, except as
an occasional public speaker. He was
known among his friends MS an advo.
cate of General Grants nomination at
Chicago in 1880, but made no personal
effort to secure Il delegation fro M New
Jersey in his favor. He supported
President Hayes during his contests
within the party, and was warm
adherent and earnest advocate OF
General Garfields election, until pre-.
vented by malarial attack from any
personal participation in the campaign
Personally Mr.. Frelinghuyscn is tall
erect and handsome, with fine head
set nobly on his shoulders. His face
clean shaven, is impressive and intel
lectual. His eyes are grey and clear
and quick. He resides in Newark
when not at his country.seat or at the
watering places, and has II handsom,
house there, rs well us one in Wash
ington. He has three sons, the eldes
being the present Receiver of tn,
Mechanics National Bank at Newark
and three daughters. In many ways
he is the ideal of what has been called
the true American aristocrat-intel
lcctual, shrewd, wealthy, of Il fine ole
family, pure life courtly manners
handsome presence, easy humor ant
dignified without being at all unap
| proachable. His closest personal friend,
in Washington during his term rs
Senator are said to have been Senator
Edmunds, Justice Bradley, Secretary
Hamilton Fish and President Grant.
Mr.. Frelinghuysen is not lacking in
experience in the Office of Secretary
of State, having been working mem.
Der of the Committee OIL Foreign Re
lations of the Senate for years, and
possessing familiarity with the de-
partment which few other Senators
boast of at the time of his Senatorial
service, backed by the education of 8
scholar, the instincts of man of senst
and the heart of a gentleman. He is
an eloquent speaker, possessing TO 0
marked degree the requirements of al
orator.

The only way which the Chicago
Tribune sees to assure the advantages
of common school education every
where, and to enjoy the resulting
benefits of the more intelligent citizen
ship, is to create National fund that
shall be ample to support schools in all
the States and Territories, and to
make the distribution thereof subject
to such conditions rs shall guarantee
the extension of equal school facilities
to all races, all classes and all sects.
Chicago handles about one-third
of the entire forest products of the vast
pineries of the Northwest. Millions
of acres of timber lands in Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and H.
inois are tributary to her market.
The entire product of these pineries
last year in manufactured lumber
amounted to about $3.50, 100000 feet,
and, according to the best estimates at
this date, the production for the pres
ent year will show an excess of at least
twelve per cent.

Presidential Succession.
Philadelphia Press


Senator Garland has introduced q
bill modifying the act of 1889 i'm regard
to the Presidential succession by pro-
viding that in case of the removal by
death, resignation or inability of the
President and President, the
Secretary of State, or if there be none,
the Secretary of the Treasury, or in
lieu of him the Secretary Of War shall
act as President, instead Of the Presi-
dent pro TEN. of the Senate, or
Speaker of the House as now provided.
Some journals criticise Mr.. Garlands
bill, insisting that the Cabinet officers
mentioned should be added to the
present line of succession rather than
substituted for it. The change Mr..
Garland proposed is however, Il highly
desirable one. 1t was a mistake to
put the President pro tenn. and Speaker
in the Presidential succession in the
first place. They are not officers of
the United States but of the separate
Houses of Congress, and hold their
OHiy lhN BIN'toulS vi lIOSC
bodies. Should President pro tenn.
Davis now succeed to President
Arthur's place several serious ques-
tions would arise at once. Would he
continue to be Senator and President
pro TEN. of the Senate, as well as Ac-
ting President of the United States, or
would his tenure of the lesser office
cease OH his assumption of the greater.
Senator Morton held that it would not,
and in such n case, the one succeed
ing to the Presidents duties would
have 20 continue Senator and Presi-
dent pro tenn, in order to be President
As the Senate can change its President
pro tenn. at pleasure, it could therefore
change the Acting President of the
United States at its discretion. The
same difficulties apply in the case of
Speaker. The Secretary of State, who
is an executive officer and necessarily
in sympathy with the Administration,
providentially or otherwise termina-
ted, is the proper person to administer
the office Of President until the people
can fill the vacancy.

ed young lover turned to go when hi'
friend stopped him.
Il, too, wish to see Mrs. Rivers" he
said. 81 shall follow you presently
DO not leave the house till | shall have
come. Promise me you will not, John,
The young man promised and hur-
ried away, impatient to surprise Jessie
with the proofs Of his loyal and gener'
GUS devotion.
ooh, John you ought not to have
done this " she cried, in a voice of re-
gret and distress. "You could not af-
ford it, and besidc-something has hap
pencd, John, that made it unnecessary"
He gazed at her in mute wonder.
The pain Of her sweet eyes startled
him.
"Why could not afford it, my pet ~
he asked, gently, when you are to
share all | have by-and-by, when you
will be my own--my wife p
"Oh, john" she grasped, "you never
asked me to marry you, and now you
are too latc-oh, John, too late !"
And then she covered her face and
began to sob bitterly. The poor child
had never hidden sorrow from him
in all her life She had always gone
to him for comfort in all her griefS,
and it did not occur to her that it was
not quite proper and consistent for him
60 console her for grief like this.
But in the midst of her tears she
suddenly remembered, and she fled
away from his OBTAINING hand to the
farth,-t end Of the parlor, only to meet
Darlington, who had just come in.
"Tcs,ic," he began, kindly. Il have
made my sacrifice, and J have come to

not wish to spare me pain. [ do not

and his. Go to him and comfort him.
You will make him as happy as you
could have made me had heaven meant
me to be your husband. shall see
your mamma, and save you from all
unpleasant explanations.
His goodness touched her. In her
gratitude she could have knelt at his
feet and kissed the kindly hands which
now led her back to her wondering
lover
The next mment he was gone, and
Johns arms were about her, and Johns
kisses were on her lips.
On Tessie's wedding morning she
found among her bridal gifts a mag
nifcent souvenir from Monreith Car
rington, who retained for her all the
delicate and chivalrous sentiment of
such a friendship as only noble gentle
man can give to an adorable lady.

Rights of the Road.

a legal authority, in an opinion as to
the rights Of the road, says if farm
deed is bounded by or upon the road,
it usually extends to the middle of the
roadway. The farmer owns the soil of
half the road, and may use the grass,
trees, gravel, stones, sand, or anything
of value to him, either on the land or
beneath its surface, subject only to the
superior rights Of the public to travel
over the road, and that Of the highway
surveyor to use such materials for the
repair Of the road these materials
may be cartcd away and used elsewhere
on the road. No other man has right
TO feed his cattle there OF cut grass or
trees, much less deposit his wood, old
carts, wagons or other things there.
The owner of Il drove of cattle that
stops TO feed in front Of your land, or
Il drove of pigs which root up the soil,
is responsible to you at law, as much
as if they did the same thing in
side the fence. Nobody's children
have Il right to pick up the apples UNI
der your trees, although the same are
wholly outside Of your fence. No pri-
vate person has a right to cut or lop
of the limbs of your trees in order to
move his old barn or other building
along the highway, and no traveller can
/ hitch his horse to your trees by the
sidewalk, without being liable, if he
gnaws the bark or otherwise Injuries
them. If your well stands partly on
your land and partly outside the fence,
no ncighbOr can use 1t, except by your
permission. Nay, more, no man has a
right to stand in front Of your door and
insult you with abusive language with
out being liable to you for tresspassing
on your land. He has q right to pass
and to repass in an orderly manner !;
a right to use the road and not abuse
il. But Notwithstanding the farmer
owns the soil Of the road, even he can
not use 1t for any purpose which inter
feres with the use Of il by the public
for travel. He cannot put his pig-pen,
wagons, cart, wood, or other things
there, il the highway surveyors orders
them away as obstructing public travel.
If he leaves such things outside the
fence and within the limits of the high
way, as actually laid out, though some
distance from the Travelled path, and a
traveller runs into them in the night
and is injured, the owner is not only
liable to him for private damages, but
also may be indicted and fined for OBJ
structing public highway. And if
he has fence or wall along the high
way, he must place it all on his land,
and not half on the road, as in the case
of division fences between neighbors.
But as he owns the soil, if the road be
discontinued or located elsewhere, the
land reverts to him, and he may en-
close it to the center and use it as part
, Of his farm.
