MISUNDERSTANDING,

They are making MIR. ConklinG and Mr.
Chester A. Arthur very uncomfortable over
a disagreeable and apparently reliable re.
port that the republican vico-prssident elect
was not born in the United States, but in
Cansda, and is, therefore, ineligible to his
Office. 1t would be too bad, after all the
trouble Conkling had in rebuking Hayes and
'vindicating" his New York friends, by tho
nomination and election OF Arthur, if some
Hayes or Garfield man, or, worse STILL Some
copporhesd democrat should preside over
the senate for tho next four years. Hence
the anxiety this matter is causing them and
the efforts they are making 10 huoh 1t up.
Of course 10 doing so they are resorting TO
good deal of hard lying, rs Fremont and his
friends had TO do curing the campaign Of
1865, in order to clear up n report that he
was foreigner AVID the offspring ola French
dancing master. But this report seems ~ be
30 we'll founded that an Investigation is to
be had, and the indi cations are that it will
be. substAntiated.
Il is not often that an officer, of high grade,
loses his seat because OF hs want of citizen
ship. The most notable instance we can ro-
call is tho case of Mr.. Albert GalaIin, whose
seat in the senate was vacated by resolution
in 1893 because this eminent statesman had
not been citizen Of the United States for
the time required by the constitution,
If MIR. Arthur is elected his place will have
to be filled by the president pro tenn of the
senate. As Judge Thurman retires, new
one must DO elected. They are already can
wasting the sabje9t. The I'M
certainty of the position of certain
senators renders 1t difficult TO determine
Whlch party would DO Successful In such a
contest The majority, too, would be smaller
than on ordinary questions, since the nom-
inee would hardly vote for himself Perhaps
they might take to Judge Davis or General
Malone in order to secure him to one side or
the other. The democrats seem disposed
to give it to southern man, and talk of
Bnyard, Lamar and Garland. They would
talk Of Beck, also, but he, too, is foreigner.
The Oilicr, as il should seem, is not very
desirable one. The vice president is always
regarded, at Washington as dgure-head to
be fired at by senatorial orAtory when in the
chair, and be treated with senatorial indif.
ference when out Of il. Nor does the pres
dent pro tenn succeed permanently TO the
presidency of the United States in case of
death or resignation. In that event he holds
only until new election can be held.
Hence nobody cares TO hold it, We do not
think that MIR. Gaillard, or Mr.. Southland, or
Mr.. Margum, or Mr.. King, o, Mr.. Bright all
OF whom held the office for long time,
when there Was no vice-prasident living, over
set nuch-yslne-upon it. -

yisors or marahals will necessarily exercise
supervision over the state elections, II they
are held on the..ssme day. Now since tols IS
the case, experience has taught that there
are political spoiliators and place.seekera
who do not hesitate TO inaugurate wholesale,
political prosecutions by fase swearing ana
other perricious means, by which numbers
of our best citizens are brought into the fed-
ersl courts on trumped-up charges OF il'cgs'
voting, causing them unnecessary trouble
and expense. I! ia an undisputed fact tn u
this branch of the government has been
largely used for oppression and to s'tsty, tho
greed Of officials. The records Of the federal
courts in Toxss will show tbst thousands OF
our beet citizens have been thus annoyed, and
oppressed. The fines in these cases have
usually been nominal, "a dollar and costs, -
the "costs" constituting the main feature,
that being, not the ends of justice, but the
end of the prosecution, viz; The p'cquisl'es
