Mr.. Blaine on the Electoral Count
Resolution.

Mr.. Hlaine's remarks the other day. in
the Senate. on the electoral count resolu-
tons of Mr.. Morgan, were of peculiar in
terest and have attracted great attention.
His speech WAS entirely impromptu and
briet. vet it abounded with thoughts and
suggestions oi great Importance. especial
ly those in relation 10 short terms and an
nual elections. Mr.. Blaine said;
1t is the first duty of common patriotism
that both parties should devote themselves to
\ constitutional. comprehensive remedy. and
not have US present the spectacle every four
years Of going through some extraordinary
contrivance by which We shall prevent
anarchy frcm enguliing the country. | think
the severest strain to which the country WINS
ever subjected outside of the war Of the
Rebellion was in the incidents come -ted
with the settlement Of the Presidency in 1876,
and l doubt whether if the term had been for
ten years this country could have found an
entirely peaceful solution. say that for the
beueIit VI the gentlemen who think we ought
to have longer Presidential term. If that
had been for a ten years settlement of the
Presidency ! do not believe we could have
had rs peaceful an adjustment as We happily
reached. We got the advantage of short
term of four years. giving period in the
near future in which the case might he tried
over again before the high court of the peo-
pie. The shorter the term the more content
the people are to submit. That 10 why the
states that have had annual elections hare
had the most peaceful administrations in this
country. and why they have had the most
peaceful contests. I believe the honorable
Senator from Connecticut and myself ill
both live to see with regret that the New En-
gland States are giving up their old system
of annual elections and resorting To the hi
cnnial period. believe the annual election
of Governor and Legislature in those States
has conduced very largely TO the peacefulness
harmony and success of their administrations,
~ well rs to the general readiness and hearth
ness of submission to the result by the defeated
party. II beaten this year, in only twelve
months you can try it again. and with one or

A Dangerous Toy.

An English paper publishes the fol-
lowing caution, which may be of SER
vice to American parents: A number
of toys imported to Paris from Furth, in
Bavaria, have been seized by the police
because the brilliant colors with which
they were painted were composed of
poisonous materials. Young children
carry almost everything which they hold
in their hands to the mouth, and there
fore neither the coloring nor the
substance Of toys should ever be at all
poisonous.
Toys of brilliant hues, elastic balls,
colored and vanished, and leaden sol
diers in uniform, of every variety, are
among the seizures. The Furth manu-
features send their toys all over Ger.
many, and Germany furnishes nearly all
the cheap toys in England.
1t is very probable that this country
will not escape it's share of the distribu-
tion, so parents should keep a sharp eye
on the nursery, and see that sickness OF
death may not Turk in these means OF
childish amusement.

His Solemn Warning.

"Yaas, there's money made in stocks,
no doubt" said the old man, as he re-
moved his hat and ran his fingers
through his gray locks, "bnt it's a
reesky bizness; its suthin' like betting
on wbar lightning's going to strike, with
the odds in favor of hitting the tree you
stand under"
"Then you never speculate?"
"Never. I dig along on the old farm,
takin one crop with another, and pulling
out stumps when I've nothing else to do;
and if 1 don't make any great shakes, 1
haven't anything to worry over. I had a

"Waal, I was widower then; wife fell

stock and was called purity solid: We

"And what?"
Nothing, except she had dozed that
farm with a barrel of lie, and thus got a
husband for herself and a home for her
five children. When the news came out
I was so cold along the backbone that
they had to kiver me up with horse

"JuStice.'

Justice inveighing against Tenn
perance is something common
sense would regard as rather strange
under the sun, and yet some pre-
sumptious fellow writes in the
Register, against the proposed
Amendment, under the cognomen
of "Justice." His articles, howev-
err, are potent arguments in favor
of the measure, and are doubtless
so regarded by all sensible people
who have patience to read them.
Let a few extracts from his Register
articles show to what extremity
the defenders, of the traffic are driv-
en-. Denouncing temperance ad-
vocates, he derides them as persons
"who would wish chapel to stand
on every hillock and church on
every mountain ;"-"Chagrin is the
cause of their everlasting attempts
to procure legislation for us unwil-
ling sinners ;"-"Itappears very pc
culiar that even tipping is consid-
cred an abominable otfense. Our
ministers make. it such, and by so
doing overthrow their master,
Christ. On very many occasions
he did drink wine; turned water
into wine, and dispensed it to be
drunk among his followers" We
join in Coughs advice to drink all
the wine you can get, made of pure
water. On behalf of the traffic, the
writer proposes as remedy for
drunkenness, "a fine of fifty dol
lars upon every man found totally
drunk" Fine a dead man, whose
last nickel is in the saloon keepers
till, fifty dollars, is good. In fact,
all the writer says is good-non-
sense.
