had received the electoral majority, in
stead of Garfield, and the President Of
the Senate should refuse to attend and
open the certificates, there would bs
the same confusion. Yet the President
of the Senate has the same right to ab-
sent himself that the majority Of the
House has. But this ia child's play.
The Constitution does not say who
shall decide between certificates, nor
who shall count the votes, and as it Is
proved that the omission is full of peril,
and will expose the country to the
gravest risks every four years, there Ii
no duty more imperative upon Con-
gress than to pass law supplying the
omission. As between the Edmunds
bill. which provides that disputes shall
be settled in the States, and that ii
there are two organizations. each claim
ing to be the State, only that certif-
cate shall be received which both
Houses agree to receive, and the Nor.
gan bill, for which the Democrats are
now contending, which makes either
House of Congress returning board
for every elector in every State, there
can be no difference of opinion among
intelligent men of either party. tits in
no sense whatever o party question,
and sensible Republicans and Demo-
Gratis do not differ upon the absolute
necessity of immediate effective legis-
lation upon the subject--legislation
which shall give to every State the
settlement of its own electoral disputes
and refer to the decision Of both Hous-
es dispute Of State authority. The
attempt to drag along with implica-
tions and constructions and deductions,
in matter where there is confessedly
no direction, is worthy of Sancho Pam
za's Congress at Barataria. If there was
one, but not of the American Congress.

CARE OF THE EYES.

The most serious trouble with read
ers and writer's is, as might be predict
ed from their peculiar work, weak eyes.
We find that engravers, watch-makers
and all others who use their eyes con-
stantly in their work take extra care to
preserve them by getting the best pos
sible light by day and using the best
artificial light at night. The great ar
nv of readers and writer's are careless,
and most of them, sooner or later. pay
the penalty by being forced to give up
night work entirely-some to give up
reading except at short intervals, I'M.

then one loses the eyesight entirely Of

THE IRISH CRISIS.
An Appeal from the National Land
League of the United States TO the
American People.

Boston, February 4.-The following pro.
clamation is issued by the Irish National
Land League of the United States:
Boston, February 40 the members Of
the Land League and Anlerican people
The crisis has been reached in Ire
land. 1t is not the unexpected that has
happened. The suppression of free speech,
arrests without bail, the darkening of the
land with spies and soldiers-coercion-t
blow before the remedy-all these are in
evitable. England moves but slowly to-
wards justice. Behold her well worn
weapons.
There is a new ireland in the mass OF her
people. Courage, patriotism, zeal, endur-
ance, leadership and capacity sufficient for
the time exist. Sirong, thoughtful reso-
lutte men lead. Ii they are silenced
others will leap to fill the vacant
places. Ireland cries for Justice
The Land League is her voice. England
must build more jails before that voice can
be stifled. To the outrage upon the peo-
ple's representatives, to the attempt to
place Ireland upon her knees, to beat and
scourge her before righting her wrongs, to
the arrest of brave Michael Davitt, let
America answer in protest. As the
bell fire flowed upon all the hills
IN that Olden time, when the edict
went forth, so now in every American city
let the fire Of your indignation blaze. Call
public meetings everywhere at once. AS
you saved the irish people from death and
raised them from despair, show that your
sympathy is still with them IN their grand
struggle for justice. Members of the League,
knit closer together, add to your numbers
from new branches in every place, and
where ten friends of the cause can be found
place yourselves in communication
with us. Ireland moves fast to her
supreme crisis, and we must be
close together when the moment arrives.
Trust the patriotism, wisdom and prudence
of the Irish leaders. They are cheered by
your sympathies. Make your sympathy
more marked. Organize everywhere.
Per order, P. A. COLLINS, President.

The Southern Historical Papers con.
tributes fragment of reminiscence in
connection with the Confederate battle
flag, which seems to have local inter
est. 1t is related that it was on the ac-
tual battle field Of Manassas that Gen.
Beauregard first appreciated the necessi-
ty for distinctive and conspicuous battle
flag. He consulted with VIM. Porcher
Miles, one of his staff, and formerly a
member of Congress, design was pre-.
pared-the red field, blue cross and
white stars-and the flag was accepted
by the authorities. The first three flags
in accordance with this design are rep
resented as having been made ''by the
Misses Gary, of Baltimore and Alex
andria, at their residences and the resi-.
dences of friends, as soon as they
could get description of the design
