UNDER the law passed at the last
session of the Legislature for the
protection of primary elections, an
officer of the late election in Phila-
delphia has been arrested for refus-
iug to receive the ticket Of a legal
voter. The vote was refused on the
ground that the person Offering It
was Wolfe independent, and had
no right to vote at 4 Republican
primary. The prosecution is eyi-
dently a malicious one. The object
Of holding a primary election IS 70
ascertain the VIII of the majority Of
the party holding il. and if a person
not belonging 10 the organization
can vote at it, then the object is de
feated. No one will claim that a
Democrat has the right to vote at 4
Republican primary, and Wolfe
Independent has no better claim.
Neither Of them belong TO the organ
ization holding the election.
1t was the voting Of the Demo-
crass at the Republican primaries in
this county, and their consequent
nomination OF our candidates IN
some instances, that nearly disrupt
ed the party 2 few years since, and
led to the adoption Of our present
stringent rules. II an independent,
who viii not be bound by the nomi-
nations made, unless they please
him, can vote, so can Democrat
and thus can the viii Of the masses
OF the party be at any time defeated.

MR.. BAYNE, of the 23d congression-
al district of Pennsylvania, has intro
duced into the house a bill proposing an
amendment to the constitution in re-
lation to the election of senators. 1t
provides that the U. S. senate shall be
composed of at least two senators from
each state, but for each million inhabit-
ants In excess of two millions, an ad-
ditional senator shall be allowed; fur
thermore that the senators shall be
elected by the people of the several
states.
AS Mr.. Bayne is from Pennsylvania,
which would be entitled to three SELF
ators under the proposed amendment,
and as he has the senatorial bee buzzing
in his bonnet, and was Il candidate be-
fore the Pennsylvania legislature at the
time Senator Mitchell was elected,
there is much to show why Mr.. Bayne
il 30 anxious to change the organic law
of the country. But Notwithstanding
this fact there Is much to commend in
the proposed amendment. We doubt if
it will ever be adopted, because the ma
jority of the states lack the population
at present and in reasonable pros
~pective-to get the benefit of the third
senator, and they will not adopt it.

What that remedy is has been fully

not to their credulity, but to their judg-
ment and common sense. 1t is not only
pure and vegetable in its nature, but it

cured even the most pronounced cases

During the year 1881 there were l..
547, 498 cattle, including calves, reeeiy-
ed at Chicago, against 1,3S2,4T7 cattle
and calves in 1880. These figures show
a gain of los, 02l head of cattle for the
past over all previous years, which is
certainly a grand gain when 1t is re-
membered that the receipts of 1850
were the largest then on record.
Chicago's gain has been almost wholly
in Texas and northern range cattle,
as the receipts of both corn-fed cattle
and eastern dairy calves were very much
less than during the previous year. Our
receipts of cattle from the plains were
beyond the expectations of h most
sanguine. There were las, 14O more
Texas and northern range cattle recelV-
ed here last year than in 1880, there
being an increase of 81 100 in Through"
Texans and "a, o40 head of "wintered"
Texans and northern rangers. AS prices
for range cattle were 81 q $1,000 per
head higher than during the previous
year, it will be seen that Texas and
Northern ranchmen received over 49,.
OO0, 600 more for the grass cattle mar
ktted at Chicago than during the year
1850. Had there been only the same
number of range cattle received in the
two years, the receipts would have sold
for about 81, SOC, 900 more than the
prices got in 1880. When did the ranch
men experience a more severe winter
than the one of 1SS0-s1: or when was
there ever such a market as the n of
1887 Among the oldest ranchers there
are some who can look back into the
ff1ies and answer the first question
without much difficulty but the latter
is lone too many for all.-Drouer's
