ONE of the greatest cOnundTums of
the day IS. how does it happen that some
members of Congress. on an annual sal
airy of fre thousand dollars, in few
years become milliOnaires. Something
like twenty years ago Blaine. Sherman,
Allison. of Iowa, Window, of MinnesO-
ia, and COnEliug, were all in Congress
together and all of them were as poor as
church mice, They were all aoout the
same age and all of them have managed
to keep in office from that time to the
present, except Conkling, who resigned
his seat in the Senate in May of last
year. Blaine is now a millionaire. So
is Sherman, and a blOated one. too. AL
lison is very wealthy and Window is
ditto. COnkling is the only one of them
all who is not rich. He is as able
man rs any Of them, and had the same
opportunities, but they don't seem to
have yielded him the same golden re-
turn, The difference between him and
the others as regards the size of their
respective piles is very remarkable.
Every man can draw his own conclusion
from the premises. Whatever may be
ConkIing's faults, and they are many
and conspicuous, his admitted personal
integrity goes far to redeem them all.

JUST after the Queen of England. a
week ago yesterday evening. had start

shooting was Immediately seized bv a
policeman and the pistol secured. The
would-he assassin proved to he a man
named ROderlck Maclean. about twenty
seven wears of age, and his business
that Of clerk or assistant to a London
grocer. He is believed to be insane. or,
as Guiteau would say, INSPIRED. - This
is the fourth attempt that has been
made upon the life of the Queen. The
first was in 1910, something over two
years after she assembled the throne, by
a crazy lad named Oxford. who was sent
to lunatic asvlum. The next was in
1912 by John Francis, who was senten-
ced to be hung, bat was subsequently,
transported for life. The third attempt
was in July of the same year, bv !. w.
Bean. who was insane and sentenced TO
eighteen months imprisonment. In
neither OF the four attempts was the
Queen hurt, nor was any of the persons
who made them an Irishmau. How
true it is that uneasy lies the head that
wears a crown"

RESPONSIBLE FOR ITs ACTToSs,--A de-
cision of interest to banks has been rendered
In theDstrictCourt of Cincinnati The facts
of the case are that O. @. Frank was led
through ia lse statements of one Leonard, to
buy thousand dollar note or mortgage from
a Mrs Howard, subsequently ascertaiued to
be fictitious parsonage, giving therefor his
check for 914 % This check was presented
to Kuhn q Sons, bankers, by veiled lady,
whom Leonard identified by payee, Mrs.
Howard and endorsed for. 1t was a year
before the trick came to light, and Frank
brought suit against the bank to recover
the amount of the check. which was tried
and resulted i'm verdict in favor of Frank
The bank brought the case into the District
Court upon error Judge Smith, in decid-
ing the questions, said that the bank was
responsible for its actions, was bound to
know whom it paid to, and was bound by
the endorsement it accepted. He susta ined

THE love for office grows by what 1t
feeds upon. and hence those who knew
him were not in the least surprised at
the announcement last week In the
Pittsburgh papers that George V. Law
renee, of Washington county, has coft-
se,lteeI'' to become a candidate for Con-
gress against Shallenberger, who is now
serving his third term as member from
the Washington, Beaver and Lawrence
district Lawrence commenced hold
ing office at time whereof the memory
Of few men in the State outside of his
own county runneth not to the contrary.
He was in the State Senate in 1850, and,
according to the time-honored custom
of this State, must have previously bios
somed as statesman by serving in the
House. Has there been time since
then that he has not, like true patriot,
been devoting his valuable time and his
talent to the State or the country in an
official position If there has been our
memory is sadly at fault. Sometimes
he is in Congress and sometimes in the
Legislature, alternating between the
two places, and if he was gifted with
the rare faculty of the Irishman's bird
of being in two places at the same time
he would only be too glad to fill both
positions. He is a member of the State
Senate now, and as his term of office ex-
pires next December, he is just in a po-
sitiOn to be elected to Congress again
next November, If his health holds
out, as we hope it will, Cor we know him
and admire his many good traits of char
acter, the young Republicans of Wash
inEton county, when they go to the polls
to cast their first ballot at the last cleo
tion to be held during the present CEN
tury, will be asked to vote for George
V. Lawrence for some Office, just as
their fathers commenced voting for him
before the first half OF tho century expir-

Presidential electors must hereafter
make the choice, yet the popular vote of
the nation is against him, as 1t was
against Hayes. 1t is now time to change
the mode of electing President. Should
not the constitution be so amended as
to give to the people the direct choice of
the highest officers of the Government 2
The records show that MI. Lincoln did
not receive a majority of the popular
vote. and that Mr.. Hayes was beaten by
a quarter of million of ballots cast for
Mr. Tilden and now agiaH General
Hancock Is conceded a popular majority.
Hence comes the question, who elects a
President of the UnitedStates?Net ma
joriUy of the people, but a political patty
representing a minority of the people.
Theoretically our Federal Government
is founded on the will of the people ex-
pressed in the choice of those who ad-
minister it. But do they really elect
the President of the United States !?
They do not elect him directly, and
therefore do not elect him at all. As it
is the voice of party supercedes the
voice of individual voters. Let the
mode of electing aPreeident be changed.
Let the constitution he so amended as
to give the direct choice of the highest
officer of the Government. The elector-
al college has completely failed to an
swer the ends contemplated bv its pro-
jectors. It is the monument Of a great
and conspicuous mistake, and the sooner
we get rid of it the better. The Amer
lean people have outgrown it, and 1t
should be- done away with. In the
light of events it is strange it was adOp-
ted in the first place, as the absurdity is
manifest.
THE SHOTGUN NOT FEARED NOW.
The CAV lothario. COnkling, can now
visit Mrs. Snrague without the fear of
shot gun. That lady now blushes in her
maiden soubriquet, Miss Kate Chase.
The only things now in the way OF Miss
Chase's surroundings are three precious
daughters whe are called the Misses
Spra0ues. Roscoe. as I said before. can
now visit Katie without fear of shot
gun.
ONLY SHERMAN LEFT
The German philosopher. Carl Schurz,
was in Washington city the other day
seeking for some mOmento, or to hear
even a kind remembrance Of the Haves
administration. but the poor man dis
covered that even the memory Of the
great fraud had almost faded from the
puh1ic mind. The philosopher found
that the only foSSile left TO tell of deeds
that were dark and tricks that were
vain was John Sherman.

THE President received letter on
Monday last. from his bosom friend,
Roscoe Conkling, declining the office of
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court,
to which Mr.. Arthur nominated and
the Senate confirmed him. What rea-
sons Mr.. Conkling assigns for putting
so great an honor aside are not, howev-
er, known. as his letter has not been
made public. If his consuming pride
would have permitted him to put his
declination upon the distinct ground
that he isn't a good enough lawyer for
so exalted a position, every intelligent
man in the country, and especially
every good lawyer. with perhaps the
single exception of David Davis. of Il

who was always infatuated with Conk-

THE MODE OF ELECTING A
RESIDENT.

There never was such a delusion as
our present method of choosing a Pres
sident. At present an electoral col
leger is interpOsed between the people
and the election. The voice of party
supercedes the voice Of the individual
voters. The consequence IS that our
Presidential elections, in repeated in
stances, have very clearly demonstrated
that the man for whom a large majority
of the ballots of the people are polled, is
not elected. while candidate receiving
a minority of the ballots cast and elect
ed and Installed. No American states
man ever saw more clearly or endeavOr
ed more earnestly and Zealously to
amend this fault than Presi'd Jackson,
who repeatedly urged upon Congress a
radical connection of it. In his first an
nnal message to the Senate and House
of Representatives, be said: ''To the
people belong the right of electing their
Chief Magistrate, il was never designed
that therein choice should in any case be
defeated, either by the intervention of
electoral colleges. or by the agency con-
fided. under certain contingencies, to

ical wisdom, and they are emphaciZed

years of our history While the cleo
