Frank Cobb, the young man who has
placed his name among the list of fratricidee

in Texas township, Kalamazoo county, about
two miles east of Mattawan.

man, of gentlemanly appearance, and is con-

English snobbery has once more manifest
cd itself in the shape of an unwarranted
insult to the Hilsdales, the champion
amateur rowing club of America.
The gentlemen comprising this club were
sent to England as the duly accredited rep
resentatives of the National Amateur Rowing
Association, accompanied by Mr.. Watts, the
President of the association. But, notwith-
standing this, the London Rowing Club
unanimously adopted the following resolu-
ton:
Taking into consideration the vagueness
of description of several members of the
Hillsdae crew, the committee would not be
justified in recognizing the crew as amateurs
i'll accordance with the English definition Of
the term, and cannot without further evil
dence advise the acceptance of their chal-
lenge.
According to the English definition of an
amateur, no man who has ever soiled his
hands with honest toll, or who has ever done
anything except to depend on rich ancestors
for a worthless existence, is to be recognized
as an amateur or gentleman. The real
truth of the matter is, that these too utterly
utter young British snobs are afraid to meet
American brain and Drawn in fair and hon
orable contest, and they take this sneaking
method to avoid it. The right thing for the
Hillsdales TO do now, is to shake the dust of
old England from their feet and English
water from their oars, and let those ungentle
manly sprigs of English nobility row their
own races. They are unworthy of recogni-
ton by American gentlemen. Our boys can
give them lesson any day, which they would
do well TO heed, not only i'll rowing but also
in good manners.

The Louisiana Legislature has passed bill
ernor, the precise title of which is not given,
but which should be entitled IAN act TO pre-
vent the election of any other persons than
democrats to congress from the state of Lou
isiana." Should the bill go into effect it
would accomplish the work for which it
was designed better than most bills do. The
bill provides that the governor shall appoint
three supervisors of election for each parish
when congressman are to be voted for, and
and makes over to these supervisors all the
electoral machinery, and at the same time
makes them absolutely the creatures of the
governor, for they are removable at his will.
Ballots for congressman are to be cast into a
separate box at each polling-place, and for
every precinct the supervisors are to ap-
point three commissioners, '.who shall not all
be of the same political party, if suitable per-
sons of different parties are to be had in the
election district but if republicans who inn
press the supervisors as suitable are not to be
had, then all the commissioners will have to
he democrats, and if any supervisors are too
easily suited with republican candidates for
the position of commissioner of election, the
governor can summarily remove them. The
commissioners can fill vacancies in their own
number, and if none of them arrives at the
polling place, any three voters who happen
10 be there at the time may serve as commits
sioners. 1t is not likely that republicans will
be allowed to attend the polls early if there
he any doubt about the attendance of the
commissioners, and if any of the commits
sioners should be republicans, which would
I've hardly possible, they could readily be de-
tanned and their places filled from the citizens
at the polls at the hour for opening. The
supervisors are to furnish the commissioners
with lists of the persons qualified to vote
in the estimation of the supervisors at the
several polling places, and if the supervisors
happen inadvertently to leave of the name of
a man who is entitled to vote, the bill does not
explain what he can do about it. The super
visors can ouly do what the governor wants
done, and the commissioners can only allow
those persons to vote whose names are on the
list furnished TO them. One would suppose

Hostilities in Egypt began on the 10th
inst, by the bombardment of the forts at
Alexandria by the English fleet, 1t does not
very clearly appear how England has any
valid pretense of right to begin war against
the Egyptians, outside of the rule that might
makes right. But this is generally excuse
enough for the British government when it
desires to 'gobble" any additional territory,
or seize upon any advantage for itself at the
expense of those who are unable to main
tain their rights. 1t would not be at all sur
prising, however, if the Egyptian ilnbroglio
should eventuate in general European war,
as it is hardly possible that other European
nations will let Johnny Bull have things all
his own way.

that these provisions left but little TO be de-
sired but the authors of this bill were deter
mined TO run no risks;.they would make assu-
rance doubly sure, and take bond of fate,
for the tenth section of the bill provides that
when the hour for closing the polls arrives
the commissioners shall lock the box, with
tally-sheet, if used, inside and seal up the key
in an envelope, and deliver both, together with
the poll book, if a tally was not used, to
the supervisors, who shall at any time within
five days meet at the Office of the clerk of the
district court, and count the votes in the pres
ence of witnesses, who may be selected by
themselves for aught the bill shows That is
after every precaution has been taken to keep
republican votes out of the box, the supervis-
ors shall have the custody of the uncounted
votes for five days, in which to fix the thing
up in any way that circumstances render nee
essary. The bill also provides that during
the voting, no person except certain designa-
ted officers, and the voters Nh they vote, shall
be. permitted within twenty-five feet of the
polling place, which affords the officers ample
warrant for keeping the negroes back far
enough to let all the white men crowd in front
and take possession of the polls. And yet the
authors of this excellent bill were not salts
fed with all this, for the bill provides that
no ballot will be valid unless lit is written
or printed on paper furnished by the secre-
tary of state, or upon paper in every respect
precisely like such paper" OF course, the
paper could be water marked SO that the re-
publicans could not duplicate it and if the
supply of the secretary of state gave out be-
fore they were supplied there would be moth
ing for them to do about it. The size and
the kind of print on the ticket are carefully
specified, and any mark of any kind on n
ticket would vitiste it, Such marks as this
most painstaking and specific bill contem-
plates might get on ticket by accident and,
as the supervisors are to have the tickets in
their possession for five days before they
are counted or seen by any persons except
themselves, it would be no trick at all for
them to mark as many republican tickets as
they might deem necessary. In fact, the
| legislature of Louisiana might just "a we'll
have dispensed with all this rigmarole, and
simply enacted that no ballots other than
those cast for the regular democratic nomi-
nee shall be counted.-ChicagO Times.

GENERAL NOTES.

Candidate Stewart believes that he
would receive 10000 votes for Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania if the election
were held now. and ne thinks the In
dependent tide is rising every day. The
canvass, he says. will result in one of
three things: "If the Independent
ticket is elected, the result will be the
destruction of the machine, dethronjng
the Bosses, purifying and uniting the
party. If General Beaver is elected
it will result in the dislntegration of
the party, while at the same time
Cameron will tighten his grip on the
machine and use it for his own selfish
political purposes as shamelessly in
1884 as he did in 1880. If Mr.. Patti
son is elected then that clears the
decks, and the party can then come
together and be stronger than it is To-
day."
