How to Become q Candidate in
England.
Yutk L zening Pos.

From the New Ycfk Evening Pos.
Mr.. James Bryce has been recently
giving lecture in Cambridge on the
way in which man in England may
"become candidate or as we shoul6
say, may get nomination. The sys-
tenn, he says, is as follows:
"In the majority of cases, the initiative
must come from the candidates, though
they desire to make it appear that the
office cones to them. The person who
desires to become candidate looks
about for q constituency to elect him
Usually he IS not wholly at sea. Ht
generally has some friends or connec
tons, so that he stands a better chanc'
in one place than in others. But If he
is wholly at sea. he usually goes to the
central Office of the party i'll Londol
and saws that he is candidate, saying
also what he holds as his opinions aDc
what he is ready to put up"
After this it is no wJnder that a nomi-
nation, once secured, should be followed
by canvas of a strange sort. 1t consists
Of what Mr.. Bryce picturesQuely calls
"nursing" the constituency. The candi
date ''gets his friends to give dinners,
he opens "bazars," and ''buys at them
lot of ugly things that he does not want
and leaves outside the door," he "meets
tho ladies'" subscribes to horse race J;
sometimes buys a fine house and gives
entertainments. American candidate!
for congress, thank Heaven, do not dare
10 go tsrough any such degrading pro
cesses, .snd even in the presidentia
field, where we always hear SO mucl
nowadays of the influence Of money
eur system is very different.

Neglect of Alaska,

ever officially reported at Washington,
has not been publicly made known like
that of the other territories. All VIC
know of it is vague. We suppose it con-
tains about 365 900, 900 acres. We guess
it has at least one great river with vol
ume Of water at its mouth equal to that
IF theVolya at least, and probably that
of the Mississippi. We infer that it has
mines Of gold, silver, copper, iron, coal,
and forests of valuable timber. We
know that it yields rich harvest every
year to fur company, and that there are
fisheries that might be made to yield
great deal more ii the proper protection

else it remains as much q terra incOgni.

Bills are being showered into the con-
greesiona' hopper at Washington. Every
member "a loaded down with bills. In
the Forty-seventh Congress nearly ele-
ven thousand of these bills and resolu-
tons were introduced, all of which ex-
cept few hundred, persisted. Some
died borning," others succumbed to
poor nursing. others failed from negle ct,
quite number were talked to death
not q few died q violent death, but al
most all expired from simple old age.
History will no doubt repeat itself in
the new Congress. For long series of
years he total number of bills has
steadily risen, while the ratio of. bills
passed has declined. As the crush in
crcases it grows harder and harder to
squeeze any single measure through on
its merits, SO that nearly all legislation
is done by provisions in the appropria.
ion bills, not strictly germane to their
objects. The real work is done
by the committees, hence
the anxiety to know the names and
views of members thereof. If a bill
passes through, the ordeal of commit.
Tee 1t gets on the file. There its chances
of being smothered, unless it be of great
Oh universal concern, are as ten to one.
The Representative who understands
the ropes and the House, is the most
successful. The body, of which be is q
member, has its humors and its capriees.
Sometimes it ID in such a mood that no
measure can 90 through. On other oc.
casions il is neither critical nor scrutin-
ixing. This year, but little IL expected
of congress beyond the manufacture of
presidential capital for one side or the
otter.
