lion No. ~ to the NTH article OF the
constitution. The design of this
amendment IL To alter section IL OF
said article, which requires monthly
terms OF county criminal court, aud
civil terms every two months, so that
county courts snail hereafter hold ses-
sion, both civil and criminal, every
three months, and TO allow probate
business disposed of either III term
time or vacation.

You also ask what I think of the
amendments, and whether | would adj
wise you To support or oppose them. In
answer, | have only to say, read them
and iudte for yourselves; and when
you shall have done so, you will doubt
less conclude that they contain much
that Republicans conteuded for in the
last campaign and nothing we opposed.
True, the amendments do not contain
all we demanded last fall; but so far
as they go they are steps in that direc-
ton. Ii, by supporting the iudepend-
ent movement, and thus halving the
majority OF Gov. Ireland at the last elec-
ton, We have assisted III prizing the
Democracy out of the old ruts, and iu-
duciug them to thus manifest Il pro-
gressive tendency, may ii not be hoped

! foregoing ana other reas >ns. And,
"nlle 1t is no test Of party r,ncipit

who casts n ballot TT the election mex

THERE is an unusual apathy in the
stock market which bids fair 10 be-
come permanent and lasting. The
price of Il seat in the stock Exchange
has fallen frcE So ,00O 10 SD 0oo, and
IL is probable that ii will suffer still
farther decline until an uneX pected
reaction sets in, and new flock of
lambs present themselves be sileared.
Ninety-nine one-hundredths of the
business done III the Stock Exchange
is Il species OF gambling in comparison
with which the ancient game of faro
Is highly respects Die and legitimate
business transaction. Gambling in
stocks is nothing more nor less than
laying wager, for the amount of the
margin, that the stock will rise or fall.
Gambling at iao is simply stalking
ones money that particular
card Will he drawn from
the box in advance of some other one.
Tae difference is very slight, except in
Tn one fact that public sentiment rec
ognlzes the one and condemns the
other. The church deacon can g',mbe
in stocks, but 1t would shock his entire
brotherhood to learn that he had cop
pered the ace" AT a faro bank. 1t will
sbe blessing for the country il the
apathy should continue and increase,
until the bulls and bears, the wolves
and lambs of Wall street should be
known only in history. Millions OF
monty glut the banks and safe de-
post companies, waiting tor revival
in stocks, which could be employed in
some OF the honest industries OF the
country 10 great advantage. Lei the
apathy continue.

The Republican party of Pennsyl-
yania, like man detected and accused
OF some monstrous crime, asks for a
suspension of public opinion until
the evidence is all In. The particular
question uponlwhlch 1t desires to be
heard is 'the experimentation surplus
distribution SCHEME for propping the
protective tariff system which was
adopted by the party in convention
assembled. The spokesm for the
party now claim that the scheme WAS
not the work Of the party, the conven-
ton, or even the committee on resou-
tions. That the caloric in the atmos-
phere was responsible for that partic-
ular resolution. That the mercury
stood at 10 deg in tile shade,
when the resolutions were acted upon,
and that in lis sober sense the party
Will renounce them. 1t will not
be forgotten that tine party has
always shown an inclination to disre-
gard any OF lis platform uttsrances
and it will du 50 ia this ease without
exciting surprise.

the special election, at which the

morrow, and the chances are that it
will go by default in nlne.tents of the
voting places in the rural districts of
the state, and that not one-,hird of the
vote will be polled in the towns and
cities. No special effort has been made
to acquaint the public with the impor
lance of the amendments. They have
been printed iii each OF the counties of
the state, rs the law directs, but not
one i'll ten has had an opportunity, IL
they had theiucination, OF comparing

A pEUNInR RESORT.

IL is matter of exceeding regret
that the board Of university regents
could find no one outside of the board
TO accept the position Of proctor of the
university, and that they wele forced
70 the necessity of eIerting an ex-nem-
b,r of the board To the lace at Il salary
ofeighteen hundred dollars perannunl.
The position is Il highly important one
in view of the fact that the university
is TO be opened in the temporary capt.
tol building, where the students will
b. surrounded, not only by state oili-
cinls, but flAnked with saloons. The
duties OF procto among other things,
Is TO look after morals cf the stu
dents, and II will require u steady hand
and cool, clear head to regulate the
morals of the students situated as they
viii be. But SMITH RAGsDALE has
these requirements, and has the nerve
10 exercise them. He made AN excel
lent member OF the board OF regents,
aud will make good proctor. Again
we regret that the bi ard had so small
a margin To draw on il or Ter to CD
tain pro.tcr.

Writing and Speaking.
The Eve

An eloquent piece of writing gains much
by being read or spoken with good elocu-
ton; and even an interior production
will often appear well when delivered
with effect. On the contrary the mos,
splendid composition may be spoiled by
poor delivery. Lord Erskine, one of
England's most distinguished orators
said Of Burke: He is. of all writer's,
the most eloquent, and Of speakers the
most tedious
The person thus addressed expressed
surprise at this startling diction, but he
proceeded: One evening, at the house
of commons. when Burke was delivering
one of his interminable karangues, be-
came anxious, with many others, to go
away. But sat just under Burke's eye,
and was afraid could not leave with
out his noticing me. AT last | dropped
my handkerchief, and. STOPPING to pick

ner and Irish accent, it rive,ed my atten-
ton. read it through again and again
and carried the paper with me into the
country, and kept it in my pocket till il
was completely worn out.
