Mr.. SPRINGER Of Illinois has propos.
ed an amendment to the constitution of
the United States, tho main features Of
which arc to provide for an extensions Of
the presidential term to six years that
a President shall be ineligible for 70.
election the next succeeding term and
that the President and Vice President
shall be elected by tho popular votes oi
the people, although each State shall
have numberor electoral votes equal to
the number of Senators and representa-
tives it has in Congress-. The voting
shall be done by what is known as the
cumulative system. Under this system
each voter has as many votes as the
State has electoral votes. Take Cali
fornia as an example. In the next pres
idsntial election, that State will have
eight electoral votes. So that in that
State. under Springer's plan a voter
would have eight votes for presidential
electors. Now the voter might cast
these votes, one each, for eight presiden.
tial candidates, or he might cast them
two each for four candidates, or he
might cast these eight votes for any
number of candidates less than eight,
giving each candidate as many votes M
he chose, but not to exceed eight votes
altogether. The object of this law is TO
give the minority party in State an
opportunity To be represented in tho
electoral college by electing part OF
the electoral college, which is dono 10y
massing their votes on few candidates.
The amendment also provides for tho
extention of the term of members of
Congress to three years, and that the
term shall begin on the frat of January
next following their election. While
there seems to be nothiug very new in
these propositions, being simply the con-
clusions which many Of the best and
ablest thinkers, who have participated
in the discussions on this subject have
arrived at, yet We think there is merit
enough in them TO justify their adop-
ton The proposition to extend the
presidential term 10 six years, and TO
make President ineligible to succeed
himself viii, we think, commend itself
to large majority of the most intelli-
gent voters of the country. 1t would
remove the temptation which presents
itself to each Peesident, TO be using his
powers and prerogativas in such way
as to secure his own reelection. .Ex-
tending the tarm to six years would
abate the oft recurring changes OF. adj
ministration which have a deletorious
effect on business interests Of the eoun-
try. The proposition to extend the
term of Congressman 70 three years viii
meet with some opposition, bat the
proposition to have the term commence
on the first Of January after election,
should meet with no opposition. We
think this proposition might be amend.
ed by providing that the House, like the
Senate, should be a continuous Lody,
only one-third OF the members being
newly ones at each session. We think
Congressiwould be doing the country
far greater service by desoting its time
to maturing aad adopting the amend-
msnts above, than by squandering their
time in snive.ins manner over sham
civil service reform legislation.

Eds. Democrat:
We are done, Christmas day is over.
We had big Christmas trea, and a
good time generally everybody seemed
to be happy with presents etc. We
should not write this only to say that
somo of the wise ones here have missed
the mark. Having just learned that
three or four of our politicians and bus.
iness managers have set themselves to
work, and have learned who Philo ia.
go consistency Thou art jewell" but
ieelonsIy, envy, egotism and malice is a
hydra-headed monster, they will have
to guess again. The accused. we do not
suppose, ever thought of such a thing.
So with this for them to ponder over
and solve the problem, we will bid the
clique final adieu.

There ID. no habit whose evil effects
are so wide spread as that of gossiping.
And there il no evil habit for whose
contracting there is 10 little excuse.
A seemingly trifling indulgence in this
habit has brought whole communities
into turmoil and strife. An unguarded
use Of the tongue has made enemies,
may be for life, Of those, who, up TO the
time of such tattling, had been lifelong
friends. We have soen families who
had been living in peace aud harmony,
brought into fierce conflict with each
other, because some thoughtle1, ire
sponsib!e person had INDUCED in unli-
censed talk concerning tho relations
between them. Ay, worse than all this.
Hundreds of lives have been lost as tbe
result of an unbr.dled use Of the tongue.
What satisfaction or profit there can be
in tattling and gossiping 10 the csrtain
damage of others is beyond human cal
culation. We have seen schools in q
flourishing condition, broken up or
rendered useless from loo Tree indul-
gence in talk by some thOughtless person,
the teachers reputation tarnished, and
In many cases ruined, and the good
name of the school blighted ell as the re-
suit of the use Of the "nnruly member. I"
We have seen churches disorganized or
shaken to their foundation, because
some members had 80 far forgotten
their christian duty ~ to tatle about
what has been said or done by some
other member. We have seen bcnevo-
lent societies whose power 70 do good
was great, totter to their foundation
in consequence Of i'll advised communi-
cations made by one member 10 another.
Parents are guilty of criminal neglect
if they do not continually, both by pre-
cept and example, teach their children
10 avoid this degrading and evil boar
Ing habit. To teach child successfully
to abstain from this habit Is doing a
better part by it than to leave il a fort
une in dollars and cents. How many
hearts are made to ache in consequence
of dropping words which in themselves
seem innocent. Then let every young
reader always weigh well his words
before speaking. The old proverb,
"tbink before you speak" is one which
it would be we'll for all TO observe.
When tempted to speak evil of any one,
then and there resolve in ysur mind to
find something commendable to say of
such person. How much Of the conten-
tion and strife in this life would be
averted If all would follow this rule.
never saw a person in my life that l
did not think had some good trait or
quality of character. Lot us in this lie
give him due ciedis therefore, and let
Him who Furnishes sin settle the re-
of the account. How we do
admire him who refuses to be sland-
srer, gossiper, backbiter, while We
'ontemn him who gives way to these
oanefnl habits.

Is It not strange how much light the
late elections threw over the pathway
that leads to refOrmi The country will
yet learn, though, that the only royal

est men, to Office. Civil service reform
laws will never make men honest. Dis
honest men will always find way TO
eyade such laws.

PHILADELPHIA TlMEs.

This is the best newspaper published
in Philadelphia. 1t is entirely inde-
pepdent in politics, but treats all politi-
cal and public questions with boldness
and fearlessness that is strikingly
refreshing in these degenerate times
Ii was mainly through its instrumen-
tality that Philadelphia was, about a
year ago, torn from the grasp of ring
of cosruptionists who then controlled
the city government and which was
without parallel in its perfect plans
of public plnnder. It contributed
largely to the overthrow of the Gamer
oman dynasty in the late elections.
We would advise our friends who desire
fearlessly Independent paper to take
the Times.
