An Expensive Institution.

The law requires that two certified
copies of the electoral vote OF each
state shall be forwarded to the presi-
dent of the senate, one by mail and
the other by a messenger who must
come to Washington and deliver 1T IN
person before the first Wednesday OF
the succeeding January. This is to
guard against the possibility OF accl-
dent by which one might fail to reach
its destination. The law allows no
compensation to these messengers for
their time, but pays each of them 70
cents per mile for the distance, ac-
cording to the usual mail route from
the capital to his state, the meeting
Mace of the electors, to Washington.
At the treasury to-day, writes Wash
ipgton correspondent to The Cleveland
Herald, more out. of curiosity than
ANYTHING else, procured from the
.aisbursing clerk the figures below,
showing the distances from Washing
ton to the various capitals, and the
amount paid to each messenger. The
milege was fixed many years ago, in
the days of the stage-coach, and has
never been changed. Messengers
coming from the remote states receive
a very COuiIOrldDle diuouHI. 1lOu'oiy
most Of them travel on passes, but if
they have to pay their fare there will
still be enough to buy very good
show of Christmas presents. Or If
athey choose to stay couple of months
and witness the dedication of the
Washington monument and the inau-
guration of the new president, they
can board at first-class hotel all the
time, patronize cabs and the opera,
and still have a full purse to go home
on. The luckiest man is the Oregon
messenger, who receives S776 so, and
the unluckiest the Maryland man, who
has to be content with $40 so.
The distance figures are interesting,
conveying as they do a pretty clear
idea of the extent of this country of
ours. From the capital of Florida to
the capital of Oregon by way OF
Washington, which is but little out
of the line. is more than four thousand
miles-nearly sixth of the circum-
ference of the globe. The figures are
arranged with reference to the dis
lance from Washington:

A Valuable Discovery.

A graduate of Yale College, DR.. Sam

ytical Chemist, Washington, d. c.,
makes the following official statement
''To the thousands whose systems in
stinctively shrink from the use of Nor
phia and Opium, and especially to
mothers, who justly dread the evil, and
at times, fatal effects of these dangerous
drugs, the Red Star Cough Cure must
prove boon. 1t is not only entirely
free from all opates, poisons, and
emetics Ga thing which not one cough
preparation in ten can boast), but it is
altogether an original and most happy
combination of the best remedial agents,
and is as harmless as it is effective /

and numerous practical tests-the lat
ter in every case resulting in a speedy
cure"

The average distance of the thirty
eight capitals from Washington is 891
miles. To bring the 401 electoral
votes to Washington costs an average

votes was $5,299.75, an average of
S28.9l each, while the PIG votes for
Cleveland and Hendricks cost but
S3,16S.75, or Sl4.53 each, small
