TIE ELECTORAL COUNT.

The electoral votes for pre- sident and
vice.president will be countf.d by the Two
houses Of congress on the 18th Of Febru-
Any. As there Is no dis pute concerning
the re. ult Of the late 81 ection the count
ing will be . mere mo tier Of form, but IL
there were any differences or doubts
trouble would '0s likely to arise, for COR
gresS Is no batter prepared to overcome
such dificrItkcs than 1t has been in the
past. That there isneed of legislation on
this mater Is q fact admitted by all, and
why it hiss been delayed 80 long is some
thing we cannot quite understand. 1t is
true that bills have been introduced from
time 10 time to cover all doubtful points,
but they have been..defeated or allowed to
die n slow death, and thetwo bills now be.
fore congress-one in the senate and the
other In the house-will probably meet
The same fate as their predecessors. Now,
however, is the time for action upon this
important matter, so that at future pres
idential elections all possibility of trouble
will be prevented. We cannot afford to
leave the door open for o quarrel that
might involve the whole country In civil
war and bloodshed. The senate bill,
origiually introduced by Senator Ed.
munds, provides, among other things,
that each state may establish
tribunals for the trial of electoral contests
and that their decision shall be final;
that II there be any dispute as to the law
falpess of the state tribunal, or If there
be double returns from q state which has
not provided such atribunal, only those
returns shall be counted which the two
houses, acting separately, shall concur in
receiving, and that any single return
shall be counted unless rejected by both.
The house has not concurred in this
measure and is not likely to.
The house bill introduced by Eaton,
provides that in case of a dispute over the
electoral e%return of a state the question
shall be determined in joint convention
of the house by a majority vote. AS the
house votes by states In choosing a presi-
dent when there is no election by the
people, and as the senate has no voice In
such election, this proposed compromise
offers o way of getting out of the diff
Guilty. But it is not likely that
the senate will consent to go into
Joint convention and vote with
the house In a disputed election
for president, as the senators would be
greatly ou~tnumbered. 1t is not likely,
therefore, that the two houses CT congress
will come to any agreement, and conse.
quently the country will be left exposed
to the dangers that were threatened by
the contest of 1876, without even the
safeguards of an electoral commission,
for it is not probable that, should the
same circumstances arise, another such
commission would be agreed upon to
settle the difficulty. The conclusion
seems to be that no election bill will be
passed until both houses of congress ale
of the same political complexion.

Two little boys who stood ON a Tonnes
see railroad track four hours in order to
signal a passenger train SO that it would
not run into q swollen stream which had
swept away the railroad bridge, were re-
warded by a collection of money from the
passengers. Pierre Lorrillard, the New
York millionaire, who with a party of
friends occupied a Mann boudoir car
next to the engine. and for which he was
paying sl00 a day, gave the boys q mu-

Unless more Roadway is made in the con
