THEMAN WHO NEVER BLUSHED.

Senator John Sherman, when address.
ing the Ohio Legislature the other day,
was kind enough to speak we'll OF the
New York election laws as safeguards
against fraudulent voting. He held up
the New Y York system as an example for
Ohio IN initiate. The purity ef the bal
lot, he thinks, is not sufficiently protect
ed in Ohio:
The time has arrived when both politica
parties should address themselves TO this
question, and prevent fraudulent voting -
For myself, | could never see in State af-
sairs that politics should be brought into
play. 1t is different with great national
questions In State affairs you should be
patriotic, regardless of political affiliations,
and regard this question from the same
standpoint 1t is apparent that there ought
70 be general revision of the election laws
The purity of the ballot is dependent upon
single districts and small voting precincts
The occurrences which have happened re-
Gently should convince men of all political
Opinions that radical change should be
made"
This plea for honest voting, for the
purity of the ballot, for additional safe
guards against fraud in elections, sounds
strange enough from the lips of the
statesmsn who was the chief promoter
in Louisiana of the fraud by which the
vote of that State was stolen ten years
ago, and who received as his pay the Of
fee of Secretary of the Treasury. But
Sherman did not blush.
Then the unblushing statesman went
on to compliment the man whom he
helped to defraud
81 invite your attention to the exampIe
set by the great State of New York, In
that State, in 1868, great frauds we're perpe-
trated by man whose name will be repudi-
ated by any party-Boss Tweed Then il
was that meE of both political parties went
TO work and reformed their election laws
Ii 1t had not been done civil war would ha We
been inevitable. Men of both parties re-
solved upon reformation, and it resulted in
the best election law in the world In the
awaited the official vote, and the matter was
ended. One of the most distinguished men
TO bring about this reform was Samuel J
Tllden, and am glad TO speak of it here. ="
At this point the Ohio legislators
burst into applause. Perhaps it was the
name OF Tilden that provoked the dem
onstration. Perhaps it was the state
mem that elections are purer in New
ork than n Ohio or Louisiana. for
example. Perhaps it was the cOnsum-
mate audacity which enabled John
Sherman to keep bis blood in his heels
while awakening memories shameful
enough to have made a cucumber turn
crimson. He never bluShed.
Did any man or woman living ever
see the color OF conscious guilt come
into John Sherman's cheeks.-N Y.

IN another column we publish a
speech delivered by Governor Pattisen
to large meeting of farmers and bust
ness men at Lock Haven on yesterday
week. The meeting was held under
the auspices of the Farmers Institute
OF Clinton county. What Gov. Patti.
son says in this address is substantially
repetition in very emphatic language
OF what he has said to the Legislature
in his annual messages. Gov. Pattison
believes that the men who framed the
New Constitution and the people who
adopted it by a majority of $50. .OOO.
meant that it should be promptly and
rigidly enforced. The Governor be-
lieYes primarily and especially, and has
always so maintained, that the Seven
teenth Article Of The Constitution in re-
lation to railroads and their duties to
the public, should be enforced by appro-
pirate legislation, ard it is to that i'm
portant question tnat he 10 .inIy cor
fines himself in his address. His Ian
guage is strong and exceptionally vigor-
Gus because he feels earnestly the vast
public importance of the subject matter
he discusses. 1t is twelve years since
the New Constitution went into effect,
and yet to this day the Seventeenth Az
ticle is practically dead letter. 1t will
remain in that morbid condition indef-
nitely, unless the people breathe life
into it by sending men to the Legisla-
ture who can neither be bought with
money nor awed by threats from the
performance of plain duty.

The Commission consisting of certain
members of the Senate and House of
this State, appointed at the session of
the Legislature last year to compute
and publish the returns of the election
for State Treasurer, met in the Senate
Chamber at Harrisburg, on last We'd
nesday week. The time occupied in
discharging their duties was but a few
hours, as the whole work was done by
three clerks chosen by the Commission.
Governor Pattison acted as President
Of the Commission and the committee
on expenses made a report allowing pay
to each member, ranging from $52. 35 to
Altmon, of Jefferson county. to $50. 81
to Eckles, of Cumberland COUNTY,
Gov. Psttison, who was allowed $50.
refused to accept single penny, and so
did Crawford, of Philadelphia, while
Senator Kennedy, Of the same city, took
only s15 of the $50. 46 allotted to him.
Each of the three clerks was paid S25.
This is one Of the ways of swindling the
State Treasury and is simply q repeti-
tion Of what was done by similar com.
mission two years ago. We wouId like

WINNING A WIFE AT DoAIyoEs.-
In the little hamlet at Ulster Park,
says dispatch to the New York
Tribune, lives a young lady, who for
a long time has been courted by two
young men. She has her affections
between the lovers so impartially that
neither Of them knew which was the
favorits one. The lovers were friends
although rivals. They agreed to play
q game Of dominoes, the winner to ask
the girl for her hand in ma.riaee.
Being anxious to see whether the
young woman would object to this
they went to her home aud stated
what they had agreed upon. She
consented to marry the winner. At
the conclusion Of the game she said
that as the looser could not have her
hand he should have something as
near to it Is possible. Stripping the
rings from her fingers she gave them
to him. The marriage is to take place
next week and the looser is to be the
best man" The girl kept tally dur.
ing the progress of the game.

fishing a series CT articles headed
What is Poetry ?" aud although the
different writers have presented some
very strong arguments pro and con,
with choice samples, from the famous
line, The conscious water saw its
God and blushed," up to half column
quotations from favorite authors, the
question remains unanswered yet, each
side claiming victory. 1t will proba-
bly, be fully discussed at the poetical
seance proposed to be held at Terre
Haute in the near future, when the
Hoosier poet who sent the following
distich, or threnody, or refrain to the
