A Second Vice President.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-The bill
reported from the House committee
on the electoral count proposing
constitutional amendment creating
and defining the Office of Second Vice
President provides that, in case of
the removal from Office, death, resig-
nation or constitutional disability
both of the President and Vice Pres
ident, the office of President shall de-
volye on the Second Vice President
of the United States, who shall be
voted for in distinct ballots at the
same time and in like manner and
for the same term as the President
and Vice President by the electors
appointed by the several States. In
case of the removal of the Vice Pres
ident from Office, or his death, resig.
nation, or constitutional inability, or
when the Vice President shall eXer-
else the Office of President of the Uni
| ted States, the Second Vice President
shall be the President of the Senate,
and he shall also act as such in abb
sence Of the Vice President from the
Senate, but shall have no vote unless
the Senate be equally divided.
The report accompanying the reso-
luton says; The necessity for an adj
ditional officer in the line of Presi-
dental succession has been forced on
the consideration of thoughtful stu
dents of our political system by the
casualties which have occurred since
the adoption of the federal constitu-
ton. Out of eighteen different per-
sons elected directly to the president
tial Office four have died before filling
out their respective terms as Presi-
dent, three of them during the first
year of the term and the other during
the second year. Out of % persons
elected as Vice President five died
during their terms of office, one of
them resigned his Office, and four be-
came President. AT the close of the
present presidential term there will
have been 100 years of government
under the constitution, and during
that period there will have been %
years months and days-over one
fourth of the time-when the cOun-
try has had no Vice President; in the
last forty years the office of Vice
President has been vacant Is years
months and days, or nearly one
half of the time.

Blaine the Coming Man.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-Ex-Po
master Payne, of Milwaukee, Wis,
has been in Washington several
weeks. lie is one of the most prom
inent of the Republican politicians in
his State. He is one of the most ac-
tive and trusted Of the Lientenants
of Boss Keyes. The latter. it will be
remembered, has recently been elect
ed Mayor of the Democratic town of
Madison, the home of Willie Villas.
Mr.. Payne is young man with a
fresh color of one who lives in a good
climate, He has dark eyes, regular
features and the quick actIye manner
of a New York business man. He
was very energetic opponent of Mr..
Blaine's at Chicago in 1884. / asked
him yesterday what he thought
about the next Republican campaign.
He said that his party associates
were already beginning to talk about
it. Mr.. Payne was asked who he
thought would be nominated by the
Republican party this time. He
said, II think Mr.. Blaine will be
nominated, or at least he can control
the nomination, | opposed Mr..
Blaine a Chicago, as you will re.
member, because L did not believe
he could be elected. l advocated Mr..
Arthur's nomination at Chicago be-
cause believed he was the only man
We could successfully use to beat
Blaine. My idea would have been
in the end to have gone to a third
man, Have you changed your
mind about Mr.. Blaine ?" 81 cannot
say that l have. / have always
liked him. | opposed him then be.
cause thought he could not be elect
ed. Now / think he will be nomi-
mated in 1888 and that he can be elect
ed. You see everything has been
said against him that can be said.
There is nothing more to bring up.
If Cleveland is renominated by the
Dem0crats-and that is not improba-
ble-I think the race will be made
over again between Blaine and Cleye-
land, and in such an event l believe
that Blaine can beat him." Con.
gresham Rice, of Massachusetts,, al
so believes that Mr.. Blaine will be
nominated by the Republicans in
nation. He says, however, that if he
is nominated he will find even a more
bitter resistance in Massachusetts than
he did before. 1t will be harder to
carry Massachusetts in 1883 than in
1884, but he beiieyes it will be easier
to carry New York.

CLEVELAND, May 25,-The Gener-

Francis Willard, Caroline B. Buell.,
L. M. Stevens and Esther Pugh,
which contained the following:
'We earnestly urge upon you the
importance of retaining the rule by
which all persons engaged in that ne
farious liquor trade which renders no
equivalent for value received, are de-
clared ineligible to membership in a
society of honest and hard working
men and women, whose labor is the
great magician of the world and
makes the wilderness blossom as a
rose. We are glad that your society
proposes to defend the rights of
women by demanding equal wages
for equal work, and we assure you of
our hearty sympathy in the heroic
efforts of all sober minded toilers to
improve their own condition and
that of their families through such re-
forms as ale rendered peaceably pos

The Progress of Ensilage.

Within the last few years ensilage
has passed the experimental stage,
and has been adopted by so many
farmers that it may be considered as
an established method among many
who devote themselves to dairying.
The number of silos in the United
States in 1880 is said to have been
only six, while it is estimated that
there are now about two thousand
In England there were in 1880 only
four silos, while now Mr.. NJ. j. SUIT
ton. in his recent admirable work on
permanent and Temporary Pas
tures," estimates that there are be.
tween eleven and twelve hundred.
In England, the silo will come into
competition with ordinary hay-mak-
ing, allowing the farmer to secure his
crops of grass and clover in very wet
seasons more promptly and safely
than he could as hay. In this coun-
try, on the other hand, ensilage will
be mainly directed to the prpsrrva-
ton Of fodder corn, a crop of admit
ted value, but one which is on all
hands regarded as very difficult to
cure. In the Southern States, the
silo will allow the farmer to preserve
one of his most important crops, the
Southern Cow pea. This, which is
regarded as most valuable as hay. is
difficult to cure, as the large leaves
are shaken off in the process, but
packed In the sllo, they yield most
valuable cattle food, probably equal
in value to ensilage clover.-Ameri-

Railway Mileage.

The current number Of the Rail-
aCGy Age commenting on the railway
mileage of the United States, says:
The railway construction during
1885 amounted to 3,l95I miles of
main line, making the aggregate
mileage in the United States at the
com mencement oflSS5, IDS, 1863 miles.
If we add TO this the track already
laid since that date, the total railway
mileage of the United States on the
first of May appears to have been 49,
255 miles.
Looking at the record of states sep
arately, we find that on January 1,
Illinois still leads the country in ex.
tent of railway lines. having then no
less than 1905 miles of main lines,
within her borders. Next comes
Pennsylvania with 7,72l4 miles. OF
l,2S4 miles less than Illinois Iowa
follows with 1868 miles; New York
is fourth, with 1872 miles; Ohio fifth,
with 1915 miles; Texas sixth, with
6,425 miles Indiana seventh, with
$3.50 miles; Michigan eighth, with
1854 miles; Missouri ninth, with
1873 miles; Kansas tenth, with A. 400
miles ; Minnesota twelfth, with 4,33G
miles. Little Rhode Island natural.
" stands at the foot of the list with
2l1 miles, the District of Columbia, oI
course, not ranking either as state
or territory.
The rapid forward strides which
several of the western and few Of
the southern states are making in
railway mileage, and consequently,
in population and wealth, are very
impressive. Thus Florida built more
railway track last year than any
other state. adding 289 miles; Kansas
came next with 2S5 miles, Missouri
next, with 268 miles Texas with 237
miles; Nebraska with pa miles, and
SO on. In all New England only 49,
miles of track were added during the
year, and in the great mindle states,
including New York and Pennsylya.
MIA lin which latter rs miles were
laid, the aggregate of new lines was
only 500 miles, while in the seven
teen western states ,SI3 miles oftrack
were added.

Golden Maxims for Wives.

Always remember that you are
married to man and not god be
prepared for mperfections.
Once in while let your husband
have the last word it will crafty
him and be no particular loss to you.
Do be reaso nable; it is a great deal
to ask under some circumstances ;
reasonable women are rare be rare.
Anticipate the discovery by your
husband that you are "only a wo-
man" if you were not he would not
care about you.
Remember that servants are made
ofthe same material that you are a
little coarser grained, perhaps, but
the same essentials.
Let your husband read the news
paper at breakfast table it is unso-
ciable, but then it is only trifle after
all, and he likes il.
Read something in the papers be-
sides fashion notes and society col
umns; have some knowledge of what
is going on in foreign countries.
Try and forget yourself, AS to
your husband. forget that you mar
ried him, and remember that he mar
ried you. He will then probably do
the reverse.
Be companion to your husband,
if he is wise man and if he is not
try and make him become your CON-
EaniOn. Raise his standard do not
let him lower yours.
Let Your husband know more than
you do once in while; il keeps up
his self-respect, and you will be none
the worse for admitting that you are
not actually infallible.
Respect Y ur husbands prejudices;
respect his relations, especially his
mother-she is not the less his moth
er because she is your mother-in-law;
she loved him before you did.
