The Senate has promptly gone to work on
the Electoral Count bill, and it is to be hoped
that before the session is concluded both
houses will have agreed upon some Aeasure
that shall definitely provide for the settle
ment of disputes that may arise in the pro-
cess of counting the electoral vote. Senator
Edmunds's BILL which has once been passed
by the Senate, is fair and just measure, and
the best thing for the Senate to do is to pass
it again and send it to the House, and let the
House take the responsibility of killing it or
amending it if it sees fit. Under this bill, if
there is but one return from a State it is to
be counted unless the two houses concur in
rejecting it. If there are two returns, unless
both houses agree in rejecting one and ac-
cepting the other, neither is to be counted.
Senator Sherman proposes in case of dis
pute to decide it by the vote of the members
Of both houses in joint convention. Practi-
eally this would be putting all power over
the electoral count into the House. No plan
can be contrived which will not be open to
some objections. Senator Edmunds's plan
is not perfect, but it approaches much nearer
perfection than Senator Sherman's.

The hearing that has been ordered by the
Mayor and Aldermen on the question of
granting permission to the Horse Railroad
Company to keep their tracks clear from
snow, so that the cars may run on wheels, is
an important Que as concerns the general
public. OF course the question turns very
much on the quantity of snow in the streets
and the ability of the company to keep the
streets safe if the snow is removed. With a
large accumulation of snow it may be found
impracticable to do this, but as long as this
is possible it is in the interest of large pro-
portion of our citizens that the company
should be allowed to run their cars on
wheels The horse cars have become almost
a necessity for large class in the commune
ty, and the company has been making large
outlays to improve the service. The sleigh
service is imperfect, and unsatisfactory, and
great Inconvenience must result from the
change to many people. No doubt there are
serious Inconvenience in keeping the track
cleared, but the interests of the great mass
of the population are to be considered in de-
termining the question, and this means peo-
pie who do not own horses and cannot afford
private conyeyanceS. Those who can indulge
in these luxuries should be willing to yield
something to their less fortunate neighbors.
The horse cars are the peoples conveyance,
and every privilege should be granted them
consistent with the public safety. With the
present quantity of snow tits probably posi-
BILE to keep the tracks open without serious
inconvenience to private conyeyanceS, If the
snow on each side is leveled. At present,
however, this is not properly done and in
many places the streets are dangerous when
it is perfectly practicable to make them safe
without covering the tracks.

1t appears that the inquirqqs by the Senate a

Senators as well as by the Republicans. In
the language of Pooh-bah, as Senators they
think it right to learn the special reasons for
turning Republicans out of office, but as
Friends of the Administration they will,
doubtless, see that the Presidents preroga-

LYNCHING IN MISSOURI.
Z. P. Wallace Taken from Jail at Steelyille,
and Hanged by an Angry Mob.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 5-R. P. Wallace, the MUIR
derer of the Logan family of five persons-fath
er, mother and three children-was taken from
the Jail at Steelvie, last night, by mob, and
lynched. The guilty man had been taken to
Steelville from Cuba, Mo-, whore the horrible
crime had been perpetrated, for safe-keeping,
for fear that he would be summarily dealt with
by the enraged citizens of Cuba. On Friday
morning, Oct. /, mob gained entrance to the
Jail, seized Wallace, dragged him from his cell
and strung him up. He cut down after be-
ing allowed to hang for a short time in order
that confession might be forced from him. He
refused to admit the crime, and before the crowd
could hang him up again the sheriff gained pos
session Of him, and hurried him back to his cell.
The crowd was prevailed upon to dispense, and
it WAS supposed the law would be allowed to
take It's course. Last night, however, second
and more successful attempt was made TO mete
out justice to the murderer. masked mob
of about one hundred men quietly gathered
around the jail at midnight and demanded en-
trance of the jailer. This was refused, and tt o
mob battered down the doors and delegation of
their members was sent to bring out the prison
er, while others were detailed to guard the roads
leading to the scene. Wallace was wakened
from his sleep, dragged out to the Infatuated
MOB. and when asked if he had anything to say,
responded by strongly protesting his innocence,
still adhering TO the story that it was the negro
Vaughn who was guilty. This angered the mob
more than ever, and with shout they produced
q rope one end of which they placed around the
murderer's neck, the other end was thrown over
the limb of a tree standing near the Jail. The
prisoner still protested his innocence and ap-
pealed for mercy, but without avail. Strong
hands grasped the rope and Wallace's body
swung in the air Another chance was not
given him to confess and in few minutes his
body was a corpse. The mob then dispersed and
the Jail officers cut down and took possession Of
the body. There is no clew to The leaders of or
