st. Louis Globe-Democrat: SIN the
last six presidential elections New York
has been carried alternately by the can,
didates of the two parties-first by Lin
coin, next by Seymour. next by Grant,
next by Tilden, next by Garfield, and
next by Cleveland. This year, the rule
requires Republican victory in that
state: and what is still better the indica-
tons are decidedly favorable to such a
result without reliance upon any rule Of
that sort"

GveS?-Dem. Elk.
Are we to infer from this query that
the Democratic party intend to nominate
him, dead or alive: The idea is ridicu-
lous, to be sure, but not more 50 than
their hope Of electing him-and there is
no sort OF show for anybody else for the
nomination.

There are said to be 10000 tramps in
the United States-vagabonds who wan
der aimlessly through the country, sub
sisting upon what they can beg and steal,
capable of any crime-a great army of
vicious and dangerous nuisances that
ought to be driven from society, or cap
tured and disposed of in some way. How
TO dispose of them eifectually and at the
same time not violate the humane code
is one of the problems of the hour.

Gently introduced providing for the be-
ginning OF the first session of a congress
IN January following the election seems
10 be the most desirable one. inasmuch
as IL would do away with the long
interval. as at present. between the cleo
ton of representatives and organization
of the new house. During the long in
terval members are liable to forget
pledges made their constituencies upon
which their election may have depended.
This amendment also proposes to abolish
the mid-term election. If the election of
president should devolve upon the house
OF representatives it would fall upon a
house elected at the same date as the
presidential electors and would thus
more nearly perhaps represent the polit-
iCal motives of the voters. Another
feature Of the proposed amendment di-
videS the time OF the two sessions
equally, instead of as at present, long
and a short term.

Some of the Kansas City papers while
claiming that Sam Jones and Sam Small
have converted more people in Missouri
than the evangelists who are working in

in Missouri in proportion to the whole
population than in Kansas. Kansas has

must be made up, nevertheless.

The Globe Democrat is having heaps
of trouble IN locating the birth place of
its candidate for president, General Sher-
idan. The general sticks TO it that he
was born in Albany, n. Y, and gives the
date. His mother is quite as positive
that the notable event transpired at
Somerset, Ohio, which it would seem
ought to settle it. But now comes the
army records which testify in black and
white that the historic spot is located III
Massachusetts,. But, as we .have before
remarked, it is a small matter at what
particular point he first saw the light:
the fact that he is an American citizen
of the truest type is established, which is
sufficient on the point of nativity. If

of the Shenandoah Valley its nominee it
