AT PHILADELPHIA.

Secretary Fairchild Pays a Glow
ing Tribute to President Cleve-
land.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. f.-The ami
yersary of the battle of New Orleans
was celebrated here tonight by a dinner
under the auspices Of the Young Mems
Democratic association. The guest of
the evening was Secretary of the Treas
ury Fairchild. A letter of regret from
President Cleveland was read in which
he said: Il am sure that if
while the military success of
Gen. jackson is cOmmemorated, the
character and conduct of President
Jackson is also reviewed, the value of
stern honesty and devotion to the peo-
ple'S interests will be newly taught"
In the course of his remarks Secretary
Fairchild said: Because of the choice
made at the election of 1884, it is now
my privilege, as Democrat, to speak
to this Democratic association On behalf
ct Democratic federal administration.
/ need name but one name, that of your
chief executive, to call before your
minds the image of man who more
nearly satisfied the conscience, the jndg-
ment and the heart of the people than
does any other prominent citizen of ur
country. Under him the independence
and dignity of the executive, so needful
to good government, have once more
been as firmly established as they were
in
THE DAYS OF JACKSON.
New conditions have brought new
questions and new issues to the front,
and it is duty to meet them with manly
frankness and patient courage. Grover
Cleveland has set high example of this
in his annual messages of 1886 and 1887,
and it row remains for the men of to-
day, the young men, the business men,
to give to the great question of govern
ment, of finance and of taxa
ton, earnest thought and powerful
action, which will lead the country
along the safe road that the time hon
ored. conservative, freedom-giving
principles of Democracy have made so
broad and straight, which will bring it
into power and glory beyond our fond
est hopes. Cautious friends say: Why
precipitate new discussions now? All
is so we'll why not wait until after the
next election, or until more cOnven-
lent season? My friends, this
is not the way of true Democracy,
which is always bold, always truthful
of the intelligence and patriotism of the
people. This is not the way of Grover
Cleveland. The Democratic way is the
best. If we have convictions let US be-
true to them at all times. A party is
never great, never in the end success

Phenomena Of Soap.Bubbles.

At recent meeting of the Physical
Society, Mr.. C. V. Boys described and
performed some experiments on soap
bubbles. and by their aid demonstrated
in remarkable manner the phenomena
of surface tension. diffusion and the
magnetic properties of gases. By
blowing one bubble inside another, he
showed that there is no electrical force
inside a closed conductor. A peculiar
property of soap-bubbles is their re-
fusal to come into contact when
knocked against each other; they may
receive violent shocks and still remain
separate. If. however, an electrical
body be brought in the vicinity, they
Immediately coalesce. So sensitive
are they to electrical attraction, that a
potential difference due to one Le-
blanche cell between the two bubbles
causes them to unite. They may thus
serve as very delicate electroscope.-

St. Louis Teaches.
The surroundings of q child, as
every person with common sense
knows, have SO much to do with his
success in school that when at home.
the neighborhood and the air are bad.
It is only further aggravation of ma
ture to compel him to study. This is
especially true among sensitive and in
tellectual children. If the school house
is rickety, unpalnted. uninviting at
fair, the pupil is inclined the same
way. If tie teacher is shambling and
the pupils ragged and unwashed. down
goes the estimation of the whole con-
Germ again in the eyes of the incoming
little stranger. What in the name of
civilization can a school teacher ex-
pect to make out of q ten-year-old
whose eyes have opened in the bright
sunlight which falls only upon the
loafers of back street in great city?
The little fellow, in his walk to the
school-house, passes troops of dirty
children who don't have to 60 to
school at all, but play in the cutters
among the vile cur dogs that infest
such neighborhoods. He sees bundles
of rags sticking in the broken windows,
hears brawling words among the bar
room sots, gets whiffs of the vapors that
rise from the sewers on every corner.
Compare him with a country child
stepping out of nice quiet home to
walk to school along a road where
flowers stud the pathway and birds
sing their spring songs in the trees
that overhang. The lad is natures
handiwork as much as the birds and
flowers and trees. But the little fellow
from the hovel district of the big city
is practically deprived of boyish rights
and privileges. Even the lamp posts
in his neighborhood are turned half
way around, so that they give the
names of the streets wrong. l can not
make geography delightful to a boy
whose knowledge of pleasant places is
based on what he knows of the tough
part of Christy avenue, Morgan and
Sixth streets. I will fail to interest
him in the accuracy of figures when
the houses near him are numbered ir-
regularly, or not at all. The beauties
of correct speech can have no meaning
to him when his young life has been
blighted by mother tongue of vile
slang. Figs do not grow on thistles
in the school room. Fresh air and the
open country alone would restore some
of our depraved children to a normal
condition of childhood. - st. Louis

How 1t Is Done According tn the Pro.
visions of tho Constitution.
There are very few men in the
United States who ever voted for Presi.
dent and Vice-President At the N O.
vember election of 1884. there were in
the neighborhood of ten million men
who cast ballots. and the majority Of
them, it is safe to say. believed they
were voting directly for Blaine OF
Cleveland; but they were not There
were but 4)1 men in the entire country
who voted for President and of these

land; and as the latter had maj orr ty
of37 votes. he was chosen.
This results from the fact that the
Federal Cons titution does not allow
the President to be chosen by the peO-
pie. but by the States. Each State has
as many Presidential votes as it has
Representatives in Congress and Sena-
tors. OHIO has 81 Representatives and
2 Senator'S (cach State has the same
number Of Sena.ors). and hence she
can cast % votes for President
The voters of each State vote for
Presidential Electcrs-that is. for men
who will cast the number of votes for
President to which that State is en-
titled under the Constitution. The
term Electoral College" is often used

Electors chosen from all the States,
but it is not used in the Constitution.
nor in any U iited States statute. Ii
is simply convenient term for des-
ignating the Electors en- n,asse.
Each State votes for all the Z lect ors
to which it is entitled on one general
ticket. and not by districts. The Re-
publican convention in each Congress
sional district in the State of Obi 0. for
instance. nominated an Elector for
that district; the State convention
nominated the two Electors at
large" corresponding to the
.wo United States Senators. as the dig
irict Electors correspond to the Repre-
sentatives in Congress. The Demo-
Gratis nomin ated similar ticket, in
the same way. Next November tho
voters of the State will vote for these
Electors. and the ticket which receives
the majority will be elected. and the
Electors thereon will cast their votes
for the nominee of their own party.
Hence it is plain that President
need not necessarily receive a ma.
jority of all the votes in the Nation.
He must receive a majority of the
electoral votes of the States only.
The vote by States. popular and
electoral. in 1884. for Blaine and

early sweets. Be sure and spare all
the Eastwood on your farm, and plant
few more in old pastures for shade.
Plant catnip-the more the better

A NICE QUESTION.

1t seems TO me that the idea OF

in our churches is an excellent one. In
some of the Western States It was
done that way years ago. and some
churches out there keep up the prac-
tice. There is nothing out Of the way
about ii. If ladies preside at organs
and sing in our choirs. why not have
them pass the plate also? There is
no harm. rs far IS can see," said a
regular lady attendant os our churches
to me Sunday evening. ''And there
are good reasons why the ladies would
make first-class collectors. Men would
be more apt to drop iE the plate ter
cents or quarter instead oil

auce sake. and as an extra
