The Federal Constitution denies the
right of Congress TO interfere in the cleo
ton of presidential electors and confers
upon Congress the power to make regula-
tons concerning the election of members
of the national House Of Representatives.
The New York Borid, in the face Of these
facts, says:
when a State legislature has directed
that presidential electors shall be chosen
bv the people at the general election has
Congress the constitutional right to ap-
point Federal electiOD-ofiicers 10 supervise,
in connection with the State officers the
registration, the voting and the count IN
such election? To cOncede the constltu-
tionaltv of the present United States sta
tute providing for Federal supervisors OF
election when members of Congress are TO
be chosen is TO admit that right"
The truth is that each state legislature
may elect the presidential electors for is
own State if it chooses so to do. Up 10
the wear 1869 the South Carolina Legisla-
ture chose her presidential electors. Con-
gress has. aud can have, nothing to DO
with the elections held for choosing cleo
tors Of President and Vice-President. Con-
gross has no constitutional right 10 ap-
point Federal election officers to super
wise. IN connection with State officers,
either the registration, or the voting, or
the count in such election.

France.

Europe breathes more freely since the
French elections of Sunday. and as a rule
the foreign papers appear 10 take an opti-
mistic view of the situation and the future
of the republic. Certainly this Wow is JUS
tilted 50 far. The apprehensions of the
enemies as well as Of the friends of France
were not realized either in the result Of the
balloting or the scenes incident to the
election. The Government developed
strong popular backing. The conservatism
Of the people was marked, and the self
control exhibited was new and gratifying
feature in French politics. Az this writing
the indications are that Boulangism and
Its concomitant political irrationalities and
dangers to tho country have received a
staggering blow, aud whether or not con-
stitutonal revision shall follow, there
seems 10 be no question that love of the
republic is deeply implanted in the hearts
OF the majority Of the French people.
However. as the French themselves say, it
is always the unexpected that happens in
France. aud while Sundays work is calcu-
lated TO inspire hope that the republic is
destined 10 long life. anxiety will not be
allsyed until the reballoting Of next Sun
day is over. Despite the fact that it is adj
mitted the supplemental elections cannot
alter the general result, the world is apt 10
distrust tho possibility Of repetition 10

derly scenes Of last Sunday. The questions

Tho NeCrO Problem.

Governor LEE was interviewed in Lynch
burg on Monday by reporter for the Bal
timorc Sun. and said:
Il am sorry to see the two races drifting
apart IN Virginia, but that IS the unlnls-
taxable tendency. They are getting farther
apart every year, and there seems 70 be no
hone of ever recstablishng cordial and
kindly relations between them. rms ~
chiefly the fault of the cOl0rcd people, ana
they will be the chief sufferers by It. by
their persistent political hostility to the
better elements of the white population
they are diving of the only people VINO
can help them the white taxpayers OF the
State. The latter are already growing
FESTIVE under the great burden OF
negro education and criminal expenses
which amounts 70 an enormous sum an
nuallv. and for which the white people
have no return and see no good results
The annual outlay for negro education
under the public-schOOl system amounts 70
$40. 600. 90 per cent. of which IS paid by
white taxpayers. In addition there are
the HAMPTON Normal School and Peters
burg Institute, both Of which receive large
yearly appropriations. Now, when you
add TO this the cost of the cOlored insane
asylum at Petersburg, $4,000 year, anu
the criminal expenses OF over SZzO ,OOQ'
W per cent. Of which are for colored criml-
mails. Won can readily see that IT runs

All the indications are that the next Con
gress will pass a law providing for the con-
troll of congressional elections by the Gene
raj government Roanoke Times.
We should say that the majority of Re
publicans in Congress will Try TO pass such
a law. We do not believe 1t can be done.
We believe there are some Republicans IN
Congress who do not desire 10 have the
States run 10y deputy United STATS mar
shals or 10y the General Government.-A0T-
folk landmark
Not one Republican congressman who
has been interviewed on the subject has
expressed himself as opposed to such law.
Every northern Republican State conven-
ton has. we think, declared in favor Of
such a law. Every Republican candidate
for the Office OF Speaker is understood to
be friendly to the same. Will the small
fry stand out against the leaders! Not
they. The Republicans are unit on this
question. Nothing can prevent the pas
sage of national electlon-law II the Dem
ocrats Of the House of Representatives, al
low the Republicans to change the rules Of
that body as they purpose TO change them
These changes would enable the Republi-
cans to unseat q dozen or more Demo-
crats-all whose elections are contested
and thus raise the Republican majority to
fifteen or twenty The unseating Of eight
Democrats would make the Republican
majority nineteen and insure the passage
of a national election-law.

On the 10Th instant Governor GORDON

On the 18th instant Governor GORDON
signed the following and made it law:
"Re Il enacted by tie General assembly OChe
STATE Of Georgia, That from and after the
passage Of this act it shall not be lawful for
any person or persons, either by himself or
themselves. to sell. furnish, give, or pro-
vide any minor or minors with cigarettes,
tobacco, or cigarette-paper, or any substi-
tute therefor"
The Atlanta Constitution says that it was
the intention Of the author of the bill to
prohibit only the sale of cigarettes or their
substitutes. The wording of the bill, how
ever, Is such that tobacco in every shape is
now a forbidden luxury to any one under
twenty-one years Of age.

During his wonderful sledge journey
from Hudson bay to the Arctic ocean
Frederick Schwatka had abundant op
p%ortunity to learn the habits and the
disposition of the Eskimo dog. ii,
started out with sixty of them, using
them to draw the sledges, and only
nineteen were alive when he returned
to Hudson bay. The others had died
mostly Of starvation. He says:
"They were through all this horrible
time perfect respecters of their human
allies, and the little children used to &C
among them and play with them by
pelting them over the back with their
toy whips; and yet the same dogs were
starving, and should one of them die his
comrades would eat him. l notice this
particularly, as some sensational writers
have tried to make their readers believe
that the Eskimo dogs are liable t be
come dangerous fellows. even to q

hungry, and to be worse han wild

their sufferings as they so devotedly
helped us along. many of them up till
the very minute they had to be taken
from the harness and abandoned on the
road. AS they dropped out along the
way, we harnessed ourselves in their
places to the sledge traces, and it was
thus we were not compelled to leave

First Issue Of Uncle Tom.. Cabin.

The browning glory OF The National
Era was that most famous of novels,
Uncle Toms Cabin" by Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stowe, which began in the issue
of June /, 1851, and ended April l, 1852.
Before it was half finished 1t had created
such a sensation that the Jewels, of Bos-
ton, had it stereotyped, and Immediately
after it was completed in the paper it
was published in book form. In its IA
lier stages Of publication in the news
paper it seemed to fall fat. The circula-
tion of The National Era was 13, 900 when
Uncle Tom" was begun. On the LIST Of
August, 1852, shortly after the great ro-
mance was completed, the circulation
had gone up to 10, 1000. On Dec. 80, 1859,
it reached %, 000.-Washington Gazette.

Every few know how to take care OF
a piano." said a musical man to a re-
porter who visited his warerooms.
"How do you do it here?" asked the
scribe.
ut is a popular notion that pianos
ought to be kept very dry. Nothing
could be more fallacious. Pianos are
not nearly 80 much affected by heat or
cold as they are by dryness, and, re-
versely, by dampness. 1t is not general.
ly known that the sounding board, the
life of a piano, is forced into the case
when it is made so tightly that it bulges
up in the center, on the same principle
as a violin. The wood is supposed to be
as dry as possible, but, of course, 1t con.
tains some moisture, and gathers more
on damp days and in handling. Now,
when a piano is put into an overheated,
dry DON all this moisture is dried out,
and the board loses its shape and gets
habby and cracks. Even II it doesn't
crack the tone loses its and
grows thin and tinny, the felt cloth and
leather used in the action dry vi, and
the whole machine rattles."
"How do you prevent this?"
Keep a growing plant in your room
and so long as your plant thrives youi
piano ought to, or else there is some
thing wrong with it. 1t should be noted
how much more water will nave to b,
poured into the flower pot in the room
where the piano is than in any othel
room. In Germany it is the practice t.
keep a large vase or urn with a soppinl
wet sponge in it near or under the piano
and keep it moistened. This is kept VI
all the time the fires are on."-New Yorl
Mail and Express.

Now just stand beside me q minute
and notice how much innate hoggish-
ness there Is In human nature" said a
conductor at the Boston and Maine sta
ton last night to a Globe reporter. sThe
5:45 train is just backing in. Watch
The long row of empty cars slowly
rolled into the station. The large plat
form and the little platform between the
tracks were covered with men and
women waiting to get seats a Don as
the cars stopped. But as the speei Of
the cars ~slackened somewhat a move
ment began all along the crowd. Men
jostled against each other in frantic at
tempts to board the moving cars, clutch
ed at the rails and stumbled all over the
steps, trying to Chamber aboard; and
when the cars came to a full stop nearly
every one OF them was almost filled with
men comfortably reading their papers.
As for the women. Well, one or two
brave but careless souls may have tried
to step upon a car before it stopped, but
for the rest there was nothing left to do
but wait while the men, unencumbered
with skirts and petticoats, jumped in
and got good seats.
mot only do the men steal all the
seats" remarked the conductor, "but
they never think of offering a woman a
seat. Street-car etiquette sort of half
compels a man not to allow a lady to
stand, but in a steam car she gets a seat
only when she is able to fight for it.
Some one will get KILLED jumping on
those cars some day, and then perhaps
you will see a change in things. Women
have no divine rights to seats 1 suppose,
but they ought to be allowed a fair start
in the race."-Boston Globe.
