Bi-weekly Payments.

To THE EDIToR-Sir: 1 do not know
whether Mr.. j. I'll. C. Smiths letter is intended
as a reply to me. or is an apology for the cor
porations that, for the time being, duped labor
ing men with a law for seeming relief, for seem
ing relief is all there is of it. Mr. Smith comes
TO the front with quotation from the apparent
penal section, and claims that it affords ample
relief, and closes with: probably Mr.. Groll
has overlooked this section"
| beg pardon, Mr. Smith; have overlooked
nothing of the kind. 1t is altogether likely
that you are not a wage-worker, and may be
the party that does the overlooking part of the
business Now, if Mr.. Smith wants TO learn how
that law for bi-weekly payments which he
calls ample, really does work. let him start out
10 find work and give notice that he will have
his pay at the end of two weeks, and see how
soon he will get the grand bounce" There
is. in my opinion, no remedy in any law short
of making it crime on the part of the en-
ployers to fail TO comply without any demands
upon them. A. GRoLL.

ELECTION FRAUDS.
Heroic Measures Required to Suppress the
Evil of Bribery.

Heroic Measures Required to Suppress the
EVIL of Bribery.
To THE EDIToR-ST: The public mind at
the present time is intensely interested in the
subject of election frauds and the remedy
therefor. If you will allow an outsider to ex-
press opinion, l would be pleased to present
few thoughts on these subjects.
l Every honest man condemns the practice
of buying votes for a money consideration
either singly or in "blOcks OF five;" but if a
vote is controlled by personal consideration
other than cash payment, II is OF the nature
of purchase. The greatest good or the country
is the only motive that controls the vote of
patriot. fail to see the difference, morally,
between voting a certain ticket under the
promise of ten-dolar greenback and voting it
under promise of postoffice or any other
political favor. 1t is this system of Office COM
pensatiOn for political work that has debauched
the public conscience and rendered vote-buying
possible; and until the fountain can be purified
the streams will be corrupt. We may palliate
the evil by more stringent election laws, but
cannot eradicate il by such measures.
.. / have seen no remedy proposed for what
is at present the chief defect in our political
jurisprudence-tha is the impossibility of con-
victing political criminal il he is a man of
prominence i'll his party. Having expelled
every moral element from our political code, as
well as from our political platforms and taught
the partisan that success is the chief end of
every political canvass, we need not be sur
prised if he carries this code of ethics and his
prosttuted conscience into the jury room, and
should there refuse to convict prominent
politician of his party-whatever the evidence
may be.
8. Looking toward the remedy of this sad
condition, have no doubt that a secret ballot
will do much TO render the traffic in votes more
difficult; but trained politicians are very cum
ming. and will be apt to devise some way to
manage the 'hoaters," if not in "blOcks OF
FIVE" yet in some other way; while his honest,
conscientious brother in politics will shut his
eyes on the crime and poultce his conscience
with the pernicious maxim, that in politics "all
is fair that wins" The English method would
prove as effectual here as it has in the mother
country though the treatment is heroic. If a
bribed vote is cast or a legal vote is counted
out when proof is made, the vote of the whole
precint is rejected This makes every voter q
watcher, as he values his own vote, and poll
clans will seldom risk the loss of whole pre-
cnct. But even this must not condone the
crimes of vote-buying and selling If we can
devise anyway to convict the criminal.

Account of Clouds ard Haze.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. 1.-Prof. Louis
Smith, director of the Warner observatory
of Rochester, y. Y, was stationed at Nelson,
Cal, and telegraphed the following as the re-
suit of his observation of the eclipse: "As
far as affording opportunity to search for in
tramercuial planets, it was failure from
clouds and haze. All four contacts were well
made. a chronometer watch previously set
to Lick observatory time being used. Five
very small colorless protuberances we're seen,
all having pointed apexes. Near the point of
one was another detached from the sun.
Bailey's beads were seen at the second aud
third contacts, but entirely unlike those seen
at Denver in 1873 No chronosphere was Wis
ible, though looked for. Mercury, Venus,
Vega and Alpho Cygni were seen. The corna
could not be drawn, but seen through the
telescopes was not very extensive"
The conditions were generally favorable to-
day both in California and Nevada for q clear
observation of the total eclipse OF the sun. In
the city the eclipse was only partial, but
eleven-twelfths of the suns surface being OBJ
scured. The weather was perfectly clear and
the eclipse was witnessed by great number of
persons During the period of the greatest
obscurity it became quite dark and one star was
plainly seen. No scientific observations were
made in this city Half of the totalitv in Cali
fornia was from 90 to 100 miles north of San
Francisco and trains from this city this morn
ing conveyed large number of people to
various points favorable for the observation.
The weather at Marysville was very clear.
The first contact was about 1880, During the
progress of the eclipse the weather became
quite cool Several streaks of lightning were
observed during the totality. Several exposures
of wet and dry plates were made during the to-
tality, and views will be sent TO Ampher's col
lege.
Prof. T. S. Holden of Lick observatory tele-
graphs that the beginning of the eclipse was
successfully observed at that point and also the
last contact. Photographs were taken at Oro-
vile; the clouds obscured the view of the total
ity, but good view was had up TO within a
few minutes of that period. The conditions
were all favorable at ST. Helena. The nearest
approach 10 totality was at 80, when obsery-
ers noticed plainly with the naked eye a narrow
circle of light IN the northeasterly side of the

The appearance of the corona may furnish
reasons for important notifications or even

its character. The detection of one or more

increase the study of solar chemistry, while the
observations OF contact may perhaps conduce
TO a solution of the vexed problem whether or
not the moons mean rate of motion was altered
by passing through the November meteors
early in the present century.
The solar eclipse was the forty-fourth that
has occurred since the great one OF 1869, the
middle belt of which ran through southern
Iowa and central Illinois.
As accessible solar eclipses come around once

vorable conditions the time of totality is linn

that the total time allowed for observing the
phenomena is but one hour say in forty years.

Der OF letters from those who voted for Gen.

voted for Jackson in this county in S32, and we
counted about four other residents of the county
who did. Now, if we could have one or two from
each county in the state, it would make an in

in the sons of jackson veterans to enlarge the

the meeting could be called for the old heros

The party at LadysrOod had, of course,
been broken up Immediately, and there
was no question for the moment OF the ar
rival Of the Duchess Soria. OF the personal
impatience which he felt at this disap-
pOintment to himself, Guilderoy gave no
sign TO his wife. He was sincerely sorry
for her, and be forebore from any kind of
word or hint which could have added to
her sorrow. He was, for the first time in
his life, wholly unselfsh. But the con-
sciousness that he was doing his duty. did
not prevent the tedium of those solitary
DAYS of mourning from weighing heavily
on his spirits, and taxing his patience
cruelty. He was wholly unused to either
the sensation or the spectacle of pain.
In the overwhelming shock and grief
to her of her fathers death, all other
memories and feelings had been for the
time forgotten or thrust aside. Guilderoy
had shown to her in her suffering gem
uine tenderness and sympathy, which had
been wholly unaffected, as he himself Bit
terly regretted the loss OF one whom he had
regarded with affection, and whose loss
was irreparable he knew to her, perhaps
TO them both. The cottage at Christslea
had been the one temple of peace in
which neither of them would ever have
been ashamed to confess error and seek
reconciliation. But John Vernon was
dead, and all that remained TO them of
him we're his books and papers-his writ
ten and printed thoughts-and the letter
which had been found in his dead hand.
He was moved to greater regret when
he read and arranged the innumerable
papers which Vernon had left behind
him, and felt conscious at every line, of
how much nobility OF mind and rich ma

Cole was elected speaker Of the assembly.
The Inauguration of Gov. Hill was conducted
with much circumstance and display. While
reading his annual message the governor cre-
ated some sensation when he employed these
words:
The necessity Of some change in our election laws
whereby the increasing corruption has become in
cident to our elections may be prevented is lmpers-
tive. Il Is believed that the recent presidential
election was the corrupt OF any in the history
Of the country far the direct OF money was
concerned in influencing the electors, and public
sentiment is naturally awakened 20 the desirability
OF some relief. The peculiar causes which induced
this immense corruption are apparent The anxiety
to subscrve selfish and private advantage rather than
the general interests Of the public naturally led 10
the campaign being conducted upon alleged .'husi-
ness principles whereby, il is asserted that electors
were bought and sold like goods and chattes in The
open market. II is claimed that at least 100000
were expended IN the Twentieth and Twenty-l0urth a
congressional districts in this state in the efforts
made therein TO elect congressman and 10 be iavor-
able 10 the policy OF fostering private interests.
Gov. Hill recommended that by joint resolu.
ton the legislature urge congress 10 adopt con.
stitutional amendments regarding the pres.
dental term and provision for eX-preSidents.
The recommendations are:
l. That the term of Office Of president and
vice-president shall be six years.
2. That the president shall be ineligible Tor
reelection.
upon the expiration of his term, become
member of the I. 5. senate for life, and receive
an appropriate salary This amendment shall
apply to all living ex-presidents.
