Sill another feature presents itself IN
case the Alliance throws the vote into
the House. There would then probably
be a Democratic President and a Republi-
can Vice-PresIdent. For the same article
of the Constitution which makes the
House elect the President, throws the
election of the Yiee-P President in the Sem
ate. But here is difference. In the first
place, the list of he eligible for the Vice
Presidency is confined to the two nam es
having received the highest numbers of
votes cast in the Electoral College, in
stead of three, as IN. the case with the
Presidency.
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1891-08-14
This, then, IS a summary:

On division By States on any question,
therefore, the Democrats would carry the
vote by 30 to Il, or a majority of Il.
1t is not ont of the range Of the posi-
HE that such a question may arise in the
next House, That question would be the
most important IN the history Of this
country. 1t would be the question of the
next President of the United States. 1t
seems almost certain that the Farmers
Alliance will place a candidate for the
Presidency in the field. Who that man
may be no one can guess. 1t certainly
can be Senator Stanford of California if
be wants it. With the present strength
OF the Alliance and Senator Stanford's
enormous abilities for an energetic cam
paign, it IS not impossible that the Al
lance may win electoral votes enough
not to elect Senator Stanford-but to
prevent either the Democratic or Repub-
Ican candidates from obtaining the ma
iority of the Electoral College, necessary
for election. In that case the Constr
tuition, by article II, provides that the
election shall be thrown into the House
of Representatives then sitting. That
would mean the Fifty-second Congress.
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1891-08-14

The Constitution provides that there
shall be present a quorum consisting of a
member or members from two-thirds of
the States, so that with their thirty
States the Democrats could legitimately
elect the President without the attend
ance of single Republican. The deep
interest which both the Democratic apd
Republican parties take in the Alliances
entrance into the field of national politics
can, therefore, be very readily under
stood.
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1891-08-14

The full Importance of the fact that
the Democrats control 30 delegations out
of the Al, is seen when it is remembered
that the Constitution provides that the
votes shall be taken by States, and each
State, no matter how great or how small
have one vote. So that If the Alliance
should elect so many electors that neither
the Republicans nor the Democrats could
cast majority vote of the entire college,
the next President would be Democrat
On this vote all the States would meet on
common level, and the 5000 whites,
blacks, half-breeds, moDgrels, Chinese
and Indians of the Nevada Mining
Camp would be as powerful in electng a
President as the intelligent residents of
the State of New York, and Mr.. Bsrtine
would be as big a man as Mr.. Flower. So
big is the Democratic majority, even on
the unit vote by States. that they coul
elect the President. even if not a single
Republican was present.

Says a literary man of some note. lit
took me a long time to appreciate the
beauties of S~hakespeare's sonnets. On
the first reading l found little in them
to attract, but on the advice of a friend
| kept on reading them. After a score
of readings l began to see new mean
ings, and soon l became fascinated. j
procured a small vest pocket edition
and carried it with me wherever l went,
reading the sonnets in the street cars or
wherever l happened to have a few
minutes leisure. They are really Won
derful.
'fSome of them l have read hundreds
of times, and have made them my own
so far as memory can appropriate the
thoughts of another. Now l can under
stand the enthusiasm of my friend, who
says that if he had to give up either
S~hakespeare's sonnets or Shakespeare
plays, it would be the plays that would
have to go. l can think of no literature
in SO small a compass that so well re-
pays reading and studying."-New York

Where "A Reporter Gets the Worst of 1t.
1 sometimes think that the newspaper
reporter has a little more to contend
with than almost any other man in bust
ness. Take the commercial drummer,
for instance. He goes into a town to sell
goods. If he finds his man nj of sorts
all he has to do is to move on to some
other town and try another, or he can
wait for his customer to get in the prop
er mood. III the deal between two specu-
lators is of any moment the man who is
engineering the deal can maneuver it
according to circumstances. He may
wait until he gets his man down to a
dinner where the wine is flowing freely.
But the newspaper reporter must tackle
his man wherever he can find him. The
man may have had some terrible mis-
fortune, trouble, or a death in his fam
lily, or he may have just had an ALFRED
poor dinner. But that is none of the re-
porter's business. He goes at the man
with questions. He must tackle him
where he finds him. If the man has had
a smooth day of it, all right and well.
But if he hasn't the reporter must get at
him in some way. In doing so he rum
the risk of making an enemy for life and
losing his reputation as an interviewer.
The commercial man has the time to
work his customer to the proper pitch.
The reporter must get his man instanter
no matter what obstacles are in the way.

A FEW REASONS

Why the WABASH is the most desirable
route for all points east.
First, you can purchase through tickets
for all Eastern points and any cupon
ticket Office in the West, over this line,
taking your choice of routes to the Mis-
souri, river.
Second, you can go either by the way
of Omaha or Kansas City at your pleas
ure.
Third, from either OF these points you
can have our choice of FIVE distinct
routes, as follows:
Via the HANNIBAL AIR LINE,
which is the short line to the East.
Wa ST. LOUIS, where close connec.
ton Is made with all Eastern and South.
eastern routes.
Via CHICAGO, the worlds fair city.
sometimes called the windy city"
Wa Toledo, Ohio's great inland city,
connecting at that place with the Lake
Shore fast trains for the East
Via. DETROIT, Michigan's pretties,
and most beautiful city, where Eastern
lines connect closely.
All of the above named points are
reached DICECT only by the WABASH
and direct BY NO OTHER LINE
running from the West.
Ask f%or,your tickets by the way Of THU
line and accept of them BY no other.

I've been flirting today with a baby
In the window right over the way.
And the neigkbors are gossiping may be-
But ] don't care n bit what they say.
He's a dear little curly dashed fellow,
With eyes that are laughing and sweet;
His hair was like grain. golden yellow.
He'd blue shoes-for he showed me his feet
He glanced at me. pleasantly smiling,
As though saying, II wish you'd remain"
Then he tapped on the window beguiling
And fiattened his nose 'gainst the pane.
He threw me a kiss for a greeting,
He showed me the lace on his dress;
But, ali! why are moments so f~ieeting7
The time came for luncheon, / guess.
Then | wRved him goodby-oh. the saddest,
And smiled to him over the way,
And he looked, OF all babies, the maddest,
When the nurse came and took him away.
But sometimes he will peek thro' the curtain
And hold the lace edges apart.
