say: "What . hazardous existence IL
his.' They may we'll say 50, but for
constant and varied peril, the life OF an
ambitious newspaper reporter probably
exceeds every other. No reference Is
intended here 10 the perils or health
which come of late and Irregular hours,
OF bad air and constant iacntai excite
nent. The perils Of the reporter arise
from the fact that IL Is his function to
report the parils Of every one else, and
IN order tn report them he must share
them. Therefore he encounters all the
dangers OF the detective and the police
man III their contact with the criminal
cases. He makes his way, by a
ruse into the hospital ward. the
insane asylum and the fell
on's cell. He is the prominent
figure ia every flood and contiagration.
He keeps pace With the pestilencc, and
sleeps III Tie lazaret. He shares the
soldiers march and biyousc, and stands
by his side in battle. He scours the
burning sands OF Africa and sails over
Arctic seas. He penetrates the bowels
Of the earth in underground tunnels
and death traps and scars above the
clouds in balloons. Many people face
danger IN one shape, from day 10 day;
the reporter faces 1t in every shape.
These are wholesome thoughts for peo-
pie who have suffered real or fanced
wrongs Mt reporters hands. Reporters
may be guilty Of occasional injustice,
but they are entitled to the public graft
tude as constant benefactors. They
arc tho eyes and ears Of humanity; and
if their labJrs should suddenly cease,
the sensation would be as If the world
were suddenly struck blind and deaf.
Nor are their adventures entirely free
from heroism. They are struggling
for professional success, it is true. but
no more so than the physician and the

capable of rising above sordid business
aims. and daring many things from q
sense of duty anu right, and even with
a lofty desire to benefit mankind.
Such. no doubt, We're the notions aud

ANSWERED. AGAIN.

The Kalamazoo Telegraph says with
reference to the TELEGRAM-HERALp ar
ticle upon the filing OF vacancy in this
congressional district, "if it is agreed
that the State would DO entitled to four
teen electoral votes BY virtue of the
federal law without the state act dividing
the state into districts, then 1t may be
asked how could the state, under the
union ELECTORAL law. elect fourteen
presidential electors. without the state
reapportioning into congressional dis
tricts."
The pertinen cy Of this enquiry is not
easily understood. Certainly no such
argument as this was made by the
TELEGRAM-HERaLD. 1t was said that
the vacancy to be filled was the term
for which Mr.. Ford was elected. The
election of presidential electors in 1892,
IS well a. the congressional election
then to be had are not to fill vacancies.
but to secure officers whose terms of
office will begin in March 1893. There
is no objection, constitutional or other
wise, to the election of officers whose
term of service shall commence at some
date in the future, and at the time that
their predecessors are serving out their
respective terms, elected, perhaps, un-
der another law, and in the care of
congressman representing different dis
tricts.
The state is to elect under the federal
constitution ga number Of electors
equal to the whole number of senators
and representatives to which the state
may be entitled in the congress-" This
means, the next congress. and the num-
Der of representatives to which the state
is entitled to III such congress, was fixed
by the last congress.
The TELEGRAPH fails to recognize that
Mr.. Ford was elected to another con-
gress, and that the vacancy caused by
his death was vacancy In such other
congress. The miner electoral bill and
the new congressional apportionment
bill, can be in force for the purpose of
electing men TO act in the future, with
out destroying the offices of the present
Incumbent.
