Senator Edmunds,

Louisville Courier Journal: Another of
the great leaders of the republican party
leaves it's councils in the very hour of its
extremity.
Mr.. Edmunds is an unwavering partisan,
but a most accomplished man. He is, poll
tically, somewhat narrow in his sympathies,
but personally attractive to his associates.
He is unvielding in his views, but his learn
ing as a lawyer commands for him the
respect of his opponents. Not a popular
man, he has proven himself a most influen-
tial and useful senator. He seems to be
about the last of a body of really great men
who gave vitality to the principles of a
party which was not in full sympathy with
the aspirations of the American people, and.
who, lacking this sympathy, were yet able
to stamp indellibly their names on Ameri-
can history.
The loss of the services of Mr.. Edmunds
to the republican party We do not regret;
but his absence from the senate will cause
regret to every American citizen familiar
with the career OF the senator from Yer.
mont. He has more perhaps than any liv-
ing leader of the republican party a moral
influence, a clearness of mind, and a power
Of expression, which the senate can ill af.
ford to lose at any time, but the loss OF
which at this time is a public misfortune,
But, as Mr.. Edmunds runs over in his
mind the list of his old associates, and then
turns to those who are to-day shaping the
republican policy, it is natural that he
should prefer to any Office the honors of .
private station.

have shocked the plain water rubbings OF

been advocated, and every morning tub

Chicago the independent movement
assumed unexpected proportions while
in other cities it developed much
strength. This is because the better
class of men have taken matters in hand.
One Of them in Chicago is DR.. Henson,

speech on political reform he replied to
those who sneered ut the minister ID

The 'bunco game" has been in vogue
for some time but it is only of late that
its methods have received endorsement
from official sources. The French pleni-
potentiary to Madagascar in his desire
to cur Queen Ranavalona's signature
60 a new treaty employed the services of
a. conjurer to surprise the lady with
his supernatural power. He succeeded
in "him-flamming" her to the queens
taste and the treaty was signed, max
ing valuable concessions to the French.
The affair has become public over the
failure of the minister to settle with the

on a fine morning and find that he had
been hypnotized into signing an apology
to Bismarck for the unwarranted in
trusion of the American hog.

SOCIAL STATUS.

Personal dignity is a possession that
most men are anxious to maintain, and
social consideration amongst woman
kind is a strong and commendable
desire. For the one many men have
been known to make considerable sacri-
fees, and for the other women have been
suspected, Justly or unjustly, of making
more. But, according to the latest de-
liverance on the subject, it would seem
that much of this toll and anxiety has
been thrown away. 1t has been pro-
ceeding on wrong lines. For heads OF
families, there is one and only one
essential for personal dignity and social
consideration. They must never live in
a hotel, and they must not change their
home in fifty yearo. The fiat has gone
forth, and there is nc appeal. The great
~Panjandrum has spoken, and all is
settled. President Eliot, Of Harvard,
after agonizing throes of thought, has
given to the world a great and a new
attribute dignity and social considera-
ton to a family that lives in a hotel or
which moves into a new flat every first
of May"
With bowed head and with blushing
face, We acknowledge and confess that
we have associated with families whose
home was a hotel. We can only plead
that we were in ignorance of the enor-
nifty of our offense. Our supplemented
trust has been taken advantage
of. But we have made a solemn
vow never, never more to listen
to the stock excuses of a
delicate wife and the cares of house
keeping in the northwest. When we
think Of the number of times we have
been fooled by these and similar pro-
testations we hunt around in vain to
find a reasonable excuse for our exist
ence. What gulls We have been. To
think that personal worth had any APP
preciable value in the delicate scales of
society! To imagine that men could be
so full of energy and enterprise for
themselves and their fellow-mortals that
they could not afford to vegetate in one
spot for the term of their natural exist
ence. But we are done with such per
petual motion cranks for ever. What
would this great American
wealth of ours have been without So
ciety! Men who live in hotels cannot
enter society; WI have no use for them.
They cannot hope to marry their sisters
and their cousins and their aunts to i'm
pecunious foreigners, whose only merit
is that of the potato and the turnip,
that the best Of them is underground.
They cannot set up a golden calf, and
sit down in idleness to lick the dust
that has been trodden by his golden
feet. These and a thousand other
meritorious, highly m%eritorious actions,
they cannot indulge in, and it is to be
sincerely hoped for the future of this
great country-that they never will.

The question Of electing the president
and vice-president by popular vote has
been discussed so often that the advan-
tages and disadvantages of such change
are pretty we'll understood by the people
at large. When the present system of
choosing electors by popular vote was
first proposed it was thought that the
method combined fairness with simpli-
city of form. While a direct vote for
the officers has from time to time been
proposed, the discussion has never
assumed anything like a party issue.
1t has been confined to magazine writer's
and has never been seriously Or widely
debated by the party leaders. Interest
in the subject has, however, been re-
awakened to some degree by a bill which
has already passed the Michigan house
OF representatives and is likely to pass
the senate and become a law under the
signature of Governor Winans. Under
its provisions a presidential elector will
be chosen by popular vote in each con
gressional district, leaving two electors
for the state at large. AS the state is
now divided the passage of the bill
means that the electoral delegation will
be divided between the republicans and
democrats unless one party should carry
all OF the congressional districts, which
is improbable. The temptations for
gerrymandering will of course be much
greater under this system though the
democrats are not likely to suffer SO
long as they retain control of the legis-
lature. The progress of the bill will be
watched with much interest, for if it be-
comes a law, it is not unlikely that other
states will follow with similar legislation,
