pable of seeing enything. Yetsuch is the
caliber of our politicians that they go right
on with acts that the people repudiate,
even to the degree of perpetrating them
without the slightest material gain.
The introduction of such juggles with
the Electoral College after half century
of undisturbed uniformity suggests the
emphatic pertinence of an amendment to
the Constitution abolishing the antiquated
and cumbrous machinery and turning
over the election of President to direct
vote of the people.

READY FOR KRUPP's BIG GUN.
Preparations to Receive and Handle the
Mammoth Ordnance.

Mammoth Ordnance.
BALTIMORE, Dec. H.-The Maryland Steel
Company's enormous shear legs at the
marine works at Sparrow's Point are nearly
ready to receive Krupp's 124-ton gun, to be
exhibited at the Worlds Fair. The hydrau-
lie mechanism by which the shears will be
worked is complete. New trestlework has
been erected under the brige of the Balti-
more ana Sparrow's Point Railroad across
Bear creek, to give the structure greater
strength for supporting the weight OF the
gun. 1t is said the gun will cost nearly $780,
600. Its length, 81 feet is nearly twice that
of the largest gun owned in this country,
which is As feet long. 1t is said if fired on
the lake front at Chicago, the concussion
would be SO great that it would shutter
nearly all the window glass in Chicago. The
gun will carry ball Is or l6 miles.
The gun and the several pieces of smaller
ordnance and armor plate to comprise the
Krupp exhibit will probably be brought
over next month. The special cars being
constructed by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, to carry the exhibit TO Chicago,
will be finished and delivered at Sparrow's
Point in 6 couple of weeks. The cars will be
the largest ever built, and almost entirely
of iron. One of them will be placed on 80
unusually large and strong wheels. This
will be used for transporting the l24.ton
gun.

JUGGLING WITH ELECTORAL VOTES.

The report that the Republicans who
have carried the Michigan Legislature are
going to repeal the Miner electoral law,
and by so doing claim the right to select
electors by legislative enactment, is one
that warrants few words of commentary.
1t is of the sort that the politicians of the
present day are capable of, with the addi-
ton that, as it cannot affect the result of
the election, it is wanton exhibition of
political grabbing.
The Miner law was grab of exactly
the same sort. 1t showed the readiness
of the perpetrators to set up new stand
ard of representation in the Electoral
College which they would not recognize
elsewhere simply for the sake of getting
few electoral votes by special process
The purpose of the alleged Republican
scheme to match the grab can have no
other effect than to advertise the fact that
Republican politicians have just the same
disregard for principle as the Democrats
Still it does not seem wise to take special
pains to advertise it without the slightest
expectation of return from the adyer-
tisement
What makes the plan especially stupid
Is its failure to recognize the lesson of the
election by which the Republicans are re-
stored to power in Michigan. The Demo-
Gratis juggled with the electoral represent
alton and the people put them out of
power in the year when they swept the
rest of that country. Those who cannot
see in this popular rebuke to every such
attempt at political grabbing are inca

eft of the dancers, and there were floral
decorations to add TO the natural beauty of
the elegantly furnished rooms. The dane

always prevalent among those VINO nave not

and there Is no doubt that the young hostess
will carry back to school some most delight
were served during the evening, and the
whole affair was OF most hOspitable as
well as elaborate character.

Snow smooths q bed for the clover.
Life flames anew, and days TO come

The White House is still in state of
quarantine, and bids fair to remain SO for at
least three weeks to come. Red cards say
ing scarlet fever within" are conspicuous
on the entrances to the private part of the
mansion on the first ana second floors, and
the outside doors display small notices to the
effect that the house is closed to the public.
The Office part of the building however, is
open for business as usual, and the Presi-
dent, Secretary Halford and their assistants
will be found at their desks by any one
whose business requires their attention. 1t
is hardly necessary to say that there are
very few such visitors at present. The At
torney General was the Presidents only
caller this morning, and he called princi-
pally to inquire after little Martena Harri-
son. There is no material change in her
condition. and none is expected until the
disease has run its allotted course. The
disease gives no occasion for special alarm.
Benjamin and Marie Mckee are still pris-
oners in the house. with quarters far distant
from the sick chamber, and SO far have
shown no symptoms whatever of the fever.
They have been compelled to cancel all the
holiday engagements they had made with
their juvenile companions.
