elected for full terms long before vacancies

of Representatives
There are precedents, no doubt, which
will be cited both for and against the con-
tenton that members of the House OF
Representatives can resign their seats,
their designations TO take effect at a future
day to be fixed by themselves. But these
carelessly made presidents should be
made to yield to the facts and the law and
the Constitution and the best interests OF
the country. Congress might pass law
on that subject which would settle the
question. and yet not interfere with the
constitutional provisions on the subject.

Republicans and Silverltes

The New York Herald has found n
mares nest. Some of the Democratic
congressman are said TO be almost boiling
over with wrath because of Mr.. CLEvR-
LANDS alleged obstinaoy, and an upturn
Of the Democratic party NAV result.
II there is anv foundation for the
Herald's statement the world will soon
learn the fact. We are inclined to the
opinion that Mr.. CLEVELAND has manifested
kindly disposition towards all good
Democrats. In fact. he declared that
Congress should rise above all mere party
considerations in legslating upon the
finances. If he can thus treat the Repu5-
licans It is not likely that he will prosecute,
or even neglect, the silverites. He must
have more sympathy with the latter than
with the former.

The O'Ferrall Resignation


Much attention has been given in Wash
ington TO the question raised in the case OF
Colonel .O'FKERALL as To whether con-
gresham can resign his seat, the resigna-
tion 10 take effect at future time, TO be
specified in the letter of resignation. We
say &C congressman because We assume
that If member of the Senate can resign
and fix day in the future when his resig
nation shall take effect member OF the
House Of Representatives can do the same.
The Federal Constitution seems 10 imply
that there was intended TO be no substan-
tial difference between the circumstances
attending senator's resignation and the
circumstances attending the resignation ct
member OF the House Of Representatives.
As TO the House it says:
when vacancies happen In the rep
respiration from any State tho executive
authority thereof shall issue writs of cleo
ton 70 fill such vacancies"
As to the Senate il says;
III vacancies happen by resignation or
eshsrwise during the recess of the Legis-
iAtare OF any state the executive thereof
pay make Temporary appointments until
we mex, meeting Of the Legislature, which
shall then fll such vacancies"
The executive authority" is a phrase
used TO describe not only the Governor OF
aState but an executive council. shch as
W used 10 have in Virginia. wherever
such council might exist.
We take II that the executive can appoint
anew member in the case Of member OF
the Senate, or issue writ OF election in
the case OF member Of the House of
representatives. just as soon rs the fact
oi RESIGNATION comes TO his knowledge. I
not. how long must tho executive wait ?

Mr. WELLS, Mr.. WATTERsoS, and numer-

taxes upon tobacco. They say they can
thus raise fifty or sixty millions of dollars

Virginia to, just as she is about to e. INTO
a campaign which she hopes will end in
success. WELLS and WATTEEsoN would
d oubtless prefer this mode of increasing

on large incomes to such tax on tobacco
as was levied for years after tho end ing Of
