A Washington, d. c., dispatch OF De-
ccmber 6 says: Shortly after the OPEN
ing Of the Senate to-day Senator Turpie
of Indiana took the floor for . carefully
prepared report on the resolution for the
election of United States Senators by d.
rect vote Of the people. He said that
when we recall the harsh elimination,
gross charges Of pecuniary corruption
and OF fraudulent combination and in
trigue. disgrsceful and ~dishonorsble to
the whole body, with which . prolonged
Senatorial contest lie accompanied,
whether in party conference or in open
assembly. the removal of such an evil
should be deemed q prime political neces.
sity. It has been said that the Grand
Central railroad has chosen . Senator in
o certain State, the Central Bank haa
chosen another elsewhere, and . central
association Of miners and manufacturers
have defeated Q third. Nothing is in
tended to be assumed here concerning the
truth or falsity Of these assertions or &C.
cusations, but these m~alfeasant charges
have existence. The way Of their rid
dance is plain. II the choice of the con.
stituent members Of this body was left
to the mass Of voters 10 the several
States, the charges would be infinitely
lessened; they would altogether disap-
pear il no reasonable grounds could be
given for their support.

late . trust fund by means OF monthly

is designated 80 the ''conjugal jackpot
or trust fund.-" and % per cent OF the
money in the fund 10 to be paid on the
day Of marriage to the young lady who
opens the pot by marrying any member
OF the Association. The remaining IS
per cent is TO be held in the treasury as
g nucleus for q fund for the benefit Of

lied on December l, and the fund is to
be kept intact for six months from that
date, 60 the members OF the Association
marrying within that time will not be
entitled to any part Of the money.
Young men from all parts Of Michi-
gan are joining the Association. and it
promises to be one Of the most popular
societies in the State. II is but reason
able to assume. however. that nearly all
who become members Of the society in
tend to marry Ut an early date. otherwise
they would not feel disposed to pay
monthly assessments.

Ferdinand de Lssseps died on the It'll

wide fame by his connection with the
planning and building to . successful
completion the Suez Canal which con-
nectsd the continents Of Asia and Africa.
Suez Is connected by railway with Cairo
and Alexandra. but derives its principal
importance from the Suez Canal, OF
which it is the southern terminus. De
Lesseps has made this portion of the world
famous in opening IL up to commerce. In
late years he undertook to build . canal
across the Tsthmus Of Panama, but owing
to old age and inirmities, and the ex-
trAvagant waste Of the funds subscribed
by the French people. the project was
abandoned. De Lesseps leaves an
honorable name Notwithstanding the ef-
forts made to mix him up in the Panama
Canal i~mbroglio.
