QUEEN LII AND GROVER.

And so Queen Lii of Hawaii is to be

she desires to be honored she should

countries where royal blood means some

on the hunt for sister. It's brother

So far as those two state papers are con-

There is a well-knowE story Of an
old farmer calling his three idle sons
around him when on his death bed,
to impart to them an important Sc
cret. "My sons" said he, ga great
treasure lies hid in the estate which
am about to leave to YOU" TIE old
man gasped. "Where is it hid?'' ex-
claimed the sons in a breath. 81 am
about to tell yon," said the old man;
''you will have to dig for it" But
his breath failed him before he could
impart the weighty secret, and he
died. Forthwith, the sons set to
work with spade and mattock upon
the long neglected fields, and they
turned up every sod and clod upon
the estate. They discovered no treas
ure, but they learned TO work; and
when the fields were sown, and the
harvest came, 10! the yield was pro
digious, in consequenceof t19 t nor
ough tillage which they had under
gone. Then it was that they discov-
cred the treasure concealed in the es
tate, Of which their wise old father
had advised them.

ELECTTNG Il PRESIDENT.

There is a surprising amount of mis-
information current as to presiden-
tial elections even though campaign
has been going on now for nearly five
months, in which every item of in
| formation possible about such an ell
ection ought to have been fully ex-
| planned and understood. There are
thousands Of people in this country
who still entertain the idea that they
vote directly for president, whereas
they never have an opportunity to do
anything of the kind. They vote for
men who vote for president, as they
vote for members of the state legis
latures who choose United States SEN
ators.
/ The presidential election every four
years always takes place on the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in
November. The number of the cleo
tors to which each state is entitled is
always equal to the number of sena-
state. The number of representa-
tives to which each state is entitled
according to the ratio of representa-
ton as it now obtains and will obtain
until 1903 can be determined by divid-
ing the total population by 1901.
It sometimes happens that some
one is chosen to run for an elector
who has had talent for making enc
mics and who is therefore badly
scratched on the ticket. 1t SO metimes
happens that some one on the oppo
sition ticket is exceptionally popular
throughout the state. A case like this
happened in 1892 in Ohio, when one
Democratic and % Republican cleo
tors were chosen.
The electors meet on the second
Monday in January, next following
their election, at such place as the
state Legislature may direct, and gen
orally such place is the capitol, and
they cast their several votes for the
president and vice president. This
they do by signing two certificates of
all the votes given by them, each of
which certificates must contain two
distinct lists, one of the votes for
president, the other for vice presi
dent These lists are sealed and sent
to the president of the United States
Senate at the seat of the government
on the second Monday in January.
They are accompanied by certificate
duly excepted by the governor of the
respective state, which certificate sets
forth the names of the electors and
the number and division of votes cast.
The governors of states are required
to send a duplicate certificate to the
secretary of state of the United
States.

PATENTS.

If you look back on the history of
human progress, you will find that
none of the great epoch making in
ventions has ever been patented. The
man who lit the first ire-whether
Prometheus or the party from whom
he stole the idea-did not get patent
for it. Neither did the man who
made the first wheel, in every sense
one of the most revolutionary inven-
tions in the history of man. The same
thing may be said of the invention of
soap, candles, gun powder, umbrellas
and the mariners compass, or, to
come down to our own day, of the
steam engine and the telegraph.
Patents are mostly concerned with
small mechanical details and inn
provements-it may be in the appli
cation of steam and electricity-and
by means of these patents enormous
profits have been secured to second
rate inventors, but the great ideas
and discoveries which underlie these
details have been given to the world
gratis.
There is general notion that if you
did not protect inventions by means
of patents inventors would cease to
invent and material progress would
come to standstill. But history does
not bear this out in the least. Men
with great mechanical gifts do not
exercise them solely with a view to
commercial profit any more than as
tronomers search the heavens for
new worlds with an eye to register
ing patents and floating companies
on the result of their discoveries.
