We printed yesterday an article upon
the pronounced tendency among leading
periodicals and journals to attract from
men and women Of notOriety matter for
their publications without a particle of
regard for the excellence OF the contri-
button.
We quoted an instance OF blunderins
contribution from Mrs Henry Ward
Beecher, in which she misquoted the Dee
laration Of Independence.
Now comes the information that the
New York World awarded TO Mrs. L. S.
Grant a prize Of $40 for "the best and
brlefest argument in favor Of McKin-
ley's election"
This is the gem that took the prize Il
say that Mckinley should be elected to
uphold the national honor, and for the
general welfare OF the country"
Its brevty is. TO be sure, attractive. and
the sentiment is just about what we would
have expected from lady of Mrs. Grants
age and temperament. We find no fault
on earth with her part in the matter,
but we must confess that we judge that
there must have been but little compe-
;tion for the prize
We rather like the thought OF offering
prizes as an incentive 10 effort upon the
part Of people who have talent. or who
have acquired superior knowledge
along any OF the various lines
OF research. but we do detest
shams and fakes. and are honest
in our belief that those sentiments over
the signature OF Mary Jones or Susan
Smith would have had no better chance
for a prize than a cabbage head at a
flower show.

THE YOSr-FLOOL CASE.

Many erroneous impressions prevail as
20 the outcome Of the Yost-Flo0d con-
test. Some have supposed that the al
tentative Of Mr. Floods refusal to ac-
cept the certificate OF election was TO
award the certificate TO Mr.. Yost. But
this is not true, as Mr.. Flood fully under
stood when he declined In his letter TO
the Board ne said that he would be glad
TO see the certificate 90 TO Mr.. Yost, If
the law permitted. The Board may re-
verse its decision. but 1t cannot award
the certificate to Mr.. Yost as the next
highest candidate.
Others have the impression that II
the Court of Appeals should decline TO
interfere. the result would be a new
election i'm the Tenth district. and that
the contest between Flood and Nost
would be fought over again. But that IS
not necessarily the case. 1t all depends
on what Congress may take it into its
head 10 do. Article !. section 8, Of the
Constitution. provides that leach House
shall be the judge of the election returns
and uIalnc5 tions Of its own members, y
and that makes the House Of Represen-
tatives supreme judge as between Messrs.
Flood and Yost. Should the Virginia
Court of Appeals decline 10 interfere. the
case will probably 30 TO the Supreme
Court of the United States, and if that
court should also decline to interfere,
then, 1t would be entirely competent for
the Tifty-ffth Congress, and it would he
entirely competent for the House to take
up his case and act upon it.

The Rev. Or. Calisch packed a great
deal of morality and patriotism into one
sentence when he said that political par
ties are necessary, but that more necos-
sary than parties are the patriotism and
honesty Of the individual citizen. The
Times took occasion several days ago
to emphasize the fact that individual re-
sponsibnity is the distinguishing charac-
teristic OF this age. A Man cannot shift
his burdens to the shoulders Of another.
A man cannot countenance a bad thing
in his party. and lay the responsibility
on the organization. AS each citizen g.
responsible under the civil law for his
acts. so IS each citizen responsible under
the moral law. lie may not hide his
political sins in the party 70 which he
belongs. THAT which IS morally wrong
cannot be politically right" and the man
who does n thing that is morally wrong
for political purposes is personally and
individually responsible before God for
his sins. More than that the citizen
knows that his party is guilty Of cor
rupt practices. it IS his duty before God
to protest. lie cannot go BIS peaceful
way. vote his acquicsence in wrong-doing
and then shirk responsibility by saying
that it is the party's affair. il is his
affair." and he can't escape the rcsponsi'
bility.
