The Vice Presidency.


The original paragraph of the Constitu-
ton relating to the electoral college directed
that the person having the greatest number
of votes should be the President, if such
number were majority, and the person
having the next greatest number should be
the Vice President. Thus it was possible for
the defeated candidate for the presidency
to become Vice President and for these two
officials to represent the opposing political
parties. This contingency was prevented by
the twelfth amendment, which distinctly
states that the Vice President shall be the
one who has received a majority of the
votes for that office. and contemplates that
the electors shall have before them nomi-
nees for both positions.
Possible Combination.
The triangular fight for the vice presi-
dency this year brings into existence some
interesting possibilities affecting the pres
idency. Suppose the morning after election
1t were known to a certainty that 2l0
Mckinley and Hobart electors had been
chosen, 205 Bryan and Sewall eIeci>5" and
81 Bryan and Watson electors. On tie face
OF the returns Bryan would have been
elected President, with none of the candi-
dates for second place in possession of a
majority. The electoral college does not
meet in the various states for some weeks
after election and hence there would be
time for a combination to be made such as
is even now foreshadowed by the threats
of certain midde-of-the-road'' popuIists.
These men whose watchWord is IF no
Watson: no Bryan declare that if Sewall
is retained the democratic ticket and
the Bryan and Sewall electors should refuse
to cast their votes for Watson as Vice
President. in the emergency above sug
gested, they may throw enough votes
to Mckinley. to elect him Presiden

A SINKING TOWN.

The town of .Northwich,
England. is slowly sinking,
and it is apparently only a
question Of time before it will
have entirely. disappeared.
The principal industry. Of the
town is the salt mines, and the
result of the constant tuneling
has been such as to cause de
pressions in various parts of
the town, which clearly betoken
an impending Collapse.
At a depth of 200 or 800
feet are immense submarine
lakes OF brine, which are con
tinually being pumped out, and
the upper crust of the earth is
thereby correspondingly weak
ened. AS the salt rock has
been cut away large pillars
have been left standing to sup
port the surface, but at inter
walls the mines have been flood
ed and the pillars of salt have
been dissolved by the wafer.
Luckily the most extreme
cases of subsistence have hap
pened in the sparsely settled
portions of the town, and for
this reason no lives have been
lost.
But the depressions have
affected the buildings, ar4d it is
not an uncommon thing 70 see
buildings leaning over cat a
dangerous angle. The roads
in the vicinity are DANGEROUS
to travel in the night time, ow

thus formed would mean sud
