sociology, and to all those sweet souls
that are ambitious to shine as pro-
fessional friends of man, the notion
of direct nominations is peculiarly
fascinating. The truth is that, while
OF notable value in particular in
stances, as a general principle it is
unsound and unnron1ising The: bosses
who; control conventions. and legislas
lures may be irreligious, old, and
wicked, but they know that at nominal
ton time they stand upon high place
in the sight of men, they know that
they are watched intently, and that
what they do must pass the challenge
of public criticism.
The people voting directly to effect
nomination are not so placed. One
voter may with wisdom and con-
science express his best opinion, quite
unknowing that his neighbors may at
the same moment be making most
fantastic and stupid use of their bal
lots And when it is done, they re-
gard their work, not with stern critical
judgment, but with the complacent
pride of authorship. The delegate,
with his sense of concentrated
hSSpOASiu1liGS, TIC CcfuCuS COuVSu-
ton guided by much antecedent can
wasting and discussion, acts with a
collective judgment that, in spite of
many lamentable failures and per-
versities, will on the large average,
we think, yield better results than the
popular plan. The advocates of the
fad have before them the SOLDERING ex-
ample Of the State of Tennessee. The
people of that state, voting as an in
structicn to their legislature in the
choice of a senator, rejected Senator
Carmack, man of brains and ability,
whose senatorial record proved him to
be capable of taking part with real
distinction in the discussion of great
public measures, and commended to
the legislature Fiddling Bob" Taylor,
a good-natured and popular gentleman
who lacks Mr.. Carmack's qualifica-
tons for the Office.
Very likely the people of New Ramp-
shire would by direct nominations
break the grip. of the Boston &
Maine railroad. But we should think
they might do that by the plain, old
fashioned expedient of sending to
their legislature men with sense and
morality enough to escape the lures
and the brides of that dissolute cor
poration. At any rate, the direct
nomination idea is not a cure-it is a
Inclusive nostrum.

member being an Irish corporal Of the

again we heard dull rumblings, as of
masses of earth falling into great
depths, and more rarely faint
kissing, as when a little water is
poured upon a great bed Of Goals.
