The bill prepared by Congressman Lodge, of Massachusetts, regulating Congressional elections, is of the utmost importance. It may Dot go through on its present form, but some s««h legislation is sure to be adopted, either by this Congress or in the near future. Ic brief, it ap plies the features of the Australian system to Representatives districts. Federal control of Congressional elections is but a stepping stone to Federal control of Presidential elec tions. The electoral system ha 3 stood the test of a century, but it has received some pretty severe shocks. The time must come when the present plan of electing Presi dents by States must cease in the interest of purer politics. There is 110 longer a necessity for electors and electoral colleges. Why should not every citizen of every State cast his vote directly for President and Vice President, the grand majority in the nation at large to determine the result ? ll is an old idea, but it will continue to be a pretty lively one until the change is made. The advantages of such a system are great. The premium on fraud would vanish. We should hear no more of close states and the pur chase of voters to tarry them. In diana could vote in peace. The grand struggle to carry New York* New Jersey and Connecticut would come to an end, for a few hundred votes either way would make no change iu the result. Every citizen of the United States would feel that hia vote was needed to help out the grand total, and the election would become of national imjiortance and the interest would not be confined to a desperate contest over three or four States. About the only plausible objec tion to R national election of this nature would be the possibility of frauds in some of the Southern St itee, but just here Federal con trol would step in. Apply the Australian system to every precinct. Make the law uniform everywhere, and the danger of fraudulent voting would practically be eliminated. We should then have the nearest to an ideal election possible, and the charges and counter charges of cor ruption. BO fiercely made every four years, would no longer disgrace the nation. This alone is worth striv. ing for. But there is another argument in favor of a majority election. Every public man would have an equal chance as a candidate for the nom" ination. A National Convention would be free to pick out the best and brainest man wherever he might be found. Too frequently it seems to be necessary to cater to doubtful States, and close States have more than once controlled nominations that under other circumstances would have gone elsewhere. The nation's greatest statesmen have been barred from competition solely because of location. Tn the selec tion of a President we are thus sometimes confined to narrow limits, while the nation at large has no more chance in a convention than Canada or the Sandwich Islands. The injustice of this is apparent to all, but the trouble has been to over come the difficulty. There is but one way to overcome it. and that is the adoption of a con stitutional amendment providing a change in the electoral system. What is termed in these davs "practical, politics" can be overcome in no'o ther way. Let the natron and not the doubtful States make the choice and we shall have purer politicos land a minimum of fraudu lent voting. As a movement in the direction of Federal control of Presi dential sleutloos wc look upou Mr. Lodge's bill with more han ordi nary interest. ' ' Democracy's Favorite Son. I The Cleveland camp kas been I thrown into a state of t4urrti by the conspicuous mention of Mr. Wallaec's availability as a Presidential candid ate. This alarm extends to other States where the Cleveland game is being played with greater success than in this State,J where Scott has undertaken the job of delivering to Cleveland the national delegates. Randall, by illness, being out of the way, it, has not been contemplated by the supporters of Cleveland that Pennselvania would appear In the convention with a delegation sup porting a home candidate. Wallace until recently was viewed nowhere outside of the State as a Presidential quantity. At home the fact was confined to a small circle Of discreet friends who even now preserve wise silunee to the public at large. Wal lace has all the backing Randall can give him, though some members of the Randall club of Pittsburg, from whom the Wallace secret has been withheld, came near the imprudence of committing themselves to Camp bell, of Ohio. Now that Wallace's attitude is known, Scott's zeal for Cleveland and the warmth of the friendship of the ex-Senator's sup porters will be displayed iu many ways. As Democrats contemplate Wallace as the Favorite Son of the party in the Keystone State, the ' stronger they grow in his support. !It is true, however, that it was not intended to display the Wallace Presidential colors so early in the fight for delegates for Governor and it was done only after a careful sur vey of tne field. The enemies of Wallace, despairing of beating him in regular fight, have resorted to the J compromise game. For this pur | pose a number of candidates will be proposed, Mr. Ilarry McCoruiiek, of llarrisburg, being the latest. 'l'li6 supporters of Cleveland ure cunrass ing daily. It will take a great deal to drag the Democrats of this State into the support of Cleveland and free trade. Wallace and the Tariff ! would be much more in accord with ! their ideas. HlMltllllv IN A. PASSION. lie limit -111uI IVe I* Not so Ureal n* lie Tliouirbt. BKULIK, March 23.—Among the numerous statements concerning the crisis in government affairs is the assertion that the kaiser some time ago obtained from Gen. von Ca privi a memorandum setting forth his views on foreign and domestic politics, and this incident is ac cepted aH showing that Wilhelm foresaw his parting with Bismarek and bad prepared for the emer gen (;y. Herr Kichter's Radical organ de scribes Prince Bismarck's present frame of mind as a white beat of passion. He is said to be enraged at tbe calmness with which bis linal resignation has been regarded by the nation at large, and the discov ery that bis personal importance, in this era of European progress, is not considered so great by others as by himself has thrown him into a violent temper. It is reported that the ex-chancellor intends to visit the Riviera, and it is said that be will perhaps make a trip to Paris. It is stated Kaiser Wilheha has privately intimated to King Hum borto and Kaiser Franz Joseph that there will be no change in the German policy as regards the triple alliance. OIKTHE BRIVK OF KXPIWIiRE. Nuw York Ihroali-urd Willi Another Tivwd Sen Nation. NEW YOHK, March X'3. —New York is believed to be on the brink of another Tweed exposure. The Sheriff's office, known to be vulner able, has been attacked by a com mittee of the State Assembly. Thir ty attaches of the Sheriff's office have already been arrested, charged with extortion and bribery. Most of the crimes were committed while Mayor Grant was Sheriff, and the Mayor himself will be called into court to-morrow for certain irregu larities and alleged crooked prac tices in tbe office of Sheriff. Richard Croker, tbe Chief Sachem of Tammany Hall, who is alleged to be implicated with Grant, is in Europe, where he has just gone, it is thought, to avoid responsibility. Burke Cochran baa suddenly disap peared. lie is in the South, where he will remain until tbe present in vestigation closes. He left New York suddenly after tbe Investiga tion Committee discovered that the 30 odd deputies in the Sheriff's office had been paying him annually $17,- 000. Others high in authority antl power in Tammany are missing, while still more are preparing to leave. The Legislative investigation which threatens the exposure has been brought about by ex-Mayor Grace, who is ambitious to again be elected Mayor and in that way bring about the complete destruction of Tammany Hall. The trial of Henry W. King, pre fect of the Pennsylvania Institution for the blind, on the charges of infamous and immoral conduct at the institution, had been set down for Monday March 24th in the court of common pleas in Philadelphia but on motion of the accused man's counsel the trial was postponed un. til public excitement over the affair subsides. Prohibition wou a great victory in the House of Representatives last week when an amendment to the Oklahoma bill was passed prohibi ting the sale of liquor in that new territory. The hero of the occasion was a new member of Congress. Major Pickler, from South Dakota, formerly a member of the Legisla ture of the state of lowa and well versed in parlimentary law and practice, he is a Republican. D ÜBll OliE ITEM a. Editor Streby of the Gazette visited Forksville on Monday. The new clothing store of M. M. Alarks & Co., was opened Saturday. A sure cure for consumption is to suck a fivsh egg laid by the sumo hen for thirty days. E. J. Billings, of New Albany, opened his new Hour snd feed store Wednesday of this week. Owing to some difficulty or mis understanding between "Uncle" Swartz and Ed. Elmendorf, the druggist, the center drug store has been closed for the past week and when re-opened the business will proh.i lily be conducted by another. It is said that Theodore Huhn, who, until recently, litis been em ployed in the harness shop of Geo. W. 11 ay man, will soon open a shop of his own. If the report be true we bespeak for Mr. Halm the large patronage he merits. It is too bad that Editor Newell is having so much trouble about the new postage stamps and tho new school house. Nevertheless we think either "Uncle Sain" or the Dushore school board are able to "paddle their own canoe." Fred, you shoultl be a little better posted before you condemn the school board another time. They have been at work for several weeks making pre liminary arrangements for the erec tion of the new building, holding a meeting on Monday night of each week. A telegram received at this place on Monday morning announced the death of Oliver Cole at Sterling Illinois. The telegram stated that he was killed on a railroad but gave no further particulars. Oliver was a young unmarried man of about 2S years of age and a son of A. Cole, of this plnce. He was well known to the people of this community, having held positions of trust in several business places here, lie was a clerk in Welles & Co's. gener al store for a long time and after ward in tho hardware store of Cun ningham & Oole, which position he resigned about a year ago togo West with Geo. llirleman and as sist him in buying horses and other western stock for the eastern market. While here everybody was his friend. He was a member of the Sous of Veterans and the Dushore camp immediately telegraphed back that his body should be sent to this place accompanied by n guard and that no expense should be spared in seeing for him as they would re deem the amount whatever it might be. The remains are expected to arrive on Thursday when they will bo laid to rest in Bahr's cemetery under the auspices of the Sons of Veterans. Mr. Dole's parents and three brothors are living and all re side at this place All sympathize with them in the loss of their be loved son and brother in the prime of life. Novus HOMO.
