Mex who have given the matter attention, say that bribery in the Eiighsh elections has been far more extensive, open and brazen than in the most corrupt parts of this country. It has generally been in small constituenciesand consisted in giving money to peo ple directly for- their votes. The high standing of those who have been in the habit of. disbursing corruption funds lias heretofore been a shield against punishment, but there have lately been some convictions which may have a salu tary effect. The "respectable" 'criminals -were not pardoned be fore they.wcnt to jail, as the Cam eron crowd did it in Pennsylvania, but will have to serve out the terms for which they have been sentenced. In large constituen cies the British will learn to follow the American plan. The govern ment will judiciously distribute offices among the more active poli ticians and will buy up stump speakers and petty leaders. It is a vulgar bribe to gain the vote of a man by giving him money, but it is all right, according to many politicians, to use offices as re wards. The British method has one advantage; ihe fellows who se.ll themselves, are not placed in positions which ought to be filled with honest and capable men. Presidential Succession. The over present knowledgo that the assassination of our chief magistrate is likely to change the political complexion of the Gov ernment, reversing the solemn verdict of the people, suggests the need of some legislation which will malce it impossible to effect such a change bv the destruction of a single life. It is almost universally the case that vice-presidents go contrary to the implied policy of their predecessors, indeed if the place could be abolished by con stitutional amendment, an element of great danger would bo removed. The natural line of presidential succession should bo through the cabinet. It is the personal history of a presidential candidate that is the most potent cause of his elec tion, forlhat gives general assur ance of his future policy. In selecting his cabinet he selects men that arc in accord with him, and therefore with the majority of the voters of the country. His death could cause no political changes. It would be necessary for future Guiteaus to kill the president and the entire cabinet before they could overturn the nation's affairs. And the execu tion of Guitcau will not p'revent a recurrence of regicide, if by such murder minority factions may re new a lapsed leaco of power. The great temptation to such a crime can best be removed by changing the present manner of the presi dential succession. An Indian Empire. The recent purchase of a right of waj' across the Indian Territory b a railroad company, reveals rather a curious state of affairs in that part of our great republic. The company in question asked for the use of a strip of land two hundred feet wide with additional strips at places where stations were to be built. To secure this privilege the Go eminent of the .United States had to send an em bassador to the Choctaw nation and ask it as a favor from the dusky government for the railroad company. After much diplomacy, intrigue, and circumlocutory ne gotiation the "boon was granted, the railroad company -being obligpd to pay a high rent. The two hundred feet so secured across that isolated spot is a sort of dead line. A United States citizen go ing beyond on either side does so at his peril. As far as safety or protection goes, he might as well be in.Kamscbatka for all the good our Government would be to him. It is rather a singular state of affairs to exist right in the heart of the nation. Abkam S. Hewitt says that a certain American steel rails mill, having a capital of $2,000,000, made a profit in one yc.ir of $2,000,000. This was done In availing itself to the utmost of the tariff of 528 per ton, amounting at present prices to about 98 per cent, of protection. Mr. Hewitt thinks the steel rails men could set along well enough with $14 per ton or about 50 per cent. Alta. That forms a very pretty one sided argument for the protection ists, but the purchasers, out of whom the company, having a capi tal of $2,000,000, made a profit in one year of 2,000,000, might have a different argument. The General Association of the Congregational Church of Califor nia has had Judge Davis, Presi dent pro tem. of the Senate, pre sent to that body a scries of resolutions urging recognition of the rights of the Southern Cali fornia Mission Indians. No more wretched record of injustice exists than the history of those unfortu nates and their treatment by their white conquerors and present ox terminators. It is positively stated that ex Senator Sargent will be appointed Secretary of the Interior afterFeb ruary 1st. There is enough busi ness under the generic title "De partment of the Interior," to take up the time of half a dozen heads of departments. The growing wants of the industries necessarily neglected renders some additional secretaryships unavoidable. The Rev. Dr. Woolfolk has a neat plan lately, presented to the Polvtechnic societv of Louisville to "clothe all the Arctic region in living green, and make the wintry world blossom as the rose." The Rev. doctor's plan for thus clothing and blossoming the northern lati tudes, is to explode 1,000,000 worth of powder on the extreme western verge of Alaska. The 'Washington grand juny have summoned witnesses in the star route cases, and it is claimed that even yet sustainable indict ments will be found against the guilty parties and that they will be punished. "What's in a name," is being exemplified in New York, wlierc the editor of a paper called "Truth" is being tried for perjury. The question after the Guiteau trial closes will be what Judge Cox shall do with his acquired reputation. Ead- is in Washington seeking governmental aid for his isthmus ship railway.
