THROWS UP THE SPONGE.

Hon. VIM L. McMillen writes from WASH
ineton. December 8, q letter to Gov. Nc
Emery, which is deemed of sufficient impor-
lance to be telegraphed in full by the agents
of the Associated Press. Mr.. McMillen an
nounces that he withdraws his credentials as
United States Senator elect from the State OF
Louisiana, and virtually renounces all Chains
to that Office, giving reasons at some length
upon which it is not our present purpose TO
comment
He represents his case as turning upon the
Wheeler compromise and the recognition OF
Kellogg as Governor by the Democrats OF the
Louisiana House OF Representatives, many Of
whose members belonged to the same legis-
lative organization that recognized McEnery
as Governor and selected himself (McMillen)
as United States Senator. Referring our
readers to his letter, we will merely add that
Gen. McMillen ought to have addressed 1t to
Gov. McEnery, if at all, Immediately after the
acceptance Of the Wheeler compromise by the
Democrats of the Louisiana House of Repre-
sentatives.
Gen. McMilen, Republican from OHIO
and an officer of note and rank III the Union
army, invested largely in Louisiana property
and became prominen. in the political affairs
of the Stats from thu time Of the adoption
of the Radical Constitution of 1868. He was
a member Of the Lower House Of the General
Assembly Of that year, the leader and facIe
princeps of the body. Much to the chagrin
of Democratic members he engineered the
organization Of the House with such energy,
sudacity and skill as to give the Radicals COM
plete control. But through the remainder OF
the session and in following sessions, as well
as while serving as Senator, we believe he
rendered the Radical dynasty utterly odious
He was, and, 10 far as we know, he is still an
ardent Republican, but he did not join the
gangs and rings engaged in plunaering the
Treasury of the Safe. Happy indeed would
it have been for poor Louisiana if every white
here had been of the same high
character.
Had it been the fortune of McMillen to
be admitted to seat in the United States
Senate he would have indicated the PARTIAL
ty Of those who chose him in spite of political
differences. He is very we'll informed, ready
and able in debate, skillful pariamentarian,
in.wit and humor, and with o man
ner which wins respect and inspires conf
dence. Republican though he was, he could
have done much for Louisiana in the United
States Senate.
The esteem in which Gen. McMillen has
been and is still held by the gentlemen of
Louisiana can be no better expressed than by
the often heard regret that he is not q
Democrat.

TINKERING WITH ESTABLISHED
USAGE,

The telegraph announces that Senator Alof-
ton introduced on the 9Th bill regulating
the counting of votes for President ana VICE
President. The text OF the bill will be awaited
with no little interest. The chances are that
there is latent mischief in it. His joint reso-
luton relative to the election of President by
the direct vote of the people, without the ex-
listing machinery of the electoral college, is
probably resolution in which an amendment
to the Constitution is proposed, without when
the method now instituted can not be changed
If there were no other benefits resulting
from the present electoral system, we wish to
see it retained for the reason that 1t IS one OF
the lines of demarkation between the Federal
and the State goveraments-one OF the par
riers established for wise purposes, to prevent
the States from losing their independence ana
self-governing functions. The question viz
tually put by the Constitution, as 1t now
stands, to the people of each State is
"Whom do the majority of the peo-
pie of your State prefer for President"
The question is not addressed to each
individual voter merely as an inhabitant OF
the nation at large, but to each voter as a
citizen of one of the States. 1t seemed to be
a subject of jealous solicitude with our anees-
tors that the dividing lines of State and Fed
eral power should never be lost sight OF.
Thus in the amendment of 1904, providing
for the case where no candidate has major
ity Of electoral votes, the House of Represent
atives in such case does not vote by members
but by States, each State, large or small, hav-
ing one vote and no more, majority OF all
the estates being necessary to choice.
Mr.. Morton's amendment is intended to
prevent an election of President from going
to the House of Representatives as well as to
give to all candidates the full benefit of all
the votes received whether such votes are
minorities or majorities in the several States
where given. The proposition will, no doubt,
meet with considerable favor, as the change
has often been discussed. The amendment
could not be ratified in time for the coming
election, yet the mover, an exceedingly adroit
politician, expects his party to gain
favor by advocating the measure,
and the opposition to lose votes and influence
by opposing it. The question is one which
the Legislatures of the several States will de-
eide upon finally, and that decision can not be
reached in less than two years.
If this change is ever made it will be quick
ly followed by the election of United States
Senators directly by the people, and thus,
step by step, the federation of many repub-
lies will become single conglomerate mass,
ruled by majorities against whose tyranny
there will remain no protection at all.

tween the people Of the North and those of
the South, in spite of the politicians, is fast
abating, or giving way to strife between other
sections. Next years election is to be the
last in which sectional hatred will be made
part of the stock in trade of any political

THE CHICAGO BUNKO MOB.
Let Them i" Move On"

New Orleans has recently received an acces.
sion to her population which is by no means
desirable, and which our police authorities
should take immediate steps to rid US of.
We refer to mob of "Bunko men, who,
having been run out of Chicago by the
authorities as a nuisance, have selected this
city as the one in which it may most
safely ply its nefarious game, which is even
worse than highway robbery, and which has
been of incalculable injury to us in the
past
The holidays are nearly here, and within
the next few weeks thousands of strangers
will arrive, most of whom will bring
with them more or less large sums of money.
If these people, who come to New Orleans to
spend pleasant time and invest their hardly
won earnings, be left to the mercy Of these
prowlng and unscrupulous bands of bunko
men, it will be not only burning shame and
severe reflection upon the community, but
positive crime. We owe our visitors protec-
ton, and we have a police quite ample to
guard them from plunderers, if it does its
duty. That the Superintendent of Po-
lice will see that this protection is
afforded We have every reason to
believe, inasmuch as he has very effgctually
thus far, as we learn, prevented the opening
of bunko houses or the prosecution of the
game 1t is much easier, however, to pre-
vent the opening of the game than to stop it
after it has commenced operations, and we
now warn Superin tendent Loan that unless
rigid measures be adopted to suppress the re-
Gently arrived mob of bunko men from Chi
cago, the game will be in full operation here
in a few days. Let him, in the exercise of
the power he yields, tell these men to "move
on " to other fields and pastures new. This
community has been shorn enough already.

that the sale of pools is authorized by the

very spirited,

We are glad to note that as the time APP
proaches for the assembling of the convention
our people are taking more interest in the
matter. The fact seems gradually dawning
upon the minds of those of our citizens who
generally evince no special anxiety about cleo
tons or political movements save to vote
when the time comes, that negligence on their
part in reference to the selection of delegates
will assuredly result in great detriment to
them and to the State.
If lot of incompetent or unduly prejudiced
men are sent as delegates 10 the
January Convention there is little
prospect that the foundation of the
Democratic platform for the next campaign
will be of sufficient strength to carry the great
measures of reform which the party must bear
with them to the front if they expect to gain
a sweeping victory The way to insure complete
success is 10 see that every step taken be well
advised and marked with wisdom and fore
thought, and this can only be done by every
honest and upright man in the State taking
Great personal interest in the matter
Let every man feel that to him individually
will attach fair share of the fruits Of victory,
or the burdens of defeat, just in proportion as
he has been diligent or careless In lending bis
assistance towards securing the redemption
If his State. Every voter should attend the
,naetnos of his ward club, take active part in
ne deliberations, and see to it that only the
hest men in the ward are sent as delegates to
the Convention, and be assured the result will
amply repay for any trouble or annoyance ex-
perienced.
