The Ancent bul1dozer OF tho Chicago Tines
is particularly unhappy over the prospective
adoption Of ths plan for deciding the PrcBi-

plan, IL adopted, will hive to pass both
Houses Of Congress and thereby aass,mo tie
validity and force OF law, and ii carried into
effect will probably achieyo a peaceabIo If
not q satisfactory solution OF tho threatening
complication. hut those two results are pre-
cisely what tho Chicago Bulidozer wants to
avoid. 1Ie does not want tho dispute settlcd
by law, but wants tho Democratic faction In
the House of Representatives to 60 outside
of the law and organize revolution by assert
ing the authority in and by itself to declare
non-election and then proceed to choose q
President Ho wanta T1DkN inaugurated 70
badly that he is willing to resort 10 revolu-
ton to compass it, and demands revolution
II he bo not inaugurated. Peace and law
will satisfy him IN no event.
An election for President has been held
and tue votes cast, Congress itself, and
much loss one House OF Congress-, has no
authority to order that tho Electoral votes
shall not be counted, because the Coastitu-
tion orders that they shall bo counted. Tho
only power that Congress has ls to prohibit
tho counting OF pretended Electoral votes,
which arc, as matter Of fact, no votos at all.
