The returns Of the movements Of population
In France for 1916 recently printed In tAc French
Journal 00'ofel, confirm wtat haa often bcsu
statcd In our columns about the decrease Of
population Ia that country. The total number
oi births was n0, prs or 1900 less tl,an In 1874
while the number Of deaths was 84s, ,o09 or Co.,
Wo moro than in 1874. The total lumber of
tllegttmatc births was $1,000, against $4,000
legitimate. or as IL to t00, which Is much tnrger
tlan In other European countries. With births
falling OIL aud deaths Increasing every year, Il
Is no wom1er that the leading French Journals

4-AAA**AARN NN10G9 n1V ExAhhAAt
Senator Hunt Inns introduced into tho ILL.,
nols Legislature tho draft Of law enabling
tlu people 10 choose annually tue Judges
and clerks who shall have charge OF the
elections to occur during tie courso OF tho
following year. II passed, as It should be,
II both parties In tho Legislature desire hon.
cat elections, this net will 60 fur toward pre-
venting q repetition of such acenes as dis
gracea tho charter election In this city two
years ago and Tie South Town election last
year. It will take tue appointment Of cleo
tton judges anl clerks out OF the hands Of
partisan Iaoartls, who aro now at liberty to
select two soouudrelly Democrats and cou-
nsyiug Republican, or plce oer*s, and It will
enable tho peoplo at general election to TO-
lcct The guardians OF lie ballot-boxes from
both parties.
seuator 1Iusrisbilt Ia modelled after, though
not nm exact Imitation Of, tho Pennsylvania
law which was framed by bIr. DucK4Lzw, tho
well-known Electoral rsformer. It provides
that .hrso election Judges aud two clerks
shall 10 chosen In ovesy voting precinct on
tho general election day in November, who
slala servo at all elections for State, county,
and township officers during the year follow
ing, aud also oct ~ Board Of Hegistry In
their respective distriets. It IL also provided
that every citizen who votes shall be entitled
To cast three votes for election judges, which
ho may cutuulate or distribute n he sees at,
aud Two votes for clerkx, which be n,ay dis
pose Of in liko manner. Tho three candi..
datos having tho highest number Of yosss
shall be declared elected judges, and tho two
candidates for clerks having the highest
number Of yolss shall DO declared
elected clerks. This is tho FREQ bal
lot. The Pennsylvania kystem IL Whist
IL known as the restricted ballot; in elect
ing three Judges every voter has two votes,
both OF whieh hs may glye ono candidate,
Or QUO TO each Of two candidates, aud In
elecsiug two clerks he has one yoto which
ho may give to either of ths two candidates..

verdict Of tho Coroner's jnry Ia Of no account,
and the long aud patient Investigation might
as we'll have been omitted altogether.

Of the Presidential appointments Of Cabinet
officers ia unprecedented in the history OF
ihe United States. Eyon when tho political
majority Of the senate has been opposed to
tho incoming President, 1t has bean conceded.
that he WAS 80 entitled to choose his own
constitutional advisers that the nominations
hare been confirmed without DELAY. without
question, and without reference or division,
The Senate, In which the Republicans hare
majority, has, upon the motion Of Repub-
Ncans, laid tho nominations on tho table.
and referred them to committees not then
appointed. Nor ia this nil. Several OF the
eminent pastisans who were candidates at
Cincinnati, where Mr. HAYES wns nominated,
have hastoncd to make objections to tho
composition Of tho Cabinet, and to formally
challenge tho Southern policy whicl, they
assume tile President has adopted. 3fr.
BLAINE has conspicuously put himself for
wara to antagonize the President. Tho op-
position he makes Is 10 tho Southern policy,
which, he says, " It IL rumorcd in the lob
bics tlio President hos adopted, and, lest
somo rival may got before him, ho hastens to
donounce that policy.
This exhibition Of temper is perhaps o
little prccipitato. Tho President las not yet
haa tic chance Of advising with his Cabinet,
and can, therefore, hayo had no opportunity
Of adopting policy. His Administration ia
uniformed, because OF tho discourtesy Of the
Senate ring. Nor can tho country bo de-
coived by my loud noise III tho Senate or
elsewhere concerning tho Southern policy.
Tho country is well aware that tho President,
anstaad OF aaktng each OF tho faction lenders
to designate one Of lis friends to take Cab
met Office, has selected his Cabinet without
reference TO lis own or tho prospects Of any
other person for tho succession. Mr. BLAINE,
year ago, mado bold strike for popular
faTor ny deuounctng JErF DAv1s for tho
cruelties at Andersouville. His glory on that
occasion WAS exalted by his GeorRia rival in
debate, and the Same wnve Of excitement
carried both BLAME and Hill into tho
sonato. We think hlr. BLAINE will find it a
somewhat moro 6ificult feat 10 gnin popu-
lar1ty by making war upon tho President Of
tho United States, elected In preference to
himself by tie Republican party, than 1T WAS
to lenounce Andorsonville md JEzr DAVIS.
Tie country, however, will place the
provocation for this unsoc1nly attack upon
tho President tho second day after his inangu-
ration. md for this nnseem1y attempt to do
feat his choice Of Cabinet, precisely slore
1t belongs. Tho war upon tho President,
proclaimed by tho Senate machine ring, ia

bination to control absolutely tho power OF
