Columbia Dispatch; The Ordway
Tribune thinks the people ought to spot
the papers which are trying to defeat
Ordway's re.appointment and forever sit
down on ninety-nine out of every one
hundred papers in the territory, thing
which the people have no desire to do,
since they are nearly unanimously with
the newspapers in the fight against Ord
way. Why does the Tribune persist in
being on the unpopular side and cen.
stantly advocating doctrines which the
people do not approve.
There is some reason. says a Milwaukee
special, for thinking that the reported
resignation of Manager Merrill, of the
st. Paul road, is not so improbable an
event as might be inferred from the way
the officials in Milwaukee treat the mat
ter. It is not likely that Merrill would
send in his resignation while of on Q
vacation, nor is it probable that his res
ignation has already been sent in, but
Merrill is an old man-too old to now re-
cover fully his strength after having been
smitten with paralysis, and it ought not
to surprise any one if he retired from the
managership of the road instead of at.
tempting to resume the duties Of the
position.

Hon ~ GHOStms
Technically speaking, tho President is not

vote directly for any residential candidate.
They cast their ballots for electors, and these
electors choose President aud q Vice-presl
dent. In each State tho number OF electors Is
equal TO the number OF Senators and Repre-
eentbtiyea which the State has In Congress. In
New York there are thirty.six electors. Each
party has an electoral ticket with the names
OF these thitty-six electors printed on IL. The
number OF popular ballots In the State Will be
chosen by the people, and tho electors named
on II VIII BIO entitled to give their votes Tor the
candidate whom they represent,
Tho electors who are chosen VIII meet In
each State on the frat Wednesday In Docem-
Der and cast their votes for President
and Vice President. AS q matter OF law they
are not legally bound TO vote for Cleveland or
Blaine, or any other person who was a candl-
date before tho people. As matter OF usage
ana public trust they are expected TO vote for
tho candidate whom they are pledged to sup
port.
Certificates OF tho votes cast by the electors
In each State are then made out and sent y
Washington. These certificates VIII be opened
In the presence OF the Senate ana House OF
representatives and counted on the second
Wednesday In February. The total number
or electoral votes is i01. The candidate for
President receiving the majority OF these
that Is, 2O1-will DO declared President. II
no person has such majority, then the election
goes Into tho House OF Representatives, which
porsOps-not exceeding three-who have re-
ceived the most electoral votes for President.
In the House the vote is by States, each State
having one vote.

Curious Facts OF Japanese Money

Andrew Murray Hunt, assistant engineer OF
the United States flagship Richmond, who ro-
reporter OF tho indianapolis Jomndi said
"Whon went to Japan two years ago the
paper currency there was at discount Of
PER cent boaan noa A. thst rate
crease in value, and In the course OF two
months had appreciated 80 that II was dis.
counted only four or flve per cent. There was
no apparent cause for this appreciation, and
Europeans and Americans could not under
stand 1t. There had been n plentiful rice
crop, and Il was expected by Foreigners us
we'll rs natives that the price OF rice and other
commodities, which are generally paid for In
paper money, would fall.
"Tho only thing which did foil at all In price
was rice, and that merely to small extent.
Tho Japanese Government closed up all the
shops where silver Is exchanged for paper
money, and In some manner forced the price
OF paper up TO the place 1t held; and, as almost
all foreigners distrusted this rapid advance 10
the value OF rag money, the Japanese arbltra-
rlly maintained all prices In paper currency,
as they were afraid that the paper would 9th.
erwiee depreciate again. No ono seemed to
know exactly how this flnanciering was done
but It seems as II these Yankees OF the Orient
knew something about nat money aud main
tainiDg an equilibrium of values that other
nations have not discovered as yet.
"Silver money in JAPAN" continues Mr..
Hunt, 'does not amount to twenty per cont. OF
the currency. Paper money is very plentiful.
Foreigners charge that Japan has a great deal
more paper currency than the government
will admir-. The unit OF value OF tho Japan.
ese corresponding to our dollar is the 'yon,
which 10 the same value us the Mexican dol
lar. The Mexican dollar Is the dollar OF the
Chinese coast; and the trade dollar, about
which so much talk has been had in
Chinese trade, Is never seen either In China
or Japan. The smallest denomination In
paper money is ten sen; the smallest coin 10
the cash, one-tenth OF cent, and the next
smallest is the tempo, four-nfths OF q 2aae
