A NICE QUESTION.
Should Ladies' b . Permitted to Take NJ
Church Collections?

Should Ladies b . Permitted to Take NJ
Church Collections?
It seems to me that the idea OF
ladies passing the contribution plate
in our churches is an excellent one. In
some of the Western States it was
done that way years ago, and some
churches out there keep up the prac-
tice. There is nothing out of the way
about it. If ladies' preside at organs
and sing in our choirs why not have
them pass tho plate also? There is
no harm. Us far as can see," said a
regulsrlady attendant of our churches
to me Sunday evening. land there
are good reasons why the ladies would
make frst-class collectors. Men would
be more apt to drop in the plste ten
cents or quarter instead OF
nickel. it only for appear
ance sake. and as an extra
contribution TO- beauty. OF course
the prsttiest ladies in the congregation
must he sele cted for the. work. Then,
again. the ladies would all give some-
thing, for they know that two. eyes
would be- watching them. and for
shame sake, and; for Fear they would
hear Of if they never put any thing
in the plate. an, event very probable.
every enc of them' would give some ot
their pin money. tell you. in all
eandoa lady csllectorsin our churches
with the contributor plates would
raise nearly twice as much "a n,an col.
\ lectoss who nonchslantly pass the
plate. and are indifferent to whether
you give any thing or not. Such an
innovation would not be irreligious.
We havelady solicitors at our church
fairs, and why not lady contribution
collectors in cur churches? Lat one
church take up the idea as an expert
ment and others will speedily follow.
Lady contribution collectors would
speedily raise enough to pay off church
debts" -.@E

ELEcTING a PRESIDENT.

How 1t Is Done According to the Pro-
visions Of tho Constitution.
There are very few men in the
United States who ever voted for Presi-
dent and Vice. President. At the N o.
vember election of 1884. there we're in
the neighborhood of ten million men
who cast ballots. and the majority of
them, it is safe to say. believed they
were voting directly for Blaine or
Cleveland; but they were not. There
were but 40l men in the entire country
who voted for President. and of these
1872 voted for Blaine and PIG for Cleve-
land; and as the latter had mai orr ty
OF 81 votes. he was chosen.
This results from the fact that the
Federal Cons titution does not allow
the President to DO chosen by the peo-
pie. but by the States. Each State has
rs many Presidential votes as it has
Representatives in Congress and Sena-
tors. Ohio has 2l Representatives and
2 Senators (each State has the Same
number of Senators). and hence she
can cast % votes for President.
The voters of each State vote for
Presidential Electors-that is. for men
who will cast the number of votes for
President to which that State is en-
titled under the Constitution. The
term electoral College" is often used
to designate the entire number of
Electors chosen from all the States.
but it is not used in the Constitution,
nor in any United States statute. II
is simply convenient term for des-
'ignating the Electors en- masse.
Each State votes for all the Electors
to which it is entitled on one general
ticket, and not by districts. The Re.
publican convention in each Congress.
sional district in the State of Ohio, for
instance, nominated an Elector for
that district; the State convention
nominated the two ELECTORS al
large" corresponding to the
two United States Senators, as the dis.
trict Electors correspond to the Repre-.
sentatives in Congress. The Demo.
Gratis nominal similar ticket, in
the same way. Next November the
voters OF the State will vote for these
Electors. and the ticket which receives
the majority will be elected and the
Electors thereon will cast their vote:
for the nominee of their own party.
Hence it is plain that President
need not necessarily receive a ma
jority of all the votes in the Nation.
He must receive y majority of the
! electoral votes of the States only.
The vote by States, popular and
electoral, in 1884. for Blaine and
| Gle veland. was as follows:

police service officers and privates are
retired and pensioned. This is but

German policemen for good behavior
