ELECTING A PRESIDENT.
How 1t is Done According to the Provisions
Of the Constitution.

There are very few men in the United
States who ever voted for President and
Vice President. At the November cleo
tlon OF 1854, there were in the neighbor-
hood OF ten million men who cast bal
lots, and the majority of them, it is safe
TO say, believed they were voting directly
Tor Blaine or Cleveland; but they were
not. There were but 401 men in the en-
tire country who voted for President, and
of these 1872 voted for Blaine and 219 for
Cleveland; and as the latter had ma
Jorlty of 81 votes, he was chosen.
This results from the fact that the
Federal Constitution does not allow the
President to be chosen by the people, but
by the States. Each State has as many
Residential votes as it has representa-
tlVes IN congress and senators. Oregon
has l representative and senators leach
state has the same number of senators)
and hence she can cast votes for presi-
dent.
The voters of each state vote for presi-
Dental electors-that is, for men who
will cast the number of votes for Presi-
dent to which that state is entitled 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 con-
stitution, nor in any United States
statute. 1t is simply convenient term
for designating the electors en- mdsSG.
Each state votes for all the electors to
which it is entitled ON one general ticket,
and not by districts. The Republican
convention in each congressional district
In the state of Ohio, for instance, NOM
mated an elector for that district: the
state convention nominated the two
ELECTORS at large" corresponding to the
two United States Senators, as the dis
trict electors correspond to the Repre-
sentatiyes in congress. The Democrats
nominated 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 votes for the nominee of their
own party.
Hence it is plain that a President need
not necessarily receive a majority of all
the votes in the Nation. He must re-
ceive majority of the electoral votes of
the states only.
The vote by states, popular and cleo
toral, in 1894, for Blaine and Cleveland,
was as follows:

BOIL IT DOWN.

Whatever you have to say, my friend,
Whether witty, or grave, or gay,
Condense as much as ever you can,
And say in the readiest way;
And whether you write on rural affairs,
Or particular things in town,
Just a word of friendly advice-boil it
down.
For if you 60 squirting over page,
When a couple of lines would do,
Your butter is spread SO much, You see,
That the bread looks plainly through;
So when you have a story to tell,
And would like Il little renown,
To make quite sure of your wish, nay
friend-boil it down.
When writing an article for the press,
Whether prose or verse, just try
To utter your thoughts in the fewest
words,
and let it be crisp and dry:
And when it is finished, and you suppose
1t is done exactly brown,
Just look it over again, and then-boil it
down.
For editors do not like to print
An article lazily long,
And the general reader does not care
For a couple of yards of song.
So gather your wits in the smallest space,
If you'd win the authors crown,
And every time you write, my friend
boil it down,

THERE is always a balance TO human
conditions, and Dame Fortune never
comes to any one with both hands
full. Here is Robert Garnett, appar-
emily the most favored of men, owning
200 suits of clothes, and hats and
canes without number, with millions
of dollars at his command, and yet
sick unto death with melancholy.
Having all the prosperity earthly for
tune can give him, he sits down and
weeps, and life has no pleasure for
him. And thus the vanity of human
wishes finds new illustration, and the
words of the Preacher, the son of
David, come sharply home: "Yanity
of vanities, all is vanity" Let no
man think he will find happiness in
the mere accumulation of money.
The millionaire princes of the land
give the lie to this daily. 1t is in
the wise uses Of money that happiness
lies. Here is an American in the
nineteenth century weeping because
he has tasked the tailor world to the
utmost and at last finds that world ex-
hausted. With a change of suits for
every day in the. year, he finds con-
tentment in none, and sighs because
the art sartorial can bring him moth
ing new.

IT is impossible to commend the
taste of the publisher of the New
York Nail and EGpreSs in placing
a Bible text at the head of its editor
ial columns each day, even though
his object be the otherwise unobjec-
tionable one of enlarging the circula-
ton of the paper by causing it to be
talked about. Whatever may be this
or that Individual opinion about the
origin and character of the several
books of the Bible a very great major
ity of the people of this country be-
heve it to be work of Divine inspi-
ration, meant for sacred and holy uses.
That part of the majority who hold to
this view firmly will be shocked by
the apparent profanity of the use
made of it by the journal referred to
above; while those less set in or in
fiuenced by their belief about it will
be apt to consider that they have
been putting too high an estimate
upon it when they see its contents
habitually associated with the secular
news and opinion of the day.

WHEN doctors disagree who shall
decide? A bit of enterprise on the
part of the Boston Globe discloses a
remarkable difference of opinion
among the physicians of that city.
A reporter, in perfect health, visited
ten prominent Boston doctors and
stated non-existent symptoms and re-
quested diagnosis. The mans ap-
pearance physically was perfect. But
Notwithstanding this, each doctor
diagnosed the case in a different way,
and each doctor gave the imaginary
invalid a different prescription. The
diagnoses and prescriptions, together
with the interview with each doctor
and statement as to the reporters
elegant health, was published in the
Globe. And now the cultured Bos-
tonians are snickering Cthey don't
laugh in Boston, at the doctors.
