THE POPULAR VOTE FOR PRESI-
DENT.

The New York Tribune prints full
table of the popular vote for president,
based upon official returns from every
state except Colorado. A liberal esti-
mate is made of the Colorado vote.
Omitting Colorado, however (and its
vote would not materially alter the re-
sult), the popular vote for the four chief
candidates is as follows:
Cleveland NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. ), 2296, 703
harrison. .........-..- .....-.-.... %, lSo, t99
Fisk Observation-Disclosures. 242, GS4
Streeter... Observation-Disclosures. l42,J6S
With a Republican majority of 1900
in Colorado. still it appears that Cleve-
land ran nearly 100000 votes ahead of
his successful competitor.
Yet Harrison was elected, having re-
ceived a majority of thirty-three of the
electoral votes.
Once before in the history of Ameri-
can politics this phenomenon has APP
peared. In 1876 Tilden received a popu-
lar vote of 4 1884 $50 while Hayes polled
but 4, 033, $50 votes.
The Democrats have no room 20 COM
plain at the result, however, for the
electoral system is Democratic meas
ure, adopted and maintained by that
party, and since it has given eminent
satisfaction to the country so far there is
no disposition elsewhere than in that
party to change it. When the Demo-
Gratis could have changed the system
they would not, and now that they
would they cannot.

The supreme court of Pennsylvania
has just rendered remarkable decision.
1t is to the effect that disagreement Of
the jury in a murder trial is equivalent
to an acquittal, The first time in the
history of murder trials, as we remem-
Der, that this point was ever raised was
in a Kentucky court, and by Henry
Clay. But it was done as piece of bold
bluff by Clay and never seriously consid-
eped by the court. Exactly how the
Pennsylvania constitution on this point
reads does not appear in the news item,
but that it is an entirely new doctrine of
the courts is evidenced by the fact that
very many murderers in that state have
been tried second time and convicted
and hanged.

Impossible to Satisfy the Cranks.
From the Des Moines Register.
The official returns show that the Pro-
hibitionists polled 6,779 votes in Kansas,
a state that has the most rigorous pro-
hibiiion law in the United States. De-
spite the fact that the Republicans have
given the state prohibition and enforced
it to the line of severity, there were
nearly 1000 voters who cast their bal
lots for third party candidate, know
ing that he had no chance of election,
and that the only effect of his candi
dacy would be to hurt the Republican
party. In Iowa, another prohibit
ton state. in which the Repub-
licans have given to Prohibitionists
as good prohibitory law as
there sis in the United States,
there were thirty-five hundred men who
voted for the Prohibition candidate for
president Ignoring entirely the great
sacrifice which the Republicans of Iowa
had made in putting into effect prohlb-
itory law, they deliberately joined in a
movement intended to hurt the party
that had shown itself at great cost to be
the true and devoted friend OF temper
ance. Here are over ten thousand votes
for a Prohibition candidate In the two
foremost prohibition states IN the union.
They show that however faithful party
may be to any great principle, 1t can
never satisfy the cranks, and 1t would
be folly TO try to do so.

GOVERNMENT AND TIE INDIANS

The average American Indian of to-
day is not the chump he is generally
supposed TO be when it comes to matters
of business. Experience gained by
dealing with the whites serves him a
good purpose at times. The course pur-
sued on both sides in regard TO the great
Sioux reservation shows this clearly.

very moderate sum when the immense

and both were declined. The represent
atives of the tribes had scarcely reached
their people, on their return from visit
to the great father in Washington before
they are approached with an offer of
double the amount of the former one.
This offer they will no doubt accept
when they learn that it is the govern
ment's ultimatum, and that the excess of
land above what they are to hold under
the allotmnnt act is to be thrown open
to white settlement whether they agree
to it or not. What we started out to
say was to condemn the policy Of double
dealing with the Indians that has been
pursued by the agents of the govern
ment in almost every instance. Very
much of the trouble the government has
experienced in the management of the
Indians has been the direct result of this
vaScillating policy. If the lands Of the
Sioux reservation are worth the price
put upon them now they were worth 1t
six months ago. If it had been offered,
accompanied by the same terms as are
now proposed, the matter would have
been settled and the lands declared open
for occupancy by the whites by this
time.
