The election of Harrison should not be surprise to any one who has dls- passionately weighed the acts of the Cleveland Administration. Taking his from -Na aa-gT dea,s letter of accsp- tance in regard rs a second term, Mr. Cleveland Tn his letter of acceptance advocated an amendment to the con- stitution disqualifying the President from reelection. This avowal was fAvorably commented on by Demo- cratic and Republican papers as well, believing that Mr. Cleveland was hon. est and desirous of so conducting pubhc affairs that his administration would innure to the pubic geod; but that belief was not dispelled until it was shown that the unwritten law of his party had no binding effect upsn him. It is well remembered that the Democratic platform of 1884 which he accepted as his wade mecum, declared for "honest money, the gold and silver coinage of the constitution; the selec- ton of Federal officers for the Terri r1es should be restricted to citizens previously residents therein; and an honest civil service referm." These promises he ignored, allowing bis in- dividual will to rise superior to the expressed will of his party. Ner are these the only reasons why he should not have been elected to a second term, but they are sufficient without taking into account his forcing upon the party the tariff issue, which has cost 1t Its political prestige.

At tha convention of cattlemen and butchers, to meet at St. Louis on the 20th, the most important subject to be discussed is how to break up the mo- nopely in dressed beef and stimulate competition, and means will doubtless be devlsed which will bear practical application. Tie continued demoral- ization of the cattle market makes 1t necessary that prompt and vigorous action be taken to wrest, if possible, the control of the beef market from the grip of the ring winch has for several years deprived producers of their rightful profits.
 Another question to be considered, and of vital interest to the entire Southwest, is the making of a deep water harbor on the coast of Texas.
 The attendance at the convention, it Is estimated, will be 10000, and much Is expected of It.

General Benjamin Harrison will re- csive the electoral votes of twenty States or 233 votes, and Grover Clevs- land, oi seventeen States, or 168 votes with West Vlrginia's votes doubt ful. Thus it will be seen that Harri- sons electoral vete> will be larger than that of any President elected since 1852, except Grant in 1872, who re- celved 206 as against Greeley's AZ votes. In 1852 Franklin Pierce re- ceived 254 electoral votes and his op- ponent. Winfield Scott. A. A singu- lar coincidence is that William H. Harrison, in 1840, received 234 cleo teral votes, one more than his grand son is likely to get.

THE ELECTORAL sVsTEH SHOULD BE
 AReLIsBED.

The United States has just gone through the trying ordeal of Presi- dential election by the electoral sys- tenn, which enables few men to gov ern the many, and, in time, it wlll transfer the whole power of elections into the hands ot few, leaving to the people the humble occupation of con- frmlng what has been done by the superlOr authority of these interme- diate electors. They are the peculiar and favorite institutions of aristecratic republics and elective monarchies. The Presidential electors originally were mainly chosen by the State leg lslatures during the time immediately following the adoption of the consti tuition. That instrument did not de- eide how they should be chosen, but left it to the discretion ct the State gov ernments. In some States conventions chose them, and the practice was va rious; but afterS time 1t proved to be mere satisfactory to refer the choice directly to the people.
 Thomas H. Benton, in 1924, address sing the U. s. Senate in relation to the election of President and Vice President, said, "The evil Tn the want of uniformity in the cholce of Presi- dental electors is not limited to its disfguring effect upon the face of our government, but goes to endanger the rights of the people" Speaking of the Roman republic he said: "Then the right of suffrage was enjoyed, the sovereignty of the people was no fc- tion. Then a sublime spectacle was seen, when the Roman citizen ad- vanced to the polls and proclaimed: I vote for Cato to be Consult" And why not an American citizen the same? Why may not he go up to the polls and proclaim, Il vote for Them- as Jefferson to be President of the United States" Why is he compelled to pat his vote in the hands of anoth- CT, and to incur all the hazard of an irresponsible agency, when he himself ceuld immediately give .hls own vote for his own chosen candidate, without the slightest assistance from interme- diate electors.
 Under the present system question of only local interest Tn one of the close States may decide the Presiden- tial election. Our present informa- tion from the election in the East is meagre, but New York State IS given to Harrison by 12O0O. Who knows but that the mayoralty contest in New York City, which engendered the nest bitter feeling, is one cause sf Cleve- f-.

N.ettioh of 1876, furnishes a conspicuous example of how, under the electoral system. a Presidential candidate may receive large popular majority and yet fail to receive the requisite number of electoral votes. That election is memorable by reason of the appointment of an Electoral Commission, composed of fifteen mem bers, which decided by strict party vOte-8 to 7-to seat Rutherford B. Hayes over Samuel J. nlden. Yet Hayes popular vote was only 4,O33,- $50, while that for Tilden was 4,284,- S85, majority of 250,935!
 One method to obviate such con- tingsncy would be to hold National elections on different day from State and municipal elections, so that voters could cast their ballots free from any influence other than might arise from purely National issues. But by far the best change would be to do away with the custom of choosing Presi- dent by the electoral votes of the various States, fer this change would banish pivotal States from political calculation and give to the vote of every citizen the same weight in de- termlning the result

A DISCOVERY IN SUGAR.MAKING.

~..1Much excitement says one of our

ed successful use of a new S~ugar'making

cutie. A~bnOrmally high figures have been
given for the increase but after making
every allowance for unintemtiOnal eXagge-
ration, aud want Oftrue experimental CON
ditiOnS, it would appear that advantage
really acCrues from its use. AS no CIemI-
cal action would be likely to occur, this
advantage probably lies III the ability to
concentrate the massecuite further than
under ordinary conditions, the lubricatinG
influence of the oil facilitating the striking
eff the pan, and preventing too tumultuouS
boiling at the finish. Nothing is heard OF
its use in the making Of yellow sugar, and
experience will have to show how far the
colour taste will nave to show how far The
colour, taste and smell Of the sugar would
be influenced by it. 1t may be mentioned
that it is al old custom with European
panbOilers to put grease into the pan when
the syrup gives trouble in boiling,
Having heard that the new process was
in use on LeOnOrG, we obtained from Mr..
Russell confirmation OF the report that the
oil had @ wonderfully beneficial rrNult upon
the maSsecuile, the returns in drv sugar
having risen from all average of about ~
per cent. to between Is and 70 Mr..
Russell says that he remembers in long
past days, using gre lSe in the old Glad
stone pan when he was a junior on the
Berbicr estate, and that the advantage
was noticeable, but nothinL like TO the
extent the oil now is, in the modern vacu-
I'M paE,. The oil is Il thoroughly innOCu0u$,

sugar made with it contains not a trace OF

that the new process is bound to come luto
