ton in Rhode Island shows the wisdom
of Gov Hill of New York in vetOing the |
bill for new system Of voting in that
State; of Senator German, in opposing
that system in Maryland, and of Senator
Barbour, in saying that he sees no OBJ
lection to the old system, which gives
the Democrats forty thousand majority

proves as disastrous to the Democrats
elsewhere as it has been in Massachu-
sets and Rhode Island they should give
it wide BERTH"

The able'bodicd Democracy Of Brooke
county, with some assistance from the
Register, seems to be badly broken up
over the decision Of the Circuit Court in
the Meyer-Ralston Assessor case. The
decision OF the court in this case was
based on the unquestioncd authority
and established preccdents Of a Demo.
cratic Supreme Court OF Appeals.
There are two ways to get relief from
m unsatisfactory decision; one is to 60
down to tho tavern, take drink and
abuse tho court; the other way is to
take m appeal. The authority relied on
to decide tho Brooke county case decided
the contest cases Of LOOMS vs.. Jackson
and Lewis We. Harrison, approved by
every Democratic Court Of Appeals for
the past sixteen years. r9

The Ohio Electoral Scheme.

An Ohio correspondent desires tc
know whether tho Constitution OF the
United States will permit the Legisla.
turo OF Ohio to provide for electinp
Presidential electors by Congressional
districts. Tho Constitution, Article II,
Section I, provides that Each State
shall appoint, in such manner as the Leg
islature thereof may direct, a number Of
electors equal to the whole number Of
Senators and Representatives to which
tho State may DO entitled in the Con.
gress."
In the light Of this plain provision
the competency OF the Legislature tc
deal absolutely with the matter is moi
open to question. The proposed manner
of appointing electors is in opposition
to custom and the present uniform prac
tice Of the States, but custom and uni
form practice cannot repeal a provision
OF the Constitution OF the United States
The Democrats Of Ohio do not propose
this thing in earnest.

Tho Main Street Bridge Ordinance

The bridge ordinance us agreed upon
by Council submits to the people
whether they will have stone bridge
or steel bridge, and whether they will
ratify a proposed loan Of 100000 for
constructing the bridge.
Those who want u stone bridge and q
loan will have no trouble to express
their preference. Those who desire q
steel bridge are divided, some OF them
desiring a loan, others perferring to have
the cost OF construction drawn from cur.
rent revenues without increase OF the
city's Indebtedness and interest account.
10 strike out the word "stone" will be
to vote in favor Of q steel bridge and a
loan. TO strike out the words "stone''
md Ratification" will be to vote for a
steel bridge withouta loan. The defeat
OF the loan ordinance in this way would
DO to say to Council that the people
want Il steel bridge built without loan.

NIr. seelol,s Explanation.

Nj. Oscar seelcy's explanation Of the
Gas Boards account against him leaves
very much 10 DO desired. The burden
OF bis explanation Is in fact n complaint
that he has not been treated well in tho
matter. @0is
Tho truth is, that on his own showing
he has been treated with lenient con.
slderation decidedly opposed to good
public policy. Ile was permitted to
draw from public department supplies
for his business on IN open account
running from March 20, 1886, to October
10, 1887, covering a period Of nineteen
months. .n., F'Hi5 ny .nl'' ,gI
It's quite improbable that any other
plumber In Wheeling was able 10 ''bor.
row" supplies from the Gas Works to
tho same amount and Tor the same
length OF time. Neither does II appear
that my other plumber has ever owed
the Gas Board $74l0l at ono time for
borrowed material, or that tho Gas
Board has now or ever had a bill two
years and a half old against any othe,
plumber than Mr.. Seeley. VA
All this seems 10 have been possible
in Mr.. seeley's case because he was at
the timo OF the borrowing tho President
OF tho Gas Board and Mr.. Darrah, Super.
intendent OF the Gas Works, held biz
place by Mr.. sceley's favor. Since the
account has been brought to Mr.. seeley'f
attention no has been looking over bis
books, and he complains that lie has moi
been allowed timo enough to complete
bis investigation. ig0'q-
The borrowing seems TO have ended
October 10, 1887, two years and hal
ago. Has he not had sufficient time t
investigate without having tho matte
brought to his attention by the presen
Gas Board2 And if that body hat
never brought the matter to his atten
ton, when would he have thought i
necessary to begin and to conclude hi
investigation WE ,.fl
The people expect this account close'
with the money and without furthe
delay; and they expect the borrowing
of tho city's material, whether the sam
has been much or little the custom, T.
be stopped short. The distinction be
tween public property and priyat
property must DO sharply drawn. ~ r.

THE FARMER AND THE TARIFF.

What Protection Does for the Agricultural
Intercst-Wlut Free Trnde Would Do. 2
Netu York Iress. 30 - rs
Suppose there were no protective tar.
its, and that industries which pay
double the British wages because duties
enable them to do 80 were to shut up, or
hire their labor cheaper. A great many
men would 60 to farming. The farmer
would have that many more competitors
and like falling Off in the number OF
his customers, the ultimate consumers OF
his products. Is not a man protected
by an institution that keeps him from
losing customers, or consumers OF what
he produces, even surprising they do not
become his competitors when they cease
to be his customers? And is not man
doubly protected when, in addition to
this, the tariff prevents industrial pro-
ducers from entering into competition
with him? A0t6g 5.s.s
If there are two men at crossroads
and one is a farmer, the other is his
customer. II there are three men, and
one is farmer, he has two customers.
If there are four men, the farmer will
have three customers, and he will have
all customers and no competitors if the
other men all follow different pursuits
from his. All Of them have to eat, and
if industry is diversified 80 that they
don't raise their own food, they will buy
their food Of him. Now this is lust
what the tariff does; it diversifes in
dustries; it gives them plenty of chance
to go into other occupations. And the
more industries arc diversified the
greater the variety OF CROPS that the
farmer can raise; the more easily he can
get out OF the more common kinds OF
agricultural production, in which there
Is plenty OF competition, into the pro-
auction OF things that are raw materials
for industries; the more he can rotate
crops and benefit his soil by it; the
more he can raise sheep and cattle for
the meat and the wool and the hides he
can sell tho more he can raise horses to
sell to town people for hauling manu-
featured goods. ~ lt5, : giryes
And he gets what he. buys cheaper.
II he has kept his old bills Of thirty years
ago no can SEQ that he gets everything
made Of wool, cotton, iron or steel, china
or glass, cheaper than he got it under a
low tariff. He gets it cheaper than he
would get it if We had low tariff. now.
Canada buys more farming implements
from I'd than from Great Britain, with
the same tariff on tho products OF both
countries and the same discounts for
export by both countries. sn

But tho country has never before seen
the equal Of tho job turned out by the

new and unsupported possibilities in
the art Of juggling territory for partisan
purposes. Having gone this far, 1t is
