The Leaders Oplnichs of il.

WASHINGTON, ID. C, November 80
There can be no doubt that there is a
growing dissatisfaction among public
men of both parties with the present
method of electing the President and
Vice President. As yet it seems to be
confined to the highest class of public
men.
The propositions for a change which
have been offered in former Congresses,
and will doubtless be brought forward in
the Fifty second Congress, emanate from
theorists The most prominent PROPOSE
ton, which will probably be renewed at
the next session, provides for adding an
amendment to the Constitution making
the President and the Vice President TO
be voted for directly by the people with
out the interposition of electors. The
great argument for it, apart from its
simplicity, is the claim that it will pre-
vent corruption and dickering. But the
fact that this requires an amendment to
the Constitution makes 1t improbable
that it will be enacted. And the same
thing is true of all the other propositions
made to Congress on this subject, for
they all require the amendment of the
Constitution, and this cannot be had.
III OlSCuScAOii Vi tiic
matter among public men, all argument
proceeds on what the States ought to do
under the power given them IN the first
section OF the second article of the Con-
stitution to '.apoint in such manner as
the Legislature thereof may direct, " the
electors who shall proceed, under the
twelfth amendment, to vote for Presl-
dent and Vice President.
Unfortunately this has become a par
tisan question since Michigan gave a
new word to political slang by ''Mlichi-
ganizing'' her electoral vote
So high a man as eX-PoStmaster Gen
eral Don Dickinson approves, and so
high a man as Senator Mcmillan con-
demns, the plan of electing electors by
districts \ distinguished Western Re
publican said: Il think, and so do many
other Republicans, that the Michigan
plan Is an improvement, even If 1t does
hurt us In Michigan. l would like 10
see ii tried in New York and elsewhere.
/ think it is the better plan, but / can
not propose such a law
This is Illustrative OF the position of
the average public man at the present
time. 1t is noteworthy that few OF
either party favor any attempt to return
to the practice of electing electors by
Legislatures.
1t is felt that the party which thus
seeks TO get away from the people would
pay dearly for temporary success.

DENvER, Dec. Tom Mccoy, Frank

Will Perry and Jim Curtis, the gang
that held up the Rio Grande express
train near Texas Creek two months ago,
never stood "A better chance of going to
the penitentiary for life than they do to-
night The men were captured one at
time and We're "dead game, refusing
TO give up a single word of information,
although put to torture in the sweat-boX

one taken. was brought in he weakened
and told the officers everything, going
into details about the robbery, and how
the gang, being hard pressed by the Uni
ted States marshals, had planted the
booty at the head Of Brush creek. The
money and plumber were found by the
officers just where Perry told them and
are worth So, 600.

THE latest returns received by the de-
partment of agriculture from county
agents show the yield of potatoes per
acre this year will be the largest for
period of ten years. For the entire
country the yield viii average ninety
four bushel to each acre devoted to the
cultivation of this vegetable, and in
some of the States the average will be
100 bushels to the acre. Exceptional
yields of 120 to 125 bushels are reported
in few of the states, and some phenome-
nal return of acreage in July showed an
increase over last years breadth, and in
connection with the present return Of
yield, would indicate crop of nearly
100, 600, 900 bushels, the largest ever
grown in this country.

rmo hundred aua ,eseary Lives Lost.

SAN FRANCI~Co, November 30.-A pri-
vate dispatch from Alanzanillo, Mex,
gives pretty good proof that the bIg Ia
hiti and the go Gilbert Islanders on
board, who were under contract OF the
coffee plantations of San Benito, Mex,
have been lost at sea. The brig touched
at brakes bay, near San Francisco, in
September last, and though the island
ers were seen to he virtually slaves, no
attention was taken TO stop the traffic.
The American steamer Roseville ar
rived at Manzanillo on Friday from
Islapa and her captain reported that the
RoSeville passed the wreck of the Tahiti
ii eleven miles southwest of Lizard
Point. She was floating bottom up,
with rudder gone and ballast shifted.
The steamer stopped and sent a boat
off TO examine the wreck, but not liv-
ing thing was found, and the position of
the brig prevented any search of her in
terror. The briggs yawl was still by her,
but two small boats were gone. This
gives little hope that any lives were
saved.

The selection of Mr.. Hcydrick, Of We

Record, 10 TIL the vacancy on the bench
OF the Supreme Court occasioned by the
death Of Judge Clark was doubtless in

secure representation in the court of

distribution OF population and the claims
of locality. These, to our mind, are
considerations of inferior moment meas

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Nov. 20. - The
grand jury, now in session, seems bent on
Investigating the dueling affair. Subpenas
have been issued to number supposed to
know something OF it. Rumor seems to
know more about it than those directly
interested. These gentlemen have kept re-
hgiously silent. 1t is regretted by friends
of both parties, that an affair of so serious
a character should disturb the serenity of
Jacksonville's journalistic atmosphere. The
grand jury would certainly find it difficult
to establish the fact that a challenge was
passed and accepted.
LOUISE STEPHENS SENT TO JAIL.
Miss Louise Stephens, who shot at MIR.
Lighbody in the criminal court a day OF
two ago, was tried this morning on a charge
of contempt of court and sentenced to sixty
days in the county Jail. The verdict of the
outside public IS that the woman was either
insane or was justified In the assault.
