EEuERAL ELECTIONS.

In that part of President Hariison's Message
which relates 10 our election methods, and upon
which we have already commented, there is no
trace of partisan feeling. No one could deter
mine from its statements or it's tone to which
political party the President belongs, except FOR
the fact that he employs as the most obvious
and striking illustration of his meaning the cleo
ton law passed year ago by the Legislature
of Michigan. This impartial and dipaSsionate
treatment of the subject leaves Congress and the
people without excuse if they neglect to take
it up in a similar spirit.
The trainers Of the Constitution in adopting
the provision that Presidential Electors should
be appointed by each State in such manner as its
Legislature might direct purposely allowed large
liberty of choice presumably foreseeing that ex-
perience would teach the best way and that
uniformity would ultimately prevail. If that
was their expectation the result in course of time
justified it. In the early years Of the Govern
ment various methods were employed by the
different States, and even, as the President re-
marks, by the same State. Thus Maryland for
example, having formerly chosen her electors
by direct popular vote, subsequently adopted the
system of district voting, and in 1928 was the
only State which still retained that system. Four
years later South Carolina, whose electors were
appointed by the Legislature, was the only ex-
ception to the rule of choice by the whole people
of each State, and since 1868 that rule has been
universal. The conclusion is unavoidable that
uniformity is, in the opinion of the country,
highly desirable, and popular vote Oh general
ticket the wisest method of choice. 1t may be
admitted that sudden eversals of the general
practice are certain not to be frequent and COM
mon, for the political conditions which can alone
make a change both feasible and advantageous
for either party are peculiar. But such cOndi-
tons nevertheless may come into existence at
any time, and whenever and wherever they exist
they are full of menace. They are perfectly
illustrated by the case of Michigan, where a
Democratic Legislature was Unexpectedly elected
year ago, but where there was not then nor
has been since any reasonable doubt that on
popular vote for President the State would be
Republican in 1892. The Democrats thought
the power to secure sJme Of the electors next
year by means of new Congressional appor-
tionment and statute directing electors to be
chosen by districts too valuable TO be left unused
A convenient gerrymander was accordingly &C
complished, and the partisan object of the Michi-
gan Democrats will probably be achieved.

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

The late Rev. DR.. Hill, the honored president OF
Harvard was once on Il crowded train with number
of emlgrants, and spent his time in making paper
dolls for the cross, tired children of poor cuigraut
woman, who overcome with poverty, trouble ana
the perpexities OF travel. "The Fairfield CNe) Jour

equal to the emergency, and with all his know-

insignificant canker worms Accordingly he made a

dent could be quickly restored by popular vote
the injustice would be temporary and compara-
lively trivial. But unhappily, the gerrymander
is capable of making it permanent and the
temptation TO employ it for that purpose has
often proved irresistible. No respectable citizen
in his right mind and in a calm mood VIII deny
that this device for perpetuatlng partisan
iniquity is dangerous and detestable; and this
general agreement of opinion makes it possible
to hope that President Harrisons patriotic and
urgent plea for the adoption OF constitutional
remedy will be effective. The courts do not
afford an adequate means OF relief from such
misfortune as that which the new Michigan raw
threatens, if indeed they can be invoked at all.
Doubtless the first impression conveyed ny that
clause Of the Cons Itu,i0n which empowers the
Legislature of State to direct how the electors
shall be chosen is favorable to the validity OF
the Michigan statute But closer study OF 1t
at least suggests doubt; and as we remarked
on Wednesday, not few able lawyers believe
the statute to be unconstitutional. 1t happens
that the legality of the proceedings which le-
suited in its enactment is disputed, but we are
not considering that point. The constitutional
ity of the act itself, supposing it to have been
regularly adopted, is to some extent matter OF
controversy. The Constitution provides that
leach State shall appoint electors, and the
question is whether the appointment OF them by
Congressional districts is an appointment by the
State. As the President says, law declaring
that the persons receiving the fewest votes should
be the electors, or that the electors should be
chosen by single district would be obviously
invalid. Otherwise there would be no cOnceiv-
able check on legislative vagaries for il either
of those hypothetical enactments could be put
in force then the Legislature Of State might
authorize an individual citizen to appoint the
elections, and nothing would be left OF the con-
stitutional guarantee OF republican fon., OF
government. Notwithstanding, therefore, tho
weight of precedents, there is force in tho con-
tention that choice of electors by districts is
not a choice by the State. But TO obtain ju-
dicial decision either for or against that con-
tentiOn is not an easy matter. Indeed, it has
been doubted whether it is practically possible
to get the question before the courts.
The only hope of a lasting relief from the
acknowledged evils inherent in existing methods
of election lies in thorough and candid dis
cussion of the subject with view to intrustlng
it finally to an impartial commission with power
to devise and propose remedy. We have al
ready alluded to other defects in our Federal
election system, involving especially the powers
Of the Electoral Colleges, which we shall dis
cuss at greater length hereafter

that there was no use in prolonging the inta-

ecutive presence on flood of tears.
If we believed this story we have little doubt
that we should weep also, but our tears would

A HEARTLESS ISLANDER.

A story, which was designed by its inventor
TO be pathetic and which may possibly draw tears
from eyes accustomed TO weep upon the slight
est provocation, has been disseminated at the
expense of many newspapers in all parts of the
State. IL is to the effect that General Jones
lately sought the presence of Governor Hill and
humbly and contritely begged to be allowed to
occupy the Executive Chair for week a day, an
hour, fragment of time, no matter how brief, if
only it was appreciable. The Lieutenant Gov
ernor represented that the proudest ambition of
his life, the dearest wish of his heart the soace
of his declining years, his consolation in sick
ness and his inspiration ia health had been the
thought of standing in the place of Clinton and
Marcy, of Seward, Tilden and David Bennett
Hill. He had become perfectly and painfully
aware that his only chance of gratifying this
laudabe desire lay at the mercy of the present
incumbenrs compassion, and therefore to him
he appealed, throwing himself upon his mercy
and trusting to his benevolence. TO this heart
