NEW NODE OF CHOOSING ELEC.
TOES

The bill providing for the election Of
Presidential electors by Congressional
districts, with two delegates at large,
one from the eastern and the other from
the western section Of the State, has
passed both chambers Of the Legislature
of Michigan, and may be accepted hence
forth as the controlling law in the case.
In this connection it is worth noting that
the Congressional superintendent bill now
pending and almost sure to pass, IS cal
culated TO give the Democrats seven out
Of the twelve districts. The effect OF
these bills upon the Electoral College OF
1892 will be so marked as to justify the
interested attention OF the whole country.
For many years after the establishment
of the Government it was the general
practice Of the State Legislatures TO APP
point all the electors 10 which the State
was entitled. The deviations from the
method which by and by came into vogue
tended generally in the direction of q
choice by popular vote. Maryland, Nr.
ginis, aud North Carolina for some time
chose electors BY . direct vote of the peo-
pie in the several Congressional districts
without any interposition Of the Legisla-
sure, and by 1924 only six OF the twenty.
four States, then composing the Union.
adhered 10 the method Of election by the
Legislature.
The present practice makes the election
OF . President turn more upon the sction
OF the States than Of the people. More or
less complain. has all along been made
against q system which gives to one can
didate all the electoral votes Of the State,
even il he has carried it only by a slight
popular majority. The Michigan plan
will secure to the people Of the respective
districts their due influence in the choos.
ing Of the next President. II is really .
recurrence to the practice which pre-
vailed in q number OF the States during
the first quarter of q century OF consti-
t~utional Government, and, if it should
become general, it would have the effect
of making doubtful several Of the States
now accounted certain, and would effect
q great change in the whole scheme OF
Presidential representation.

THE REPUBLICAN SITUATION.

Whether or not Mr.. Blaine desires TO
be a candidate in 1892, says the New
York World, the political situation is
such. that he is wise in not entering upon
q contest-for the nomination. The Re
publican candidate will probably be
named by the politicians; in other words
by q machine. There is no popular de-
mand that any particular individual shall
be nominated. Indeed, there is at pres
emit very little interest in the coming Re-
publican Convention. The people have
very little to expect from Republican
success, and are therefore not rising up
to insist that this or that man shall be
selected.
The politicians will be left to their own
devices so far as the Republicans are
concerned. and the best machine will
win, unless the situation materially chan
ges within the coming twelve months.
The Fall elections will doubtless resolve
that problem.
Mr.. Harrison has at his command de-
cidedly the most perfect Republican ma
chine Of the time, and no one can beat
him for the nomination unless the rank
and file of the party revolt against the
politicians. But, as we have already
said, there is IS yet no reason to expect
such a revolt.

The Salt Lake Tnbune Of latest date
received here, has the statement that Mr..
Bacon has raised the money 10 build the
Deep Creek railroad. and that the grad
ing for 900 miles Of it has been con-
sracsed for with . Pittsburg railroad
builder. Mr.. Bacon himself had not re-
turned from the East, and the Tribune
was not absolutely certain that the news
Of his success was correct. All eastern
Nevada will hope that he has succeeded.
The building Of a direct road to Salt Lake
through the mineral heart Of Nevada is
n Of the most important things that
could befall this country. Ii would open
up new opportunities in all directions,
and give the mining industry Of this
section such an impetus IS it has never
enjoyed before. Two hundred miles Of
road west Of Salt Lake would bring the
terminus to a point somewhere near
Cherry Creek, or within 90 or 100 miles
Of Eureka. II it gets that far j. will be
pretty apt to 90 farther.

Emperor William has caused the work
entitled "The Founding of the German
Empire" to be taken out OF the hands Of
the present compiler and given to an
enemy of Bismarck for completion, in
order that the part played by the Iron
Chancellor during that period may be as
lightly treated as possible. This attempt
to rob Bismarck of the credit due him for
the accomplishment Of German unity
will fail Of success. The whole world is
too well acquainted with the part he
played in that work for q failure to give
him due credit, in any book, to rob him
of his laurels.

Gold Discovery.

which he had taken from a ledge near

with gold. Samples came in for tools,
and immediately returned to commence

Washington dispatch saws:

A Washington dispatch says: The
question of the United States to take the
Itata on the high seas is not altogether
settled. The State Department people
are inclined to doubt the right. The
whole question arises from a dispute as
to the character of the vessel. Were she
a pirate or a vessel Of American register
engaged in the acts Of violation Of the
treaty stipulations. the case would be q
simple one, but she is merely a Chilean
vessel engaged in the transportation Of
a suspected cargo. In the matter Of in.

as though the State Department is not
in accord with the rest of the Admins.

A report comes from Hamilton, and
seems well founded, that the mining com
pAnies Of that plAcs will in . short time
commence hauling ore from there 70 Elko,
10 be shipped 10 Salt Lake, 10 place oil
hsuling ID to Eureka. There Is . large
quantity Of ore in Hamilton that will pay
TO ship 10 Salt LAke.-Elko Independent.
The miners Of White Pine have been
figuring on the proposition contained in
the above paragraph, but nothing def
mite has yet been done. They do not
object to the rates of transportation to
Salt Lake via EarekA. but complain that
they cannot set similar rates TO San
Francisco. Il seems that their ores bring
a little better price At the Selby works
in San Francisco than in Salt Lake. The
E. & p. Railroad charges s. 25 per ton if
the ores 90 to Salt Lake. and s. per ton
when they 60 20 the Bay. This state Of
Affairs Is next "a unavoidable. When
the arrangement was made over a yea
ago 10 establish q lower rate from here
to Salt Lake, three railroads had TO be
consulted and satisfied: namely. the E.
& p. the c. P. and the D. & K. G.. In
consideration Of concessions all around,
j. was stipulated that ell ores shipped
under the new rate must 60 over all Of
the roads. The Central Pacific might
not object. but msnifes.ly any ores di-
verted TO San Francisco would miss the
D. & r. c., and therefore constitute =
breach Of the original compact under
which Eureka obtained . living rate to
Salt Lake. So long IS the present con-
tract stands il is not within the power Of
the +. & P. railroad to make an excep-
ton in favor Of White Pine ores. An
explanation Of the real situation seems to
be demanded to correct an impression
that White Pine is being Disseminated
against. and the foregoing is a fair and
jast statement OF the case. Eureka and
all other points, as well as White Pine,
pay the old rates on all ores ship
ped west from Palisade. 1t was the only
way by which a reasonable rate could be
to our best msrket-Salt Lake.

them. His father winked the other
eye when he came to the passage in the
letter in which the writer asserted with
an oyer-degree of protestation that he
took no part in the revelry himself. 1t

Tor himself, he was studying hard,
and was making wonderful prog
ress IN the acquisition Of knowl-

tlcular. The mother had her own views
about the matter, too, and SO she packed
her trunk and took the next train for
Boston, and there she has remained, as
slstlng her son in his studies, and, being
an uncommonly cultivated woman, she
IS not only his intellectual mentor, but
she exerts a restraining influence on
him when the opera singers are around.
The mother is not only handsome
woman, but exceedingly youthful in ap-
pearance, while the son is rather sedate
OF aspect, and it was some time before
he could convince his fellow students
that she was his mother.
