Inc new YORK Evening Post thinks the
recent act Of the Michigan legislature chang
ing the method Of appointing Presidential
electors should call the attention Of Congress
and the people to the need of constitution.
al amendment accurately providing the man.
ner In which electors are to be appointed
The suggestion seems timely. Under the
constitution as 1t exists today the method of
determining the manner in which Presiden-
tial electors shall be selected is entirely with
in the control of the States. The State can
determine that they shall be elected at large,
as at present; by district, as has often been
done In the past; or by the legislature as
was done by South Carolina up to the time
OF the war. A number of other methods
might be suggested which would be legal,
1t is highly desirable that there should be
uniformity In the matter, that the custom of
one State should be the custom of all, and
the only sure way to bring this about is by o
constitutional amendment. AS to the best
method, 1t may be said that the best method
Is the method that will most fairly reflect
the will Of the people. II the congressional
districts tof the States were constructed

probably the selection of Presidential
electors by districts would be as fair
as any method likely to be devised. But 1t
Is well known fact that in great many
States of the Union the districts are so made
as to give one party or the other an advan-
tage that does not fairly belong to 1t. The
majority of the voters of Ohio are Republl.
cans. but the congressional districts have
been so gerrymandered by the Democrats
as to give to the Democrats two-thIrds of the
congressman. The choice of Presidential
electors In that State by districts would
manifestly only extend the injustice already
being done. The appointment of electors by
congressional districts would today result in
many States in great injustice, and under
party manipulation of those districts that
Injustice would tend to increase in the fu-
tnre rather than diminish. OF the three
plans that have been used election at large,
by districts, and by the legislature, the first,
under existing circumstances, is likely to
produce results nearer to exact justice.

The Boston Herald calmly announces


Perhaps the most ndefensible feature of the
mckinley tariff is Its tin plate section, 1t has
been the most unsuccessful in operation, also we
are inclined TO think, though it encounters close
rivalry at several other points In this respect
Inasmuch as the tin plate section of the
Mckinley bill has not been in operation vet.
the Herald shows even more than its wonted
industry In hunting out pretexts for con-
demniDg the Republican party. The Nc.
kinley bill provided that the increased duty
should not 60 into effect until July /, 1891, In
order to give time for preparation for the
manufacture of tin plates In this country.
The law provides also for the admission of
TIN and terne plates of certain size into this
country free Of duty after Oct. /, 1897, unless
IL shall appear that the quantity Of such
plates produced In the United States has
equalled, during either of the six years pre-
ceding, one third the amount Of such plates
imported during any year after the passage
OF the act Of 1890 and prior to October /, 1897.
when the duty OF the Mckinley bill has been
IN effect year or two it will be time for a
Iair criticism. Criticism and condemnation
IN advance amount to about as much as the
condemnation Of Stephenson's locomotive by
the English member of Parliament, who con-
ceiyed that there would be fatal objection
to the machine in the liability Of cows to
get on to the track In front of It, Democratic
talked about the paper tariff just at they are
now talking about the tin plate tariff; but
Republicans persevered and today we have
an immense domestic industry and paper as
cheap as any people have 1t.
