Strange InconsIst ency.

That able Mugwump newspaper, the Prov
idence Journal, speaking of the report Of the
New Orleans grand jury, says. 1T is true
that as civilized nation the United States
is Bound to give redress in cases Of violence
inflicted by its citizens upon those of for
eign country, and that 1t is a serious defect
In our system that it has no authority to pro-
coed by forms Of law, and only by special
action OF Congress-" "This weakness" it
adds, in the laws should be remedied be-
fore there is more serious difficulty, which
may arise at any time" We are inclined
to subscribe fully to this doctrine. The
United States government should have the
power to protect the citizens of foreign
States sojourning in this country. If such
citizens are i'll treated 1t should have the
power of prosecuting the authors Of such ill.,
treatment AT this point the Providence
journal would undoubtedly stop. The
PRESS. however, would 90 further, and con-
tend that the national government should be
granted the power to protect, not only citi-
zens Of foreign States, but its own citizens
as WELL 1t is instructive to observe how
ready our Mugwump contemporaries are to
condemn the New Orleans grand jury for not
making presentment against the men who
killed two or three Sicillan cut Threats, who
were here In defiance Of our laws and who
had escaped a penalty which they justly de-

The city liquor agency is supposed to sell
liquor chiefly for medicinal purposes. 1t is
the only place in the city where liquor can
be legally obtained for that or any other
legitimate purpose. That being the case 1t
should be kept open In the evening as we'll
as In the day time. Liquors are frequently
absolutely necessary in emergencies, and
emergencies are as likely to arise In the
evening as In the day time. Six hours day
is not long enough to keep the agency open
for the sale Of liquor for legitimate purposes.
For the sale of liquor for improper purposes
tits Of course altogether too long. If the
city council would order the agency kept
open the hours that the majority of apothe-
cary stores are kept open. and prohibit the
sale of spirits-with the exception Of those
that are used in the arts-except
upon the prescription Of reputable physi-
clan, they would advance the cause Of tenn
perance much better than by restricting the
time Of selling to six hours day and allow
ing Its sale to any citizen who is willing
to avow that he intends to use it for legiti-
mate purposes.

The secret Of the Democratic performance
In Michigan in changing the method of the
appointment of Presidential electors, is dis
closed by an examination Of the probabili-
ties in regard to the next Presidential cleo
tion estimated on the basis Of the system of
choosing Presidential electors which now
prevails. The whole number of electors in
1892 will be 444 of which 223 constitutes a
majority. States which are usually counted
as Republican including Michigan will cast
2iS Of these. States usually Democratic will
throw 1853. leaving 60 electoral votes doubt
full. OF these New York casts Sc, Indiana Is,
West Virginia six and Connecticut six? 1t
will be seen that giving the Republicans the
total electoral votes Of the states usually
reckoned as Republican, including Michigan,
they will need only West Virginia, or Con-
necticut to give them majority of the whole
number and therefore the election. They
can get along without New York or Indiana.
But the loss of two votes In Michigan will
make 1t necessary for them to carry West
Virginia and Connecticut or New York or
Indiana. If they should lose seven ivotes in
Michigan which is the number he.Democrats
expect to deprive them of by adopting the
district system the vote of New York or In
diana would be indispensable.

The Republicans Of Michigan are disposed
to test in the courts the constitutionality Of
the Law passed by the legislature of that
state providing for the election of Presi-
Dental electors by districts instead Of at
large. The chances are however that they
will be defeated. There is not much doubt
that the law is constitutional and within the
power of the State. The great argument
against 1t is that it breaks the uniformity of
the existing system and is trick to give the
Democrats an undue advantage. There is,
however. probably no way to defeat 1t, no
more than there is to defeat dishonest
gerrymander. In the long run. however,
such tricks come home to plague their in
