TROUBLE WITH ITALIANS.
Directing to a Ten Per Cent. De-
duction of Wages,

CRESTED BUTTE. Dec. 15.-There is no
change in the mining strike situation
here. The strikers still threaten to
make trouble if any new men
are sent TO supplant them. The
wounded miners are recovering. The
Italian CONSUL here exhorts the miners
TO cease resistance and trust TO the justice
of Americans. Manager Steck says the
company will not abate the demand for
10 per cent reduction.

France.

PARIS, Dec. 15.-The political circle
here is very much excited over the expul-

from Bulgaria. When France demanded
an apology il was refused. The people
consider it very strange that this should
occur so soon after the Pamir frontier in
cident which is still causing talk.

ing is subject upon which comparatively
few people .are we'll informed. Probably
a small proportion of business men who are
using banks continually have ever examined
the subject further than to enable themselves
to transact their own special business cor
rectly; while to those who do not have much
business with banks, banking is. In its his
tory. its theory and its practical workings a
great mystery. There are hundreds of men
and women who would be glad to understand
something about the general functions of
banks and their methods of doing business IL
it was possible to get the information in a
compact and readily accessible form. Pro-
fessor Dunbar, of Harvard, has realized the
wishes of these people. and has supplied a
very comprehensive little book which deals
with the subject In very entertaining and
instructive way. He devotes chapters to the
various departments of banking. such as dis
count, deposit, issue. the check system, bank
ing operations and accounts, reserve, etc.
Then he gives brief accounts of the great
banks of the worlds. the United States, the
bank of England. the bank of France. the
Reichbank Of Germany and the bank of Am
sterdam. He prefaces the whole work with
succinct review Of the development of

ish and improper bill providing for the elec-
ton of presidential electors by congressional
districts instead of by popular vote on a
general State ticket. The constitution of
the United States provides that "each State
shall appoint, in such manner as the legisla-
ture thereof may direct, number Of electors
equal to the whole number of Senators and
Representatives to which the State may be
entitled in the Congress-" Under this clause
right to change the method of choosing cleo
tors in any way which it pleased. The OBJ
lection to the change which has been made
consists not so much In the plan adopted as
in the breaking of the uniformity of the
present plan In the country. Every State
now chooses its electors on a general State
ticket. Perhaps it would be better If all the
States should elect in the congressional
districts. But whatever way 1t Is done
should be uniform in all the States. A
change by part Of the States is only return
ing to the confusion that vexed American
politics prior to the election Of 1910. For 1t
is not new idea, butt very old one that
the Michigan legislature is following.
Previous to 1910 the States chose their
electors in various ways. one Of the favorite
methods being to have the legislature elect
the electors. So it happened that in the
time OF Jefferson and Adams the presidential
elections In some states were fought out in
the choice of the Legislatures. There were
sometlmes disagreements between the House
ana senate OF a legislature about the form of
voting, whether by joint ballot or separately,
Win the power Of one house to neutralize
the act Oh the other. In the very first nresi-
Dental election such conflict occurred ba.
tween the House and Senate in New Hamp-
shire, the House finally yielding that the
vote of the state might not be lost, In New
York at the same time the vote of the state
was lost by exactly the same situation
Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia were
the only states in this election that had 8
popular vote for electors In Massachusetts
the people in each congressional distric
nominated two electors by their votes, anc
then the legislature chose from these nomi

and the two at large. In the second election

The Louisiana Lottery Company has I'M
doubtedly won an important victory in get
ting from the Supreme court Of that State
a decision that the question of the renewal
of its charter must be submitted to the
people, for whatever may be the fact as re-
CARDS the sentiment of the best part Of the
people, there can be little doubt that the
majority of the voters are In favor of the re-
newal Of the charter, and will SO vote when
the time comes. The company holds out a
huge bride in the shape Of promise, if they
are allowed to continue business, to support
the public schools, and keep 1.-THE levees in
In repair, and that this bride will have great
influence is certain. The company has also
appealed to the Supreme court Of the United
States.to declare null and void on the ground
Of uneonstitutionality the law passed by the
last Congress excluding their circulars from
the mail. If they should win this also the
country would be practically at their mercy,
and the swindling concern would flourish as
it never did before. Luckily, however, there
is good reason for believing that the court
will sustain the law, so that Louisiana will
not be able to levy upon the whole country
for the support of her schools and levees as
she hopes TO be permitted to do.
