Electing President by Popular Voc
In our last issue we said that the Michi-
gan cases. new and old, would probably
cause renewed agitation OF the PROPOSE
tion 10 elect the President of the United
States by the popular vote, and tend TO
make the people dissatisfied with the bar
rier which the Federal Constitution inter
noses between them and the candidates for
that offce-to wit, the electors. There are
two distinct propositions before the couh-
try. The one is that the people shall vote
directly for President, and the candidate
receiving ia all the States together the
highest number of votes for President OF
the United States shall be declared elected.
The other is that the people shall vote d.
recty for President, but that each State,
small or large, shall continue to be entitled
to the additional strength to which 1t 10
now entitled on account of its two United
States senator's.
MIR. SPRINGER. Of Illinois. proposes that
the voter shall cast his ballot with the
names of the candidates for President and
Vice Pre- sident upon it. and that the State
dietary shall constitute n board TO canvass
the returns of the election officers OF the
several cities, towns. and counties. The
popular vote to decide the election.
Ii requires the affirmative votes OK
three fourths of the State legislature OF
oil the States to ratify a proposed amend
ment TO the Constitution of the United
States. 1t may be set down as certain.
therefore, that no proposed amendment
will be ratified which is Objectionable TO
the smaller States. There are forty-four
States. II will, therefore, require the
affirmative votes of thirty-three State
legislatures to ratify any amendment.
Twelve States can vote down any PROPOSE
ton. 1t would be unreasonable, there
fore, to expect the proposition OF
Mr.. SPRINGER to be ratified. Vermont,
New Hampshire, Delaware. Nevada, Wyo-
ming, North Dakota. South Dakota,
Washington. Colorado, Florida, Idaho. and
Montana are States enough to defeat any
amendment Objectionable to them.
II is not certain that the present plan of
electing the President can be improved
upon. 1t is practically mode of electing
by the popular vote. The people vote for
the man of their choice when they vote for
electors who will cast their ballots for that
man. These electors constitute a con-
tinual reminder that this Union Is an in
dissoluble Union of indestructible States
not a central despotlsm or Great Iron
Wheel" crushing under its operation all
the independence of the people and the
autonomy Of the States.
We conclude, therefore, that no amend
ment will be ratified which proposes that
the several States shall surrender the
strength which they possess as sovereign
States. This and the mode of electing
United States senators constitute about
the only semblance Of the sovereignty
which the fathers intended should reside
in the several States. Unless we shall
have before us the certainty of securing
something better let US cling to these two
features.

Christmas and the New Year.

Christmas in Virginia this year was old
| fashioned as far as weather could make 1t
SO. SUNDAY and Monday, the one the re-
ligous Christmas, the other the public
holiday. were cold days. The weather
was at the freezing point all Of the time,
/ and ice formed on shallow ponds and lakes
In sufficient thickness to encourage
skaters TO try their skill thereon.
| According TO tradition, which is. how
ever, greatly III conflict with many existing
records. olden-time Christmases we're al
| WAYS cold.
However that NAV have been, we well
know that the past summer was exception
ably hot, and that the fall was very lovely
| in its great number Of cloudless days and
| in its uniformly pleasant temperature, and
| it would now seem to be in order for US to
! have n truly winterish winter. From such
| limitations rs we have already had this is
not unlikely 10 be the case. There have
been great billiards in the Northwest. and
! low temperature has prevailed oil along
| the Atlantic coast. and here we are IN Vir-
| gina skating, and cutting ice 10 be housed
for next summers use
Old-fashioned OF new-fashioned, this is
all very nice, and it Iray also prove solidly
beneficial TO us in preparing the country
to resist the invasion of cholera next year.
| There is general belief. sustained, too, by
many scientific authorities, that q severe
winter Is a good preparation for spring
and summer Of healthfulness.
Whether it was because of the severity
of the weather. or because festivities were
strung along from Saturday evening,
through Sunday and on to Monday, this
Christmas lacked ITS ancient robust rollick-
ingness so far as Richmond was concerned.
There was certainly less noise and frolick-
ing than formerly. However, we are
becoming a sensible people. and are learn
ing that it is quite possible to enjoy our
selves very well indeed without unduly
disturbing our neighbors. Individual
instances of excuses here there GER
tainly were. but as a community we won
golden opinions from thoughtful OBJ
servers.
Soon we shall leave the holidays behind
us and enter upon the new year with all OF
its responsibilities and opportunities.
In 1898 we have the promise of good
year for work OF all sorts. Here especially
there are signs of great business activity
coming. The political horizon is clear,
and Richmond and Virginia. and the whole
country indeed, seems resolved to ''get up
and GO" at lively pace during the new
year. upon whose threshold We now stand.

| little money. but she would not be doing
the best thing for herself looking to the
future. Those yards would soon have q
monopoly Of the war-ship business, and
could then make whatever exactions might
please them, and in case OF war, II they
should be prevented by the operations OF
the enemy from serving us, we would be
| largely nc the enemy's mercy, and would
then have TO pay very dearly for our stu
pidity.
These are some Of the reasons why we
hope that TO the great ship-building CON-
pany at Newport News will be given one OF
the orders for new battle-ships. The work
can be done there handsomely, eco
nomically, and expeditiously. The yard IL
one of the finest private wards to be found
anywhere, and il is near enough to Norfolk
and Richmond 10 be aided by them IN
specially difficult work.
This proximity TO two great cities which
have special facilities for iron ship-build-
inc may not appear TO be of any very great
consequence now, but it might come to be
very much appreciated in war time, more
especially should our enemy lay siege to
some of the large cities north of IA.
So we trust that it is true that the Score
,ary is inclined to distribute tho work. In
that distribution we hope that Newport
News-which Is " Richmond prolonged ~
will find favor, hut whether it does or not
we shall ever maintain that the policy
which we here advocate is better one than
that which would build up one yard on
the Atlantic and another on the Pacific
and let the rest go TO wreck.

A Harmless Threat

In their circular of last week Messrs,
HAMBLEros d Co.. of Baltimore, say that the
SHERMAN silver law ought to be repealed,
and threaten the members of Congress
that they will be held responsible" by
the people for failure TO repeal it.
This is not dangerous threat. The
masses will be told that all the troubles
which the Messrs. HAMILTON speak of were
caused by the failure to provide for the
frse coinage of silver. and they will be-
lieye il. little healthy imitation would
set the wheels of speculation TO buzzing.
