THE SCHOOL QUESTION.

TIE SCHOOL QuESTlON.
Sec IL. Popular education being the on
ly safe basis OF popular suffrage, we recon-
mend to the several States most liberal ap-
preparation for the public schools. Free
common schools are the nursery of good
government, and they have always received
Che fostering ro Of the Democratic party,
which favors every means OF increasing in
telligence. Freedom of education being an
essential of civil and religious liberty as well
d. Necessity for the development of intsl-
ggence, must not be interlered with under
Any preteyt whatever. We are opposed to
Ntate interference with parental rights or
Fights OF conscience in the education of
Children as an infringement OF the funda-
mental Democratic doctrine that the largest
Individual liberty consistent with the rights
;pf others insures the highest type of Ameri-
can citizenship and the best government. !.
I, ADMISSION OF THE TERRITORIES.
\ Soc. 49, Weapprove the action Of the
present House Of Representatives in passlng
bills admitting into the Union as States the
Territories of New Mexico and Arizona, and
we favor the early admission OF all Tho Ter
ritories having the necessary population and
resources TO enlitle them to Statehood. ane
while they remain Territories we hold that
thy officials appointed to administer the gov
ernment of any Territory, together with the
District of Columbia and Alaska, should be
bona hde residents Of the Territory or dis
trot in which heir duties are TO be per.
formed. The Democratic party believes IN
home rulo tho control of their own af-
fairs by the people the vlcinage.
PROTECTION OF RAILWAY EMPLOYEES.
Sec. 10. We favor legislation by Con-
gress and State legislatures TO protect the
lives and limbs of railway employees and
those of other hazardous transportation
co apanios, and dcnounco the inactivity OF
tho Republican p rty, and particularly the
Republican Senate, for causing tho defeat
of measures beneficial and protective to
this class OF wage-goers.

tn u MICHIGAN PLAN.

In the April number OF the North
American Review Governor Winans, OF
Michigan, contributes an article on the
change of methods in choosing presiden-
tial electors recently adopted in his state,
or what has since been termed "Michi-
%ganizing." His defense Of the new, or
rather old system revived, certainly pre-
sents some very plausible arguments.
To begin with, it cannot he said that
the change is illegal, since a state may
prescribe it's own method Of choosing
it's presidential electors. Nor is it more
unfair than the new recognized political
weapon Of district apportionment m
ployed by the party in power. In Mich
igan this year each congressional district
will choose it's elector while two electors
at large will be chosen. Governor
Winans' first objection to the general
system is that "the entire electoral vote
Of a state may be cast for a candidate
who is opposed by 40 per cent of the
voters" This is worthy Of consideration
because it has often happened that the
PA10AOCAu C4CSlCa SAS 1OU 1OCOlto l4l6
majority Of the popular vote, and, there
fore, in a correct meaning Of the phrase
was not the popular choice. The will of
the people could therefore be more sat
isfactorily expressed by the Michigan
plan, because it would DO nearer a direct
vote, providing, of course, that the ap-
%portionment Of districts was reasonably
fair.
Perhaps the most striking argument
in favor of "Michiganizing" Is expressed
in the governors reference to the i'm
portance Of removing pivotal states. He
says: "As a general election approaches
every man interested in the result can
name the states in which the result is
assured, and interest is practically with
drawn from those states and conferred
upon the doubtful ones. These decisive
states must be carried at any cost, and
enormous corruption funds are raised
and poured into them from every qua
ter. Thousands of votes are bought and
sold, and corruption and debauchery
are openly carried on, because the per-
petrators can rely on party spirit to
shield them from punishment. And
when it is all over, one wonders what
the result would have been in those
states had the people been left in peace
to vote their own preferences. If the
electors were chosen by districts, this
concentration Of unhealthy effort in
particular states would cease. The con-
test would be confined to the individual
districts, and so many of these would
be in doubt that political managers
could not ascertain, as they now can,
just what must be done to carry the
day"
This is, indeed, a strong argument.
Besides the evils resulting it may be
added that under the Michigan system
the political parties would not choose
candidates with reference to their
strength in certain states, but rather to
their strength in the country at large.
While there has been no marked dis
position on the part of the voters as a
whole, or political managers to change
the present system it is possible that
the Michigan plan may result in similar
changes in many states.

Darkness and Bread and Water Bring

There is often a decided variance in
the sentences imposed on offenders con-
victed of the same ofense, particularly
the petty ones. An instance of this is
found in two men now serving on the
chain gang.
One is O. ]. Smith, young man who
accosted young woman on the street
and asked permission to escort her home.
Her father came along and thrashed
him, and Justice Owens gave him SEN
tence of 100 days on charge of disturb
ing the peace.
Morros, the Greek, is another case.
He is man who has been charged in
Vulnerable times with insulting women
or the street, of doing the Peeping Tom
act. and has had the police after him
for year or two. Yet, when he was
convicted, he got only fifty days.
Morros refused to 60 out with the
chain-gang yesterday and was put in the
dark cell and given diet Of bread and
water. This had the desired effect, and
in the afternoon he sent for Jailor Col
Inns and said he would 60 to work in the
morning.
