THERE can be little doubt that the ob- ject of the republicans in bringing the question of the constitutionality of the new Michigan electoral law, providing for the election of presidential electors by congressional districts instead of electing all of them on one ticket, before the United States supreme court, is to obtain political decision, similar to the notorious 8 to decision of 1877. The question was areued before the court this week, and republicans are boldly claiming that the law will be declared unconstitutional before election; but it is hardly probable that majority of the court will sanction the claim by voting for such a decision. The case as brought before the court is a private one, and contrary to all precedent, the attorney general of the United States appeared as the leading counsel on the republican side; but he Is hardly to blame for taking such an unusual course, as it is stated by those in a position to know ,and generally believed that he was acting under the orders of the republican bosses. All the same it was an improper proceeding although probably not illegal. This was recognized by the attorney general himself, who took especial pains to have it known that he appeared in the case as private counsel aud not in his official capacity.

PIERRE LOTT, the celebrated French romanticist, whose genius was so con- spicuously recognized a few months ago by his election to the French academy, makes an attack upon the various schools of literature, with particular reference to the so called "naturalistic' school, in an article contributed to the October number of the Forum. eff a man believes that he has some talent for writing" he says, Git is certainty strange that he can allow himself to be directed by a master or by the rule of any school, no matter how great the master may be or how skillfully devised the rule may seem." And he adds that Ito allow oneself to be warped, then, and to subject ones nature even to the laws of aesthetics, which are claimed to be the broadest and most plastic of laws, is equivalent to annihilating part of ones own Individuality.

UPON the delegates to the democratic probate convention great responsi- bility rests. The office is one in which the middle class is especially interested. Many powers are conferred by statute upon judges of probate in the settle ment of estates, and when good man is found he should be thoroughly appre- ciated. Judge Phelan has performed the duties of the office faithfully and well, and, we believe, will be renomi- mated. With him the nomination means election. The fact that the re- publican leaders do not want Judge Phelan nominated is a significant straw.

FOLLOWING the example set by the state body, the local democracy have renominated Messrs Root and Sake for representatives. Both are good men and can easily be reelected. It was understood before the convention that Representative Root would not accept the nomination for first representative, and his name was not brought before the meeting until the chairman of the town committee announced that he be- lieved MT Root would stand, when he was unanimously nominated. The DEMOCRAT would like to see Mir Root in the upper body of the general assembly.

A FARMER ought to consider how this tariff of Mckinley works against him. It cuts off competition in farming inn plements here, and the manufacturer who sends a horse rake into the South American market and sells it for S19, charges S25 for it here. The Cumming feed cutter is sold in South America for S60 and here for 800. The Clipper cutter is sold in South America for $0.5 and here for SIS. The Ann Arbor cutter No 1 is sold in South America for SIG and here for S29, and No 2 is sold in South America for $2S and here for $4O. These are a few of the frauds the Mckinley tariff practices on the farmer.

Vote Against Cleveland.

Because he is a political juggler. There
was a time when Grover Cleveland appar-
emily had the courage Of his convictions,
when he stood out boldly for what he be-
lieved to be right, even to the defeat of his
party. Then even his enemies had to re-
spect his showing of moral courage. But
now the itch Of office has so afflicted him
that he is wholly changed. He is shifting
from one pretext to another in a hopeless
effort to obtain sufficient votes to elect him
to the presidency. An avowed civil serv-
ice devotee, he has allied himself with Ad-
lai, the spokesman; the idol of the Mug
wump, he has bowed to their implacable
enemy, Tammany Hall; an enthusiast for
tariff reform, he has permitted his ~inveter-
ate foe, Charles A. Dana, to make "No Ne.
gro Domination the watchword of his
campaign. Everywhere and in everything
he is weak and shifting. Such Il man is
not to be trusted with the presidency.

A Party of Promises.

The Democrats had Il majority in the
last house Of representatives of more than
two-thirds. There is scarcely anything
that a party with a two-thirds vote in a
parliamentary body cannot do. They can
absolutely overpower a minority, no mat
ter how able or vigorous. This Demo-
cratic majority could have accomplished
in it's W branch of congress anything
and everything it promised to do before it
was elected. What did it promise and
offer to dor
To repeal the Mckinley tariff.
To pass a free coinage bill.
To abolish reciprocity.
To repeal the sugar bounties and the
subsidies for ocean mail service.
To cut off one or more hundred millions
of dollars from the alleged excessive ap-
preparations of the "billion dollar" con-
gress.
Did it do any Of these things? Did it
fulfill any of these promises? Not one.-
