SETTLED BY PRACTICE.

1t is somewhat surprising to find ouI
bright contemporary, the Washington Post,
wasting a column to raise that already
ventilated claim that because the present
Congress contains the number of Repre-.
sentatives given by the apportionment for
the last decade, and the country has just
chosen Presidential Electors on the basis
of the new apportionment, there is some
thing wrong Sundry eminent statesmen
are quoted to the effect that this is new
question, and that by the Constitution the
Electors cannot exceed the number of
seats in the Congress sitting at the time
of the election.
The eminent statesmen and the Post are
wrong. The question is not a new one,
except in the raising of point which has
long been overruled by practice. The Con-
stitutional requirement is that the same
number OF Electors are to be chosen as
Representatives ''in the Congress At
the same time that the nation chooses
Electors it elects Representatives in the
Congress. The new apportionment ev j.
IDENTIFY takes effect when these Representa-
tives and Electors are chosen, and it is
common sense under the language of the
Constitution that the same number of
both should be elected.
There might be some room for the con-
tention that SO far as the language of the
provision is concerned it can refer just as
well to the setting Congress, if the
practice had not been unusually and un-

PROGRESSIVE TORIES.

British Tories have adopted a highly
progressive platform, as will be seen from
the cable news published elsewhere.
There has for some years past been a
tendency on the part of the Conservatives
to bid for the votes of the workingman
But the latest phase of the movement
marks a more distinct and decisive step
than has heretofore been taken by Lord
Salsbury's adherents.
The Liberal Unionists who left their
party to cleave to their opponents on ac-
count of the single issue of Home Rule
may be credited with having to some
slight extent leavened the policy of their
allies, But in the main the de-
parture is neither mora nor less
than bid for support, which is strongly
indicative of the spirit of the times. The
Tories love not the democracy more, but
the Liberals less. And the necessity for
arms wherewith to combat their rivals has
led them to outdo the radicallsm of the
Liberal party in some directions. The
sincerity of Tory reforms on behalf of the
people may be estimated by the state of
need in which the professions are made
This movement is simply the Inaugural
ton Of plan of campaign to harass Mr.
Gladstone, prevent home rule and return
to Office. Whether the campaign will end
in victory or renewed defeat for the
Tories remains to be seen when Parlla-
ment meets.

THE EMPTY TREASURY,

Elsewhere will be found statement of
the condition of the National Treasury
which demands earnest consideration, and
indicates that the President-elect will be
confronted with grave difficulties Imme-
diately upon his Inauguration. Either
the last session of the Fifty-second Con-
gress must do something to rearrange the
finances of the country on satisfactory
basis, or an extra session of the newly
elected body will be necessary.
There are arguments to be made and
details to be discussed before definite
decision as to the best way out of the diff
Guilty may be arrived at But, on the
whole, it would seem the wiser course for
the Congress of the present to come to
some agreement with the members-eiect
of the new Government whereby the nee
essity for an extra session could be OBJ
waited
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-11-12

disputedly the other way. In 1892 the
electoral vote was increased 121 over that
of 1888, and the Congress then sitting
could not have been elected with the new
apportionment, because it was elected in
1890. In 1912 the increase in the Electoral
College was 3S, in 1882 it was 1S. in 1852 1t
was but and in 1872 it was 43. Here is
clear proof that the practice has been un-
changed of electing the increased number
of Presidential Electors in the year sue
ceeding new apportionment exactly as
the "a new Electors have been elected this
year.
This is the common sense construction
of the provision adopted the first time
such case came up under the Constltu-
ton and continued to the present time. IL
is not likely to be changed now that it has
been in force for century.

HOW TT LOOKS NOW.

Now that the election is over it is inter-
esting and instructive to take up some of
the organs which gleefully recounted how
Hoffman House the night before the bal
loting and exercised their cash or wind to
such an extent that the Democratic bet
tors were backed down into asking odds.
This was hailed by minds of the partisan
class as an evidence of coming Repub-
lican victory.
1t is worth while to ask, in the light of
the next days result, how much value
there is in the betting index Or if, as
some fatuous minds pretend to believe,
service is done to the party cause by large
bluffs in this direction, where are the re-
suits of this final t0ar de force. 1t is
plain enough now that these gallant bet
tors, whose exploits were spread all over
the nation, did no good to anyone
except the Democratic bettors, who
won what money they actually put
up; and if their grand political
coup had any effect at all it was to
induce some misguided followers to also
put up their money and lose it. But the
singular thing is that although nearly
every Presidential campaign furnishes
such proof of the folly of erecting betting
to the height of political maneuver, the
the same thing is repeated every four
years with scarcely variation.
Our politics contain several features In
which the characteristic of Stiffness is pre-
dominant; but the feature of political bet
ting is the most egregious idiocy of all.

PITTSBURG. SATURDAY. NOV. IL. 1892.
TWELVE PAGES
THE NEW DOCTRINE.

The Venezuelan dispute, in which the
captain of the steamer Philadelphia re-
fused to give up passenger to the present
Venezuelan Government, is extending the
principle laid down in the Barrundia case
to novel degree. Since it has been de-
cided that the decks of American merchant
vessels shall be sanctuary, even in the
harbor of foreign power, it is pleasant to
know that the right is vigorously and
boldly maintained. But it must be noted
at the same time that the maintenance of
logical processes.
The fact that the United States vessel
was put in the position of refusing to sur
render man charged with cattle stealing
presents little difficulty 1t is safe to pre-
sumo that the charge was trumped up for
the purpose of getting hold of a political
prisoner. But the method on which Min
lister Scruggs discovered the way out,
namely, that there is no extradition treaty
between Venezuela and the United States,
is novel one. Does the United States
consider it necessary to go through an e,i-
tradition process in order to arrest an
offender on foreign steamer lying in the
port of New York?
The fact is that in this matter the
United States has some ground to assert
privileges for their merchant vessels in
South American ports which we would
not yield to the vessels of South Ameri-
can nations in our ports. There may be
some natural justification for this in the
violence of the frequent political out
breaks in South America. But it presents
international law in a very one-sided
shape, and does not seem exactly the way
to conciliate the South American suscep-
tibilities on behalf of this country.

DEPEW DEFENDS HIMSELF.
He Thinks Platt Ought to Divide the
Blame With Him.

NEW YORK. Nov. 1l-Chauncey Nj. DepeW
was asked this morning what he thought OF
statement made last night by eX-senator
Thomas C. Platt, attributing the defeae Oh
the Republican party in New YORK county
to him (Depew). In reply the Doctor salu:
Brother Platt objected to me taking an
active part in the campaign. he salo:
Brother Depew, you are good orator ano
are good enough to make speeches lor the
party, but you must not do any managing
Brother Platt thinks am an amateur When
it comes to politics. On the other hand ne
believes, and so do 1, that he himself Is an
expert and experienced politician. 1t was,
therefore, agreed that Brother Platt should
manage the campaign. He was allotted the
task OF running the machine, and was put
off at speech-making.
"Now, Brother Platt is a shrewd and COM
petent engineer. and ran the machine as
well as it could De done. He did all the Work
in the city and State, and did it better. per-
haps, than anyone could have done it. But
then, as he was managing and conducting
the machine don't think he can lay the
blame for the collision on me. We just run
intoa landslide-that was it, plain and sim
pie. Brother Platt was at the throttle, and
wideawake. too, but he could not avert an
accident. The engine simply PLUNGED into
the obstruction and we all know the result.
early in the fight Brother Platt insisted
upon my combining myself to orations in
stead of engineering actively in the machin-
cry department.. He preferred to do this
himself, as he had more experience, so
went forth as a speaker. Between us we
evolved the end.
THE result could not be attributed to any
one person or party o. persons. New York
alone did not effect the result. 1t was the
