That the Supreme Court Of the United States
should have rendered nearly unanimous de-
cisiou in favor Of the claims of MIR. Boyd TO be
governor Of Nebraska is not a singular fact
Mr. Boyd had not only been exercising the
rights Of free citizenship ever since the admis-
sion Of the state, but there was the completed
citizenship of his father which the mere lack of
record could never overthrow. II the supreme
tribunal has ever been under partisan lnhu-
enees-and its judges are mortals-thIs does not
seem to be one of such occasions. Two of the
democratic justices concur in the Judgment
OF the court as to its right of jurisdiction,
and the only dissident on this point is the
Oldest democrat and now the Oldest in point OF
service Of any of the justices. The decision
makes palmer than ever before the law of
American citizenship That it gives to one
party an Office to which i. was entitled in equity
although not under the ruling of the state su-
preme court Is a mere incident in the case
The isolation Of Justice Field in the matter of
jurisdiction Is due to his states right position
tEat the matter was one strictly within the
competence of the state to settle finally. 1t
viii be recalled that this is the'only Supreme
Court decision in an important case ever
diyulged in advance of delivery

The able Chicago Tribune in discussing its
fayorite proposition for the election of the
President and the Vice President by popular
vote either forgets that the present number Of
constitutional amendments is only fifteen
or hopes to see its other favorite
proposition for the choice of Senators
by the people adopted first. for
il says that the defects of our existing system
should be remedied by the adoption Of a
seventeenth amendment The Tribune is mis-
taken also in its statement that no prop
osition is before Congress for direct
vote for President and Vice President.
Such a joint resolution introduced by Mr..
Williams of North Carolina is under
consideration in the committee having juris-
diction Of questions of this nature. As the
Tribune is a republican newspaper and Mr..
Williams a democratic Congressman it would
seem that the measure commends itself alike
to certain minds IN both parties Probably it
will be found wiser in practice to adopt the
district or proportional modification of the
present electoral system. 1t is clear that states
rights republicans like Mr.. Edmunds and states
rights democrats will never give their support
20 measure which literally obliterates state
lines in presidential elections and ascertains
the popular viii by aggregate popular majori-
ties.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1892-02-02

The summary decision of the Supreme Court
yesterday in the lottery case would seem to be
good law based on the constitutional powers of
Congress- II certainly gratifes that large class
of citizens who regard lotteries hostile to the
public interests. The federal government has
10 control over the press-its freedom is Sc
cured BY the state and by federal constitution.
The Supreme Court simply declares the right
In Congress under the constitutional power 20
establish post Offices and post roads to decide
that matter which it deems vicious shall not
circulate through the mails

The United States Supreme Court in the
Hutton case afirms the right of the Commits
sioners to appoint on the police force others
than honorabIy discharged soldiers or sailors
Of the United States. This is a reafirma-

Ter IL is therefore a finahtv in the long
agitation against the army and navy clause
q clause of orr local law which has been an
obstruction to good government for several
years. The reason OF such enactment ceased
when the veterans thus provided for in the
law OF 1867 became through increasing age
less physically competent than was requisite
to be the guardians of the city's peace and
safety, and the law should have ceased.
As matter of fact, according to the
decision referred 20 confrmatory Of
the previous decision OF the District
Court, the law Of 81 did cease when the act of
June II, 1878, establishing a permanent form
OF government for the District Of Columbia
took effect. The court holds that the act of
1878 was an organic act superseding all previ-

proper. The court has acted wisely. in accord
ance with what appear sound principles of
Law, and certainly in full accordance with plain
common sense as applied to weighty matters of
legal Interpretation.
The decision not only gives desirable
latitude of selection, but makes it posi-
bic to enforce moro rigid requirements,
physical and educational. The highest stand
ard of physical development should be adhered
to and the applicant should be obliged to know
more of the art of pennanship and orthogra-
ply than the amount necessary to enable him to
make out his application. Especially should he
be a nan Of character, and resident of the Dis
trct familiar with the city which he is to guard.
Appointments on the basis OF friendship or in
fuence should be made cut of the question.
Tho police force is an organization Of too much
importance to the citizen to be in risk Of doing
duty as n dump for political friends and servi-
tors. The striker for a member of Congress in
some other city, ignorant of the geography and
conditions Of the capital, is as unpromising
material for competent guardian of the local
peace as can be imagined The Commissioners
will doubtless see to it for the citys welfare
that in escaping the Scylla Of the army pro-
vision, the police force does not run into the
