rary both need to overhaul the Constitu-
ton in order to learn that there is no such
prohibition. The only prohibition is that
the electors of each State shall vote for
President and Vice President, some OF
whom at least shall not be an inhabitant
of the same State with themselves" The
electors of New York, for example, can
not vote for both Mr.. Cleveland and MI.
Reid; but none of them will wish to.
If the election is thrown into Congress
the House will elect Cleveland and the
Senate will elect Reid There is no Con-
stitutional obstacle to their doing so; but
there would be a Constitutional obstacle
to the Senate's election of Mr.. Field. The
Constitution requires the Senate to make
a choice from the two persons having the
greatest number of votes AsGeneral Field
would be the third on the list he would be
ineligible to election by the Senate. 1t
is well to consult the Constitution before
quoting it.

ENGI,AND,s NEW MINISTRY.

The full list of Gladstone's Cabinet is
given to the world at last, now that all
customary usages have been complied
with. Earl Roseberry's acceptance of the
Foreign Secretaryship may be taken as an
indication that Gladstone's course in deal
ing with other nations in the past is to be
modified and stiffened up. THE DIS
PATCH has already pointed out the doubt
as to Harcourt's fitness to become Chan
cellor OF the Exchequer, and at the same
time noted the superlative appropriate
ness of John Morley's return to the Irish
Secretaryship. Baron Herschell will be-
come the woolsack to the credit of the
nation as the woolsack will become him.
Few British politicians have made such
rapid strides to prominence as Mr..
Asquith. He is young man and
has given exceptional evidence OF
oratoricai brilliancy and keen. men
tai ability. As Home Secretary ample
opportunity will be found to test
his powers of craftsmanship. This office
has control of the London police among
other things, and is filled with increased
importance and difficulty since the growth
of liberalism, radicalism and socialism in
the British metropolis.
Among other appointments those OF the
Marquis of Ripon as Secretary of State
for the Colonies, and Mr.. Arnold Morley
as Postmaster General appear peculiarly
happy. The former is a man of such tact
and suavity as have brought him great
popularity, and as Viceroy of India he
made very satisfactory record, verging
even on brilliancy. Arnold Morley is a
thoroughly able business man of
sound integrity, and he has served
his party faithfully as a "whip."
Baron Houghton, the new Viceroy of
Ireland, is young and little known to the
public His father, the first of the title,
was man of considerable literary ability,
and was remarkable for his wide circle of
friends and acquaintances among leading
statesmen and politicians This appoint
ment is possibly due to personal express
sion of the Queens desires, as the Baron
has been one of her Lords in waiting. But
it is probably that his wealth and its de-
yotion to the Liberal cause play no small
part in the matter.
Taken as whole, Mr. Gladstone's Cabi-
net is strong one, but it is hardly equal
to his earlier Ministries so far as can now
be Judged The new Government has
hard task before it, though it is one the
successful accomplishment of which de-
pends in an unusual degree on the action
of the party as whole, and still more on
the common sense and unity of the Irish
members, than on the individual or col
lect1ve strength of its Cabinet officers.

CONSTITUTIONAL IGNORANCE.

A theory of Mr.. McCune, editor of the
Farmers Alliance organ, is in circulation
by which if the Peoples Party can carry
electoral votes enough to throw the elec-
ton into Congress the Vice Presidential
candidate of that party, General Field, is
sure to be elected The House will elect
Mr.. Cleveland sure enough, Mr.. Mcclure
recognizes, but he thinks the Senate has
got to elect General Field. ''The Consti-
tuition prohibits the President and Vice
President both coming from the same
State" says Mr.. McCune, "and the House
having chosen Mr.. Cleveland first, Mr.
Reid would De rendered ineligible. The
Senate would, therefore, be compelled to
choose between Mr.. Stevenson and Mr.
Field, and there is little room for doubt
that they would select the latter" A city
cotemporary editorially comedies Mr.. Nc
Cune's postulate, but deems it more than
doubtful if the Senate would prefer Gen.
eral Field to Mr.. Stevenson.
Two inquiries naturally arise when such
a theory of Constitutional action is pre-
sented. The first is what clause of the
Constitution provides that the House shall
elect the President before the Senate does
the Vice President? As there is no such
provision, it would be just as easy for Nc
Cune's theory to have the Senate elect
Mr.. Reid first, and this would accomplish
a much greater victory for the Peoples
Party by insuring General Weaver's choice
by the House on the same logic The
other question is: What clause of tn Con-
sttution prohibits the President and Vice
President both coming from the same
State7 Mr.. McCune and our cotempo-

yICToRIA,S DISCRETION.

The reception of Gladstone by the
Queen at Osborne will have the effect of
quieting the adverse talk caused by re-
ports that the English sovereign was in
spired by dislike for the old Commoner
almost to the extent of inaugurating a
constitutional conflict to prevent his tax
ing office. The incoming Prime Minister
was received with especial honors, and
moi even Lord Salisbury has been received
with more hospitality.
This was doubtless intended to allay the
republican muttering caused by reports
that the Queen was disposed to interfere
with politics to the extent of blocking the
fervor of the Parliamentary majority to
designate the Cabinet. These reports
were probably without foundation But
it is beyond question that Giadstone's re-
ception showed great change in the royal
attitude from the decidedly cool hospi-
tality with which he was received in
1885, when he was summoned to form a
ministry after Lord Harrington had been
requested to perform that function and
had refused it Then not even a carriage
was sent to meet him at the railway
station. On Monday, however, he was re-
ceived with decided empresscment and ac-
corded the recognition due to statesman
1t is a matter ofconiecture whether the
Queen has become reconciled to the rad
ical views of Gladstone, or has become
convinced that her personal dislike for
him and his policy must not enter into
official relations But it is clear that she
has too much sense to entertain the
thought of marring the close of her con-
stitutional reign by trying to assert an
arbitrary power over the naming Of the
responsible government or by treating the
Ministers whom she does not like with
open disfavor.

BEDFORD, Pa, Aug. 16.-[SpecfnL] Limited
States Senator Anthony Higgins, of Della
ware who has been resting at the Springs
since. the adjournment of Congress, was
seen to-day be ore taking the train for his
home where he goes to take part in the
work of the State Convention, which meets
on the 18th, and was asked as to what extent
the force bill would figure in the coming
campaign in the Southern States. He said:
"It is becoming apparent that the cry OF
the force bill as an issue is dead for North
ern constituencies. It is not a lively ques-
tion, touching no interest immediate to
them, and the march of events is disclosing
what has long been known to those having
an intimate knowledge OF opinion in the
weight there. The Southern people no
longer fear negro rule. They know such
thing is impossi BILE. twenty-five years have
passed since that has prevailed, and they
will be no longer restrained from taking
sides on the living issues OF the day, nor be
frightened by those who have 80 long been
in power and control in their States and
counties, but who have lost touch with the
living issues of the day.
"The result in Alabama has opened the
eyes of the North to the feeling in the South,

PuRITAHIsM AT CHAUTAUQUA.
Discourses by Eicquent Speakers Edlfy
Several Big Audiences.


CHAurAUoUA, N. Y. Aug. 16.-tSpecial] J.
The eloquent DIR. +. W. Gunsaulis took
Chautauqua BY storm to-day. He was
greeted by 1000 people, every one of whom
he made his friend. His subject was Gre
cent Eloquence of Puritanism." Puritan
ism, he says, originated almost with the
world, and under other names has gradually
come down even to the present day. DR..
Guhsaulis' address was by far the most elo-
quent heard at Chautauqua this season.
This AFTERNOON Mr.. Leland T. Powers read
"The Shagraun." Mr.. Powers Is a reader
whose merit is recognized by the whole
country, and is quite favorite with Chau-
tauqua audiences. Thursday evening he
reads "The Rivals"
DIR. Richard T. Ely gave his second lecture
on socialism this afternoon, giving the
strong points of the propositions for
change in the social conditions of the world.
The waste caused by competitive produc-
tion Is one OF the leading arguments for
change. He cited the we'll used case of two
rail- Dads running parallel across the coun-
try doing the work one should do and en-
ploying twice the number of men, many OF
whom should be in other lines OF protective
labor. He also give similar arguments
which Socialists advance in favor of public
ownership of railreadS and telegraph lines.
This evening the band gave q promenade
concert in the Hotel Park and stereopticon
views were shown.

IT is really surprising that Platt and Hill
do not resort to the toss of a coin or some
similar chance settlement as to which of
them shall throw the vote of New York to
the other. For they both appear to be actu-
ated by purely personal motives, and each
seems as confident as the other that he owns
his party entirely in his State and almost in
the country as whole. If the one could but
buy up the other in some way he would just
add the final straw which would break the
back of his party's endurance, and lead to
the country's happiness by an utter disre-
gard of his wishes.
