consideratiS~, the probability being that
there Will shortly be areport sustaining the
Michigan law. This report, if concurred
in, will be in the nature of an official
declaration of the law relating to it, but it
need not be expected that the Michigan
Republicans will be influenced thereby.
Ex-Postmas ter General DICKINSON, OF the
Badger state, interviewed by a Washing
ton paper, recently said:
1--WE want strong Presidential ticket,
and when we cast the six electoral votes
OF Michigan, we intend that they shall
count. The right to elect Presidential
electors by Congressional districts is dis
puted by the Republicans, who will at
tempt to get the matter before the su-
preme court of the state. when some ar
bltrary decision may be expected. There
can hardly be any serious question among
lawyers, politics aside, about the constitu-
tionality OF the district plan of electing the
electors, but it is not safe to conclude that
the decision of the Michigan supreme court
will conform to this opinion. In view of
the great importance of the question, both
politically and as matter of constitutional
construction, it may be necessary for Con-
gress to express some statutory affirma-
ton Of the principle involved in the dis
mute

UNDUE CORPORATION INFuEScEs.

The Congressional Record contains an
elaborate speech by Senator CALL, of
Florida, prompted by the opposition he had
at MS last election from the railroad cor
poratlons OF that state, Whilst there is
some exhibition of "cranklnessn in the
effort, the Senator produces a number of
welghtg facts and strikes powerful blows
at the growing system OF combining the
power OF railroad companies upon the
course OF legislation in the state assemblies (;
and he might have included Congress as
well. More than 5000, 900, he declares, was
spent In Florida to secure Senator CALLS
defeat Thinking and intelligent people
agree that this sort of business should be
stopped, but the very suggestion of apply
ing remedy is demoralizing to the average
legislator.
Almost every inch Of railroad in the
south is owned or controlled in New
York or abroad, as Is likewise the
case with most of the western roads.
and every dollar of railroad earnings goes
to that great money center. The banking
reports show daily deposits in New York
of an average of 100000. This is only
an exhibit of the vast power of the great
eastern corporations.
The HERALD believes that large part Of
the alleged unfriendliness of the people
towards the railroads would disappear if
the railrods were to remove their obnox-
ious agents from legislative Hobbies. This
interference with the free action of repres-
entatives is calling, as well as criminal.
Many persons not disposed to be unjust to
railroads, but rather inclined to liberality,
are in measure compelled, out of a.sense
OF self-respect, and to prevent a miscon-
struction of their course, to oppose projects
they might otherwise favor. The day is
coming when tie big concerns will have to
get along without bribery and corruption.

WHEN VIEWED from ranchman's or
wool-grower's position, it looks trlfle one
sided to have unprotected wool and pro-
tected manufactured wooden goods-to
supply free wool to be bought back in the
shape of taxed flannel, blankets and under
shirts. 1t would seem that if the duty on
wool is to be removed entirely, the duty on
wooden goods ought to be lowered at least
Blu the Republicans of the east do not con-
template any such even-hande6 justice as
this. And the other day one of them blurted
out fact that protectionists are in the habit
of attempting to conceal that the protective
system is not for all, but for a favored few,
Just and equal protection for all, ), he said
sis vain andfutile." In other words, the
benefits of the policy cannot be extended to
the grain-raisers and wool-growers, but
must be limited strictly to the manufact-
urers of the northeast. This is the charmed
circle, from which other classes must be
excluded.

1T HURTS THEM.

The HERALD observes that some of its
Republican contemporaries profess GER
tain degree of indignation because this
paper expressed the fact that Republican
politicians were slandering the first presi-
dency by conveying the impression to
voters that it was the desire of the church
authorities that Logan should be carried
by Republicans. We have not observed,
however, that what The HERALD alleged
has been denied by any Of its contempo-
raries. Manifestly the declaration by
Presidents WOODRUFF and SMITH that
their names and influence must not be en-
ployed by partisans does not set we'll on
the minds of those Republican gen.
tlemen who have been engaged in the
illegitimate business referred to, and it is
also apparent that the putting check upon
the dishonest and disreputable practice has
disturbing effect upon Republican editors.
In connection with this matter, we may
ask why 1T is that nobody of the opposition
has ever discovered the slightest evidence
OF any Democrat having time to advance
the cause OF his party by indulging in such
questionable methods? The truth is, the
Democracy believe in the complete sepa-
ration of church and state, and are too
honest in politics to engage in practices not
sanctioned by the principles of their party.
So careful have leading ohurchmen
OF the Democratic faith been to
avoid giving even the semblance
OF offense in this matter, that they have
studiously refrained from active particips-
ton III politics. They have not gone upon
the stump, and have taken no part in the
campaigns, although at times the tempta-
ton TO do so must have been great, when
prominent ecclesiastics of the opposition
were vulgarizing their churchly offices by
open campaigning. We commend the Dem
ocratic church officials for the heightened
stand they have taken and the consistent
course they have pursued with reference
to politics and their church.

ELECTORS CHOSEN BY DISTRICTS.

The threat of the Michigan Republicans
to carry to the supreme court of that state
the question of the right to choose presi-
Dental electors by congressional districts
is one calculated to give some uneasiness TO
Democrats. The scheme is an entirely fair
and proper one, and it has recently been
brought out that such scheme was fav-
ored by SCHUYLER CoLTAX and Senator
Morton in their day. Without doubt it ia

are Republican. In this case the state
