munds was once asked how president elect is to know that he is elected. "By reading the newspapers" was his answer. Itsisia curious fact that no provisions of law exists for the official notification of Maj Mckinley, for example, of his elect ion. According to the law, the vice. -presi- dent, after the returns from the electoral college, have been canvassed, announces to the congress in joint session the choice of the electors for president and vice-presi- dent for the ensuing tern. After reading in the newspapers that he Shas been so hOnored the president-elect goes to'Wash- ingtOn to be sworn in. Meantime the president, still in office, is also dependent upon the newspapers flor information as to the identity of his successor. And'so, President Cleveland, having Tread in sthe papers, or in the Congressional Record, that Maj Mckinley is to be the next presi- dent, will calla at the latter's lodgings a day or two before the end of his tel m to pay his respects. Y Finally, on the inau- gural day Maj Mckinley will happenupIto the senate chamber, on the strength of what the newspapers have told him, and be sworn in. God is not officially recog- nized in n'the constitution, but the Ameri- can government's machinery tacitly recog- nized the press as 8 necessary part of modern civilization.
