ANOTHER SCHEME

Anew society, calling itself 1.-THE Patri-
otic League of America" has been or
ganized in New York, and If its "ad-'
dress to the people of the United States"
reflects the purpose of the league, 1t is
quite safe to say that very little OF
1t should go a long way with thinking
people. One of the blessed privileges of
the American citizen Is that he can
make as many kinds of fool Of himself
as he has a mind to, but there are
bounds which he should not try to pass.
This new organization of patriots ar
rogates to itself the right to determine
what patriotism is, and how one may
show forth that he is patriotic citizen.
1t invites all true patriots to join the
league, and there is an implied intima-
tion that all who do not wheel into line
under its banner may we'll be considered
suspicious characters. If not out-and-out
traitors to their country.
To be a true patriot, according to the
standard of the league, one must edu-
cate himself to hate England above all
other countries on earth. When his
hatred is monumental in proportions, he
must clamor for the immediate disman-
tlement and destruction of British forts
on the great lakes and south of Halifax
on the Atlantic coast; and while at work
upon England, he must insist that Vene-
zuela shall have everything that Great
Britain is opposed to her having.
In the matter of Turkish misdeeds in
Armenia, the patrior must demand that
the United States proceed forthwith to
dismember the Mussuiman empire. AS
for Cuba. no true patriot would hesitate
a moment to insist that this couRtry
send men and ships to help the Cubahs
establish their Independence.
In the matter of the Hawaiian islands
no man is worthy Of membership in the
league who would not shout, early and
late. for annexation But the leagues
loftiest standard Of patriotism is upon
economic lines. which run in harmony
with McKinley's 8 views onAhe tariff ques-
ton. Nevertheless. the league knows
nothing but patriotism" and love Of
country" but 1t looks like q Hanna
scheme to pave the way to something
four years hence.

BRYAN'S ENORMOUS VOTE.

1t Is perfectly clear, in the light of
the returns, that practically all the re-
serve vote which came out at the late
election went to Bryan.
In spite of the detection Of the Bolto-
Gratis and the power of consolidated
wealth for the corruption of election
officers, his vote was the largest ever
cast for any Democratic candidate 1t is
94l,939 greater than that cast for Cleve-
land in 1892 and Cleveland's vote in that
year was 21S,000 greater than he polled in
1883 and 650,OO0 greater than he polled in
1884.
Bryan's vote this year is also greater
than was ever polled by any Republican
candidate, except Mckinley. 1t is l,16O,-
900 greater than that polled by Harrison
in his victorious campaign of 1888, and
nearly twice as great as that polled for

party supremacy, being 6,49S,S57 as COM

A RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT

BY dissolving the injunction in the
Fitzsimmons-Sharkey case, Judge San
derson of San Francisco virtually de-
cides that a glove contest and a prize
fight are one and the same thing and
that the principals in such an affair
have no standing in court, because they
are law-breakers. 1t will be remembered
that Immediately after the battle F'itz-
simmons went into court and applied for
and secured an order restraining the
stakeholder from paying the money to
Sharkey on the ground that the decision
was not only wrong but the result of a
conspiracy to defraud him. The court,
it seems, holds that inasmuch as the
fight was itself a violation Of the law,
there could be no suit at law to recover
money employed in the affair.
No doubt Judge Sanderson's decision
will check, if not entirely do away, with
prize fighting in California and it is to
be hoped that it may. At best a prize

that they cannot enforce any contract
which provides for the payment of
money. The decision also settles the

AN ABSURD SYSTEM

Some one has been, n,looking into some
Of the curiosities, absurdities rather, of
our system of electing presidents, and
these are his comments and flgures:'For
the first time since 1872 the successful
presidential candidate has won by a
majority of votes cast. Owing to the
system of the electoral college, by which
each state has only certain number of
votes which will be counted in the choos-
ing of the president, 1t can happen, and
has in fact happened more than once,
opponent who received larger popular
vote.
Thus, IN 1888, Grover Cleveland was
defeated, although he had nearly 100, 900
more votes than Benjamin Harrison. In
1sS0Gen. Garfield had popular plurality
Of 1854 over Gen. Hancock but the COM
bined opposition had BILLIE more votes
than Gen. Garfield had. In 1876 Samuel
]. Tilden had 252,042 plurality over
Hayes, and q popular majority of 1857
over all other candidates At this elec-
ton a. change Of only 500 votes in certain
states would have seated Mr.. Tilden.
In 1884 the combined opposition to
Grover Cleveland had ST.. .63S majority
over him. A change of SIS votes would
have elected James G. Blaine. When
Mr.. Cleveland was elected in 1892 the
combined opposition had a majority of
969, 200 over him. If at that election only
&c, 900 votes had gone differently in GER
tain close states Mr.. Harrison would be
president today, although Mr.. Cleve-
lands popular plurality over Mr.. Harri-
son was 379.025.
Major McKinley's success was an un-
usual one, because he not only carried
a large majority of the electoral votes,
but he had majority of popular votes
over the entire opposition of about $780,
900, and a plurality over Mr.. Bryan Of
$50, 900 at least. And yet even in Mr.. Nc
Kinley's case a change of $4,000 votes
distributed among certain close states
would have changed the majority in the
electoral college and thus elected Mr..
Bryan.
