The Cleveland Leader" quoting a
Democratic sound money paper relative
to Cabinet positions, says that all the
sound money Democrats have right to
government That Is a right view to
take of the matter. The Democrats are
not to be presumed to have taken the
position they did for spoils of office.
They antagonized men of the Demo-
cratic party from principle, and to that
they are likely to adhere. To say that
they aided in the election Of a Republi-
can President with the hope Of reward
is practically to insult them and de-
base the estimate Of their motives.

the Latte campaign? The plain fact is
that q few Of the most populous States
would control the election beyond ques-
ton whenever the issue is sectional in
its nature, and the great West would be
less able than now to make success
full contest for the Presidency. It is
true that large State majorties result
in the loss Of votes, for a majority Of
one is as effective as 100000. but that
would also be the case in the event of
an excessive majority If the issue were
decided by popular vote.

TO MEDDLE WITH THE ELECTORAL
COLLEGE

The professional reformer Is again In
toe saddle 1Als time he is pushing a
proposition to abolish the Electoral
College. We regret to say that he is
making some converts. The Electoral
College may not be g. perfect system
neither are any of the devices of man.
But It Is the part of good citizenship to
oppose these constant demands for
change. The American nation has
grown TO what is the freest power on
earth, and one of the greatest, under the
electoral system, and there is, as yet at
least, no good reason advanced for up
setting 1t and trying an experiment.
AS we have 1t, the Electoral College
system Is In direct confirmation Of the
sovereignty of the States recognized in
the very primal principles of our Gov
eminent The fact Is that the fathers Of
the nation wen considersd the other
plans proposed for choosing the Pres
ideHt. and after mature deliberation
settled upon the Electoral College az
best and more conservative OF an indis-
soluble union OF independent States.
The tinkerers who wish to put holes
into constitutional government by way
OF fancied improvements are likely to do
more harm than good. Il is danger
ous thing to change the system we have,
until II is beyond all question evident
that there 10 need for change TO meet
new conditions. or the growth OF the
nation out Of the old system, until it has
proved inadequate On this subject the
Fresno "Republican" says:
The latest demand OF the restless
seekers for a change is that the Elec-
tcrai College shall be abolished; and the
strangest part of 1t is that this demand
n being made by newspapers In West
ern States, where the change to election
by the popular vote would very mate
rally lessen the comparative strength
Of the West In the election OF a Presi-
dent. For example. what earthly show
would the West have in the election of
a President by popular vote on the
anancdal issue - 1t was presented Ia

w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef-
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup OF Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
ali Important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali

all reputable druggists.

A MATTER OF CUSTOM ONLY.

Inc SdllnaS JOurnaI agrees Will
the Record Union" that the wide tire
regulation should be adopted in Cali
fornia as an economic measure to save
wear and tear Of highways. The Peta-
luna Argus Is Of the same way of
thinking.
It always has been q puzzle to this
journal why the narrow tire Is adhered
to. If it can be shown that its traction
is greater, that 1t enables heavier loads
to be moved with no greater expendi-
ture Of power, that 1t more strength
ems the wheel, that it less cuts up the
road, that it Is less exhausting upon the
animal drawing the wagon, that 1t is
more economic, then there would be
some sense in adhering to it.
Not one Of these things can be proved
in favor Of the narrow tire wagons,
while every one of them can be estab-
lished in favor of the wide tire. For
very light vehicles the wide tire would
not answer as well, because 1t would
not be SO conservative Of speed. That Is
all that can be said for the narrow tire.
II there is anything else that can be
advanced in its behalf the columns Of
the Record Union" are freely open for
the presentation Of the reasons in con-
else, crisp style.
We are convinced that the narrow,
road-destroying and labor-los'1g mar
row tire for wagons is matter of GUS
tom only. We use 1t because our
fathers did SO before US, and that Is
the whole secret Of the matter.
The Salinas journal Is so discour-
aged about the attempt to have the
wide tire introduced upon California
road systems that 1t comes to the con-
clusion that the movement will have to
be made political one before any re-
form Is accomplished in that direction.
We recall an amusing scene before q
legislative road committee In this city
in the winter of 1894 The committee
was instructed by the State Good
Roads Convention that had just been
In session. to ask for the Introduction
OF clause into the road law that
would clearly give power to counties to
introduce the wide tire regulation by
degrees, so as to work no hardship
and under plan that would encourage
users Of wagons to adopt the wide tire
When the proposition was made one
Of the committee exclaimed: What
put wide tires on wheels? Why, that
is nonsense unless fellow wants to
do 1t Of his own free will. Why, we
have used narrow tires ever since can
remember, and I can see no reason for
changing to broad ones"
Thereupon one Of the proponents Of
the broad tire idea asked the commit
teeman or any one present to state a
single good reason why a tire should
be narrow for heavy vehicles, and If
anyone would give such a reason he
would withdraw the request for the
amendment.
There was not a word in answer.
The committee sat dumb and irrespon-
sive. The truth is not one Of them
could give a reason that was not sus-
ceptible to instant and conclusive an
swer. while twenty reasons were given
not one Of which any Of those assem-
bled controverted, why the broad tire is
a money, road and labor saver.

He thought that much would depend, in

and the belief that New Mexico would

healthy condition of the territory's re.
sources; the improved tone in business

new business enterprises, and he declared
