MAY SIGN BY FRlD Az.
The Treaty suspending PeIagic Sealing

Washington, November 2.-Important
preparations are being made for the sign
ing of the new treaty between the United
States, Russia and Japan for the sus-
pension of pelagic sealing in Boring sea,
and the North Pacific as exclusively an
nounced by the Associated Press. 1t can
now be stated that the formal ceremony
of signing is expected to occur at the
State Department next Friday. In the
meantime, by concerted action between
the three powers, they will enlarge the
rank and dignity of those who will put
their names to the instrument SO that
they Will sign, not as delegates, but as
ENJOYS extraordinary and plenipotentiary.
1t has been as Delegates to the confer
ence that Messrs Foster, Hamlin, Bot
KIN, FuJtta and the Others have arrived
at satisfactory agreement. For this
reason 1t has been necessary to defer the
signing until the governments at St.
Petersburg. and Toxic changed the
character Of their Representatives from
delegates to ENJOYS extraordinary. This
Is now being done by cable by the ap-
polntment of ENJOYS and their issuance
OF powers to them, but which is felt to be
warranted by the circumstance of the
present case 1t Is stated also that the at
titude of Great Britain will no way affect
the conclusion Of the treaty and that the
delay until Friday Is for the purpose of
securing the powers of ENJOYS.

DEFECTS OF OUR ELECTORAL
SYSTEM.

The electoral system, which, even &C.
cording to it's original design, was never
consistent with our theory OF government,
is, in my opinion, 1.-THE source OF all the
greatest dangers to which we are now
subject. 1t was not only inconsistent
with our theory of government, but in
consistent with itself; for If the people
were in fact incapable of selecting Pres
ident or Vice President by direct vote.
they were equally incapable of selecting
competent agents to perform that duty
for them.
Under this system there Is no uniform
constitutional rule for the selection of
electors, and there have been frequent
periods in our history when three differ
ent methods were in actual operation; at
the same time; some States choosing by
1.-THE votes Of their Legislatures, some by
the votes of the people on general tick
ct, and others by the votes Of the people
in separate districts, each district choos-
ing one elector. 1t Is manifest that. in a
matter OF so great and general concern
as Is the election of chief executive for
the whole country, there should be perfect
uniformity in the proceedings Of the
| different States, in order that the people
of each State may exercise their proper
share of power In determining the result.
| II in one State the electors are chosen BY
y vote of the legislature-not elected for
that purpose, and perhaps not represent
| ing the will of the people on that subject
land in another the whole electoral vote
| is given to single person, simply be.
cause one set OF electors received a small
majority or mere plurality of the popu-
| lar vote, while In third the electoral
vote is divided between two OF more can.
didates, because the popular vote was
taken by districts, 1t is evident that, 81
regards this important function, the
Equality Of tho States and people is de,
stroyed, and that consequently great lin
justice must be done to one side or the
other in the contest. The constitution
not only permits all these different meth
DDS, but there are many other ways ir
which electors might be constitutionally
| appointed, if the legislatures should SCI
fit to adopt them. In times of great ex-
Icitement the temptation to resort to I'M
lair means-especially if such means b.
Illegal and oonstitutional-to secure ad
vantages over political opponents may be
come too strong for successful resistance
and new methods may be found to pre-
vent just and equitable distribution o.
political power among the people.
There are now forty-fve States in tn
Union; and yet, under the practice now
prevailing, President or Vice President
may be elected by bare majority OF the
votes, or even by plurality in twelve
EStates-being three less than one-thirc
of the whole number-although all the
people in all the other States may vote
for other persons.-Hon. j. g. Carlisle

CAMP COMES TO RESCUE.

former football coach, and athletic ad-

the Yale field at once. Mr.. Camp has

the eleven's policy, but has it was stated
this morning, agreed to do anything in
