A MISUNDERSTANDING.

To the Editor Of The Call: In Justice
to Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald, wish
to state regarding the mass-meeting held
at the Metropolitan Temple on Wednes-
day evening, that the mistake was due
entirely to articles which have appeared
in the papers for the past week, due to
a misunderstanding on the part Of the
reporters and not in any manner the fault
Of the Labor Commissioner. He had moth
ing to do with the calling of the meeting.
and so stated to every one, and the work
ing women Of this city know how hard
and faithfully he has worked for them,
and thank him with all their hearts for
what he has accomplished. The article
which appeared makes us seem guilty
Of the basest ingratitude instead Of being
thankful. MRS. ANSELM.

VOTING FOR ELECTORS-s. A NJ,
City. The plan of voting for President of
the United States by electors was adopted
by the trainers of the constitution to in
sure the action Of the desire of the people
in the choice of their chief magistrate
without running the risk of a possible
revolution through popular excitement
over an unusually faYorite candidate.
After a number of plans had been sug-
gested it was thought best to give the
power into the hands of a limited num-
Der of persons, chosen by the people for
the sole purpose of making this selection.
Alexander Hamilton expressed it in these
words: ut was desirable that the sense
of the people should operate in the choice
of the persons to whom so important a
trust was to be confided. 1t was equally
desirable that the immediate election
should be made by men most capable Of
Analysing qualities adapted to the sta
ton. A small number of persons selected
by their fellow citizens from the general
mass would be the most likely to possess
the information and discernment neces-
sary for so complicated an investigation"
The idea was that the people would select
their very best and wisest men as cleo
tors, and that they in turn independent
of any outside pressure, would sit in
judgment upon the qualities and abilities
of the foremost citizens of the republic
and choose from their number not the
most popular man, but the man possessed
of the highest qualifications for the office
to serve as President To elect the Presi-
dent by popular vote could be done only
by an amendment to the constitution.

1t is well known that the people
Of Norway have a very liberal estl-
mate Of the ability Of women, and
that many public positions are filled
by them. Since last spring, how
ever, women have been accepted for
the position of station-master, and,
have fulfilled all the obligations OF
that office with the utmost satisfac-
ton. 1t strikes the traveller with
surprise to have his ticket called for
by a woman at the end Of his jour
ney, to hear a woman call the
trains, and to see another give
the signals for the trains to steam
out of the stations, while perhaps
the official in charge of the baggage
is also a woman. In some stations
these new station masters wear a
uniform, which is both simple and
becoming. Most Of the women are
slender blondes, and the uniform
which they wear consists OF dres.
Of blue Norwegian wooden stuff, with
gilt cord on the collar and cuffs, a
leather belt with gilt buckle, and
blue cap with red band and a
cockade Of the Norwegian national
} colors. The innovation seems tc
please the public and to have thus
liar proved for the best interests Of
all concerned.-N. Y. Independent
