THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
How the Free and Independent Voters
Vote Nay Get Lost in the Electoral
College.
New York SUM-


The exceptionally full vote cast in
the presidential election in 1896 show
ed the extent to which from various
causes disparities in the representa-
ton Of the states in the electoral col
Iege have come to be established
New York cast in the presidential
election Of four years ago 1,545,OOO
votes. 1t has So electors, about edui-
vaIent to one eIector for each 1900 in
habitants, which is about the same
proportion that exists in Illinois and
Ohio. Nevada, with an electorate Of
10000 only has one vote in the cleo
| toraI college for each $500 voters, and
Wyoming, with an electorate Of 10000,
has one for each $500. Nevada is not
gaining in population, but is falling
behind. New York has increased
steadily since 1896.
Texas and Indiana have the same
electoral vote, but the popular vote Of
Indiana was nearly 100000 greater
than that Of Texas at the election Of
four years ago. In that contest Kan
sas cast 1000 more votes than Tenn
essee, but Kansas has only ten electors
and Tennessee has twelve. California
cast $4,000 votes and South Carolina
cast 6S,OOO. This is a difference large
enough to make reasonable the idea
that it would be reflected in the cleo
tOraI representation Of the two states,
but it is not. Each has nine electors,
and each will have nine electors in
this years contest, though California
has fully five times as many voters as
South Carolina at the present time,
taking into account the restrictions on
the suffrage which the Palmetto state
has established.
In proportion to the total number Of
votes cast Pennsylvania has a much
larger representation in the electoral
college than New York, though the
two states have great deal in common
politically and commercially and the
qualifications of voting are substan-
TALLY the same in both. a presiden-
tiaI eIector in New York represents, on
the basis of the vote Of four years ago,
1900 votes. A Pennsylvania electOr
represents 1900 votes only. Kentucky
had at the last presidential election
5000 more voters than Massachusetts,,
but Massachusetts, had two more cleo
tors than Kentucky.
A more fragrant difference is found
in the comparison between the vote Of
Washington and Mississippi. Wash
ington cast $1,000 votes and had four
electors; Mississippi cast 10000 votes

The complaint that Gov. Roosevelt
was too hasty in sending militia to the
scene Of the Croton Dam strike calls
attention to the growing disposition to
use the bayonet in cOercing labor to
yield to the terms on which capital
offers employment. The militia should
never be summoned, except as a last
resort, when every other legitimate
means Of preserving order has been
tried without success. As a matter Of
fact, there has very rarely, if ever, been
real occasion for ordering the militia
to the scene Of labor troubles. In most
instances, the difficulties could have
been terminated by the local autho-
rites, had they shown q willingness to
deal fairly with labor, and not act
merely as the tools and GRAND boys Of
capital Should Mckinley be re-eIect-
ed and Roosevelt be reelected, there
would be no hesitation, it is certain, in
using the militia arm Of the fedral
government in putting down labor agi-
tatiOn. Roosevelt might vary the mo-
nOtOny Of vice-presidential sOmnOlence
by dashing about at the head Of the re-
gulars and SpOtting" unarmed strikers
when they had their backs turned, and
thus he would be enabled to relate a
few more stories of his wonderful
courage In shooting down the unresist-
ing. The WOrkingman who votes for
Mckinley and Roosevelt viii only have
himself to blame if his work thereafter
shall have to be done under the shadow
of the bayOnet, ever ready to prod him
should he show any sign of indepen-
dence.-NeW York News.

and had nine electors There were in
the last presidential election only six
states casting less than 5000 votes
each. Five Of these had three electors
only, the smallest number which can
be accorded any state. One, Florida,
had four electors, though its total
vote was less than that Of South Da-
kOta, which had three
A curious similarity In representa-
ton is shown on the other hand by
two states in different parts Of the
country, New Hampshire and South
Dakota. Each cast 5000 votes at the
last election and each had four cleo
tors. New Hampshire is one Of the
oldest Of the states; South Dakota is
one Of the newest. West Virginia at
the election four. years ago cast 1000
more votes than Alabama, and it has
only six representatives in the cleo
toral college, whereas Alabama has
eleven. Connecticut cast Il, 600 votes
more than Georgia, but Connecticut
has only six votes in the electoral col
Iege and Georgia with a smaller actual
electorate has twelve. Nebraska, with
$4,000 votes, and Louisiana, with 1O1,-
600, have the same votes in the cleo
toraI college and Iowa with 81, 900 has
the same representation as Georgia
with 10000.

NOT AS RICH AS REPORTED.
Dom Paul Kruger Is Not the LordIy
Capitalist He Is Generally
Pictured.

One of the South African papers hav-
ing published an exaggerated account
of the worldly possessions of President
Paul Kruger, a London journal has IN
dertaken to get at the truth as to his
wealth. It is generally admitted that
the head of the TransvaaI rebellion is
the POssessor of valuable property, en-
titlinE him to the rank of millionaire,
but that his real estate is worth sbe-
tween eI9,OOOOOO and e2OOOOOOO" even
the most eTedUlOUs would be Ioath to
take in without a grain of salt The
South African paper goes on to state
that she owns $50 freehold farms, many
Of them on the Main reef, which he
would not allow to be worked, - but it
is to be remembered that there are not
a great number OF farms on the Main
reef altogether. He Is, however, known
to have sold one farm for $4,000. He
Is said to be the largest land owner in
Rustenburg district, and the largest
shareholder in the Netherlands rail
way, dynamite concessions and Hath
erley distillery. This may be true, al
though there is 10 confirmation Of it.
As regards bis alleged OVpership Of a
large and valuable estate SO Cape Col
Ony, one IN Holland, aud also one in
Germany, little IS known, but it is gen
orally believed that be has taken care
to invest IN property that cannot easily
be touched By the imperial power He
IS credited with having two millions in

ing n that security amounts to there
are no data to 60 upon, as it is in the
form OF bearer securities, whose own
ership could only be estimated.
