Buy q bundle of old papers at

Mr. Thos. Fitch, who was chos-
en- one Of the four presidential
electors in South Dakota will go
down to Pierre next week to cast
his ballot for William Mckinley
for president and Theodore
Roosevelt for vice president. As
the mode Of election under the
electoral college system is not
generally understood the follow
ing article from the Youth S Com
panion will be of interest:
Although it is already decided that
Mr.. Mckinley is to be president for
another term Of four years, he has not
yet been elected. The election will
take place on Monday, January 18th,
when the electors chosen by each state
will meet at the respectiv' state capi-
tails and cast their votes.
In the theory of the Constitution,
electors of president and vice-presi-
dent are state officers. Consequently
every state may have it's own peculiar
customs and regulations concerning
the meeting of the electors. But the
electors must all meet and vote on a
day specified by act of congress and
and the method of their certifying the
result Of the vote is also prescribed by
law. In practise, the customs in the
several states have gradually APP
preached uniformity.
The electors, having been chosen
and having received certificates of
election, usually assemble at the state
house on the Saturday before the
election, and organize by the choice
of a president and secretary. On the
day fixed for the election they give
their votes, and in most states they
vote both by ballot and viva voce.
The state in some cases provide elab-
orately engraved ballots, and as the
elector drops his ballot into the box
he uses some such form as this:
81 cast my vote for William Me-
Va Slllos III PICo1OChu VI VIC
United States y
When the votes have been counted
and the result has been declared,
certificates are prepared, signed by
each elector, and sealed securely.
One of the certificates is sent by mail
to the president of the senate: one is
transmitted to him by messenger ap-
pointed for the purpose, who makes
the journey to Washington in order
to deliver it: the third copy is deposit
ed with the judge Of the district court
for the district in which the electors
assemble.
The law provides that the states
may pass laws to verify the choice of
electors, in case the result is contest
ed: and it also establishes rules for
settling disputes that may arise in
connection with the counting Of the
votes. Fortunately, there is no ques-
tion of either kind this year. The
counttakes place on the second Wednes-
day in February, which this year will
will be the thirteenth of the month.

issippi and line that ran north be-
tween Leech and Winebigoshish lakes
to the Lake of the Woods. The pop
ulation Of all this domain, according
to the census ofl8OO, was only $500, 600,
and out of it were carved only sixteen
states. Except to a few active states
men and some political philosophers
the affairs of the late British colonies,
the birth throes of the Constitution
and the successful launching of the
Federal Republic attracted about as
much attention in Europe as Colon
bian or Venezuelan revolution does
nowadays. But the "Young Giant
of the West was finding himself.
John Adams was just closing his
somewhat stormy administration.
The electoral college had met, and in
failing to elect his successor under the
then constitutional provisions had
thrown the election into the house,
where few weeks later it was to take
Jefferson thirty-six ballots to keep
Aaron Burr out OF the presidency.
Political issues had largely turned on
the relations of this country to France
and England. Citizen Genet, the X.
Y. 4. paper, jays treaty and the
alien and sedition laws had filled the
press and the public mind. There
was the seed of the democratic party
in the republican party that contained
the body Of the pro-French extremists,
| and there was the old Federal party
about to pass forever out of power
with Adams. Slavery as an issue had
hardly arisen. But slavery as an in
stitution, apparently dying out at the
time of the formation of the Consti-
tuition, was reviving under the in
fluence of the inventions of Arkwright,
Hargreaves, Cartwright, Watt and
Whitney.
Conventions and platforms and the
complicated political machinery of
these days We're still far off; but there
are traceable ia the press and letters
and pamphlets of the e.,day the same
phenomena Of extremism and conser-
vatism, of unreasonableness and reas-
onableness, of demagogy and sound
argument, of untold fuss over non-es-
sentials and slow comprehension of
the essentials that characterize mod
ern agitation and discussion. But the
enchantment lent by distance has soft
ened the rough and uncouth forms.
The envy, malice, self-seeking and
other littlenesses have been lost in the
perspective, and only what deserves to
live is kept in sight. But while hu-
scrutiny of those times induces the be-
lief that on the whole even politics
have changed for the better, that de-
mocracy is mastering its lesson, and
that those who look back upon us a
century hence will find in us much to
commend that was wanting even in the
days of Jefferson and Hamilton and
Madison. In material things, in edu
cation and general culture, in philan-
thropy and humanity; in all things
that can be measured by statistics, by
schoolhouses or hospitals, by books
and pictures, the advance has been
marked. Only the unreasonable
things like political morality, religious
feeling and good breeding furnish
food for pessimism. It would be re-
markable if all these unreasonable
things had been retrogressing while
everything else had gone ahead so
fast. Reason and evidence are against
it.-Pioneer Press.
