THE HOME RIFLE BILL.

Home Rule all around" If not "Impe-
rial Federation" appears to be writ large
between the lines of Mr.. Asquiths Home
Rule bill. 1.-The first step in a larger
scheme Of devolution," the Prime Min
lister himself calls It; 10 be followed, we
may logically assume, by schemes Of
similar home rule for Scotland and
Wales, with parliaments at Edinburgh
and Carn8rvon. There can be no doubt
that such an arrangement may be strong
" advocated OH grounds Of practical con-
venience and utility; while 1t will as
certainly be condemned by those who re-
gard It as perilous thing to take apart
a national or a governmental edifice once
constructed. TO what extent the prom
ise OF an extension of the system will
win the support or dispel the opposition
Of other parts Of the United Kingdom re-
mains TO be seen; though it is scarcely
conceivable that it will have much effect
Of that sort in England.
Irish representation is TO be retained
at Westminster. That is token that
Ireland is still 10 remain part OF the
United Kingdom. since the Imperial Par
lament. so called, is really not imperial
but royal. and contains no representa-
tives of the empire outside Of the United
Kingdom. The Irish representation is,
however, 10 he so reduced I'm numbers
as to dlfferentiate Il as strongly from
the others by its paucity as it is now
differentiated by its superabundance.
At the present time the ratio Of repre-
sentatiOn for England and Wales is one
member for every $1,000 Of population
and for Scotland one for every $1,000,
while ireland has one for every $4,000.
Under the new scheme Ireland will have
only ~ members against 103 as now,
which will mean one for every 100000 Of
population. Yet these Irish representa-
tives will presumably have just the same
voting power, man for man. as their col
leagues on matters of imperial interest
in which Ireland Is as much concerned
as any other part of the kingdom. In
this there would seem 10 he certain In
justice to Ireland; for which perhaps
compensation is to he found in other di.
rectious.
The fiscal problem is dealt with In a
somewhat complicated manner. The
Irish government will not be permitted
to NEEDLE with the income tax or the
stamp and estate duties. But it may re-
duce or discontinue other imperial taxes,
except, apparently. the excise and GUS
toms duties, which it may modify. but,
save in the case Of liquors. it may not in
crease them more than 10 per cent. That
will not permit Ireland TO establish that
protective tariff system which many Of
her economists have held TO be essential
to restoration of her oldtime Industrial
prosperity. Moreover, while Ireland may
to some extent modify her tax rates. the
collection Of all taxes will remain an i'm.
perial function The Dublin government
may prescribe what the taxes shall be
but the Westminster government will
have the collecting of them and will
turn them all IN to its own treasury.
from which yearly subsidy will, be re-
turned to Ireland. In this arrangement
there will be opportunity for friction and
embarrassment.

ELIMINATING THE CONTESTANTS

ELIMINATING THE CONTESTANTS.
Those who have been trying 10 ac-
count for the exceptional tranquility Of
the Republican State Convention nj
Rochester, or what Chairman Barnes
described as "the dignity Of its proceed
ings," have overlooked one important
influence due to the changes made I'm
the state election laws. That IS tho
abolition Of contests and the elimina.
ton Of the struggles for recognition
before credentials committee which
used TO furnish large measure Of the
excitement and disorder attendant upon
party gatherings. Under the old system
the state committee and the credentials
committee, 10 which was intrusted the
task Of making up and passing upon the
convention roll, possessed plenary pow
crs, and their decision rs 10 how the
voters Of county or Assembly district
wanted themselves represented some
times superseded any Indications which
might have been given one way or an
other by the voters themselves
Thomas T. Grady once spoke, half
boastfully, half regretfullY. Of the dirt
lest days work" I'm his career, when ms
chairman Of the credentials committee
Of the Democratic State Convention OF
1906 he created nj Murphy's orders n
majority which would consent TO The
nomination Of Mr.. Hearst. That feat
has been duplicated on a smaller scale
IN many other political conventions, and
the possibilities left open to unscrupu-
lous politicians under the old system
introduced desperate gamblers risk
which might he taken advantage of In
any fractional crisis.
But now that the contesting delegate
and the "sure thing" method Of creating
representation while convention waits
have passed away party gatherings
must become duller and more decorous
Whatever may be thought Of the new
system In other respects, New York
should congratulate itself that there IS
no more dirty work" for Grady to
do here. because there is no longer a
convention roll 10 manipulate. We can
well spare the Fictitious excitement
which has been lost under tho new
order

SIZE or THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE,.

Ii is surprising to find questions raised
at this late day concerning the size OF
the Electoral College which is to choose
the next President. Yet curiously
enough publishers are issuing summaries
and maps and tables, prOfeSsedly based
on official statements from Washington,
which make the present House OF Rep
resentatives the prime factor in the
problem instead Of the House 10 be
elected next November under the new ap-
portionment. These calculations make the
number of electoral votes 400 instead OF
591, which is the total of the combined
membership of the Senate and House
as fixed by the new apportonment. One
corporation issuing such tabulation re-
piled, when the error was called TO its
attention, that the Clerk Of the House
of Representatives, the chief clerk Of
the United states Senate and an official
communication from the Department of
State had all given the number OF
electors TO be chosen this fall as 400.
And now IL is reported that ruling IS
TO be asked from the Department Of
Justice.
IL the officials quoted did really make
themselves responsible for this misin-
formation. IL must have been in Il mo-
ment of mental alteration. The argu-
ment made in support of the idea is
that as the number Of Senators and
Representatives at the time of the cleo
ton will be 400. the electors then chosen
must be 400. and that as the Represent
atives under the new appOrtionment
Will not take office until March 4 next,
after the electors have performed their
functions and when the new President
also takes office, the new appOrtionment
will not affect the Electoral College un-
iii 1916. This view at once ignores the
text of the statute and the precedent Of
previous Presidential, elections. Section
49, Of the Revised Statutes of the
United States provides:
The number Of electors shall be equal
to the number of Senators and Represen-
tatives 70 which the several states are
BY law entitled at ne time 5chen the
President and President 10 DC
chosen come into office: except, that
where no apportionment has been made
after any enumeration at the time OF
choosing electors, the number OF electors
shall be according TO the then existing
apportionment Of Senators and Repre-
sentativeS.
This has been the law since 1872, and
in every election since when an appor-
tionment has been made following a
census the states have been represented
in the Electoral College according TO
The size OF the prospective, not the ex-
istipg Congress Tins, In 1912 the elect
ors numbered 21S, though the Congress
which was to expire March L. 1913. con
sisted Of only IT'S Senator's and Repre-.
sentatiyes. In 1882, though the mem
bership Of the two houses was 2Gl, the
electors chosen numbered 2SS, to con-
form to the apportionment based on the

HIGH PRICES HIT CLERGY HARD
Troy Methodist Conference Urges Need
of Larger Salaries.

Saratoga Springs. n. Y, April n.-That
the clergy have suffered more severely
than any other class from the increased
cost Of living was the statement made
before to-day's session OF the Troy Meth
odlst Conference. which adopted resolu-
ton requesting the appointment OF a COM
mission, consisting of one minister in each
district, TO present the need Of larger
salaries before the church members OF the
conference.
Many churches. II was stated. have not
raised their pastors salaries In twenty
years, although the cost OF living has
doubled within that time. "Self-respect,
courage and holy power depend not on
the asceticism OF the medieval church. but
on reasonable supply of common neces-
sities OF nfe," the conference decided.
