Spain has showed her unfitness to rule
that Island, and uecordlng to the moral

compensation.
The Useless Electoral College.
It Is siKnlficant of a growinc restless
ness with present forms that so conser
vative a journal as the Philadelphia
T-edger pleads for a sixteenth amend
ment to the constitution doing away
with the election of presidents
ly means of an electoral college. It
makes an earnest argument In favor of
the direct election of presidents by
popular vote, and calls attention to the
fact that so lone as the present sys
tem prevails it is both possible and
rustomury for a minority in the popu
lar vote to form a majority in the elec
toral division and thus Invalidate the
fundamental prim inle upon which our
government was founded.
This year, fortunately, is an excep
tion; and yet, as we pointed out th
other day, although McKlnley had more
than 1,000,000 popular majority, a total
change of less than ?6.000 votes could
have been so distributed among the
nine closest McKlnley states as to have
elected Urynn by an electoral vote of
231 to 210 for the choice of a large ma
jority of the Individual citizens of the
republic. There rarely has been n case
when public sentiment as expressed
through the ballot box was so over
whelmingly on one side as It was on
JlcKlnley's side last week, and yet, as
it proved, a change in opinion of less
than one-flve-hundredth of the total
number of voters could have altered the
result and swayed the government
from a pathway of safety and honor
to one of uncertainty, repudiation and
very probably chaos. This Is the fact
which stands out In the operation of
the electoral college from the moment
of its adoption to the present time
namely, that It has hindered rather
than helped a free and candid popular
choice and that it has not done any
thing In the way of a counterbalancing
SelTlce.
Whether It will be possible within the
lifetime of this generation to effect
Fiuh an amendment of the constitution
is another question, concerning which
wo do not care to hazard a prediction.
Hut if auoh an amendment Is carried
through, It ought also to provide for a
single presidential term of six years,
with eligibility to re-election only af
ter an Interval of at least six years,
Then the adjustment of this presiden
tial puzzle would be about right.
It Is stated that Major McKlnley has
chosen his cousin, William McKlnley
Osborn, of Itoston, to act as his private
pecretary after his Inauguration as
president. Mr. Osborn Is a man of ripe
judgment and discretion. He will lift
the position up to a plane of unusual
usefulness.
Where Credit Is Due.
We quite agree with Colonel liufler,
cf the liuffalo News, that "the Amer
ican people owe no man today a great
er debt of gratitude, than that duo to
the able, modest man who owns and
edits the great paper of the west
the Chicago Tlmes-Heruld. The debt
of gratitude for service well rendered
at a critical time Is made more bind
ing by the declaration of Mr. Kohl
gnat, made since the election, that he
has no desire to All an oftlce. and
would accept no place In the cabinet
of his friend, Major McKlnley."
The part which Mr. Kohlsaat In di
rect personal effort and throush his
newspaper, played In the campaign
just ended was second to none In dis
cretion, perseverance and effectiveness.
Not epn Chairman Hanna In full di
rection of all the resources which at
tach to the ofllce of national chair
man, achieved more for victory In the
pivotal middle west than did this en
ergetic and determined Chicago ed
itor who has In only a little more than
a year won his way to the very fore
front of American journalism.
This la said the more readily be
cause the remarkable success which
Sir. Kohlsaat has achieved in politics
and journalism in that brief Interval
has been won fairly, honorably and by
clean, square, American methods. It
has not been achieved along a path
way of deception, broken promises and
humbug; It has been earned by hard,
capable and conscientious work spiced
at the top with the fine intuition which
for lack of a better word we call genius.
We have no motive In saying this
except to be fair. The only advantage
to us in Mr. Kohlsaat's success is that
it proves that It is wholly possible for
a man to be a successful Journalist
and also a gentleman.
And now It Is said Senator Butler has
the presidential bee. This boy orator
fever must be contagious.
Liquor Law Amendments.
As the time for the assembling of the
legislature draws near there Is renewed
discussion of the liquor problem. It Is
generally conceded that the present li
cense law stands in need of amend
ment. Upon this point friends of tem
perance and representatives of the
liquor Interests are agreed. A law
whose machinery of enforcement Is so
inadequate thut in one county Lu
rerne there are estimated to be a
larger number of speakeasies than li
censed places cannot be regarded as
Fatlsfactoty from any standpoint, and
the sooner there Is determined effort
to secure Its Improvement the better
will It be for the public revenues and
for public order.
Numerous suggestions of betterment
have been advanced, but probably none
which Involves a better principle than
the proposition to copy in Pennsyl
vunla the essential provisions of New
York's Raines law. This would take
from the local judiciary ell Jurlsdlc
tlor. over the license question and
would do away utterly with the much,
abuned factor of discretionary power
in granting licenses. 'It would permit
every man to engage In the liquor
trade who could pay for a license and
supply a bondsman; but it would com
pel the forfeiture of his grant In the
event of conviction for disobedience of
the statutory regulations. The issuing
of licenses and the enforcement of the
law would be put in the hands of a
state commission serving by appoint
ment, and it would therefore be more
difficult then than It is now for spe
cial interests to claim Immunity or
engage exemption from official inter
ference by means of political services
rendered or promised In local cam
paigns. The Kaines law has been on trial for
over a year in the neighboring state
and It has given excellent satisfaction.
It does away with favoritism in the
granting of licenses and It decreases
the liability to political manipulation
of the mechanism for the law8 en
forcement. No one will claim that it
Is a perfect statute or that It Is no
longer possible for "pull" to mislead
justice; but it Is claimed with seem
ing fairness by its sponsors that this
law has gone further to secure effec
tive and impartiul restriction of the
liquor traflle than any other license
law which has been devised up to the
present time. Whut is good for New
York ought to be equally good for
Pennsylvania, with minor modifica
tions made necessary by slightly differ
ent conditions. The suggested change
could hardly make a worse system
than the present one and in our Judg
ment it would be likely to make a
much better one. (
Senator Quay announces that he will
be in llarrisbui'B at the opening of
the legislative session. He will pvob
ably be in evidence there all through
the session. The senator does well to
put himself In direct communication
with his friends and udmlt'ers, and not
depend too much on Intermediaries.
Chairman Elkin's Work.
Tim dinner tendered In Philadelphia
last evening to State Chairman Klklns
was a graceful recognition of superior
service. It might carelessly be thought
that to direct a Republican campaign in
Pennsylvania, In a presidential year,
and especially with the issues drawn
as they were in the recent struggle,
would require but scant ability: that
the campaign would virtually run Itself.
Such an Impression would be exceed
ingly remote from the truth. As a
matter of real fact, it were far easier
to conduct a close contest than one
in which victory Is foreseen from the
beginning and conceded by foe us well
as friend.
In Chairman Klkin's case the diffi
culties with which he had to contend
Increased In direct ratio to the proba
bility of success. The campaign fund
at his disposal was the smallest on rec
ord. It barely suliloel to meet the ac
tual running expenses of the State
headquarters. In addition to that, ev
ery available speaker of prominence
who could be drafted by the National
committee was taken out of Pennsyl
vania and sent to the debatable terri
tory known as the middle west. The
result was that during most of the time
there was not a speaker of national
reputation at the command of the State
committee, and it had to meet local
calls for campaign oratory by appeal
ing to the generosity of men who do
not make a practice of political stump
speaking. At a time when there was
a widespread belief among political pro
fessionals in the boundlessness of the
Itepubllean campaign treasury, Chair
man Klkin was confronted by the ne
cessity of getting practical work done
throughout nn Immense territory with
out having at his command the
customary means with which to do it,
and the act that under these circum
stances a plurality was polled for Mc
Klnley nnd the national ticket In excess
of the 300.000 mark speaks volumes to
well-informed persons concerning his
efficiency as an organizer and a strate
gist. It was predicted last spring by those
who urged his selection as State chair
man upon the State convention at Har
rlsburg that Mr. Klkln would prove to
be the right man for that delicate and
responsible position. As one of his sup
purters then The Tribune takes pleasure
in pointing to the magnificent
record which ho has already
established for himself and for
the party; and welcomes this public oc
casion to offer to him its heartiest con
gratulations. Chicago's vote beat New York's 46,03..
Estimating five people to each voter.
it gives Chicago a population of 1.72S,-
875. The West will evidently have to be
reckoned with.
Wharton Barker's Platform.
The Irrepressible Wharton Uarker,
having at length concluded to concede
McKlnley's election, bravely advances
to the fore with a platform for 1900.
It comprises eight planks, the first two
of which declare for the free, unlimited
and independent coinage of silver and
gold at 18 to 1, and for government Is
sue and control of all paper money.
Plank three "demands such legislation
as will prevent the formation of trusts
and combinations designed to tax the
consumer on the one hand and the
wage earner on the other, and provide
means to discover over-capitalization
of corporations and enforce penalties
against such over-capitalization."
Plank four goes the whole distance to
ultra-Populism. It affirms it to be
"the duty of the government to see
that tho products of labor are Justly
distributed, that the many be not de
spoiled for the benefit of the few,"
and to the end that all producers shall
enjoy a Just recompense for their toll,
It "holds that It Is the duty of the gov
ernment to absorb and operate In the
Interest of the whole people all such
agents In the distribution of wealth as
tend, in the hands of private corpora
tions, to develop Into monopolies." It
furthermore "holds that oppression of
the people by such monopolies either
through the charge of exorbitant rates
for transportation or through discrim
ination on the part of our transporta
tion companies against some localities
and some Individuals, should not be tol
erated," and to the end that all pro
ducers may be accorded the same treat
ment and protected against unjust
charges, it "demands that the govern
ment own and operate our railroads and
telegraphs." The remaining planks
favor protection for industry and labor,
but not for trusts; call for careful re
striction of immigration; oppose the
sale of public lands to aliens and th3
ownership of public lands by aliens; and
declare for a thoroughly American pol
icy In foreign affairs.
This platform Is obviously-an im
provement upon the one on which
Bryan ran, for it makes no attack on
the supreme court, and does not ques
tion the sovereignty of the federal gov
ernment. If It would moderate Its sli
ver tone and call for more effective
federal regulation. Instead of outright
federal ownership of railroads and tele
graphs, It would not go fur astray.
Mr. liryan could never run on such a
platform, for he is a free trader.
Neither could the South support it, for
it, also. Is committed against protec
tion. Within the next four years th?
monetary question may be so far ad
vanced toward settlement by Interna
tional agreement as to take from the
foregoing declaration the chief pillar
on which It rests, and for the other re
forms which It proposes the public
knows enough to look, not to zealots
and enthusiasts, but to the conservative
and experienced statesmanship of the
Republican party.
It may be that our Judgment of Hon.
Ilourke Cockran Is at fault, and that he
really ia a star of the first magnitude
to whom President-elect McKlnley
should hasten to proffer the pick of all
tho positions soon to be within his
gift. It may be that his earlier asso
ciations and achievements when a
mere tool of Tammany at the rottenest
period of its malodorous history were
but the necessary background for a
new career of singular purity, sweet
ness and light. We trust that we are.
We sincerely hope that tho Hon. liourke
has become, within the year, a great
and good man. But Isnt It a little early
yet to take him Into the Inner sanctu
ary and bestow upon his person the
oil nnd ointment of high preference?
Aren't the fellows who are clacking In
his interest rushing the season Just a
trllle?
One of these days, when Don Camer
on Is politically dead and burled, a
whole lot 'of persons now shying brick
bats at his picture will perhaps ask
themselves why they acted ns they did.
Don luis made mistakes, but they have
been a gentleman's mistakes. There
have been many worse men than he
in thy United States senate; many who
have saved their bacon by hypocrisy
whethe preferred to act the man.

Jtisf a Word or Two
of Casdal Mention
"Here, chief, post this letter, please,"
said Mayor Halley to Chief Holding.
It was uddressed: ".Mr. so and so, No.
so and so, Kressler court, city."
Yesterday morning the man to whom It
was sent called on the mayor as requested
in the letter and when he was leaving h
took the envelope from his pocket. It wns
covered over with: "No such street In
the city," "Held for better directions,"
etc., etc. And there were enough stamps
on It to carry it to the South Pole.
Mayor Halley looked at the letter and
then began to think. "As sure as me
name Is Jim," snlil he, "tho chief took
this letter to Wilkes-Kurre with him and
mil I led it there." He ut once sent for the
chief nnd charged him with It. There was
a Wilkcs-IJurre postmark on it and the
chief had been down testifying in
the ISrown-Miller-Mangan-Judgc burglary
case.
The chief denied that he posted the let
ter, anil left the blame on Steve Dyer, who
saddled it on Lona Day. The only thing
that saved It from the dead letter office
was the crest of Chief Kobling on the en
velope. .
If the New York 'papers are to he be
lieved. Paderewskl's star has already
paled before the effulgent glow of the new
luminary Hosenthul. The latter, after
much heralding, has come, seen and con
quered. On all sides It seems to be agreed
that he Is by every odd the great pianist
of the century; and soon we shall no
doubt have a surfeit of gush over his
hair, his mannerisms and his miscellane
ous characteristics. It Is sad that there
is no law to Imprison the faddists who
make such Intolerable asses of themselves
over each new virtuoso; but in default if
capital or orner statutory punishment tcr
us try to suppress this particular kind of
arrant nonsense by appealing to rational
sentiment. Rosenthal, hy the bye, is ex
pected to appear this winter in Scranton.
Three years ngo Professor Coles, of
Kingston, asserted the possibility of col
lecting sunbeams by artillcial means -i ti 1
bottling them away as one would bottle
wine, to be used when wanted. His plnn
was to erect great reservoirs on the hill
tops nnd to distribute the condensed illu.
mination through phes to street lumps
and Individual consumers very much as
nas is now distributed. It was even said
that he had perfected an appliance In a
small way which had put this theory to a
successful test, although we cannot voiii-h
for this. The subject is mentioned nt this
time simply because a New York paper
the other day credited K.llson with work
ing along the same line, a circumstance
recalling the adage that great minds run
in similar channels.

One of the warmest admirer and sup
porters of Major McKlnley in the recent

AS INTKHF.STIX; STORY.
From the Philadelphia Times.
A statistical expert has examined the
records of the last census and presents
an interesting anil startling story of tno
recent national election in regard lo the
popidation, wcr.ith ami Illiteracy. It is
based on the lust t'nlted States census re
potts. There are 4i states, with a popu
lation of Tu.lSwi.ewi, and an industrial wealth
of JiM.Wi.mii.tMi, or an average per capita
of J'.tli); 2i states, with a population of 45.
EW.MW, voted for McKlnley. and I'D state.,
wies a population of ij.imc.lXH voted for
liryan. This shows that marly two.
thirds of the population are in states that
repudiated free silver. The total Indus,
trial wealth of these 2j .McKlnley stair
Is $l".:eil.717.!i7U. while the in liryan stales
have but ili;,(i.Si SM.VKvl, or about one-third
us much. The average amount of the ?j
MrKinliy states Is i!.d!ij.:!N.7ia. while the
-.'U Hryan states average but JVtl.ilia.l'W, or
a little less than one-half us much.
From un educational standpoint the sta
tistics show u still greater contrast. Just
Tl per cent, of the population of the silver
states are unable to read or write, while
but 7.o per cent, of the population of sound
money slates ure thus dellcient, showing
that there are three times as many Illiter
ates in the silver states as In the sound
money states. Figured out the lir .McKln
ley states have a population nearly twire
as large as the 2 Hryan states, yet they
contain but a,4wi.!i7j Illiterates to 5.4W,ilu
illiterates in the liryan states, us shown in

From the Philadelphia Itecord.
The crowning touch of grace to an ex
tremely bitter canvass a canvass, how
ever, happily devoid of offensive person,
ulltles has been given by the electric
current which conveyed to Mr. McKlnley
the hearty ungrudging congratulations
of his opponent, and which elicited In Hint
from the president-elect, with equally
gratifying promptness, his c-xuresston of
thanks nnd good wishes for .Mr. Bryan's
health and happiness. In these brief mes.
sagi'S, breathing a spirit of good will es
pecially belittlng the verge of the Thanks,
giving time, the world Is given a fine II.
lustration of the best spirit of American
manhood ns revealed upon the highest
plane of American politics.
There Is another significance In the cor
respondence in question which the cam
paign slang-wbnngers would tin well to
profit by, since Mr. Bryan's well chosen
words ure a complete answer to Insensate
talk about corruption and coercion which
befouled the conduct of the canvass. The
defeated candidate, with a manliness and
frankness which do him honor, squarely
recognizes In the result nn expression of
the will of the people. In bowing to that
supreme decree Mr. Bryan has exalted,
not humbled, himself In public estimation;
and he has set an example of respect for
law and order which should not be lost
sight of by the hot-headed uniting his fol
lowers. ADVICK TO TUT. COLON Kt.

HIS REVENGE.
He was hut a struggling artist, and a
haughty maiden she,
And he loved her oh, he loved her! but
his bride she would not be.
Then, so humble his affection, he im
plored her with n tear,
Just to let him paint her portrait for a
tender souvenir.
But the maiden cold and haughty e'en this
trilling boon refused.
And the artist mourned in silence his de
votion so abused.
But at last revenge woke In him. Never
more ten girl should boast her
Conqutst o'er the soul artistic! So he put
ncr in a poster.
Green and yellowish ho made her, flat
foot, goggle-eyed and spenamotis;
And she fainted when she saw it. But
