Pittsburg Commercial G aiette. The Republican papers throughout the state are beginning to agitate the method of nominating candidates for congress and state senate next year. In a number oi districts tho old throe-by-three conferre.- system is still in vogue, and there is a strong and well-nigh unanimous demano among the newspapers for its abolition. It is responsible for party disaster in many instances and for narrow escapes from dis aster in others. In view of the inherent evils of the system the last Republican state convention recommended that it be done away with, and that nominations be made by conventions made tnpon a basis of the Republican vote of the several conr ties composing tho district. The Willismsport Gazette and Bulltiti urges that action be taken at once looking to a change of method in the Sixteenth district. It says that distriot was nearly lost to the Republicans last year because a deadlock three by-three conference pre vented a nomination until within a few days of the election. The Republican chairmen of the Eighteenth district wiil meet at Harrisburg January 7th to formu late some plan that will give ail the coun ties their proper influence in nominating conventions. The Tioga county Repub lican committee some time ago unani mously denounced the old conferree sys tem as unrepublican and a breeder of dis cord, and appointed a committee to con with similar committees from other coun ties of the district with a view of securing a change. The experience in the Twenty-fifth din. trlot last year gave the people over there a forcible object lesson on the conferre? plan, and oommittees have since been try ing to agree on some more satisfactory and equitable method. The judicial deadlock in the Bedford-Somerset district this fall, and the prolonged and distracting struggle for the nomination for congress in the Twentieth district in 1890 ought to be suf ficient to ooom the mischievous system in the eyes of the people in that section. The recommendation of the state con vention ought to be aoted on throughout the state- Where committees of confer ence have not been appointed they should be named without further delay in order that a conclusion can be arrived at before the time for making nominations again comes around. BIMILAB TROUBLE IN ANOTHER DISTRICT. Williamaport Gaiette and Bulletin. The question of nominating candidates for congress by the conferree system or otherwise remrins as yet unsettled, This district came near losing its Congressman to the Democrats in 1890, owing to the de adlock conference preventing a nomina tion being made until a few days before the election The system was heartily condemned at the time, and there wat strong talk of effecting a change that would be more satisfactory. The matter was suggested to the other counties in the district, but as yet no aotion has been taken. .Next year the sum* difficulty will confront the party. Why not talc a time by the forelock and revise the system in abvance, so that the same risk will not attend nominations hi the futuref This is a pertinent question, and should reoeive early consideration. SHOULD BB BNODGH. Sharpsville Advertiser. The several Republican county commit tees of this Congressional district appear to be at loggerheads, and eaj.iot agree upon a plan making a change in nomiuat- j ing a candidate. They *vtli meet again ( Jan. Otn and make another attempt. It seems to us that the true method is j the popular vote system. The statement that this mode is more oofrup* taau tae delegate system cannot bo veriiiod. If it is, then the members of the Republican party in this district must be male up ot' *n aggregation of base corrupUoiusU. au 1 they do not deserve success. Ttie fa suit af the last nominating convention, wu i .ieyeral of the delegates in jail, should c > enough to demauda from mo dele gate system. Let u* see it tho (jommitt.ee. .tre wise enough to do it. Let the voters, the source of power, niaxe tho decision, tad if a mistake i» made u'< one will ba to .name. POR P. 8. SENATORS TOO. In the Senate last week, Mr. Tarpie opened the speech-making with au able pica for the election of Senators by a popular vote, thus placiug tho rosponsi bility in the premises where it belong*, directly upon tbe people, and not upon the Legislative "delegates." Senator Turpie, after an historic sketch of the organisation of the Government, declared that there was nothing in the history of the American people that should induce Senators to check the movement, or to distrust it, or to disallow its just in fluence in the multiplication of tbe origin al terms of the Federal compact. In con clusion he said: "We are preparing for the exhibition of a splendid international page tut, commemorative of the discovery ami settlement of this continent. It would be most felioitous should we signalize it by the submission and adoption oi tbis amend ment—thus publishing to this grnnd coun cil of the world's commerce and exoiiaugo that the great Repnblic of the West hat', given to its people direct control of the legislative department of the Government.'' At the close of Mr. Turpie's speech the oint resolution was referred to tho Com mittee on Privileges and Elections. DALZKLL ON THE BLBCTION OP U. 8. SENA TORS. At the meeting ot the Now England | Society in New York, a few days ago, to , celebrate the 271 st anniversary of the land ing of the Pilgrim Fathers. Congressmnu John Dalsell of Pa. who, as a newcomer received a warm welcome, and gave as the last toast: "New England in Congress in Early Days." He said ia part: There are two or threo thoughts connect ed with the relation of early New England to our system of government of which I would speak in very brief terms and mere ly by way of ontline. The conception is a Tankee one of an instrument in writing which, covering the whole field of government, should secure liberty by defining tho limits of power. For my part I much prefer tho originn idea of a writteu constitution as a chart u!' government to the modern inodstrosity of our day, which, under the name constitu tion, gives to us a 'code of laws. Provision -,vas made therein for repro sentation in ono House from townships, and in tho other from the people of tie whole State. Aud thi* Now Eugland ide known to hi.-tory as tho Connecticut tiom promise by-adoption and adaptation result.-.; the scheme Bhicf. uiikes one Bouse iL rapres unlives to-day of the people of t! t. districts and the other the reprosjutariv <-. of the £uties. I would tha» our constitution makers hr. even followed their model more cloud;. . I wouid that they bad made Senators t, o representatives of tho States; but OIIOM ~ by the people of the States without inter po-dug between the oleotcr and his Sena tor tbe uncertain and oftentime servile ai d oorrupt vote of a State Legislature. And so far as that is concerned I soe no reason why a machine ridden and boss riddt u people, if any there should be, should u > even go back, or forward, rather, to tho Connecticut plan. New England's strongest mark on the Federal Constitution is the clause givii.ft national control to the regulation of com merce. THE Peaujj.vaaia K.

Ece. iii, 2 For a thonsand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.—Psalms, xc, 4. The year which is just uow saying fare well to the world has borne itself toward the Ampricnn people with generous court esy. Indeed, if we recall the war clouds which throw their deepening shadows over so many other nations we are hall in clined to add that the year has shown something like favoritism in dealing with ns. From the sea to the Rrckies no bugle blast disturbs our serenity; from the Rock ies to the »ea our fields have teemed with plenty, and though a resounding din fills the air it does not come from the brazen lips of artillery, but from our busy manu factories—the battlefields on which the victories of peace are won. So bid the old year a grateful farewell, and extend the hand of welcome the new | year —185*2. The National Convention of this year will be held June 7th, and as the delegate* to it must be elected at least one month before it convenes, or May 7th, the State convention which will name the delegates at-large, will have to meet before that time, and it will probably be held on Wednesday May 4th, or on one ot the pre ceding Wednesdays, which will necessi tate au early county primary this year. We sec no reason why the State conven tion should be held before the week begin ning May Ist, and when the date for it is fixed our County Committee will fix the date for our primary. T. C.
