‘ THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: ---Mlareh 11, 1990, —a eas STAR bas the fullest Lecal Cireslation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other pupers published in Washington. ———————— New York Office: Reom 93, Tribune Building. The two parties in the country should reflect Sometimes that it is possible to sicken the People, some of whom belong to no party, by too zealous efforts to capture the next Con- gress aud the next President. The various ger- rymandering ahemes to get possession of the House of Representatives and hold it have been noticed in Taz Stan. There remains to be censidered a brand new “Ohio Idea.” It con- corns itself with the Presidency, and is fathered by Mr. Buchanan, a state senator, who has in- twodueed « bill which provides as follows: ‘There shall be two electors for President and Vico President chosen at large by the voters of the state of Ohio and the two persons who are candidates for said offices having the highest mumber of votes shall be declared elected. There shall be one elector for President and Vice President, chosen by the voters in each Congressional district of Ohio, as defined by ‘aw, and the person who is s candidate for said office receiving the highest number of votes shall be declared elected.” The author of this project fee “surely electing fifteen of twenty-three Presidential electors from Ohio” avers that it is based on clauses 2 and 4 of the 1st section of the second article of the United States Consti- tation, which reads: ‘Each state shall appoint in such manner as the legislature thereof may direct a number of electors,” &c, At present the electors are chosen everywhere on general tiaket, The proposition is to have only the electors for the state at large so elected, leav- mg the election of the district electors to the separate districts respectively. Formerly the state of South Carolina cbose the electors by legislative ballot. Whether Mr. Buchanan's scheme is constitutional or not would be matter for the courts, if it were contested, us it probubly would be. There is nothing in the Coustitution itself that expressly precludes its execution. The interference by Congress seems to be provided for in the third clause in two particulars only. That clause is as follows: “The Congress may determine the time of choosing the electors and the day on which they shall give their votes, which day shall be the same throughout the United States.” The adoption of this method of choosing electors would cause the Obio gerrymandcr to affect the Presidency as well as the con- trol of the House of Representatives, and con- gressional efforts to beat the gerrymander will, it is expected, be redoubled. —<$<—<—<— “Does Tae Stam charge that Congress is attempting to break down the merit system? ‘TuE Srax must answer in the affirmative if it escape self-conviction of intentional falsebood.” Washington Post. ‘Taz Stan does not think that the House by ordering an investigation, largely at the re- quest of the commissioners, who have expected benefits to result to the merit system from the inquiry, bas attempted to break down that sys- tom. Tur Sram does think that its cotem- porary, which is of the opinion that the clerks in a department should change as often as its head changes, which has treated violations and evasions of the civil service law as fruits of the law for which the merit system is responsible, apd which has suppressed and distorted facts im ite task of supplying weapons to the spoilsmen, has attempted to break down the merit system. Tax Stam also thinks that the Post bas failed in the issues which it made with the commissioners, that the facts have de- veloped uuder oath just as they were declared te be by the commissioners in their public statements before the investigation. and that the prosecution, so far as it hus affected the commissioners or the merit system, has been a waste of time, energy and money, Tur Svan thinks that its gotemporary hes Placed the gratification of personal ill-will and the desire of serving the spollsmen above the Gietatesof regardeither for the welfare of ‘Washington or of the public service, and that new, appreciating that bad policy. it 1s dis- tributing desperately and recklessly upon all who displease it the logic and vocabulary of the fishwife. This frank disclosure of Tux Stan's thoughts is made in response to its co- temporary’s rude and peremptory demands. $$$ Biddeford, Maine, bad a row yesterday along | bodies, the line of its polling places over the voting of five hundred men whose naturalization papers had been declared iliegal by the municipal court The democrats, who asserted the right of these men to vote, were backed by the po- lice, while the republicans had the United States deputy marshals and the sheriff and his deputies on theirside. The democ-ats carried the election, which will be contested. The electoral problem is now the most serious one before the people of thiscountry. Our splen- did civilization with its traditions of freedom and its muniments of law and regulated liberty ought surely to be equal to the task of solving that problem in the spirit of justice and with due regard to the character of our institutions. Neither force nor fraud is a part of the Anglo- Saxon machinery of government There must be clear and honest determinations in the courts and if the determinations of these tribunals are not clear and honest then the people aggrieved must bide their time and re- verse the unjust action in ways provided by law. We really want in this country more observance of law rather than more law. The country is governed enough, the individual sbeuld govern himself more. Without self re- straint there cap be no real government of law. ‘The Mississippi is beyond ite banks, having broken down all the safeguards man and money have provided. The levee system evidently needs improvement, It works well in an ordi- nary food, but the present is extraordiuary aad the result is that large portions of Louis- jane are under water. The loss must be very great. Since 1365 Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas have spent $27,000,000 in keeping up the levees. There has been no break of any consequence since 1874, except in 1878 and "79, and the planters have enjoyed comparative im- munity from losses since 1874. Meantime the parish authorities, on whom devolve the prin- cipel care and charge, have been very busy in strengthening the defenses. The general gov- ernment has expended nearly two millions and ‘Uhree-quarters in this period on these levees. ‘The theory of government aid is the clearing out of the river's channel and not the protec- tion of the planters. The latter have there- fore borne the principal part of the cost. Alto- gether. it is said, the state of Louisiana has ex- pended $30,000,000 upon the levees, ——— Choke damp is s cause of much fatality in coal mines, The latest catastrophe is that in Moores colliery, Glamorganshire, Wales, where nearly two bundred lives are believed to be lest out of three hundred exposed to danger.
