THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON THUEsPAY. CROSBY 5. NOYES... THE EVENING STAR bas a regular and permanent circulation in Washington three times larger than that ef any other paper tm the city. As a local NEWS poper and Advertising 3. has ne competi Vermont furnishes abie opposing arguments om the subject of national elections by ex-Sen- ator Edmunds and ex-Minister Phelps in the February Forwn. The former treats the topic from the standpoint of a national peril and takes a pessimistic view. The latter advocates ehange in the mode of elections to accord with ‘the assumed wants of the times To the exSenstor tho Michigan gerrymander is #0 abouinable that he sees no good im ‘the district or proportional mode of choos- ig our Presidents. On the other hand, so enamored is the ex-minister that he fails alto- gether to take note in his admiration of the ‘Michigan plan of its unconstitutional feature, the division of the state into two districts at | Jarge, Mr. Edmunds is so much of a| state rights man that he would lot the work of the fathers stand. Mr. Phelps is so anxious to have « popular lection that he would extend the Michigan system to the Union. It is to be observed im- Partially that if the system is good for Michi- gan it ia good for the entire republic. It seems to Tus Stax, with all deference to the great | eonstitutionist from Vermont, that the state ean “appoint the electors” just as well by per- mitting the vote of the districts to be rendered es cast as by awarding to the candidate having the highest number of districts the full elec- toral vote of the state. The subject is one of vital interest, and it is noteworthy that the ad- voeste of progress is a democrat of the old sebool while the advocate of conservatism isa republican of republicans, and that botb are from the same state. Messrs. Edmunds and Phelps discuss the qeestion as publicists and not apparently as partisans. It is to be added to the latter's article that the district mode of voting if gen- eral would operate at present in favor of the democratic party. It might easily happen, bowever, that xf the republican national ticket was a “good average” one it might carry so of the very districts which for local reasons went democratic. And in a course of years the system would work as well for one party as another. At any rate if New York, the greatest state in the Union, divided its vote it would not be, nor would any state be a piv- otal state and the effect of this would be to pu- rify our politics and avoid some of the dangers | incurred under the existing system which Mr. Edmunds has so ably presented in his!

The Congressional | vistors, who will leave Washington tomorrow | afternoon, are notified in advance not to be timid about the trip at all—that the lake city | will not subjugate the wills of the aforesaid | visitors by blandishments, and that the only} purpose of the invitation is to enable the | men who have to voie on the questions arising | , sat of the fair to do so with full in- formation, to be best obtained on the spot. in advance by the voter himself. Cinieago’s invitation to Congress to be her guest while inspecting the preparations for the World's Fair represents hospitality on a mam- moth scale that would be contemplated by no wher city. It is not officially a Worid’s Fair mterprise. It is the purely local interest in the success of the big exposition that prompts ‘& Tbe Senators and Representatives are to ve the guests, not of the officials of the Fair, out of the citizens and the clubs. That the visitors will be handsomely entertained foesas @ matter of course. But a valuable practical object will also be attained in familiar- wing the Congressmen with the exact workings wf the Fair. All books will be open to their mspection and no pains will be spared in ac- yaainting them with all the details of construc don. All are assured a welcome regardless of ibe attitude assumed regarding the exposition, «nd when the World’s Fair comes up for dis- russion there will be not the slightest excuse ‘or any man’s not knowing precisely what the nerits of the subject are. +2 ‘The United States Senate yesterday in two vets showed its friendliness for the republic of Mexico. It adopted « resolution for the re- yarn to the Mexican government of the battle lags captured during the war with Mexico— \ graceful action, worthy a great nation. The fenate also postponed indefinitely, without a vord of opposition, Senator Quay's resolution instruction to the foreign relations com- mittee to inquire into the advisability of uc- qsiring the northern states of Mexico, against which proposition the committee was unani- nous. Theseare the days of amity between be first of American republics and her younger vd smaller sisters, since Chile did the honor- ible thing in the Baltimore affair. May these {ays continue! With Mexico there are stroug special inducements to sisterly relations. re Congress is disposed to hesitate about extend- ‘Bg assistance to Russian famine sufferers, but s willing to give the czar points as to the man- ‘@ement of the Hebrews in bis dominions.
