After each presidential electioi. there are many discussions upon the method of conducting those elections, and various plans are proposed to better the present ar rangement by the electoral college, xhe most popular of these plans is to change to a direct vote of the people, irrespective of state lines, The St. Louis Globe-Democrat gays upon the subject that a few inomeut3' intelligent thought,hoTv -ever, will convince two out of every three sensible people that a change to the latter meihod would not be desirable. The Philadelphia Times, which is one of the advo cates of the popular-vote system, &ays that a "direct vote for Presi dent and Vice President would not only end the now jreat and steadily growing debauchery of close States, but it would end ail apprehensions of dispute as to the election.'' This is a singularly mistaken view of the matter. A direct vote might "end the great and growing debauchery," in such iStates as New York, Indiana, New Jersey, and Connecticut, where it is aiost in vogue under the present system, but it would transfer it to other parts of the State whose re turns are low er in coming in. In all cases wkere the aggregate of the returns, as far as obtained within tenor.twelve 'hour after the elec tion, appeared to be close, there be the stiongest sort of a temptation for campaign managers to tamper with the votes in the States and districts yet to be heard from. The party which seemed to be ahead would use all its endeavors to keep its lead, while the other party would be equally industrious in its efforts to get ahead. This would furnish the opportunity for "fine work'" in a thousand places, aiid this opportunity would not be neglected. The party which had the most money and most astute and unscrupulous managers would have a big advantage over the other under the system of choice by popular vote. This is one of the evils which would resuit from the adoption of the method of elec ting the President by direct vote of the people. Here is anothei : The election could not be known definitely for several days or weeks after the votes were cast. Every body in the United States who was within the reach of a telegraph o.'ice knew, or could have known, at midnight of the day when the voting took place that Renjamin Harrison was elected. Many days have passed since then, and it is not yet. certain w hether he or Cleveland ha obtained a plurality of the opiilar vote. There is a i robability, of coursa, that Harri son is ahead, but this is not defi nitely known yet, nor can it be for two or three weeks to come, Thete were over 10,000,000 votes cast in 1834, and CleTeland's plur ality was only about (fc'.OOO, while of the !,000,000 ballots deposited in 1880, Garfield's plurality was but 9,000. Although the fact that Garfield had a majority of the elec toral college was learned all over the country within six hours after the polls closed, nobody knew un til about a month later whether he was in the lead or not on the popu lar vote. Doubt and suspense througheut the country for three r four weeks after a Presidential election as to the result of that election would be intolerable. The present system of choosing the President is cumbrous and an tiquated aud should be abolished, but the adoption of the popular I vote plan in its stead certainly would nt be an iniprovement. OREGON'S a no WTII. The total vote of Ore .con t.Ms year was 61J1R. Tn 1S84 the a--greate of the vote for Blaine and Cleveland was 51,544; so that Ore gon appears to have gained over 10,0C0 votes in the last four years, which means ?a addition lo her population of i. early, if n.-t rpiita 53,000. Politically considered, the grow th, has been largely Kepublic&n, as Harrison's plurality over Cleve land was 670:), as against a plural ity of ii2o() for Blaine over Cieve tand. With these figures in view, and bearing in mind the Congres sional election in June, it can be hardly denied that the principles of protection has gained a firm foothold in Oregon, and that re venae rexroru after the Mills pre scription is a close that the people uf that State will not take. But Oregon has grown in other respects as well as in her popu- iLiuu anu in u:o uociniies oi .ue publicanism. There has been a steady and harmonious develop ment of her natural resources and a constant accession to her wealth and importance. She has added greatly to her railroid facilities during the last few years, and has come into direct communication with the East and with California by means of railways, so that she has entirely overcome the isolation which formerly characterized her and seemed t j put her outside the .s.slci'iiood of states. No longer "rolls the Oregon and hears no sound save her own dashings," but from mouth to source the noole river of the Wet is all alive with varied industries, and the waters which were once unbroken save by the dip of the paddle or the sharp prow of the canoe are now churned and lashed into seething foam by the wheels of the numerous steamers of all kinds that ply upon the mighty stream. Oregon has before her a brilliant oiture. She is richly endowed with vast stores of natural wealth, which need only the magic wand of capital, properly applied, to convert into a source of immense profit to their fortunate possessors. She has abundant room and to spare for a large population, and the indications are that she has be gun to be appreciated at her true value. The next census will show we think, that Oregon has almost doubled her population since 1S80, and that upon Congressional re apportinment she will be entitled to at least one more member of Congress. S. F. Chronicle. Fur the Holidays. Among the business houses of the city none has a more brilliant display of elegant holiday goods than Messrs. I'oshay & Mason. Their liHe of fine plush goods,toilet cases, albums, souvenirs, richly bound books and holiday novelties is larger than ever before, and the extremely low prices at which they are sold probably accounts for the great rush daily at their store. Every available space is filled with beautiful holiday wares, in an al most endless variety. The immense sale of Chamberlain's Couifh Remedy has been produed to a Sicat extent by people who have been cured by it telling their friends and neighbors of its jood finalities and urgiusr them to try it. The most se vere cold will soon yield to it? sootli iny: effects.
