Cold watr is leinj tliroun on
the srhi me. lo create a new tie
partmeut in the Cabinet bv many
papers throughout the country
The 5t. Loms Globe Democrat
thinks that as there is a. constant
pressure brought to bear on Con
gress to create new unices, to in
crease the governmental machinery
in order to make places for appli
cants, the consequences is that
every .possible excuse to that end
is seized upon. "The public good
is inevitably made the ground for
the demand. The interests of this,
that and the othor useful division
of labor are brought forward to
plead ior alleged .assistance, when
they do not need any aid, nor
could the Government give them
any, in all probability, if they did
There are "enough things in poli
tics now, without dragging agri
culture, mining, commerce, manu
factures aud science into them
in the shape of executive depart
ments at least. It is hard work lo
watch the contingent funds as it
is, without creating any more ol
them; and as to enlarging the
civil service in the way proposed,
that branch of the Government i.
cumbrous enough without making
unnecessary additions to it." With
due respect to Dr. Loriug and hit
friends, it must be said that they
represent a kind of paternalism
that is unrepnblican, and opposed
to the advanced but well-estab
lished principles of social science.
And it is a cheap kind of dema
gogy that attempts to make politi
cal capital by pretending to es
pouse the cause of agriculture.
Une might as well attempt to
espouse the law of gravitation.
Both will continue to prevail, and
will be affected neither way by
bureaus or departments.
A New Plan.
The usual amount of const it i
tional amendment goes on in tl is
session of Congress, and in relation
to the vexed question of Presiden
tial election and selection some
novel ideas are advanced. Gener
ally in discussing the question of
how to elect a president the argu
ment is put forward that the Elec
toral college should be disestab
lished, and the chief officer of the
Republic chosen by a direct vote
of the people.
A much more interesting propo
sition is that of a western ropr. -sentative,
not to do away witli the
electoral college, but make it more
important even than it is now.
He would have this body continue
in existence during the presiden
tial term, and, in case of the
"death, resignation or inability" ol
the President, elect his suceessor,
precisely as they elected " him in
the first place. This bill is strik
ing, and will excite general dis
cussion.
In the first place, it abblishe."
the office of Vice President. Un
der " ordinary circumstances the
Vice President is a mere figure
head, of no account iu the Govern-'
ment, and, under extraordinary
circumstances, he stands in a posi
tion which is intensely disagreca
ble to overy sensitive poison
that of waiting to step-into a dead
man's shoes. The abolition of thi
office has often been discussed,
even without reference to a change
m O
in the method of electing tin
President. Then,- again, his plan
is a return to the "ideas of the
fathers," of wliir.h we hear so much.
It was the notion of the framers of
the Constitution that the electoral
oollege would be a real body of
electors, who should exercise choice
in the' selection of the President.
Under the. unwritten law of party
rule, the electors are the mere
agents of the voters; or, rather, of
some nominating convention, and
exercising no discretion whatever.
If that 'amendment should be
adopted, they would undoubtedly
bar no nitre option "in the lee-
tion Of President after a general
election than they have now, but
on tlie death of the President
cho-en by popular vote they would
:it onto assume the dignity whii-h
"the fathers" Mippised they Imd
givn tin m, and become a living,
deliberative bedy, hound to choose
a new Piesidenc upon consideia
tinns or the public good. The
change would make the nomina
tion of electors a matter of grave
importance. It would, of course,
be necessary to provide for filling
vacancies in" the electoral collcfe.
and for an "Acting President"
during the interval between the.
death of the President and the
meeting, of the college; and in
connection with these provisions
the needed definition of the mode
of counting the electoral vole, of
the way iu which "inability" shall
be determined, etc., might be in
The Pnlilic Debt.
SiXTEnx years ago the publio
debt had reached its highest fiaure
and the journals of the day were
filled witli surmises and guesses as
to the feasibility of paying off the
t .venty-seven hundred millions in
1 10 next century and a half. On
the 1st of next month t lie -debt will
be under two thousand millioiis. It
is now biiig reduced at the rate of
thirteen million dollars a month,
and unless Congress cuts off much'
of the revenue receipts, a course
wiiich the state of affairs v.ould
justtfv,.the coming year would see
over one hundred and fifty addi
tional millions ol indebtedness can
celled. Several of the state papers ad
versely criticise Representative
George for not asking for large
appropriations for the various im
provements. The sums he named
in his bill were in accoi dance with
the estimate of the engineers in
charge of the work, and it would
certainly be fairer to commend him
for moderation, discretion and
common sense, than censure him
"for not attempting Impossibilities.
A sey form of vicious indul
gence lias made its appearance, to
wiiich physicians have given the
name of "inorphomania." It 'is
the hypodermic use of morphia to
allay pain, which, first recommend
ed" by physicians, becomes grad
ually a pleasure and finally a de
grading necessity lo the unfortu
nate victim of nervous weakness.
No wonder that Rice, the edi
tor of the North American Re
view, got spunky and said that he
