must be controlled by rigid and fixed rules
IT . case is brought before it it must decide
it. A legislature has broad discretion; it
has an arbitrary discretion, except so
of the country and by good conscience.
The Senator from Wisconsin, not in
reference to this case particularly, but in
stating the principle of the bill, holds that
Congress has the right, without any appli-
cation coming from State, where the State
courts have declared an election valid, to
set aside the election and to order new
one: l can not agree with him, and am
glad That there is one relief to this prodi-
giOus power. The Senator from Wisconsin
states the relief while stating the power.
He says:
1.-The question is in its nature political,
not judicial; and no court, State or national,
can settle it so as to preclude Congress from
inquiring into it and settling the question
for itself"
1t is relief to know that we need not
exercise the power, it's exercise being left
to our political discretion. What propriety
is there in ordering new election in Lou
isianaY 1t would be sheer volunteer act.
No one asks our interference. The Gov
ernor is in Office; the general government
acquiescee; laws are enacted, contracts made
and rights vested. ALI agree that Kellogg
represents the wishes of the people, and it
seems as if the preponderancc OF evidence
is that Kellogg had majority of the votes
cast. And here let me say l do not agree
with the Senator from Wisconsin that Con-
gress is making . precedent, even if it does
not order new election. We are no more
doing SO in the exercise of q political discre-
ton ON this subject than we are whenever
we refuse to pass bill. Our discretion is
arbitrarily controlled only ty the constitu-
ton and by good conscience.
In reference to the Legislature / have
nothing to say. 1t would be very unwise
to order an election for members of the
for an election under the laws
of the State will take place as soon as could
be had under law Of Congress. The bill,
I think, should not pass.

whom did not know; they were making
up tally lists-of the returns Of the election
for the parish of Madis0n. The lists were
signed in blank by the commissioners of
election. i inquired from CahoOn. the
supervisor, how it was that he had not pre-
pared the lists and returns in the parish
where he came from. He told me that he
could not count the votes there; it was q
Republican parish, and that he had to run
away because he wanted to count the votes
and admit no one except few, and he
would have it his own way, and would here
in New Orleans return such persons as he
thought proper. / swOre him to several

Hop Picking.
ARENA, Sept. ]

| ARENA, sept. lSt, 1914.
ED. CHRoN1CLE:-W have just return
ed from flying visit to the hop yards of
G. NJ. Ashmore and the Hon. VIM. E..
Rowe. The former has yard of 13 acres
and employs sixty old pickers, principally
young ladies. He expects to realize abou
5000 lbs. The latter has a good yard of
10 acres and employs about so pickers,
also principally young ladies. He expects
to realize about 10000 lbs. which at IS or
| 40 cents pound makes quite d snug little
sum in return for the cultivation Of 10
acre patch,
We spent an hour or two in pleasant
conversation with the Hon. His ''politcs''
is not such as can be recommended to Re-
publicans, bat otherwise he is a gentleman
Of good social qualities and fast.friend of
every body who enjoys his acquaintance,
and can talk Granger to you"till you can't
see.''
The pickers average about one and a
half boxes day, for which they receive
80 cts. a box. They are joval set, and
although the labor is hard and tedious,
they apparently enjoy themselves, partic
ularly at the chop in the: evening. But
those who think it all play and no work
in hop-yard had better try it.
There are several smaller var DIS in close
roximity to Arena, all of which will re-
turn an average crop with fair quality of
Hops. The Hop interest is increasing
here from year to year, and those who have
tried it say it pays on an average better
than any thing else cultivated on the farm.
They will all be through and the hops
ready for market by the middle of next
week. More anon,
