Judge HAINEs' Senate Bill, to pro
tect the rights of remaindermen a,
gainst waste by tenants by the cur
tesy, has passed both branches of ou1
Legislature and is now a law. 1t is
a much needed law, and will have the
effect to protect the rights of many
orphans in the State against the "a.
pacity of tenants by the curtesy. W.

We have not seen the law yet, but
We understand it isvery stringent in

The Republican party is essenti-

The Baltimore Sun says ofour next
State election: Gan important poll

this year. A Governor is to be elect

a successor to Stanley Matthews in

A scheme has been devised in Ol

A scheme has been devised in Or
egon for the suppression of drunken
ness, which requires every person
buying liquor for his own or another
persons consumption to take out an
annual license, costing not less than
five dollars. Every six months the
names of those having licenses are to
be published, ard no saloon keeper
is to be permitted to sell a drink TO a
man unless he can produce the all
important document, properly certi-
fed, and bearing the seal of the coun-
ty court. The proposed law certainly
has merits. In Cincinnati, for in
stance, it would bring a million of
dollars into the public treasury every
year. The solitary drinker, fortified
by the possession of his license in
his pocket, need have no fear of ex-
posure, except when found drunk
with no license, when the proposed
Oregon law would insist upon his
imprisonment in the House of Cor
rection for at least six months. The
idle vagabond having no money to
procure a license would have no
whisky, and thus drunkenness would
be banished from the land and the
good time for which Brother Murphy
is praying would dawn upon a peo-
pie emancipated from the vice of the
age.

THE DEMOCRACY AND THE AD-
MiNfSTRATI0N
The WASHINGTON correspondent OF

ohAOeOA SSPOiNShe ".
a prominent republican journal says:
"In any ordinary event the Senate
will remain in republican hands for
two years by a small majority, so
small that the managers will have to
keep them in their seats pretty con-
stantly. The republicans can't leave
their places and trot around oyer the
United States US in the good OLD times
when they had two-thirds minority,
and, like the boy among the water
melons, were Indifferent whether
school kept or not. If the tidal wave
which has increased the democratic
strength from 30 to 81 in the new, Sen
ate serve to keep Senators in their
seats in attending upon business, it
will rot have been in vain.
"While the republicans will have
a slender majority for the next two
years, regardless of the contested
seats in Louisiana and South Carroll.

in the other States-that is, that the

will have the Senate by nearly thu
same majority that the republican,
have now
These are facts which the new ad
ministration will do well to study
With an exceedingly small majority
in one branch of Congress and a dem
%ocratic majority in the other, Hayes
and his party can't afford to play an,
fantastic tricks. The democracy ar
more thoroughly united and NOR
thoroughly determined to day than i
they had obtained the fruits of thei
victory. While regarding the admin
istration. as a fragrant usurpation
they Ire prepared to support it when
ever it does Notwithstanding retrib
utive vengeance until the prope
time arrives. But if Hayes goe
back on his plighted word, or en-
deavors to "carry water on boil
shoulders" he will rouse such al
opposition as no President ever had
and such as no President manufac
tured as he was can stand. He i
tolerated now because he has takel
one or two short steps in the RICH
direction; but if he retreats, or stop
where he is, he will be taught a les
son that requires no REPETITION. H
has an opportunity to get througl
his four years in comparative peace
and with all the credit that can pos
sibly attach to a chief-magistrat
whose title is fraudulent. But if h

The Republican Senator's on Louisiana.

Early last winter the Returning Board of
Louisiana declared that Packard was duly
elected Governor of the State, and they gave
him a Legislature to match, and this Legs-
lature elected Kellogg a Senator in Con-
gress, and Packard furnished him certifi-
cate to that effect.
But it became necessary that the eight cleo
toral votes of Louisiana should be stolen for
Hayes in order to count him into the Presi-
dency. Thereupon bargain was made and
consummated whereby Hayes was to be per-
mitted to keep the eight stolen votes on con
dition that he would hustle Packard and
his Legislature aside, and would recognize
Nichols as the lawful Governor, and allow
the Legislature chosen with him to act. In
pursuance of this arrangement, the Nichols
Legislature, in March last, elected SpOfiord
a Senator in Congress, and Spofford took
to Washington certificate of election from
Nichols as Governor.
And now, in the face of these facts, every
Republican in the Senate, after long debate,
has voted to seat Kellogg in preference to
Spofford, thereby recognizing Packard
and his Legislature as the genuine Govern,
ment of Louisiana, and re 'ldialing Mich
oils and his Legislature aga sham. But
more significant than this, these Republican
Senators, by their votes on this vital point,
have set the stamp of their disapprobation
upon the corrupt bargain in pursuance OF
which the eight votes of Louisiana were
taken from Tilden and given to Hayes II
the issue should hereafter be squarely made
in the Senate, then these Republican Sena
tors who placed Kellogg in his seat must
either adhere to Packard as the lawful Gov
ernor of Louisiana or declare that Hayes
holds the Presidency by fraudulent title
They cannot recognize Hayes and ignore
Packard. Both must stand or fall together
