Violating the Constitution to Maintain
the Law.

Tho World has discovered new jewel in
the head Of that ugly and vcnomous beast
the Electoral Commission. Let us sup
pose" says the W0rH THAT neither the
Electoral Commission nor any equivalent
plan had been adopted. In what sort of
position should We find ourselves now The
rioting which has gone So far now with no
political conflict to disturb the unity of
West Virginia and Maryland under Demo-
cratic Governors, OF of Pennsylvania under
n Republican Governor, would have become
intellectually more formidable; and whcnt the
States failed. there would have been no
effective and uudisputcd authority lett to
confront it,"
II the Electoral Commission had not been
adopted, SAMUEL j. TILDEN, the rightiully
elected President. would have been inaugu-
rated. Docs the World think he would have
been less efficient in suppressng insurrec-
Mons or in the discharge Of any duties de-
Nolving on the Executive.
Tous there's something supremacy ridicu-
nous in the attitude now assumed by the
World. That "the Commission, il not uncon-
etitutional, was extra constitutional" our
contemporary comedies; and yet it rcjoiccs
that this unconstitutional tribunal was re-
fortcd to, on the theory that it has helped
10 diminish the violation Of the law, How
md wherein are the rioters who violate the
law any worse than the grave and reverend
Senators who knowingly violated the Con-
Btitution?
Moreover. tho World is ont Of its reckon
ang as To the facts. The Federal troops have
been OF little use anywhere in supprcssing

The Constitution Is the great bulwark on
which the people have TO rely for the pres
ervation Of their rights and liberties. 1t
may be for the interest OF railway jobbcrs,
aristocrats, and opprcssors to have it disre-
gardcd; but let no journal that iustiiies or
excuses its violation ever pretend to speak
An the interest of the masses.

II Is gratifying 10 be able to record that
the real strikers have horne themselves with
discretion. The men who chiefly make up tho

II will bc observed that this Table docs not
include the New York Central nor any Of the
short side lines whose trains were stopped
in the general melee. Taking in these lines,
we have in all ten thousand miles Of rail-
roads. representing in bonds, watrrod stock.
and otherwise. about one Thousand millions
of dollars. or fully twice as much as 1t would
cost to build and furnish the whole of them
to-day.
The managers Of our great railroads
have been crazy. They have gone ON
like lunatics during the past fifteen
years making connections westward. north
ward, southwark, and in every possible di-
rcction, without regard to the cost, and with
out any ccrtantvoi paying traffic; but with
an insane belief that every railroad must,
from the necessity of the ease. bc source of
profit and power. In thcsc enterprises and
extensions they have thrown away and de-
stroyed at least five hundred millions OF
dollars which can never be recovered. not
only because their lines and connections far
exceed the requirements Of the country. but
also because many of thcm are essentially
unnecessary and can never be made pro-
ductive. In fact, they themselves now adj
init there is not business enough for them
all, and Is not likely to be for an indefinite
period to come.
Thus graspng after universal dominion,
the coolest and shrewdcst Of our railway
magnatcs have been carried away by this
luuacy. How much money did Commo-
dore VANDERBILT spend in putting down tine
third and fourth tracks OF the New York
Central; Those third and fourth tracks are
Improbable; they produce nothing; in fact,
they are, to a certain extent. an incunvcn-
fence and II nuisance, especially in the will
ter when they have to be cleared OF snow.
The same exaggerated and dcuded amb-
tion has made the propretors and managers
Of these great machines think themselves
above the people. They have bought and
owned Legislatures; they have made laws
and cxpoundcd them through their own
Judges; through their Credit Moblicr and
their subsidies, they have corrupted Con-
gress; they have filled vacancies in the SUI
premc Court and reversed its decisions; they
have joined in making Il Fraudulent Pre-i-
dent; and they have asprcd To own and
govern and tax the United States.
These things cannot bc 50 any longer. We
must have change.

Mayor Ely and the Commissioners Of Po-
lice arc entitled to great credit fer their adj
mlrablc arrangements to qucll any disturb
anco that might arise When men have
been tried and not found wanting, as they
have now been, it Is the part of wisdom to
be very slow about changing them for others
who are improved and uncertain.
As long ms Mr.. ELY continues Mayor, and
the present Police Comm uer' continue
in office, it is pretty safe to predict that
there will not be any very serious disturb

Beets for Mich Cows.

Having had considerable expcr-
fence in growing beets and mangolds
for cattle, and having noted their
value when fed, l am thoroughly
convinced that there is no crop for
cattle food that farmer can raise
with as much profit. Experiments
in feeding the present winter has i'm
pressed me particularly as to their
great value.
Last fall when my cattle were tax
en- from grass their stable food for
for the first month consisted OF fod-
der corn. badly cured, and a very lib
eral supply Of cabbages. Three of
the cows calved last September; the
other three in the Spring, and were
with calf. On this feed the flow of
milk fell off quite perceptibly and
the butter lost its yellow coloring.
When the cabbages were gone they
were ted on the sowed corn twice 4
day, morning and night, and at noon
each COW was ted peck of beets.
decided Improvement i'll the flow
of milk began soon after, and from
the three tarrow cows nearly as
much milk was obtained rs when
they were in grass pasture, and the
butter was of nearly the same color
as when the COWS were grass fed.
Late in January the supply of beets
gave out. Their place was immed-
lately filled by feed of two quarts
of corn and barley meal, mixed half
and half. A decided decline in milk
followed, and the first churnlng
from this milk gave white butter.
About the same results were Oh
tanned year ago when soft corn
and pumpkins were fed and compar-
ed with beets, the pumpkins coming
nearest to the beets in giving quaint
ty of and color to the butter. Exact
figures would be better in these ex-
periments, but the results were SO
marked that there could be no mis-
take. The facts are given after
close observation. From experience
I have also learned that about a
peck of beets to feed for mich
cows will give better results than a
larger quantity.-Cor. Amertc""
