Senator Edmunds' Electoral bill
was not kindly received by the Sen
ate. The Democrats are wary Of any
bill coming from him, as he tricked
them in the Electoral Commission
business, and look for cat in the
meal-tub. 1t is viewed by some as a
measure to legalize all the fraud of
the last presidential election.

One week from next Wednesday is
resumption day. If, by the success
of the scheme which is to go into eff
feet upon that day, is meant a rein
vigoration Of our industries and re-
vival of business, with better profits
upon capital legitimately invested,
and higher wages and steadier en-
ployment for workingmon, then are
those who make adverse predictions,
false prophets. Before such a sue
cess can be achieved money must be
made easier of access and much
cheaper to the owners Of the real
wealth of the nation, its mines, lands,
machinery, houses, ETC.; work upon
great public improvements, the Texas
Pacific railroad, for instance, now in
allegiance, must be recommended; the
control of the volume of the currency
must be taken wholly from the banks
and the tools they succeed in electing
to Congress; the affairs of the many
scores ofreally bankrupt railroads and
other corporations that are now, I'M
der their exceptional corporate privil-
eyes, eXacting from producers and
consumers interest upon debts aggre-
eating many times the actual value
Of the properties they control, must
be readjusted upon correct and equit-
able business principles; there must
be an honestly elected President ex-
ecuting the laws; end there must be
greater integrity and economy in the
administration Of the affairs both OF
the National and State governments.
All these things are required TO be
done ere prosperity can be fully re-
stored.

BLAINE'S SPEECH.
Shaking the Bloody Shirt.

Senator Blaine, Of Maine. who
while in the House q few years ago
was supposed to have been guilty of
certain questionable transactions in
relation to certain railroad bonds and
had a committee Of congressman APP
pointed to investigate his case, and
+ in that investigation or pending it he
was severely handled by Hon. BENZ.
Hill, of Georgia, and was also shown
up in a very unenviable light by the
Hon. Proctor Knott, Of Kentucky,
who as chairman of Blaine's commit
tee brought to light a considerable
amount of very damaging testimony
and contributed largely toward de-
feating him for the nomination by
the Radicals for the Presidency.
Since then the worthy Senator has
had an itching hatred for the South
ern people, and has been waiting an
opportunity Of blowing off his pent up
wrath for long time. AT the com
mencement Of the present session of
Congress Blaine offered a resolution
to investigate certain matters in ref
ercnce to southern suffrage with a
view, as he stated, to changing the
representation of the South, which
representation was fixed by the Rad
icals when they reconstructed these
Southern States and is exactly in ac.
cordance with the Radical amend
ments to the Constitution of the Unit
ed States. There is no reason, or
sense or justice in the investigation
or action proposed by Mr.. Blaine,
but he and his Republican friends
thought the South could not becom-
ingly object to the investigation, as
any objection might be construed in
to a consciousness Of guilt and then
the discussion of such resolution af-
forded an opportunity for venting his
unpatriotic and virulent spleen
against the Southern people. Such
dishonest politicians as Blaine and
Edmunds always embrace every OPP
portunity of stirring up sectional
strife and hatred Their party had
is inception in sectional hate and
strife and it has been nursed by it to
the present day.

Agriculture.

Our efficient and thoughtful Sen.
ator, Hon. II. G.. Davis, submitted
the following resolution to the Sen
ate on the. 4th inst.
WHEREAS, Agriculture is the foun-
dation of nearly all our wealth, and
it is mainly through the expectation
of its products that we are paying
off our large Indebtedness, foreign
and domestic, and have the present
large balance of trade in our favor;
and
WHEREAS, Although about one
half of the people of this country
are engaged in agricultural pursuits,
and all other interests are dependent
upon this our leading and most i'm
portant interest, commercial and
otherwise, yet but little has been
done by the general government to
promote agriculture, while other less
general and important interests have
been largely aided; therefore
Resoloed By tie Senate, (the House
Of Representatives. concmring), That
the Committees on Agriculture of
the respective houses be, and they
are hereby instructed to consider
generally the subject of agriculture,
and report, by bill Or otherwise, what
can or ought to be done by the gen
eral government to better advance,
encourage and foster agricultural in
terests; and that said committees
shall have the power to send for per-
sons and papers.

Congress, or at least the Democrat
ic end of it, has shown unusual alac-
rity in getting down to the practical
work of the session. -Four of the thir-
teen appropriation bills have already
passed the House, and one or two
more will follow before the holiday
recess, which is almost unprecedent-
ed promptness. No time has been
wasted in wind exercise, and no
springing of political discussions for
party capital has been allowed
While the Democrats are fluffy pre-
pared to give the other side all they
wait of the Southern question, should
it be opened in the House, they do
not propose to assume the response
bility of thrusting such an unseemly
row in the way of public business.
The Republican Senate has not done
so well. The programme of the
shriekers was to precipitate the po-
litical warfare in both Houses and
keep it up, and in the Senate it has
succeeded, partially, Notwithstanding
the fact that Mr.. Edmunds and some
of the shrewder ones do not approve
the policy. There is considerable diff
ference of opinion among the Repub-
licans as to the wisdom Of making
this onslaught at this time, especial
ly as the Democrats are likely to bring
out all the facts, and in the end get
the best of it.

Death of Princess Alice.

LONDON, Dec. 14.-Princess Alice,
whose death from diphtheria was an
nounced to-day, was the eeeond daugh
ter, and third child of Queen Veto
ria. She was born in 1913, and in
her nineteenth year was married to
his Royal Highness Prince Louis
Frederick William of Hessc Darn
stadt, who is six years her senior.
She is the mother of seven children,
one of whom is dead. Princess Alice
was always considered by the Eng
fish people as one of the most amiable
and charming members Of the Royal
family, and her death is widely and
deeply regretted. The Princess had
been in the habit Of spending much of
her time after her marriage in Eng
land, and her life abounded in many
good works. The attachment be-
tween her royal mother and herself
was great, and the Queens grief is
intense. The health of the Queen
has not been robust, and serious APP
prehensions are felt as to the possible
consequences mental as well as phys
zeal, which may follow her sickness,
induced by her favorite daughters
death. 1t is considered probable that
the marriage of the Duke of Can
naught will be postponed for some
months.

Last week Blaine of Maine tried to
resurrect the Bloody shirt in the
House. The substance of Blaine's
TRADE are the charges of election "out-
RACES" in the South; that the entire
colored vote of the South is the prop
erty of the Republican party, of which
the rightful owner has been robbed
by force and fraud; and that by rca-
son of these things the white vote Of
the South acquires disproportionate
power. Without reference to his reck-
less, unwarranted statements, the
logical conclusion of Blaine's remarks
would seem to be that he wants to
take back the boon of suffrage given
to the negro unless the votes are count
ed solidly for the Republicans. There
is no need of reiterating the fact that
the negroes do not all vote the Re
publican ticket. 1t is well known
that thousands of them freely vote
the other way, and that many more
would do so but for brutal mobbing
by the more ignorant lawless elements
of their own race Mr. Blaine saws
his party is the friend of the negro,
yet in the language Of the
Washington Post, what but swind-
ling and plundering have the
Republicans done for him since
he became voter, what use has been
made of him except to help carpet
bag thieves to fatten on the plumber
ed white people of the South. And
from these whites Mr.. Blaine says
the negro has nothing to hope and
everything to dread" 1t will be a
sorry day for the millions of poor
homeless dependent blacks if they
shall imbibe Blaine's false doctrine
of hate; and still sadder one if the
men who own the land-the men of
property sbrains, character and iufu-
ence in the South-shall assume the
unnatural and unchristian attitude
which Mr.. Blaine assigns them.
Senators Thurman and Lamar
made some very pointed remarks off
hand In reply to Blaine, and both will
further participate in the discussion
which is not yet disposed of The
convincing statements and temperate
tone of the Mississippi Senator was a
great disappointment TO the agita-
TOYS.
