Some OF the democratic organs are advising
their party In Congress to amend the election
laws, 1t having been demonstrated that they
cannot be repealed. The amendments suggested
are, first, to divide the deputy marshals equally
between the two political parties as the super
Tasors now are; second, to provide that no
arrests can be made at any polling place except
upon the joint warrant Of the two supervisors:
third, the appointment OF bipartisan board
to hear and decide upon complaints and no
voter to be forbidden TO vote except by the judg-
ment OF this board. If 1t shall appear that there
Is no chance OF decision by the Supreme Court
upon the questions pending before it relating to
the enforcement OF the election laws, before the
adjournment OF Congress 1t is quite probable
that the democrats will decide to amend these
laws so as place the authority to enforce them
equally In the hands of both political parties.

The Pr opposed Change i'm the DipIO-
matte Service.

The opinion that the diplomatic service of the
United States could be very much Simplified and
the cost thereof largely reduced has become
quite popular, and is supported by some of the
leading journals of the country. Secretary
McCrary has declared himself In favor of re-
trenchment in this direction, and there are
members OF Congress, OF both parties, who are
ready with their votes to put new system in
practice. The establishment OF Geographic COM
munication between the United States and
nearly all the capitals OF the civilized world has
1t Is urged, rendered unnecessary the main,
tenance OF legations at these capitals. When
ever an international question arises the
business relating to it is transacted
directly between the State department in
Washington and the representatives of the
other government interested by means of the
cable telegraphic lines. This was the manner
In which all the correspondence in connection
with the fisheries question was carried on, and,
therefore, say the advocates of cheaper dtplo-
matte system, why maintain legation in Lon
don simply to give few entertainments AMI do
the grand thing In social way? One plan that
is suggested in lieu Of the present system, Is to
establish, in London, for instance, a minister or
consul-general, and let him have assistants in
all the other foreign capitals who will commit
nicate with him, the minister to be responsible
to the State Department. 1t is quite
probable that something in the way OF
cutting down the diplomatic service will
be attempted at this session in the consular and
diplomatic bill, and If it fails now, 1t will sue
coed hereafter. The statement of ex-MnistarS
Welsh, Stoughton and others, that the social
requirements of the great European capitals are
such as to make the expenses Of U. s. minister
far exceed the salary allowed him. has had the
effect of increasing the sentiment in favor of a
different system. There is, probably, not
single member of Congress who would be willing
to Introduce bill to increase the salaries of U.
S. ministers abroad. II would be very unpop-
ular move. and as it is evident that the present
salaries are too small to support the system
the result will eventually be, no doubt, change
of system.

Both Parties ssTOrn lTpn ON the
EreeAbaCk Question.

Senator Bayard has again subjected himself
to the sharp criticism of his party associates
and party organs, because of his refusal to be
guided by policy. The democrats have been
calculating upon division in republican ranks
upon the question OF retiring the greenbacks,
and their policy was to remain quiet and let the
republicans have full sway on the financial
subject. But Mr.. Bayard was not willing to
sacrifice principle to policy, and he was among
the first to put himself on record by the intro
ducton of resolution to abrogate the legal
tender quality OF the greenbackS. He maintains
that this Is true democratic doctrine and, tested
by The record of that party in its days of power
and glory, 1t certainly is 1t was the demo-
cratic party which insisted that 1t was uncon-
stitutional to invest the greenback with legal
tender attribute, and Mr.. Bayard proposes, so he
says, to maintain the consistency of the demo-
cratic record by being the first, in his capacity
of financial leader Of his party in Congress, to
move to take from the greenback this quality
Mr. Bayard is confident that his party in
that body will follow his leadership
In this matter, because, he insists as
democrats. they cannot do otherwise. II Mr.
Bayard's opinion as to what his party will do
proves correct, then the old issue will be re-
newed of the democrats antagonizng the green
back and the republicans defending it, for it is
evident that the republican Congressman do not
intend 10 follow Secretary Sherman in his effort
to retire the greenback currency. 1t Is plain,
TOO, that at present majority Of the democratic
congressman disagree with Mr.. Bayard on the
question OF destroying the legal-tender quality
OF this currency. 1t may be that before the
session ends they will come to Mr.. Bayard's
views. He has antagonized his party on finan-
clal questions before, and they have finally been
compelled to admit that he was right and they
were wrong. The future may again demonstrate
the superiority OF his wisdom but at present
neither party has any advantage over the other
on this greenback question. There is as much
division in the ranks OF one as the other
