the power Of congress to pass any regulations
it pleases in regard TO elections of members OF
congress and presidential electors in the states
but when congress does thus assume control OF

visor and marshal law does, to direct and con

1924, 600 were paid out Of the public treasury
for supervisors and marshals of elections in
the northern states at the elections last fall
Has any republican the impudencc to pretend
that they were instrumental in preventing the
casting of single fraudulent vote in New
York, Philadelphia, Boston or San Francisco,
where nine-tenths of the expense was incurred ?
The truth is the only use of these supervisors
and marshals is to act as band of electioneer-
ers and ticket peddlers for the republican par.
ty, and as such their being paid by the govern
ment saves just so much to the republican
campaign fund. One would think the grand
army Of Office holders alone ought to be adj.
vantage enough in favor OF the party in power
without this additional band of paid election.

G. w. Bassett. Before the war he was staunch
aboltionst, but being, at the same time, a
firm believer in the right of secession, when

posed to erect, at the expense Of the city, in

odd TO see such an unreconstructed rebel in

BLOODY ROW AT CHICAGO.

Chicago enjoyed another crop OF the legitl-
mate fruits of her Sunday picnic system in the
shape of bloody riot last Sunday. A semi,
communistc organization known as the Bohe-
milan Sharpshooters' Association, in connec-
ton with one OF the Bohemian churches OF the
city, had what they called Sunday School
picnic at place in the western limits OF the
city known as Silver Leaf Grove The eXereis-
es and amusements, however, were somewhat
novel for a Sunday School, consisting mainly
in beer drinking dancing, foot racing, &c.
The Grove within which the picnic was held
is enclosed by high board fence, and all who
entered at the gate had to pay an admission fee
of % cents. Among others who paid and en-
tered the grove but otherwise had no connec-
ton with the party was one Volney Clark. He
entered the dancing hall and took part with
the rest but either because a stranger or for
Objectionable conduct was set upon, beaten
and driven out AS he reached the gate he
stated his grievances to the crowd OF roughs
on the outside, who showed their sympathy by
joining him in casting stones into the enclos-
ure at the picknlckers. Some twenty of the
Bohemian Sharpshooters, with their arms,
were IN attendance, under command of Lieut.
Ladweic. When the disturbance at the gate
was reported to him he Immediately ordered
the long roll TO be beaten and his men 10 fix
bayonets. A charge was then made on the
crowd at the gate, and beng responded to by
"a, g OTTO ,t.1 I
dered his men to fire upon the crowd, which
they did IN several volleys. Three men are
said to have been killed, or so badly injured
that they must die, and dozen more were
wounded Lieut. Ladweic and all the mem.
bers of the company who took part in the fray,
II IN number, have been arrested and will
probably be tried for murder.

SOLDIERS ReuNIoN-A Grand Soldiers re-
union is advertised to take place at Aurora
August 90, 81 and 90 Of this year, The re-
union takes place at the call and under the
auspices of the Soldiers Reunion Association
of the Northwest, organized at Amboy a year
ago The various regiments, brlgades and
armycorps are becoming so scattered and
thinned out by time, that regimental or corps
reunions are hardly any longer practicable.
Hence the present plan of inviting all soldiers,
of whatever regiment or army corps, to one
grand annual reunion, where they can again
go through the motions" of battle, construct
earth works, live IN tents and subsst for
few days on army rations At the reunion
last year at Amboy, the first attempted on this
plan, over 1000 soldiers were present, repre-
senting eighty.nne different regiments, 1t is
believed the coming reunion at Aurora will
attract al least double the number. Aurora
is a railroad center convenient or access from
all points, and all the railroads agree to carry
the soldiers at one and one-fifth fare for the
round trip and some for even less.

The republicans in congress are doing good
work in the way OF manufacturing democratic

opportunity that presents itself, against the

remarks, "commends itself to the moral sense
Of the country; there is no question about It's
justice and proprety, and none as to the utter
ly vicious and disgraceful character of the OPP
position 10 it, The majority IN congress will
he guilty of gross neglect of duty if they con
sent to an adjournment until this bill become
a law"

Hayes has signed the army appropriation
bill as passed second time. The only differ
once between the bill he vetoed and the one ht
signed is, that the former contained a section
repeating clause of the revised statutes au
thorizing the use Of the army to keep the
peace at the polls" while the bill he signs for
bids the use of the army as police force a
the polls Nobody but a few very astute soft
republican congressman were able to see any
difference between the two bills. Certainly
such stalwarts as Chandler, Blaine, ConkIing
&c, couldn't, and no democrats pretended they
could. But happily Hayes affected, with the
help IF Garfelds eyes, to see a very material
difference, and signed the bill, but it is doubt
ful whether the federal Office holders who fired
a salute in honor of Hayes first veto of the
army bill, will express their approval of sign
ing the second in the same way.

WESTON.

Weston, the pedestrian, as had been fore
Swallowed week ago, on Saturday night of
last week completed walk of $50 miles in
six days-the greatest walk on record, and
winning back the Ashley cup which Rowell
took from O'Leary in New York six months
ago THIS was not only Weston's greatest, but
his first really great triumph, though he has
been walking for twenty years and is over 40
years of age. His case contradicts the com.
mon theory in regard to athletes-that such
Extraordinary feats OF endurance can be achiev.

system fatally weakening under every such

Rowell has made his best walk; Ennis is

this nation has there been in the entire foul
years of an administration 90 much corrup

cal fayorites, traffic with political leaders, and

during the past year. People say that Hayes
