Ottawa, ILL.,, June 9.-A bloody
double tragedy resulted to-day from a
long standing feud between the White
and Connor families of this city and
vicinity. Lawrence White was shot
dead by u revolver in the hands of Ted

Good Reason Tor peser,ion.

Galveston, Texas, June 9.--An Eagle
Pass special says: Yesterday morning
a company of Mexican infantry at
Piedras Negras mutinied and fought
their way through the guard at the
gate. About fifteen crossed to this
side under heavy fire from the loya;
troops, who continued firing after the
deserters landed. Many balls struck
the houses at this place The fugitives
surrendered their arms to the citizens
and will be returned to Mexico. A
number of the mutineers were killed

desertion is that the troops have been
six months without pay with nothing to

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
SENATE.

y f..
Washington, June 9.-Mr. Coke's
resolution to discharge the finance COM
mittee from further consideration of
Warmers silver bill, and to declare it
before the senate for action, was laid
before the senate, but postponed till
tomorrow on motion of Voorhees,.
The motion by Burnside for an ex-
ecutlve session was rejected by vote
of 10 to 81.
Mr.. Vest asked unanimous consent
to consider the bill extending to the
widow of the late James Shields his
pension of one hundred dollars per
month. Edmunds objected to the con-
slderation as out of order.
HOUSE.
During the debate on the legislative
bill, Atkins said the bill differed slight
ly from the bill recommitted few days
since. The principal difference was
the addition Of $4,000 for the pay
ment of storekeepers and gaugers in
the south, made necessary by the recent
rapid increase of distilleries. There
were few necessary increased salaries.
The bill contained none of the features
which before created so much political
discussion, and did not contain the
81, 900, 900 for Judiciary expenses. The
restriction regarding the payment of
deputy marshals and supervisors was
in the Judiciary part which Mcmahon
would report.
Mr.. Hawley, member of the appro-
priation committee, stated that the
minority Of that committee and repub-
licans generally, were very much op-
posed to the bill in its present form,
and would much prefer to pass the
regular appropriation bill of last ses-
sion, minus political sections. There
were very serious objections to the bill
by reason of its complication. Still he
did not deny that the treasury depart
ment, by detailing three men, one with
the old bill, another with the new one,
and q third with a slate and pencil,
might find out what was appropriated,
and so the government could live under
ii.
Mr.. Atkins then resumed his motion
to suspend the rules and pass the bill,
and the motion was carried without
division,

The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1879-07-24


The Democrats of Maine enter the
canvass upon the issue of free cleo.
tions. They demand the repeal Of
those acts of Congress that interfere
with the rights of voters, declare
that no more appropriations should
be made to carry out such laws, and
proclaim the danger from the power
of the Executive to control voting
through marshals and supervisors OF
elections. This is the broad founda.
ton of their platform; indeed, it con-
tains little else, the remaining planks
relating to the currency, the econom.
ical administration of the State gov
ernment, and to Governor Garcelon,
who is renominated. The people oil
the United States have had enough
of soldiers and marshals and super.
visors and Returning Boards in theil
elections.

A STRONG INDICTMENT.

We have a President who never
was elected.
We have a Supreme Court, three
members of which violated law, oath
and Justice to count in the unelected
President.
We have q Congress representing
the majority of the people, but not
permitted to act by a fraudulent ex-
ecutive and fanatical minority.
We have the monstrous theory
that the legislative must obey the
wishes of the Executive, not the ex-
ecutive the law of the Legislative.
We have the assumption that there
is but one man to 'save the coun-
try" and he Grant; but one party to
rule-that is the Republican party;
but one great duty of the day, that
to defy the clear majority of the peo-
pie.
Is this q Republic? Is this popu
lar self-government? Is it not on
the contrary, breaking up the char;
acter of the government very fast?
Which is worse-dividing or de-
stroying a republic? Which is more
terrible-breaking up Of the form or
the character of the government?
Had the rebels of 1861 succeeded,
they would have only divided the re-
public. But if the Stalwart crew OF
the indefinite term and Robson or.
der succeed they will destroy it.

The truth is the Republicans are
the enemies and the Democrats the
friends of the government. The
hostility Of the former stands out
conspicuously in the fight they made
against free elections. This is one
of our most cherished institutions,
and the foundation stone of the gov,
eminent, and yet we find the Repub-
lican party backing up a fraudulent
President in an open fight against
it. 1t sounds uncommonly odd to
hear the Republicans accuse the
Democrats with hostility to the gov
eminent, when they have robbed and
plundered and crippled it in every
way, and would, moreover, have wip
ed out ali its constitutional guides
before this time had not the people
placed the Democrats in possession
of both Houses of Congress.

TELL THE rRuTH

Republican papers are having a
great deal to say about the Demo
cratic Legislature, and the next man
you hear growing about it, ask him
to name the law which it enacted he
don't like.
Here are some of the laws they
passed. How do you like them?
They repealed the Registration
act.
They reduced the salaries of coun-
ty officers over two hundred thou
sand dollars, and reduced the sala-
ries of some State officers; took ST.
600 q year each off of the State In
surance Commissioner and State
Railroad Commissioner.
They codifed all the laws of the
State, which required an examina-
ton of every page and section in
Swan d C~ritchfield, Swan Il Sayler
and the original volumes since 1868,
making over seven thousand sections
when consolidated.
They made it unlawful to use and
circulate scrip as money.
They made it unlawful to pay the
wages Ct labor in goods at exorbi-
tant prices.
They gave labora lien for wages
in cases of assignments, up to $500,
and provided that no stay could be
taken on a judgment for wages OF
labor.
They provided thatsuits for wages
should be put first on dockets by
Clerks, so as to be tried Dol as pos
sible, and protected the wages of Ia
Dor on railroads from attachment
outside the county where the debt
was made.
They provided that Insurance
companies should pay their losses
according to the value named in the
policy. If a company took pay fol
100000 on a house, they must pay
at the rate they charge for.
They provided that Corporations
cannot organize on the wildcat sys
tenn, but before a corporation car
now organize, fifty per cent, of its
capital must be subscribed, and cor
porations cannot borrow more thar
the face value of their stock.
They passed the Seitz election
law, securing an honest, unbought
ballot, without bribery or intimida
ton.
They enacted that elections for
Congress in cities where Fedora
Force prevail and U. S. Deputy
Marshals are appointed, shall not b,
held within 200 feet of the Stat,
election polls.
They reduced the tolls on turn
pixies, and enacted severe law
against body-snatching.
They reduced the cost of runnin!
our public institutions.
These are a few of the good meas
ures passed by the last Legislature
that now come to our mind.

FACTS AS AGAINST ABUSE.

The nonsensical talk in Republi-
can papers about confederate pro
grammes and rebel Congresses sim
ply shows a poverty of mental re-
sources. What is called the confed-
crate programme is the programme
of James Madison, Thomas Jeffer-
son and George Washington. They
made it a principle that the military
power should be subordinate to the
civil, and that the army should be
kept from interference with the cleo
tions. They also anchored the grant
ing of supplies in Congress, and
made the House the originator OF all
money bills, giving, Congress the
power to say what should be grant.

As to rebel Congresses, a suficien'
answer is that there are no rebels il

there were rebels. The nation saie
to the rebels, "You have got to cease
to be rebels, you have got to become
citizens; you have got to bear the

effected. The one reason why til.
