the benefit of another and different con-
struction, and therefore vetoed the bill.
The Democrats were not to be de-
coyed from the one, plain issue they
had made. II Mr.. HAYES was not in
truth opposed to the prohibition OF us
ing the army in elections, they were
willing to allow him to sign a bill that
should express that purpose, pure and
simple, without being encountered with
anything else that could make an objec-
ton. Thus stripped OF every other lea
ture. condition or attachment, such a
measure has been offered in Congress,
and the Republicans firm and consistent
with the record they have already made,
have voted again to sustain the laws
ther once enacted and desire to perpet-
uate.
Now can Mr.. HAYES follow his party
i'm this and be consistent, is the question
which is agitating not only the White
House, but the Republican stalwarts
who don't like the idea of a surrender
of their winning card They recognize
the fact that HAYES must either sign
the present bill or render himself gross
w inconsistent and ridiculous before the
country. He has pat himself upon the
record as charging the Democratic party
with fighting a shadow in re-enacting
what is already the law OF the land. lie
has given himself away in maintaining
that he is already prohibited by law
from directing or even permitting the
use of soldiers at elections. Would 1t
not be prepOsterous, therefore, for him
to veto bill which Congress has
thought essential, il in his opinion 1t
enacts only the existing law Ofthe land?
There is no rider now behind which
to hide his real objection-nO possible
construction of an interference with the
presence OF civil officers at the polls,
and the one point insisted on is that the
army and navy shall not be employed
at any place where an election is being
held, except to repel the armed enemies
of the United States, or in compliance
with a requisition by the Executive or
Legislature of any State. No bill passed
by any legislative assembly was ever
more strictly confined to a single object
expressed in its title. And now while
he maint with emphasis that valid
laws now in force explicitly establish the
self same object for which the bill is
presented, is he not destitute of any
plausible, colorado. or sophistical rea-
sons for vetoing such bill? We do
not believe that even HAYES would
brave occupying a position so inconsist-
ent and vulnerable.

THE Cincinnati Gazette sums up the
action of the Iron and Steel Convention
at Pittsburgh rs follows:
The expression OF the convention of
this association at Pittsburgh was to the
effect that they want to be let alone
that they want no agitation for disturb
anCe of the tariff, nor for disturbance of
the currency. The revival of their in
duStry is going on surely and as rapidly
as sure, and they want it let alone.
The expression of the convention has
none of that wild talk which we have
before noticed, to the effect that the cost
OF producing iron has now so fallen that
il can be exported even TO Great Brit
ain, and, therefore, they don't care for
the protective duty. The expression of
the convention was that they hold the
protective duty vital, and, therefore,
that they DO not expect to export iron
10 markets which are free to the country
which they have to be protected from.

THE RUSSIAN NIHILISTS.

A conspicuous example of the ulti-
mate tendency of government by mere
military force is furnished by the pres
ent situation OF affairs in Russia. The
condition Of affairs there is such that
citizen of a more favored country cannot
read of it without thrill OF horror. The
Nihilists, or party opposed to the adj
ministration of the Car, are committing
daily assassinations, and such is the
reign of terror that porter is to be sta
toned on duty day and night at the
door Of every house in st. Petersburg,
and is to watch that no placards are
posted up anywhere without the requi-
site authorization, and that no objects
Of a dangerous nature are scattered in
the streets. Any persons doing any
thing of the kind are to be arrested by
the porters. The latter, in case OF not
fulfilling this duty, will be fined twen-
ty-fye rOubles or imprisoned for seven
DAYS for the first offence, and expelled
from the city for the second. Owners
Of houses at the doors OF which
no pOrters are stationed will be
liable to fine OF 500 roubles.
Nooneis permitted ocarry arms without
permission of the chief of police, and
every gunsmith in the empire is under
the surveillance of the authorities. Yet,
notwithstanding these precautions,
bombs are daily exploded in the streets,
murder is rampant, and the "ReyOlu-
tionary Government" even publishes
an official newspaper called Land and
Liberty and in it are contained such
sentiments as the following:
Beneath the impenetrable gloom that
reigus over our native land a revolution
ary work has for years past been going
on, from which, now and then, proceeds
a perceptible shock i'm the form of
death-blOw given TO some Government
official. These are the first signs OF the
revolutionary OutburSt in course OF
preparation. They break the silence OF
the night, and follow one another more
and more quickly; so that what were
striking incidents not long ago, are now
forgotten almost as soon as they occur.
As Mr. BEECHER said at Washington
Hall the other night, the atrocity of the
crimes committed by the revOlutionists
is not an index of the
character of the people committing
them. It'll rather the measure, as it is
the outgrowth, of the cruelty of the des-
potism under which they live. 1t is the
working of the inevitable law of reac-
ton. The people, oppressed bya tyrant
increasing in his cruelty, are forced for
Scli-prcseryation to attempt the over
throw Of their oppreSSor. The fact that
their attempt seems well-nigh hopeless
is but a more convincing evidence of the
urgent necessity that impelS them to
their course. In making the attempt
they take their lives in their hands, for
a faint breath Of suspicion is sufficient
to condemn a man to death That they
are still ready for the struggle Is their
vindication from the charge of cruelty.
Death is their choice of evils.

The most casual reader of the current
news has not failed 10 understand that
the issue which has been made in Con-
grrss upon the army appropriation
Dim is uI1u the Use ct the military at
the pollS-th Democrats opposing aud
the Republicans supporting existing
laws which allow the presence Of
soldiers at the polls.
That was the object, pure and simple,
at which the Democratic party aimed
and against which the Republicans all
along have been making their fight.
The debate upon the measure was
directed s1uareIy AMI fairly TO this
issue. There were collateral issues
raised. such as that OF attaching it To
the appropriation bill, but they We're
minor considerations
10 was not until the bill reached Mr.
HAYES that any such Interpretation Of
existing laws was preached as that they
did not allow Of the presence Of federal
soldiers atthe polls. All legal talent
Of both branches of Congress had not
essayedtO put such a construction upon
them. Even JIM. BLAINE, with all his
dash and recklessneSs, did not venture
50 far. He cOntented himself with try
ing to convince the country that there
were no soldiers that anybody need be
afraid Of
But when the bill reached HAYES he
blandly informed the men OF his party
who had been valliantly struggling for
month OF more to maintain for him the
right to employ the army at the polls,
that the laws sought to be repealed con-
ierred on him no such authority, but at the
sametimehe did not propose torelinquish
