THE bill prepared by Senator MELON
aid. of Indiana, will force the Republican
element in Congress and the man in the
White House. 10 confess that il is their de-
termination TO place bayonets at the polls
for the sole and only purpose of intimidat'
inc voters and controlling elections in the
} interest of the Republican party. The Sen
ator's bill will authorize the President 10
employ the army and navy TO enforce the
election laws whenever their execution are
obstructed by combinations too powerful
to be suppressed by the civil authorizes
but denies TO the President the right TO use
the military except in cases authorized by
the constitution and laws There is not,
we dare say, an honest, intelligent man IN
the United States, who puts his personal
. liberty above party success, who Will NOT
cordially endorse the Mcdonald bill. Yet
the Republican minority in Congress Will
oppose it, and that minority's tool in the
y White House, will veto It. They will do
:" this becauseit is the settled policy OF the
Republican party to use the army as
= police force, purpose for wmchits use was
n never contemplated by the men who made
of the constitution or by any administrator
-. until the dawn of the Grant era, The Re
'N' publicans in the Senate and House, ana IN
-. man in the White House, will oppose al,
on measure intended to restrict the employ
- ment of troops. AS the law stands, ever
ne citizen is compelled to aid United State
,al. marshal when summoned to assist him II
making arrests or enforcing any process
the This ought to be sufficient police force
?" But the administration and its supporter
= will insist on placing and keeping the arm
at the disposal of civil officers, as part
their programme for making the bayonC
the most prominent feature of civil admir-
THE men who laugh at the supposed di
comfture of the Democratic party by Il
repeated vetoes promulgated by the man
the White House, simply laugh at the tai
ed ure of an attempt TO strike manacle froI
at their limbs that will, one of these days
1t. chafe them TO the quick. The truth is tina
ed the issues raised by these vetoes, and upo
IN which the Republican managers have cleo
IN ted TO 90 to the country, would not b
be changed in any particular if submitted fC
ngs revision to the shrewdest politicians in I'll
Democratic party. The people will b
- asked 10 decide whether the democratic n

. continue, or centralized despotism
erected on its ruins. That is +hc sum Of q
