Democracy of the United States as far as we,
the chosen members of the present House OF
Representatives are entitled to be considered
as the true exponents of those aims and objects,
restoration of constitutional liberty, and with
it the restoration of peace, harmony and pros
perity throughout the length and breadth of
the land.
They abjure renewal of sectional strife.
They accept all legitimate results of the late
lamented war.
They are utterly opposed to revival in this
country, or any part thereof, of African slavery
any other king of slavery or involuntary
servitude, except as punishment for crime.
They stand pledged to maintain the union of
States under the constitution, with all its ex-
listing amendments, as they shall be expounded
by the supreme court of the United States.
They are against all unconstitutional or rev.
olutionary methods.
They are for law and order and protection of
life, liberty and property without respect or
persons or social conditions for the redress of
all grievances.
They look alone to the peaceful instruments
allty of the constitution, first, the law making
pnwer; second, the law expounding power,
third. the law executing power, and finally the
ultimate sovereign power of the ballot boz.
+. They are for FREQ ballot as well as for
fair and just count.
While they are opposed to a large standing
army, as were the trainers of the constitution.
yet they are for keeping the army sufficiently
large to repell invasion, defend our extensive
frontier, as well as all necessary interior forts
and garrisons, and to enable the President to
put down domestic violence or insure ction in
any of the States. and in aid of civil officers as
posse comitatus in the execution of legal pro-
cesses, in pursuance of the constitution, and as
provided in the acts of Congress of 1875 and
1895, but they are utterly opposed to the use OF
military forces of the United States in con-
trolling or in any way interfering with the
| freedom of elections.
They are for the maintenance OF the public
credit inviolate, but are utterly opposed to an
increase of the bonded debt unless the exl-
| gencies of war should render it necessary.
They are for retrenchment of expenditures,
the lessening of the burdens of taxation, and
thorough reform in the present unequal and
unjust method of raising the revenue.
They are for placing the coinage of gold and
silver upon the same footing, without restric-
tion or limitation upon the amount of either.
They are for rcviving the languishing and
perishing industries of the country by an in
creased volume of currency, founded on q
sound basis, sufficient to meet the urgent de-
mands of trade in every department OF labor
and business.
Without transacting any further business

rHE RAILROAD POOL.

The pool system on eastward bound
freight is lust now being put to a severe
strain in Chicago, with 4 possibility, II
not probability, that it will break
down under it.
By the method now in operation be-
tween the trunk lines, the freight sent
bv the several roads from Chicago is
ratably divided between the different
companies that have that city as their
western terminus. Recently the pres
spre for ear accommodation has been
excessive. and Tor some reason the New
York Central and its connections have
not been able To krcpup t. the demand.
The consequence has been that ship
pcrs have insisted ON sending the
merchandise eastward over the
PENNSYLVANIA or Baltimore d Ohio,
feeling sure Of quicker dispatch
bv these lines; and thus, in spite OF At
tcmp,s at equalization, these roals have
taken many thousand tons more than
their share OF eastward bound freight.
Their agents naturally wish to get the
credit coming from this readiness to
meet the wishes of the public, and are
not at all willing To remain idle while
the Lake shore and the Michigan Cen
trail work oT their quota IL may be
that this dissatisfaction will not end in
a positive rupture, but It Is not unlike
" that il may lead TO rgaiustment OF
proportions in the general pool.
