The Reform funeral is about to open. Let there
be solemn silence.
Rejoice. gentle cOparceners. You and THE IRIB-

Perhaps the fact that Mr. Potter means business
is the reason Idcn didn't lift that clamor.
The solid Southern statesmen are evidently deter
mined that the Republicans shall not lack ISSUES in
1880.
Before the cipher investigation is finished it will
appear that a great deal of valuable ammunition
has been wasted on their alleged surrcptltlous
capture.
Their. is but one rational explanation for the reck-
less course of Southern statesmen. They are lore
ordained to send the Democratic party TO eycrlast-
ing smash.
The Administration should keep an eye on that
correspondent of Senator Gordon, who iayorS

Perhaps Mr.. Dorshrimer VIII be able to extract
some comfort from that empty nomination for SEN

The annual report Of the State Beard of Chair

organization which does an important work. Not

Board earnest representation of these evils to the

The intentions OF the Democratic party with
regard to the laws for the protection of the
electoral franchise will be plainly enough dis
PLAYED bv tn, action of its Senators on the
Edmunds and Morgan resolutions. Mr.. Ed
munds proposed TO reattirm the validity OF
the Constitutional Amendments, to de-
clare that all the people have COM
mon interest III the enforcement Of
their PROVISIONS, and to instruct the Judi
ciarv Committee to report bill for the equal
protection of all qualified citizens IN the right
10 vote for Representatives i'll Congress. His
resolutions have no reference to the confer
ring of any new rights or obligations; they
relate only to constitutional principles abOuC
which there is no dispute; they amount To II
syllogism whose premises cannot be denied,
and whose conclusion Ii irresistible. The Dem
ocrats III the Senate, however, will not accept

Mr.. Morgan's first three resolutions, so far
rs they differ from those Of Mr.. Edmunds
consist principally of sentences copied from
the decisions OF the Supreme Court IN the
Kentucky and Louisiana election cases. Those
decisions, pronounced in 1876, upset certain
sections OF the Enforcement Act. and lald
down thc principles: |. That the Fifteenth
Amendment does not confer suffrage upon any
one, hut only forbdS the, States or the
United States to exclude any one from voting

" Couoyess can interfere and pr0ridc for its

Supreme Court does not agree with the DEM

caucus to be reminded that all the Judges
except Hunt and Clifford cOncurred III this
opinion.

The election of Mr.. Charles L. Smith as Regent
of the University, Is more than mere
compliment to one of the most accomplished
journalists in the State. By virtue of his
prominence - the discreet conductor Of the
central organ of the Republican party, and
for many year, the author Of the state platforms,
Mr. smith was indeed well entitled TO consideration
from IA fepubhcan Legislature. But the Board OF
Regents number among their other duties the care
Of the State Library, and the State is provid-
ing for this library one of the largest and finest
room, devoted to such purposes IN any public
building in the country. One entire front of the
new Capitol is given to the State Library. From
the nature Of the case, the Albany members of the
Boari OF Regents Will be particularly charged with
the Development of the great collection which is to
I'll this noble room. 1t is right therefore, that the
Albany representation IN the Board should he not
merely increased but greatly strengthened by this
