A TEST QUESTION.

The Supervisor and Election La,cs.
The important election cases, which in
volve the oonstitutionality of the federal SUI
pervisor and election laws, will be argued in
the United States supreme court this week.
They are cases which come up from Mary
land and Ohio, in which persons indicted
and convicted for interfering with United
States deputy marshsls and supervisors seek
relief through habeas corpus or otherwise
The attorney general has completed his brief
in the Maryland case, which involves the
same principle as the Ohio case. The facts
briefly are these: Several judges of elections
in Baltimote refused to permit United
States deputy marshals or supervisors to en-
ter the polling booths, or to perform their
duties as United States officers in witnessing
the election. They were indicted and con-
victed. They sue for writs of habeas cor
pus, and it is the hearing upon the petition
for this writ that will come up this week.
The points made by Attorney General Dew
ems for the United States are briefly these:
First That Congress has full and unqual
flied power to regulate the manner of holding
the elections of its members.
Second-That the power of Congress to
regulate the manner of holding elections of
its members includes authority to adopt
whatever measures may be deemed necessary
or expedient to conduct such elections and
to determine their result.
Third-That Congress can punish any
violation of laws under the aforesaid power,
as we'll as any interference with the of
6cers charged with the execution of such
laws.
Fourth-That the statutory provisions
under which the convictions were had are
appropriate for carrying into effect the
power granted to Congress to regulate the
manner of holding elections for representa-
tives.
Under these four general heads the argu-
ments in these very important political cases
proceed. It will be argued on behalf of the
United States that any State laws which in
terfere with the federal laws relative to the
election of Congressman, are imperative and
void; that the entire criminal law of the
United States rests upon the identical grant
of power under which the federal election
laws were enacted; that the acts of the Ma
ryland State officials were offenses against
the United States; that employment in any
capacity, by State, cannot relieve person
from liability to the United States; that
when State election law interferes with 9
federal law relative to the election Of Con-
greesmen the State law must yield, as the
laws OF Congress in this regard are superior
to the laws of State. Should the United
States supreme court affirm the constitution
atty Of these laws, the Democrats, in any
assaults upon the supervision law next win
ter, would have no ground to Stand upon.

BEEoHER's championship of the Cornell
Kelly cause in New York is provoking a
good many animadversions in the public
prints. IA member of Plymouth church,
tells the old man that he ought to be
ashamed to train with that crowd, and refers
to Prof. Conkling's malodorous person
al record as reason why a minister
of the gospel should refuse to support any
man recommended by him. But, bad as
Prof. Conkling may be, his character is al
most as white as snow when compared with
Beecher's. The professor, not Beecher,
loses by the association.

WITH but two or three exceptions the
members Of the cabinet, together with Mr..
Hayes, have returned to Washington, and
are going through the motions of attending
to business. Mr.. Wheeler has disappeared
again, however, but as the fishing season is
nearly over he may be expected to turn up
soon. After the rest of the cabinet get
weary of making political speeches in def
ance of the civil service order of their chief,
we may expect to see the wheels of govern
ment once more set in motion.

Our railroad officials report that there is
an increased inquiry for transportation of
emigrants from both Europe and the Eastern
States to points in Minnesota and Dakota,
and that many parties that had originally in
tended going to Kansas have changed their
minds. This diversion of the tide of i'm
migration is attributed, to great extent, to
the negro exodus from the South to Kansas.
Few white families care to go where they
will be compelled to associate and labor in
competition with the 'colored race Mime
sofa is likely to profit largely from the negro
immigration to Kansas.

which implicate Yakoob Khan in conspir

martial has been summoned to try him. It
is becoming more and more evident that
Russia was at the bottom of the massacre of

In his recent speech in New York Score

In his recent speech in New York Secre-
tary Evarts charged against the Democratic
party that it was the first to introduce poll.
tics into the jury box by the passage of a law
at the extra session Of Congress compelling
the panel of all juries to be composed of an
equal number of Democrats and Republi-
cans. He overlooked the fact that for many
years past fealty to the Republican party
has been one Of the requirements of all
jurors in federal courts, and that it was the
Republicans who introduced this feature.
The Democrats simply required that the
juries should not be all one-sided-s very
proper regulation, especially when political
questions were to be adjudicated.

THE DEMOCRAT NOMINEE FOE
GOTERNOR

THE DEMOCR9Il NOMINEE FOR
GOTERNOR.
When the Democratic State convention
placed Hon. Edmund Rice at the head of
their ticket, they made selection which
commends itself to the people irrespective
of party affiliations. The attempt to make
national campaign in Minnesota this year
is puerile. It is all the stock in trade the
Republicans have, and hence they cling to the
sanguinary garment with great zeal. There
is, however, nothing more of national
character involved in the State ticket than
there is in contest for coroner. No Legis-
'lative or Congressional tickets are in the
field, and whatever the result, its effect does
not extend beyond the boundary line of the
State. @@ i-G.
It is not often that such canvass as the
present one is to be found, and it would be
creditable to the people to rise above party
trammels and honor citizen who has done
so much as Hon. Edmund Rice to advance
the State. Mr.. Rice has given ever quar-
ter of century, being the very best years of
his life, to the public service of Minnesota.
We say public service, not in the sense of
having been an offceholder, but as the head
Of enterprises for the public>benefit. He in
augurated the railroad system which now
spreads out vast net work over the entire
State. He bore the brunt of the labor of
organization, and above all, of the securing
of capital to construct them. When
there was not mile of railroad in
Minnesota, and only one-tenth of our pres
emit population, he mapped out the system,
substantially as it stands to-day, with cars
running over nearly three thousand miles of
rails. After obtaining Congressional aid he
visited Europe, in search of capitalists to
open this State to the world. Those who
look at the work in its present stage of adj
vancement can scarcely realize the energy
and courage which it required to make the
beginning. With the increased population
and agricultural advancement which have
followed the railroads, it is easy to see
that great returns are sure to flow from we'll
managed railroad enterprises in Minnesota,
but it was no easy matter, when almost
the entire State was wilderness, to convince
capital that this was the case. It was the
ability and high character of Hon. Edmund
Rice which set the ball in motion and gave
Minnesota her great advancement and pros
parity. ..
The best years of Mr.. Rice's life were
given to this work and now, for the first
time, the people have an opportunity to
show their gratitude. he is not railroad
magnate. He has not enriched himself, and
though he ranks as the protector and author
of our railroad system he holds
no position connected with any railroad.
He has seen his most sanguine hopes more
than realized, and his only reward is the
consciousness that he has done his share
faithfully and well to advance the State of
his adoption.
The least that the people of Minnesota
can do is to place him for two years at the
head of the State which is so largely indebt-
ed to his foresight and ability for being able
to occupy her present proud position.

TIE Moblle I1sgsSteT explains tho Bolldlty
of the South in this wise:
The South is solid because We of the South
are the peculiar victims of Republican policy, a
policy which actually subjected for six mortal
years and which would subject again property
to pauperism, intelligence to ignorance, hon
esty to theft and peace to anarchy. The North
is not solid and cannot become so. since the
theory of government which the Republican
party would apply to the South strikes at tn,
liberties of the North ind South alike.
This is concise and to the point. Can it
be expected that any people will kiss the
hand that smote it-vote for the party that ia
the cause of all the woes that have for 80
many years afflicted it? It is asking too
much of human nature. III
