The beauty of Democratic legislation
was never more plainly seen than in the
passage of the amended army appropri-
alton bill on Wednesday of last week.
The Democrats spent nearly week in
perfecting their bill to meet an improb'
able exigency, in secret caucus. They
discussed it in caucus after caucus.
They amended and revised it in secret
and finally. after much labor and pains
got it ready to introduce. They intro.
duced itone morning and under the op
Grafton of the previous question passed
it the next day without one word of de.
bate. There was no explanation of it,
provisions in open house. Like gang
of conspirators the caucus had met and
the members of that caucus alone under.
stood what the bill meant or what they
meant it should mean. There was nc
occasion for this indecent haste. Nc
great crisis WA at hand which the pass
age of the bill would affect. It va,
simply legislation by caucus. Who
rules the caueusf To this question
there is but one answer. The Demo
Gratis are in bare majority in Congress
In q Democratic caucus the member
from the Southern States are in largf
majority. To-day the country is ruled
by caucus-and caucus is ruled by The
solid South. These facts cannot truth
fully be denied.

The new Constitution of California
makes some radical changes in the organ
ic law of the State. The general provis.
ion as to suffrage is much the same as in
other States, except that it is declared
that no native of China shall ever exer-
else the privileges of an elector in the
State election. Except in case of felony,
treason or breach of the peace, electors
are privileged from arrest on election
days. The Chinese are declared to be
dangerous and the Legislatureis directed
to discourage their immigration by all
the means within its power, to pass laws
to prohibit their introduction into the
State, and to delegate all necessary pow.
er to incorporate cities and towns to re-
move them without their limits. Their
employment on public works is prohib'
tied, and all corporations are forbidden
to employ them. The latter provision ID
pronounced unconstitutional by many
good lawyers.
