THE RUINED TOWN.

Present Condition Of Marshleld, MO.-WhSt Has
Been Done for the Sufferers and What They
Need
Marshtield, Mo-, May "A delegation from st,
Louis Merchants Exchange came down on q spe-
cial car Of the st. Louis and San Francisco Rail-
road last night to look over the ruined tOWA Of
Marshded.
It was learned from Mr.. Murray, Chairman Of
the Relief Committee of Springfield thatthe gen.
eral public has no conception Of the suffering
and destitution ocoasiOned by the tornado, and
reports continue to come in of people killed and
wounded throughout the country. No pen can
describe the desolateness Of the place. The
warmth and brightness Of the day appeared like
mOckery in the presence OF the burial place Of
a ohce prosperous town Of 1900 iuhabitants
There are now 83 persons in the Hospital; two Of
these will probably die Five OF the wounded
have died since the tornado. The exact number
Of dead up to date is 65.
The Relief Committee Is now giving aid to 800
persons. There are plenty Of tents here and no
need ofshelter Most of the business part of the
town is to be rebuilt Immediately, but not dol
lar OF funds sent here for relief Is to be applied
In that direction. No money whatever is paid
out by the Committee, that the relief is all dis
tributed In the shape Of clothing, food and med.
iCsl attendance. More than the Committee has
In hand will be needed. The total cash received
here reaches nearly $4,000, but calls for ten
times as much. People here talk Of the aid ex'
tended to them with tears In their eyes.

The Republican state convention at
Columbus last week resulted as was ex-
pected, in a victory for the friends of
Sherman, who had an overwhelming
majority of the delegates, 1t is hardly
a barren victory since the Sherman men
omitted to instruct the delegates to vote
as a unit for Sherman at Chicago. They
only instructed the delegates at large to
80 vote, but merely requested the dis
trict delegates. The request will be dis.
regarded by the delegates from the
Blaine districts, and thus at least twelve
delegates are lest to Sherman, who will
go to Chicago with his own state divided
against him. The following state ticket
was nominated Secretary Of State,
Charles Townsend, of Athens; Supreme
Court Judge Geo. W. McIlvaine (renom-
inated) Clerk of Supreme Court, Dwight
Crowell, of AshtabuIa; School Commis-
sioner, Prof. DeWolf, of Summit Mem
Der of Board of Public Works, S. r,
Hosmer, of Muskingum.

THE Pennsylvania Board of Pardons,
all Republican state officials, after half
an hours private consultation last week,
recommended the pardon of Kemble,
Crawford, Salter Petrof and Rumberger,
in 80 far as their imprisonment is con.
cerned. The Supreme Court has often
decided enlarged sentences unlawful,
and by common law imprisonment in
the penitentiary has been regarded as
Infamous. AS these are ofenses recent
ly made punishable, and the first convic.
tions under the new law, the Board rec.
ommends as above.
Thus does this Republican Board take
care of convicted Republicans. Cover
nor Hoyt at once issued his pardons as
to the one years imprisonment, leaving
the 81 900 fine to be pai1, or not, as the
culprits are financially able or unable.

SHALL CONGRESS BE WHOLLY
SUBsERVIENT TO THE WILL OF
THE EXECUTIVE.
A serious question is gradually devel.
oping in the contest now going on be.
tween Congress and the White House,
the occupant of which is mere tool in
the hands of the willy, unprinCipled lead
ers who control the destinies of the Re-
publican party.
The question referred to, is as to the
use of the military at the polls. The
Radical leaders, seeing their tool is in
the Presidential chair, claim that Con-
gress must appropriate money to enable
the executive to use special deputy mar
shals at elections, and the military in
addition.
Grants ex Secretary of the Navy Rob-
eson, now a member of the House, took
the strange ground the other day, that
to keep troops away from the polls was
to subordinate the civil to the military
authority and Hawley of Connecticut,
denounced all riders on all allappropriation
bills, although, when the Republican
party held Congress, it was a constant
practice with them. But consistency
seems to be ruled out of their voca bu-
larry.
Mr.. Lowe, the ex Chancellor OF the
English Exchequer, contributes paper
to the current number of the Nineteenth
Century, which may contain news for
some of the Republican Representatives.
Mr.. Lowe says:
"Most of the nations of Europe had
some kind of Parliament, but the Parlia.
ment of England has alone been able to
preserve it's power untarnished and un.
broken. Why wac this? 1t was thus2
1t was simply because, by the happy
constitution of England, the power of
the purse was reserved to the Commons,
X An ambitious and warlike king
unable to live on the revenue of his
crown, was obliged to come for money to
the Parliament, and the Parliament
granted him subsidy in consideration
Of the abatement of some particular
grievance, and thus by degrees we bought
ourselves free from all our expressions.
The Commons still retain the right of
the purse; no money can be granted
without their assent, and thus they have
become the principal power in the realm.
The right of refusal draws after it tie
right of being furnished with the pur
pose for which the money is required,
and consequently the right of being con.
suited as to the policy for which the
money is to be spent"
Now, the power of Congress is exactly
analogous to the power of the British
Parliament. The ridiculous idea that
the Legislature has no right to attach
conditions to the expenditure of the
money it votes, was never heard of un.
til the Republicans found it convenient
to raise that pretense. The Congress
could have no power whatever over the
government Of the country, if they con-
sent to provide money for the executive
department without being consulted as
to the policy for which the money is to
be spent But this is what the Republic
can leaders claim. 1t is the claim of the
despot-a step towards Imperialism just
what every tyrant ruler has claimed. 1t
is contrary to the plain principles of
popular government

THE discussion in the House on the
Garfield amendment to the Deficiency
bill, put the Republicans in box. 1t
was the same amendment, word for
word, offered by Garfield last spring,an
which the Democrats accepted, and both
sides voted for, only 81 votes being cast
against its passage then. The Republi-
can members, Garfield included, both in
the Senate and House, displayed their
inconsistency by fighting and voting
against their own amendment of last
spring, Mr., Garfield spoke On it few
days since, and was on both sides of the
question, sometimes receiving applause
from the Democratic side and sometimes
from his Republican brethren. He ad-
mitted the proposition was just and le.
gal, but thought it imperfect, and seeing
his own bantling had been adopted by
the Democrats, of course, opposed it.
The House approved of some of the
amendments of the Senate, and disap.
proved of others, SO that a committee of
conference was necessary.

Mr.. GARnELD's views concerning the
duty on wood pulp has not helped him
any. The Ways and Means Committee
have positive evidence that the advance
i'm the price of paper has been four cents
"a pound, while the cost of producing it
has been but one and half cents, and
Mr.. Garfeld's guarded statement about
avoring a duty on wood pulp and print
ing paper, "as low as it can be reduced
without absolutely destroying the indus
tries Of the country" leaves the impres.
sion that he favors no reduction at all.

THE Repository of Monday errs in say.
ing the Democratic county convention
last Saturday, in the Opera House, was
only in session about twenty minutes
The lying little article was no doubt the
production of some outside specimen,
more governed by mean envy and NAL.
ice than by regard for truth. Our con.
vention was in session as long, if not
longer, than the Republican county Goa.
vention that instructed for Blaine and
ours was harmonious, while the Blaine
affair was anything but lovely in that re.
1pect.
The Rep. gives great latitude to its out
side editors especially those who de.
light to falsify, and spit out venom al
local Democratic conventions. Our con.
vention was called for at one o'clock
and it was called to order at half past
Ole. The business, all we had to do, was
done deliberately, fairly and acceptably
