Hot Springs Again,

On last Monday mOrning there appeared on
the desk of each member OF the House of
Representatives what nurports TO bo com.
muncation from zone Who Knows" contain.
Ing uupardonabc structures on the Senate in
tho passage Of the Hot Springs bill as amended
by that body. This communication was ad.
dressed to no one particularly, and tho Ru hor
was shrewd enough not to append his auto.
graph to it, The truth Is, that tho debate
and action by the Senate on the Hot Springs
bill not only disclose tho wish and desire of
inorc than ninety pr cent. of all those inter-
csted there, but does the very thing that
ought to be done, namely, finally settle titles
that have been in controversy for forty years,
preventing the Improvement aud growth Of
the place that is so much needed to make the
valuable waters Of those springs effective In
the cures that Nature designed them to per-
form.
The bill rs amended will accomplish the
much desired end. II will cause the imnie.
diate improvement of the town and thus af.
ford tho much needed accommodations for
the thousands of afIl &c ed that annually visit
these springs. Tho reduction of the appraise.
incnts of property is fair to the claimants and
just to the Government
The payment of tho certificates in the man.
ner provided by the Senate amendment is the
moral duty of Congress. These certificates
were authorized to be issued by tho act Of
dcmned by the Commission for the purpose
of laying out, strengthening mud widening
streets aud alleys aud the location and fixing
the boundary Of tho present reservation, en-
bracug the Hot or thermal springs. II it was
not intended that they should be paid, why
authorize them to be issued
The slang of "Onc Who Knows" and his
OF her appeal will not be likely 10 make any
impression against the Senate amendments
wlon IL is known that both of the Arkansas
Senators and tho delegation in the House, and
nearly all the people at Hot Springs are satis
fed with tho bill as amended.
The Daily Telegraph aud the Daily Sentinel
of Hot Springs, the only papers published
there, in their issue of the Goth Instant, which
reached here last evening, strongly approve
the Hot Springs bill as it passed tho Senate,
and urge upon the people of that place to
make known to the House their desire that
the bill shall become a law in the form IN
which IL left tho Senate

contiguous districts are situated in n city or
other dcnsely populated neighborhood, or

To the Editor of The National Republican;
SIR In listening to the debates in tho

/ have been astounded at the insincerity and
impudenGe of tho Democratic leldors. AS
founded that they could look Republican in
the face and dare make the claim, that their
proposed legislation was to promote free and
fair elections, not to mention the Infamous
record of tho party, The monstrous frauds

which (by rclegating the party that perpe-
tratGd IL to eternal Obliyion) would prove
them incapable Of self-government. There
would still be ample, undeniable evidence of
the real Rnimus and intent Of tho party In
its unbrQken, cussedly mouotOnous record of
opposition TO aud unccasing attempts to break
down and wipe out all laws and safeguards to
secure the freedom and purity of elections
Given tho attitude aud record of tho Demo-
cratic party toward the election laws, tho
logical sequence would be fraud and murder
in the elections. Political parties Cooking to
the people for supporL) do not nOed lessly inspire
suspicion and criticism by putting them
selves on record as preparing aud paving tho
