The broad view they take is, that healthy
competition in anything and especially IN the
carving trade, is the life Of commerce. The
object of Mr.. Gould is to form II connection
with the New Orleans Pacific at Shreveport

fort to get controlling interest in the Inter

amendment to the constitution of
Massachusetts. adopted in Know
Nothing times, declares that mo person
shall have Ca right 20 vote or be
eligible to Office under the constitution of
this commonwealth who shall not be able
to read the constitution in the English
language and write his name" This
provision, Butler claims, has been used in
Massachusetts as an instrument of politi-
cal oppression, and is the real cause of the
defeat of Moody Boynton. Taking the
state census for series of years Gen.
Butler draws the conclusion that of the
400. .S4l citizens of the United States in
Massachusetts, made so by the fourteenth
amendment, some 1876, $50 are disfran-
chised under the constitutional provisions
OF the state above cited. This provision,
he maintains. is in contravention OF the
first section of the fourteenth amendment
to the constitution OF the United states;
The right to vote, he argues, is one OF
the privileges and immunitles guaran-
teed to a citizen of the United States by
this amendment and he claims to be
able to demonstrate that l36. 500 citizens
of the United States resident in Massa-
cbusetts have their immunities and privi
leces abridged, and are deprived of their
rIght to vote 10 the state, iD violation of
the federal constitution. But the conciu-
sion which Butler draws FROM this is that
the representation in congress should be
reduced from eleven members to eight, and
its representation 10 the electoral college
from thirteen votes to ten. inasmuch rs he
claims that two thirds of her voters are de-
prived of citizenship on the ground of
illiteracy. Butler recommends, therefore,
that Loriug be unseated and Moody Boyn-
ton seated on the ground that the house
has the right to prevent wrongdoers from
enjoying the benefits of such wrongs,
either ID too great representation in the
house or in the electoral college. thereby
controlling the choice of president.

The DonnelIy-W ashburne contested
election case still remains unsettled. the
election committee seeming to be unwilling
to report their action to the house. If tbs
Democratic representatives are wise the
report of the committee which favors the
unseating of Washburne, should be re-
iected. The peoples rights should be
respected, no matter what political faith
they may entertain, and it would be worse

There are some members of congress
who seem 10 imagine that, in order to be
recognized as statesman it is necessary
to introduce some measure of financial
nature. There has been too much tinker
ing with the currency, already. and the
mass of the people are willing to let well
enough alone. Any attempt to disturb
the finances now would be blow at pros
perity, and it is hoped that congress will
have the good sense to leave the financial
question severely alone. for this session at
least. Let well enough alone.

The Democratic party has a clear ma
iority in the country of over quarter
million of votes, and it is beyond the
range of possibility to defeat the nominee
of the Democracy if wise counsels prevail.
IF, however, the haIlucinations of the
theoretical leaders .prevail. it were useless
to expect anything but defeat. What the
Democratic party sadly needs at this time
is practical leadership-such as will con-
vince the country that the party is in
earnest and that Democratic success, means
prosperity to the people. There should
catering to fanatical demagoguss, but a
square fight on the old, time honored prin-
ciples of Democracy. The party has
made mistake in the past By reaching
too far. It is time the practical members
OF the party took the management of
affairs, and the policy" men were ordered
aside. On the broad platform of univer-
sal liberty, and a government by and for
the people, sound financial policy and in
favor of a tariff for revenue only, the Dem
ocratic party can win the battle of 1880
against Grant or any other man the Re-
publicans choose to !name. If, however,
the Wishywashy policy of the would be
leaders prevails. and the party goes into
the contest on a platform of uncertain
meaning. defeat will be the outcome. no
matter who be the nominee. A platform
OF sound Democracy, with sound Demo
cratic candidates and practical leadership
will win. and anything less than this will
not. That's about the size of it, and
there is no use in lodging when the alter
native is 80 plainly presented.
