what Does Ht Meant

WIN. b. Washburne, Republican, was elect
ed to Congress in November, 1878, in the
Third Congressional District of Minnesota,
by a majority Of BOZ votes over notorious
politician named Donnelly, a Greenback
Granger, whom portion of the Democrats
voted for because they had no hope of elect
ing a man of their own party, so decidedly
Republican is the district. At the time there
was no complain that the election was not q
fair one. Mr.. Washburne, younger broth
er of Hon L. Il. Washburue and ex-Gov
Washbume Of Maine, is a popular and sue
cessful business man, who, as the Republican
candidate, called out more than a party vote
in his own section. In the course of few
months Donnelly, who is q man who has
been in all parties and has been cast out by
all. announced a purpose to contest the cleo
ton on the ground of bribery and intimida-
ton He carried his case to Washington,
and has been heard by subcommittee of
the Committee on Elections. That commit
tee had several meetings and listened to ex-
tended arguments, but the contestant has not
succeeded in establishing a single one of
these charges by the evidence submitted
And now it is understood that the Democratic
members Of the subcommittee, without con-
sulting their Republican associates, have
voted to report in favor of unseating Mr..
Washburne.
1t is needless to add that there is not the
slightest ground for this action. The Repub-
licsn majority is not greater than the average
party majority the past ten years when the
Democrats have nominated a strong party
man to contest the district What, then, Is
the motive which leads the members of this
committee to propose to unseat a member
backed by over 5000 majority? There can
be but one, and that is to get control of the
vote Of Minnesota in the House in the expec-
tation that the choice of President will be
thrown into that body. This can easiest be
done by removing a member in Minnesota,
which will give the Democrats two of dele
cation Of three in State which will give the
Republican candidate for President 20, 900
majority in 1880. Thus does the House ma
jority, which was secured by the grossest
election frauds in six States, propose to Sc
cure the vote of decided Republican States
like Minnesota The country will watch this
case with the deepest interest when it comes
up in the House. II the majority in that
body shall vote to unseat Mr.. Wsshburne, in
telligent men will come to the conclusion that
the Democratic managers are preparing to
carry the next presidential election by such
outrRges as that contemplated by the sub
committee in the case of Mr.. Washburne.

LOOKING AFTER THE PANAMA CANAL.
two coaling stations, which Secretary Thomp-
son has Just sent two naval vessels. one in
the Gulf and one on the Pacific coast, to es-
tablish in Central America as points of obser-
walton, are on a grant of some 1000, 900
acres in Guatemala running across from the
gulf Dolc to the bay of Chiriqui, to which
American citizens have had dormant claim
for nearly 80 years. The tract was under liti-
cation in 1854, in 1859 coal was mined on il,
and in 1869 it was proposed that it should be
used as the basis of grand colonization
scheme to whose support one-quarter of the
lands sold for direct taxes or confscated were
devoted by Congress. In some of the earlier
maps the grant is designated as the pink
slip" and the possibility that the United
States might assert the rights of its citizens
to this tract has been all along one of the dip
lomatic factors of the disputes over the ca
nalization of the isthmus. The colonization
scheme fell through owing to the protest of
New Granada, but Congress made an appro-
priation in behalf of the enterprise of $500,
600, of which $25, 900 was expended.

1t is stated that new applications for pen
sions are pouring into the interior depart
ment at the rate of 1000 per month. Where
they come from is a mystery. Some 25O, 900
100000 claims are pending, and these num-
bers indicate that nearly one-half the men en-
Ii sted in the Union army were either killed,
wo unded, or disabled by disease while in the
service. 1t is certainly an extraordinary fact
that, after lapse of fifteen years, some 233
persons should daily discover that they are
entitled to relief from the government.

Score two more victories for the cause of
woman's rights: In New York bill making
women eligible to serve as school trustees,
and permitting them to vote at elections for
school officers, has passed the Legislature,
without dissenting voice in the Senate, and
with only three noes in the Assembly, and
has promptly received Gov. CornelPs sigma
ture, making it law, and counting in New
York as the twelfth State to give woman lin
tied suffrage. In California the Supreme
Court has decided that women cannot be ex-
cluded from the Hastings law school in the
State university on account of their sex, and
that female applicants for admission stand on
precisely the same ground as males. This
decision was called out by the refusal of the
directors of the law school to admit as a stu
dent Clara Foltz, practicing lawyer. She
and sister lawyer argued her case before
the supreme judges and won it.

Belgium, too, has been disturbed by the
religio- educational question, which has final
ly resulted in a recommendation from the
Pope to the clergy to follow the example of
the Bishop of Malines, and give religious in
struction in the churches to the children of
the public elementary schools This recon-
mendation has been received with great salts
faction in Belgium, inasmuch as, if it is acted
on, as will probably be the case, it puts an
end to- the strife, and establishes the right of
the State to control its own educational affairs
without ecclesiastical interference.
