THE Republicans unseated Shelley, of
the Fourth Alabama District, the Re-
publican contestant having died. The
people of his district in November re-
elected Shelley by an increased major
ity. In the Eighth Alabama District
they gave Wheeler's seat to Lowe, but
Lowe also died and Wheeler wssTe-elect-
ed at a special election held on Tuesday
last. In South Carolina they set aside
the large majOrities by which Dibble
and 'Tillman were elected and gave their
seats to Mackey, the fOrger, and iSmalls,
a negro. At the November election the
people righted the wrong and elected
Dibble and Tillman to the next Con-
gress. Here are four seats in the House
which the Republicans stole at the last
session in order to patch out their ma
jority, and in every case the people re-
yeTsed the decision, and send back to
Congress the unseated members.

THE passage of Senator Pendleton's
civil service bill through the House with
a rush last week, was quite a surprise,
and was due to the shrewd management
of s. 8. Cox. 1t is said Mr.. KassOn, who
had charge Of it, did not really want it
to pass, OF at least wanted to take the
meat out of it before it should pass, and
had counted on a weeks discussion, and
was prepared, himself, with big speech.
When KassOn was about to open with a
speech to last day or two, Mr.. Cox pro-
posed the bill be put through without
debate.
"He had not got the words fairly out
of his mouth, when there went up the
cheer that delights the soul of leaders of
men. Members crowded around him.
They shouted ''Vote, vote" They cheer
ed 80 loud that Keifer turned red with
the energy of his blows with the gavel.
Yet the beating of the hammer was not
heard. The Democratic side could not
be controlled, nor were they alone in
their expression of approval. Many Re-
publicans took up the chorus. There
was no running away from that senti-
ment. 1t shattered diplomacy, and Kas-
son standing there dumfOunded, knew
not what to do"
KsssOn at last inquired if Mr.. Cox
represented his party, when the shout
went up, "He does; he does; vote, vote"
Republicans also joined in the chorus
KassOn, to gain time, demanded the
reading of the bill, and while being
read, he counted his party members, and
found them too, ready to vote. A hall
hour is allowed, under the rules, before
the vote can be taken under the preVi-
GUS question.
Calkins taunted the Democrats, and
tried to provoke them into voting
against the bill. He said they were to
be congratulated for tying the hands of
Democratic President in 1885, ITO keep
our fellows in" If they could stand it,
the Republicans could. He thought
they deserved all praise for throwing
away their chances at the public crib.
But Calkins made no impression, except
to provoke laughter on the Democratic
side. Several members made twO-min-
ute speeches, then the bill was brought
to vote. 1t passed by 155 to At Re-
publicans voting no.

THE POWER OF THE-PEoPLE.

Senator PendletOn'5 bill to improve
the subordinate civil Iservice was in
troduced at the session prior to this and
had but little prospect of passing. The
party intrenched in power and having
control of both branches of Congress,
dreamed of no startling reverse at the
elections, and hence7were not anxious
to do anything to disturb their hundred
thousand friends in position or any part
of them. On the other hand, Democrats,
almost universally, approved Of the OBJ
jeet Of the bill.
The results of the late elections
startled with alarm the spoilsmen and
political hacks in position, in and out
Of Congress; and when Congress met
they were chastened and meek by adVer-
sity. Before the elections the bill could
not have been brought to a vote in
either branch, and what the measure
will accomplish no one knows. To be
effectual, it must be honestly enforced.
Spoilsmen are ever on the alert, and
seek to run the machine" in their own
interest. The late elections convinced
them that the people are in earnest for
a return to honest government, and
hence the prompt passage Of the Pendle-
ton bill.
One member of the House made a
strong and earnest speech against the
bill, saying it would be inefficient,
though he favored the object and pur-
pose. 1t is not to be supposed the act
will work wonders and become efficient
all at once. 1t is step in the right d.
rection, however, and the moral effect
win be valuable. 1t is an act of Con.
Rress, not a convention buncombe reso-
luton. Il is reality, not a sham In
this respect.

The only revenue tariff ever enacted
in this country was in 1916, when all
departments of the government were
Democratic. Under it our manufactures
progressed fairly and our commerce ex-
panded in American ships.

JOIN sHERMAN,s WHISKY BILL.

Passed the Senate on the 4th inst, by
a vote of % to 20. And IL the whisky
lobby had been away from Washington
it is not likely the bill would have had
three majority. Senator Sherman has
always taken charge of the whisky busi-
ness. 1t is said the now wealthy Sena-
tor made his first raise early In the war,
when, as chairman of the committee on
ways and means of the House. he manip-
ulated the first whisky ring business.
The bill that has just passed is one to
allow the 100000 gallons of whisky
now in bond to remain in bond two
years longer, thus tying, up $SO,0O0,OOO
of taxes.
Edmunds insisted that the proposed
bill was special legislation of the worst
kind. Whisky manufacturers. sought
from Congress relief for their own mis-
takes. No other trade dared ask for such
relief. If the relief be granted, prece-
dent will be established that may prove
very disastrous. When the proposed eX-
tension of time had elapsed, these peO-
pie would be in the same fix, in his Opin-
ion, they now claim to be, and there
would be nothing for them to do but ask
further relief. Meanwhile they will go
on producing and OveTprOducing for the
next two years. There was no reason
why this interest should be relieved that
did not apply to any'Other interest.
Morgan went further, and suggested
that the proposed bill was being engi-
/ neeTed by speculatOTs and whisky man
ufacturers, who expect to keep their
whisky in bond until the internal Teye-
nue. taxes is abolished, then will expect
| the taxes due on this bonded whisky to
be remitted. But the argument was use
/ less. The whisky lobby had done its
work well. While Sherman fought for
| the bill on the floor, he must have been
/ specially stimulated by the whisky lob
| by in the members gallery. One OF
these had tally sheet, and checked of
| the votes of the Senate on the various
amendments, as we'll as that on the tinal
| passage of the bill. Last year this lobby
sent around cases of Sthe choicest Old
whisky to influential people.
| SheFman'S zeal was greater than his
discretion, in view of the fact that Ed
munds was listening to his pleadings
Sherman said that whisky and tobacco
were the great American products tina
we're not protected by high prOtectiv,
duties, and therefore ought to receive
special consideration. Edmunds though
this remarkable statement for an eX
Secretary of the Treasury. He reminded
Sherman that whisky and tobacco weTt
very highly protected. Then Sherman
said that what he meant to say was tina
whisky and tobacco were the only Amer
lean products that were taxed. All o
Sherman's arguments, and his plaintiv
presentation of the sOTrOws of the whis
ky people were shown by Edmunds
Morgan, Allison and Hale to be speciOu
and puerile. But the lobby prevailed
The clients of Sherman got their bill
through by vote of % to 20. If tn
bill passes the House some SSOOOO,OO
of taxes will stand unpaid for two year
more, while every other taxed cOmmOd
ity must foot its bills promptly. 49,.
