The present Democratic House has a
fair opportunity to make new depart

In the determination of contested elec

too common, regardless Of what party
was In control, to decide everything in
favor of the contestant who was of the

Both parties have INDUCED In this
scsndalous business to the shame of fair
play and the disgrace Of Congress. The
Republicans played the game reckless
ly and remorselessly during the recon

say, the only question asked was (Which
Is our id rascal ?" Its climax was
reached by the electoral commission, in
the proceedings of which the Republi

everything to establish the titles Of the

technicalities were made TO yield TO

In another the equities were sacrificed to

Az important deliverance on Irish affairs
has Just been made by Mr.. Joseph Cham
berlain, the well known English Radical
leader and prominent member Of tho
Gladstone cabinet. In his address at
Wolyerhampton on Tuesday he takes the
high ground that 1t is "tho bounden duty
of the Liberal party to do its utmost to
remove just causes of discomfort and dis.
affection in Ireland. 1t must no longer
tolerate such sham, fraud and transpar-
ent imposture as the present Irish parlia-
mentary representation system, where one
in twenty-five has vote. The perpctua-
tion of this injustice would justify disaf-
fection, give the leaders of the Irish party
the strongest arguments for a separation
as showing that it was impossible to obtair
| justice from the British parliament anC
give fresh vigor to tho agitation which i
is to our interest TO allay." This utter
anco, coming as it does with the ofiicia
weight Of government declaration
probably marks the beginning of an intelli
gent policy for Ireland, ard as such it will
be eagerly hailed by the friends Of freedom
in every Cline.

Whether these shall be counted for
Chalmers or not is the question. Under
Republican precedent in Pennsylvania
they would not be. In 1850, Edgar
Pinchot was candidate for an elector
In this state and ran 5,l0l behind his
ticket, because that many votes were re.
turned for Edward" Pinchot, and the
Republican returning board would not
tabulate them for Edgar Plnchot, for
whom they were obviously intended, If
this technical rule he applied to MIS-
sissippi 1t would work to Chalmers dis
advantage and seat the Democratic
contestant.
In the Mayo. Garrison case from Nir.
ginia, the case is reversed:
| MAYO Is q Readjuster and Garrison Is q
| Democrat. The latter had q majority of
| 20, but the board of canvassers threw out
| IA of his votes from Hogg Island because,
owing to an accident to the steamboat in
which tho messenger who carried the re
| turns travelled, tho returns were not re
ceived until late and 81 votes from
| Gloucester county, because the word
county was written on the seal and
not impressed, although the votes tol
Gov. Cameron and all the members of thC

Of the board, and, therefore, Mayo's ma

Here the Democrat was equitably, bu
not technically, elected. There are two
sides to both cases. Obviously If The

must be regarded In the othef if tn
