method that has always been in vogue with

valuable information from tho experience of
our republican brethren in such matters As

publicans or democrats, do not appear to
Instruct with that unanimity that Ia par
tiCularly grateful to a party manager. In fact
the average delegate has strong propensity

upon the slightest provocation. You will
remember that in the last republican national

winner and stuck to him until he made Gar.
field president. But while we will have no

may take one thing will DO settled fact. In
the event that there is any show for Ponn-
sylvanla az Chicago you can safely wager
that Mr.. Randall will have unanimous

what about Mr. Randalls visit to the sage

"Well, that may mean anything. 1t would

Tho World Moves.

The text of Mr.. Gladstone's recent speech
on. tho reform bill, extending the elective
franchise, has been received in late English
papers. 1t was in Mr.. Gladstone's best STYLE
and in all respects great speech. At one
point in his argument he paid a remarkable
tribute to tho United states. He was speak
ing in favor of government Of the people and
by the people, aud of the extension of the
elective franchise as means Of strengthening
the government. Here he said:
SIR may cay as an illustration, believe that
never has this great truth been so wildly shown
as in the recent war of the American republic.
The Convulsion of that country between 1861 and
1865 was perhaps the most frlghtful which ever
Us allied national existence. The efforts which
were made on both sides were marked The OK.
erions by which alone the movement was put
down were not only extraordinary, but they were
what would have been called by anticipation i'm.
possible, and they were only rendered possible by
the fact that they proceeded from u nation where
every capable citizcn was eniranchiscd aud had n
direct and energetic interest In the unity aud
well being Of the state.
No finer tribute has ever been paid the

this, nor ono showing juster appreciation of
the true strength aud greatness Of our gov
crnment. The new reform bill, by the way,
proposes to give the ballot to about 100000
men in the United Kingdom who have never
voted heretofore, This number is more than
twice as great as the number who were en-
franchised in 1882, and nearly four times as
many as we're given the ballot by the reform
act of 1867. Tho bill, if it passes, will DO the
longest step yet taken in England toward
universal manhood suffrage, although it still
preserves the idea of combining the right of
suffrage to property owners, householders, or
rent payers.

A Fighting Family.

The two Cashes-father o son who have
been defying the South Carolina authorities
for some days, are not an honor to their race
but that 10 no reason why the press dis
patches should utterly misropresent the
affair which has given them both an I'M
onviable notoriety. Even an outlaw is en-
titled to have his acts fairly and truthfully
reported. In the widely-published account
of the killing of Richards, town marshal
of Cherawby, Boggan Cash, the most essential
facts seem to have been suppressed,
Amy one, from reading tho dispatches,
would get the impression that yonng Cash
came into peaceful village, wantonly muir
dercd man with whom he had no quarrel,
seriously wounded another, and then made
his escape. 1t was not until the elder Cash
was captured and brought to Columbia that
the whole story came out Whatever the
faults of this sanguinary old duelist may be,
in the matter of truth telling he seems to be
greatly superior to some of the gentlemen
who have been writing up the murderous
exploits of himself and his son.

could not forbcar, however, from max.

ENFORCING THE THURMAN LAW

The Attorney General Gives n History
OF his Controversy with the Union
Pacific.
The attorney general yesterday sent to the
senate his reply to the resolution of Feb.
20, calling for information as to the failure
Of the Pacific railroad companies to comply
with the Thurman act requiring them to pay
25 per cent of their net earnings to the
government in part payment Of their indebt-
edness. Much of the reply is concerning
forms Of legal procedure. ltappears that the
claim of the government against the Union
Pacific Railway company for the period from
Nov. 6, 1875, to Dec 81, 1882, is 5000, 1911
Before the government brought suit against the
company the company had brought suit
against tho government for S3,559,779 for
transmission of the mails. The governments
claim was therefore put into this suit as n
counter claim, and a Judgment was given in
the court of claims for S309155. On appeal
by the plaintiff the supreme court reversed
this Judgment and remanded the case for u
new trial. The case is still pending and the
attorney general says that he means to push
it to Judgment by tho end of the present
term of court if possible.
Another perplexing question was whether
expenditures for new equipment Of the road
should be deducted from its gross earnings in
order to ascertain the net earnings This is
also TO be settled in the suit.

under the direction Of the secretary Of the treas.
ury.
Mr.. Mason raised the point Of order that
the amendment was not bona fdo, aud that
"such amendments were calculated to iniure
tho character Of tho house" Tho chairman
of the committee of tho whole ruled the
amendment in order, saying that in his
opinion It would require scientific analysis
to determine how far the magnetism of mes
merism was analogous to that to be employ ed
in the telegraph" The amendment received
22 ayes.
This was in 1913, and tho appropriation
was not made until the last day of the session.
Five years later when Mr.. Cave johnson was
postmaster general, he recommended the
adoption of the telegraph as an adjunct of
the postal service. The world has moved
somewhat since wise statesmen tried TO laugh
down the electric telegraph by comparing it
with mermersm aud Millerism.

Secretary Chandler said yesterday that the
published report that the steamer Bear is I'M
fitted for the Arctic expedition is entirely
untrue. 'There is not an unsound piece of
timber in her" said he, 'and all that is
necessary is to strengthen her interior,
which is now being done" Lieut. Com
mander McCalla, when questioned on tho
subject, said 81 examined the Bear at ST.
Johns last sumner and at New York the
other day and | am perfectly satisfied that
she is q strong aud sound vessel, as does
everybody that knows her. l would DO per-
tcGtly willing TO go on the expedition In her
without doing thing to her excepting to
place some crossbeams in the engine and
boiler room, and to increase the quarters Of
tho crow on the spar deck, which is now
being done. The Bear is, without doubt the
best sealer in Newfoundland, just AS the
Thetis is the best whaler in the north of
England"
The Bear is the sister ship OF the lost
PrOteus. likenheT in every respect. During
tho past winter she was Overhauled and
rclitted in Scotland and put in excellent
condition, She was ready to sail on sealing
expedition from st. Johns on tho tenUh Of
March, and as good deal of money was to be
made or lost on that expedition, of course
she was well prepared for it, IL cost between
$4,000 aud $4,000 to build her nine years
ago. The owners knew that the field OF
selection was limited and were in position
to increase tho price, but when you renem-
Der that they took into consideration the
prospective profits of the sealing trip she WAS
about to make $4,000 to 100000, and the
expensive improvements added last year,
their price was surely not exSrbitant' With

FIGHTING FOR HIS SEAT.

The Brief Filed by the Contestant i'm the
Election Case OF Mclean VS.. Broad
head.
Tho brief ilod yesterday in the contested
election case of James II. Mclean VS.. James
o. Broadhead by James Hodge Mclean, of
Georgia, counsel for contestant, certainly
makes out a strong case for DR.. Mclean and
one which the contestee will to be hard
to answer, from the simple fact that his vote
is left as it is and the con tostants is built up
to a small majority by counting tho ballots
that were actually cast. 1t seems there were
five precincts at which the judges and clerks
did not make such return as the board of
, canvassers would receive and count for both
candidates. The vote, being otherwise
proven, shows a majority of 75 votes for DR..
Mcl.ean add to this the 33 votes that were act
ually cast, but not counted, simply because. in
the case of 26 Of them, the ballots were headed
THE Independent Ticket" 1t seems the
independent party is not to be tolerated in
tho great city of st. Louis. Three OF the
remaining 6 were rejected because the voters
| put pastors over some candidates
name for O state Office on the same
ticket. The judges decided the ticket
must be voted as 1t was, and that no name
could no changed without destroying the
entire ticket and. therefore. the ticket could
| not DO counted. The other three votes were
| rejected, because in one case, some one had
voted on his name before him. He is one of
the contestee's witnesses, and of course his
testimony is not disputed. The other two
were not counted because their names were
not on the registration list, although they
filed certificates from the recorder of voters
stating they were legal voters, and that their
names should be on the list. The above votes
gives DIR. Mclean majority of votes of the
vote actually cast, and when is added the
votes of those who offered to vote for DR..
Mclean, who were wronGfully denied the
privilege of voting, his majority is 40, after
giving Mr. Broadhead credit for all the votes
claimed by him in his testimony as having
been cast for him or improperly denied the
| right to vote for him.

The REPUBLICAN, in its heated raid upon the
police department fails to give that department
proper credit for some really good work It has
done since its reorganization; but tho structures
OF that paper upon the system Of suppression OF
criminal news at police headquarters are well dc.
served. This is the secretlye policy maintained
with such perinacity by the late police depart
ment, and especially by the detective branch, un-
der the idoc pretense expressed in stllted official
phrase that "the ouds ofiustice would be defeated
by the publication Of the facts of crimes COM
mitted Now the record of the detection OF crime
shows that success has been due in almost every
instance to the light thrown upon tho character
of the deed and the identity, characteristics, per.
sonal appearance &C., Of the criminal, through
wide newspaper publicity, by which every man
in tho community was made q detective. Tho
secretiyo policy can serve no other purpose than
TO screen police inellcienoy or to enable corrupt
officers TO bargain with the criminals, II was
hoped that our reorganized police would be able
to reform the secretiye humbug out OF existence,
NTH other abuses.
