SUPPRESS THE TOLUTIONIST!

That rabid secessiOnist, Mr.. Eaton, OF Con-
nccticut. who il chairman OF the House oeiect
Committee on the Election of President anu
Vice President, took the position IN Congress
last winter that the representatives already
have the right to determine all questions re-
latino to the Presidential election" Further
moro. he solemnly declared that if any contro-
vcrsv like that of 1876 should arise this winter,
"hc should demand that the House assert 'iiiS
alleged prerogative.'
Under the Joint lulcs in force when Mr.
HAYES was elected, the two branches ot Con
gress had equal powers in determining which
electoral votes should be counted. But Mf.
Eaton proposes to deny the Senate any voice III
the matter. IN a crisis like that oi elgill years
ago a man of his standing in the Democratic
party. and of his fiery. impulsivc spirit, would
20 far toward prccipitating civil war. IL Is
not to be imlgincd that the Senate would con-
ecnt I'm any such .ubycrsvn of the Constitution
rs Mr.. Eaton proposes. or would recognize aS
President any man declared to be sich by the
IIousp alone. And n this blatant CoppcIhcad
declares that he will not submit to arbltra-
tion npain ho leaves no way open Tor adjusting
n controversy of this sort except the -anguinary
South American method. Such possibility IL
simply appalling; and all righ-mndcd people
would rejoice to see the man who creates II
imprcssivcy sat upon at the coming election
The voters of the Hartford Congressional
District owe IL to the country ~ well hS To
themselves topcrlorm this interesting task and
they can do 80 with the greater enthusiasm
from the fact that Mr., Eaton's defeat means the
election of 30 competent aud crcd'tdbIe krp-

question.


There are many classes of wage earncrs in
this country who fail to perceive that their
prosperity depends upon the maintenance of
the American protective system. Among these
may be mentioned the clerks, b00kkccpcrs and
salesmcn in stores, of whom there are not less
than 500,0 900 in the country. To many of
them, no doubt, it appears that their prosperity
is quite independent of tariff which does II pt
directly bear upon their industry at all If they
consider well, however, they see, Grst, that the
rewards of their labor depend upon the general
prosperity of the country, its growth, it, in
crease in wealth and in traffic If stores
multiply if business expands, if the people buy
more largely, and sell more largely, and transact
more business, the demand for such services as
they render increases, and the wages paid for
their services must increase.
The number of persons willing TO undertake
services of this kind is already very large. In
every town applicants for vacant situations
of that character far outnumbcr the places
vacant. But the number of applicants would be
indefinitely increased if the great body of the
people were not proGtaby employed in other
ways. II, for instance, 100000 of people
were not comfortably supported by farm labor
there would De flSh of unemployed persons
to the town. and men and women would be
found Offering to render services in stores nj
much lower compensation than il now given.
So. if 100000 were not comfortably sup.
ported by manufacturing, there would be
an intense competition for every vacant place,
and the wages paid in stores would fall.
That il what has happened in England The
consular reports show that the wages paid in
English cities are asionshingly low One won.
dcrs that men or women are able 10 exit on
such wages. For example. in Leeds dry
goods clerks and bookkccpcrs receive NJ
weekly. general retail saIesmcn 50 30, dress
makers 81 80 and cash boys $l 90. Persons
employed in similar positions in this country, no
matter where, can compare their own wages
with the wages received in British towns, and
judge for themselves whether they would like

MR. BEECHER on THE RluP4GE

Mr.. Becchcr's speech in Brooklyn was pas
sionate, almost frcnzed, harangue i'll behalf of
the tainted candidate whose cause he has made
his own. 1t had one quality which his public
addresses seldom possess. 1t was acrid. In his
pulpit he has been called the apostle of charity
and tolerance, and on the platform he has or
dinarily been genial, kindly and generous in
dealing with his political antagonists. For the
first time in Presidential canvass he has voiced
the bitterness of his own heart Such humor as
he displayed was cnvcnomcd with spite, and
sometimes it dcgeneratcd into coarse builoon-
cry. Oratory there was, but argument there
was none. 1t was a declamatory appeal to
prejudice, barren of good sense. dcbilitatcd
in logic and aboundlng in mean insinuations,
reckless assumptions and partisan malice.
Such q speech as this does not require serious
consideration. 1t has been Mr. Beechcrs habit
in previous campaigns TO contrast the records
of the two great parties and To show that Re-
publicanism has done everything in the past To
deserve success, and Democracy everything TO
merit disaster. What reason has he to give for
reversing judgment so often expressed
The only charge which he can make against the
Republican party Is that IL has become mcrccn-
AIRY and corrupt. What are his proofs There is
n protective tariff, and 800, ,OOO, 900 is lying
in the Treasury. Vol, If the money is in the
Treasury, it Is plain that II is not corruption
fund II it were not In the Treasury, Mr.
Bccchcr might have ground for complaint.
Then he rccklessly charges that Mr.. Dudley has
been bribing voters "with an unshamcd hand"
and that between 81 .OO0.O and S2.oooOOO
was sent to Ohio. and as much more Is now dis

THE OTEEN.S SPEECH.

The Queens speech at the opening Of Para-
ment yesterday was ideally brief, and on one
subject alone does it afford any indication of
the policy of the Government for the session
Nothing could be more bald and unsuggc stive
than the reference to the SOudan and Egypt
The statement about South African affairs ia
equally cautious. All that is positive in the
speech is that the Franchise bill is to be
pressed, and that the Commons will be called
upon to vote further supplies for the Egyptian
expedition The one fact which stands ont
clearly however, is the purpose of the Govern
ment to pass the Franchise bill before anything
is done about redistribution. 1t has been
plainly ntlmatcd by members of the Cabinet
during the recent campaign that no compromise
with the Lords will be entertained which re-
1uircs any holding back ot the Franchise blll, or
making it, passage dependent in any way upon
The Redistribution bill II has been stated that
the Government Is quito willing to let the 'on-
scryAtiycs see the Redistribution bill which has
been drawn. in order tina they may convince
themselves that IL Is IN no way prciudicnl TO
them. but that II they are not thus satisfied.
nothing will remain but tight 10 the bitter
end; and this IL interpreted to mean. IN some
on,rtcrs. that Mr. Gladstone will "cry havoc.
aud let slip the dogs of war upon the Lords.
The sumcptitious publication of the Rcdisui-
button bill in Tie Standard, however, or what
il admitted to bc the first sketch OF that meas
urc, does not appear to have resulted III any
accession of confidence in the plan on the part
of the Tories. They see that it is drawn with
great skill and aggravating fairness, but that
its obvious result must be to weaken them.
That the Parnellites will join the Conservatives
in fighting it is generally expected, for it gives
no increase of representation to ireland, while
strengthening the great Liberal English towns
1t is true that the new bill increases the proyin-.
cal representation by fifty votes, and that
the Tories have hitherto claimed that their
main strength lay in the country. But it is evil
dent that they no longer believe this theory,
and that they have substantial reasons for
doubling it. Lord Salisbury, however has been
talking very boldly of late, and his attitude
seems to foreshadow a refusal on the part of the
Lords to compromise. Should this policy be
carried out, the conflict between the Commons
and the Lords cannot bo postponed, aud unless
foreign affairs should compel a diversion, it is
probable that it will before long assume Il very
serious aspect. Such contest must bring the
revolutionary element to the front and even
Mr.. Gladstone may fail to control it. In the
present critical situation, moreover, the Par
nelires will occupy very important if not Il
commanding position in the House, and Mr..
Gladstone has no reason to anticipate that they
will help him more than they cannot avoid
doing The Franchise bill will no doubt be-
come a law. but it remains to be seen what the
cost of its.passagc will be to the country.

West Virginia has six electoral votes, and
Ohio has twcnty-thrcc. Both States were

Gratis retain West Virginia and lose Ohio, and

If the Republican party is able to carry

able to carry any one OF those States On the

promise success in those States. But a stand
