The state Capital.

The PRESSES interviews with members of
the Legislature have gone far enough to
show that there is great dissatisfaction
with with the location Of the present capital,
and though there is not unanimity of opin-
ion as to where it should be in case it is
moved from Augusta, the great majority
evidently favor Portland. Indeed we are
inclined to think the most of the minority
that favor other places recognize the superb
or advantages Of Portland, and are only re-
strained from selecting this city by feelings
of local pride. But the Legislature will
probably not thrust the capital upon this
city. If we want the capital here we must
make 1t known In some way which will ad-

State House here would not only be agreea-
BILE, but also that 1t is much desired. In all

Gen. Weaver and his filibustering followers
are furnishing the country an object lesson
which will not be forgotten. Mr.. Reed and
other prominent men Of the House have
contended for many years passed that the
rules OF the House needed changing; that
they enabled the minority to deprive the ma
Jority OF tho power that the constitution
meant they should have, and which they
must have unless republican government is
to become farce, namely, the power of leg
islating. The filibustering of the past week
has done much to impress upon the country
the correctness of Mr.. Reeds view and Gre
ate demand for its enforcement by change
in the present rules.

Senator Sherman's proposed new system for
the supervision Of the election of Congress-
men contemplates the appointment by the
President with the approval of the Senate, of
a board Of five qualified voters in each State
to be known as the Board of State Canvas
sers, and three voters in each Congressional
District, to serve as an Electoral Board, the
appointees to hold Office during good be-
hayior. The Electoral Board of each Con-
gressional District is to appoint registrar
and three judges, mot all Of the same political
party, for each election district or precinct,
to hold Office for six years. subject, however,
to removal for misconduct. The Electoral
Board is given power. to increase the number
of election precincts whenever necessary to
secure free.andIfair ballot. The Judge or
judges at any precinct may appoint bystand-
ers in the place Of any Judge or judges who
do not report for duty within one hour after
the opening of the polls, and in ease gnone
of the three judges report the election may
be conducted by anyIthree voters Of the dis
trict who are willing to act The Electoral
Board is also directed to appoint three Com
missioners Of Election for each county or
corresponding political division, whose duty
1t shall be to meet three days after the cleo
tion and ascertain from the returns the num-
Der Of votes cast for each person at the cleo
ton. The same provision is made for filling
vacancies in the list of Commissioners as is
made in the case of election judges. Provis-
ion is made for a complete and correct regis
tration of voters, and the judges Of election,
in counting the votes, are authorized to reject
any decided to have been fraudulently voted.
The Board of Commissioners is given power
to correct irregularities in the returns of the
judges of elections, and heavy penalties are
prescribed for offenses against the election
law. Doubtless the chief end Senator Sher-
man has in view is to secure honest and fair
Congressional elections in the South.
