A day or two before the mar

she kicked aud kicked hard.

In the past two years the
government has bought
5000, 900, 900 of bonds at a
cost of 1921, ,53S, 1865. 1t
has bought, 80,OOO,OOO of
bonds that are not payable
for nearly twenty years yet
and has paid $1O3, 100000
for them, making a bonus OF
$23, 100000 given to the
bondholders by the people
to retire bonds not due until
1907, and bearing only a
per cent interest. Money is
worth to the people s per
cent, but to call in 4 per cent
bonds we have gwen away
$23 100000 iu two years.
All told, the bonus is $31,
OOO,0 900. We had thought
it was better to spend this
$31 100000 on the educa
ton Of the poor, ra ther than
give it to the rich bondhol-
ders who do not need it. We
do not believe that Congress
has a right under the Cbnsti-
tuition to give this bonus to
the bondholders. Congress-
is invested with poupr to
lay takes to pay debts and
provide for the general wei
f''lp. Tbs bonus is no part
OF the debt, nor does it con-
tribute to the general vel
fare TO give.it away 70 the
bondholders. The News and

FEDERAL INTERFERENCE.

It is apparent that there is
to be a strong effort made
by the Republicans to pass
some such bill as Senator
Sherman introduced at last
session, with the purpose of
controlling the elections at
the South. The provision Of
the Constitution that applies
reads as follows:
"The times, places and
manner Of holding elections
for Senator's and Represen.
tatives shall be prescribed in
each State by the Le9isla-
ture thereof; but the Congress
may at any time by law
make or alter such regula-
tions, except as to the plans
of choosing Senator's"
The members of the House
Of Representatives are to be
chosen by the people OF the
several States; and the cleo
tions are to have the same
qualifications requisite for
electors Of the most numer-
GUS branch Of the State Leg
islature. The Legislature
then is to fix the qualiica-
tons OF the voters, and the
Congress may make regula-
.tions rs to the time, place
and manner of holding the
elections. But it does not
appear that Congress can
bold such an election The

WAR In ILLINOIS.
A BLOODY FIGHT BETWEEN
WHITES AND BLACKS

Chicago, Sept. 16.-A dis
patch Lawrenceville, III. says:
A rate war between the
whites and blacks occurred
here Satul day night. A few
days ago a st. Lewis negro
named Slick came to town,
and Saturday after noon in a
quarrel with a white man at
tucked him with a knife. The
latter escaped after receiving
two wounds, and then Slick
dashed down the street slash
ing ateveryone. Judge Barns
OF the county court. ordered
the negro to stop. The ne
gro attacked the Judge, but
the latter retaliated by knock
ing him down. The negro
was then disarmed and ar
rested. Meanwhile, the blacks
hearing of the arrest, deter
mined to rescue the prisoner.
A few white men rallied a.
round the Judge There was
q hard fight in which the ne
grocs were beaten back, and
one of the ring leaders arrest
ed. The prisoners were taken
10 the county Jail, aud the
sheriff and his deputies were
ordered by the Judge to
guard the building. The ne
groes quickly organized, and
made an attack on the Jail.
The sheriff was ordered to
fire on them, but refused and
the negroes forced their way
into the jail and rescued the
prisoner. Judge Barnes Or
ganized the whites and at
tackled the blacks at the Jail.
There was a bloody fight, in
which pistols, clubs and
knives were used. judy Barns
was cut and shot, but his
wounds are not fatal. DR..
John Lamby and three other
white men, were seriously
hurt. Two negroes were shot
and half Il hundred heads
were broken. The whites won
and the ringleaders were a.

guard placed around the bull

UA COUNIY, N. u, III
difference as it appears to us
is plain. 1t may fix the time
which it has done, it may
fix the polling places, and
it may prescribe the manner
But the Constitution does
not shy Congress shall na We
power, to hold the elections;
to have officials present to
count the vote and declare
the result.
The question may Re asked
if not, why not? The reason
is plain. What ever power
is invested in congress in re-
gard to the election OF Q rc-
sentatives is also invested in
Congress in regard to the
election of Senator's. except
as to the place of choosing
the Senators. The Legisla-
ture cannot be required by
Congress to meet at any
place but the State Capitol.
Leaving out that difference
as immaterial, the power of
Congress to provide for the
election of Senators is the
same as in regard to the
election OF congressman.
Would it be consistent
with the frame of our duplex
system of government for
Congress to appoint officials
to count the EallOt cast by
the Legislature and declare
the action of the Legislature
at an election of Senators?
Hardly. No one will my
that. The power, then, does
not extend to holding the
for Senator's; but we
have seen that the power in
relation to Congressman is
the same az in regard to the
Senators. 1t is neither more
nor less. If, then, Congress
cannot hold the election for
Senators, it cannot hold the
for congressman. IT.
cain regulate both. 1t has
in fact undertaken to regu-
late the manner in choosing
Senators, and it may regu-
late the manner of choosing
Representatives. But itcan-
not hold the election. That
be done in both cases
by the State officers.
The bill offered by Senator
Sherman proceeds on the as
sumption that Congress may
hold the election for Congress
men, and it provides that the
President may appoint a
board of three men in each
district who will hold their
places for life, and who may
the precinct officers
That also is unwarranted by
the. Constitution. But we
need not 60 into that now
further than to say that
congress cannot vest the ap-
pointment OF Inferior officers
in the President, in
the courts of law and in the
heads of the department..
