OATHS AND BLOWS.
An Ugly Scene Enacted in the National
Congress.
Augusta Chronicle.

WASHINGTON, August 27.-Ther,
. was genuine riot and rough and tum
BILE fight in the House to-day.
Indeed, the scenes on the Republican
side of the House were never equalec
even in a beer garden.
1t came about early. Mr.. McAdoo
of New Jersey (Democrat), criticised
Mr.. John Cannon severely for his reso
luton Of yesterday. Mr.. Cannon re
torted in the
vILEsT, FILTHIEsT LANGUAGE
language which no decent paper would
print.
Indeed, i: was so dirty that men
blushed with shame and women FLED
from the galleries.
Mr.. Enloe asked that the language
be taken down in order that MI. Can
non might he censured. Mr.. Reed
ruled him out of order. Mr.. Enloe ap,
pealed and the roll call was ordered.
MASON CURSES CANNON.
At this moment Mr.. Mason, an Hi.
nois Republican, who has been leading
the fight against the lard bill rushed
down the aisle to Mr.. Cannon and said
sotto voice, that his family was in the
gallery, and none but damned dirty
tramp would have used such Ian
guage.
Mr.. Mason was itching for fight,
and Mr.. Cannon fearing him, retired
without a word in reply.
CONFIRMED THE EPITuET.
Mr.. Wilson, of Washington, (Repub,
lican), turned to Mr.. Mason and told
him he should not have used such lam
guage.
eyes, he should" said Mr.. Beck
with, of New Jersey, another Republi-
can, "Cannon is nothing but a damned
lying tramp. He put my name on his
black list and was here"
eff you were, it was the first time
you have been in your place." retorted
Mr.. Wilson.
"LIAR" AND BLOWS.
'You are liar,' blurted out Mr..
Beckwith.
"You are another" cried Mr.. Will
son. ....
'You are damn lying Washington
---," yelled Mr.. Beckwith. ..
With this Mr., Wilson hit out from
the shoulder and landed blow on Mr..
Beckwith's breast.
Mr.. Lehlback tried to part them.
Mr.. Williams, of Ohio, rushed down
the collar, when Mr.. Beckwith let into
him. Mr.. Williams threw up his hand
and cried, "Stop, I am only peace
maker"
DEMOCRATS ENJOY 1T.
For a few moments, it looked as
though the fighting would become
general.
The Democrats were laughing and
shouting. It was fun for them, but the
Republicans were fighting and scram,
bling like dogs.
Mr.. Reed called out the sergeant-at.
arms, who, with his mace, soon re-
gained order, and the fighters retired
from the floor.
A DEGRADING SCENE.
It was a scene of the most degrading
character all through. Mr.. Reed was
sustained: and Mr.. Cannon escaped
censure.
The lard bill, however, did not pass
1t is yet pending, and the Southern
men are making a gallant fight.

A Federal Election Law.

In his speech at Pittsburg, Speaker Reed
discussed the question Of the control of ma
tlonal elections-such as elections for Con-
gressmen-by the national government.
Speaking for himself merely, and entirely
disclaiming anything more than the express
sion of his own personal opinion. he de-
clared in favor of placing congressional
elections under federal control. That his
opinion will have very great weight with his
party there is no doubt.
The subject which Mr.. Reed treated of is
one prominently before the country. Al
ready two bills relating to the subject have
been introduced into the present Congress.
One Of them has been introduced into the
Senate byMr. Hoar and the other into the
House by Mr.. Lodge. While the aim of these
measures isVirtually alike, their methods are
somewhat different The objections raised
to them by the Democrats are practically the
same 1t is alleged that they are
both unconstitutional; that both are blows
TO local self-government; and that the real
motiVe underlying both is not to purify con-
gressional elections, but to surround them
win machinery that can be controlled in the
interest OF the Republican paIty-in brief,
that the purpose OF federal election law il
to enable Republicans to steal Congressional
districts which do not rightfully belong 70
them.
The first objection-that such a law as is
proposed would not be constitutional-is left
to rest generally upon mere assertion, for the
reason, no doubt, that the constitution so
clearly Igiyes to Congress the right to pre-
scribe the times, places and manner of hold
ing elections for representatives whenever it
may see fit that to argue it must inevitably
weaken it. The second objection is quite as
quite as unsound as the first, and will not

As Mr.. Reed pointed out in his Pittsburg
speech. the excuse which the white Demo-
Gratis OF the South make for suppressing the
colored vote in State elections does not ap-
ply to congressional elections. If every ne
gro in the South were permitted to cast his
vote for Congressman and his vote were
counted, and If every negro voted for can
dldate of his own race, there would not be
the slightest danger of negro domination as
the result. 1t may be that self-preservation
is the motive which the white Democrats
aim at in counting out the negro in State
elections. That cannot be the motive in
counting him out in national elections The
motive in those elections must be to possess
themselves of power which does not belong
to them, to give their section of the country
a voice in national affairs disproportionate
to what its population entities IT,

Mckinley bill from an American point of
view. 1t says: ''lf the Mckinley bill goes
through Congress in its present shape, the
farmers Of Canada will find the markets OF

them" This testimony from foreign pa.
per given positively and as with authority is
of more value on the side of the bill than
the hundreds of senseless skits and doubtful
interviews that have appeared in free trade
papers on the other side. The Mckinley
bill is intended to protect American farmers
against foreign farm produce, and when a
foreign paper frankly announces that its in
tention will be fulfilled, the bill is to be re-
