The only Constitutional purpose Of the

stitutional warrant for the so-caled Census
act of 1889 is the clause providing for the

for representation in Congress and the
anportionment of direct taxes.
Any inQusition authorized by act OF Con-
gross, which goes 30 far beyond the Consti-
tutional object OF tho census as to institute
an inuuisiton into tho physical secrets and

CRAFTY scientific curiosity, is unconstitutional.
Nothing in the Constitution of the United

Pension Extravaganza.

II is n striking illustration Of the pass to
which pension legislation has come in tho
Firty-hrst Congress that the Senate, after
proposing to add nearly S3s OOO,O 900 a year to
pension OUTLAWS, which have already reached
S1Oo, O,OnO year, is actually posing as a
body of stern economists, because the House
goes 50 much further in lavishness.
The Senate informs the House that the Nor
RTLLbill which the latter wishes to Substitute
for the Senate bill will cost 81, 1873, 100, $40, of
which $1,O79 O2i must be paid during the
next twenty-five years, and that the cost
would be certainly over S4G,0000OO u year,
whereas its own bill only costs between
S37OoO,OOO and S3S,OOO0O0. 1t is true that
there il also a question of principle Mt stake,
as the House bill offers service pension for
age as constructive dependence, which is
equivalent to giving, sooner or later, SER
vice pension to all Union veterans. Still,
the Senate, few years ago, sanctioned
even that principle in tho Mexican Pension
bill which Mr.. CLEVELAND signed.
Such Is the rush for pension legislation
that the Senate, which took the first steps
toward making the country pay hcreaftcrat
least $40 900 u year, Is now pluming it.

To the extent that the deplorable and prof
itlcss controversy which has arisen between
Judge POWER and Judge MURRAY, two con-
spcuous chicftains of the city Democracy,
is merely personal tho voting public is in
different. Such II controversy arising at a
tlme when all Democrats should be
getting together Instead Of quarrel
ling among themselves, is unfortunate
but by no means unprecedented The mat
ter has, however, gono beyond the
stages of n personal dispute; aud until 1t IS
adjusted it must be q cause OF cmbarrass-
mcnt to tho organization of which both mon
are members and may even cause the aid
Of the courts to he invoked.
When tine County Democracy was formally
organized in this city. on March %, 1881, it
was established on a thoroughly representa-
tive plan. The Democratic voters in the
respective election districts chose. at open
primaries to which all Democratic electors
were invited delegates to District Commit
tees, There werD twcnty-four OF these
committecs ard each If them was cmpow-
cred to send twenty members to the central
County Committee. The qualifications OF
these twenty members We're to be determined
as might take place from resignation disabil-
ity, oreXpuIson We're To be filled in the same
manner. The Democratic State Convention
of 1881, held in Albany on Oct II of that
year with Mr.. ERAsTUS BROOKS as its Presi-
dent, admitted the delegates elected under
this plan of organization. and rejected all
others from New York city.
On Tuesday of last week the Central COM
mittee of the County Democracy expelled
one of it's members, tho Hon. HENRY
MURRAY Of the Seventeenth district, on
account of certain statements made by
him concerning several Of his associates.
On Thursday evening the District Com
mittee of the Seventeenth district filled the
vacancy caused by Judge MURRAYS expul-
sion by unanimously rcGlecting him. Now.
the question is, whether the Central Com
mittec has the right to nullify this election
by eXpelling him once moro. Has it the
power to deprive the district which sends
him of the right of choosing its represent
ativc
Under the rules of the organization, the
mombers Of the County Committee, mere
delegates themselves OF their respective Dis
trict Committees, have no power to pass
upon the qualifications Of members sent
by the various districts. The right of n
constituency to choose its own representa-
tivcs is the most precious Of all political
rights. II is the essence Of home rule. 1t is
democracy. Anything else is centraltsm,
boss rule, and disIranchiscment. or course,
the Central Committee may eXpcl member
for sufficient reasons; but if lie is duly re-
elected. it must receive him. Otherwise it
undertakes to expel from the party the dis
trirL lie represents. This is beyond its power.
1t is much to he hoped, in theintercst of har-
mony and peace, that hOstilitics personal
parliamentary, or judicial, may be brought
to Il close between the warning factions be-
fore the weather becomes too sultry. The
proper attitude for all Democrats Just now is
opposition to tho common Republican an
tagonst. They should get together.

Our National Game.

When the annual contest used to be going
on for what was recognized by unanimous
consent as tho base ball championship, it
WIS the part and pleasure of tho press to
apply its ablest and most expert attention
to the great centre OF struggle, the dia-
mond. With the game confined to that field,
the instructive lover Of athletics the base
ball expert, and the truc-blue American cit
izon in general could feel an Immediate i'll
terost in its progress. Now that its leading
sponsors show Il disposition to fight out
their battles in the newspapers through ar
gumentS at once economic, socialistic and
sentimental, any philosopher can take II
hand and all are interested in the event.
A few days ago statement was pub
lshed by II leading representative of the
National League, formerly known ~ AL
SPALDING. the Boston twirer, and now as
President A. G.. SPALDINd OF Chicago, to
the effect that, owing to the practical sup
preston of the national championship by
the bid for it by the Players League,
public interest in the game had declined.
A reply to that by an individual Of playing
talent equal to Mr.. SPALDING's, and also
prominent when out of uniform, Mr.. Short
Stop WARD, deserves word, for, like various
other expressions from like sources, 1t is a
triile disingenuous. In the Philadelphia
Press We find Mr., WARD quoted as explain
ing the situation thus:
The decrease ofntere' If any Is due to the reckless
tactics OF the old League It's attempts 10 Kill OF
TAR business rival aud maintain It's monopoly OF tho
game"
Tho American public is long-sulIerlng
and broad-hcarted institution. 1t is full of
sport, yet II would aven endure an injury to
the most glorious form OF it, il in any way it
would help the general welfare. But it de-
spiscs humbug, and it hates to have its
feelings played upon for any other purposes
than those openly offered for its sympathy.
Any decreased interest in tho national game
is due to the appearance of tho Players
League Whether their bid for control of
professional base ball Vas Just or otherwise
