THE ELECTION BILL.

At a caucus Of Republican SEN
ators in Washington few nights
ago it was stated by Senator HoAR
that there was some talk about the
possibility of the force bill being
defeated by Republican votes, and
others said that it was only fair
that if any Republican Senators
intended to vote against the bill
they should say SO, that the Sena-
tors interested in the bill might
know what chance it stood of be-
ing passed. No one responded to
this appeal, although there were
several Senators present who are
known to be opposed to the bill
and have declared their intention to
vote against it. 1t is clearly evil
dent that the friends Of the meas
ure are not sure of their ground
and are feeling their way.
1t has been given out that the
present measure will be defeated,
and Senator QUAY will prepare a
substitute for the bill that will
make LODGE and HoAR turn green
with envy.

Tho Eiref DISTRICT

Our nominee, Mr.. w. A. JONES, is
making q splendid canvass. He has
shown admirable qualities OF leadership
and while speaking once or twice every
day has neglected no opportunity to
perfect the party organization. He I'M
derstands that while speeches arouse the
interest of the people they must be fol-
lowed up by systematic work labor that
will bring out the voters without fail.
Seeing how industrious and self-helpful
he is. his brother Democrats ought to be
prompt to give him assistance. Every
man can do something. First he can
determine that rain or shine he will go
TO the polls and vote for JoyEs. Next
he can resolve to take como friend along
with him and thus have the pleasure of
seeing two Democratic ballots dropped
into the box at once, or if he has team
at his command it may be in his power
to take to the voting-place three or four
or half dozen Democrats.
Mr.. JONES Is worthy OF all the aid and
support the Democrats can give him,
but this is not his personal contest it Is
the fight of the party and of the people
against continuance Of the rule that
has prevailed at Washington since Mr..
HARRISON became PresideDt-the very
worst phase of Republication that has
ever existed.
That Mr.. JONES will be elected we be-
lieve and predict. We feed thus conf
dent because the people OF the district
are attending the political meetings in
great numbers and are showing hearty
interest in the canvass.
So far as we can see, Mr.. BAYLEY
BROWNE VIII get no Democratic votes.
He has done nothing to recommend
himself to us. On the other hand.
Mr.. JONES will get tho votes of good
many Republicans who are dissatisfied
with MIR. BROWNE, and who propose to
take this method of making the fact
known.
On the Eastern Shore Mr.. JONES had
q most gratifying reception, and many
of MIR. BRowNE's old friends declared
for him.
Now let us get out our full strength in
the First district and dismiss Mr..
BROWNE from congressional service and
install in his place our worthy, able, and
plucky friend JONES

Judge Tuley stated that the Law gave the
power OF suppression Of pool-sclling and
gambling to the MAYOR and authorities,
but that no authority was contained
therein for the regulation thereof. The
trainers of the ordinance, therefore, had
acted beyond their authority and the
police have the right only TO prohibit the
sale OF pools.
The city will take an appeal from the
decision. In the meantime there Is
nothing 10 prevent pool-selling at will in

THUS MALONE SPEAKS or PROFESS
OR LANGSTON.
r,rcuIar-Lctter of the General Declaring
that He Will Not Vote for the
Negro Candidate.
REPUBLICAN, STATE EXECUTIVE CON-, |

PETERSBURG, VA, Oct. -, 1890.
Dear sir,-Yours Of the Goth instant
;s lust received, in which you say the
marty or Republican voters in your BALI.
wick are not for Langston and you want
TO know if I am for Langston.
Langston is not the nominee Of tho
party. nor shall vote for him, and for
the following reasons:
!. That Langston is honestly no more
q Republican than the Democratic nomi-
nee. :.
2. That Langston is bolter and dis
organizer and let the Democrats use him
in 1883 TO defeat our regular Republican
nominee for Congress in this district, aud
nv which he gave the State to Cleveland
against Harrison.
3. That Langston in that case ran for
Congress outside of the party. openly
defying both the Republican State and
National Committees, and openly de-
clarinq that if he could not himself be
elected the Democratic nominee should
be.
4. That Langston threatened the Re-
pnblican nominee in the Richmond dis
trict. judge Waddill. that unless he re-
pudiated the opposition OF the State Ex-
ecutive Committee lof which he, Judge
Waddill. was member against him
that is unless he (Judge Waddilr repu-
dated the regular Republican nominee
in this district that he (Langston) would
invade the Richmond district and do his
best TO elect the Democratic candidate
there, too.
Z. That Langston made his canvass on
the hurtful race issue, arraying black
against white, and this in direct opposl-
ton TO the efforts of the Republican party
To put down that issue in our politics as
injurious no less TO the two races than to
the welfare OF the state.
For these reasons was and am still
opposed 70 Langston, and do not know
of anv person whose conduct ana teach
ipcs have done or can do the cOlored race
an equal amount OF injury. Besides
he Is not a bOaa-fde citizen OF this State
and has no real share or lot in then
affirs. and he has done nothing to claim
the recognition of either the colored oil
white people. He is, all told, polltica
| impostor, only desiring by incendiary
appeals 10 race, to crafty his insane
vanity and selfish ambition.
can imagine no greater calamity tha
could possibly befall the proper relations
between the races, the future integrity
and interests of the Republican party
and the general welfare than the election
of Langston. OF consequence, 1t seem
TO me that Republican duty should in
spire every honest effort for the defea
OF this insiduous enemy to the party
the peace and common veal of the dis
trict and State. Respectfully,
| MALONE.

of the Jasper District Court giving
Messrs. Cooke and Wheeler, stock-deal-
ers Of Newton, judgment against the
Chicago, Rock island. and Pacific Rail
road for s., $50. The case is important
to stock dealers generally. The railroad
WAS in the habit Of giving certain favored
shippers secret rebate on the freight
paid on each car. Messrs. Cooke and
Wheeler proved the existence Of this re-
bate system and the Court held that 1t
was an unjust discrimination, and that
the plaintiffs had been oyercharged an
amount on each car they shipped equal

MIR. WILLIAM HENRY DARLINGTON,
clerk OF the Commute on the Library OF
the House OF Representatives, in letter
to the Washington Post says sec
ton 80 Of the tariff bill. as passed by the
House May 2lst and sent to the Senate,
was struck out by the Senate, and IN
final conference was restored ; but In
enrolling (which was done technically by
the enrolling clerk of the House, rs the
bill originated there) was by accident
wholly omitted, and this enrolled bill,
(Which was prepared for the PRESIDENTS
signature, was signed by him, the mis-
take not then being known by him or
any one else 80 that only the remain
ins parts Of the bill-to-wit, the whole
bill. except that section--became law.
The bill AZ so enrolled had its sections
distinguished numerically by the Clerk
of the House, as ordered by the two
houses: and consequently there Is a Sec
ton in the act, az it now stands, num-
bered 30, but it is not the omitted section
80, or any part OF 1t.
Mr. DARLINGTON reiterates that this
" section. which was intended by both
houses to be enrolled and signed by the
President but was not, is no part OF the
law. Those sections which were enroll
ed and signed constitute the whole act
and have become a law beyond all room
for doubt or question"
II is therefore quite clear what the
purpose Of Congress was, and as soon as
it meets in December we expect to see
IL proceed TO enact into law the omitted
rebate clause. Every retail dealer IN
the land will have an interest in the
matter. and we shall be surprised ii we
hear of any objection from any quarter
Certainly there ought to be none. 1t IS
simply a method to expedite trade and
enable merchants TO pursue their busl'
ness without interruption, and will really
cost the Government nothing.
