Gray was exposing the domiciliary clause
n that bill when he was interrupted BY
Mr.. Eyarts:
AS this Is practical measure, will
the Senator from Delaware give to the
Senate some notion -of what method he
would provide for verifying registration?
What method has the Senator to sug-
gest2
In reply Mr. Gray returned to the old
and safe principle Of letting the people
mind their own business:
My method would be to trust the PEG.
pie OF the state as they have been trusted
for 100 years Of cur history. My method
would be to instil and encourage conf
ience Ia the capacity Fof the people to
manage and control their own affairs, in
Guiding the management and control OF
their own elections. My method would
be not only to refuse to pass the measure
now before the Senate, but to wipe from
our statute book the whole chapter con
corning the election franchise.
And have no law?" asked Mr.. Hoar in
profound surprise Mr. Gray answered
And have no law at all to interfere

performance Of the great function of

from the Central Federation Of Labor of
/ New York city, recommended the cordial
| acceptance of the fraternal expressions
proifered by the Socialist Labor party
through Mr.. Saniai, and declared that the
hopes and aspirations of the Socialist and
Labor unionist are very similar The com

and that it could not legally admit the
Socialist Labor party to representation and

They accordingly recommended that the
credentials presented by Mr. Sanial from
the Central Federation Of Labor be return

refusing that body charter was in accord
with the constitution Of the American
federation and should be affirmed by the
convention; that the action of the execu-

as that body virtually ceased TO exist when

thoroughly and instruct their delegates to
the next convention as to what course
they shall pursue in anticipation of its
again being brought up at that time. Mr..
Morgan made brief address in support of
his motion, but it was voted down. A
resolution was then offered rejecting the
report of the committee and admitting the
petition Of the Central Federation of La
Dor for charter be allowed, and that
Sanial be given seat in the convention.

out of order by the president, who called

by person or persons who to this iurv
are not known. And the said stab
wounds or cuts were inflicted on the 4th
day Of Dece mber, 1890"
For several days Coroner Bullock has
oeen busy gathering testimony, and
puplie interest in the case has intensified
rather than diminished.
The inquest WAS held in the CITY Hall
last evening Dr. Formal testified as 8
speeialist. He said that the girl had died
f'om hem ri age cause1Mby wounds
IA the neck. That the knife had been
applied seven times aud that any one Of
the four wounds inflicted would have
been fatal. He declared emphaticglly
that the wounds were not self-infllcted

composed when called upon TO testify
ne contradicted himself in several par
ticnlars, and said that at the time Of the

Mrs Schmidt was very cool when
called to testify, and corroborated all

The evidence did not show who

obtained and the apartment was lighted

took the boys to the police station, and
this morning they we're arraigned before

not that, as Insolvency. had given them
permission to dig the cave. Judge Ball
quizzed them a good deal upon their

bring any drink into the cave. They were
discharged and left to enter into posses

THE Young Mems Republican Club is
composed Of too respectable a body Of
men to be made disreputable BY few
oficicus members. We have had some
thing to say from time to time about
those members, watch does not apply to
the club at large though the club is re-
sponsible for allowing them to occupy
prominent positions before the public
under cover Of its name. Eighteen
months ego the EVENING JOURNAL
published facts enough 10 relieve j.
Eidridge Pierce Of any responsible posi-
tion. He still held the position as treas
urer Of the club and took a prominent
part with Cotton in the last election
This should not be regarded as a political
matter The EVENING JOURNAL did not
expose Pierce because no was 4 Repubh
can, but because he was hetraying his
trust. l. would have done the same
thing aud has done the same
concerning men who PROPOSED to have
Democratic affiliations. But the truth Is,
such men do not belong to any party,
they are simply thieves who belong to
every party or all parties as thu pc
tunities for their nefarious praclices
seem to be plentiful, and as the plckings
are rich. For the majority Of the mem
bers Of the Young Mems Republican
Club, we have the utmost
respect and consideration but
for some Of the members who are allowed
to take active part the whole community
has the utmost contempt The club
owes it to the community and 70 itself
