with obstructing the street, by plac-
ing his sidewalk building outfit on
Martin street, where he is building
sidewalks. 1t is a long time since
this ordinance has been enforced, and

Houston and.NavarrO streets, closed

4 Necessity of Health.

1t is prime necessity of health that the ac-
ton of the bowels should be kept reRula .
But the way TO overcome a temporary MT OF
constipation, or to remedy chronic costive-
ness, is not to deuge the stomach and drench
the bowels with purgatves of violent and
painful action. The happy medium between
an imperative and violent cathartic is Host
etters stomach Bitters, which acts just sum :
GENTLY upon the bowels to relax them, with
out pain. and which being a wholesome tonic
as well as aperient, has the effect of strength
ening both them and the stomach, and prom;

The Disability Questions.

Some of the ablest lawyers in New York
have been questioned with regard to the
right of the government to insist upon
answers to questions by census enumerators
relative to mental and physical diseases and
farm mortgages. David Dudley Field is
quoted as saying that the government has
no right to oblige citizen to answer these
questions for census purposes. UEder the
constitution the government has only the
right of enumeration for the purpose of up
portioning representatives and direct
taxes.
MIR. Field IS of the opinion that the act of
congress which authorizes the asking of the
Objectionable questions is clearly unconsti-
tutionai, and that if any one should be
arrested for refusing to answer them he
would have a good claim for damages.
Lawyer William 6. Choate takes the same
view of the questions as Mr. Field. He
declares that he does not intend to inform
the census enumerator whether or not he
had a chronic disease or whether or not his
farm is mortgaged.
While many people will not hesitate to
answer any questions the enumerators may
ask them, however much they may dislike
to give the information the questions call
for, others will refuse to do so, and it is
pretty safe to say that their refusal will
not be followed by any unpleasant con-
SEQUENCES

qhs Hone of tne Republican Parity.

The Hope Of the Republican Party.
Gen. John NJ. Palmer, of illinois, in Chi
cago the other day. said: 1.-THE only hope
of the Republican party lies in the passage
of its notorious national election bill. Z"
There is great deal Of truth in this assertion
of Gen. Palmer. If the Republican party
felt satisfied that it could elect a majority
of the next House of Representatives with
out a national election law it is quite Ger
tain that it would not make itself responsible
for SO unpopular and outrageous measure.
Its only hope, therefore, OF continuing in
power is a law that puts the control of con
gressional and presidential elections into its
ha dS
There is no doubt that it is its intention
TO pass such law. The republican leaders in
congress have been preparing the way for
it ever since congress convened. After
few more democrats have been unseated
and their places filed with republicans, the
election law will be pushed through both
Houses as rapidly as gag-law tactics will
permit.
The republicans pretend, of course, that
their purpose in passing a national election
law ID W Adlt tlcCtioio III ti4O QUILL.
The truth is. however, that they intend to
elect the next congress and the next Presi-
dent by means of returning boards. The
returning boards will be composed of re
publicans, and in all close congressional
districts the republican candidates will be
returned as elected.
The immense power which returning
boards exerted in the south during the
carpet-bag period is not forgotten. In 1876
the returning board of Louisiana changed a
majority of abont 1000 for Tilden to a
majority for Hayes, and its act and the acts
of other returning boards came near caus-
ing civil war. There IS no doubt that it is
the intention of the Republican party to
Sc the returning boards which it proposes
to create just as it used them in the south in
1876, and prior to that date.
In its determination to retain control of
the government the Republican party is
prepared to take any risks and to resort to
any means. A national election law will
pretty certainly bring about trouble be-
tween state and national authorities. The
people will submit to the majority as in
dictated by fair expression of op MON at
the ballot-box, but they will not submit to
a republican returning board majority.

Alderman Carson,s Resolution.


There is some satisfaction in knowing
that there is one member in the city council
who does not think the caucus system Is
beneficial to the public interests, and who
believes that the people have right to
know what their servants are doing. The
resolution which Mr. Carson offered in
council on Wednesday night, look
ing TO the discussion Of public
matters in open council, out to have been
adopted without hesitation. There is no
good reason why coulcilmen should settle
important matters which come before them
behind closed doors. Are they afraid to
let the public know the reasons which in
fuence their sctiona If they are not, why
do they spend so much of the time of their
regular meetings in secret session.
Alderman Cam is reported TO have said
that the caucus was a good thing for the
public but tad thing for the newspapers.
How is it good thing for The public' The
public would be glad to know how it is ben
Gifted by these secret communings of the
council. Why is the caucus bad thing for
the newspapers Do things take place in
the caucus that are startling and sensa-
tional? If so, the newspapers would like to
have them, of course, but if not then
we can assure Mr.. Cam that the
newspapers now get about all they want Of
the councils proceedings. If he had said
that the caucus was not to the advantage
of the public but was to the advantage of
the newspapers he would have come nearer
the mark.
The people--the taxpayers-want to know
the reasons which influence the council in
its action upon every important matter.
and they want to know also how every
dollar of the city's money is disposed of.
The newspapers would furnish them with
this information if they could get it, but
they are not particularly anxious to do SO.
As already stated, they don't desire to pub
lish any mere of the councils proceedings
than they now do
1t is true the newspapers have condemned
the caucus system because it does not seem
to be right to settle the most important
public matters in secret, nor is it right to
keep the public waiting for two or three
hours on the occasions of regular council
meetings before glimpse of the council is
obtained. The star chamber system of
transacting public business is not popular
with the public, however satisfactory it may
be to those who practice it. IL gives rise TO
suspicious, often unjust, it is true, and the
impression gets abroad that it is means of
keeping the people in ignorance of things
which public servants don't want them to
know

Congress will be called upon to deal with
the free zone question, an important sub
ject which affects the commercial relations
Of the United States and Mexico The free
zone is belt of country on the Mexican
side, about twelve and one-half miles in
width, extending along the entire frontier
in Matamoras, on the Rio Grande, from
near its entrance into the Gulf, to
Tia Juna. on the shore of the Pacific.
distance of 1900 miles. 1t affords splendid
opportunities for smuggling. By an abuse
of a Mexican law known as the coma ibre,
designed for beneficial purposes, foreign
dutiable goods arriving in Mexico over
American transportation lines and destined
to any part of Mexico may be detained
within the coma ttbre without payment of
customs duty to Mexico, having previously
passed free through this country.
Under this law importers of
foreign dutiable goods pass them
them through American ports and ever
American lines of railway to the free zone,
and then smuggle the goods back into the
United States without payment of duty to
either government. A joint commission
for the adjustment of the matter has been
asked for.

Yesterday in Richmond

The ceremonies connected with the I'M
yelling of the statue of Gen. Robert E. Lse
were of the most impressive character An
account of them is contained in our dis
patches this morning.
The memory of Gen. Lee occupies a
sacred place in every southern heart. He
is the ideal southern hero. His ability as a
soldier commands admiration, his virtues
command love. He is historical figure
that will not appear smaller as he recedes
down the corridors of time. Accounts of
his goodness, kindness and gentleness will
be handed down from one generation to
another, and thus will his memory be kept
fresh in the hearts of the southern people.
The grafton of Col. Archer Anderson was
worthy of the occasion. 1t was a splendid
tribute to the memory of great soldier and
a noble gentleman.
