which will be- to secure progressive
Improvement of the condition of
the laboring classes. especial y
with view to their making suitable pro-
vison for old age. The aim will be govern
ment in the true meaning of the word.
Government has not only to enforce the law
at home, but to secure to France the respect
due to her abroad. Such a government we
can be if your confidence is granted.

with applause in both the Senate and cham

aud tolerant republic. In the chamber M.

NEW WRINKLEIN VOTING
LODGE PLEASED BY THE PRAISE
HIS BILL is GETTING.

He Rather Expects a Flood of Peti-
tions from the Labor Organizations
Favorable to the Australian Ballot
Systematic McComas Redistric.ing
Bill to Come up in Committee To-
Day.
WASHINGTON, March 18-According to
programme, the McComas redistrioting bill
will come up tomorrow morning In Mr..
Lodges committee on election Of President
and Vice President for its first thorough
discussion. The democrats of the COMMITTEES
have been preparing for the fight ever since
last Wednesday, and will attack it vigor-
ously. 1t will eventually be reported
favorably. however, land put through the
House.
MIR. Lodges bill will come up later.
Meanwhile Mr.. Lodge is rejoicing in all the
praise it is getting and smiling at the
blame. He thinks it will prove very popu-
lar. He has observed with pleasure that
labor organizations all over the country
have commended the Australian ballot sys-
tenn of voting, and he expects them to COM
mend his attempt to extend it to all
congressional elections.
EXPECTS A FLOOD OF PETITIONS.
He would not be surprised at a food of
petitions in its favor. He sees no validity
in the objections raised to it by the demo-
cratic leaders. He does not think petitions
asking that congressional elections may be
held under the provisions of this bill will be
confined TO the SOUTH He remarks that
federal supervision has been asked for Ia
Lynn. He expects TO see the working men
especially and all good citizens generally In
every state, north or south, which does
not adopt the Australian system itself, unite
to petition that their congressional elections
may be held under tits law should it be
placed upon the statute books.
POWER OF THE JUDGES.
AS 30 the objection that federal judges are
given too much power. Mr.. Lodge says
that there is no other class Of officers In our
system SO nearly non-partisan as our judges.
The powers Of the clerks, he points out, ara
purely ministerial. As to the provision for
assistance to illiterates in marking their
ballots, he says it is simply the Massachu-
setts provision for illetrates before 1850
with the added safeguard that both political
parties are to be represented at the marking.

WASHINGTON, March 18.-It is very diff

KANSAS CITY, KAN, March 1S.-Yester-
day good many boomers went south, but
news came this morning from reliable
sources that cavalry were actually on the
way, and would surely eject them, and now
they are stopping between here and the
line to wait developments. At least two
thirds of those that went in from this point
have come out, butsome still remain. Most
Of those remaining are along the Black
Bear and other creeks and the Arkansas
river. The prairie is almost deserted. Some
say they will stay until they are
forced out, and then will 20 in
again at the first opportunity, but this
is the rough element. The only way an
other invasion can be kept down Is for those
who are there to be forced and compelled
TO stay out, for many say they do not wish
TO disobey the Presidents proclamation,
but say that II Others are allowed to stay
there they will return. Cattlemen are
holding secret meetings here and discussing
the situation aud planning for the future.
They will ondeavor TO bring at laast part Of
their cattle into Southern Kansas.
