The Senate Committee Makes Some
Changes In tho Lodge BILL
WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-Among the changes
which the senate committee made in its
substitute for the Lodge election bill,
which was reported to the senate to-day,
are the following: All reference to that
cotton of the revised statutes, which, it
was claimed, provides for the presence of
troops at the polls, was stricken out. The
house to house canvas provided for in the
house bill was stricken out, and the pro-
vision for drawing iuries by commissioners
was also omitted. The penal offences were
simplified and made misdemeanors instead
Of feloniss. The punishments we're modi-
fed, the highest punishment imposed being
three years imprisonment and fine of
$1,000, as against imprisonment for five
years and fine Of 81, 200 in the house bill.
The judge, of the circuit court before
appointment of supervisors is au-
thorized to appoint as supervisors
any person he may see fit, not confined in
his selections to list furnished by the
chief supervisor. In cases Whe{sIhallots
are cast in the wrong box, they are not to
be counted, unless the tally sheet shows the
votes for congressman do not equal the
enough votes 20 wrongly cast shall be added
to the tally sheet TO mako the total equal to
the whole number of votes shown to be
cast. Where election officers refuse to ad-
minister the oath to voters applying there
for. it is provided in the bill that the super
effort shall be made to have the vote thus
refused cast, the object being merely to
preserve testimony of the application and
refusal.

Mr.. WANAMAKER's exclusion from the
mails of Tolstoi's new book may have
Significance than is at first apparent. 1t
is reported that the sale of "Kreutzer
Sonata" in Wanamaker's Philadelphia
store is very large as result of the pro-
prietor's clever advertising. His action
is criticised by a foreign paper as fol-
lows:
"In view of the nauseating and paltry in
decency of many American novels-chiefly
those of women writers-which are coming
over here every day, and which are presum-
ably allowed to circulate through the
American mails, we can hardly credit this
report that Tolstoi's remarkable though
painful study has been singled out for the
rare condemnation of the United States
government. 1t will be interesting to see
what will follow. If the Washington pos
tai authorities have constituted themselves
censors of literary morality they must not
stop short with Tolstoi. Who will be the
next victim, or perhaps it would be more
correct to say the next beneficiary, from an
advertising point of view, of their fastid
ious Judgment"
Mr.. Wanamaker should at least con-
fine these benefits to American authors.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT ATTORNEY
WEED tells a Journal reporter that he
hardly recognized his remarks as thew
appeared in an interview published in
this paper on Thursday. Mr.. Weeds
remarks were printed as he gave them
when interviewed. He said he thought
the government statute could be en-.
forced by the United States marshal
though there was no evident intention
to reflect on that officials character.
Mr.. Weed even suggested method Of
procedure. He was not misquoted in
any portion of the interview; he said a
good deal more than was printed and
the article was in no way cQlored United
States District Attorney Weed and Mr..
Russell B. Harrison's newspaper to the
contrary Notwithstanding.

COMPARISONS between President Cleve-
land and President Harrison in the mat
ter Of making changes in the federal Off
ces have been frequent. Mr.. Cleveland at
the beginning of his term found one
democrat in Office subject to his power
of removal and hundreds of republicans
were holding Office when he went out.
From March 4, 1884, until August l,
1885. he made 2,731 official appointments.
President Harrison made 5000 appoint
ments during the same length of time,
or one-third more than his predecessor.
This is the same Benjamin Harrison
who remarked in his inaugural speech
that ''only the interests of the public
service should suggest removals" The
republican newspapers, doubtless, will
explain that the president meant that
the interests of the public service re-
quired republican ofiiceholders.

The effect of the dressed beef COM
bine is shown in the recent department
report on cattle values: The aggregate
value in 1884 Of the CATTLE in the United
States was sl,1o6,7I5,6o3, while recent
statistics snow that the value of this
stock is only $913,777,27O, showing a
shrinkage of s192, 1886, 4s3 in six years,
although numerically cattle have in
creased more than 100000 head dur
ing the same period. The combine con-
trolls the market and price and the cat
tie raisers have to take their medicine.
More attention to legislation in the mat
ter Of trusts on the part Of our congress-
mon and less bearing down on the pros
porous southern states would indicate
that the welfare of the country has not
been entirely forgotten.

country is the Louisiana lottery, and
the republican party will use all avail
able means to reduce it's profits and
shorten it's existence"

A NATURAL GOVERNMENT.

Wanamaker and certain other very
good people may not approve Of Count
Leo Tolstoi as novelist, but whatever
form these views may take they will
hardly dispute Tolstoi's rank as a stu
dent Of political science. His opinion Of
our postal department has not been
made public but this is what he says of
our government:
ut is almost a mistake to call it gov
eminent ut all, in the general accepta-
ton of the term. The French govern
ment is a republican form of govern
ment; the people Of the United States
have natural form Of government
they govern themselves. A people who
are simply living under republican
form Of government because they like it
better than any other may possibly
change their minds in time of some
great public excitement and think that
king or emperor would be better after
all; but no such change is possible where
the government is really and truly 9
government Of the people-a natural
government"
This form Of government approaches
Tolstoi's ideal because it affords the best
protection to the individual. It is 6
natural government because equality
among men has been valued above all
other things in the formation Of govern
mental methods and in the considera
ton OF legislative measures. No class
has become dominant to the injury Of
others and the position of the individual
as part Of our system of government hat
been strengthened rather than weak.
ened. The United States is to-day 6
great and prosperous nation because oil
faith in the doctrine that "a nation least
governed is best governed" The close OF
the present decade finds armies of
happy and contented workers in all Sec
tions, developing all resources and labor
ing with common purposes and for indi-
vidual and national advancement. Into
this peaceful life a few republican men,
bers of congress come forward with a
dangerous and threatening legislative
proposition. They propose that the
general government shall enter fields
hitherto confined to the jurisdiction Of
states governments, and there, by curl
GUS and forbidding methods, assume the
power to control all elections. The re-
suits following the execution OF the pro-
posed measure would be most disastrous
Mere discussion of the bill has already
reopened bitter prejudices that were
fast dying away. Lines are drawn closer
and the fires Of sectionalism are rekin-
died. This is oil because the republican
party finds that it's political stock in
trade is giving out with the prosperous
growth of the southern states. The
leaders, by system Of compulsion, pro-
pose to retard this prosperity and give
misery and revolution in place. We do
not believe the bill become law.
Should it pass both houses it will be
killed when enforcement is attempted.
