The Senate Should Defeat 1t

Washington Post: From business
standpoint the Lodge Election bill is a
hundredfold more dangerous than tariff
for-revenue-onIy legislation 1t is cal
cuiated to create dlssention that would
last for generation. and the progress the
country has made since the close of the
Civil War would suffer a disastrous re-
action. 1t is a grave question with which
the senate is confronted. Its importance
to the whole country Is so momentous as
to call for action entirely outside of com
pIications and free of entanging alliances
Let the senate put quierus on the Lodge
bill and all similar legislation, and let it
be done because the patriotic motives
cause the welfare of the people of all sec
tions demands that it be auieted.

Haven't They Heard of the Terrible Out
rage on the 'sBIacks."
What in the world has prevented our
senator and representative in congress
from seeing the terrible outrage that Is
now going on in Chicago, right next to
Wisconsin? The last Sunday Herald had
it that "a respectable, well-to-do and God
fearing congregation of colored Metho-
dists have bought land for the erection OF
2 church at the corner Of Wabash avenue
and Twenty-fourth street. They compose
the cid and welI-known religious society
of Quinn chapel, and, having outgrown
their present quarters, are compelled TO
erect new church elsewhere. But they
are not to be allowed, it seems. TO worship
the Lord at the corner Of Wabash avenue
and Twentn-fourth street, If the white
residents Of the neighborbood can
prevent it. The mere idea OF colored
church at that locality has Mortified the
white folks Of blocks around. They are up
in arms against it: an organization Of ten
ants and property owners has been effected,
and every possible means will be taken
to keep the colored Christians out of the
locality. If this incident had happened in
a southern state howl of indignation
would have been raised along the whole
line Of republican organs, and we should
never have heard the last of it. But as 1T
chances to have occurred in northern re-
publican state these papers will probably
treat it with Quay-like silence. "

y ELEPHANT ON THEIR HANDS.

The republicans are in pitiable mess
fcult to determine just what they are go
ing to do with it, The Mckinley measure
passed the house by the votes Of men
who openly denounced it. of these, Ben.
Butterworth, recently given $4,000 job
as secretary of the world 5 fair commission,
is notable example He assailed the bill
with merciless array of facts and force
and logic which evidenced the intensity of
his opposition, and yet when the critical
moment arrived he was found voting for
the iniquitou5 production of the ultra pro-
tectronists with the humbleness of
Uriah Heep. Where one man like
him possessed the fearlessness to stand
up and proclaim his convictions there were
dozens doubtless who felt just as deeply,
who said nothing; but, with few excep-
tions, they were found in the party traces
at the final roll-call In some cases they
gave the excuse that they only voted for
the bill because they had reason to expect
that the senate would revise 1T on the line
of lower taxation. Now the bill as revised
by the senate committee on finance comes
before tie senate for its consideration.
The bill has not been amended by the COM
mittee in such way as to give satIsfac-
tion to advocates of tariff reform 1t is
still the Mckinley bill though now the
name Of Morrill, is added to it, apparently
as an acknowledging Of the Vermont
statesman $ labors III securing bounty
for maple sugar. Some schedules have
been changed for the better, but he inn
proyement on the whole is very slight.
This induces the Chicago News to ask:
What are the repubicon senators going to
do with it? The bill is not a republican
measure Mr. Blaine, tie real conseryator
Of republican ideas, denounces it. Many
other prominent men Of the party look
upon il az a pernlcious bit Of legislation
Thousands of republicans in every part of
the country regard it with disgust. 1t Is
the product Of the tariff benefciaries
themselves. Mckinley aud his asso-
ciates have permitted those who profit
by the tariff to revise it without re-
gard to the rights Of the people. This
is not denied. 1T cannot be denied
successfully. Why, therefore, should the
republican senators permit themselves to
accept this monstrosity as party

POLITICAL NOTES.

Among the prominent Philadelphians
who are opposing Quay and his hench-
man Delamater are Henry c. Lea, a life
long republican and one of the most lib
eral subscribers to the campaign fund of
the party.
OF the six republican newspapers in
Pittsburg only two are supporting Della
mater for governor. The Dispatch favors
the election of Pattison, and the Times
has incl1nations in the same direction

Senator Cullom. of Illinois, is said to
have the bee in his bonnet" He and
all the senators and everybody else are
agreed that the republican party must
trot out another man than Harrison.
The city of New York discovers a huge
plot to reduce her quota in congress by a
census which shall understate her popuIa-
ton. The Empire city is becoming great
ly exercised over the discovery.
A mass meeting of both democrats and
republicans has been called at Columbus.
Ohio, to protest against the election force
bill. Prominent republicans are to ad-
dress the meeting. The republicans who
oppose the measure throughout the North
are legion.
One of the signs of the times seems to
be the prospect of unity between Tammany
and the county democracy In New York.

A BILL was introduced in the house
yesterday by Mr.. Vandever, of California,
granting d pension of $1,000 to the widow
of Gen. John C. Fremont. The amount
will probably be reduced and the bill pass
ed. While perhaps no one has the dispo-
sition to keep one penny from the widow
of the Pathfinder which will in any way
add to her comfort, yet the business of in
creasing the civil pension list should lie
frowned down freely. 1t is contrary to
democratic doctrine. All dangerous
tendencies in governmental affairs are.
