WILL Nh. REED SOLVE 1T?
The Federal Election Bills and the
Problem Presented to Republicans,

1t is still an unsolved problem with the re-
publicans whether or not they will pass a fed
eral election law. After their experience in
look as il they would fail altogether unless Mr..
Reed takes the matter in his own hands. Thus
far everything that has been done of general
importance has been accomplished, by an ex-
hibition OF nerve on his part When thew have
got into an inextricable tangle he has cut the
knot and gathered up the loose ends of the web
in his own firm hand
There is no doubt that Mr.. Reed feels that
the immediate future of the party depends
upon their putting into execution the plan for
q general federal election law which they have
been asitating at their conventions for a num-
Der of years. At the same time. If anything 10
done, he wants 1t to be complete and effective.
A halfway measure would, according to the
radical view. be worse than nothing.
He does not favor the Rowell bill, but there
IS n very strong western contingent who do
favor it, and who would rather have no legis-
lation than to pass the Lodge bill. 1t is be-
lieved by the advocates of this more conserva-
tive measure that it can carry in caucus. II it
should it is probable that half the heart of the
radicals would be taken out of the issue. and
an adjournment might find the bill still I'M
acted upon. The delay in action by caucus
warrants the assumption that the conservative
element is still stronger in the party. for 1t is
certain that the radicals would strike at once if
for q moment they got control.
If the Speaker determins that a radical bill
must be passed, whether or no. and sets about
to pass it. his paN record ~justifes the belief
that he will succeed. The silver question
hung in caucus just about as this matter now
hangs until Mr.. Reed took the bit in his teeth.
Now the bill Is being debated and will certainly
pass the House with no amendments not already
agreed upon-

Proposed Removal Of the Mint.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
The House committee on public buildings

When the national government was moved

which TO erect moro. Now that Congress ex-
poets TO appropriate the necessary amount

more Boston or Chicago, and it is to be hoped
that some philosophical Congressman will

'delphia and inserting Washington. JUSTICE.

The climax Of the exciting events q the
work in the twenty-third Pennsylvania con-
gressional district came last night when Col.
VIM. A. Stone. who was nominated for Con-
gress by the republicans last Tuesday after Col.
Bayne declined, issued a card resigning his
claims to the nomination. Yesterday morning
Col. Stone stoutly asserted his intention to
stand, but in the afternoon he met a number of
friends who told him he could not be elected
as matters stood.
Tn county committee will meet on the 14th
instant and will order new primaries. Col.
Stone will be a candidate, but it is doubtful
whether he can secure the nomination. County
Chairman W.. ID. Porter, Geo. Shiras. Sd. who
gave Bayne his strongest fight, and Senator
Rutan are spoken of as candidates more likely
to win.

The LAFAYETTE Statue.

To the Editor Of The EyESI<a STAR.
Senator Evarts and the library committee
are wide Of the mark in their report to the
Senate on the location of the Lafayette statue.
Livery one must admit that the place for a
statue to the memory Of the illustrious
Lafayette is Lafayette Square, aud also that
ms should be ne statue in the reservation
bearing bis name. If the statue must be
placed on the pedestal prepared for \, ,ben
remove the Jackson statue to some other
reservation. but do not leave the two statues
on a line. We are a young country and our
material progress has been without parallel IN
the annals OF time, but this has been to the
sacrifice of the artistic feeling, as shown nv
the commission placing Lafayette statne in

to charge that the decree of divorce was void.

prisonment in the penitentiary and $500 fine.
