ANIMUs OF THE FORCE BILL.-The Rich
mond Dispatch says the animus of the
force bill was very clearly brought out in
the Senate Thursday by Mr.. Frye. when
the gentleman from Maine declared for a
bayonet behind every ballot, in the discus
sion of the measure referred TO 1t was also
very properly emphasized by Major Daniel,
who called attention to the fact that while
Mr.. Frye's conception of republic may be
an association of bayonets with ballots, the
conception of the American people of this
republic of ours, founded in the blood and
hardship and patient labor of the Fathers,
is very different thing indeed. Mr.. Frye
will probably hear tremendous second to
this. proposition of Mr.. Daniels at the next
general election.

Quay Opposed to the Force Bill.

Senator Quay Is still opposed to the
Force bill. He is quoted as follows:-
81 am now, as 1 have always been,
against the Force bill. It's bad politics,
and if passed would defeat any party pass
ing it. | am satisfied that if the bill should
become law in the present Congress, we
would lose New York in '92 by fifty If not
one hundred thousand maj ,rity. The bill
is not only bad political measure, but to
large extent financially bad There &re
hundreds of millions of dollars invested by
New York and the North in Southern
interests. There is no good business man
that does not know that the passage oil
such bill would prove disastrous to the
business interests of not only the South
but the entire country
In these few words," remarks the
Philadelphia Telegraph, Republican, 'sthere
is world of practical political WISDOM
Every hour adds to the force of the obser-
-yations herein made, and confirms the
position taken by those who are opposed to
this proposed legislation. 1t is to be hoped
that before the next caucus is held Repub-
lican Senators will have come to the con-
ciusion that their duty requires them to
wholly set aside the election bill and to
proceed to the consideration of other
measures, designed to promote the best
interests of the whole country. Too much
time already has of en- wasted in the dis
cussioD, in and cut of Congress, of this
masterpiece of political iniquity."

Mrs. William Glenp, nee Hiss Miriam

place, and the lady went TO New York to
study for the lyric stage. Now the news
comes that she has changea her mind and
will make her debut iD 1.-THE Clemenceau

THE UNION GETTING SoLID.-In 1891,
says the Montgomery Advertiser, there will
be Farmers Alliance Governor in Kansas,
democratic Governors in twenty eight States
and the governorship in two States in dis
pute. Add TO this that Illinois and Indiana,
though they have republican Governors,
have elected democratic Legislatures. The
States now srrayed against high taxes and
the bloody shirt issue number so, 200, 900
inhabitants, against 100000 in republi-
can States. The republican majority in the
present United States Senate represents
the sentiment of small fraction of the
American people. In trying to pass the
force bill it presents the spectacle of minor
ity rule trying to perpetuate itself by un-
scruDulOuS means

"A complaint against the census, far more
serious than that raised by New York, comes
from the Indians. New York, at the worst
loses member of congress under the new
apportionment. The Indians, however, by
being counted "short," lose considerable

health and life. Although the whole sys-
tenn of s. pporting in idleness 1850, 900 able

Miss Garner Engaged to the MARQUIS de
Breteuil.


The New York Herald says the an
nouncement of the engagement of Miss
Lita Garner, of New York CITY. to the
Marquis de Bceteail has just been made in
Paris by word from Pau.
Miss Garner is the eldest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. William Garncr, who were drown
ed in the yacht Mohawk on Thursday, July
20, 1876. She ia also the niece of Mrs.
Fred Lawrence, with whom she has been
living abroad.
Ths Marquis de Breteuil is the head of
one OF the Oldest families of France. He
ia roya ist in politics. and for several
years has represented the Department of
the Hautes.Pryenees in the Chamber.
Tbs Marquis has been the social repre-.
sentative Of the Comte de Paris, and is a
member Of the Jockey Club. He is keen
sportsman and a great traveller. A few
years ago he made very interesting jour-
ney in company with Mr.. Henry Ridge
way, of Philadelphia, to Central Asia.
The Marquis de Breteuil is al intimate
friend of the Prince of Wales, who never
passes through Paris without spending
several hours in his company. The Mar.
quis is of middle age, medium height, with
black hair and fine bright eyes. He is
elastic in step and is Of vigorous physique
and decidedly pre-. possessing in manner and
appearance.
Should the Comte de Paris ever come to
the throne the Marquis de Breteuil would
probably be offered the portfolio of Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs or the Embassy to
the Court of St. James.
