He VIII Ask the Senate to Sit to q Finish
Monday.
WASHINGTON, April 11.-Among the bills
reported from committee and placed on the
calendar, were the following: A bill to pro-
vide for an American register for steamer
named Australia, owned in California; the
senate bill to provide and equip two steam
launches to be used in the collection dis
trict of Puget Sound.
Consideration of the Montana election
case was resumed, and as no senator sought
the floor the yeas and nays were orde red on
the first resolution. A vote was about being
taken when Evarts suggested that if no SEN
ator on the other side desired to speak he
would make the closing argument in sup
port of the committees report. Morgan
said that after hearing the sena-
tor from New York he might feel
himself required to say something.
Evarts then proceeded to state in
detail the facts and circumstances of the
Montana election and to discuss the powers
of the territorial canvassing board, on
which, he said, there were no limitations
imposed by the statute in words. BY that
he means, he said that ''its powers we're un-
limited within the sense that belongs to the
phrase to which it was applied" After a
long discussion on the duties and doings of
county and territorial canvassers, in the
course of which he criticised the governor
of the state for placing the janitor as a
Cerberns at the door of the court house as
sembly to admit only such persons as were
entitled to go in, thus making him for the
occasion judge of who were and who were
not elected representatives, Evarts said the
proposition on the democratic side was that
the senate was to be canvassing board
higher than the territorial canvassing
board, while the proposition on the repub-
lican side was that the senate had not such
power of revision. The latter, he said, was
the proposition of the constitution, of the
safety of the senate, and of the equality of
states.
Gray defended the governor of Montana
from criticism made on account of instruc-
tions to the janitor, and asserted that the
only direction given the janitor was letter
of instructions that he should admit every
one who claimed to be member of the
house of representatives.. After further de-
bate Hoar gave notice that on Monday he
should ask the senate to remain in session
until the Montana case was disposed Of
Hawley. from the select committee on
the quadro- centennial celebration, reported
back with an amendment the house bill for
the worlds fair at Chicago, and said he
hoped to have it passed Monday. After an
executive session the senate adjourned.

FALL STATE ELECTIONS
Upon Their Results Depends the Pnlitica
CnmnIexion OF The SENATE.

Upon Their Results Depends the Political
Complexion of the Senate.
The infamous outrage perpetrated on
the people of Montana gave the Repub-
licans ten majority in the United States
Senate, instead of the six to which they
were entitled. On the 4th of March
next twenty-eight Senators will have
complet ted their terms, and in the cleo
tion of their successors some important
political changes may be expected.
The condition of affairs in Wisconsin is
not by any means favorable to the hopes
of Senator Spooner for reelection, as
there are good grounds to look for a
Democratic Legislature. The contest
in Illinois will be most stubborn one,
General Palmer, the Democratic candi-
date for United States Senator, being
exceedingly popular, and being prepared
to use all his influence as an effective
campaign speaker for the election of a
Democratic Legislature. California
will likely send Democrat to the SEN
ate in Leland Stanford's place, and
Connecticut Democrats expect to re-
place Orville IL. Platt with a represen ia
tive of the popular party of the State.
Difficult though the task may be, on
account of the inlquitous apportionment
that prevails here, the New York De-
mocracy are prepared to enter upon
spirited contest N the fall to elect a
Democratic Assembly with a majority
large enough to overcome the Repub-
lican majority in the Senate on joint
ballot and thus insure Democratic
successor to William NJ. Evarts.
With an assured Democratic House
and a Senate that may be tie, the
country might rest easy for the re-
mainder of the Harrison administration,
as an effectual check will be put to
rec kless and extravagant appropria-
tions A radical change in the Senate
would be of incalculable benefit to the
country, for that body has hitherto ex-
hibited the most profound Indifference
in regard to the welfare of the people.
All the monopolies and pernicious ele-
ments which have so long controlled the
councils and action of the Republican
party. hold the Senate in their grasp.
An infusion of new blood of different
nature from that of Ingalls,, Stanford.
Evarts, Platt. Farwell and Spooner
would have most healthful effect upon
the Senate. There will be more gem
eral interest in the elections of the
various State Legislatures this fall, on
which depends the political complexion
of the United States Senate after March
4, than has been felt for many years be-
fore. The Republicans are considera-
bly, handicapped by the widespread pub
lie sentiment against the Harrison ad-
ministration and this most outrageous
Congress. They will not hesitate to re-
sort to all kinds of bulldozing tactics
to retain power. But naught can avail
against the voice of the people. ALBANY

FECERALiST ASSAULTS.
The Descendants of the Men Who Tough
jefferson Still on Deck

Jefferson Still on Deck.
Cabot Lodge, the Massachusetts Re-
publican who stands as sponsor in the
House of Representatives for the in
famous Federal election bill. is de-
scendant of George Cabot, who was a
member of the notorious Essex junto.
The Essex junto was cabal of old Fed
eralists who held out for many years
against the Democracy of Jefferson and
in favor of the aristocracy of Hamilton.
1t was this junto, aided and abetted by
the preachers of New England, that car
ried the old Federalist opposition to
Jefferson almost to the point of trea-
son and secession. Its members were
aristocrats who hated the people and
who believed that this Government
should be managed by the wise and the
good, they being the persons who were
to decide who were wise and good. As
for the idea that there could possibly be
any wisdom or virtue in the body of the
people, such proposition never en-
tered their heads. They regarded
wealth as the first requisite of good
citizenship. and a mans poverty was to
them sufficient evidence that he was not
wise and not good. The Essex junto
was overthrow by the triumphs OF
Democracy: its members went croaking
and lamenting to their graves, some OF
them publicly deploring the separation
of the colonies from the British crown,
and although their descendants organ
lied further opposition to Democracy
on practically the same lines
they never again dared to raise
aloft in the light of day the old Fed
eralist motto of Down with the peo-
pie" The triumph of Democracy over
this element was of as much Importance
as the triumph of the revolutionary
army against King Georges regulars
and mercenaries. The one was the
complement of the other, and without
the triumph of Democracy over Amer
lean aristocracy and privilege the tri-
umph of the patriot army over the
British monarchy would have been of
little avail. There would have been a
change of masters and no more.
Cabot Lodge fears and hates the peo-
PIE to-day as his ancestors hated and
feared them three generations ago. He
wants to govern them and to control
them. If they do not vote as he wishes,
or if they do not vote at ALL he would
like to have in use official machinery
that would compel them to vote and to
vote as he thinks they should vote. He
has no sympathy with and no under
standing of the Jeffersonian idea that
the people are capable of governing
themselves, of correcting errors as they
may arise and of working irresistibly
and continually toward justice and
right. He believes in drastic meas
ures and he is never quite so happy as
when he is laying down rules and regu
lations for other people.
1t is fit and proper that the party
which is the direct descendant of the
old Federalist party should have for a
leader in its newest assault upon the
liberties of the people man who is a
direct descendant of one of the bitJerest
of the old Federalist leaders. The
business is congenial ali around.-Chi-
cago Herald.

Recklessly Extravagant

at is 4 bold thing" says the Buffalo
Express (Rep.), Ito tell the truth about
pensions, and most men fear to be &C
cused of unpatriotic or selfish motives
in objecting to the supposed demands
Of old soldiers. But the conference
pension bill is not born of patriotism
and justice, nor is it based on prin-
ciples of good government The Re-
publican party, it is urged, stands
pledged to do justice to the soldier. Dc
pension appropriations of 500. 600, 900 a
year go for naught? Must $50, 900, O0O
more be given to prove that the Repub-
lican party is the soldiers friend?
That party has pledged itself to be
just. and it has magnificently redeemed
the pledge. When it becomes reck-
lessly extravagant it forgets it's duty
to the American people. A deficit OF
$50, O00 900 can never be explained, ex-
cused or extenuated. Right or wrong, it
invites disas .rous rebuke at the
polls"
