Federal Control of Elections.

i Will this country consent that
 the political complexion of Con
 gross shall be determined at Wash.
 ington? Shall Representatives be
 chosen by their constituents or be
 selected by the Speaker and the Re
 publican National Committee, Mat
 thew s. Quay, chairman? This is
 the condition winch confronts us.
 Party leaders who possess unlimit-
 ed power will resort to crime when
 their ascendancy is threatened. In
 1877 the Republicans devised a plan
 for holding the Federal offices by
 which the will of the people was thwarted. Grave judges of the Su- preme Court were accomplices in the wicked conspiracy. Within the present year, in order to hold at least one branch of the legislative department, the majority of the United States Senate has voted for the admission of Territories to Statehood which do not cast as many votes as single assembly dis trict of this city. In order to in crease the Republican majority in the House, arbitrary power has been bestowed upon the Speaker, and the Representatives of the people have been robbed of their right to debate and deliberate. Under this power Mir. Reed has driven out of Con- gress Representatives elected by the people, and has seated in their stead their defeated opponents. Suppose that such law as that proposed in the Lodge-Rowell bill had been on the statute-books in 1856? Slavery was threatened and the rule of the Southern Democracy was doomed. But the courts were in their hands. The supervisors of elections would have been their tools. The emissa- rieS of the party would have had the right to search the houses of citizens, to drive them from the polls, to hale them before juries composed entirely of their political adversaries, to count their votes, and to certify to a partisan Clerk of the House the names of the men elected. Slavery would have lived, free government would have died, and despotism would have triumph ed. Concentrated power means ty- ranny. Diff'used power means lib- erty. If we are to preserve that, each district must choose it's Rep resentative untrameled, and each State must certify the result.-New York World.

A correspondent of the Spectator who loves birds songs has had a happy idea in proposing that tie wistful music should be taken down note for note by sensitive phono- graph. This done, the song could be reproduced leisurely, and scored by competent musician. "Thus, ; says he, "art and nature would go hand in hand"

cites the Causes That Led

A Strong Case for tho EN- loyes-Purpose
Of the Management to Destroy
the Order.

New YORK, Aug. 22.-Yesterday Powderly
prepared the following, which was made
public: For some time the management of
tho New York Central and Hudson River
railroad has been discharging employees who
have been active in labor affairs. 1t hap
pens that all those who have been dismissed
are members of the order Of Knights OF
Labor and have at one time or another
been officers in the order or have served on
committees which waited on officials with
view of presenting grievances.
These discharges became 60 frequent and
were 60 clearly an evidence of the settled
purpose on the part Of the company to dis

that the executive board of district assem-
bly 246. in which the Knights of Labor upon
the system are enrolled, found it necessary
to cali special meeting to consider the ait.
uation. In the meantime the genera!
executive board, having been appraised of
the condition of affairs, sent one of its
members. J. J. Holland, to New York with
instructions to use all possible efforts to
bring about an amicable adjustment of
thediffculty.
ON his arrival in New York, Holland,
after a conference with the representatives
of the district assembly, in the course Of
which he obtained a full knowledge of the
trouble from the standpoint of the men,
waited upon Vice-President Webb. Hol-
land stated to Webb that he had called
upon him to endeavor to adjust the I'M
pieasantness existing between the company
and its knights of Labor employees.
Webb denied there was any trouble ex-
listing between the company and its en-
ployes. Holland told him he, as member
of the general executive board of knights
of Labor. had come at the request of the

SHE WAS POISONED]

Not by anything she drank or took, but
by bad blood. Is it any wonder she
feels "blue?" In most cases blues are
only another name for bad blood. A man
or woman feels unhappy. Life seems
dark. The heart is heavy. Bad blood is
carrying its poison all over the body, and
we call it "blues."
Read these experiences:

Blood Elixir the best medicine in the
