The Elections Bill.

If any intelligent and loyal company Of
American citizens were required to catalogue
the essential humane conditions of National
life do not doubt that with absolute unan-
unity they would begin with ''free and hon
est elections" And it is gratifying to know
general desire was growing and non -parti-
san demand for better election laws. But
against this sign of hope and progress must
be set the depressing and undeniable fact
that election laws and methods are some
times cunningly contrived to secure minor
ity control while violence completes the
shortcomings of fraud. In my last annual
message 1 suggested that the development
of the existing law providing Federal su-
pervision of Congressional elections offered
an effective method of reforming these
abuses. The need of such law has mani
tested itself in many parts OF the country,
and its wholesome restraints and penalties
will be useful in all. The constitutionality
of such legislation has been affirmed by the
Supreme Court
Its probable effectiveness Is evidenced by
the character of the opposition that is made
TO il. 1t has been denounced as if it were a
new exercise of Federal power and an inva-
sion of the rights of the States. Nothing
could be further from the truth Congress
has already fixed the time for the election OF
members of Congress. It has declared that
votes for members of Congress must be by
written or printed ballot. II has
provided for the appointment by the
circuit courts in certain cases, and upon the
petition of a certain number of citizens Of
election supervisors aud made it their duty
to supervise the registration of votes con-
Quoted by the State officers; to challenge per-
sons offering to register; to personally in
spect and scrutinize the registry lists and to
affix their names to the lists for the purpose
OF identification and the prevention Of
frauds; to attend elections and remain with
the boxes till the votes are counted; to at
tach to the registry lists and election returns
any statement touching the accuracy and
fairness of the registry and elections, and
to take and transmit 20 the clerk of the
House of Representatives any evidence
of fraudulent practices which may be pre-
sented to them The same law provides for
the appointment of deputy United States

THE NAVY.

The construction and equipment ofthe new
ships for the navy have made very satisfact-
ory progress. Since March 4, 1889, nine new
vessels have been put in commission, and
during the winter four more, including one
monitor, will be added. The construct on Of
the other vessels authorized is being pushed,
both in the Government and private yards,
with every energy, and is being watched with
the most scrupulous care.
