invaded TO the prejudice or tue
greet mass of the people, by the de-
liberate policy of the government,
without occasioning popular revolution,
ia altogether inconceivable and iuered-
ible. But what is to be the
object OF this oRpricious partiality Of the
national councils? 10 it to be exercised
in discrimination between the different
departments Of industry, or between the
different kinds of property, or between
the different degrees OF propertyf Will
it lean in favor OF the landed interest, or
the moneyed interest, or the mercantile
interest, or the manufacturing interest
Or, to speak in the fashionable language
of the adverBaries to the constitution,
will it court the elevation Of the wealthy
aud the well-born' to the exclusion and
debasement of all the rest of the sec cietyp"

MOST DANGEROUS EVER SEEN.
The House bill Federal control Of
state eleotiona) ig the most dangerous at
tempt at Capitalization we have ever seen
in this country. Worse than that, it ia
the Capitalization OF the control Of elee-
tions in partisan junto or committee of
infamous rspute.- fittsbur8 Post.
VIOLATED LAW OF CHEATED PE2FLE.
When the Force bill is passed an ep-
propriate finale will be the smashing of
the glass case holding the constitution
and the colnmittal to the flames of that
violated law Of cheated people. .-Rich-

DANGER TO OUR INSTITUTIONS.
For it is very doubtful as We have

POPULAR STORM GATHERING.

leaders dread TO fana the American peo-

TYRAHNIoAL INNovATIoN.
The whole land rings to-day with the
clamor of excited partisang, who have
deoreed that legislation the most import
ant, the most vital, should be done not in
Congress but in caucus; not according to
world. wide parliamentary rule and usage,
but according to q new, strange, and for
hidden rule, that of one man filed also
by the olanlor of otheEs who have pro-
tested against this tyrannical and danger
GUS innovation. Public feeling
with regard to politics has never, since
the close of tine war, been so disturbed
and excited by Congressional action as it
ia now. Business confidence ia destroyed
for the time being; the great financial in
terests OF the country are threatened with
disaster and ruin, the good feeling which
lately existed between north aud south is
rapidly being destroyed. This wofully
changed condition of affairs has besn
brought about in the second year of the
administration, during the first few
months of the first session of the new
Congress. 1t has been effected by dis
oaEding the wiss counsels of reason and
by the use of partisan intimidation and
force. Partisan eIigency hes overTldden

1 DuBBLING OVER WITH MISCHIEF.
In name the Lodge bill is measure
which looks to rair elections. In fact it
is On instrument bubbling over with mis-
chief of u most dangerous nature, and Its
| passage would bring about slate OF
chaos in all parts OF the country thAt no
/ party could carry and succeed. From o
business standpoint the Lodge Election
bill is nundredfold more dangerous
tnan tariff f-for.revenue- only legislation.
1t II llcuiated to create dissensions that

/ progress the country has made since the
close of the civil war would suffer dis
astrous reaotion.- Washington Post.
SOON, THE ROAR OF IUTINY.
It is time. We have had enough Of
this despotism. The people may do
foolish things, but all Of them together
are wiser than Any one OF them. Con-
gress is not always a sapient body, but
we would rather trust to its collective
folly than turn our dsstinies over to M
autoorst. A change in the rules was
necessary, IL the transaction of the public
business was not TO come to q sudden
stop. But it was not necessary, MS an
accompaniment, that all the power and
| pIero9atives of the House should be
| transferred to the hands Of one man for
safe-keeping. That man has abused his
trust, and carried his dictetorial policy
step too far. The Republican party has
hnd enough OF MIR. Reed, unless he
changes front, and tina. quickly. II he
has left any of the snrewdnsss that
brought him to his present exalted posi-
tion, he will heed the murmuring OF dis
content that must soon become the roar
