rrieties of life in the family to force one

country.
Itisnot at ali probable that Messra

facilities for getting business attended

hazardous to favor them at the expense
of other claim agents. Still, the name
Of a pubIic officer is being used to get
business for firm Of which his son IS
one of the members. The old soldiers
will believe that an agent who is so near
IN the Commissioner must have advan-
tages which others do not possess II
comes close, therefore, to being case OF
getting business under false pretenses,
A son who had any delicacy OF feeling
would not do any thing which would
subject his father to unjust but natural
susnicious. A father who cared much
for his good name would not tolerate
for moment the attempt on the part
of I son to trade on it. The members OF
the Raum family seem to have thick
hides, however, and they may not mind
what the outside worlds saying so long
as the cash comes in.
General Raum went into office under
favorable circumstances. He had made
a good record in the Internal Revenue
Bureau. He succeeded the surplus
buster" Tanner, whose administration
of the office had been marked by irreg-
ularities, such as the rerating Of pen
sions. but for some time back the pres
ent incumbent has been the object OF
charges in and out of Congress, and to
some of them he has made no reply. So
far as these accusations hinted at mis-
conduct nobody who knew him be-
lieved them. When he was accused OF
peddling out among his clerks the stock
of company in which he was inter-
ested he denied it, and his denial was
believed.
But in the light of this unrebuked ap-
pearance of his son as pension agent
at time when the business, owing to
the passage of the dependent act, is to
be a most profitable one, it is difficult
to see how far General Raum's denials
of past charges can be given much
weight. He has shown too plainly that
he has not a high standard of official
proprie ty-that he is willing to put ur
with suspicion and distrust, so that
some member of his family may make
little money out Of. the old soldiers
His course is mortifying to every Hi

THE ELECTION LAW.
Condemned by Business Men in All Sec
tions of the Country.

As a general rule, we think that busi-
ness journals should not interfere in
partisan politics, but there are political
measures which are so intimately $50
ciated with the welfare of the whole
country that it becomes the duty Of
every business man to speak out and let
himself be heard upon them.
At Appomattox General Grant said to
General Lee: Tell your men to take
their horses home with them to help
them make their crops" and afterward
uttered the immortal words: LET us
have peace
The people of the South accepted their
defeat in good part and went earnestly
to work to retrieve their fortunes, with
a result which has challenged the ad-
miration OF the world; but Just as the
New South is emerging from its dark
ness, with its labor contented and its
resources developing by union OF
Southern effort and Northern capital,
certain politicians, actuated by the
same spirit which General Grant re-
bul5ed, now come forward and for parti-
san purposes seek again to stir up strife
between the North and the South by
proposing what is popularity known as
'the force bill" Federal election law
which Lincoln, Grant and fairfield, the
great leaders Of the Republican party,
II alive to-day would unhesitatingly
condemn, and which every fair-minded
man must pronounce as unwise as 1t is
unnecessary. Even intelligent colored
men are already found protesting against
it as sure to result in detriment to their
race.
The conditions at the South are such
that until the colored people have grown
in intelligence, liberation and virtue,
the white race must necessarily DO the
dominant race. Northern Republicans,
who visit tho South and see for them
selves admit this, The property Of the
South is being taxed to educate the col.
ored people, and in time they will rise
to the responsibilities and duties OF cit.

Among the arst TO condemn II will be
the men In blue, who fought against the
men in gray and who sympathise more

er than they DO with those who seek to
speak for the Republican party to-day.
At any rate, 1t Is time for the business
men OF tho United States 70 protest In
the name Of the country's welfare against
such Legislation as the force bill, and

Who Capt. McCalla Is.
Boston Irdnscripts Washington LIE

Boston 1rdnscriDt's Washington Letter.
There is more army and navy to the
square inch III Washington than in any
otuer town in this country, and conse-
Quently there is a tremendous stir over the
state Of affairs on the corvette Enterprise.
Capt. McCalla was on duty in Washington
for several years before being ordered to
the command of the Enterprise, and is one
of the best known men about town. He
and his wife were great society people, and
Capt McCalla was prominent clubman.
Army aud navy men are as mute as mice
about the affair; but, although nobody is
disposed to take snap judgment on the cap
tain, his own account of his cutting the
drunken sailor with his sword, and the sur
geol's certificate that the wound was an
inch and "A half long, has produced very
bad impression. Tho idea of the captain
Of ship performing the police duty which
properly bslOngi TO tho marines Is rather
damaging TO the officer so doing Capt.
McCRlla Is a very polished man In his man-
ners on shore, but he doesn't seem 10 have
been very polls ed at sea. IL is reported
that the men intend sending a round-robin
20 the navy department, which Is most
unusual, II not unprecedented, thing In the
American navy.
