Dill will make that election free and fair in
the South it ought to become law in season
70 apply to it. Republicans who believe
that this will be its effect-and almost all
the Republican Senators have indicated such
a belief-ought to be ready to resort to all
legitimate means to get it upon the statute
book In season to de eat the fraud and force
that will inevitably accompany the congress
sional elections in the South under existing
regulations.
1t is practically conceded that If the bill
could be put to vote in the Senate tomor-
row it would be passed, perhaps not in the
exact condition 1t came from the House. but
without any very serious modification. The
reason given for postponement by most Of
the Republicans is not the reason that inHu-
ences Senator Plumb, namely. opposition to
the bill. but fear that If the bill is pressed
another bill Of great Importance, namely. the
tariff bill, win be defeated, or at least not
enacted. The reasoning of Mr.. Quay and
his followers Is substantially this; The
Democrats have it 10 their power by dila-
tory tactics to delay the tariff bill indef-
nitely, and they will exercise their power
If it is understood that the election
bill is to be taken up after the tariff
bill is passed. By agreeing to allow the
election bill to go over the consent of the
Democrats to a vote on the tariff may be OBJ
tained. These gentlemen reason that 1t is
better to sacrifice one bill and save the other
than TO sacrifice both. Their reasoning
would be sound If the condition which they
assume really existed. II 1t were fact that
the Senate could not pass both bills then it
would be wiser to pass one. even If trade
had to be made with the Democrats to do it.
than to abandon both. But 1t is within the
power Of the Republicans to pass both. The
rules will have to be changed to do it. but so
the rules will have to be changed to pass the
election bill at the next session. So the
profession of an intention to pass the cleo
tion bill at the next session, if sincere, is
tantamount to profession of intention to
change the rules at the, next session so that
debate can be limited. for it is obvious that
without such change the Democrats can fill
buster next session as effectively as they can
this.
A change of rules must therefore be con-
templated at the next session by the Sena-
tors who desire the postponement of the
election bill this session If their profession
of an intention to pass that measure then be
sincere. That being the case why not make
the change this session and pass both bills
the tariff bill and the election bill?

purpose, but will irritate the sore without

mr. Plumb does, his course in voting to re-
luse 70 give it consideration this session is
consistent and nobody has any reason to

An Ohio correspondent of the Tribune
says: A few days ago an acquaintance of
mine had occasion to repair chimney, and
IN doing so put In an oak post as support
between the bricks and the garnet window.
The next day he discovered this post on fire,
although there was no fire In any other part
of the house. He promptly extinguished

next day the same thing occurred, much to
his alarm. Passing by, l was called in to see

Inc Boston Advertiser points out that the
vote by which the Grand Army veterans
adopted the service pension scheme was not
representative vote. Out of 700 delegates
only 1874, or not quite one half, voted in fav-
or Of the service pension recommendation
while Of those who did vote the ayes were
in the majority by only IA. In view Of all
the circumstances this vote shows a great
growth of conservative views among the
members of the G. A. r. Those who fay-
ored service pensions marshalled their fore
es, fought for the resolution and held togeth-
er, yet only cast 174 votes out of 700 dele
gates. On the other hand there was no CO.
heslveness of purpose among the opponents
of service pensions and many were away on
excursions and side trips. 'We think" adds
the Advertiser, shat it may be fairly
claimed that the members OF the G. A. r.
are well satisfied with what the present Con-
gress has so generously and so willingly
done for the soldiers"

Good Enough To Be True.

A peculiar insurance story comes from
Lynn. Illustrating the way certain trans
action can be source of profit to numerous
people A fire occurred among the stock Of
a large morocco firm. They claimed total
loss, their stock of goods being worth $s5.
600 and insured at $65.0OO. The adjusters
thought, after little advice, that there
might be little money left In the leather,
and SO offered to pay $4,000. or $4,000 more
than the total insurance. and take the stock.
When they got It into their hands they had
1t appraised and 1t was valued at S35, 600. A
keen-eyed man looked over the stock,
thought he saw money In it, got Lynn man
to back him and offered $4,000 for it. The
first owners had thus far come out 5000
better than they expected, the adjusters had
got back more than half their money. The
last purchaser disposed of the goods to DIFF
ferent parties for 100000, and, although he
did not have a cent of capital when ne made
the purchase, he and his hacker will have
$4,000 each from the ransaction.-Boston

The prompt passage of the anti.lotteru hil

The prompt passage of the anti-lottery bill
by the House of Representatives adds anoth-
er to the many laurels already won by that
body. A tremendous influence was exerted
by the lottery lobby to accomplish post
ponement, but to the credit of the Represen-
tatives 1t inglorieusly failed. What will be-
come Of the bill In the Senate is profile
NAUTICAL, though as the Democrats win hardly
have the courage, even If they have the dis
position. to array themselves soildly against
the bill, the prospect for its passage is hope
full. The bill will inflict very severe blow
to the lottery concern IL 1t its provisions are
strlngently enforced as there is no doubt
they will be by Postmaster General Wana-
maker, and it may even so cripple its bust
ness as to induce the company to back out of
Its partially consummated trade with the
State of Louisiana.
