The Federal Election Bill.
New York Sum-

The word bayonet does not occur in the
bill, but the Federal bayonet is in it, lust
the same. AS Mr.. Brosius, of Pennsyl-
yania, declared to the House last week, if
the bill becomes law, the whole army
and navy of the United States can be
called on to enforce its provisions, and
every dollar in the treasury expended in
lead and gunpowder with which to sup
press resistance to its enforcement. Fed
eral interference with the local elections
means armed interference, if ordered Any
other conception of the laws ultimate con-
sequences is childish.
A gentleman in Brooklyn, who is in favor
of the bill, has asked US to say in which
section the bayonet appears. As We told
him yesterday, the Federal bayouet can be
found in every one of the ffty-seven Sec
tons. In section 80 its CLEAN 10 distinctly
visible.
This part of the bill specifically provides
that certain sections of the Revised Statutes,
including the whole of Title "a, "Civil
Rights" are incorporated in the new Fed
eral Election law, and "are each and every
one of them made a part of this act, and
their provisions made to refer and apply to
this act with the same force and effect as if
it was specifically mentioned or referred to
therein, save as the same shall be changed
or modified by thu terms of this act" One
of the sections of Title "a, thus incorpo.
rated into the Lodge bill and made part of
It, is as follows:
''SECTIoN 1889. 1t shall be lawful for
the President of the United States, or such
person as he may empower for that pur-
pose, to employ such part of the land or
naval forces of the United States, or of The
militia, as may be necessary to aid in the
execution of judicial process issued under
any of the preceding provisions, or as shall
be necessary to prevent the violation and
enforce the due execution of the provisions
of this title"
Here are the bayonets, the drums, the
blue coats, the blue jackets, the howitzers,
and the Cuttings, all ready to do the bid
ding of the Man on Horseback, the shadow
of whose coming darkens every section of
the infamous measure passed yesterday by
Republican votes in the House of Repre-.
sentatives.

LONDON, Oct. 22.-The parliamentary
election in the Eccles division of Lam
cashire, today, resulted in a victory for
the Gladstonians. Roby, the Liberal
candidate, received 49O1 votes, and Eyer
ton, Conservative, 1896. In the preced-
ing election the Liberal candidate re-
ceived. 1896 and the Conservative 4277.
The News says the result Of the Eccles
election will make the demand for the
dissolution Of parliament louder than
ever.
The Chronicle says the election was
fought on the eight-hour and not on the
Irish question, and that the result is q
great triumph for the non-unionists.
The Post says when the real moment
for national decision is reached, the
double issue by which Eccles has won
will be very small item in the general
result. s
The Times admits that the result was
due to the return of the Gladstonians to
their allegiance, coupled with Roby's
acceptance of the eight-hour principle.
The Standard says: Is is futile to
deny that the result of the Eccles cleo
ton disappoints the unionists. We
regret that the conservatives main
tanned their ground. They failed to
emulate the Gladstonians in securing
new votes.

A NAMELESS HERO.
HE SAVED A LIFE AT THE PERIL
M OT HIS OWN.
aster on the Cincinnati & Southern
The Trainmen Slept.

CINcrNNATI, Oct. 22.-From the story
of railroad men who arrived here to-
night, it appears that the wreck on the
Cincinnati Southern last night was due
to the carelessness of the crew of the
freight train. This train was instructed
to wait at Sloan's Valley until passenger
trains and 5 had passed. The wait
was long, and the crew of the freight
train went to sleep. Engineer Pimlott
awoke just after No. 8 had passed, and
assuming that it was No. 5, and that the
road was clear, aroused the crew and the
train went on. The approach to both
ends of the tunnel is sharply curved, and
within one hundred feet Of the mouth of
it the trains met. Only the sleeper and
one coach on the passenger train were
saved, the train hands and passengers
pushing them back up the track. Flames
started few minutes after the collision,
and the wooden lining of the tunnel is still
burning tonight. A brave man, whose
name was not learned, hearing the cries
of George Long in the baggage car,
seized an axe, cut hole in the car and
rescued Long. In the express compart-
ment of the car, was L. P. Ruffner,
United States express messenger. The
unknown hero worked hard to cut way
for Ruffner to escape, although the
flames were darting all about him. The
effort was futile, and Ruffner finally
shouted from his prison to 60 away and
save himself, to cay good bye to his
family and tell them his would-be res
cuer did all man could to save his life.
The unknown hero staggered out of the
tunnel with his hair and clothing badly
scorched, and fell'down in faint. None
of the men in the excitement thought OF
learning his name, but it is believed he
is railroad man. Others of the train
men had wonderful escapes. 1t is mirac-
ulous that any of the passengers escaped
without injury.

San Quentin Escapes on Their Way
Back to Prison.
CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-Charles H. Thorne
and George Shinn were started back to
California tonight, in charge of two Cali
fornia officers. They were heavily
ironed and both shackled to the seats
of the railway coach in which they were
to make the journey. They are the pair
arrested in Chicago week ago after the
period of liberty succeeding their daring
escape from San Quentin prison in
1887. Shinn took his return coolly, but
Thorne, who was under sentence for life,
seemed broken-hearted. He protested
earnestly that since his escape he had
lived honestly and would have continued
to do so. The California officers suspect
that the two men have been concerned
in some of the many robberi@ which
occurred since they escaped. Shinn and
Thorne deny this emphatically. Thorne
says convict who was in prison with
them, and whose term has since ex-
pired, saw them in Chicago while ago,
and notified the San Quentin officials.
This, he says, is how their capture came
about.

HILL IN OHIO.
HE SPEAKS AT WOOSTER AND
MASSILLON.
Large Crowds Edited by the Sterling
Champion of Democracy-A Pleasant
Chat With Major Mckinley.

WOOSTER, o., Oct. Ex-Governor Hill
left Canton for Wooster this morning,
arriving at the latter place at noon. At
every station along the route q large
crowd gathered and cheered Governor
Hill as the train passed. At Massillon,
Major Mckinley, VINO was on his way to
Smithviile, boarded the train and chat
ted with the governor until he reached
his destY nation. On his. arrival at
Wooster an immense throng cro wded
the station. and the city was in gay hol-
iday attire. Governor Hill addressed a
monster open air mass meeting of eight
thousand people in the afternoon. He
spoke at length on the tariff question,
and also on the elections bill. Regard
ing the latter, he said nothing had taken
place in any part OF the south to justify
the exercise of the doubtful power OF
congress to regulate elections. He de-
'nounced the force bill 'as dangerous
exercise OF constitutional authority,
menace to our theory of government,
and an insult to the people of the
states"
Continuing, he said: The states
have always regulated their own con-
gressional elections. They should be
permitted to continue to do SO. The re-
fusal of such privilege is policy of
force and partisanship. A mere recital
OF the details of the proposed measure is
sufficient to make it execrable. The
tendency OF such legislation would be to
provoke conflict between the federal
and state officials, and race prejudices
would be engendered at the south. This
force bill is vicious attack upon the re-
publican form Of government. Those
who affect to think the people do not
understand this issue, and are not
aroused to its importance, mistake the
signs of the times and the character
and temper of the American people. In
conversation with Major Mckinley to-
day, he told me that it was the inten-
tion of the present Republican congress
to pass the force bill before its expiia-
ton, no matter which party was sue
cessful in the coming elections. If they
do not carry the next election, you can
rest assured they will not pass the BILL"
The governor addressed another au-
dience this evening at the opera house,
and later left for MassillOn.
