rBE HoAR rIrCrIoN uIcL,

Mr.. Lodges election bill has been
superseded by Mr.. Hoar's. The new
bill places the supervision of national
elections, so far as congressman are
concerned, in the hands of supervisors
who, on the petition of one hundred
citizens, shall serve on election day
and until the completion of the can
vass. The returns of these officers are
to be authoritative.
This takes Federal elections alto
eether out from the control of the
States. For hundred years the coun-
try has got along with the old system
Of letting the respective States look
after the manner Of electing their own
representatives. But il is probable that,
~ this bill is carried, 1t will be neutral
lied by local want of sympathy or even
positive antipathy. The representation
of State in Congress is State ques-
ton, and no one outside of the State
has right to meddle with it in anv
way. An attempt TO pass the Lodge
or the Hoar bill is simply an attempt at
Federal usurpation and should, as such,
be resisted
Perhaps neither bill will become
law, and il may not be worth while to
waste discussion on question which
may have only theoretical significance.

From Me Chicago Jrt6URe.
The little handful Of Hollanders who
gathered in the meeting.room at Elgh-
teeuth street and Blue Island avenue
last evening heard the Rev. Robert
Collyer tell in a most charming off hand
manner the story of his break with the
Methodist Church. H. was chat rather
than q sermon, and Mr.. Collyer sat
comfortably in q chair on the platform
with his legs crossed while he said:
81 remember more than twenty years
ago, when / was Methodist preacher,
and pretty good one, too, II do say II,
who shouldn't, going to protracted
meeting and hearing young man
preaching on the text, God is Love
I'd been worried for long time about
the way the Methodists viewed God.
They made the Almighty such q terror
that you couldn't understand his love.
The young man whom l speak of was
just out of a theological seminary, aud
he had 1t all right. He talked of the
necessity of accepting religion right
away. lie said: There's that fire, I
might hold my hand in it for five min
utes and my suffering would give not

ference. / said didn't believe in total
| depravity. There's good and bad in all
| of US. We've got to cultivate the good
and put our heels on the bad. I've been
happy in the Unitarian Church."
Mr.. Collyer said everything in the
Bible was not to be taken for true. MY
little grandson, when he heard the
story of Jonah and the whale, he said
i don't think that is likely story,
and 1t isn't. We can't believe these
things. l was puzzled over the story
Of Joshua having the sun to stand still
at Ajalon while he hammered the poor
fellows that he had no right to ham
lner. and that other one of the rams

may do for the meeting house, but they
wouldn't do for the world. So / con
cluded that the Bible is made up oi
fine gold and dross. AS we discover
the dross we regret it, but we take thu
gold to our hearts and cherish it.
"You believe" he concluded, "ir
honesty. You believe in standing by
the truth. You believe first, last ant
always that God is love. In the full
ness of time every human being will b.

From tie Minneapolis tribune.
Senator Vests i'll tempered speech de-
nouncing the city of Chicago and the
Worlds Fair is the most disgraceful
incident of the whole protracted disc IS
sion of the proposed celebration. Mr.
Vest was Indignantly abusive. Th
fair at Chicago will be glorious su,
cess. The splendid metropolis will
astonish and delight hundreds of thou
sands of visitors. The water supply
that Mr.. Vest disparages 50 unfairly
will be found in 1898 one of the best in
the world And in all respects the lake
side city will more than fulfill expecta
tions, The group of Southern Senators
who have followed Mr.. Vest's lead and
voted against the fair bill in toto have
taken contemplate attitude. Chicago
will be the more Jealous to make the
fair great and magnificent success on
account of this malicious opposition.

MAY-pAY DEMONSTRATIONS.

In accordance with TIE CMTIC's sur
misses there were no noteworthy out
breaks either in America or Europe yes
terday. This fact may be accepted as
indicating the growing wisdom of work
ipgmen. Strikes, especially when
marked by violence, do not advance the
cause of labor and workingmen seem
beginning to realize this truth.
All the same the fact that there is SO
close an accord between laboriug men
the world over is very significant.
Itsshadows forth in vague outlines the
tremendous possibilities which may lie
in the concerted international action of
intelligent worlSingmen.
In many instances, through this quiet
and peaceful course Of action, many
advantages have been gained. In the
various branches of the building trades
compliance has been secured with the
demands for the eight-hour day.
Mainly because of the prevailing en-
thusiasm wisely manifested by the toilers
in factories and other industrial insti-
tutions shorter hours and other privi-
leges have been conceded, and, alto.
gether, the bloodless agitation, which
eliminated on May Day, has not been
without result.
The great danger which menaces
labor in its efforts to assert and to OBJ.
tain its just rights comes from the
Anarchist factionists, whose misleading
theories are apt to have some weight
with even the honest hearted working
man. 1t is the interest, as we'll as the
duty, of the capitalist to do all that may
be done to satisfy the just demands of
the working class.

be forgiven him. For instance, one Of
our new converts lately tackled hymn

On flowery beds of ease---."
And there he stuck. But only for o
moment. With genius born Of new
found ferver he finished
"While others let tn cir prayers arise,
Till corns grow on their knees"
He had the sentiment all right,
though he didn't stick exactly to the

From me Cincinnati Commercial Gasette.
1t Is recognized that the Mississippi
River is national, and that It is the duty
of the National Government to look
after the protection Of its shores aud the
Improvement of It's navigation. The
levees were at the beginning OF the
floods that have been continued so long,
and that seem to be more menacing and
desolating as time goes, in better condi-
ton than ever before and II this season
could have passed without an extraor-
dinary height Of water IL was expected
the embankments would have become
settled and solid.
Those who have believed modifica
ton of the Mississippi Commission
plan desirable, owing to its Impractical
bility without modification, have
usually urged that outlets should be
associated with levees-that. for ex-
ample, the head of the Atchafalaya,
just below Red River, must not be OBJ.
structed, and that there should be pro-
vided safety valve below New
Orleans into Lake Borgne. The idea
behind this proposition is that all the
water can not be retained for securing
purposes, and that provision should be
made for carrying off the superhuity
where the least damage would be done.
This view Of the case seems to be
emphasized by the news Of the day.
The river has, under the pressure of q
gale, made outlets for itself, and they
are mischievous torrents. The duty OF
the Government TO deal liberally with
Mississippi improvements is acknowl
edged A part of it is TO know that the
improvements improve. Congress
should have sent a commission to take
a steamer at Memphis and investigate
during the flood 1t may not be toe
late to do this, but Congress is grea
body that moves slowly.

From me atlanta Journal.
The Washington reporter of the ST.
Louis Republic telegraphs, in reference
to statements that there was scramble
between several prominent Democrats
for the place on the House Committee
on Rules vacated by the death of Mr..
Randall: There Is not an atom of truth
in them. Whoever Mr.. Carlisle sug-
gests to the Speaker will be appointed
to Randall S place on the Committee on
Rules, and this has been the universal
custom from time immemorial in the
House that the leader of the minority
should name his colleague on the Com
mittee on Rules.
Mr.. Carlisle has not yet decided who
he will name to the Speaker, but in all
probability it will be either Mr.. Springer
or Mr.. Holman. He intends to name O
Northern Democrat. Mr.. Mills has no
ambition to serve on the committee and
neither has Mr.. Crisp. The whole talk
about the matter is an invention of the
enemy, and has not a single atom OF

THE cHURcm AND SOCIETY.

A day or two ago marriage took
place in New York. Both parties be.
long TO the Episcopal Church, The
bride had been divorced from a
former husband, who is still living, for
a cause not recognized by the Church
as a valid ground
OF course the parties to the new cere-
mony could not be married in an Epis-
copal Church. They got Baptist
clergyman to bless their union. 1t
was the same minister who officiated at
the marriage of the Duke of Marl-
borough with Mrs Hammersley. This
clergyman evidently does not agree with
the Episcopal Church on the marriage
question.
Apparently, the lady is in accord
with the opinion Of the minister. She,

the KEMMLER RESPITE

Recent infringements of the well.
ascertained rights of the States of the
Union have given cause for very proper
and legitimate alarm. In the Nagle
Gaze the Supreme Court has decided
that the killing of man, though com.
mitted in State, if il is done in defense
of L. S. Judge and by quasi United
States Marshall, is not an offense for the
cognizance of that State, but one
wholly and solely cognizable by the
courts of the United States.
And now comes Judge Wallace, a
Federal judge in New York, and gives
a respite to a murderer convicted in
the ordinary course of law, who has
already exhausted his right of appeal in
the highest courts of the State
Judge Wallace bases his action on
the eighth amendment to the Constitu-
lion of the United States That amend
ment reads; Excessive bail shall not
be required nor excessive fines i'm
posed, nor cruel or unusual punishment
inflicted"
But already the highest tribunal of
the State of New York has passed on
this very question and on this precise
provision Of the Constitution In such
circumstances the interference of Fed
eral judge is extraordinary. The out
come will be watched with interest.
Meanwhile the spectacle is presented to
the country of a murderer directly and
unequiyocally convicted of killing his
wife in an unprovoked and barbarous
way but escaping the just punishment
of his crime for over two years through
the laws delay
