WAsuNGroN, August 10.-SentorS
Hoar, SpOoner and other friends of the
force bill, have tried TO work very
sharp game ON Senator Quay. They
realized that il Quay's resolution came
up to-day il would be adopted and that
it was all impartant with them to pro-
cure delay. Hoar went to Quay and
pleading that he wanted to make a
speech aud was not ready, obtained a
delay of one day, Quay conSentng to let
his resolution go over until to-
morrow. Hoar begged for more
time, but Quay drew the line
at one day. As soon rs he obtained this
concession HOar reported TO his fellow
conSpirat0rS i'm behalf of the Force bill
and they decided TO demand caucus as
q means of poStponing defeat of the
Force bill. They prepared a written
document requesting caucus for to-
night, and after obtaining a few sigma
tures, gave ont that caucus
would be called, but their
scheme failed, so few Senators
signed the petition that no caucus was
called tonight, and Senator Quay said
he would call up his resolution to-mor-
row, that he felt confident of passing it,.
Senator Quay says he has not yielded an
inch and that he will win the fight. He
said tonight that the Democrats would
vote for his resolution but they will de-
maud an amendment extending the
time for q final vote.

policy is characteristic of the Demo-
cratic party. It's pre-eminently rule
or-ruin party. When it cannot have its
own way it will prevent the people from
having theirs. The Republican majority,
small though it be, is an honest majori-
ty. 1t represents the will of the people.
1t was elected in the expectation that it
would shape and control the legislation
of the country. Among other things,
it proposes to revise the tariff and re-
duce the revenue. The Democratic
party processes to favor such policy.
1t processes to favor tariff reform, and
10 desire reduction of taxes. Yet, with
the full knowledge that the Republicans
propose important action in this regard,
they deliberately decide to prevent it. if
possible. They do not want any re-
vision of the tariff or reduction of the
revenue badly enough to let the Repub-
licans do it. If they cannot do it them
selves they will not allow it to be done
at all. Rather than let the Republican
majority, elected by the people for that
purpose, accomplish any useful legisla-
tiOn, they will exhaust the session, or as
much of it as possible, in dead-lOcks and
tilibustering. This is the Democratic
idea of statesmanship and of smart poll
tics. We think they mistake the temper
and intelligence of the American people
if they imagine that sort of political bar
barism will meet with popular approval.
The people want the majority to rule.
They are expecting important legisla-
tion from the Fifty-frst Congress, and
if the Democratic obstructionists at
tempt to prevent it for partisan pur-
poses they will be held to account for
their action.

THE ABERDEEN INCIDENT.

The discussion in the Senate relative
to the hanging of Secretary Proctor in
effigy, at Aberdeen, Miss, because he
did not lower the flag of the War De-
partment when jefferson Davis died,
took wide range. 1t will be remem-
bered that at the time of the effigy-
hanging business Henry T. Faunce, q
young man from this State, was beaten
and driven out of Aberdeen because he
cut the rope by which the figure was
suspended. A notable feature of the de-
bate was that Senators Walthall and
George, of Mississippi, did not deny the
facts. On the contrary, they admitted
the occurrence, and denounced it as dis
graceful in the extreme to the persons
engaged in it. At the same time they
denied the right of the Senate to inves-
tigate the matter, drawing around it the
awful circle of State sovereignty. The
country has become SO accustomed
to having this perniciOus dogma cited
as shield for all sorts of deviltry and
crime that it will hardly be sur
prised at anything in that line, but it
seems a little queer that State sover-
eighty can prevent the government from
even instituting an inquiry concerning
flagrant insult to member of the
Cabinet, and still more fragrant out
rage on private citizen of another
State. When the facts were first pub
lished Northern Democratic papers, with
more zeal than wisdom, Indignantly de-
MED the whole business. Their eager
ness to defend Southern lawlessness led
them too far. The Mississippi Senators
made no attempt to deny the facts. In
cidentally they justified resort by the
whites to any and all measures to main
tain white supremacy in the South. So
long as this continues to be the position
of Southern Democrats those of the
North should adopt the same line of ar
gument. The head and tail of the party
should hang together.

The Indiana Gerrymander.

winchester herdId
The right of every man to vote and have
his vote count one: the right of every man
to stand equal at the ballot-box. with every
other man beneath the lag-these are the
ed-rock upon which we are founded. The
Democratic party never had any respect for
this doctrine. They once held the negro to
be property, they never have come to re-
gard him as citizen. By bulldozing and
murder. they cause one vote in the South to
equal six or eight in the North; and by
fraud, cunning and deceit, they aim TO
make one Democratic vote in Indiana
equal to one Republican vote and a quar-
ter. This is the main outrage
which will come up in our next State cam
paign, and it behooyes every citizen to
think carefully about il. The negro
traders of the South seem far from us. but
this attempt TO bulldoze Republicans
out of their power comes right home to
every man in Indiana; comes right into tho
home of every Republican in Randolph
county. and tells him that. In the admins
tration of the legislative affairs of this
State, his vote shall only count one-half as
much as that of a citizen in another county.
Will he stand it? Let every lover of his
country see TO it that his neighbor Is
thoroughly aroused on this vital question.

foot such outrageous Democratic methods.

ADOG.IN.THE-MANaIR POLICY.

The Democratic plan of campaign in
the House is now fully developed and
determined by caucus action. 1t is a
policy of obstruction, pure and simple.
They will oppose everything the Repub-
hcans attempt to do, and fight the ground
inch by inch, resorting to filiSustering,
dead-locks and other approved tactics
of revolutionary minOrities. They will
make their first fight against the adop-
ton of rules, then on the contested elec-
ton cases. and finally on the tariff bill.
The fact that they have decided to make
q stand on each of these lines shows
they expect to be defeated, but they
propose to consume as much time as
possible and delay action as long as they
can. AS the Republicans have an undis-
puted majority, the Democrats cannot
hope to prevent them from ultimately
having their way, as it is right the ma
jority should. But they will waste as
much time and money as possible in
fruitless attempts to prevent the major
ity from ruling. This dog-in-the manager

would be the sole beneficiaries of its
success. In any event it would only be
substituting one class of 'robber
barons" for another, the main difference
being that whereas the alleged robbers
under protection are Americans, those
under the other system would be for
eigners or their representatives, and the
profits which now go into American
channels would then find their way
abroad. If it is question of paying
tribute, patriotic Americans should pre-
fer to pay to their own countrymer
rather than to foreigners.

The secession of large body of ener-

to the ordinary observer the movement will

disintegration. 1t is true that "in union

tendency of reform to run into hard and

with partisanship has fatal defects; so also

THE DUTY OF REPUBLICAN coNaREssMEp

The proceedings of the caucus of the
Republican members of the House, on
Monday night, indicate unanimity of
sentiment and positiveness of purpose
which are highly encouraging. They
are evidently impressed with the respon
siblllty which rests upon them and the
gravity of the situation. AS fore
shadOwed, the Republicans propose TO
take up the contested election cases at
once, and, as far as possible, dispose of
them before proceeding to other busi
ness. This seems the proper thing to
do, since to 60 on and legislate when
the votes of ten or dozen men, holding
seats which do not belong to them, may
be able either to defeat important
measures, or to prevent action by de-
feating quorum, is permitting out
siders to assume the functions of the
House of Representatives, and, prac-
tically, to revolutiOnize that body. To
ascertain the membership of a legisla-
tive body is its highest constitutional
prerogative, and, consequently, its first
duty. This is so regarded, and was
given as a reason by Mr.. Randall, when
Speaker, for refusing to entertain dila-
tory motions pending vote on con-
tested-electiOn case.
The controversy over the contested
election cases imposes positive duty
upon the Republican members. To avoid
all complications Republican majority
must be present in the Capitol when
these questions are under consideration.
The Republicans have but bare
quorum, but they have it when every
Republican member is present. They
had quorum on Monday, and one over,
with four members absent-three sick
and one whose cause of absence was not
known. No private business should pre-
vent Republicans from being in their
seats while these disputed election cases
are pending, and only severe illness
should prevent the attendance of a Re-
publican member. The names of absen-
tees, whose whereabouts is not known,
should be published that their constitu-
ents who elected them may know that
the men who contracted to serve them
are not keeping their agreement. OF
course. time will be given for full dis
cussiOn of the merits Of every case, but
when that has been done the Republic
ans must be present to act as one man
upon the merits of the case and to
sustain Speaker Reed in crushing out
filibustering or revolutionary tactics. >.
Much depends upon the faithfulness
of Republican Representatives at the
presenttime. In their hands, to greater
extent than for years, are the best in.
terests OF the country and the welfare
of the Republican party. Let them be
in their seats and carry out the policy
unanimously outlined in the caucus o,
Monday night. ~

THE free-trade theory of industrial
science contemplates the confinement of
each nation to a single pursuit. The
beauty of this is now shown in the West,
where bountiful crops have reduced the
prices of cereals to production cost. If
the corn States had diversified indus
tries and could consume the bulk of
their product at home, corn would not
be burned for fuel.
