WHY Capital Hesitates.

NEW YoEk. February 26.-Ihe Posi-
says: The facility with which every
kind OF antagonism Of capital finds It's
expression in the Western State legisla-
lures is one Of the aspects OF the rail.
road situation in the United States
which Just at present is making foreign
capital hesitate about more investments
here. The most recent instances oil
this antagoniSm are evidently cX
pressions Of the IDEAS Of the
Farmers Alliance and Of the
Knights of Labor for conliscating the
railroads in their States by taking con.
troll out OF the hands OF the railroad
companies. The most discouragina
feature of the whole question OF hostile
legislation is that displays such ignor
ance of the real foundation OF th'
growth and prosperity Of the west. 10
Just whatever extent capital is lesisla
ted out Of these States poverty aud bri
gandage is legalized.

Has Been Bracing Up the Elections
Committee on The Matter.

Special Telegram 10 ne Register.
WAsHINGToN, February 26-Th,
House Republicans have now quorum
OF their own men here and will for tn,
remaining days OF the session be in q
position to do pretty much as they
please. IL is now their intention to
take up the contested election cases oi
McGinnis against Anderson, OF West
Virginia, and OF Goodrich against
Bullock, Of Florida, on Monday, and
unseat the sitting Democratic member:
in short order, giving the Republican
contestants their places and $4,000 sal
ary attached. 1t is believed 10 be the
plan Of the Republicans to allow but q
| few minutes for debate in each case.
Then vote will be forced, the Demo
Gratis will be turned out OF their seats
and the Republicans put in. As before
indicated in these dispatches, the pres
sure of other and more important work,
such as the passage OF the apprOpria
ton bills, may interfere with this pro-
gramme, but the probability seems to be
that il will be carried through de-
spite everything. The Republican
majority in the House is thoroughly
reckless of decency and public opinion,
and means TO grab all il can in the few
remaining days Of its power.
Representative Anderson is not ut all
disturbed by the prospect of being un-
seated. He feels that his case is strong
and complete, and if the Republicans
are shameless enough to disregard the
great mass OF evidence he has collected
proving conclusively his right TO his
seat, the intelligent voters OF the coun-
try will at the next election be even
more emphatic in their rebuke to the
offenders than they We're at the last
election.
General Gofi, who came here yester
day from New York. was at the Capitol
to-day and saw the Republican members
of the Elections Committee about the
McGinniS Anderson case. Gon is un-
derStood to be very anxious that McGin-
mis- should get the $4,000 salary, and is
supposed to have done what he could TO
brace the Republicans up TO disregard
ing the evidence and turning Anderson
out.
There is still another contested case
which the Elections Committee has not
yet reported on. This is the Tennessee
case OF Eaton, Republican, against
Pbcan, Democrat. Mr.. Phelan died |
some weeks ago and the Republicans |
now want 10 give his seat to Eaton, so |
the committee will tomorrow hold a

ANNA DICKINsoN's ILLNESS.

Has Becomc Insane.

WIKEsBAREE, PA, February 2G.
The rumOr that Anna DickinSou's mind
had become deranged and that friends
had found it necessary to remove her To
the Danyille Insane Asylum, created
quite "A sensation here this afternoon.
The gifted lady has resided for years
with her sister, Susie Dickinson, in a
little village west OF PittSton. For Some
time past her health has been in a pre-
cariouS condition, and she has been con-
Stantly under the eyes Of her physician,
who treated her for insomnia. This dis
ease has been undermining her Ni-
tality for some time. aud although
she has been carefully nursed by her
devoted sister no improvement was per
ceptible a consultation OF physic-
lans was held yesterday and il was de-
cided that change Of scene and absO-
lutte quiet would furnish the only hope
for her complete recovery. According
ly she was removed quietly from her
home this afternoon, but where she has
been taken j. mystery that her friends
decline to unravel. They emphatically
deny. however that she has been taken
to an insane asylum or that her mind Is
unbalanced. 1t is generally believed
that the attack is only temporary and
that In short time she will have COM
pletely recovered.

WHY The Minority Object.

WAsuINGTON, February 26.-The mi
nority members of the Committee Oh
Judiciary have prepared two vigorous
reports in opposition to the Houk reso-
luton which was ordered favOrably re-
ported to the House directing the Judi
clary Committee To inquire into and re-
port to the House whether or not any
State has, by any constitutional or
statutory provision, violated the second
section Of the fourteenth amendment to
the constitution, 50 that proper APP
porti0nment of representation may be
made by Congress. The minority re-
port says that the States are not con-
.titutoually prohibited from diSfran-
chisng any Of their male citizens.
There are no means by which the
committee can ascertain the number
of disfranchsed, for Congress has never
provided the means by which this may
be done Legal proofs must be held to
a reasonable certainty, and until such
legislation is enacted it is utterly futile
to adopt such resolution. for IL can
not be complied with. But" the re-
port concludes. - cardinal principle in
our system OF government is that the
States shall each prescribe the qualiii-
cations Of its electors"
