10 see tnat Gnelr JreaSOnaDle cnOfCS can
have no other result than to render the
popular uprising against them irresist-
ible and wellnigh universal.
The most noteworthy of the modifica-
tions proposed are those of Senator
Teller and Senator Stewart. The for
mer seeks to provide for the exercise,
by officers of elections, of ministerial
powers only, as distinguished from
judicial, while the latter proposes that
Congressional votings under the new
statute should take place on day diff
ferent from that upon which State and
local officials are voted for. The former
amendment, if adopted, might have
some tendency toward curbing the ex-
ercise of arbitrary power by subordi-
mates, and the latter would prevent the
degradation of local elections by cen
trail despotism. The bayonet would
still be over every ballot for Congress-
man, but its baneful cleaning would
not affront the eyes of voters for mem
bers of State Legislatures or officers of
commonwealth, municipalities or town
ships.
No modification has been proposed,
nor can any be offered, that will render
the bill tolerable to liberty loving minds
The fraud and force election bill,
whether modified by the silver Sena-
tors, with the bayonets hooded by Hoar,
or with them unvailed by Quay, is rad
ically and essentially vicious and trea-
sonous. Under any circumstances it
would be the duty of members of Con-
gress to fight such a proposition to the
bitter end.
The general duty of faithful Senators
is emphasized and enforced by the
| special circumstances of the time. The
| people Of the United States have passed
upon the issue of the fraud and force
election bill, and by an unprecedented
majority they have ordered Congress
not to enact any such measure. Every
vote for the bill, and every failure to
oppose it by any available means, is
i disobedienee of the supreme order OF
the sovereign American people. 1t is
especially the duty of Democratic Sen
ators to leave nothing undone that hon
est men can do; to omit no. honorable
device to prevent calamitous reversal Of
the peoples vote.
Were opposition hopeless, relaxation
on the part of the opponent might be
excused. But opposition is not hope
less. Thelife of the present Congress
ends with the third day Of March. I'm
less the revolution in the suffrage b
accomplished before that time, it cal
never be effected, and the safety O
home-rule elections will be forevermor'
assured. 1t is therefore incumbent or
the Democratic Senators to obstruct tn
progress of the fraud and force election
bill by every means permitted by par
! (liamentalyilaw. The rules of the Sen
ate have not been altered. Gag Law
does not prevail, and the privileges o
a free deliberative body must be exert
ed to the utmost to prevent revolution

THE OBSTINATE CAMEL.

An Americana First Experience with the
LAUNDERING Animal.
If any other animal gives out it is still
possible to make it travel few miles
by judicious use of patience and
club; but not SO with a camel. When
he lies down he will get up only when
he feels like doing SO; you may drag at
the string which Is fastened to the stick
through his nostrils till you tear it out,
he will only groan and spit. 1t was my
first experience with camels, and /
vowed that it would be my last; for,
taking them altogether, they ave the
most tiresome and troublesome animals
I have ever seen, ard are suited only to
Asiatics, the most patient and long-suf-
fering Of human beings.
Besides their infirmities of temper,
resulting, / believe, from hereditary
dyspepsia, as evidenced by such coated
tongues, offensive breaths, and gurgling
stomachs as have seen with no other
ruminants, they are delicate in the ex.
IRENE. They can work only in the win.
ter months, for as soon as their wool
begins to fall, Sampson like, their
strength abandons them.
They can travel only over country
where there are no stones, for the pads
of their feet wear out and then they
have to be patched, a most troublesome
operation. The camel is thrown and a
piece of leather stitched on over the
foot, the stitches being taken through
the soft part of it; in fIfis condition it

Lecky on Ireland.

Lecky, the historian, writes in the
same magazine about ireland in tho
light of History" The article is prin-
ciply remarkable for ignoring the land
question as a cause of trouble. Mr.. Lecky
thinks the disturbed state Of that coun-
try is primarily due to the fact that the
conquest of Ireland under Elizabeth
took place just after the reformation.
He says that the result of this was that
the conquerors became Professionals, and
the conquered remained Roman Catho-
lies, but that, nevertheless, all breaches
might have been healed by Union Of
the countries about 1900. He dpes not
explain how this could have recOncile6
the religious differences.
The land question shows itself, new
ertheless, in such incidental phrases as
the following: "When population
pressed closely ON subsistence the sys
tenn of middlemen produced fierce
competition, which raised rent in the
lower grades to an enormous height"
1t would be more consistent were the
disturbances attributed to the owner.
ship Of the land by Professionals whose
tenants are Roman Catholics.
ACoUNTRY CLUB.-The handsome new
home of the Union County Country Club
| was opened to visitors on the last day
of the old year, and it is described as
one of the most attractive buildings OF
the kind in that portion of New Jersey
lying adjacent to New York. Its casino
is one of the prettiest play-houses mag
| Unable, and there are, in addition,
billiard-rooms, bowling alleys, tennis
courts and fine library, all furnished
in the most artistic and luxurious style.
One might suppose from all this that
the farmers of New Jersey are amaz-
ingly prosperous, but those who read
the description to the end found tackled
to it a modest announcement that most
of the members of the club are New
York business men. When real country
men can enjoy the privileges of country
clubs, even approximating this in con-
venience and elegance, there will be
less complaint of the disposition Of
farmers sons to come to the cities and
try to be business men.

THEY NAY BE ALIVE.

May BE Rescued.

May BE Rescued.
WILKEsBAnEE, Pa, Feb 6--It is learned
that there are four persons, not three, i'm.
prisoned in the Susquehanna Coal compa.
ny's mine at West NanticolSe. In addition
TO the three men-Rineer, Cragle and
Schelling- is a boy driver named Da.
vid Hunter. The belief is growing strong
er that they may still be alive
Old miners who have worked in the col
liery say that at the height to which the
water rose ia the slope il would not come
within twenty OF thirty yards Of the cross
heading in which the men may have taken
refuge To reach the cross heading when
the Hood came pouring along the ganV1vay
they would have had to traverse a distance
of about $50 yards from where il Is believed
they were at work.
There is no question that they would
have had time TO do this If they acted
promptly. Cragle had worked in the mine
several years and was doubtless familiar
with the workings. If in the excitement

ence of mind it is confidently believed that

hcient quantities to suff0cate them, and il
they can be reached before death from
starvation comes they may be taken out
alive. The companys officials are doing
all IN their power to get the water out OF
the mine. AS the old pump Is under water
they have rugged up two others, both OF
considerable power, and they are hard at
work. Laborers are also placing larger
pump in position. After this is put in mo.
tion it is believed that within thirty-six
hours the place where it is hoped the men
are will be reached.
