RECALLING WAR SERVICE,
An Enort 10 Secure to Admiral Jouett the
Full Pay OF His Grade


WARRINGTON. June 23.-Mr. Herbert's COM
mttec has reported. with favorable recon-
mendation. the bill passed by the Senate for
giving to an old retired naval officer. Rear Ad-
miral James E. Joustt. the full pay Of his
grade instead of tho retired pay. to which
alone he Is now entitled. II this bill should be
passed 1t would put that officer on tho footing
OF e-Admral Nowan and Renr.Admiral
Worden. who also received this exceptional
privilege from Congress.
The grounds urged in the present instance
are that Board Of Admirals recommended
Jouett moro than quarter u n century ago
Tor an advancement OF thirty numbers as q re-
ward OF gallant conduct. and that this promo
ton was never made: and. further. that his
war services merit tho favor now asked. The
documents fled to support this view recall
some interesting events Of thirty years ngo

There Is one question depending on the
election OF tho next President which In
It's momentous Importance and vital
imperntivencss must seem to every
philosophic observer to exceed every
other political question that tho peo-
ple arc now called upon to determine.
All differences OF opinion respecting admin
istrative reform. or silver coinage. or FREQ
trade or protection. or the personal qualities
or antecedents OF candidates. in short. the
whole ordinary array OF electoral contro-
versics. arc. in comparison. OF inferior. in
deed OF almost trivial moment.
We mean the question whether those
Southern States which have inherited
negro population SURPRISING the number Of
their white citizens, shall. by Federal law
and Federal military force. be subjected to
tho political domination OF the negroes. to
negro Legislatures. negro Governors. and
negro Judges In their courts. or whether
they shall continue to DO governed by white
mon Us now.
Now. 1t makes no difference who may be
the President whom tho Republican party
elects-since Mr.. BLAINE Is now perma-
ncntly out OF the line Of power-that party
Is by Its nature and traditions under tho
necessity Of enacting and executing IN
election law whose purpose and effect will
DO to put tho negroes In control OF several
OF tho Southern States. There will be some
unwilllngness on tho part Of patriotic
minority among the Republicans who will
revolt at the consequences OF such
measure. but their opposition cannot avail.
The necessity Of the situation will suppress
oil such resistance. A Force bill Is the first.
and the inevitable result OF a sweeping Re-
publican victory in November.
On the other hand. and by the nature and
necessity Of tho ideas involved. tho success
Of the Democracy Is death to the Force bill
project. Killed In this election, 1t can never
be revived.
In this view Of the contest what conscien-
tious Democrat can hesitate about his
duty? Better vote for the liberty and the
white government Of the Southern States,
