The Author of the Force Bill.

An investigation Of alleged fraudulent
naturalization IN New York city last
October is being made by the Senate COM
mittee on immigration. The principal witt
ness for the government Is John l. Daven-
port, who has made himself notorious as
supervisor OF elections in New York. He Is
also United States commissioner. Last
Thursday he was before the committee, and
was closely questioned by Senator Hill.
The senator asked him II he wss not she
author of the force bill He said he was
He drafted the bill and approved it In she
shape IL was whom IL passed the House
during the Flfty-frst congress. He said,
further, that he intended 60 renew his efforts
at an early day to havs force bill passed
1t has been known for a long time that
Davenport is the man who was the chief
mover in the force bill matter. but it was
not known until he announced the fact that
he intends to renew ais efforts in the direc-
| ton OF legislation Of that sort. If 1t had
not been for him there would not have been
a force bill, in all probability.
This man Davenport possesses much more
than ordinary ability. He is the btterest
sort Of a republican partisan and has the
reputation of being INSCRIPTIONS In accom-
plishing his political purposes. For years
he has made handsome income by pro-
Tossing to detect fraudulent election prac-
tices In the city of New York. In answer
to question asked by Senator Hill during
the investigation on Thursday he admitted
that he had received $125, 900
in fees from the government
in the last ten years, and that
he now has claims against the government
amounting to $4,000. Besides what he has
received from the government considerable
sums have been given him by New York
republicans to aid him in performing the
duties of his Office, the belief being
that he would use the money to
advance the interests of the Repub-
lican party. According TO a state
ment he made in answer TO questions
asked by Senator Hill Davenport utilities
his power as chief supervisor of elections to
make cases which are brought before him as
United States commissioner for a hearing.
This is the man who succeeded in getting
the Republican party to commit itself to the
force bill. Is it not remarkable that great
political organization should permit itself to
be led by such man? That it listens to
him and accepts him as a guide is the best
kind of evidence that its aims and pur-
poses are greatly below what they once
were

crowd of officials sat around the court
house at Americas the other day, says the

the turtle that was rained down in Leslie on

An Encouraging Outlook.

From the Charleston NetUs and Courier (Dem)
The outlook is full of encouragement to the
democracy The nomination of President will
not be controlled this year by political tricksters
and traders, bnt Dy the people. The nomins-
ton of Mr.. Cleveland is as certain as anything
can be in the political world, and without his
nomination the party is doomed to defeat
Even the enemies that he has made" recog-
nize this fact, and when the convention as
sembles we should not be surprised il he should
be chosen as the leader OF the party by accla-
nation. There is no democrat who excite one
half the enthusiasm; there is mono other who
possesses In so large degree tbs confidence of
the country. and represents in his own person
and character the principles of sound democ-
racy. AS Senator Vest. the great free silver
advocate from Missouri said some time ago:
1T is Cleveland and Boiss, or Cleveland and
Gray, but always Cleveland"

Blaine Approved the Programme.
There is no reason to doubt that Mr..
Blaine's friends in the Minneapolis conven-
ton did just exactly as he expected them to
do. He was in constant communication
with them, receiving as many as 800 dis
patches the day before the ballotlng began
If he had not desired that his name should
be presented TO the convention it would not
have been. His friends would not have
acted contrary TO his wishes.
Hedoubtless knew the day the convention
met to take ballot that he could not get
the nomination, but he was so determined
to defeat Gen. Harrison that he was willing
to permit his name to be used with the hope
that the Harrison column could be broken,
and Gov. Mckinley or some one of the other
clark horses" nominated.
HIS feeling against the President must be
very bitter or he would never have gone to
the length he did to defeat him. He may
try to hide his disappointment by urging
harmony in the party and by advising that
Gen. Harrison be given loyal support, but
it will be strange If his hostility to the
President does not crop out during the cam
paign. II is not probable that either he or
his close friends will take an active part in
the campaign. Unless the situation is mis-
understood they would not be grieved II
Gen. Harrison should be defeated

An investigation mot official. however,
has shown that the flood which did SO much
damage in OIL City and Titusville, Pa, last
week was not due to cloud burst, but to
the breaking OF o dam across Oil creek,
above Tttusvllie. The great Johnstown dis.
aster, 1t will be remembered, was also
caused by the breaking of q dam. And in
each instance the pond above the dam was
used for the purpose Of oultlvating fish.
Nets were stretched across Oil creek to pre-
vent the escape of bass. These nets caught
logs, trash and driftwood, which, being
forced against the dam. broke it. II this
explanation Of the cause of the disaster is
the true one. it would seem to call for the
abolition of fish ponds in the thickly settled
Pennsylvania valleys, or the appointment
of an inspector of dams, to see that they are
provided with proper waste wiers and are
sufficiently strong to resist any probable
pressure Of water.

Platt and QUAY.

The Minneapolis convention settled
several things. One OF them is that a num-
Der Of conspicuous republican leaders who
were regarded as party bosses are bosses no
longer. Especially in this true with respect
to Mr.. Platt, Of New York, and Mr.. Quay,
of Pennsylvania. These two men have con-
trolled the party machine in their respective
states for long time. They regarded them
selves Of so much Importance that when the
President declined to make some appoint
ments which they insisted upon they decided
they would not permit him to have a renomi-
nation. They overeshmated their power.
And neither Mr.. Platt nor Mr.. Quay
proved himself to be much Of a prophet at
Minneapolis. Almost up to the time when
the convention began balloting they insisted
that Gen. Harrison did not have and could
not get a majority of the delegates. They
either did not know the actual situation or
they played big game Of bluff.
MIR. Platt will not find his Minneapolis
dispatches in New York paper to which
his name is signed pleasant reading. They
don't present Mr.. Platt in a very
enviable light. The text of them
is calculated to lead one to be-
lieve that he wrote them with the hope Of
helping the side he was on and not for the
purpose of furnishing the public
with reliable information. Those who
have heretofore placed implicit confidence
in his political sagacity will do so no more.
Those who risked their money on the assur-
ance he gave that Gen. Harrison had no
chance for denomination have no further
use for him as political prophet.
Mr.. Plat, Mr.. Quay and some of the
other bosses will have TO take back seats.
Gen. Harrison may use them during the
campaign, but II he happens to be elected
he will make them understand he is under
no obligations to them. He
would overlook their opposition
TO his denomination. probably,
IL they had opposed him because they
thought he was not the strongest man that
could be nominated, but as they openly
avowed they opposed him because they
hated him he will deal with them as ene~
mics.
And there will be few republicans who
will regret the retirement from active
politics of Mr.. Quay and Mr.. Plat. They
have done nothing TO elevate politics and
much 20 degrade 1t. They will become back
numbers if the President can make them
suoh.

Eight Hundred Sermons to the Barrel

an excellent opportunity to study one phase
of American politics. the lesson it taught
being: "Lie prodigiously. and stick to it."

The Coming Cotton Crop.

Speculation as to the number of bales of
the next cotton crop has been begun and
from now until the crop Is gathered well
posted cotton men" will como to the front
with crop estimates.
As rule these estimates are based upon
very little information. Very often they
are mere guesses. They interest those
who are directly or indirectly connected
with the cotton business, however. and. to
some extent doubtless, they influence the
price Of cotton.
The very general opinion Is that the grow
ing crop will be the smallest in several
years. This opinion is not based upon the
belief that the season will be unfavorable,
but upon information that the acreage is
much less than it was last year and that
the cotton planters purchased a
much smaller amount of commercial fer
tilizers for this crop.
1t is pretty safe to say. therefore, that the
crop this year will be smaller than that of
last year, but whether or not it will be a
great deal smaller will depend largely upon
the weather and some other things. If the
weather should be extremely favorable and
the plant should not be injured by rust or
worms the yield may not fall much below
that of last year, but if the average condi-
tions prevail the probabilities are that the
reduction in the yield will be sufficient to
cause very marked increase in the price

Early to deny the story. published by the
National Tribune, Of Washington. that he
had said that sat Antietam Stonewall
jackson ran disgracefully, and he never did
very much better on any other occasion. y
Nobody believed that Gen. Early said it,
and nobody would have believed it if he had
said it. But Gen. Early denies that he ever
made use of any such language, and adds:
II had the honor Of serving under Gen.
