The Southern Athletic Club Battalion on
Duty and n Conflict Before Night by no

tion Severely Criticised.
fpY LEASED WIRE TO THE SEws.l


NEW ORLEANS. April 19-Some excite
ment was caused here last evening by
the ordering out of the Southern Athletic
Club battalion Of the State militia by the
Governor for duty at to-day's election.
The Governor. 1t is said, was opposed to
the step, but yielded to the entreaties OF
the leader OF the Foster
Farmers Alliance faction.
AS there was no expectation of trouble
in the city, the Governors action is SO
verely criticised by the Fitzpatrick-McE
cry faction. Tho leaders Of the athletic
club battalion are said to be Shakespeare
Foster-F Farmers Alliance in sentiment.
IL conflict snould occur 1t would
doubtless lead to deplorable results. This
section is calculated to frighten the Ne
groes away from the polls.
The supporters or Leonard claim that
the Foster people, who have control Of the
election machinery, intend to count them
out. To prepare against such contin-
gency they have arranged to have every
voter who casts his ballot make an afi-
davit of what it was, and IL the reality
after the vote is counted Is different from
what the affidavits show they will begin
a contest and carry the matter before
Congress
The Republicans are certain to hold the
balance of power between the two Demo
cratic factions in the next Legislature.

HILLS MEAN POLICY.
Political Larcrny and Tyranny Are Its
Ou~tcr0puiuCs 1

Political Larceny and Tyranny Are ItS
OutcroppinEs.
The course of the democrats in the
New York senate is particularly in
teresting and significant They ara
acting upon the advice and under the
practical direction of Senator Hill and
the policy that they have adopted goes
TO show that they propose to supple
ment political larceny with political
tyranny of an absolute kind. The re-
publican members who refused to vote
upon the enumeration bill for the pur-
pose of breaking a quorum-thus dupli-
eating the democratic plan in the last
congress-were declared to be in con-
tempt, and were excluded from further
participation in the proceedings. Since
then a resolution of censure has been
adopted and an order made ~suspending
the offenders for one day. In all the
history Of Legislative bodies in this
country, NO justification a be found
for such a method Of dealing with such
q question. The lon-voting senators
could have been counted in order to Sc
cure q quorum, according to the prac-
tice introduced by Mr.. Reed when he
was speaker of the house. but the
democrats were not content with that
comparatively mild and harmless ex-
pedient. They preferred to exercise
their power in an offensive and vim
dictivc spirit.
This exhibition of partisan spite and
meanness is in perfect keeping with
the policy that Hill has always pur-
sued in his manipulations of New York
politics. lie has no sense of propriety,
and no regard for rules of right and
Justice. There is nothing too unscrup-
ulous for him to do in the promotion OF
democratic interests and purposes. and
his example has had such 4 demoraliz-
ing effect upon the politicians who are
under his leadership that they stand
ready to carry nj any scheme OF dis
honesty and indecency that he may
suggest. This is the man who is at
present one of the foremost figures in
the democratic party, with at least as
good chances of securing its nomina-
ton for the presidency as any other
man who has been mentioned. He de.
vised and executed the despicable plot
by which the New York legislature
was made democratic when the people
had voted that it should be republican;
and he is debating all that is done by
that body. His power is supreme with
the stolen majority which makes it
possible to perpctrate such wrongs as
the n in question. and he does not
hesitate to use it in the most arbitrary
and scandalous manner. He is re-
sponsible for this new and obnoxious
application of parliamentary author
ity, and he has not yet done his worst,
there is reason to believe. The people
of the country should keep their eyes
upon him and those who are inforcing
his instructions. lie is a national
character. a potent force in his party,
and his operations are accordingly
worth watching st Louis Globe.

NO HOUSE RULES.

Dem ocrats Well Sustaining Their Do.
Nothing Record.
1t will be remembered what . howl
the democrats made two years ago be-
AUS the republican house did not
adopt rules at once, or. at least, much
sooner than it did. Denunciations Of
the most savage kind were heaped
upon Speaker Reeds head and he was
charged with a desire to run things at
his own sweet. will without any rules
TO hinder. The republicans at that
time We're instituting a new depar-
ture and necessarily had to proceed
slowly in the forming of their new
code. When it was done it proved to
be well done. for it dispatched the
transaction of business and wiped out
many of the abuses of years. No rules
were eve made that SO expedited the
work of the house.
What is the state of affairs at the
present time? Two months of the ses-
sion have passed away and the third
is well started. and still the democratic
house has not settled its code of prac-
tice. What good reason is there for
this delay? None whatever. The
house is not trou bled with a small ma
jority. All it had to do was to fall
right back upon the old democratic
code Of the Fiftieth congress-, which
the democracy has lauded SO long and
loud as the pink of parliamentary per-
lection. As democracy we ad-
vances, but hangs like \ leech to tradi-
tions Of the past. the old code would
have suited them as well as any they
