TINE TO STOP AND THINK.

That the Force bill is a living
issue and its passage one OF the
chief aims of the Republican par
ty, the current political events
leave indisputable eviden"e. An
analysis of the scope and intent of
this measure is given very clearly
by Speaker Crisp, in a letter to
his constituents. Without enum-
Grazing all its rem mkable provis,
ions, he says:
1t gives to the Judges of the United
States Circuit Courts the power OF ap-
pointing election officers of the States,
1t gives to the election officers SO appoint
ed the power to designate an unlimited
number of Deputy Marshals, who may be
employed for Il number of days prior to
each election, at s. per day. 1t author
ICES the use of the armies of the United
States TO preserve the peace at the polls.
1t gives to Judges of the United States
Courts the power of appointing Il can
vassing or returning board for each State,
who shall certify whom the people have
elected to Congress. 1t requires tho
Clerk of the House to place on the roll of
members.elec the names Of the pclso Is
holding such certificates, 50 that they
may participate in the organization of the
House. 1t authorizes officers of the Uni
tel States to supervise and control the
registration of voters, such officers to
make "A house TO house canvass to ascer-
tain the legality OF any registered voter.
1t provides for the payment of all these
officers ont OF the Federal Treasury, and
authorizes the employment of many of
them for rs much as eight days before
an election. And finally it makes perma-
nent appropriation of your money for the
execution of the law.
Thus, if enacted into law, the
people would lose all voice in the
selection of officers who manage
and certify the result of their elec.
tons, These Federal Judges, who
make these appointments, hold of.
flee for life, are all, except two,
Republican in politics, and are not
responsible TO the people, neither
are their appointees, should a
trust be abused. The intent Of the
Constitution is that officers of the
people should be responsible to
the people, and thus the power of
impeachment is lodged in the peo-
pies representatives in Congress.
But this law removes that response
bilily by permitting the appointee
Of the Judge TO determine who is
a duly elected representative. One
partisan appoint-e is responsible
to a partisan authority to execute a
partisan trust-a mockery Of re.
sponsibility.
How can any man who cares for
American institutions, and who
appreciates the policy and inten.
tons Of the Republican party,
cast a vote which can be counted
in favor of The Force bill? 1t is
time that those Southern white
men who are inclined to stray off
into the Third party, should fully
weigh these facts and understand
that every vote for Weaver or
any other mongrel candidate is
virtually a vote for Harrison, the
confirmed champion of this iniqu.
itous, paternal measure.

gravated by the presence of the moon
on the Doth. A cold wave sufficiently
vigorous to make careless people re-

Burglars raid Business Places Gen.
orally.


A Wholesale robbery was committed
at Fredericksburg, Va, Monday night,
several business places being burglar
lied and horse stolen. The biggest
hand made by thieves was at the post
office, where they secured about 5000 in
money and a number Of registered let
tiers. At the express Office and the
Potomac, Fredericksburg and Pied
mont Railroad depot they were unable
TO open the safe. At Estes grocery
store the cash drawer, with all Of its
contents, was taken, which fortunately
was not much. The tools with which
the work was done were taken from
Bolts engine-house and Landrums 4
Morrison's spoke factory. No clue to
the identity Of the thieves has as yet
been found, although two suspicious
characters, who were seen in the city
yesterday, are suspected, and officers
are on their track.
