Down With pavenportisrn.

Hasn't the country had enough of
/ the Davenport methods Of interfering with
voters at federal electionsl In New York
on election day about 200 persons we're ar
rested for alleged violations of election laws
and taken before United States commits
sioners hy tough looking citizens who bad
/ been appointed United States deputy mar
shals at the request Of John l. Davenport.
Nine ont OF every ten of those taken before
the commissioners we're promptly discharged
because there was no justifiahle excuse for
arrestlDg them. Asa general thing when the
commissioner asked the deputy marshal
what the charge against his prisoner was
the marshal answered that he did not
know; that he had made the arrest because
a man "told him to-" In no instance men

shall have a warrant or see his prisoner
violate a law. Charges were preferred
against the few who we're held by others
than the deputy marshals.
1t must be admitted that such a condition
OF affairs ought not to be tolerated. Citi-
zeas ought not to be arrested on election
day and compelled to go long distance to
appear before a United States com
missioner unless there is a satisfao
tory reason for srresting them. One
citizen simply telling a deputy mar
shall to arrest another citizen ought not
to be a sufficient excuse for depriving per-
son of his liberty for single moment or
subjecting him to the indignity Of an ar
rest.
1t is question whether it wouldn't be
advisable to get rid of the entire machinery
for federal interference with elections.
There are in almost every part of the coun-
try men who seek to use this machinery to
make little money or crafty feeling of
resentment or revenge.
This man Davenport has made hundreds
Of thousands Of dollars out OF the federal
election laws. and what good has heaccom-
plished! At each national election he makes
a great show of preventing fraud, but does
he have anybody convicted of fraudulent
practces9 About the only thing he does is
to make out a big bill against the govern

The Lanosshire Cotton Strike.

The strike In the Lancashire cotton mills,
according to late cables from London, has
assumed an aspect more favorable to the
operatives. Since the mill masters issued
their notice that the spinnsrs would have to
submit to per cent. reduction in their
wages there has been an Improvement in
the trade, aud manufacturers are loath TO
shut down their mills and forego the profits
IN sight. The result will probably be that
some of the manufacturers will offer their
operatives the old rates and that the num-
Der Of idle spindles will be greatly red uced.
This partial revival of operations, how
ever, may prove only temporary. The
principal trouble with the Lancashire cot
ton industry is undoubtedly that the field is
overcrowded. There are too many mills,
the number Of spindles is entirely out Of
proportion to the demand for the output.
For twenty years, according to the Social
Economist, the cotton industry in Lam
cashire has been on the decline, the cause
being the increasing number Of spindles in
operation in America and India, and the
distance of Lancashire from the cotton
producing countries.
What effect the trouble in Lancashire will
have upon the price Of American cotton
cannot be told. If an arrangement can be
effected between spinners and owners
whereby the number Of idle spindles may
be materially reduced, and the reduction
maintained for some time, Liverpool prices
may not be adversely affected. II, on the
other hand, the 5000 900 splndles now idle
in Lancashire lie idle all winter the effect
on raw cotton prices may be banetul. At
the same time, ii is evident that Lanca-
shire, as the center of cotton manufacture
ing and the fxer of prices, is doomed to be
superseded by some other section. And
that section will probably be 10 America,
where the cotton is cultivated.
