Federal Medling with Elections Must
Cease.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-In its report made
by Mr. De Almond, democrat of Missouri,
in the House today the committee on cleo
ton of President, &C., says relative TO the
bill repeating the statutes concerning the
federal supervision of elections: 1--WE be-
leve no good can result from retaining these
provisions, and that their continued existence
is a continued menace to the peace and well
fare of the country. URder the constitution,
when any one claims a seat in either House,
that house. and that house alone, has the
right and power to pass upon and determine
the matter finally and conclusively. IL may
be noted as an evidence of substantial pro-
gress in the science of self-goyernment that
the people of the several States are steadily
improving their election machinery. They
are rapidly adopting and perfecting methods
for insuring free, fair elections. Expert
ence has shown that it is vitality important to
prevent or at least minimize the bribery and
intimidation of voters To accomplish this,
the voter must be freed from all such es-
pionage and interference as is provided Tor
in these obnoxious sections OF the law. Inc
disposition to magnify their office has been
repeatedly and recently made manifest by
these federal agents. The country was
startled quite lately by proclamations OF an
intention to violate this federal elections law
by adding to its odious provision by means
of so-calied construction, amounting to ex-
ira judicial and extra legislative creations.
In more than one State was raised the ques-
ton whether the threatened lawless inter
meddling of marshals and special deputies at
the polls, resting on some worthless con
structien,' should be met with tame submis,
sion, or, if need be, adequate and lawful
force. 1t soon became evident that the pee.
pie would cheerfully bow to the majesty Of
the law, but not to the servility Of lawless
construction or lawless threats. The issue
being thus made, the incipient attempt to
override State laws without the support Of
federal law for so doing was abandoned for
prudential reasons, perhaps, while the ami
mus remains. These perilous experiences
happily passed-thanks to the frmness of the
people in behalf of law and order-ought to
warn us to remove from the statute book the
"a useless and dangerous sections which this
bill would repeal. Finally, we believe the
people have soberly and deliberately decided
that federal meddling with elections must not
be extended. bnt must cease.

Louis f. McComas was finally confirmed
as Associate Judge of the District of Co.

This is a life position and removes Mr..
McComas from Maryland and Maryland

The President has nominated his private
secretary as pay-master in the Navy, and
is said contemplates nominating Attorney
General Miller to succeed Justice Lamar

the President could he would like to quar-

positions.

Another Democratic Senator.

That the Democrats will have majority
in the next Senate was settled beyond doubt
by the election of Judge John Martin, of
Topeka, by the Kansas Legislature to the
United States Senate. Judge Martin has
been lifelong Democrat, but upon the
rise Of the Populist party Judge Martin
advised Democrats to join them, not so
much to further PopuIist ideas as to break
down Republican ascendancy in Kansas
and IN the country. The Democrats in
the Legislature voted for Martin. who was
brought forward BY the Populisis, and he
bad Il clear majority without counting the
Populists whohad been seated in the places
Of ousted Republicans.

Speculation has been rife for some weeks
upon the composition of Mr. Clevelands
Cabinet. In regard to the Secretary of
the Treasury doubt is now removed by the
resignation from the United States Senate
of Hon. John G. Carlisle, Of Kentucky,
whom rumor has assigned to the Treasury
portfolio ever since the election. No
better selection could have been made, for
Mr.. Carlisle stands at the head of Ameri-
can statesmen, and is a master Of tariff
and revenue matters. Hon. Thomas +.
Bayard, it is thought, will resume his
former place as Secretary of State. MIR.
Bayard made fine record in this position,
and is specially fitted to handle the d.
plomatic affairs of the government. lie is

For thee Democratic Advocate.
The Roads and the Classics.

| have been, Messrs. Editors, not only
amused hut greatly edited by the quintuple
discussion of the road question, going on in
the Sentinel between those classici-Haysee,
Purveyor, Rambler, Col. Mckellip and the
editor of the Sentinel. Two of these gentle
men have introduced into the plain business
ofroad. making orroad- mending, those ancient
worthless -Methuselah, Herodotus, Homer,
Aristotle, Cicero, Demosthenes and the more
modern Shakespeare, Browning, Fulton,
Morse, Edison and Webster. What a list OF
distinguished names to employ in the discus
sion of roads! | would not depreciate the
importance of good highways. They are OF
sufficient note to command the consideration
of the best intellects. Cincinnatus left OH
guiding the pillow to guide the ship of state,
and if he were now living he would probably
notobiect to welding pick and spade to serve
his people in the matter OF improving the
pablic roads But it struck me as somewhat
odd to associate these great names with the
subject of public roads, one of the most prac-
teal aud utilitarian topics, and about as far
removed from the classics as anything that
could well be imagined. However, classic
minds would very naturally treat the humblest
subject in classical manner. Still, the ordl-
nary mind would be able to discern very little
connection between the classics and the pub
lie roads. The pick and the pen possess very
little in common. The one calls for the exer-
else of Drawn, the other of brain, and there
is very little assimilation between them.
Road making is one of the most practical
subjects. Theories and speculative fancies
wont build them. 1t takes hard work to
make them properly, and hard cash to COM
pensate labor. The pick is far more poten-
tial, in such service, than the pen. Words
are cheap, advice costs nothing. Work is
the essential thing, and work demands wages,
wages demand taxes. No bonds or bondage
for me.
The men who WELD the pen
And put their thoughts on paper,
Are ne'er so pleased as when
They cut some learned caper.
Their forte is words-not deeds
Words pertinent and sprightly,-
They know the public needs,
But treat the subject lightly
Law pen and ink aside,
And take the pick and shovel.
Then follow reasons guide.
And delve amid the gravel
The classics will not help you.
In making good our by-ways,
But Drawn, It's very true,
Is excellent for highways.
The best thing for The roads
Is not your pen and paper.
But implements, ia loads
Adapted TO such labor
Pick-axe, shovel. spade,
Crowbar, cart and barrow,
Nor be the least afraid
That farmers have not marrow
Fair foolscap pen and ink
Are not the things for making
Good roads. Whate'er we think,
Good roads require stone-breaking.
Those writers, were they here,
Upon the roads, this winter,
Would know much more, It's clear
Than they have told the printer.
