Yes erday the house of representa-

hy Mr. Tuck~r, OF Virginia, which ~
s"tVes Ihe repeal OF the federal elec
lron laws.
These most Objectionable statutes
are relies Of the IMPRESSIVE and tyran-
GaI measures adopted after the cIvIl
war, when the entire machinery of H..
government Was uuder the control OF
The K publican party, and when n
partisan Congress did not hesitate to
ENACT into law any demand the party
leaders might make in order t.
stFsDgthen aud consolidate the power
If iheir party. These desB sBotic laws,
Which virtually give the federal au
thonties full power over all election,
which ar@ not strictly c"Hfned tu~th
choosing of state officials, are en-
Rrac~d IN the Hcta of May 81, 1870,
and Feb %, ASH. Up 10 that tin,

THE most notable incidents Of the

were the appeals made by Senators

She controversy BY compromise. Al.
though compromise has been tailed

frat tims that it has been publicly ad
voeated on the floor Of the senate
Senator VOORHEES, still stands out
against compromise and insists that the
bill for unconditional repeal can b.
passed. Predictions are freely made

0uR Washington correspondent says :
There is one eongressman--he's q
Tammany man, too-who Is always GER
tain of warm welcome when he calls
at the White House, whether he gors
asking an appointment fora friend or to
discnas public matters. The reason L.
4his: On the day That baby Esther was
born this congressman was approached
by load-mUuthed individual who has
made himself conspicuous by his per-
s0nal abRse of President Cleveland
probably because he was turned down
by him.--in q Bell,known restaurant
which was at the time crowded with
prominent public men, and the afors-
aaid lond-monthed individual made q
disrsspectful remark about the baby
whose birth had just been announced
The Iammany congressman walked
close up TO the man and deliberately
spat in his face. The coward snaakrd
of like the eur that he Is, and the COD.
grsasrnan Was asked Why he did not
knock him down. "Striks HIM = be
remarked seornfnlIy. Il wonld not dirty
my bands with such rs he" Within aD
hOur the incident was reported to the
president, and since then he is never
too busy to see that Tammany congress-
man when he calls at the White
House. The Iammany congressman
has, however, asked for nothing
since the incident, for. as be puts it.
81 do not wish to be rewarded for hay
ing done what any good citizen would
have dons--resented an insult to the
family Of the president"

How much truth there is in the talk
anong Republicans about the Demo-
cratic members Of the house committee
on Rays and means being afraid to
attack protection may be inferred from
the following remarks made by Dem.
oeratic member Of that committee
'fThe new tariff bill will be framed OF
the lines laid down by the Chicago plat
form, even ifit results instbs defeat q
the polls of every Democratic membe
of the committee. We shall heR clos'
to the line and you can rest assured
that no matter what else is done il viii
be found that the tariff bill wber
At is reported will be completely il

The Republicans who are trying h,

foolish thing. Itis much better thal
the country should know at once that
She high protective duties Of the Nc

LINE OF BATTLE.
THE FORCES ARE DRAWN UP ON BOTH SIDES AND THE FINAL STRUG-
 GLE IS NOT FAR OFF,
ELECTION LAWS.
Strong Elf ,rt Is Bring Wade to Repeal Them-There Wiil be Bitter
 sirngg e on This Measure.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Sept. 25.-- 1 Special. The-Iine of battle be- tween the anti-silver and silver forces is gradually being more closely drawn, and it is apparent to all observers that the final struggle cannot be prolonged much longer. The Republicans are anxious to ap- pear to the country as being thor oughly in accord with the repeal movement and have brought for. ward clotnre rule to emphasize their desires and intentions, but 1t is well understood here that they are not at all disposed to help the administration out of the dilemma that confronts it. Senator Voor- hees Is ostensibly anxious for the repeal bill to pass, but he is handicapped by his past record on the silver question and necessarily his influence as leader against sil- yer is weakened.
 It Is not clear how the senate can ever come to vote unless the silver men consent as the rules are of such character that everything Is done by unanimous consent and the custom of the senate has been from the foundation of the government to allow unlimited discussion and the utmost freedom of debate. The senators friendly to silver justify their present course by the action of the Democrats when they filibus- tered against the force bill, and in addition thereto say that the force bill was purely a political measure, while the silver question effects the whole country, hence they claim they are justified in using every parliamentary weapon to prevent the utter degradation of one- half the currency of the country.
 That tbe party is bopelessly split on this question is beyond doubt, and both sides will not give any quarter nor expect any from the other. What effect this division will have on the future of the party it is impossible to predict, but the Southern members are not very sanguine as to it's future in their section if the open hos tiiity of the administration with regard to the coinage of silver and consideration of bills reg rding fed eral interference and supervision of elections continues.
 It is charged by the administra- tion followers that the consideration of the election bill is being pushed at this juncture in order to em- barrass and probably prevent the passage of the repeal bill This is a mere subterfuge, and is raised in order to prevent the elections bill from being discussed.

A STAB AT CLEVELAND. THE PRESIDENT WILL BE ARRAlGNED FOR VIOLATION OF THE
 CONSTITUTION.
STEWART'S RESOLUTION.
The Chief Executive Charged With AL tempting to Control the Legis-
 Iation of Congress.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The president or the United will be ar raigned in the United States senate next Monday for violating the spirit of the constitution iu endeav- bring to destroy the in dependence of the law mak- ing branch of the government by seeking 10 coerce congress into the passage of the repeal bill. No tice to this effect was clearly indi- aated in resolution this morning, presented by Senator Stewart of Nevada, upon which the senator announced he would address the senate next Monday.
 This resolution declares that the independence of the coordinate de- parUments of the government must Le maintained and the use of the power and influence of one department to control ac ion of another is a violation of the constitution and destructive to our form of government.
 The introduction of the resolu- ton created quite sensation and the discussion of the matter Monday will certainly attract great attention as it indicates the intention of silver senators to divert the dis cussion of the senate to the alleged attempt of the president to control the legislation of congress.

Another Naval Sensation.

LONDON, Sept. 25.-Another sensation has been caused in naval circles. A dispatch to Lloy ds, from Malta, says: The British battle-ship Camperdown ran aground there to- day, while leaving port for England where she was undergoing a thor ough cverhauling. The Camper down will be remembered as the monster iron clad which off Tripoh, Syria, ran into and sunk the British Mediterranean squadron's flagship Victoria, causing the loss of hun dreds of lives, including that of Vice Admiral Sir George Tyron.

BY ANARCHISTS.
A Woman Who Knew too Much Was Put Out of the Way and Her Hus-
 band Lett for Dead.


 PITTsBURG, Sept. p Mrs. Au- gust Reese was murdered and her husband brutally aud seriously beaten by Anarchi ts at Calamsdi, Pa last night. Calamedi is small mining town twenty miles south of here. There are two factions ;mong the miners, one favoring and the other opposing Anarchy. The Reeses belong to tho latter. Some time ago Mrs. Reese learned the secrets of the Anarchists and her death was at once decreed. Last night while they were returning from church they were met by two Anarchists named Moen Laisen and August Brice, who at once opened fire upon them. Mrs. Reese was killed at the second shot. The murderer then turned upon the hus. band and beat him into insensibils ity, after which they left him for dead. The firing attracted the attention of neighbors, who found the couple on the road Reese soon revived and told the story of the assault. A party was organized and Laisen captured as he was leaving town. Brice suceeedt d in getting away. Constable Mahaffey says the murder is the direct result of the killing of a Frenchman a year ago. Mrs. Reese became acquainted with the facts and also discovered that Laisen and Brice were about to leave for Canada, where they were to blow up public buildings, Upon the discovering of their secrets it is known it was determined to put the Reese family out of tho way. It is thought Brice will be captured latere
