FEDERAL ELECTION LAW.
CONGRESS WILL PROBABLY REPEAL
THE OBNOXIOUS MEASURE.
In Such an Event John 1. Davenport
VIII BE without a Job Whereby He
Can Run Detective Agency and
Draw Government Pay.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-One Of the
first efforts of the democratic congress
will be directed to secure the repeal of
the federal election law under which
John 1. Davenport of New York has
made such a reputation as supervisor
of elections. Senator Hill Of New
York has taken the initiative in this
matter in the senate and Gen. Black of
Illinois, Reconnaissance Of pensions and
now member Of congress, has pre-
pared a bill to the same pUrport for in
PRODUCTION in the house. Senator Hill
has made such substantial progress that
he has secured the consideration of his
bill by the senate committee on
judiciary and a day or two ago the
measure was ordered to be reported to
the senate with recommendation that
it do pass.
The democrats in their fight to secure
the repeal Of this law do not expect to
encounter serious opposition either in
the house or senate, and they appear to
be assured that the measure is one which
will secure immediate approval by Presi-
dent Cleveland.

Davenport,s Detective Burear

dent Cleveland.
DavenpOrfs Detective Bureau.
On last January a select committee to
inquire into the administration of cleo
ton laws in New York City presented
a report containing the following state
ment:
With the power of the government
behind him and with the money of the
government to use, Davenport has man
aged for years a detective bureau, by
means Of which he has sought to get
proof Of the crimes which he has claimed
existed in the City of New York. When
in his first capacity, as a detective, ne
had obtained such proof as he wished to
use, he then, in his second capacity as
a public prosecutor issued the warrants
for the arrest Of the alleged criminals.
Sometimes he gave these warrants to
the United States marshal to be executed
and sometimes in a third capacity. as a
sheriff, he seemed to have made the
arrest Of the accused parties through
his own deputies.
Then in a fourth capacity as a United
States commissioner, sitting as a magis-
trate. he has heard his own charges
against the prisoner, which he presented
to himself as judge by himself as prose-
cutting attorney and has decided himself
upon their gsilt or innocence. Yosr com
mittee, after a very dareful study Of the
operations Of the federal election laws
the city Of New York, are of the opinion
before election and on election day in
that all these laws have entirely failed
to produce any good results in the d.
rection of the purity of elections or the
protection OF the ballot-box, and have
been productive Of such serious and dan
gerous results that they ought at once

No Necessity for wildcat Banks

~ y
Mr.. CARLISLE. Secretary OF the Treasury.
has discovered that there is now on the
Federal statute book law. passed in 1862,
which provides that 1.-THE Secretary of the
Treasury may purchase coin with any OF
the bonds or notes issued by the United
States 1t such rates and ON such terms as
he deems most expedient for the public
interest"
This law, If IL is still in force. would en-
able the administration to issue many
green backs as the government might need
for any purpose. 1t has not been dis
tinctly repealed. but an exchange suggests
that 1t has been distinctly superseded.
The Philedelphia Telegraph takes the fol-
lowing view of the matter. 1t says:

pnennatic Power vs.. Steam Power.

Our friend, O. S. MAURICE. Esq, of Man.
chester, who recently appeared before our
readers as the champion OF steam as
against electricity. seems now TO have
found new propelling power, aud to have
come to the conclusion that neither steam
nor electricity is TO be employed hereafter.
but pneumatic power will put girdis
round the Garth in forty minutes" Mr..
MAURICE has favored us with a copy OF a
pamphlet of iifty-si1 pages, profusely Illus
trated, intended to uphold his contention
Just mentioned. We are told that the new
invention il a perfect system of pneums-
tic-power transmission adaptable to steam
roads. elevated roads. or street roads; that
no complicated or expensive plant IL ne
cessary: that there - no limit to the power
nor TO the speed of the cars: that there
will be no smoke, no cinders. no noise;
that there is no possibility OF accident (;
that the cost of maintenance is low, the
operation extremely simple. and ohs posi-
| bility of accidents done away with.
Again, the trolley. the cable. steam. And
| other devices now in use require. the pam
phlet says, from 50 TO 10 per cent. OF theil
| powor to be employed before their actua
work begins, whereas the pneumatic sys-
TEN applies every pound of its acquired
| power 10 the cars on the track, not wasting
| or losing one pound. 1t ascends steer
| grades as easily as it runs on u level. The
| inventor, Mr.. GoBsNL, Of Philadelphia,
says positively that q speed OF 100 miles

He says that by the use OF pneumatic

the PENNSYLVANIA railroad would save

A locomotive requires so per cent. OF its

The Rules of the House.

In speaking of the prospect of repeating
the SHERMAN silver law the Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore San says
that it Is not expected that there will be
much difficulty in reaching vote IN the
House. for it is expected the rules will be SO
modified as to give the majority the abso-
Lutte control of the House in emergencies.
We advocated this change in the rules OF
the House of Representatives two years
ago. 1t would be bad policy. so we argued
then, as we hold now. TO allow the Repub-
hcaus to control the House of Representa-
tives absolutely when they have maJori-
ty in that body and deny the same priv
lege to the Democrats when these have O
majority there. We trust. therefore,
that the Suns correspondent is right IN
his expectation thht in the next House the
Democrats will have rules which will en-
able them to control legislation.

Nov comes the announcement that he con-
templates making the individual peasant

lions more Numerically opposed than
these. Yet Russian polioy Is radical or
nothing, and tho world would not DO the
least surprised IL either Of the expert
ments was tried.
Whom the serfs were cmancipated in
1861 those attached to the personal service
of their masters we're merely set free. thus
adding so much to the proletariat of the
towns. Those attached to the soil, how
ever-the peasants proper-were gwen
their houses and orchards. and also allot-
ments of arabic land. but these allotments
wore held By the rural communities. which
were made responsible as whole for the
taxes That the great reform " OF ALExAN-
DER III. did no. improve the condition OF the
average peasant has been abundantly de-
monstrated. The community has been
the prey of both the government official
and the large landowner, and tho poorer
neasant has become to all intents and pur-
nose, the slavs of his little more fortunate
peiehtor. According TO the most reliable
testimony the majority of the Russian
peasauts OF to-day are more destitute than
were the class during the existence OF serf-
dom. Not only that, but they have not
advanced either in intelligence or indi-
viduality. .,
Nevertheless. their devotion to and blind
faith in the Car have never deserted
them. Poverty nor ignorance nor tyranny
has been able to shake thedr LOYALTY. In
considering, therefore, the probability of
ALrxAspER's acting upon the new whim
which il said to have possessed him, tho
question arises. Which would be best cal
culated TO insure the perpetuation OF the
RoMIsorp dynssty--the practical slavery
that exists among the pessantry now or
the independence and relief that would
in course of time come with the bond-f'te
ownership of land. Judging from the ex-
perience of France with her peasantry
there seems no doubt that from an eco
pornic standpoint the Cars latest alleged
contemplated step would be a most sd-
vantsQeous one not only for the class
most interested but for Russia as ma
ton. But on tho other hand, the fact re-
mains that since the French peasants have
become actual landowners, producers on
their own account, and the basis OF the
prosperity Of the country France has be-
como @ republic.

we suppose the sussr-plauters would

thus secure protection for sugar than to

protection for their sugar. The recon

sugar-planters are no longer afraid OF

Chicago and Richmond Banks.

The past week was one of severe strain
upon the banks of Chicago. Owing to
rumors that got abroad as to the solvency
of one or two savings institutions there
run of depositors was begun upon these
and this panic extended to other institu-
tions. and the result was that a largo
amount OF money was withdrawn.
The Chicago papers represent that the
panic was altogether foolish, and this
many of the aforesaid depositors also IN
derstand now, inasmuch as they have
found out that having peremptorlly with
drawn their money they thereby aban-
doned their claims to interest due thereon.
Ono OF our Chicago exchanges ascribes
the panic TO the fact that an ENTER
prising" paper there got out an extra "
announcing failure which had taken
place. This item was dealt with sensation-
ally, and the newsboys, eager to sell their
papers, went forth into tho streets and by
ways yelling, Failure, failure" at the top
of their lusty voices. This excited many
people, who rushed to the banks and
checked out their money.
Happy 10 the city whose papers refuse to
imperil the public welfare for the sake of
scoring "beat,n or Of raking In a few
extra dollars on account of increased paper
sales.
Doubtless there is latent feeling of dis
trust IN Chicago as the result OF the pub-
hc knowledge that large fortunes are
staked on the success of the Worlds Fair
and that If the fair fails of success great
houses and large interests will bs involved.
Besides Chicago ID ever city of specula-
t,on-a city whore large fortunes are made
or lost on "a turn" in the market.
We rejoice that Richmond has had no
such trouble as Chicago. aud now that the
President has announced his purpose OF
calling Congress IN extra session The gene
raj opinion is that tho money market
will steadily improve. Our exemption
from alarm has been the result Of public
confidence in the stability Of our banks
As was recently said of them, they are "a'
solid as stone wall" And to the.best oil
their ability they have been accommo.
dating tho people. As in iutv bound. they
have looked after the interests of their OWL
customars before giving help to those who
Rave no special claim upon them, but they
have cheerfully helped wherever it wa
possible for them TO do so. Richmond''
present solid position is tribute to theii
business methods.
When Congress does meet it is going q
work IN dead earnest The government
ought soon to have settled hnancia
policy and then the country woald launch
out upon new period of prosperity.
