REPEAL REcoMMENDED.
Tho Committes's Report on tho feders'
Election Laws.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 90
The special committee OF the House VI
Representatives. Of which Ashapei fi'o"
Is chairman. has concluded its report upon
the supervision and administration oi
the Federal election laws in the Soutnerh
district OF New York. The evidence taken
by the committee relates entirely 10 tne
administration and supervision OF the
Federal election laws In New YORK Guy
and county. The committee, after care
fully Htudying the operations OF the
Federal election laws, expressed the
opinion that all of these laws have en-
trely failed to produce any good results
In the direction of the purity OF elections
or the protection OF the ballot box, ana
have been productive Of such serious
and dangerous results that they ought
at once to be repealed" and the reasons
given for such repeal, as stated, are pc
cause they result In the non-convictioh
of offenders. and are. therefore. useless
TO prevent or punish crimes; are expensive
and are fruitful Of constant and continu-
ing frauds upon the Treasury.
The committee devotes some space to
n consideration of the aforementioned
points; refers TO the framing of the laws
under which the chief supervisor Of cleo
tons acted, and makes the following
declaration in regard 10 that official:
"He holds his Office by n tenure which
makes him practically independent of
any criticism or danger of removal. He
not only holds this Office OF chief super
visor Of elections. but he has also had
himself appointed United States commits
sioner. so that he can set as an examining
magistrate. With the power Of the Gov
eminent behind him, and with the money
Of the Government TO use, he has man>
aged for years n detective bureau, by
means OF which he has sought to get proof
Of the crimes which he has claimed ex-
listed In the city of New York. When
in the first capacity as detective he
has obtained such proof as he wishes 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 exc
cuted, and sometimes in third capacity
as a sheriff he seems to have made the
arrests of accused parties through his
own deputies. Then in his fourth capacs
ity az a United States commissioner sit
ting as a magistrate he has heard his
own charges against the prisoners. which
he presented to himself as judge. by
himself as prosecuting attorney. and has
decided himself upon their guilt or inno-
cence."
The report concludes: "These laws, in
stead Of constituting a system for the
protection of the franchise in the hands
of honest citizens. has been used, as is
sworn by the evidence, to furnish the
machinery for the corruption and for
chile robbery OF the franchise, and they
ought If for that reason alone. be prompt
ly repealed. The committee. therefore,
present to the House n bill providing for
the repeal Of these laws. with favorable
recommendation for its passage"

THREE QUEER Frs.
A Type of tho Human Elements That
America Tries to Assimilste.

An odd trio hurried through the Grand
Central station the other day in feversh
uneasiness lest they miss a train for
which commuters knew there was the
broad margin of a full minute, says the
New York Sun. The woman stayed her
long strides necessary to keep pace with
her husband, in order that she might
reach beneath her skirts and right the
maladjustment of some invisible garment
Train hands and less-hurried passengers
smiled at the performance. but the I'M
conscious foreigner resumed her strides
obliyious of any improperly. tiny boy,
who progressed by hop, skip and jump,
trustfully grasped the paternal hand and
was lifted aboard the train ahead of his
mother. The three then found seats and
the boy at once began staring out OF the
window.
When suburbans note a specially for
eign-looking fellow-traveler in shabby at
tire they at once set him down for an
Italian and give the matter no more
thought. But only the least ObserVant
person could have mistaken these people
for Italians. The man was clad in his
best. His coat. waistcoat and trousers
were OF black material and skimpily cut,
so that his legs looked spindina and his
waist was clearly outlined. The gar
nents were manifestly town-made, but
the queer fur cap he wore looked as
If IL might have been the creation OF his
own hands. trophy OF the chase in the
wilds whence he came. The woman wore
a snowy dark-green gown trimmed with
oliye-green lace. She had small gold or
naments In her ears. Her figure was OF
indefinite shape. and II she wore corsets
they were Of the il-htting kind that adds
the last touch OF shabbiness 10 forlorn
gown. The boy was neatly clad in knick
erbockers and Norfolk jacket. only his
cap had n foreign air. II was brown
cloth affair, running to a sharp tasseled
peak. which was turned over half way up
and nattened at the side of the head.
Only one with considerable photographic
knowledge would have guessed the ma
tionality of mother and son. The former
was pale. but not ill-featured. save that
mouth and chin were thrust forward In
ungraceful outline. The boy had his
mothers pale complexion and straight
nose, but In his smiling curiosity he look
ed rot unlike other children native TO
the soil But the father was unmistak-
able. His small. slanting. dull brown
eyes, shapeless nose. high check bone
and ugly chin proclaimed the ancestral
Kalmucl, his cousinship with historic
Tartars. He was an Eastern European
Of more remote Asiatic origin, from Rus
STA or the borders of Hungary. AS to
the skipping boy In Norfolk jacket and
knickerbockers, his smiling curiosity will
make him master OF American ways be-
fore he has attained his manhood, and
the enormous digestive power OF the re-
public will doubtless assimllate him.
