ago, pleading, not for their employers
but their employment. LAppiause.I
They represented two hundred thou

try. He spoke of the Mills bill and said
it was o measure which in comparison
with the pending bill seemed like the
work of statesman.
MIR. HARTER.
Mr.. Harter, Dem., Ohio,), large
manufacturer of Observation-Disclosures
and the we'll known free trade adyo-
cate, declared that if by law the prices
of goods were reduced for the benefit OF
the many it matterod not how much 1t
injured the few; but when the law put
up prices tho wrong was manifest. be-
cause it benefited the few ut the ex-
pense of the many. Tho law should
give the greatest good to the greatest
number.
Mr.. Brosius CRep. Pa closed the de-
bate for the afternoon in opposition to
tho bill. He defended the theory OF
protection.
There was meagre gathering at the
night session of tho house, the Republi-
can side being entirely deserted and the
Democratic side showing only fifteen
members. Representatives Mcguire,
(Dem., Cala.,) and Cockrell, (Dem.,
Texas,) spoke in support of the Wilson
bill. Mr.. Mcguire said that the bill
was bad in many particulars, yet 1t was
an honest effort in the right direction
and would, therefore, have his support.

THE nIINoRIrY REPORT

On the Federal Elections Repeal Bin-The
Democracy Opposed to Honest Elections.
WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 11.-Sepators
Chandler, Hoar, Mitchell OF Oregon, and
Higgins, constituting the Republican
minority of the Senate ommittee on
privileges and elections, presented their
report to the Senate on the bill to re-
peal the federal election laws late this
afternoon. Tho report begins with
reference to the effort to pass the cleo
ton bill in 1890, and an outline OF the
provisions of that measure, which they
say became the object of great popular
clamor, and was defeated by the solld
vote OF the members OF one political
party, aided by a very small number OF
members of the other.
st is not likely" they continue
"that this particular measure will over
be revived, but" they say, the ques-
ton which is now raised is wholly
different one. It is proposed to over
throw all the existing provisions OF
national legislation for securing honesty
in elections for members OF the national
house of represen tatives. These pro
visions were enacted largely for the
security of election in northern cities;
The laws now in force were passed
chiefly in consequences of frauds and
crimes which had been committed by
the Democratic party in the city of
New York under the leadership OF
William II. Tweed and his associates,
and those laws commended themselves
alike to his Republican opponents and
to many respectable and judicious
Democrats"
The report reviews the circumstances
which led to the enactment OF the re-
construction legislation, the civil rights
bill and the election laws at great
length. Tho passage OF the bill will
convey to tho people of the country
this notice:
.'The Democratic party, controlled by
the states of the solid south, has an in
eradicable hostility to national power"

A A Robinson's fine team of brown
horses ran away Sunday noon on West

and Mrs Robinson, their daughter, Miss
Meta, and nephew, Otto Hakes- None
of the party were seriously hurt, but one
of the horses will be in the care Of a vet
Urinary sugeon for a month.
President Robinson of the Mexican
Central railway, accompanied by Mrs
Robinson, returned home to Topekat at
11:3J yesterday from Chicago. They
were met at the depot by their daughter
and Mt. Hakes in the carriage. Going
home the horses were trOtting at a lively
gait on West Eighth street, when one OF
the horses slipped on the street rail-
way tracks at Jackson street
The horse nearly fell and the
spirited animals became uncomfortable
and started to run Mrs. Robinson
jumped out, as did Mr.. Robinson, and all
the other members of the family sue
ceeded in getting out of the CARR age.
The tongue of the vehicle finally broke
ant one of the horses stumbled over it
and fell, and the carriage ran into the
animal.

a
June 10th.
As announced in the JOURNAL Satur-
day evening, the date of holding the Re
publican primaries has been fixed for
June 18th, and the Australian ballot sys-
tenn will be used; the candidates recelv-
ing the highest number of votes will be
the nominees.
At the meeting of the county central
committee in the circuit court room,
where this matter was discussed and set
tied, a majority of the candidates through
their friends on the committee said the
Australian ballot would be satisfactory
to them.
The details of the system. which must
necessarily be modified for primary cleo
ton, was left with the executive COM
mittee.
1t was decided that. at at the coming
primaries a proposition to adopt the Aus
tralian ballot as the manner of holding
primary elections will be submitted to
the Republican voters of the county.
The voter Will be required to vote
either ~ esq or mo"
If the Australian system is adopted it
will relieve the central committee of the
responsibility of settling the plan Of
primaries over and over again each year.
When the Australian system was about
TO be adopted Squire j. B. Evans asked
that Soldier township be excluded. He
said the voters in that township did not
those who objected to the Australian bal
lot said that system kept many voters
away from the polls. The friends of the
system argued that the primaries should
be held by that system and give these
people who are afraid of the booths an
opportunity to learn how to vote.
Soldier township was not excluded and
Squire Evans will have to go into little
booth and show his legs from his knees
down like any ordinary citizen
