state Rights.

"The laws are to be destroyed for the
purpose of extensively reasserting the old
dogma of state sovereignty under which
the attempted dissolution of the Union was
defended in 1851. The repeal will pro-
claim that the state with its powers is TO
be magnified and honored while the nation.
with it's powers duly exercised under ex-
press constitutional authority, is to be
belittled and despised.
Whatever may be the intent, the legal
effect and real result of the legislation
will be wholly pernicious and injurious TO
popular government throughout the United
States
1T was in view OF the revolutionary plans
and the wicked and desperate crimes of
the democrats of the south and New York
city that Congress deemed IL clearly wise
and absolutely necessary to endeavor TO
prevent by legislation the recurrence of
such atrocities. These events were the
cause and justification of the various civil
rights acts and national election statutes ~
Mr.. Cleveland Quoted.
The report says that a careful considera-
ton of the election statutes does not show
any sound reason for their repeal, that they
do not interfere at any time. by one hairs
breadth. with the performance of their COM
plete functions by the state elections Off
GERS, that there is only a mild and moder-
ate Use of the national power to aid in Sc
curing honest results IN the election of the
popular branch OF Congress, which is such
an important depositary of national power.
1t quotes from distinguished democrats
who attested to the usefulness of the laws
and calls attention to the fact that Presi-
dent Cleveland has never recommended
their repeal. Continued frauds argue. the
committee says. in favor of the retention
of the laws and they hold that the clamor
for their repeal would be more defensible il
the local laws Of the states We're sufficient.
The report alludes to the defeat of Judge
Maynard in New York, and says that il
those who deprecated his crime committed
in the name of democracy had the fullest
measure OF sagacity and courage they
would stop the movement to repeal the ma
tional election laws The argument that
the laws are unconstitutional is held to be
hardly worth consideration.

THE MINORITY REPORTS.
Federal Election Repeal Denounced by the
Republican Senators
A Partisan Review of the Causes for
the Passage Of the Law
The Summary.

The minority report of the committee on
privileges and elections of the Senate on the
bill to repeal the federal election laws was
laid before that body yesterday 1t begins
with reference to the attempt in 1880 TO
pass the so-called force bill, citing the pro-
visions of that proposed law. Concernine
it the committee say:
1T is not likely that this particular meas
ure will ever be revived. The control of ma
tional legislation in this country Will be for
some time beyond the reach of the republi-
can party, and we believe that 1t is the de-
sire of a majority of the people that the ex-
pertinent should be fully tried whether exist
ing laws and an improving public sentiment
will not cure the evils complained Of But
the question now raised is a wholly differ
ent one. 1t is proposed to overthrow all the
existing provisions of national legislation
for securing honesty in elections for men,
bers of the national House of Representa-
tives. These provisions were enacted large
ly for the security of elections in northern
cities. at a time when the republican party.
which enacted them, was IN control of near
ly all the southern states. While there had
been great crimes upon the elective fran
chise and upon the rights of citizens in 9TH
er parts Of the Union, yet the laws now in
force were passed chiefly in consequence of
frauds and crimes which had been commit
ted by the democratic party i'm the city of
New York, under the leadership of VIM NJ
Tweed and his associates, and those laws
commended themselves alike to his repub-
lican opponents and to many reputable and
judicious democrats.

I'VE are certainly bound to oppose with
all our might any attempt to overthrow
or destroy at the south the rights of Ameri-
can citizenship indicated by the war, or
protected by the measures of reconstruc-
ton which followed it. Now, however
We are resisting an attempt to do much
more than that, an attempt to break down
securities for honest elections throughout
the entire country; securities needed quite
as much, and perhaps more. in the states
Of the north than they are elsewhere Ger
tainly there can be no pretense that the
existing election laws have anywhere pre-
vented the casting and counting, freely
and fairly, Of the full democratic vote OF
the country. That party has lately won a
national victory, obtaining control of the
presidency and both houses of Congress
without any complaint that il has been
unduly interfered with or INSTRUCTED. The
democratic party. II 1t be I'm danger today
of losing the political power IL has gained,
is in danger from the disgust of its own
better elements and from its better senti-
ments
But whatever may be the motives OF its
authors, the repeal bill itself is an un-
provoked and needless movement to stir
up sectional bitterness, to degrade the
national authority, and to encourage fraud,
intimidation and violence in elections.

Looks Like Murder.

Seven miles east of Chavez and about seventy-fYe yards south of the Atlantic & Pacific track last Monday was found the lifeless body of an unknown man. The circum- stances surrounding this case points to foul work on the part of some body. The unfortunate man was evidently a prospector, having a tent and everything which serves to constitute prospectors outfit, and that he had money on his per son at the time of his death we doubt not. This death or murder. as you wish to call it, recalls the finding of the lifeless remains of a man few miles from the scene of this murder. The authorities were notified but other than giving the murdered man a pauper burial, no action was taken. Does not tbese occurrences suggest the existence of an organized gang who prey up no unsuspecting subjects who come to this country in search of under ground treasures. And is it not time that these authorities who boast of their fitness for statehood and proclaim the rights of individ- ual liberty, free from molestation and the cost of life, were brought to realize the preciousness of the blood of man, and to regard all men on equality when dealing out what Liberty and the Scales" are, emblematic of? Certainly this state of things could not exist in civilized community, and would not be tolerated here were the un- fortunate subject other that miners.
 The body found near Chavez had been dead four or five days and little or no attentian is being paid to it.-Gallup Cleaner.

So great is the public terror in Delaware of the traction threshing engine, which travels by it's own power along county roads from one farm to another, that law is en- forced requiring, under heavy pen alties, that those in charge of the machine send a man 300 yards in advance to announce it's approach to persons driving along the road, and to aid in leading terror-stricken horses past it.

Badly Wanted.

Charles Taylor, cowboy who worked for the Antelope Springs Cattle company, east of the city, and who is a member of the notori- ous Jesse Evans gang. is badly wanted in this city.
 It has just leaked out that Tay- Tor came to the city about two weeks ago and called at the store of B. L. Washburn & Co.,, where he purchased goods to the amount of about $50. He presented in payment check of $50, signed by w. H. Wilder, owner of the Ante lope Springs ranch. The difference was paid to Taylor, who at once skipped the city. A letter from Mir. Wilder now informs the firm that the check was drawn for $8, and that Taylor had skillfully raised it to $50. Mir. Wilder furnished a description of the cowboy thief, as follows: About 5 feet 6 inches in height, weighs about 135 pounds, light gray eyes, and sore, and is about 34 years old. He limps in his walk, one leg being shorter than the other.
 Milton Dow, the merchant of Chilli, is in the city, and it is un- derstood that Taylor, while on his way to the city from the ranch, stopped at MT. Dow's and passed a forged check on him. The check called for s39, and bore the sigma ture of Fred. Lee, son of Judge w. D. Lee.-Alb. Citizen.

The preliminary examination of J. NJ. Owen. who it will be remem- bered fired at James Morris last week after the shooting between Morris and Charlie Adam, came off last Monday before Justice Packer at Stafford. Deputy District Attor- ney F, L, B. Goodwin represented the Territory and R. E. Wilson appeared for the defence. The evidence is reported to have shown that Owen fired at Morris from the back door of Barnabe Palms sa- loon, as Morris was riding towards home after he had shot and killed Adam. Owen was held for the grand jury in the sum of $500. He made statement and admitted that he did shoot at the time charg- ed, but that it was only to give the alarm.-Solomonville Bulletin.

The Phoenix sandstorm on Sun day July 22d, presented a different Phenomenon at Ft. Mcdowell where a vast rain of frogs covered the earth for considerable dis tance. They were little fellows but descended in such quantities that when Jim McCann's aged father opened his cottage door to look out after the storm, his carpet was strewn three inches deep with the slimy, green fellows rolling in pell nell one over the other. They fingered about croaking hungrily all night but when the sun rose next morning they hopped off for bath in the Verde. Another sand storm from the northwest will pro- bably bring them to Phoenix, but by that time they will doubtless be big enough to eat.-Gazette.

of the wageworkers present at this
 meeting was that their only hoI 6
 party composed entirely of labor. The meeting is significant in view
 q the fact that the labor organiza-
 of future prosperity depended upon independent political action, that future strikes must be controlled by the power of the ballot, and that organized labor cannot hope for re- lief at the hands of either of the old parties.
 The Populists held their State ,Convention in Columbus at the same time the labor leaders were in session, and it was thought that the Populists would incorporate in their platform such demands as the labor unions may require in order to catch that million votes. If the Populists succeed in capturing the labor vote of the country one of the old parties will be ruptured in the next presidential campaign. We have serious condition of affairs confronting us, to say the least.
 Since the above was in type the telegraph brings the news that the Populists. and labor organizations have fused in Ohio. The result of the pooling of issues between the Populists and Labor Unions of the country may be far more potential than the most of us are willing to admit. It is, by far, the most sig 1 nificant quantity in the political problem of to-day.
