THE FEDERAL ELECTION LAWS.

AS soon as it was evident that the
Democrats had elected their candidate
for President and majority of both
Houses of Congress it was evident also
that every law which gave the Federal
government any control of or supervision
over elections at which members of
Congress were to be chosen would be
swept away. The destructionsof all the
Federal election laws was the one de-
mand of their platform about which
all the Democrats were thoroughly in
earnest Other demands of the platform
might be complied with or not without
making any particular trouble In the
party, but the demand of Tammany Hall
and the Southern Bourbons to manage
elections as they saw fit was one that
would brook no denial or delay. Wheth-
er there was free trade or protection.
whether the State bank tax was repealed
or allowed to stand, whether silver was
demonetized or given better standing
in our financial system, were all cues
tions of little consequence beside this
one of the control of elections. Hence.
while there has always been doubt as to
whether the Democrats would live up
to their free trade, free bank and free
silver professions, there has never been
the slightest doubt that they would be
found faithful to the great cause of stuff.
ing ballot boxes with tissue ballots and
voting dead men in New York and the
other big cities without hindrance on
the part of the Federal government. The
repeal of the elections laws by botf
houses of Congress, to be followed by the
sanction of the President, is therefore t
surprise to no one. 1t was what was ex
pected when the result of the Presiden
tial election was known. The Repu bill

The scheme of Lieut.. Gov. Sheehan and
the Democratic mem bers of the New
York Senate to keep the beneficiary of
the Gravesend frauds in his seat has com
pletely collapsed. Sheehan enlisted in
behalf of his scheme the services .of ex-
Judge Maynard, and the latter got an
injunction from petty judge enjoining
the clerk of the Senate from calling the
name of the senator whom the Repu bill
cans had seated in place of MCCARTHY. A
little reflection. however, convinced the
Judge that he had done what he had no
right to do, and he FASTENED with great
speed to vacate his injunction, thus
leaving Sheehan without a leg to- stand
upon. One of. the most interesting and
significant features in the performance
was Mfsynard's readiness to repeat an
act similar in moral quality to the one
for which he was buried beneath 10000
majority The rebuke the people ad-
ministered has apparently not improved
him. He is as ready as he ever was for
any shady business which may profit
the gang of political pirates to.which he
belongs After the second demonsUra-
tion of his unfitness the people of New
York will be doubly glad that he did
not get. upon the bench.

REPRESENTATIVES, Cummings and Sickles

Democrats in the House who have had
the courage to condemn the Presidents

is hardly Democrat in the body but
condemns it privately. Not one of them

A Movement Is on Foot in This Country
to Send Them Relief.
New YoRK, August 1.-THE move
ment to send relief to the famine stricken
Coreans has already taken shape, and 10
being vigorously pushed. In response
TO the offer of the Christian Herald of
New York, to contribute 1000 barrels of
-four to any cargo that may be sent to
that country, the Corean Minister, Ye
Sung 500, yesterday telegraphed 10 that
paper the following from Washington !:
Your noble and generous contribu-
tion OF 900 barrels OF -four substan-
TALLY starts the movement to relieve my
starving countrymen. My heart is full
OF gratitude to you for your prompt as
sistance, and shall notify my govern
ment OF the relief that may be expected
from this country. 1t fills my heart with
pain and regret that my starving coun-
trymen and PROSTATE government can
not find means to transport the contri-
button you have so generously started.
In q day or two l hope shall be able to
advise you whether the shipping port
shall be New York or San Francisco.
The latter port would be better"
DIR. Louis Klopsch of the Christian
Herald has forwarded the following dis
patch to Secretary Gresham, inviting
the assistance Of the government in for
warding the proposed cargo:
The pathetic appeal made by the
Corean Minister in behalf of his starving
people provokes widespread sympathy.
II means OF transportation can be Sc
cured, q large cargo of grain for the re-
lief of these starving multitudes can be
provided. Will the United States gov
ernment undertake the transportation
from either New York or San Fran
ciscopn
1t is further proposed to secure the
cooperation of the various boards of
trade and exchanges throughout the
country, and especially at San Francisco
and Chicago. The cargo, when COM
pleted, will probably clear from the
former port, and 1t is believed that a
guarantee Of immunity from seizure,
either by China or Japan, will be granted.

Churches Are Demolished by q Mob an
Quebec. Canada.
QuEBEc, August S.-This city was last
night the scene of disgraceful and
riotous demonstration. The French Bap-
tist mission has recently been estab-
lished in this city with its headquarters
in building on Bridge street. A mob
gathered around the building, and an at
tack was begun upon it with stones.
The attack was fierce one, and the
windows and doors yielded to the shower
of stones pelted upon them. The poor
preachers, cooped up in the building
without any means whatever of defense,
could not venture out, and were held
prisoners for some time, until force of
police came along and cleared away the
mob, which numbered 5000, composed
mostly Of French Catholics. The mob
went to the building occupied by the
French ANGLICAN mission. This place
too was wrecked By the time the police
got this far the rioters had moved on,
and were at the Salvation Army bar
racks. Here another fusilade of stones
took place, and the property of the
Army sustained considerable damage.
The police here also arrived too late to
make any arrests, and hearing that the
rioters had again made for the Baptist
mission, they started in cabs for that
place, where they arrived just in time
to prevent a second riot. The streets
were cleared, and the missionaries were
escorted to their homes by the police to

UNION NOT RESPONSIBLE.
Its Members Did Not Destroy Railroad
Property in Chicago.

CmcAoo, August 7.--During the past
week committee Of the American Rail-
way Union held several consultations
with Mayor Hopkins. To-day Il. w.
Burns, director OF that organization
and the head OF the committee, ad-
mitted that the purpose OF the commit
tees visit was to furnish the authorities
with information touching the damage
claims OF the railway companies. TIE
union men say they expect to prove in
many instances that the destruction OF
property for which damages are claimed
was done by men employed by the rail-
roads and the General Managers As
sociation. They claim to be able TO
prove that the men arrested last Friday,
charged with leading the riot and burn
ing cars on the Rock Island tracks July
8, were at that time In the employ OF the
Chicago and Eastern Illinois road. They
also claim to have other similar cases.
Their object 10 10 show that the union is
not responsible for the riots and destruc-
tion OF property.

Eiovhtor men Are Alarmed as They
Think Mr.. HilIs Policy Means Ruin

Interest Of Discontented Farmers.
DuLuTH, Mimi, August I0.--'The East
en Minnesota, part of the Great
Northern system, to-day issued circu-
lar cutting charges Of handling and stor-
ing wheat in terminal elevators at this
point in two, in order to help the farm
ers Of the Northwest, who have been
growing more and more discontented as
a result Of the decrease in prices. Own
ers OF the other elevators at once called
on General Manager harrington and
threatened to have the certificates of the
Great Northern elevators ruled off the
Duluth board il the schedule was put
into effect. Mr.. Harrington dared them
TO do it, saying they would take their
business elsewhere IL they adopted such
q foolish policy. The elevator men are
IN CONSERVATION, as they think j. j.
HilPs new policy means ruin for their
interests, which involve millions. Mr..
Hill, according to Mr.. harrington, looks
upon terminal elevator as he does a
freight shed, and wants to make no
charges at all for handling and storing
wheat. He would have abolished charges
altogether but for the ruin it would
have brought TO elevator interests. The
elevator men are thoroughly alarmed.
II is claimed Duluth and Minneapolis
mills will be injured by the change.
