MIR. sTUBBs' RESOLUTION

Mr.. Stubs resolution directs the Conn
mittee on Privileges and Elections TO
inquire and report whether or not the
electoral boards should be abolished and
their duties and powers be conferred upon
the County Courts. The committee cam
not make a proper inquiry into and re-
port upon this matter without taking tes-
timony. 1t had better be left wholly
alone unless a full and complete exami-
nation OF witnesses is made, because we
nave already had one whitewashing ex-
animation, and another of the same sort
VIII so disgust the people that they viii
lose the last vestlge OF respect for the
present Legislature which is now left TO
them.
The frauds eAist-it remains only to be
seen whether the committee will look for
them or will close its eyes. The electoral
boards should be abolished. and their
functions should be again conferred upon
the County Courts. The all sufficient rea-
son for this is that the electoral boards
are composed of partisans. all of whom
are VI oht party, WIN uOlu tlcii
meetings In secret. and keep no record
Of them for public inspection. When that
case is stated. 1t is already fully agreed.
They would need to be more than men If
they resisted the influences Of party calls
with such temptations cast upon them.
To say nothing OF the security for good
condlct which the judicial Office in itself
furnishes to the public we have the addi-
tional fact that courts actions must
all be taken i'm the open courthouse be-
fore the eyes of all men. and they must
be duly and fully recorded so that they
may be revised by a superior tribunal II
erroneous. or controlled and restrained il
beyond the authority of the court. In the
nature OF things the courts must offer
better guarantees OF proper action than
electoral boards OF partisans who take
their proceedings in secret.
We lave frequently been pressed AT
this point with the argument that il the
courts will not now have frauds upon To
pect them to act fairly when controlling
the elections? The answer is very OBJ
vlous. Il is universally believed by
very many that the Anderson McCor-
mick Jaw was passed to make cheating
possible and easy. The people. therefore.
get the suggestion of Generalization from
their laws and that suggestion spreads
through the community, and becomes the
rule OF conduct No people ever yet were
better than their laws, and none ever viii
be.
Hut II the Legislature, after the discus
zion OF the matter that mas been had.
should repeal this law and restore con-
troll OF the elections TO the courts with
orders 10 them that all things were to
be openly done and performed, II would
be taken as a message from the law
making power that frauds in elections
were 20 be brought 30 a peremptory end.
and purity IN elections would be the
suggestion and rule instead or cheating
and fraud. The change that would take
place in the action OF the courts would
come from the change in tho Inspiration
BY which they would understand they were
70 b guided.
We have frequently said that the Sc
curity Tor pure elections lay In the good
oid Democratic principle OF local self
rue ana We were glad to see the doc

FREE RAILS.

The opinion Is very general In the House
this morning that Mr. Tom JOhnson's
amendment putting steel rails on the free
list VIII be carried through the Commit
tee Of the Whole. Mr.. johnson and his
friends have been making a very careful
canvass Of the House, and it is claimed
that they will have votes enough as
shown by that canvass to adopt the
amendment.-Washi Star. yesterday.
We pointed out recently that as steel
rails could now be made In this country
as cheap IL not cheaper than in England,
protective and not for revenue. This fact,
however. in nc way affects our conviction
that tariff should be impartial and
uniform. and If there is incidental protec-
tion to any article it Is matter with
which this Government should not NEEDLE.
Either let us have free trade or as near
free trade as possible-putting the tariff
on only few articles as in Engiand-or
let us abolish the free list, and make
every article imported pay uniform ad
saorem duty. Wherever Congress- begins

TO-DAY, REMNANTS !

Yard-Sticks and Scissors have
danced and clipped merrIly this
week, and short ends and broken
lots are plenty. Careful hands and
keen eyes have also been through
the stocks and put the ban on every
article in which flaw or speck could
count against it. It's the only way
to keep stock perfect-though big
losses follow. Better quick losses
and clean stocks than accumulatlonS

In his annual report. Attorney-General
Pilsbury, Of Massachusetts. refers to the
famous Lizzie Borden murder trial and
intimates that the verdict Of acquittal
was wrong. He says there were indca-
lions that the public discussion OF the
case and the public popular excitement
affected the conduct as wen as the result
Of the trial.

the sposmongers theory OF the courtesy
Of the Senate" has been stated so can
didly in all its vulgar and revolving gaud-

executive session of the Senate on Mon
day last. This theory is that when the
President Of the United States and the
majority Of the Senate are of the same
political party the President is bound TO
ask the permission of the senator's from
any State, if they be Of the majority,
before he dominates to the Senate any
one for an Office in the Federal service
i'm that State or any one from that State
for any position in the Federal service.
When the President violates this view or
his obligations, it is due to the courtesy
Of the Senate that his nominees, on the
demand Of the senators, shall be rejected.

The sleeves were large at the shoulder, being gathered into carefully laid plsats ss thiokly as possible just on ths round of the shoulder and spreading flat and wide. Three rows of braid hn- ished all edges of the coat. The child's hair hung free over her shoulders, in great golden brown masses of wave and curl. Her hat of golden brown and very rough straw was wide brimmed and sat back on her head, black ostrich plume held by knot of black moire ribbonN Trimming 1t, its ends lying over the bsautifth hair. Her coat flung open showed 6 gretchen bodice horizontally striped with the black braid, and with 6 dainty gimp of delicate white lawn drawn high about the throat. The carriage and gait of the child were splen- didly free and graceful, with e well-bred consciousness that suggested ariatocratio breeding. She was e type of class of young girls that did not exist few years ago, and mothers with girls about the right age would better begin to train them accordingly.

A velvet sash comes around the waist and knots at the side. FLoRKTTK.
