upon the application Of len citizens
OF good standing.
By the ACT a. it was originally
passed, very large powers were given
"a Federal Supervisors Of both class
~s such as to attend 1T all times

! ton books; to attend at the election
and challenge any person 5 vote who
/ they think may not be entitled and
to perform various other duties, TOO
/ proliX to be set out here.
Until 1872 Federal Supervisors Of
both classes had all these power, but
+ IN 1872 Congress passed the follow
/ ny Act. which is ali amendment TO
/ the original enforcement Act, and is
found in Section 2029 of the Revised
I Statutes of the United States. This
Act reads as follows: "The >uperyi-
sOrs OF Election appointed for any
county or parish in any Congression-
al district, at the instance of ten cit
izens, as provided in Section POLL,
shall have NO authority to make ar
rests, or to perform other duties than
to be in the Immediate presence of
the officers holding the election. and
to witness all their proceedings, in
Guiding the counting of the votes
and the making of a return thereof. "
No one can contend that Federal
Supervisors have amy power, or can
discharge any duties, except as such
power may be conferred or such duty
required by statute.
Now while the original Enforce
ment Act gave to them large powers,
and required various and grave duties
to be performed, as far DIS Federal
Supervisors appointed on the appli-
any Congressional district (Which in
cludeS all Federal Supervisors, except
those appointed on the application
of two citizens in cities or towns hay
ing 10000 inhabitants or over are
cOncerned), the subsequent Act of
1892 ia kes away all of their powers
and requires no duties of them, ex-
c,p5 to be in the immediate presence
OF the officers holding the election,
and to witness all of their proceed
ings, including the counting of the
votes and the making of return
thereof.
We are therefore of opinion that
Federal Supervisors, except those fol-
cities and towns of 10000 inhabit-
ants or over, have no power 10 make
arrests; no power as such Supervi-
sorS to make, or require to be made
for them, any copy of the registra-
ton books; or to do any other act,
except to be in the immediate pres
ence of the officers holding the cleo
ton, and to witness all of their pro-
ceedings, including the counting Of
the votes and making return there.

JARVIS SEVERELY CRITICISED
From all accounts Senator Jarvis
narrowly escaped fatal mistake in
his GoIdsboro speech. What he said
about the administration has doubt
lGss been colored and magnitied in
its repetition here. lie is severely
criticised by the administration cue
kOOs around Democratic headquar-
ers. Word was sent out to muzzle
him or knife him. lie was advised
that repetition Of the etfront would
cost him public dcnunciatlon lbs a
lOpulist, and Il remuneration by the
State committee of responsibility for
his canvass. All of which goes to
show that it Is defiant adminiStra-
ton fight and that The double strad-
die silver act is only for effect.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
The persistent attempt to manu-
facture great business revival in
the interest Of the Democratic cam
paign is simply absurd. The "spurt"
Immediately following the adjourn
ment of congress has about exhaust
ed itself. A prominent North Car
Dina banker, after a weeks stay in
New York sums up the business sit
uation in this way: Trade" he
says, has increased recently 10 per
cent, but is p to 80 per cent. below
the maximum in 1892. This is very
far from the promises of what the
tariff was to do. Indeed, if trade is
rs per cent below the maximum we
are not yet out of a state of panic as
far as the effect on the volume of
business is concerned. 1t is doubt
full If one business man in 10 could
stand the loss of 70 per cent. of trade
for any length of time. The low
price of agricultural products and
the disaster to the corn crop will
made depression in the Western
States for long period, while the
tariff will destroy industries in all
parts of the country and make the
poor man poorer especially in the
Eastern States. The South never
has proSpered when the price of cot
ton was aS near the minimum point
as it is now. These are generally
truths which cannot be gainSaid, and
nothing can be benefited by theil
suppression or peryersiOn-not even
the Democratic party"

CHINESE IN MEXICO.

From time to time reports have come of
some arrangement between the Govern
ment of Mexico and the Chinese Govern
,ment by which the immigration of Chinese
into Mexico would be facilitated. The
Government Of Mexico has been repre-
sented as DESTROYS of securing a large
force of Chinese laborers with which TO
prosecute certain national work. Mine
owners have also entertained the idea that
Chinese labor was cheaper than Mexican
labor. and consequently that larger profit
would come from their employment. The
last report Of this kind represents the
Mexican Government as extending to
China all the benefits of the "most favored
nation" clause. Chinese will be permitted
to become Mexican citizens, and as such
may claim the right TO emigrate to the
United States. Now, there Is one stub
born fact which stands between this re-
ported treaty and its execution. The Mex
lean people are as much opposed to Chinese
immigration as the American people. The
easy-going Mexican laborer does not want
Chinese as competitors. II there are any
MeXicanS who do want Chinese they are
the class that want them here-those who
want cheap labor without regard to con-
sequences. 1t is hardly probable, there
fore, that this treaty will be carried into
effect without some expression from the
Mexican people.

CHARACTER TO COUNT.

The Santa Rosa Republican says:
Character is going TO count for considerable
In the next political campaign in California. 1t
Will count for most in the head OF the ticket
The people have come to the conclusion that
number OF reforms must be accomplished in
this State. Protests against eXtrayagant ex-
pendIture of public funds are coming up from
all sections. Asyums are costing TOO much,
penitentiares and reformatories are TOO expen-
sive, and there are departments OF the State
Government that should be put on a more
economical basis.
THE CALL quite agrees with its Santa
Rosa contemporary that the State Govern
ment should be put on a more economic
basis. The expenses Of the State Govern
ment are out of all proportion to either
wealth or population. We are third on the
list as TO expenditures, but way down in
the middle as to population. A Governor
can exercise some influence over expendi-
lures, but the main work must be done in
the Legislature.
The Executives blue pencil drawn
through a certain item in the appropria-
tion bill Is less productive of good results
than an harmonious scaling OF items all
through the bill with an occasional omission
of any appropriation at all when clrcum-
stances seem to want such action. The
pressure brought to bear upon members
OF the Legislature to authorize liberal eX-
penditures is so great that little is expected
in the way of economy from that source.
unless members are elected under a cast
iron pledge not to exceed a certain percent
age on the taxable property of the State.
Both OF the conventions in 1892 took the
pledge readily enough, but the members of
the Legislature paid little attention to their
pledges.
The convention which meets next Tues
day will pledge the party as usual, but it
should go farther and devise some method
to hold cbaracterless members of the Leg
islaturs to the convention pledge. Times
just now are somewhat out Of joint. The
money to pay taxes with does not come so
easily as it once did. The farmer has to
sell about two bushels Of wheat to get the
dollar one bushel used to bring. That to

MAXIMUM FREIGHT RATES.

A case is on trial in Omaha which in
wolves the right Of Legislature, through
a State board or otherwise, to fix maximum
freight rates. Judge w oolE worth. the at
torney of the railroads. cited authorities
to show that higher courts had a right 10
render null and void legislative acts which
are Injurious and unjust to corporations as
well as to common people. Judge Brewer
held that these decisions only permitted
the courts to strike out unconstitutional
clauses in legislative act. But the rail-
road counsel commended that the unconsti-
tutional clauses were so intermingled as
to render The whole act unconstitutional.
If the conten ton of the railroad attorney
is sustained legislative acts. crea ting boards
or commissions to fix such rates will be
useless assumption of power. A railroad
can always go into court and show that
an act which restraints the exercise of a
right to charge all the traffic will bear is
injurious and unjust to its owners. Even
when the maximum rate as fixed is high
enough to assure reasonable profit to the
road, the theory may be advanced that
the road should be allowed to make a
large profit between non-competing points
TO compensate for possible losses between
competing points. A decision in favor of the
railroad in this case would place railroad
traffic above State law, leaving operators
at liberty to compete or combine. as might
seem best for their own interests. Next
in order would be an act compensating
from the public treasury railroads for
losses sustained through the construction
aud operation of ompeting lines.

THE CLOVEN FOOT.

Washington correspondence represents
Senator Brice at WORK on funding bill to
provide Tor the funding CT the Central
Pacific debt. The alleged purpose of the
bill and the argument by which it is sup
ported conflict. The alleged purpose is to
provide for the payment of the debt within
a fixed term of years, while the argument
in support OF the bill is that the debtors
are not in honor bound to pay the debt at
all. The bill according to the Washington
correspondent will deal with the difficulty
of getting people to take up the building
of the road, the advantages resulting from
its being built and the admitted fact that
the bonds were sometimes sold for cur
rency and sometimes at considerably less
than their face value. The injection of
such an argument into funding bill sug-
gests what may possibly be the true pur-
pose of the bill, that is, the evasion of
payment entirely.
There are two or three facts which in
the consideration of this case Congress
should keep in mind. One is that during
the period of construction the four build
ers OF the road became vastly wealthy
Another is that while they were getting
rich the road was getting so poor that Con-
gress was induced to permit the increase
of first mortgage bonds to secure the con-
struction Of the road. A third fact Is that
after the roads were constructed the mana
gers refused to pay current interest on the
bonds issued TO aid in the construction of
the road. Before it is decided that the
conditions under which the roads were
constructed entItle the pr electors to con-
slider the bonds as a gift-fOr that is what
the Brice bill apparently means-Congress
should discover the source from which the
projectors got their millions. Discussing
this question. the Sonoma County Tribune
says:
Equity is said TO have come to an end with
Lord Chancellor Eldon. But there is evidently
enough of 1t to deal with the case of a subsi-
died railroad which is in default by reason OF
the unlawful diversion OF its funds.
The faith of our contemporary is wholly
admissible. 1t is as refreshing as a sea-
breeze toward the close Of hot summer
day. We trust there will be no disap-
pointment in the case to add to the num-
Der of people who have reached the con.
cusion that equity stands a poor show
against lniQuitous millions.
