In the Fifth Louisiana District, now rep
resented by Mr.. Boatner. the practical
effect Of which Is to declare the seat
vacant. The conclusion reached by the
committee was that there had been so
much fraud. violence. and intimidation
at the polls as to invalidate the election.
In other words, that there had been no
free expression of the popular will. as
shown by the evidence.
There will be two reports-a majority
one. signed by the Republicans; aid a
minority one. signed by the Democrats.
The majority report will be made by Mr..

thereafter before the case win be taken
up in the House.

Now that congress has adjourned
and Grover can show his hand he
permits the information to be her
aided abroad that Cuba has moth
ing to hope from the action of the
administration. The reason that
is given for this action is not cred
liable either to the president or
his advisors, as it assumes that
the president is better judge OF
the wants Of he country and of its
disposition in the arrangement OF
its foreign affairs than the con-
gress OF the people. When action
is predicated upon the disposition
of congress to do other than as the
presidential mind desires, then it
is the president and not congress
that legislates for the country.
This is not the work that the coun-
try requires or expects OF it's presi-
dent. The president is elected to
see that the will of the people as
expressed in acts of congress is
carried out, and not to smother his
intentions until congress adjourns
and then show his hand, conscious
that il his intentions were really
known then congress would COM
pei otherwise. There may be moth
ing of an Improbable character in
this, but it shows a wilfulness on
the part of the chief magistrate of
the nation that would degenerate
into downright usurpation If the
way was clear.

This change is in contemplation,

it does show in clear letters what is
to be the natural result of securing
