IN LINE FOR THE NIGHT

1t is evident that both OF the great Polit
lcal parties are lining up slowly Tor the con.
test of November 9Th, which Is to decide
whether the Democrats or the Republicans
will control the House of Representatives
in the Fifty sixth Congress.
Incidentally the control of the Senate is
TO be decided also by the election Of State
Legislatures, which will elect United States
Senators, but the Democratic managers do
not dispute that the straightout Republicans
will have a clear working majority over all
opposition in the next Senate
Interest is therefore centered 10 the selec-
ton Of representatives, and the political stu.
alton is so confused in most OF the States
that the only prediction that can safely be
made at this time is that neither the Demo-
Gratis nor the Republicans will have large
majority in the House. Which one of the
two parties will have small majority it is
impossible TO predict.

THE Ora WORD COUNTY SYSTEM,

The Baltimore Neaos says: The Demo.
Gratis of Montgomery county are reported TO
be contemplating change from the Craw.
ford county system Of conducting primary
meetings, which is alleged to have proved
inadequate. In one or two other counties
OF the State the same kind OF movement has
been started, and there Is reason to believe
that 1t will become general if the politicians
are allowed 10 have their way. There is
nothing the matter with the Crawford coun
ty system of primary meetings except that
1t interferes sometimes with the plans Of
those who would prefer 70 control the dele
cations and find that they cannot always
have their way when the people attend the
primaries and vote as they please The Craw.
lord county system gives every rightlul mem.
Der oil the party fair opportunity to vote
The open primary throws the whole power
into the hands of the managers and gives
opportunity for abuse, examples of which
have been only too fragrant in the past. 1t
is In the open primary that the west pocket"
delegations are created, and it is 10 break up
that kind of politics that the era wford coun-
ty system was invented. Surely Montgom
cry county does not want 10 go back to the
west pocket" system

THE STRONGEST GOVERNMENT
ON EARTH.

There were two demonstrations which are
having greater effect than even the splen
did achievements Of our navy and volunteer
army In exciting the surprise and admira-
ton Of the great powers" of Europe. One
Is the entire unanimity of our people, of all
sections and classes, in supporting the gov
eminent 10 the prosecution of the war with
Spain, and the other is the unlimited credit
and resources OF the government, as attested
by the readiness and even eagerness with
which It's great popular loan was subscribed
TO several times over.
So long as these conditions remain unim-
paired the United States must rank as the
strongest nation in the world, and be re
spected accordingly. The alacrity with
which volunteers all over the country re.
sponded to the call of the government, and
the excellent lighting qualities which they
displayed after only few weeks training,
attest that We have no need of large, ex-
penslve standing army, such as all European
powers have TO maintain, at great ex pense
70 their people, as cneckmate upon each
other. Their ponderous military systems
cause an exhaustive drain upon their re-
sources, strain their credit to the utmost
tension, and are source OF ever threatening
discomfort 10 their people. Happily, We are
now entirely Tree OF such dangerous con.
ditions, and may long continue so il polit.
ical demagogues and sectional mischief.
makers are suppressed.
The existing restoration OF confidence and
good feeling between the several sections OF
the country is essential to the maintenance
of this happy condition. The politician
who attempts to disturb 1t by appeals TO
sectional prajudices and passions or race
antsgonisms is moral traitor aud should
be 30 regarded and treated by the people

Willard's Estate.

New YORK, Feb. 2l.-The funeral
service over the remains of Miss
Frances E. Willard, president of the
Worlds and National Woman's Christ
ian Temperance union, took place in
the Broadway tabernacle yesterday.
The service was held in this city by the
official decree of the Woman's Christ
ian Temperance union.
On Thursday next a service will be
held at Evanston, Ill. Before final in
terment takes place, however. the body
will lie in state in Willard hall, at the
w. c. L. L. temple in Chicago, proba-
bly, n greater portion of Wednesday
next, and while en- route to the west
ern metropolis will also lie in state for
a short time in Churchville, \. Y, Miss
Wizards birthplace.
The church was crowded, among the
attendants being many women from
neighboring states, representing the
state unions.
great number of floral tributes had
been received, and these, together with
palms, were used as decorations in the
church.
Such names as those of Helen Gould,
Susan b. Anthony, Rev. Anna Shaw
and many of the w. c. T. Us promi-
nent world representatives were writ
ten on the cards attached to the floral
gifts. In pursuance of a cablegram
sent by Lady Henry Somerset to Miss
katherine l.. Stevenson, the corre-
spending secretary of the national or
ganization at Chicago, a bunch of white
roses were placed over the heart of the
dead temperance refOrmer.
Miss Wizards request that her fu-
neral service be simple was carried out.
Portions of the Scripture which Miss
Willard loved most were read, her IA
vOrite hymns were sung and the Meth
odist Episcopal funeral service was
read. Rev. F. 5. Tipple, pastor of st.
James Methodist Episcopal church,
was the principal officiating clergy
man. He was assisted by Bishop John
Newman and others.
Presidents of. state organizations, of
which Miss Willard was the national
head, were the honorary pallbearers.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Feb 21.-
The steamer North Pacific from Sc
attic, en- route to Alaska, is still here
and is likely to remain for some time.
Half way across the straits of Fuca
the steamer was forced to put back on
account of the heavy seas, which
caused her to ship large quantities of
water. Then all but three of the steam
er's crew deserted, and also the passen-
gers, who numbered 12O. They de-
clined to proceed further on the steam
er ,as they were convinced that she is not
seaworthy.
The managers telegraphed to Seattle
for new crew Unless prevented by
the authorities the managers say that
they will start north as soon as the
new crew arrives and the weather
moderates, and that the passengers who
do not want to go can stay behind, but
no money will be refunded.
When asked by passengers to pre-
vent the steamer from continuing it's
northward voyage, Collector of Gus
toms Huestis said that as she had been
regularly licensed by the official in
spectOr of boilers and carrying duly
licensed officers, he would not inter

The Assessment ouestlon.

j. w. Braid, of Davidson county, has
filed a bill in the Chancery Court
against Len K. Hart, trustee, which has
for its object the bringing up of the
question of assessment of railway prop
erty before the State court. Braid
seeks TO recover portion of the money
paid in taxes on real and personal prop
erty, which he has paid under protest.
He claims his property was assessed at
its cash value, whereas property in
many other counties in the State is as
sessed as low as go per cent. of its cash
value; that railway, telephone and tele-
graph companies are taxed at not over
IS per cent. of their cash value, and
that this is in contravention of the
State constitution, which guarantees
equal taxation to all citizens, etc. Braid
claims that the corporations are given
advantages over other taxpayers, in
that they are allowed to come before
the equalizers and make arguments as
TO the correctness of assessments. The
fight will be carried to the Supreme
Court.

Desperate Deed of Lawbreakers Resisting
Arrest.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Feb. 21.-E. G..
Massey, prominent citizen and con-
stable of Franklin township, Little
River county, was murdered in a horri-
bI manner at point six miles from
Ashdown, Saturday night, by Ned
Aiken and his son and two negroes he
was trying to arrest. Massey was shot
from ambush, his lungs being torn
from his body by the bullets.
Massey had previously arrested
Charley Johnson Aikens' son-in-law.
for carrying a pistol, and Johnson had
escaped. About midnight Constable
Massey and Richard Dickens, a deputy,
started to Aikens' house to arrest
Johnson.
Arriving near the house, the officers
were fired upon from ambush and Mas

torn to pieces with bucl1shot and Wiz
chester balls.
At the same time the negroes rushed
from under cover and opened fire upon
Dickens, but he put spurs to his horse
and escaped. Excitement runs high
