_— EIGHTEENTH YEAR. The Two Great Parties at Logger- heads in the Doubtful Districts. CAN THE SUPREME COURT FIX IT? | Senator Kenna and His Betting Con- stitnency —Chamberlain and His Bride Are on Their Way to England. WASHINGTON Buieav Tie OMARA Bre, | 518 FOURTRENTILSTR WASIINGTO The democrats have not yet given up their purpose to manufacture a majority for them selves in the next he representatives This appears from many movenents on their part in the reported doubtful southern states. In these states they control the election boards, which will make the re turns on which ecrtificates are issued, and in this way they cor tificates districts in cnabled to o were not y be to candidates whe elected, even on the face of the returns, if honestly made, The clerk of the house, General Clark, will have to make up a list of the members of the next and call them to or under the present law, and having reccived returns by which a majority of the democrats would be shown to be elected, would thus pave the way for a democratic organization of the house. The republicans are well aware of this, and iz2 the seriousness of the sit uation. They do not mean to be cheated out of the control of the next house by the return of candidates who were not elected, and, therefore, it is just barely possible that the organization of the next house will lead to trouble, There may be two houses organ ized, and that would be something that has never happened before this, Bach house of congress is the sole judge of the election of its membors, by provision of the coustitution, and it is hard to how even the supreme court can decide between two rival houses and say which one of them ia the legal one. As the law now stands, it would be i the power of the state authori- ties, by issumng eleetion certificates 1o the defeated candidates, untenable grounds or pretexts, to change the po al complexion of congress, by cnab v who did not really obtain a maujority, wize the house, which house, so fraudulently co: stituted, could casily retain control by d ciding contests in its own favor. That this would be done is certain: the controlling party would never count itself out, no matter how strong the eases of the other side might be. Under these circumstances the ofticial re- ports from the alleged doubtful districts in the south are awaited with great anxiety. A UETTING CONSTITUENCY. A gentlemaz who arrived in the city to-day from the west, traveled in a car from Cuni- berland to Washineton in company with Senator Kenna, and_reports that that gen- tleman is very wuch disgruntled over the suceess of the republican ticket. Mr. Kenna is quoted as saying that, in his opinion, the 1088 0f votes in his own State was due to the fact that the niggers and soldiers all voted for the ublican ticket. M Kenna said that the thing v urt hins i was the thought t y of his West Virginia constituents have lost all they pos sessed by staking the the b lief that Clevelind would si himsclf.

The darkies smiled knowingly to their a familiar remarks were passed betwceen them and their friends on the sidewalks, Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlain followed after in the g ernment carrige belonging to the war_de- partment, Mr. and Mrs. Endicott, with o rty of friends, going down to see them off.

For the defensc, Mr Goldzer stated that he had a motion to muke which e was ready to argue at once, so that the teial might go on without interruption next wvek. The motion was to discharge the defendants on the ground that the new dynamite statute, under which they were in dicted, was unconstitutional. The constitu tion, he said, expressly states that no statute shall in¢ ude more than one subject, which subject must be expressed in the title, H read the law, pointing out the fact that the first part of it referred to punishment for the unlawful manufacture and use of ex- plosives, while the latter part coutained police regulations governing the lawful man- ufucture aud use. Mr. Goldzier reminded the court of the decision annulling the Hyu Park annexation, in which the supreme court declared the law unconstitutional because its subject wus not expressed in the title, Then he read a decision of the [ndiana supreme court, annutling a law regulating the manufacture and sale of in- toxicating liquors. One young man who had been fined £ for getting drunk, appealed to the supreme court, and it was ' decided that ov. 23 the law which regulated the sale of iiquor and also fined ham for drinking it was too comprehensive, and therefore null and void, Judge Collins looked the statute o arefully and decided that the subject was sufiiciently expressed i the title. As to the difierent provisions, he said they were nearly igh related to' come under a gencral head. He told Mr. Goldzier to file his mo- tion in writing and he would overrule it, and it could then be taken to the supreme court, if that was desired. S S— 1n Memory of the Manchester Martyrs.

The New York Editor of the Opinion That the Executive's Position on the Tariff Caused His Po- litical Death, What Killed Grover? [Copuright 1958 by James Gordon Beanet?.] Pas, Nov. 23, —[New York Herald Cable Special to Tie Bee.|—Mr. Charles A. Dana has been spending a few days in Par A correspondent ealled upon him yesterday at his apartments in the Hotel Bristol. T conversation Mr, Dana expressed the follow: ing views on American politics “Mr. Cleveland was beaten in the recent contest for the simple reason that a majority of the people chose to vote against him Many things contributed to the result. In the first place, the chances are all against the re-clection of any man as president. Since 1832 only two men have been twice placed in the office of chief magistrate. These werce Lincolu and Grant, and they both were kept in the white house under exceptional civeun- stances. The military record of General Grant made him a public hero, and Abraham Lincoln would n r have been re cted but for the continuance of the PresidentVan Buren was most popular during his first term, and he had the support of Jackson. Yet when he ran for a second termin 1540 he was overwhelmingly de- feated. ‘Therefore, on general principles, in erder to insure a president a secona term of oftice there must be something of special and unusual importance to commend him to pub- lic favor. “Mr. Cleveland had no such element to aid him. On the contrary, he was handicapped in many ways. He had no strong personal friends. He was cordially disliked by the leaders of the democratic party and the po- litical dircetors of the demos Eyen before the election 1do not believe there was & more unpopular person in the United States than he, and after next March, when the game is all over, the universal wonder will be how such a man as Cleveland ever came to fill such a high position. “During bis administration he did nothing to win the confidence and support of his party. In fact, he did not care a copper for the real interests of the democrats. What ne worked and schemed for from beginnin t0 end was the welfare and advancement of Mr. Grover Cleveland. In his manner to- wards his supporters he was always cold and overbearing, and he never by any chance put himself out to be courteous or accommodat- ing. Tic thought himself a man of destiny and so far above his followers that he could kick them about as he pleased. He has finally discovered his mistake. He was always trying to produce a sensation which would make pe ple talk about him. He did not choose any given live of action so much because he believed in it as because he believed in advantages for bimself. He did not dare to veto either the oleomargarine bill or the river and harbor bill, altheugh he was convinced that they both were unwise. He did veto a lot of pen- sion bills because he saw an oppor tunity to set people talking. His knowledge on ail things was superficial, and in many things he made mistakes as to what would really re- bound to his advantage. His negotiation of the fisheries treaty and the extradition treaty did him much harm among the Irish and the fishermen. If he had not been volitically dead already, of course his position on the tariff would have tinished him. *“This last election has forever settled the free trade question. No party can succeed in the United States which wavers in its ad- herence to protection. California wants pro- tection for its wines and woolens and fruits, Alabama wants it for its iron, and so will Colorado in time. The whole west wants it for the manufactures and industries which are springing up there as if by magic. The east has always wanted it, and the south will follow suit. The democrats were beaten in a fair fight because they deServed to be. There was never an election more quiet and orderly. There was never one with less corruption at the polls. The talk about Cleveland having been knifed in New York by Hill and Hewitt is nonsense. Those two men aided rather than injured the presidential candidate. The bitte) ness which arose in New York state by these factional jealousies resulted in draw- ing out an enormous vote, which always helps the democrats. Furthermore, Hill gained thousands of votes among the republicans who were opposed to restricting the sale of liquor, and many such men were thus led to cast a straight democratic ticket. If the democrats had chosen for their candi- date a man without Cleveland’s host of ene- mies, and if they had excluded from their platform anything which might be construed as leaning toward free trade, I think thereis no doubt they would have been successful. As it is they are set back where they were twenty years ago, and they have a repub- lican majority against them in both houses “The Sackville meident had little effcet in opinion on the result. [t came too late. Cleveland's mistake was in nov packing Lord ackville off to England ten days sooner than he did. When the British minister at Washington asserts, as he practically did, that the president of the United States is a fool and demagogue it is high time the queen sent us another representative. “Asto the coming administration, 1 am sure Mr. Blaine will be secretary of state, unless he should refuse. Warner Miller will probably be offered cither the treas- ury or the interior department. Harrison in a decided measure oW his elec tion to the resolute stand taken by Mr. Miller on the liquor question, which drew thousands of votes from the prohibi- tion party, and that was all so much clear gain for the republicans. 1 suppose Harrison will make a clean sweep among democratic ofticeholders.

Loxpoy, Nov. 23 —In the house of com- mons this evening Mr. Sexton asked whether it was true that seven Irish members were about to be prosecuted, and, if so, whether there was any relation between the prosecu tion and the delay in the debate of the Irish stimates. If there was not, he asked if Mr. mith, government leader, would give as surance that the members would not be withdrawn from their parliamentary duties until the estimates were selected. Mr. Smith denied any knowledge of the prosecution. He cortainly desired the mem bers to remain until the estimates were con sidered. He then moved that_ the rule com- pelling adjournment at midnight be sus. pended to enable the house to conclude the debate on the Irish land purchase bill. His motion was carried by a vote of 195 to 150, On_motion to go into committee on the bill, Mr. Parnell proposed an amendment, giving the government power to instruct the land commission to deal with the arrears when fixing the judicial rents. He urged that in view of the fact that it was agreed on all sides that the arrears question must be settled it ought to bo dealt with without de- in conjunction with the quostion of land ‘hase. This done, it would place the ut in a position to contract freely with the landlord, protecting the exchequer against loss, and give the Ashbourne act the best possible chance to work with smooth- ness. Mr. Smith contended that the course which Mr. Parncll proposed would place the tenant 1 a distinetly worse position than be. fore, by recognizing the arrears as a charge that' might continue to hang around his neck even after completing his purchase. Now, after the contract for purchase had been agreed upon, the arrears became ipso facto wiped out. Mr. Parnell's vote of 182 to 148, Sir B, Waller Foster (liberal) moved to reduce the amount of the grant asked for to L150,000,000, Sir George that a noblem of the motion was rejected by a Trevylan said he had heard 1 connectod with the ministry had already received £200,000, and that Lord Londonderry would benefit by the measure. Goschen repudiated Trevylan's insinuation. After further debate the motion was re- jected by a vote of 212 to 154 — o THE PARNELL COMMISSION, An Inspector of Police Testifies For the Times. Loxnox, Nov. 23.—At the sitting of the Pacnell commussion, to-day, Inspector of Police Higgins testified concerning the out- rages at Castle Island, County Kerry. Re- suming, he quoted from statistics, showing that from November, 1882, to September, 1854, 160 outrages were committed. On cros examination the witness said_he believed the farmers’ sons committed the outrages in order o evade the payment of rent. He knew of twenty bogus outrages. He was not aware that men had cconmved to damage their own_property in order to secure com- pensation from the quarter session. He did not think that all the outrages were due to secroet socletics. Some of them were the re- alt of family quarrels, or of private malice. He had connected the league with moonlight- mg, because prior to the existence of the league Kerry had been peaceful. Mr. Reid, counsel for the Parnellites, asked: “What is your ground for assuming this connectiont” Witness—At every'meeting of the league the landlords and baillffs were denounced, As a consequence, both 6f these classes ber came unpopular, and nearly every man who has been murdered belonged to either one class or the other. Lockwood, of the Parnellites’ counsel, then asked the witness how long he had been en- gaged in getting up a case for the Times, Sir Henry James, counsel for the Times, objected to the question, whereupon Sir Charles Russell exclaimed warmly: “We charge and intend to prove that the whole executive authority, even including the resi- dent_magistrates, 18 engaged in getting up the Times case. The witness then denied that the Times had employed him. ey The Relchstag. Brruiy, Nov. 23 —Herr von Levetso, con- servative, was to-day elected president of the reichstag by a vote of 271 out of a total of 231 ballots recorded. Nine ballots were blank.

CnicaGo, Nov. 23.—The Evening Journal says: The report that the Canadian Pacific railroad has maude arrangements to run trains into Chicago is corroborated by J. Francis Lee, the commercial agent of the company in this city. In answer to inquiries made this morning, Mr. Lee said: “The Canadian Pacific has made all its arrangements to that end. It is now build- ingaroad between London and Windsor, Ont., to connect at Detroit with the Wabash system. It will run trains into the city over the Wabash tracks, and will connect termi- nal facilities in connection with that system.” ‘Have any arrangements been reaching Chicago from the northwest, say from St. ul, as reported “1 know of no such arrangements, and do not think it has been thought of. Tdo not see what object there would be in such a scheme. The ‘Soo’ route1s our great card for northwest trade, but there isan enor- wous business from Chicago to the seaboard, the New England states and New York, and that is what we_are coming here for. By connecting_with the Wabash system the Cunadian Pacific will be able to get here and compete for that trade, We expect to have everything in shape in abouta year from now. We will probably be running trains in here by this time next year.” The Waoash system enters Chicago by way of Bement, leaving the main line at that place, 133 miles south of this city. In approaching Chicago from that direction the Canadian Pacific has stolen a march on the veople, who were very naturally expecting it w make an entrance from the north, and were. it is understood, ready to make a hard fight against it.

Nov. 23, —An instance almost as strange as fiction itself occurred in the 1 icense department at the recorder’s Wednesday. About fifteen years pr vious to the late civil war a colored man, who now gives the name of Anthony Hdwards, and who was then married after the custom of those times, resided with his master in Pike county, Missouri. From some cause not known to Fdwards his master sold him to a southern planter, but retained possession of his wife and one child, the only result of the marriage. After reaching the south Ed- wards lost all trace of his wife and former master and child. After the war he remarried, as did his wife, His second wife dying, he drifted to St, Louis several years ago, and by a peculiar coincidence his wife, having lost ner second husband, also came to this city, the daughter by the Pike county or slave marriage asccompanying her. The daughter, having received some intimatiou thut her father was in St. Louis, made indefatigablo efforts to find him, and after about threo years' search sncceeded in locating him ut Edwardsville, The result was a mecting he- tween her father and mother, after scpar tion of over thirty-five years.
