The investigations oi the senate committee regarding the operation of the law disclosed a great deal of hostil- Mty to it, particularly in New England, and it is from that quarter that the most effort is to U expocted in favor of repealing the law or changing it in very material re- spects, Whether this opposition will obtain any considerable support from any other quarter remains to be seen. As to the result of an attempt to re- peal the law there be no doubt. In the Iast congress Representative Morse, of Massachusetts, introduced a bill for this purpose, only to dis- cover that he could not rally a cor- voral’s guard to its support. It is al- 1y understood that another Massa- chusetts congressman will intro- duce a similar bill in the next congress, and doubtless with a like experience. The composition of the Fifty-first con- gressis not so greatly different from that of its predecessor asto warrant the expectation that it will show any ex- tensive change of seatiment respecting the policy of maintaining the pranciple of the inter-state commerce act, it be- ing sufe to presume that a very large majority of the new mombers are favor- able to the act. But with regard to modifying certain provisions of the act, generally deemed the most vital. there may be some dun- ger. It is quite possible that proposi- tions to modify the anti-pooling and long and short haul clauses will find a formidable support in congress. The raileoad interests quite generaily will exert their influence in favor of modi- fying the former and some will do the same as to the latter, while theee is un- questionably a public sentiment els whero than in New England favorable to modifying the long and short haul clause. We believe, however, that the groat preponderance of sentiment in the conntry is against any change in these provisions of the inter-state aot that witl reduce their nd that this will make itself so strongly felt as to defeat any attempt to emasculate the law, A great deal, however, will depend upon the character of the report which the senate comwmitte shall make. and still more, perhaps, upon the views which the inter-state commerce com- mission shall submit to congress. If the public expressions of Chairman Cooley may be accepted as reflecting the judgment of the entire com- mission there will be no influence from that source favorable to a modification of the anti-pooling and long and short haul clauses. Judge Cooley is dis- tinetly on record as favoring these pro- visions ol the law, and in ono of his latest plain and forcible talks to the railroad managers he said that while it was to be admitted that the inter-state commerce aet is not perfect, the amend- ments required are such as would strengthen the princivles it embodies and helpto theirsurer enforcement. In view of this it reasonable to expect that any recommendations made to congress by the commission will have erence to making the law stronger and the provisions for its enforcement broade But, in any event, it will be well for the Iriends of the inter-state commerce act to be on the guard. The every probubility that it will be ver vigorously attacked, and while there is no dnuger of its being destroyed, th is o possibility of its being weakened in its most vital featurs vigorous can foree. CHALMERS Gene WITHDRAWS. James R. Chalmers, the re- publican candidate for governor of Mississippi, has withdrawn, He did this to avert bloodshed. He had sev- al times been warned that if he con- tinued the convass the killing of negroes would commence and it wonld be charged to him. In eve way he has harrassed enterved upon his eampaign. Not long he visited the town of West where he was asked to make and consented to do s0. But he could secure no hall in which to hold a meeting, the mayor would not allow speaking in the streets, owners of prop- erty would not allow it to be used for the purpose, and General Chalmers was not heard at West Point. He wrote to a friend as to the chances of being allowed to speak in the town of Columbus. and wus advised to keep away from that piace. He was informed that che universal sentiment of the community was that he would be neither fairly nor kindly treated. “I have heard the best men,” wrote this friend of General Chalmers, “men who are vegarded as conserva- tive, say that you would be personully abused if you attempted to sp Columbus. Indeed, threats of violence are openly made by many and applauded by others. The representative negroes have requested me to beg of you that you do not go to Columbus, as they, however innocent, will have to suffer from the imagined wrongs that it is said you do ‘our civilization,”” Finding, this to be the general state of affaivs in Mississippi, General Chalmers decided that the only course for him was to withdraw. He might have been willing to face shot- guns in the hands of Mississippi demo- crats if only his own life had been ut stake, but he did not wish to put the lives of others in peril, No elaboration is necessary to point the moral of this circumstance, or to give force to the testimony it bears re- garding the spirit and character of Mis- sissippl democracy. General Chal- mers was prominent in the confederate cause and has en- joyed the fullest confidence of the friends of that cause, Were he a democratic candidate he would be honored everywhere in Mississippi by the dominant element. But having itentified himself with the republican party he is everywhere denied a public hearing, his personal safety threatened and the lives of his fricuds and sup- possibie been since he since Point, a speech porters endangered. Mississippl democ- racy now stands supreme for relent- less intolerance. Unfortunately for General Chalmers he is not wholly blameless for this state of affairs. e has encouraged it in the past, and can hardly be surprised that the lessons he taught are now applied to his own dis comfiture. But nonc the less his ex- perience is instructive as evidence of the present hopelessness of republican- fsm in Mississippi. P THERE WAS NOTHING IN IT. It has been reported that the dele- gates of Chili and the Argentine Re- public to the congress of the Americas were very much opposed to the eléction of Secretary Blaine as president of tho congroess, and that in consequence there of these two countries not boeing represented in the covference. The enemies of Mr. Blaine have made the most of this story, but it turns out that it had not the lenst foundation in fact. The Chilian minister 18 author- ity for tho statement that there was no opposition whatever to Mr. Blaine personally, the only question being as to whether he could properly be chosen to preside over the congress, not boinge a delegate. When it was de- cided that hisselcetion would be propor there was no opposition whatever, and the minister says that with one accord all the delegates are pleased with his selection. There can be no doubtof the propriety oravproprinteness of Mr. Blaine presid- ing over the Pan-American congrass, A precedeat for his domg so is supplied by the fact that Bismarck was president of asimilar conference held in Berlin in 1878, and Mr. Blaine is entitled to this consideration by virtue of his hav- ing originated the projectof holding the congress. Of his fitness, also, there can be no question. His hrief address at the organization of the congres: s0 judicious and tactful that it received nothing but cordial commen- dation, and his superior ability as a presiding officer is well known. other man has the qualifications to make a moro favorable impression upon the foreign delegnte: The will reassemble November with perfeer harmony ood feeling among its members, and in that spirit will undoubtedly continue to the close of its deliberations, THE NEW REGISTRATION. here is danger that of our citizens will be disfranchis the coming ciection. The registi law is uwot only very string badly adapted to the wants of a larg city. To begin with, it resiricts registra- tion to certain days and fixed hours. 1t is alnost out of Guestion that the twen- ty-five thousand- voters in Omaha and South Omaha can be registered in the time to which the law limits the reg- istears, even if the provisions are not rigidly complied with, The great ma- jority of our voters are wage-workers. They cannot possibly leave their wo in the middle of the day to get them- selves registered, The only hours in which registrars will sit in the evening is between 7 and 9oclock for ome day of ewch of four weeks before election. The law pro- hibits vegistration after 9 p. m. With the numerous questions which are to be propounded to each voter, the most expert vegistrar will not be able to reg more than fifty voters in two hours, or two hundred in the four days. The re- sult will be that move thau one-half the legal electors of this city will be dis- franchised. While the law does not absolutely prohibit citizens who are not registered from voting at an elcction, there is so much red-tape and affidavit making re- quired as a condition for allowing an unvegistered citizen to vote that it witl malke it next to impossible for citizens whose time is limited to excrcise their rights. Thers is a bare possibility, however, that this registration law may be de- elared void by the courts on account of radical defeets. But it will not do for voters to count upon that. Fach and every must present himself in person before the vegistrars and regi ter. Otherwise he will not be given a voice in the coming election. UNDER a recent legisiative eu ment trusts are illegal in Missouri. he law declares it to be a conspicac punishable by fine and imprisonment to enter into any trust ov combination to regulate or fix the price or quan- tity of any article of werchan- dise to be manufactured, nd it prohibits corporntions from owning or issuing trust certificates, and declares any contracts made with that object in view to be in violation of law. Oper- ating under this law the secretary of state, whose duty it is to se t the enactment is enforced, has addressed circulars to officers of corporations doing business in the state, requiring them to inform him under oath whether they h since the enuct- ment, complied with its provisions, [t was dange No in and congress rge number or voter will be interesting to note what the officers will have to say, for there is no doubt that in many cases they have violated the law.
