The” reorganized Manitoba system is being pushed over the mountains as rapidly s muen and means can do it, whilo the Union Pacific is pushing southwest toward Los Angeles at a steady pace. FOR the time being, patriotic Salva- dorians have lost all interest in the movements of the enemy. All energios are directed toward the capture of Gua- temaln’s fiseal agent, who is hurrying homeward with two million dollars packed away in Lis geip. 1f the patriots succeed in eapturing the boodle, it is be- lieved the assaults of Guatemala will be readily forgiven, constitutional convention of Mis- among its 115 delegates, will not contain a single colored man, The convention meets on the 12th of August, and its object is to dev by which the colored vof will be dis- franchised. About all that is necessary to accomplish this result is to increase the number of Kemper county night ride some scheme ALTHoUGH Senator McPherson of Now Jersey has been put, forward as the leader of the democratic opposition in the senate to the tariff bill, it is not to be doubted that Mr, Carlisle has quite as much as he to do with suggesting amendments and tho arguments in sup- port of them. Nobody needs to be told that the Kentucky senator is the best equipped man on the demoeratic side of the house regarding the tariff, and the fact that ho is not the proelaimed leader in the taviff debate is undountedly due to his recent entrance into that body. But unquestionably his democratio col- lengues are not failing to avail them- solves of his judgment and counsel, Mr. McPherson doubtless ranks next to Carlisle in his knowledge of tariff mat- tors, but he is not strong in debate. OrrosITION has developed in the house committee on po; »s and post roads to the bill providing for the ex- clusion of all lottery matter from the mails,. Two members of the committoe are reported to object to the measure on the ground that the proposed legislation 15 unconstitutional. 1t is quite possible there is something in this point, in view of the fuct that the lottery at which the DILL is especially aimed exists by virtue of the authority of n state exer- clsed under u constitutional provision of the state. At any rate, the objection ought to receive the most careful atten- tion of the best lawyers in fore the proposed measure becomos a law, since to adopt legislation that would not stand in the courts might have worse -results than not to legislate at all on the subject. It would be a very differont matter, of course, if the lottery had no legal status, or existed by virtue of an guthority less than that of a state. congress be- THE REVOLT AGAINST HIGHERDUTIE ‘ Four ropublican senators have had the courage to vote against the majority of their party fn favor of ducing duties provided for in the pond ing tariff bill on certain articles in com- Theso senators represent w orn constituencies almost wholly com- | posed of agricultural producers, and they have ample assurance of the oppo- | sition of these people to the h duties which the new tariff bill pro- poses to place on many manufactured ar- ticles which ibsolutely n in every home.

This is the interpretatior the promises of the party which the re- publicans of the have expected would control the course of the party on the tariff when it came into } they are disappointed and dissatis that such is not the case. The majori party in congre uko no greuter wistake than to disregard this feoling. Western republicans desire no tariff legislation that is not clearly consistent with an adequate protection of Amer- can industries and Americanlabor. They are in favor of whatever is necessary to subserve the intorests and promote the prospority of both. But they do not be- lieve that o policy of this kind requires that industri which have become firmly established and highly profitable under the existing taviff shall be given the power to exact increasod tribute from the people. The west has de- manded and still demands a revision of the tariff, and it insists that it shall be downward and not upward. In this westorn country republicans ave in b mony with theonly rational and logi interpretation of the pledges of the pavty to the country. and urge the only policy which will not be a menace to the stability and potency of the party. UNSEATING OF BRECKINRIDGE. It is probable that the seat in the house of represontatives held by C. R. Breckinridge, reprosenting the Second district of Ark 8, will be declared vacant. A resolution providing for this will aceompuny the reportof the com- mitteo on elections upon the Clagton- Breckinridge contested eleetion ¢ and undoubtedly it will be adopted. Thus one of the most remarkable and interesting cases of contest in the his- of congress will be in the way that just to the louse and to the people of the district ropre- sented by Breckinvidge, whother right- fully or not will never be certainly de- termined, the bullet of an assassin hav r terminated o contest that d all the facts, case is familiar to the publi ¢ have dc MeKinle repub! more westorn “ans indicated 1z0s made wtional war Be vic on the duties, pl its 1 eifl west s can 1 il THE tory of disposed soems would have discls T and is perhaps without a parallel in the bold- ness of the frauds by which the election of Breckinridge was effocted and in the dastavdly erimos that ensued from th efforts of the defeated candidate for con- Colonel Clayton, to investi- gate the fraud. It is a matter ress, of common knowledge that while Clayton W pursuing his in- quiries for evidence with which to sup- port his contest he was assussinated. There could be no reasonable doubt that this deliberate murder was committed by some one of those who were charged with stoaling the ballot boxes and against whom Clayton was acenmulating evidence, but nons of these por arvested, The loeal authoriti little or no effort to discover the nals, and the state authorities attempted to do so without result. Subsequently a negeo detective who was evidence of the election frauds w dered and murderer was charged without trial, Then Bontley, suspected of being one of the ballot-box thieves, was killed, the im- prossion being that he was nagotiating to give evidonea thnt would the uiity pacties, and this matter was not even investigated by the authorities, who appear to have been satisfied with the statement that Bontloy dentally shot by his brother, Another murder growing out of this election was that of Benjumin, a well known repub- lican of Little Rock, and no effort hus been made to discover his murdere 1- though many porsons witnessed the erime, Such is the record of blood that fol- lowed the last election in the Second congress district of Arkansas, and which unquestionably was preceded by frauds of the boldest character.

When a large cor- poration appoints a superintendent or munager to conduet und supervise its business he is usually given full author- ity to hire and discharge the ordinary employ and to recommend those who ated with him in the supor- ion of subordinates. The superintendent schools should sponsible for e assoc of our public by rights be held re the of ney of the teachers and conduct of the scholars, It would be manifestly unreasonable to hola _the superintendent responsible for incompetent or ineflicient teachers if he has no voice in their selection, While the board properly may make se- lections from the teachers recommended by the superintendent, it is decidedly improper to the super- intendent and elect teachers that have. failed to ve his recommendation, Such action can- not fail to have a demoralizing effect. It promotes insubordination and must have very much the same effeet upon the schools that a similar course would havo should corporation officers employ men in disregard of the wishes or recommendations of their managers, RAINBOW BRICE is quictly at work laying his plans to capture the demo- eratic presidential nomination.
