it furnishes no good roison for msumlng
tint the ropubliean vote is ro illy any

"Into u as of brief ciijojmcMit. The ver
dict of Mtrlno swept it uvv.iy coinplotoly ,
nnd now ( lie odoinoci'ttttc organs are en-
( Ir.ivoriny ; to explain thoHplondld repub
lican ticlnry in tlm Bay state by clurff-
ing that it wan the work of money.
Yet it is tinqucstioiuiblo that for every
dollar Hpi'irt there by the ropubllc.iiis
the dunrourats put out one hundred
cents , and especially w.is this the ease In
the Fit it dibit-lot , represented by Speaker
Heed. Never was there a more vigor
ous und determined otToit to dofo-it
a candidate thnn was made
by tbo domociatic maiiapets to defotit
Mr. Icod. { Tiio chairman of the natiotml
cotmnlttoc , Senator Gormin of Mary
1 mil , sent thousands of dollar : , into thnt
district , n single millionniio democratic
senator being credited with having1 given
o\or twenty thousind dollars to bousoJ
entirely against Raod. There is reason
to believe that bo far as the First district
of Miiino is concerned the domoarats
npont more money tbcio than the
republicans. But the republicans
wore well org'ant/.od nnd their dis-
tiiiK'tilshed le.uiori did not permit their
inlotvst in the eaniii.iign to t\ug. \ The
ic'hitlt attests the valuoof their olTorts.
There is an obvious los&on in these re
cent political events which appeals to
the consideration of lepubliuans every-
vvhoro. The chief danger to the pirty
in the republican states is from either
ap itlry or ovcr-confldcnco. So far as the
principles to ha contended for are con
cernedthe claim of the republic in party
to confidence nnd support is as strong1 as
It his ever bjen , nnd thoio is lib-
holutoly nothing in the rcuont conduct
of the leaders of the domocUMcy , or in
the promises to bo inferred , from the
course of the loprosontnllvos of that
party in congiess , to warrant any change
of opinion rojrardlnr its ability or its
willingness to cotisorvo and prornoto tire
Interests of the people and the welfare
of the country. The courio of tlio party
in congress lias shown that it has no sincere -
core concern for the general good , and
especially Unit its professions of icgaid
for the gioat fiii-ininy chuss are inoinlng-
los-j mid dishonest. The duty of repub
lican loaders lb so plain as not to rrquiio
particular elucidation , and if faithfully
performed the column of republican
state- * will remain inttrct.

It goes without sajiug that the present -
ont primary election law is dofcctivo in
many points. Wo doubt , however ,
whether the regulations uroposod by the
Seventh ward republican club can bo
legally enforced befoio the piosont law
is amended so as to ncuord with the pio-
posed reform It Is doubtful whether
any republic in em ba logallV dlsfi-m-
chlsod at a prhmry olocllon because ho
is not a member of a lopubllcan cluh , un-
lest Indeed that should bo made a pio-
loquibito qualillcition by the republican
state and county central committees.
For Instance , the republican state
central coinmittoo issues a call
for u btato convention to bo
composed of a given numborof delegates
in the respective conation. All republi
c-ins , Iriobpectivo of faction , are invited
to send representation , and it Is OK-
pected tliat free access will bo ghcn to
all lopublicans to paitielpato In the
primaries.
If the county or wnrd coinmittoo
should take upgn Itself to o\eludo 10-
publicans who tire not members of clubs ,
they would do so \lolnlionof thoHtitto
committee's call and lay u foundation
for n contest In the courts and in the
convention.
'Jho object of all primary elections Is
to gho fieo Bcopo to members
of the party for tin untrum-
mclcd choice of candidates , nnd
nfter a free ballot anil a fair count Is had
to proclaim the choice of the majority ,
and exact ndhoslon to this choice at the
election. Tlio only conditions that can
bo prescribed under our primary law
must relate to the political standing of
the voter and his past and future bup-
port of part } * candidates.
Years ago before any primary law was
enacted , TUB 13uu advocated a radical
reform of primaries by registration of
the members of each piuty. When this
reform was adopted by the republican
county central committee , It pro
voked the opposition of what was
then known as the railroad
gang that had controlled and debauched
our primaries by promiscuous voting
and orgnnbod repeaters. The result
was that tbo rlrst primary under regis
tration was a .series of rowdy raids nnd
riots. Judges of olootioti were \loiontly
assiultod , ballot boxes were smashed
and peaceable voters were drhon frpm
the polls by rowdies. Finally a suniolont
number of conrmlttcomon were bought
outright with corporation boodle aud
tire registration system was overthrown
and revoked.
Such outrages can no longer bo per
petrated now that primaries are
under legislative control , but the
reulstrnllon of voters would inotii'opln- '
Ion effect tlio reforms nought to bo no
oompllHhcd by the fjjvonlh ward ropiib *

The board of registration could bo
clothed with power to examine into tlio
political at unling nnd qii'illtlcatloiiH of
each votor. MombjiMlrlpln u republic m
club would boprhmi fucio nroofof liU right

deprive him of his frjinohiso if ho can

rules would of ujiifdo tipply to membersj
of other parties.
Such a ( system would effectually wtop
promiscuous voting and repeating ut

The sonnto hns passed two bills pio-
viillng for nlrip iiuljsldleri , Ono of those
proposes a tonnage bounty itnJ the oLhor
unices provision for subsidies In the
form of rntill contracts. Tire llr t applies
to all classes ofossoln \ ubovo a ( ortaln
tonnage , while the other meismo wills
for thoconstrucllon of fitoainships of a
specified clurjictor , whith could bo niailo
a\alhillo ) in an emergency as war \osaels.
Both of these bills touched a good ma
jority In the semite , mrd their stii-
poitors woto sanguine that they would
pass tlio house , where they have now
bten for nearly or qulto two months.
Thoie has boon no Inthnition , hoiv-
o\er , that they are llkoly to got through
Htthopicsont hoislon , and tlio liullcu-
tions are tliat they will bo ullowod to go
o\or. It Is iiccodsiry that sornothlng
sh ill be saerilitod if the nntl.iial trots-
uiy . in not to experience a deficit , and it
isquito prob iblo thnt the loulors of the
majority in the house hive docidcd that
it Is the most oxpoliont tiling to dote
to postpone tlio subsidy bills. They
\\ouldrotinlrobomorthoiofroni three to
iho nilllion dollars nlthln thonott yoir ,
und iiftorn arils a considerably larger
amount , nnd o\on socomp.iralivcly srndl
a sum as this niiy just sive thu tovcnuos
of the governnront from falling below
the oxponillturod. It is oviihmb that Iho
treasury is going to have a very close
shave as His , unless the president should
as a matter of sifety vote the twonty-
IHo million dollar river and hnrbor
bill , and under suoh oiicuiiBtiineos
the adoption of a ship subsidy
pol'cy 1 ' would bo mtlior hazardous from a
party 1 point of view , Besides , man } of
the J mombsrs of the majority in the
house in \ hesitate , and vorj reasonably
bO , about giving their approval to a sys
tem which the ) would Hnd no llttlo dllli-
culty In justifying to their constituents ,
pirticulatly those of the west and noith-
west , who would not be easily coiivincocl
that it would bj in the goncral iutciest
to UBO the public nnnoy In this n ay. It
is quite likely , thetofoio , that the sulvo-
crtes of ship sulmdics have boon in
duced to nbito the pressure for this leg
islation und jvwait a rnoro auspicious time
for renewing it.
The longer the subsidy schemes are
dolajod tlio loss chance they should hive
of succeeding , but It must bo confessed
that their promoters have secured n , very
decided advantage in getting them
through the bonato. If the house docs
not act upon them at tlio piosont session ,
which scorns probable , it Is very likely
to do so ut the next. Sloantinio thobo
who are opposad to the policy , as wrong
rn principal and coi-tain to place a large
and growing buidon on the nntloniil
treasury , bhould not bo inactive.
TUB September crop report of the do
p irtuietit of agriculture does not show
any improvement In the ciop conditions
in the country. The belief that rocotit
favorable weather had in it orially im
proved maturing grain and mitigated
the effect of diought , is notsustiincd by
the loport. On the contrary , a decline
of two points Is noted in the condition of
corn , The average is now placed at
bovonty per cmt , tire lowest MIICO 1881.
Fuvouiblo r.iins during A ugust t-amo too
Into to do any great good , and the bulk
of the crop needs fiostloss vveuthor
during the present month to fully ma
ture. This is lurdly piobablo , and n
further loduction In the average is ex
pected , livery corn growing stnto is
moro or less nITectcd , with Kansas nt the
front of the list. The ayoncios a'lect- '
ing corn caiisod like damage to all
coreils and root crops , particular ! } po-
titocs , the average Ihis year being tlio
lowest in cnty-lhroo yours. Increased
prices for all grain will , however , moro
than rntiko up tire deficit in quantity. In
actual value the reduced ciop of 18'JO ' exceeds -
coeds the enormous crop of 18SJ.
Tine latest order ot business

eludes u bill for the relief of thosupiomo
court of the Unite 1 States. This nutter
has Occupied the attention of congrasi
from time to time for a number of } oars ,
and the urgency for some legislation bus
steadily grown. Tire rtitoof this growth
is Hlrown by the fact that between Goto-
her , 1881 , and tlio wuiro month inlSSl ) ,
the cases on the docket increased from
nine hundred and four to eleven hundred
and eighty. The clour remedy for this
practical denial of justice Is toorgani/o
a now Intermediate appellate court , or to
dollno rigidly and restrict the class of
casas In which appeal may bo made. A
bill deslgnudto rflvo the iiotxlod relief
