INTEll-STATE J/llf TIJJIBATEiVBD.
There are indications Ihal n vtgoroui
effort will bo rnndo during the coming
ecwsion of congress to repeal the inter
etnto commerce lnwnnd that falling , ai
undoubtedly it would , to secure such r
modification of its most vital provision )
as would practically destroy ita Useful
ness. The investigations of the sonatt
committee regarding the operation o
the law disclosed n great deal of hostll
ily to it , particularly In Now England
nnd it is from that quarter tha
the most vigorous effort U to b <
expected in favor of repealing the Inv
or changing it in very material i'C' '
spects. Whether this opposition wll
obtain any considerable support frott
any other quarter remains to be soon.
As to the result of nn attempt to re
peal the law there can bo no doubt
In the last congress lloproaonlatlvf
Morse , of Massachusetts , introduced i
1)11 ) ! for this purpose , only to ills
cover that ho could not rally a cor
poral's guard to its support. U Is al
ready understood that another Massa
chusetts congressman will itjtro
duce n similar bill in the next congress
and doubtless with a like experience ,
The composition of the Fifty-first con
gtcss Is not so greatly different frotr
that of its predecessor as to warrant tin
expectation that it will show tiny extensive
tensive change of .sentiment , respecting
the policy of maintaining the principle
of the intor-stato commerce nut , it being -
ing safe to presume that a very largo
majority of the new members arc favor
able to the act.
But with regard to modifying ccrtair
provisions of the act , generally dcemet
the moat vital , there may bo some dan
ger. It is quite possible lhat proposi
tions to modify the anti-pooling anil
long and bhort haul clauses will find i
formidable support in congress. Tlu
railroad interests quite gononxlly wil
exert their influence in favor of modi
fying the former nnd some will do the
same as to the latter , while there is un
questionably u public sentiment else
where than in Now England favorable
to modifying the long and short hau
clause. Wo believe , however , that tin
great preponderance of santimcn
in the country is against any chinrgo it
these provisions of the intor-stalo ao
that will reduce their force , and that tlii :
will make itself o btrongly felt as t <
ttofcat any attempt to emasculate tin
law.
law.A
A great deal , however , will depeni
upon the character of the report wind
the senate coinmitto shall make , am
still more , perhaps , upon the viewi
which the Inter-state commerce com
mission shall submit to congress. I
the public expressions of Chnirnint
Cooley may bo accepted as relloctinf
the judgment of Iho entire com
mission ihcro will bo no influence fron
thatsourco favorable to u tnodilicatior
of the anti-pooling and long and shot-
haul claubos. Judge Cooley is dis
tinctly ou record as favoring these pro
visions ot the law , and in ono of hi :
latest plain and forcible talirs to tin
railroad managers ho said that while it
was to be admitted that tlio inter-state
commerce act is not perfect , the amend
ments required are such as wouli
strengthen the principles it cmbodie
nndholptothoirsurer enforcement. It
view of this it is reasonable ti
expect that any recommendations mode
to congrcbs by the commission willhavi
reference to making the law strongo
and the provisions for its cnforcoinon
broader.
But , in any event , it will bo well foi
the triends of the inter-stato commorci
act to bo on their guard. There i
every probability Unit it will bo vorj
vigorously attacked , and while there i
no Unngor of its being destroyed , then
is ti possibility of its being weakened ii
its most vital features.

General James R. Chalmers , the re
publican candidate for governor o
Misbissippi , has withdrawn. Ho di <
this to avert bloodshed. Ho had several
oral times been warned that if ho con
tinued the convass the killing o
negroes would commence and it wouli
be charged to him. In every possible
way he has boon harrassed since hi
entered upon his campaign. Not lone
since ho visited the town of Wes
Point , whore bo was asked to maki
a bpoech and consented to d (
so. But he could secure IK
hall in which to holi
a meeting , the mayor would not allov
speaking in the streets , owners of property
orty would not allow it to bo used foi
the purpose , nnd General Chalmers wai
not hoard at West Point.
IIo wrote to a friend asto the chance ;
of being allowed to speak in the towi
of Columbus , and was advised to kccj
away from that place. Ho was informei
that the universal Bcntimont of the
community was that ho would b <
neither fairly nor kindly treated
"I have heard the best men , " wrote
this friend of General Chalmers
"mon who are rogtirdod as consorva
live , say lhat you would bo porsonalb
abubod if you attempted to spank in
Columbia. Indeed , throats of violence
are openly made by many and applaudoi
by others. The"representative negroes
have requested mo to bog of you thu
you do not go to Columbus , as they
however innocent , will have to suffoi
from the imagined wrongs tha
it is said you do 'our civilization. "
Finding , this to be the general slati
ot all'alrs in Mississippi , Genera
Chalmers decided that the onli
course for him was -withdraw. . H <
might have been willing to face shot
guns in the hands of Mississippi demo
crnts If only his own Ufa had boon a
stake , but ho did not wish to put the
lives of others in peril.
No elaboration is necessary to poln
the moral ot this circumstance , or ti
give force to the testimony it hours re
gnrding the spirit and character of Mis
slsslppi dtmocraoy. General Chul
mars was prominent in tin
confederate cause and has en
joyed the fullest confldonco o
the friends of that cituso , Wore he
a domocrutiu candidate lie would bt
honored everywhere in Mississippi bj
the dominant element. But having
Uontlficd himself with the republican
party ha is everywhere denied n publh
hearing , his personal safety throatonor
and the lives ot his friends and. blip-
porters endangered. Mississippi nomoc
racy now stands supreme for relent
less intolerance. Unfortunately tot
Gonornt Chalmers ho is not wholly
blameless for this stuto of affairs. Hi
has encouraged it in the past , and can
hardly bo surprised that the lessons In
taught nro now applied lo his own dls
comllturo. But none the lean his ex
porlonco is instructive as evidence o
the present hopelessness of republican
ism in Mississippi.
Tiimtn WAS scoTinxa- rr.
It 1ms been reported that the dele'
gates of Chili nnd the Argentine Ho
public to the congress of the A' oiiwii ;
were very much opposed to the oler/tlbr
of Secretary Blulnc ns president of Ihc
congress , and that in consequence then
was danger of these two countries no
being represented In the coi.Terence. .
Tlio enemies of Mr. Blaine have tiuuli
the most of this story , but it turns ou
that it had not the Icnst foundation ii
fact. The Chilian minister is author
ity for the statement. thai
there was no opposition wliatov'or U
Mr. Ulutiio personally , the only eiuostlor
being as to whether ho could proporli
bo chosen to preside over the congress
not boinir a dologulo. When it was tie
eidod that his selection would be propo ;
theres was no opposition wluttovur , nnd
the minister says that with ono accon
nil the delegates are pleased with hli
selection.
There can bo no doubtof the propriot ;
or appropriateness of Mr. Blninn pre.sid
ing over the Pan-American congress. A
precedent tor his "doing so issupplioc
by the fact that Bismarck was prcsidon
of a similar conference hold in llorlii
in 1878 , and Mr. Elaine is entitled Ii
this consideration by virtue of his hav
ing originated the project of holding
the congress. Of his Illness , also , then
can bo no question. His brief ntldrcb
at the organization of the congress wn
so judicious and tactful lhat it hn >
received nothing but cordial commendation
dation , and his superior ability as i
presiding ofllcor is well known. Ni
other man has the qualifications ti
mnko a inoro favorable impression upoi
the foreign delegates.
The congress will reassemble ii
November with perfect harmony tun
good feeling among its members , and ii
that spirit will undoubtedly continue ti
the close of its deliberations.
nn : A'Bir n
There is danger that a largo mimboi
of our citi'/.cns will be disfranchised u
tlio coming election. The registialioi
law is uot only very btringont , bu
btielly adapted to the wants of a largi
city.To
To begin with , it restricts registra
tion to certain dqyB and fixed hours. I
is almost out of rfuostion that the twen
ty-live thousand- voters in Omaha ant
South Omaha can" be registered in tin
time to which the law limits the reg
istrars , oven it- the provisions are no
rigidly couiplicel with. The great ma
jority of our voters are wngo-workors
They cannot possibly leave their worl
in the middle of the day to gat thorn-
selves registered.
The only hours in which registrar ;
will sit iu the evening is between 7 and
0 o'clock for one day "of each of fem
weeks before election. The law pro
hibits registration after I ) p. m. Will
the numerous questions which ante
to bo propounded to each voter
the most expert registrar wil
not bo able to register mon
than fifty voters in two hours , o
two hundred in the four days. The re
suit will bo that more than one-half tlu
legal electors of this city will be dis
franchisee ! .
While the law eioes not absolute ! }
prohibit citi'/.ens who are not registerei
from voting at an election , there is si
much reel-tape and affidavit making re
quired as n condition for allowing ar
unregistered citizen to vote that it wil
make it next to impossible for citi/.on
whose time is limiteel to exorcise theii
rights.
There is a bare possibility , however
that this registration law may bo de
clared void by the courts on account o
radical defects. But it will not do foi
voters to count upon that. Each ane
every voter must present himself it
person before the registrars and resris
tor. Otherwise ho will not be given !
voice in the coining election.
UXDKII a recent legislative enact
ment trusts are illegal in Missouri
The law declares it to bo a conspiracy
punishable by due and imprisonment
to on tot * into any trust or combination

any contracts made with that object in

ating unuoi * this law the secretary ol
state , whoso duty it is to see tlmt the
annctmont is enforced , 1ms uddrossei
circulars to officers of corporation !
doing business in the state , requiring
them to inform him under out !
whether they have , since the enact
ment , complied with its provisions , f
will bo interesting to note what th <
officers will have to say , for thero.is IK
doubt tlmt in many cases they have
violated the law. It will certainly
have the ofi'oct in any event of nuikiiif
monopoly assume a definite shape ii
that stuto. *
