Haines. , The Democrats of tho nineteenth con gressional district, comprising Eensse laer and Columbia counties, met in convention at the Troy House Saturday and nominated Charles D, Haines, of Kinderhook, for Congress. The nomi nee is a wide-awake and successful well qualified in etery way ice with honor and distinc tion. He will make a thorough cauvass of the district, and if indomitable pluck and perseverance count for anything he will be elected by a handsome majority. This is his first nomination for a politi cal office, but the many positions of trust ho has held prove him to be a unimpeachable honor. Mr. Quacken- bush will find that he has tho liveliest kind of an opponent to cope with this fall. Mr. Haines has been interested in street railroad building tor several years past, and in connection with his bro hers has been interested in the construction of some twenty different roads. His life has been a busy one, and his record in the ncAt Congress will be a good one. Lansingburgh has a candidate for county clerk whose claini for tho nomi nation will be urged by delegates at the Democratic county convention next Tuesday from all parts of the county. His claim for tho office is a legitimate one as he has worked iudefutigahly for thp welfare of tho party, and m loitered by the wayside when there work to be done for the party. His popularity is not confined to the village limits but ex tends all over the county, and no man coaid bo named who would add more strength to tho ticket. If he is nominated he will be elected, as ho is a hustler for votes. We refer, of course, to our energetic young townsman village president J. Thomas Denniu. The Troy Observer of Sunday says of the nomination of Mr. Haines for Congress: “Mark our prediction : Mr, Haines will carry this district without the least trouble, and there will be just reason for the Democracy of this district to congratulate itself for making such an excellent nomination. If Columbia county will only hold its Democratic vote in line for Mr. Haines, Eenssolaer ■will carry out its compact made yester day. Mr. Haines out to win and win he will if he is accorded even his own strength in Columbia county. IMr. Haines has been placed in nomination, and it is the duty of every Democrat in the district to turn in and send him to Washington.” Tho Democrats of the Third Assembly district have acted wisely in renomina ting the Hon. John J. Cassiu for tlio Assembly. Mr. Cassin is held in the highest esteem by all who have the pleasure of his acquaintance. A legislator he proved himself to be wise and able, charitable to his oppoiieuta and loyal to his friends and party. His majority this year will be much larger • than last. He is the kind of repre sentatives that are needed in tho Assem bly. __________ Whenever a Harrison Ropublican comes to town to secure “a fair election” the proper thing to do i.s to puf. him under police surveillance, as they are doing with “Dave” Martin in New York.

The two cl'.icf issues presented political oiipouents involve betr; _ tho constitution. Tho ouo issue is that the power of taxation is without limit and includes a right to discriminate in its imposition. Taxation is the road over which nations sometimes pass to their destruction. It is the sunken rock on which many a sliip of state has \ broken asunder. The; I people have never deposited unlimited power with the gov ernment for such a purpose. The actual need of the government in its efforts to lifo and in-operty hoimds the first ion. The pro- puhlio welfare bounds the second and tvider circle within which taxes may ho laid. But the pressui-e of the henefl.cent atmosphere* must be the same everywhere within these two zones. For public purposes alone shall taxes be levied—not for the single benefit of any man, however great, or for any class of men, however powerful. Taxa tion which hears grievously on some one class of tho commi riches another, dues from tho spirit ol the iuity, while it en- ;iot draw its breath istitution. of u . _ tion of unnatural taxation, is not only a crime, hut, according to the climax of Talleyrand, it is a blunder.

He also advised lage of such a measure in his first message to 'Tom Reed’s congress, which met in December, 1889, The Republican majority in that congress meantime had been increased to eight by the admission of North and South Dakota, Montana and Washington into the Union. The force hill conspirators were not satisfied with this majority. It was too small for them to pass the bill desired.

When tho vote was taken the Democratic members, seeing that the Republicans had no quorum, refused to vote.

He also refused to entertain a motion to ad journ, claiming that it was a dilatory motion, an^ that under parliamentary law he had a right to do so. Thus, by the tjTannical and unconsti tutional ruling of the speaker, the Jack- son case was forced before the house. Judge Jackson was ousted from his seat, hut the Republicans furnished a quorum of 167 votes to oust him. They were afraid to do it by counting Demo crats present and not voting, because this would give the judge an opportunity to appeal to the supreme court upon Tom Reed’s rulings under general parliamen tary law. By the ousting of Judge Jackson the Republican majority in the house was increased to ten. Fearing that they would he unable to obtain a voting quorum in the other con tested election case the Republicans were forced to adopt rules for the gov ernment of the house. One of these rules gave the speaker the power to count those present and not voting to make a quorum. But this very rule was adopted under the ruling of tho speaker that he had'a right under par- liament^'y law to count such a quorum. The rules were adopted on Feb. 14, On Feb. 27 Mr. Pendleton, another Demr ocrat from, West Virginia, was turned out of his seat by four votes less than a quorum, Reed counting enough Demo crats present and not voting to make a quorum. Pendleton’s official majority was 19. The Republican majority in the house was thus increased to 12. On March 5 Mr. Cate, of Arkansas, was unseated. His official majority was 1,348. The affirmative vote showed 21 less than a majority in On March 20 Barnes Compton, a Dem ocratic member from Maryland, was un seated. His official majority was 181.

There ar* nine circuits in the United States. The Bight supreme court judges, ■with ten jircuit judges, were doing the work. Tho bill relieved the eight court judges from circuit work, and left that work to the ten circuit judges already in office and the seventeen circuit judges to ho appointed by the president. As the clr- 3uit stood, five of the seventeen judges were Democratic, As the circuit would stand after the passage of the biU, The object of this bill was shown When the Lodge bill came before the house. That bill gave the judges in Bach circuit the power to appoint a chief supervisor of elections in each ciicuit tor life. This supervisor was to appoint the supervisors and canvassers in each voting precinct in each circuit, with tho power of transfer and removal. The circuit judges also had the power to ap point a board of canvassers lii each state, who were to hold office for life. These canvassei-s acted in the place of the state board of canvassers and were ■to return certificates of election to the clerk of the house of reinesontatives. He was to place the names of those whom the canvassers declared elected upon the rolls of the house under a pen alty of $5,000 fine and five years' im- >risonment. Thus the character of the bill passed on April 15 was fully exposed. Here are the states composing the judicial circuits of the United States: First Circuit—Maine, New Hampshire, Mas sachusetts and Rhode Island. Second Circuit—'Vermont., Connecticut and New York. Third Circuit—New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. Fourth Circuit—Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.

If he does not pay quickly, or if he makes any fuss about the charges, this other man will take the ■whole, and not unlikely put the farmer in jail.

Strikes, lockouts and disturbances of all kinds, lower ■wages, loss of employment and In many cases nearly starvation have been the ies nearly fate of working people who resisted efforts to reduce their wages, contrary of this was true of C land’s administration.
