BOGUS CONTRIBUTION Boxes. AT the
Fifth Ward polling place there was
bogus contribution box and perhaps the
same sptcies OF sxindls was carried on
at other polls. The San Francisco
Benevolent Association had box put up
outside the polling booth, with a re-
pre- sentative stationed by 1t to solicit
contribution from each voter. just inside
the aperture through which ballots were
passed was another box. labeled "For
the Orphans" and the man who was
stationed there to receive the ballots
asked the voter to put something in the
box ''for the poor" Unless the voter
attention was called to the fraud, he
would be apt to put his contribution in
this bogus box, without giving 1t close
scrutiny. The guardian Of the genuine
box outside generally did intefere and
explain the situation, and was growled
at for his pains. Inquiry developed the
fact that this trick is by "the boys, and
that whatever contributions are put 10
the bogus box arc appropriated as whis-
key money" by these boys 1t looks
good deal like stealing the coppers of
a dead nieger's eyes" this method o
robbing the orphans. As it conducted
openly. all the officers of election mus
be aware Of it, and must lend thei
countenanco to the fraud.-lS. F. Ait

Mrs. A. G. Colby and Mrs. Olive
Smith, two Spiritualist lecturers are
the plaintiffs in libel suit which has
been instituted against the Fort
Dodge Messenger. The article which
contains the alleged libel was pub
lished in the Messenger last Deem
Der, and is az follows:
1.-THE Inter Ocean tells good joke on
somebody, and we are not sure but it will
strike root in Fort Dodge, as well as any
where. Mrs. Colby, of Spiritualist fame,
who lectured in this city a few weeks ago
under the auspices of Demonthenes, Plato,
and some of those other gentlemen, now
turns out to be of the other gender from
that supposed here, if we may credit the
aforesaid authority. 1t seems that great
deal of curiosity and surmise was created
by her singular masculine voice and ap.
pearance, SO much SO that an investigation
was finally ordered, with the result as
above mentioned"
There does not seem to be very
much to found libel on in the above
paragraph, but the point of it is
probably, that one of the editors Of
the Messenger is woman.

The Gate City in q recent issue
gives utterance to the following
words of wisest wisdom:
1.-The right policy for newspapers as to
public men is to have independent and
honest opinions and estimates of those
men, and give them when they feel called
upon to pass upon their character at all.
They should not have one estimate in
private and another for the paper; nor is
identity of party relationship good
reason for soldering over any ublic men
with fulsom and discriminating eulogy,
unless you think he is perfect
The following endorsement by the
Davenport Democrat is equally to
the point:
"Bolstering up candidates who are unfit
foi office; singing the praises of politi-
clans who are known to be corrupt or
otherwise unworthy; traducing and
maligning really good men whose only
fault is that they happen to be candidates
or Office holders of the opposite party, is
out of place-out of good sense-out of
charac err"
There are very few papers that will
not endorse the above in theory, but
how few live up to it in practice
The fault is not always with the pa
pers, either. Very few people appre-
ciate the outside influences brought
to bear on the political newspaper
by its own patrons to induce it to
give distorted opinions regarding
candidates. The very men, it may
be, who are won't to depiecate with
horror the venality of the public
pres, are the first to call upon it to
bolster up their pet candidates and
to threaten it with loss Of patronage
if it does not accede to the demand.
There are papers that can success
fully withstand this sort OF dictation
but there are others which cannot, OF
think they cannot afford to act indie
pendently, and if they go wrong
they are not wholly responsible. II
is the duty of the public to encour
age and applaud conscientious, un
subservient journalism, but it too
often fails Of this duty and suffers
the press to assail, abuse and corrup
ton, intrenched in wealth and in
fluence, single handed, and uncertain
Of its backing. The papers are very
much as the people make them.

JAMES LICK, the San Franciscan
millionaire whose princely benefac-
tons for scientific, educational. benev-
olent and other public purposes, have
been the theme of newspaper pane
gyric for year past, has changed
his mind, and concluding that such
munificent liberality would be injus-
tice to his family,-who in such case
have to drag outa miserable existence
on the paltry income of million a
year-has revoked his magnificent
donations. The trustees of the fund,
however, have decided to hold on to
the stewardship, and to test in the
courts the right of Mr.. Lick to take
back his gift.

The election in Connecticut, on
Monday, for State officers and Con-
gressmen, resulted in the success of
the Democratic State ticket, by about
the usual majority, and slight gain
by the Republicans in the Leg'sla
ture. Joe Hawley, Republican can
didate for Congress in the Hartford
District and present member, was de-
feated by a small majority. He was
weighted by the support of the Spring
field Republican, bogus indepen'
dent.
The same day Michigan elected
two Supreme Judges, the Republi-
cans carrying the day by largely III
creased majorities over last fall.
The municipal elections in Ohio
also indicate Republican gains.
The Rhode Island election, on
Tuesday, resulted in sweeping Re-
publican victory.

President that nothing which has re

they have existed for several years.
The President said to-day that the

acterizes the report that he contem.
plates a policy Of annexation as too
ridiculously absurd to notice. He

MIR. ED1roR: Patron" says
very truly in your last issue that the
Grange was organized for the pur-
pose of benefitlng the farmer socially,
morally, intellectually and financially;
but / do not understand, nor do I
deem it appropriate that we put SO
much stress upon the financial feature
of the Grange work, in my opinion,
the least important and the most diff.
ficult to manage satisfactorily. My
plan would be to first educate our
selves through the social, moral and
intellectual advantages and thereby
become better prepared to take up
the financial question, besides not
meeting with the opposition. GA
Patron speaks of. What is deemed
the financial mission of the Grange,
l am not prepared to say, but judging
from much of the action of the
Changers in our own county, should
say that it means to cry down and
work against all other interests in the
community, and to believe, or pro-
fess to believe, that those who pursue
other avocations than farming are
dishonest people, scheming to cheat
the honest farmer. This is the tone
Of much Of the conservation we hear
among farmers, and many Patrons
have the mistaken idea that one of
the uses Of the Grange is to keep
alive this feeling of distrust against
all outside its borders. This is all
wrongand detrimental to the Grange.
Brother Patrons, we should be more
tolerant, less ready to resist fair criti-
cism, less ready to mount rough-shod
everybody who suggests that our or
ganization may not be perfect. We
should, and may, profit by wise criti-
cism, but to stiffen our necks and
treat all who point out our errors and
weaknesses as enemies, is ridiculous
and not calculated to do us any good.
The less we have of this feeling the,
better it will be for the Grange, and
the more surely will its objects be
accomplished.

ANOTHER PATRON.
How a Woman Found the Heart Of tho
President.

(Norwalk Gazette Washington letter.
There is one family that will never
forget our President, despite these
tendencies of political parties or par
tisans. The story we give was fur
nished us by one who knows its truth,
and as it has never got into print we
narrate it as evincing the fact that
General Grant has heart, at all
events. The wife of Il detaulting Off
Ger called upon General Grant last
December to implore the release of
her husband from the Albany Peni-
Tertiary. She told the President that
crushing as the sorrow was to herself,
she would try to bear it, but that
every morning, without an exception,
since her husbands incarceration, her
four little children had come to her
bedside with the fearful inquiry:
"Will dear papa come home today"
''This plea Of my children will, l
know, ere long drive me into insani-
ty. And now" said she, "my little
ones have varied their agonizing
questioning, with a pathos that is
maddening, too-"Won't papa come
home Christmas "Madam, I will
consult the Attorney General and do
whatever can for your husband with
his approval" 81 know that will be
useless said the griet-stricken wife.
ellis decision will only be adverse,
nd I may as well go home and tell
my children at once that their papa
can't come home, and give up in de-
spair." "Wait moment" said the
President, and sitting down he has
tily penned note to Attorney Gen
eral Williams, and nervously handing
it to her, said, "Go and tell your
children that their papa shall come
home Christmas!" Almost fainting,
the woman was carried from the Exc
cutive Office with the open note in
her hand. On examining it, it was
found to be a peremptory order for
the immediate release OF the husband
and father. But this was not all.
All over the page were great blots of
the Presidents fast falling tears as
he wrote. On the night before
Christmas there was house in
Washington as joyous as it had been
desolate, and other eyes dropped
great tears as the recital was made of
President Grants tenderness and
mercy in restoring their long absent
papa to the children of Paymaster
! Hodges.
