cratic majority is log; but in 1867 that
county registered 6S4 white, and 1859
colored voters; in 1868 il cast SEQ
Democratic and 1870 Republican
votes; in 1870, in spite of the general
disturbance, it gave small Republi-
can majority; in 1872 it gave $40
Democratic and l,l09 Republican
votes, and in 1874 it gave s97 Demo.
cratic and 1885 Republican votes.
By violence at certain polls an actual
Republican majority Of $50 has been
changed to pretended Democratic
majority of i06. Is sthere no remedy?
Again in Louisiana armed men de-
stroyed the ballot.boxes in Madison
Parish, hoping thereby to destroy
over 2,l00 Republican majority hon
estly given. In five parishes vio-
leace was so effective that in place Of
Republican majority of 1884 in 1874
and 4,949.in 1872 and 2,455 even in
1870, these parishes now give a pre-
tended Democratic majority Of 4,il6.
Possibly the change of over 5000 in
these parishes may overcome the
real will of the people Of Louisiana,
and, as consequence, elect Presi-
dent by law-breaking, violence, and
assassination. Is there no remedy?

masters at the time they were elect
ed, and hence disqualified by the
United States Constitution. True,
they did hold Offices of trust or profit
under the United States at the time
Of their election as electors, but they
have since resigned their positions as
postmasters, and others have been
appointed to fill their places. Their
disabilities rs electors nro thus re-.
moved before their election Is certi-
fed or they have been sworn into
Office. If they are not now eligible
there are merely vacancies, and these
vacancies can be filled by the remain
ing electors from their respective
States as provided by law.
In consequence of an error in some
of the poll-books in Wisconsin the
Democracy wanted to claim an elect
or there. One Of the Republican can
didates for election was changed after
the names were printed in the poll
books and sent out. The change was
made in printing the tickets. and the
ballots were cast all right, but In
some cases the judges Of election
failed to change the printed name on
the poll-books to correspond with the
tickets, and hence the Democracy
hoped they would gain an elector by
that mistake.
Again the Democrats wanted to
claim Illinois for Tilden on account
of some irregularity in returning the
vote in Chicago.
In some other State they claimed
that the name OF an olector WAS mis-
spelled on some OF the ballots, and
hence they claimed that Tilden was
elected.
These bubbles will not avail the
Dem ocracy.

Protective Tariff.
fInter.Ocean.l


Since September, 1875, not a pound
OF steel rails has been imported into
the United States, and the quantity
which entered our ports during the
first quarter OF that fiscal year
amounted to only 0,953, ,469 pounds,
valued at $3l4,2s2. This statement
is In signal contrast with that for fis-
cal year 1873, when we imported
O,Os3, 100 pounds, invoiced at 90
1906, equal to about $64.40 gold
per ton. such was the price charged
our railroad companies by foreign
makers at the port Of original ship
ment, only three years ago. Bes-
semer steel rails OF the best quality
can now be bought at American
mills at $50 currency. Over q year
ago importation ceased, yet the price
ofthe domeatic article has continued
to drop In consequence of the grow
ing pressure OF home competition.
These fruitful results have been nc
complished within "A simple decade,
as we were In 1865 belplcssly depend.
ent upon European sources for our
supply OF steel rails, and were com
peIled to pay price In gold Of $50
per ton. then equivalent tn 1926 In
grcenback-. Protective duties en-
couragcd and sustained the establish
ment OF tine Ecssemcr works in this
country, and have given to Aneri-
can railways much cheaper steel
rails than English manufacturers,
without this rivalry, would ever
have conceded. The decline in price
since importation wholly ceased has
been caused solely by the cOmpeti-
ton among our own rail makers.
Our tariff system has reduced the
cost Of building railroads TO figures
less for steel tracks than would have
had to be paid for iron trucks ten
years ago; and thus is the problem Of
cheap transportation being solved
for our farmers, once for all, by the
wise policy Of protection TO home in
dustry.

Remedy for "a Great Wrong.


Section of 5,520 of the revised stat
utes Of the United States, page I,076,
contains these provisions of law:
"If two or more persons in any
State or Territory conspire to pre-
vent by force, intimidation, or threat,
any citizen who Is lawfully entitled
to vote, from giving his support or
advocacy, In legal manner, toward
or in favor of the election Of any law
fully qualified person rs an elector
for President or Nice-President, or
as member Of the Congress Of the
United States; or to injure any citi-
zen in person or property on account
of such support or advocacy; each of
such persons shall be punished by a
fine of not less than five hundred nor
more than five thousand dollars, or
by imprisonment, with or without
hard labor, not less than six months
nor more than six years, or by both
such fine and Imprisonment"
There can be no question whatever,
that this law has been violated not
only In South Carolina, Florida and
Louisiana, but also i'm Texas, Missis.
sippi, Arkansas, Georgia and North
Carolina, and to greater or less de-
gree in other sections of the Southern
States. Either the law should be en-
forced or repealed. Its terms certain
ly appeal TO every mans sense of
justice. Every voter ought to have
a free and unobstructed right to cast
his vote rs to him may seem best. 1t
cannot be successfully denied that IL
such unobstructed election had been
held tho electoral vote of several
othdr Southern States would be cast
for Hayes and Wheeler, and the Re
publicans would have large MAORI
ty in the House. AS it is they are
literally defrauded of their rights.
Should there not be remedy for
thls?
The New York Tribune, apparent
ly despairing OF any other mode Of
redress for these great wrongs dis
cussea the possibility of making them
right themselves by applying the
principles of one of the constitutional
amendments:
"When that provision of the X1Nth
amendment Is virtually nuliitied un-
der which the basis Of representation
Is reduced in proportion as the right
of suffrage is denied, the armed voter
who drives another from the polls
wields double The power which Is
exercised by the law-abiding citizen
elsewhere, and thus in more than one
way there is offered "A premium upon
violence. IT Is fortunate that acqui-
esceuce by the northern voter in this
injustice to southern Republicans
amounts TO surrender OF a
portion Of his own polit-
icai power. Men who are not prompt
to defend the rights OF others may
yet be very jealous Of their own, and
the country will not long permit n
minority OF turbulent voters TO usurp
q disproportiOnate share Of tho pow

not be uniateresting to see what the
Chicago Times said before upon this
question of the employment oftroops
for election purposes. In its issue of
June %, 1876, before it became intox-
icated from Tilden's bar'l, 1t used the
following words of truth and sober
ness:
''It has been given out from WASH
ingt0n that President Grant will
send troops into the southern states
II 1t seems to be necessary in order
to protect republicans, white and
black, in the exercise of their right
to vote in November. 1t is further
reported that he said to Governor
kellogg, of Louisiana, that if the
regular army was not strong enough
for this purpose he had no doubt
sufficient number of volunteers could
he had on short notice. Undoubtedly
the President feels free to go further
In this direction than he would If he
were himself q candidates; his mo-
tives are less liable to be miscOnstruc-
ted. 1.-The carries out this policy
IL he makes it really safe for south
ern republicans to vote-Hayes and
Wheeler will almost certainly carry
Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida,
with their twenty electoral votes;
and IL is by no means impossible
that they will carry Alabama. If
this programme is carried out, the
confederate calculation upon united
South will be sadly disarraigned.
Very well. IL may not be amiss to
stretch point for the purpose of res
training those WORTHLESS whose
damned luck" IL is ito run right
against niggers" with shet-guns and
such like pursuasive arguments. 1t
may be well enough to see whether
there Is no way to prevent the dis
reimbursement OF q whole race by the
methods employed In Mississippi
and Louisiana. Grant will be round
ly abused IL he carries out this pro-
gramme, but the country will prob
ably sustain him.

The Democrats threaten that IL the
electoral votes Of South Carolins,
Florida and Louisiana should he Civ.
en- to Hayes the Democratic Repre-.
sentatives in Congress will refuse to
meet in joint session with the Senate
on the second Wednesday i'm Febru-
ary, to count the votes in acc )rdance
with the constitutional provision;
and that then, there being no elec-
tion in the regular way, the Demo-
cratic House would meet and choose
the President. But the constitution
provides that the Senate and House
ShoH meet in joint session. If the
Democrats should refuse to attend,
or those members who did not see
fit to disObey the constitution and
their oath of Office, could attend, and
the vote would be counted, and the
President Of the Senate would de-
clare the result, and the man chosen
would be inaugurated in March in
spite Of the confederatea.

claimed by both parties. Republi-
cans are very confident, and seem to
have good grounds for claiming the
State. The opposition claim it by
only 500 or 200 majority. The DEM

from 1000 to 5000, il the vote as re-
turned from all the parishes be COM
ted. Duplicate poll lists have been
received from AZ Of the 81 parishes.
The other ten are estimated. The
returning board will probably throw
out tile entire vote of the six bull
do1ed parishes, and some other pre-
cincts where Republicans We're by
violence prevented from voting or
even attempting to run ticket. If
these six parishes are thrown out, as
they evidently should be under the
state law, Hayes will have the

The Pool Betting SIN.

ayers. 1t would not be extravagant
to say that there are five millions of
dollars to-day pending upon the re-
suit of the elections in the various
States, and this sum Is increased
hourly by the conflicting stories
which come from the doubtful States.
Ii there should be no election, or a
dispute az to who il President, the
people who have invested in II would
be deprived of their money for some
time to come. Some fine day large
sums of money will suddenly disap-
pear from some of the pool rooms
and then people will wonder how
keen sporting men were willing to
trust their property In the hands OF
gamblers, while they would not be
satisfied TO place il In q banking In
stitution unless it was known TO be
thoroughly solvent. We hear that
some Of this money Is very loosely
kept. One night over 81 ,OOO, 900 were
deposited in the safe of one OF the up.
town hotels, without receipt or guar
antee except the honesty Of hotel
clerk. These sporting people are not
business men and have not business
habits. IL will DO as much the fault
Of the betting public as OF the propri-
etors OF the pool rooms IL at some
time heavy losses are incurred. All
this public gambling ought to be pre-
vented by law. There IL excitement
enough about our elections without
having betting so organized thatit is
a temptation to everybody to "put
up" something on the result. AS
now conducted, pool gambling is

The Inter Ocean says that our civil
war added n large number OF words
TO the American idiom. Every
branch of industry, every now way
of thinking, every change in politics,
IL fully represented by new word
or peculiar phrase. The license OF
the press and the independent free.
dom of daily speech have also en-
larged if they have not enriched tho
national vocabulary. Battdozied is
the latest invention an acquisition
which Is puzzling tho etomologists
Just now. 1t originated In Louisi-
ana, and its meaning has been thus
explained by southern newspaper:
The pleasant brethren of the "Stop"
IA political society--were In the
habit Of giving warning calls once,
twice, three times, 10 those whom
they desired and demanded should
Join the "Stop." If, on the third and
last call, they did not comply with
the demand and take the oath, the
unfortunate negro who refused was
taken TO the woods and given "bull-
dose" Of the cowhide on his naked
back. a cool hundred well laid on
was considered n bulls dose for once;
and the victim either listened to such
potent reasoning and took the oath
as member, or fed the country.
From a bulls dose soon came tho
verb TO buit-dozke.
In the election dispatches from
Louisiana the term has been applied
To those parishes where the negroes
were intirnidated from voting.
There are five Bni,dozied, or "bull-
lnZnhU parishes.

The majority for Hayes in Iowa
now figures up almost round 0,0Oa.
The counties are all heard from, and
nearly all officially. AS shown By
these returns the State Register says
"Haycs' majority now, $500" The
official returns yet lacking for few
counties will probably make a slight
modification in these figures. The
Democratic Chicago Times, more than
a week ago, said:
Seventy-three counties in Iowa
give Hayes-but 1t isn't worth while
10 90 into particulars. The intelli-
gent reader may select any figure
that suits his taste I'm the matter oi
an Iowa majority, and rest sercnely
confident that the voters Of that state
have filed the bill with some thous.

The funds locked up in the election
pools at Chicago is estimated at
qnarter million dollars. The Nor
risey and other pools ut New York
hold over $3,0o0,000. In every city
in the Union large amounts are thus
taken out Of circulation. 1t is said
TINT Morrisey will not deliver stakes
except upon receipt of u written &C.
acknowledgement from either Hayes or
Tilden conceding the election to his
opponent. Other pool managers say
they will be governed by Morrisey's
decisions. The betters will probably
not get their money before March
next. Meanwhile the large holders
have splendid fund to speculate
upon. John Morrisey is said to hold
near 100000 If the gambler can
hold this four months and keep it on
interest at six per cent he will make
100000 out Of ID besides his c)mmis-
