the south, are in the right direction. l

that reason and patriotism are in contol.
That harmony will be enduring. In the
early days of the next session of congress
there will come up in the senate as unhn-
ished business from the last session, and for
final action, proposition in which the
whole country, but the south especially, is
interested and to which the assent of the
patriotic north is asked. II is measure

extravagant demand made by those who
built the Union and Central roads, Or those
who commenced the Northern Pacific-all
in reality, northern roads, should wish
such company to be refused any aid or as
sistance. But the truth is that the only
really southern road asks for no government

The grave question has been presented
to the Baptist ministers of New York, is
it right for a church member to be book
keeper in wholesale liquor storel' One

was offered such position, and who, if he
took it, would be able to make larger
donations to his church and to missionary
objects, Still he thought that to keep
books in II liquor house was to become II

PROSECUTE THE YIOLATcRS OF THE
TAW

At meeting Of the cabinet held on Tues
day the subject of frauds in the recent cleo
tons was under discussion. A dispatch
from Washington says that it was decided
after thorough discussion that all violators
of the election laws should be vigorously
prosecuted to the utmost limit of the law.
There will be no compromise. The attorney
general was instructed to pursue this course
and will Immediately issue instructions to
his subordinates to vigorously prosecute and
bring to justice all who have violated the
franchise statutes. We presume that the
cabinet is in earnest in this matt er. Atleast
we trust that such is the fact. If honestly
DESTROYS Of Furnishing violators of the law,
of course there will be no distinction as to
party or section. All who have transgressed
should be brought to justice. We desire to
call the attention of the attorney general to
the manner in which the Congressional cleo
ton in the Third Minnesota district was
conducted, and to suggest to him that he
instruct the district attorney in st. Paul to
proceed to vigorously prosecute and bring
to justice all who have violated the franchise
statutes" in this locality. There will be no
lack of evidence upon which to base his
prosecution. 1t can be proved that one of
the candidates for Congress openly stalked
through the district buying all voters who
were for sale, intimidating others who hap
pened to be in his power, and shamelessly
attempting to corrupt the election officers by
means of money OF promises of Office. His
course was not pursued secretly. It was
open and aagrant-so open that men went
from house to house with rolls of greenbacks
seeking to purchase the support of electors.
There is scarcely man in Minnesota who
does not personally possess a knowledge
of some fact Of this character that is sufli-
Gent to convict.
We give the members Of the cabinet credit
for being honest in their intentions in this
matter. Their future course, however, will
demonstrate whether we have judged them
correctly. If they proceed to take action in
some special districts and not in others,
whore the evidence of fraud and intimidation
is overwhelming, we shall be compelled to
revise our Judgment. We shall regret to be
obliged to do 80.
In absolute fairness the attorney general
cannot overlook the brazen corruption of
Washburn while he prosecutes less conspicu-
GUS offenders against the law. He must take
cognizance of transactions that dwarf by
their rascally magnifcence all others from
Maine to the Gulf. To neglect to do so
would be to confess to degree of partisan
malevolence that no man OF body of men can
afford to exhibit. Let us have fair play, and
while the officers of the department. of JUS
tice are looking up frauds at the South and
Furnishing their perpetrators, let the district
attorney for Minnesota look up the frauds
perpetrated by Washburn and his blowers
and strikers, and visit them with the penal
ties of the law.

II seems almost impossible that gentle

yet you certainly did SO regarding me. I
was not aware had Confessed guilt be-
ing unconscious Of any act of mine

Achilles; my armor of personal integrity
and honor is impregnable.
By the term "confessing guilt" pre-
sumo you refer to the matter of the "guaran-
tee." Permit me to assure you that, not
withstanding the trouble it indirectly caused,
am still of the opinion it was quite justi-
fable under the circumstances.
Had the Republicans been protected in
| their rights of franchise they would have
carried the State of Louisiana by 10000 ma

interested in the success of the party, only

shotgun policy of the Felicianas' Democ-

checkmating Democratic bribery-an act

LOUISIANA politicians are trying to count
Acklin out of seat in Congress. They did
all in their power to drive him from the
track after he had got the nomination of the
party, but the little fellow pluckily kept his
grip and was elected by a large majority. He
fought SANDER after SANDER successfully, and
it would appear won his success fairly, but
his enemies have relaxed none of their bit
terness towards him and are using every
means known to corrupt politicians to de-
priye him of his seat. But Acklin is in good
fighting trim, and we have no doubt he will
come out at the top of the heap yet.
