Fraud is just as reprehensible
when committed by Democrats as
when committed by Republicans.
The recent action of Governor Gar
celon and his associates in Maine
by which the will of the people OF
that State has been subverted, is
Just as much entitled to condomna-
ton M the action of the returning
boards in Louisiana and Florida in
1876, although the magnitude Of
the crime is not rs great in one
case Ms in the other. The fact that
the Republicans committed frauds
in 1876 offers no excuse for the
recent action of the Democratic
State officers in Maine. II is true
that the Republican party has es-
tablishcd prccedents for all sorts
eff political crimes, but the Demo
cratic party must not attempt to
follow them. II is also true that
the Republican party excused and
condoned the frauds which Defeated
the will of the nation in 1876, but
this is no reason why Democrats
should commit like frauds, or that
in doing 80 they should be applaud
ed. 1t matters not that Governor
Gnrcclon and his friends claim to
have carried out the letter of the
law They manifestly violate its
spirit and upon technical errors
alone base their claim to change
the result of the vote.

No one claims but that Gov.
Garcclon and his council have act
ed in strict conformity with the
constitution, the laws, and tho do
cisions Of the courts. Gov. Gar
celon's address justifying their
course by citations from the con-
stitution, the statutes and the
decisions Of the supreme court OF
Maine, stands uncontradicted.
The trouble with the governor and
his council is not but they have
obeyed the law but they have CON
struod it too literally and thus
defeated the choice Of the people
through the technioalities. Their
whole oilcnso consists in an unjust
exercise of the legal discretion with
which they have been invested by
the law of tho state. They have
construed the law 80 closely that
they have thereby annulled tho
will of the people. And in this
il their sole offence. Now IL does
not seem to us that the rightful
and honest choice of the people
should be vitintcd through tech
micalities or the ignorance Of the
Judges or the clerks who are en-
trusted with making up and re-
turning the result of the election.
The people should not be deprived
of their rights by the handiwork Of
returning boards of any charac-

The Panama STR and Herald tells
how one of the CHILEAN vessels lying
before Callao was blown up by tor
pedo. The plan adopted by the Peru
vians was as follows: A Peruvian officer
took an ordinary fruit boat, put q tor
pedo in the bottom, resting on springs
kept down by the weight of the cargo.
He then loaded it with a very choice as
sorLment of camotes, yucas, chirimoyas,
granadillas, fowls, turkeys, green vege-
tables, ETC., and towing it out toward
the blockading squadron before day
light, set it adrift. All day long the
launch foated about, but the Chilans
could not see it, until about five o'clock
in the evening. Fearing it would fall
into neutral hands, boat was sent out
to bring it hack. The Lon was doing
duty, and seeing the boat from shore max
ing toward the neutral vesse's, caught
sight of the launch and at once tur1ed
toward it. Seeing this the boat from
shore beat hasty retreat The Lon
owered Two boats to fetch in the prize,
and it was brought alongside and the
discharge at once began. AS the weight
in the launch was diminished the ma
chinery in connection with the torpe-
does was set free, and in moment three
hundred pounds of dynamite were ex-
ploded, end the Loa was almost lifted
out of the water. The effect, as de-
scribed by those who were watching the
operation with breathless interest from
the shore, was dreadful. Every house
in Callao was shaken to its foundations,
and every ship in the bay shivered az
though fearful earthquake had spent
its fury beneath them. The fated ship
appeared as if enveloped in one mass Of
flame, which resolved itself into dense
clouds Of black smoke. When this
cleared away, she seemed not to have
suffered, but suddenly she was observed
to sink at the stern, while her bows
went high in the air, and the Loa disap-
peared forever
While all this was going on, the
| Blaneo Encalada and the Huascar were
in their accustomed positions, some
eight miles distant, too far off to render
any assistance to their unhappy COM
rades, or such Of tie Il as were left
struggling in the water The boats of
the Thetis, Penguin, Ala ka, DEGREES
and GaribaIdi were quickly lowered,
and proceeded to the scene Of the terrible
event. The two first-named ships sue
ceeded in picking up thirty, the Alaska
one, the Decres three or four, the Carl
baldi six, making about forty in ALL At
least one hundred and fifty men persisted.
The only officers saved are the second
commander (wounded), the doctor and
one engineer.
The explosion occurred very c.ose to
the anchorage of the neutral squadron,
and the disaster might very easily have
happeneti TO one Of them. The boat re-
sembles the ordinary fruiters, which
might accidentally have broken adriit
and got out to sea.

Then Lolita put out an impulsive little
hand and said hastily:

LOTTA'S BURGLAR

1t was unprecedented at Erlsham for
the students to break out so late in the
term. Still more unprecedented was it
for potent, grave and reverend senior
to have any share in the mischief. Yet,
only three nights before commencement
the students made things howl" and
Tom Anstlu her was head and front Of
the offending. They nailed up over the
chapel door the sign, To Providence

road. They serenaded obnoxious mem
bers of the faculty in terms anything
but aattering. They built huge bon

In the midst of the uproar there was
the cry of I" Faculty faculty." followed
by an instant hush. The students scat
tered in all directions, Anstruther as
fast as any-faster, indeed, when he
found himself closely followed. His
particular pursuer appeared to be one of
the younger and more active ofthe pro-
fessors, who quite caught the spirit of
the chase. Tom found it impossible to
shake him of. Was the valedictorian
of the graduating class to be caught thus
ANONYMOUSLY?
An open basement window gave him
an inspiration. He sped past it; then,
doubling cleverly on his foe, sprang
through it and laughed to hear his foot
steps grow fainter in hot pursuit up the
street.
Upstairs Lolita Desmond was brush
ing out her pretty brown hair prepara-
tory to retiring. On her daintily- frilled
toilet-table, looking oddly out of place,
lay Cousin Jim's revolver. There had
been great many jokes about that re-
volver. Her uncle and cousin had sol
EMMY installed Lolita as man of the
house during their absence. Jim had
reminded her of the exploits of brave
Mrs. Brown and plucky Mrs. Peters, rs
recorded by the Daily Chronicle. The
first of these ladies had, alone and un-
armed, held burglar captive until help
came. The second, under like circum-
stances, had completely routed two des-
perste villains.
And Lolita had demanded Jim's pistol
and declared that she only longed for a
chance to emulate their heroism. And
Jim had promised to watch the papers
for similar mention of daring Miss
Desmond.
50 Lolita smiled when her eyes fell on
the pistol, for as yet no opportunity for
glory had come to her, and Jim would
be home tomorrow.

John H. Burke, of San Francisco, has
complained to the board of equalization
that the six Chinese companies are not
properly assessed. He claims that ali,
or nearly all, of the Chinese in the United
States, British Columbia and the SAND
witch islands are contracted for as slaves
or serfs; and furthermore, that the
Chinese coming to this country become
indebted to one OF theother of said COM
panies and their bodies are held respon-
sible for payment; that the said COM
panies hold absolute control over the
lives and liberties OF the Chinese, and
execute the DEGREES of their own private
courts TO the exclusion Of the constituted
authorities; that they have hereby
built up and maintained an independent
government, and are at war with the in
terests and laws of the people of Cali
fornia. He states that in 1873 the six
companies controlled l45, 600 Chinese,
and at present control 223, 900, and that
the obligations of these Chinese are in
the nature of solvent credits held by the
six companies, and should be so as
sessed under the law. The complainant
then asks that the personal assessment
roll of the six companies be raised to
$22 100000. He assesses each company
in the following amounts: Sam Yup,
S1,5I5,000; Yung Wo, $3.50. 600; Kung
Chow, 50 $50, GEO; Ming Yunq, $il $780,

$5,ll0,0OO; total, 1922. 100000.
