Honest Elections.

The Democrats pretend to believe
that the elections in the Southern
States are honestly and fairly conduct.
ed. On this point the Republican
differ widely from them. The truth in
regard to the matter should be settled
~ 1t is important that error should b.
dispelled, End the people Of that see
ton be held in proper estimation. We
do not wish to do any one injustice, YET
1t seems to us that the elections in
nearly every Southern State, are un.
equallsd by any farce that was ever
enacted. Violence and fraud mark th,
CANVAS from Its common cement to 2
clos'. The solored voters appear to
have no rights which the Democrats
ars toand to respect.
Where the shot gun policy fails to
control the najority, the tissue ballO.
is brought into requisition, and the
minority are thus placed in the ma
jority. Hence 1t is not matter Of sur
prise that leading Republicans sonsid-
er 1t useless to make contest in the
Southern States at the coming election.
This fact is the best commentary that
can be made on the state Of affairs in
that section of our country. II there
we're no intimidation, no violence and
no falls, counting, such a proposition
would never have been suggested. Il
fair means only were used by the
Democrats the Republicans would con.
test every Congressional District, and
there would bs no such thing as a
"Solid South" How honest Democrats
can sanction such conduct and wish to
profit by it We cannot understand. TO
us it seems 80 villainous that it should
meet the disapprobation of every man
without regard to political afini.
ties. There can be little use in voting
where such methods are practiced. The
continuance Of our government is en-
dangered by it. Honesty and fair deal
ing are the emily security for its per.
petuity. Honest men of all classes
should understand this and unite to
put down roguery Of all kinds. There
should be opportunity for a full vote
and honest count, land the people should
not iubmit to any other. Electors for
President chosen through fraud and
violence should not he counted, they
should not determine the election Of
any cn'. This is correct position and
it sLoul le aoq liesced in. Only the
dishone't wish to profit through fraud
and violence.
The really honest, patriotic voter
will say this conclusion Is net only
wise but just. Villairy should mot
profit oliticians any more than other
classes Of men. The ballot box suffer
ia as bad as the counterfeiter and like
him should be punished and no one
should be allowe1 to profit by his mis-
deeds. When this principle is act, d
on here will b. les violence and more
honesty in the CON luet of our election.

his letter Of acceptance. Mr., Blain

As General Haroocl's only chance of
an election depends on the vote of the
solid South controlled by the brigadiers
it is not surprising that he should want
his loyal military record kept in the
back ground. For Hancock to have

What Arctic Explorers Must Undergo.

Ghe statement of Captain Markham,
as reported by the San Francisco Call,
that " there is not an instance on record
where ship has passed second win.
ter in the dreary Arctic ATTITUDES that
death has not occurred" coming from a
master of Arctic exploration; is one of
the strongest appeals on humane grounds
to open, If possible, early communication
with the American Arctic expedition,
and to bring home any of the officers or
crew who have shown physical inability
to stand the test of another winter in
the Jeanette. Perhaps the most striking
illustration Of the English explorer s
forcible rem TX is found in the expert
ence of the Austrian expedition oil 1872
in the Tegethoff That vessel in the
winter of 1872 10, drifting on an ice foe
throughout the profound darkness OF Il
polar night for lO9 days, the sport of the
Jempestuous polar ocean threatening
every moment to chatter The Tegethoff's
icy cage and engulf its crew, lost not
one of its men, though subjected to in
Censest agony OF suspense long drawn
out. But, in the second winter, sthough
suffered to pass the polar Light (l25
days in lengthy without the horrors OF
the first" as Lieutenant Payer reported,
and though abundantly supplied with
fresh meat from ice bears-the most
efficient remedy againt seurvy-diseas e
invaded the expedition and death
claimed its prey. However hardy the
polar explorer may seem to be, or may
be, when he first enters the icy seas, an
experience Of their winter rigors and
boreal tempests can alone determine
whether he is made of the metal to en-
dure the protracted strain and fierce
shocks lnseparable from further pole
ward advances. Humanity, therefore,
demands that whenever it is possible 10
communicate with polar expedition
and to take off any of its number who
may evince signs OF succumbing expos
ures of its projected voyage, such COM
munication should be promptly made.
Although there is no reason to fear for
the health of those on board the jean
nette, no stone should be left unturned
to afford any of her crew relief if it
should be required. -New York Herald.

A Joke ON a Clergyman.

Biblical scholars are sometimes en-
trapped. In little town of Bavaria,
the other day, sat an aged traulein and
her minister, who was, at least, sup
posed to know the Bible by heart. The
traulein enjoyed a practical Joke in
spite OF her age; and the reverend
father, although a thoroughly pious
man, was not whit behind her. In
deed, there is nothing in the sacred pro-
fession which interdicts good whole.
some laugh, and nothing which ought
to make man so sad that he can see
only the gloomy and cloudy side of Life.
Our fraulein said: Father, you may
have heard that some of the persistent
explorers in the Holy Land have just
discovered huge heap of bones which
are supposed, on pretty good authority,
killed" "Ah, indeed!" replied the
minister, thoroughly intere sted, 81 had
not heard of it." Yes" continued the
fraulein, land, strange to say, nearly
half the bones were white as the snow
of the Alps, while the rest were
almost as black as ebony" "Well.
well!' exclaimed the pastor, "that is
certainly very remarkable" And the
problem TO be solved 49, continued the
fraulein, whether the white bones be-
longed to the girls and black ones to the
boys, or vice versa. The explorers
were greatly vexed by the matter and
could arrive at no satisfactory conc,u
sion. Now. what do you think
fatherP' ooh" wittily rcjoined the
pastor, "of course the black bones be-
longed to the girl babies an the white
ones to the boy babies" We ask the
same question of our readers, and they
had better better guess several times
before they read the rest of the para
graph. When they have settled the
matter they can refer to the answer OF
the fraulein, who, with merry twinkle
in her eye, said: Father, you must
have read your Bible to very LITTLE pur-
pose, for the account tells that only boy
babies were killed by Herod."

A Curious Theory About Bad Eyesight.

In recent work on Eyesight-Good
and Bad" by r. B. Carter, M. D., of
London, the singular theory is developed
that large part of the trouble with
their eyes among persons who have
reached, or who have passed, the middle
age of life, is due to the partial disuse of
the organism of sight. Mr.. Carter
maintains that the beauty and efficiency
OF the eyes depend not little upon their
healthiul and active employment. 1t
mi sht be said that the use of ones ewes
is something which cannot be very well
prevented. While man is awake, I'M
less he resolutely shuts his eyes or has
them bandaged, he cannot avoid using
them. But use of this kind is not the
employment that Mr.. Carter requires ::
there must be mental attention as well
as visual impression, otherwise the ewes
remain in state of comparative idle
ness. The man who retains his eyesight
clear and unimpairedt to an old age much
ottener is the mechanic, who is COM
PEELED by his wof k to constantly test the
acuteness of his sight, than the farmer.
who rarely has occasion to look yery
closely &C anything, and who frequently
may not exercise his eyes by reading a
ASV0pNpSA AAOLu OuC W06h emu 10 GIlo
other. 1t will be perceived that this
theory is not the one commonly ac-
cepted, ..and yet Mr. Carter is a specialist
whose opinion cannot be lightly con
travened. He objects, of course, to an
improper use of the eyes under trying
lights or to their over exercise, but he
would seem to hold that trouble was
likely to arise fully as often by under-ex.
ercise as by over exertion. To give his
own words: "That which is true f
the organis as a whole is true also of
its parts, and the eyes, among others,
are best treated by an amount of sys-
tematic use, which preserves the tone
of their muscles and the regularity OF
their blood supply" Another point
that Mr.. Carter insists upon is the ne
cessity of using properly djusted glasses
when the sight begins to fail. 1t is, he
affirms, much more healthful for the
eyes to use them than to dispense with
their use, since under the latter con-
dition certain muscles of the eye are
subjected to an undue and dispropor-
tionate strain.
