The Philosophy Of It.

The political atrocity in Maine shows
that the Democratic leaders are as cor
rupt, as conscienceless and as depraved
in New England as in Mississippi, Louis
lana or South Carolina. AS matter
of fact, the plan of robbing citizens of
their suffrages did not originate at the
South. In the rush of events we are
prone to forget great political crimes.
The first great political theft which was
perpetrated in the United States oc-
Cured in the Empire State. The Dem
ocratic party of New York stole the
Electoral vote of that State in 1868.
Horace Greeley charged the chief guilt
of the crime upon Samuel j. Tilden,
and Tilden never denied the charge.
The infamy of that crime against the
rights of the people of New York has
never been excelled in any one of the
bulldozed Southern States. The ma
jority of the legal voters of New York
on that occasion voted for the Grant
Electors. Tilden, having foreseen that
such would be the case, sent a circular
letter to the Democratic managers at
every voting precinct in the State, re-
quiring a telegraphic report to head.
quarters in New York City of estimated
majorities Immediately upon the clos
ing of the polls, declaring that there
by an important object was TO be at
tanned. Upon the receipt of those re-
ports Tilden, it was alleged, instructed
Tweed, his then henchman, to stuff the
ballot-boxes in the city with u sufficient
number of Democratic votes to over
come the estimated Republican ma
jority in the interior of the State.
The tissue-ballot frauds of the South
Carolina Democrats in 1873 were

A Funeral Episode.

Not many weeks ago at smart little
town in Jefferson County, a poor old
lady died. The few relatives she had
were unable to do the fair thing toward
laying her away in the tomb so the cit
zens Clipped in to bear the expense of
burial. One offered carriages, another
coffin, another something else, and
several volunteered to dig the grave.
The day of the funeral arrived, and the
rain poured in torrents, but a goodly
number followed the remains of the fine
old lady to the cemetery. Arriving at
the grave the crowd was astonished.
Uncle Seeley had only got it half dug,
and had gone off and left it, with the
rough box standing up on end. Here
was predicament. Everybody looked
ut everybody else, between the rain
drops. Finally all eyes turned upon
Jim Flint, as good-natured a man as
ever lived. He was dressed up in his
best, but There was nothing mean about
him. He pulled off his best coat, handed
it to Hoard, the editor, tucked his pants
in his boots grabbed shovel and
jumped into the grave and began to
work. For half an hour he worked and
steamed, and got wet, and he never
looked up. There was not a dry rag
on him.
When it was done he looked around
at the crowd. Some were under trees
out OF the wet. others were under UNI
brellas, and the volunteer mourners,
all friends of Flipt's, sitting on adjacent
graves, with umbrellas over them, as
comfortable as possible. Jim Flint
looked at the crowd, leaned upon his
shovel, wiped the perspiration from his
forehead. on his shirt sleeve, and said;
Z" have only one remark to make.
The next funeral / attend, hanged II i
don't go as a mourner."
Then he got out Of the grave, the
funeral went on, and the followers went
back TO town looking for Uncle Seeley.
