complished by Democratic county re-
turning boards. From five to seven
police jurors were formerly elected in;
each parish as supervisors of election;
subsequently the Democrats passed a.
law authorizing Gov. Nichols to ap-,
point five additional police jurors in.
each parish. Those appointed were
all Democrats, and this gave them
majority of police jurors, or county
returning boards, as he called them
in. every parish in the State, with one.
exception, and in this exceptional
parish the Republican. majority was
driven away by armed Democrats.

Garcelon says he first heard of the
counting out" scheme from the
newspapers, and admits that he was
pleasantly surprised" at the results
of that marvellous tabulatiOn by his
Council which cheated the people of
Maine out of their will as expressed
through the ballot-box. He isn't so
shrewd as the accomplished Innocent
ne so palpably initiates. Tilden also
heard first of the cipher frauds of
his wicked partners through the
newspapers, but he didn't make the
mistake of saying he was pleasantly
surprised" He was indignant and
"rebuked" the ciphers warmly in
public, and set them at work again.

Mr.. Garfield is one of the most eff,
fective speakers in Congress, and his
powers. have rarely bsen exerted to.
greater advantage than on Wednes-
day of last week, when he likenud
the attitude of the Democratic party
on the question of the constitutions,
ality of the Federal election law to
that of Denis Kearney on the Chi,
nese question. Representative Me-.
Mahon frankly admitted ON Tuesday
that his party would not respect the,
decision of the Supreme Court, and
would still refuse to make appropri-
ations for the pay of special deputy
marshals and Mr.. Garfield forcibly
demonstrated the true significance of,
this attitude in the simple query :,
".What dare Congress say to Denis
Kearney and his associates if it an
nounces itself as the leader of. the
laWbreakers of A merica ?" If the
Democratic leaders in the House be- /,
lieve the country will sustain them
in this defiance of the Supreme.
Court, they are likely to be rudely
awakened from their dream at the
next election. .-..

The Columbia Herald is contem-
plating charging. This is because,
at present, there is not room fos i'm

Since the New Orleans Times has
spread Itself over seven columns, of
space IT is as lively and chatty as an
old maid at church sociable.
The editors of the Vienna Senti-
mel and Merehouse Clarion are
throwing literary missils at each
other. We recomiend they pur-
,chase bean shooter each and re-
tire to a secluded spot and forever
settle the difference of opinion ex-
listing between them.
The Georgia Telegraph and Mes
senger, published at Macon, has put
gu a new dress, and adopted modern
head lines which add greatly to the
beauty of its make mp. Of course
she matter Of the paper has not
been improved, for that was not
possible.
The Shreveport Daily THres has
been enlarged to a Is column pepper.
We are glad to note this sign Of
prosperity IN the Times. Recent
issues are extra good ones. We be.
heve, too, that the people of Shreve-
port are beginning to patIonize it
literally, and surely the advertisers
do.
The Portland Standard has start
ed on its fifth year. The Standard
is solid paper, whose strong point
is State news and sterling Democra-
cy. The various newspaper compli-
cations of Oregon never disturb it
in any way. The Standard has been
decided success, and has made
place for itself among intelligent
people of the Pacific coast, to which
it is thoroughly entitled.
