pr,bery An EpxiIsh Elections.

II is quite possible that 80 soon alter the
election Americans may not be in condi'
ton to moralize on the bribery and cor
ruption employed in English elections,
and It is, therefore, well TO note at once
that the Macclesfeld Commission investi'
eating cases OF bribery in the last farlia'
mentary election found that Of the 5,6S4
persons who voted in that borough, over
four thousand were bribed. The price OF
avote during the morning was six shill-
ings, soy one dollar and half, but it TAD
yanced to sovereign" as the day went on.
Now, bad as we may be in this country, 1t
may DO said with certainty there is
no election district in any. cities
where such large proportion OF
voters, or anything within can
non shot OF 1t, can be bought for money
al go much head. There Is q great deal
OF trading, sales OF votes for Offices or
promises OF appointments, &C., and there
Is repeating and ballot box stuffing aud
false counting, but the great mass OF
American voters, even OF those who wink
at the "dirty work" OF politicians, prize
the right to vote too highly to sell their
ballots for money. In this Macclesfield
case the "Liberals" do not appear to have
lived up to their name. They were liberal
enough until halt.past three o'clock, when
their success was assured, when they re-
fused to give more than half a crown
(about sixty Cents) for vote. One OF the
curious features otthe investigation is that

1850 the hours had been reduced to sixty

MILWAUKEE, March 1a.-That faction Of the

ing to bring about the nomination OF T. Fl.
Brown feel highly elated over the announce
ment just made that ", P. McLaren is out Of
the race. The latter has written letter in
which he declines to have his name used in the
Convention His reason Is that he does not pro-
pose to engage in scramble for Office. He secs
that those who are bitterly opposed to the pres
ent Mayor and Chief -of-Police are determined
to have Brown nominated, and that the
party is likely to become badly divided
in making the nominations This he does not
wish to be responsible for. We're it not for the
fact that Brown Is vigorously opposed by the
Hsrald and the Germanta, bis nomination would
now be assured. These are Republican Journals
Of greAt influence, and without their aid the
party cannot be successful in local contest
Messrs- John Rugee and E. F.. Matthews are
coming to the front. Senator Van Schalck is,
in reality, the strongest man the Republicans
could run, but he has private reasons OF a
political complexion for wishing to be left out.

The Convention will be held on THURSDAY, March

but refused to see her upon several oc-
caslons when she sent her card to me,
and one day when I WIS passing through

me to talk to me about her bill I refused to
stop or to hold any conversation with her, and
did hear about that time that she was threaten
ing to get even with all the Senators who op-
p,eed her bill. This, suppose, is her grudge
against me- In that very letter she admits In

MONTREAL, March 13.-The receipts at the

Considerable interest has been created In brsi-
hess circles by the action Of the United State9
customs authorities in OBTAINING several ship

some persons to effect conviction and connsea-

The wool passed through the customs at st. Al

Special Revenue Agents, who contanded that
IT was improperly classified Is "coubng"

agreement was arrived at between the shipper

ANOTHER COLORED AANS STORY.
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 13.-Before the
Exodus COMMITTEES to-day a colored man. Henry
Adams, testified that, in 1865 and 1906 In De Soto
Parish, La, he was shot at twice By bands OF
white men, the reason glven for the assault be-
ing that he was trying to get negroes to leave
the parish.
Witness had been in Arkansas and Texas On
the Society's business, and found the condition
Of the negroes in Texas very bad. He did not
wish to tell all his business He expected to get
killed, il he went back, for what he had already
said. The negroes favoring migration had more
trouble from negro teachers and politicians than
from anybody else. >.--.,.
Mr. Vance examined the witness regarding
the amount the negroes could make by agri-
culture, the result OF which Was the final ad-
mission that the dishonesty Of merchants and
planters alone prevented negro cult1vators from
making plenty OF money Witness would hardly
admit that the negroes were better treated under
Democratic than under Republican rules but
thought such n result might be expected, be-
cause when ths Republicans were In power the
Democrats were tempted to gain an election
here and there by 1ntimfdating the negroes,
whereas now the Democrats have control they
find it easier merely the count out the negro
votes The negroes hare to pay more taxes
NOW than under Republican rule, and formerly
the whites paid more than now.
Witness explained this on the theory TINT
Democratic officers we're enabled through this
ignorance Of the negroes to collect more than
was really due from them.
