The semi-weekly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1879-1882, 1881-11-24

Gtuc6 6icctiOu uay We he'S 1850
ed several communication from dif-
ferent parts Of the county regarding
the purchase and sale Of votes, but as
vet No positive and practical remedy
has been advanced. The editor Of
our Burlington column dealt ably
with the subject in recent issue and
intimated that q "Committee Of One
Hundred" (PhiIadelphia idea) was
talked of in that place for protection
at the polls against the evil referred
to. To us it seems to be problem
more difficult than the temperance
question Of solution. No Law could
be framed that would overcome it,
and popular sentiment. while always
tending to follow in the path Of righ' i,
is not yet strong enough to condemn
it wholly. With most people there
ID no conception of the magnitude Of
the army of "Hoatsrs," or properly
speaking men who vote for a money
consideration and not from principle.
This slass of men must not be set
down altogether as the poor, ignorant,
and weak-minded, because 10 this
army there are the avaricious, the
mean, the miaer, all of whom may be
educated above such a level. Now,
what is to be done? Let us put this
"Hoating" element in the foreground
aud then ask, which of the great
parties dare proclaim to the people,
"We will not stain our record with it's
purchase again; we will put our ticket
before the whole people and have it
elected on its merits" A disgusting
result would follow. These men
would be gathered up by the opposi-
ton aud with the strength gained
thereby would sweep the county, nc
matter what class Of men were ON the
ticket, and popular feeling, however
strong, could not overcome it, whereas
now that money Is spent in this man
ner on both sides, the masses have
the balance Of power, as the votes Of
these ''cattle" do not all tend in one
direction. Il Is absurdsdly true and
quite natural fer the defeated party al
IN election to ory "mopsy defeated
u.s." but they invariably add that
eff they had only been blessed with
more Of the "stuff" the result would
have been different" There are lie,
gitimate expenses attendant upon I
canvass and election which each party
and lite candidates are compelled t.
meet. Tickets are to DO printed, the
voters must be got out, and some are
aged, some are infrm and SONS are
too lazy to walk to the polls. Teams
must be hired and on election day
men In sufficient numbers Gre engsg,
cd about the polls as ticket distribu.
tors and wstchers. AL these expens.
% are legitimate and must bs met by
those interested, but they oil stop
here, and II would be we'll II they did,
but unfortunately they do not.
Again We ask, what is to be done
We have no remedy to offer, and can
think OF none that would be effective,
Still we place much stress upon the
ability Of the masses to eventually
break up this business. Money does
not always win, as the defeat Ct Nh.

tify, - he spent almost half-a-miIlion
dollars in an effort to make q Con.

miserably.

iNsUFFICIENCY OF SENATOR DAYIs's BILL TO RE-
LIEVE THE TREASURER OFT UNITED STATES.
IBr TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-TLa unfinished business
before the Senate is the hill Introduced by Senator
Davis. of West Virginia, to relieve the Treasurer
Of the United States from the amounts now charged
to him and deposited with the several States
Several Secretaries Of the Treasury aud Treasures
Of the United states have earnestly cal ed attention
to the Inconvenience resulting from the necessity
which now exists Of reporting, III every daily,
monthly, quarterly and annual cath statement Of
the Treasurer the sums which % e. make up what
are known as the unavailable funds of
the Department. These moneys have passed
beyond the control Of the Department.
What the Treasury authorities have for years been
recommending is authority for the Register to open
a new SET of books upon winch the Treasurer may
be credited with the amount Of the unavailable
funds and with such losses as occur from time to
time through no fault of his own; the respective
amounts to be charged upon the same books to the
persons States or corporations from when they
supposed to be due.
Senator Davis in his Treasury investigation be-
came aware of the annoyance caused by this en-
forced system of practically fictitious bookkeeping,
and set for himself the task of securing n
legislative remedy. Upon his request the Secretary
of the Treasury caused a bill to be drawn
M embodyng the necessary provisions, and sent it
to him. For some unexplained reason the Senator
did not introduce the bill sent to him. but selected
one item out of the account, and made 1t alone the
subject of his efforts He proposes. in effect. 10
credit the Treasurer with the $2S,OOOOO0 OF sur
plus revenue divided among the States III the year
1887 and to give the amount TO the States them
selves.
The presentation of this measure in the Senate
raised unnecessary Issue at once Senators from
States which have been created since that year and
which of course received none of the surplus rcVe
nues, protest against the gift OF 80 much money 10
the older States. The latter have never asked for
the passage of such measure, and the Treasurer of
the United States says the bill will no, relieve him
in the slightest degree lie can easily carry"
an account involving thirty millions as one OF two
millions, and the smaller amount is capable OF
creating quite as much confusion III the pubic
mind as the latter.
