In speaking of the ballot box stuffing
Republican has the following sensible arti-
Gle:
There are many republicans, who read
only the regulation radical reports of the
tissue ballot voting in South Carolina, who
imagine the republican managers in that
state are mere innocent lambs, whose
guileless simplicity makes them the easy
victims of fraud. The truth is, however
the whole ballot-box stuffing system in
South Carolina is the connection of the
republican party when in power in that
state. By the provisions of a statute,
passed in 1872 by the republicans, when
an election is closed at any precinct the
ballots are counted to ascertain the mum
Der in the box. If it turns out that there
are more ballots in the box than
the whole number of voters, the
BALLOTS are returned to the
the box and shaken uD, and
as many are drawn from the box as will
reduce the number to the limit of the num-
Der of voters. This extraordinary law was
manifestly passed to relieve the farcical
feature of elections held by negroes when
their propensity to vote caused them to
cast many more votes than there were
NOtGTS. AS 10 LilG bISSuC DdlIObS, dDOuI
which so much is said, the impression
sought to be made is that this is device
of democrats only. The law to which we
have alluded shows that it was to precisely
this sort of thing it had reference, and that
its object was to make this character of
fraud possible. In the debate in the house
at Washington on the Dibble- Mackey case,
Mr.. Miller had what he claimed to be
tissue ballots voted by the democrats
in Charleston county. Mr.. Dibble, allud-
ing to this, exhibited the ballots used
in his own county, Orangeburg.
They were on plain white paper with no
design. He sent to the clerks desk what
he denominatedaa genuine tissue ballot, an
original one. The clerk read from it the
name of E. W. M. Mackey for congress,
and the full republican ticket. The ticket
was held up and inspected with much sat
isfaction and amusement by the Democrats
Republicans looked sheepish when Mr.
Dibble suggested that they should compare
it with the democratic tissue, they would
find it thinner and smaller. This shows
pretty plainly the degree of Innocence of
this South Carolina wing of the republican
party. And when the character of the two
men who appeared to contest the case
one citizen of as high standing as any in
congress, the other shuffiing trickster-is
considered, the people of all sections ought
to be able to estimate fairly the animus of
the late proceedings.

The Decoration Day orations of the
present year have received closer analyti-
cal criticism than has ever before been ac-
corded them. The Chicago Neacs ventured
the following:
Men went to the front for scores of
reasons. Men went because they were
drafted and had to go; because they were
tempted by the bounty; because from
poverty or some other cause they had sold
themselves as substitutes; because they
saw in the service route to subsequent
political preferment All these were
prominent among the inducements to en-
list; few, if any, went to save the country
or to die for. it.
The Inter Ocean assails the above, and
in the course of its remarks says:
Think of it. The Turks who went
down in columns at Schipka Pass, or who
starved to death at Plevna, were fervid
patriots; the French soldiers and peasants
who first fought the Germans and then
among themselves were lovers Of their
country. The ignorant Beers in Africa
were moved by a patriotic impulse when
they defied the British armies; but the two
million men in the United States who left
their homes and gave up their business to
defend the Union were not patriots. The
Turkish soldiers were moved to sacrifice
themselves because of their deep religious
feeling and their love of their own institu-
tons; the Beers sprang to arms, moved by
the same patriotic impulse that made
heroes at Thermopyle and at Bunker Hill;
but in 1861 the Americans having so much
at stake, daving drunk deeper of the pleas
ures of freedom than any other nation,
went into the army because they were
drafted and had to go, because they were
tempted by bounty, because they were
poor and wanted money or office. The
ignorant Boer in Africa thought only of
his family and his country, and hurried to
battle; the educated American, caring
nothing for family or home, or institutions
or country, sold himself as a substitute.
The Russians who crossed the Balkans,
the Germans who captured Paris, the Brit
ish who swept across the Afghan wilder
ness, showed they were made in soldierly
mould. But the men who went with Sher-
man to the sea, or who stood with Thomas
at Chickamauga or who followed Grant to
Richmond and beyond, were moved by no
patriotic or soldierly impulse. They had
no interest in the matter. They were in
the army because they wanted the pay.
This is where the argument of the
lMornang Neaos leads us. But the people
will not follow. The most rabid copper
head or the vilest traitor never said any
thing worse than the Neaos says now.
There was no call for such an utterance:
there is no excuse for it,

Bishop Gilmour of the Cleveland Catho
lie diocese is having trouble with the
Catholic women under his jurisdiction, on
account of the Land league. He preach
ed a sermon against the Ladies' Land
league and the women of the congrega-
ton, and some of them told him to mind
his own business. The bishop then pro-
mulgated paper to be read in all the
churches of the diocese accommodating
from Catholic communion any Catholic
women who should thereafter attend the
meetings of the Ladies' Land league, or
join the league At subsequent meeting
of the league in Cleveland, the ladies de
clared their attention to hold fast to the
league. They said: 1--WE have done
nothing against the church as Irishwomen
We have organized society to aid Ireland.
