crackers, or the ignition of other
kinds of fireworks, is constitutional
even though the effect of it be to
prevent Chinese from performing
funeral rites at the graves of de-
parted friends that they regard as
obligatory and sacred in a high
degree. a Chinaman was arrested
in San Jose for violating this
ordinance at a funeral Of one of
his countrymen, and was adjudged
guilty in the lower court. On ap-
peal, this judgment was affirmed
on the ground that, while the state
constitution guaranteed to all men,
without distinction. the free OBJ
servance of their religion, it ex-
cepts acts or practices that are in
consistent with the peace and Sc

shares to-day, forcing Northern
Pacific down from Al to 39g, pre-
ferred from IS to 744, and Oregon
Transcontinental from cog to 645.
Rumors are current that the shorts
in these stocks are compiling a cir
cular, intended to show the fnan-
cial condition of the company
in a favorable light. Telegraphic
orders were sent to Philadelphia
to sell shares in this market, with
a view of creating the impression
that the long stock held in Phila-
delphia was coming upon the
market.

The Postal Telegraph Job.

Inc fOstdl IelegTdpn JOus
JAY GOULD and his associates
would be willing to sell the West
ern Union Telegraph property to
the government at about three
times Its actual cost. They claim
that by a purchase, to be paid in
3 per cent. bonds, the government
would make a good bargain at this
price, and be able at once to COM
mand an organized postal tele-
graph machinery. This scheme has
so much money in it, and will be
backed by so many seductive in
fluences, that it cannot fail to have
a large support in Congress and
outside of Congress among politi-
clans, jobbers, spectators, and a
powerful lobby. But strong as
this support is likely to be by en-
listingth the aid of great corporations,
that always make common cause
when their rival interests do not
demand hostility, it may be doubt
ed whether the project will be Sc
riously entertained next session
by the house Of representatives.
The experiment may be tentatively
made with q view of feeling the
pulse of both parties. Even the
friends of this scheme would hesi-
tate on the eve of a presidential
election, to force 4 vote. All they
probably expect to do is to pre-
pare the way by the introduction
of bills, and possibly with the hope
of a favorable report, which would
stand good for the short closing
session, when jobs have better
chance of success than alta long ses-
sion. The Postmaster-General is ex-
amining the general subject Of pos
tai telegraphy, and, like his imme-
date predecessors, he viii doubt
less favorit. Plausible arguments
can be made for the scheme, and
when power and patronage are to
be greatly increased these argu-
ments may be enforced with full
share of partisan zeal.
The country has seen and felt
the effect of the oliice-holders on
elections, especially in the last two
Presidential campaigns. They
form a standing army OF one hun
dred and twenty-five thousand
active, efficient, and generally un-
scrupulous politicians, who con-
tribute money, votes, and services
to the party which has held the
government continuously for twen-
ty-two years. If the postal tele-
graph shoald be adopted this army
would be increased at least one
fifth of the aggregate force, and at
an expense far exceeding that in

Before the Proper Tribunal.

New Orleans States a.
Some of the parties charged with
perpetrating frauds in She late city
election, have ut length been brought
before the State Criminal Court for
trial.
This is the proper tribunal in which
to arraign these men. They are en-
titled to fair trial and we expect
them to receive it. At the same time
the people are entitled to justice in
this disgraceful matter, and every
citizen who is interested in good gov
eminent demands that the law officers
representing the State shall leave no
stone unturned to bring to light all
the facts and convict every man who
is guilty. The States denunciation
of the interference of the Federal
Court in these cases was prompted
by no sympathy for the parties impli-
Gated in the ballot.box stufing and
the Justification of the election re-
turns. Both as Democrats and law
abiding citizens, we are anxious to
see the guilty parties convicted. Bnt
at the same time we shall always repel
Federal interference in our elections
as fraught with greater danger to
good government than the escape of
a few ballot-box suffers As we have
said, however, the State courts have
now taken up these indictments, and
in behalf of the people we shall watch
their trial jealousy. The Democratic
party has no interest in the perpetra-
ton of election frauds. On the con-
trary, the extent to which this nefari-
GUS business has been carried has so
disguised and incensed thousands of
good citizens, that at the very time
when We are approaching national
election, in which there is every pros
pect that q united Democracy viii
carry the country, we are threatened
with a formidable break from the
party in this State. If these men are
innocent-clearly innocent-we GER
tainly do not desire their conviction,
but neither do we desire to see them
escape justice on some puerile and
contemplate technically of the law. |
Let the officers of the law do their
full duty now and they will deserve |
the thanks of the people at large and |
Of the Democratic party in particular. |

Step by step we advance in the
pathway of Federal ascendency over
the local home rule Of the States
The Supreme Court Of the United
States, in the case OF L. j. Davis
against the State of South Carolina,
has made a decision that goes a bow
shot beyond any previously rendered
in such matters. Davis was assisting
o United States Deputy Marshal to
arrest person charged with violating
the revenue laws, and shot and killed
the victim. He was arrested, tried
and convicted of manslaughter. He
obtained new trial in the State
Court, and thereupon asked to have
his case removed to the United States
Court for trial. The Supreme Court
OF South Carolina held that the case
could not be removed. The Supreme
Court of the United States reverses
that judgment and directs the State
Court to dismiss all proceedings
against this man convicted of man
slaughter, for want of Jurisdiction
The United States Court holds that
deputy marshal of the United States,
engaged officially in lawful attempt
to enforce revenue law by the arrest
OF persons accused of offences against
it, is an officer acting under the au-
thority of that law, and is entitled to
trial in Federal Court; and that the
protection which the law furnishes to
the marshal and his deputy also
shields all who lawfully assist him in
the performance of his official duty.
1t may be all right for the United
States to protect" the men who STAY
citizens of the States, and to hold
that the State Courts have no iuris-
ton over men who commit murder,
but we can never be reconciled to
that mode of procedure.

Msrksville Review.l

Marksville Review
A number of our exchanges are
very emphatic in their disapproval of
what they consider the :too previous
discussion by country sheets" of who
who would or would not make good
Governor for Louisiana. Without
taking sides either pro or con, we
very much doubt whether the said
country sheets are wrong. If there
is one subject more dear or more i'm
portant to the good people of this
State than who shall be their rulers,
we are now at loss to call it to mind.
We have had sad experience in this
matter. Caucuses and combinations
have heretofore selected our rulers
and the people have been called to the
polls by one blast of the bugle, a
bugle more magical in its effect than
that of Roderic Dhu. The only quail
ification that the voters have been
asked to consider has heretofore been,
whether the candidate was a Demo-
GRAFT or a Republican. We can not for
the life of us see how any bad result
can arise from such occasional discus
sion by country sheet" although
representing the voters and not the
politicians of the State. The said
exchanges desire to wait till the eve
OF the election and let the politicians
and wire workers exclusively, attend
to that which SO nearly and SO dearly
concerns the whole people. Gentle
men, the people are more thoroughly
