For several years the British government
has been trying by legislation to suppress
corrupt practices at elections. This year it
has enacted very stringent measure. 1t
fixes the maximum beyond which the ex.
penditure of money cannot go. Compare
sons cannot be made between British and
American practice, because in England the
candidate has boon obliged to pay the ex-
penses of polling places and election officers.
1t was stated recently by the British attorney
general in debate in the House of Commons
that the last parliamentary election cost the
candidates the enormous sum of CO, 500 600.
The present bill reduces these expenses to
100000. This will be great relief to the
pockets of candidates for Parliament, wheth.
er it promotes the purity of the suffrage or

The long drawn-out Tewksbury almshouse
investigation reaches partisan ending in
very long majority and minority reports
the former signed by the Republican mem
bors of the Massachusetts legislature, and the
latter by the Democratic members. The ma.
jority report pronounces the Governors attack
''groundless and cruel, and declares that the
truth should have been ascertained before
making such sweeping charges The minor
ity accepts as true all the evidence of the
prosecution, as evidently unreliable and false
as much of it was, and holds that the officers
of the institution "are guilty of the most
willful neglect, of populations without paral.
lei, the most abandoned debauchery and cru.
city the most wanton." This latter report is
alleged to be the work of E. G. Carrigan.

The contest over the senatorship in New
Hampshire has now been in progress some
six weeks, and is apparently no nearer an end
than it was three weeks ago 10 the out

it seems to involve the issue of machine"
against 'anti-machino" Republicans, Mr..
Rollins at first and now Secretary Chandler
being regarded as the representative of the
former element. New Hampshire is not such
an overwhelmingly Republican state that the
leaders of the party there can proong the
contest without danger of inficting an inju-

must themselves see this, and it is to be
hoped that in the conference which they are
to hold to-day peaceful and satisfactory
outcome of the struggle will be inaugurated.

If reports from Washington are true, the
country is to be treated this fall to another
star-route trial, the object of the government
this time being TO recover of the swindling
contractors over a million dollars wrongfully
received by them. John W. Peck heads the
list, his portion of the loss which the govern
ment seeks to recover being nearly $500, 900.
V. W. Parker will be sued for $179, 600, and
eight other contractors for amounts ranging
from S2l, 600 to $4,000 in each case. A
part of the evidence against these men has
been obtained within the last six months, and
the cases, now measurably complete, have
been turned over by the postmaster general
to the department of justice. As to the re-
suit, the outcome of the recent criminal pros
eeution affords no encouraging augury; yet
the government is in duty bound to follow
the rascals to the farthest extent of the law.

The Chicago Times has the follow
ing: The time Is approaching when
the commissions OF several Of the
United States surveyor generals in the
western states and territories will ex-
pire, and several interesting contests
will soon be in bloom, says a Washing
ton telegram. The first is that of Ed.
win c. David, surveyor general of
Wyoming, who was appointed to that
office eight years ago by General Grant.
His term expires the 14th of January
next, and it is doubtful If he will be his
W successor. His most formidable
opponent is Mr.. ] w. Medium, of Lara
mic, Wyo., who was defeated for con-
gress in that territory last fall, and
whose brother was recently placed at
the head of the surveyor generals Of
tice in Colorado. MI. Medium is said
to be a young man of 80, and has an
extensive and influential following in
Colorado and Wyoming, who are urg-
ing his claims. The principal objection
to the retention of Mr.. David appears
to be that he does his inanciering
through the democratic banking house
of Delegate Post, Of that territory, and
that he exerted his influence toward
the success of the democratic party last
fall. He has also incurred the dis
pleasure of many Of the surveyors of
both Wyoming and Colorado, and it is
thought by one of their number who is
here, that Secretary Teller will recon-
mend a change to the president. Both
Mr.. Medium and Mr.. David are here,
and are exerting every means in their
power each to secure the position.
