Tho worst feature of American poll
tics is the filthy shower of scandal and
calumny with which candidates aro as
smiled from the moment of their nomina-
tion. No party is free from this vicious
practice. The most bameless character
cannot escape the'smearing breath of mis-
representation when an office is in ques-
tion. Fortunately, the people have
learned to look beyond this style of war;
fare and recognize the fact that our pub
lie men are not tho odious, unscrupulous
miscreants falsifying journals and low
toned stump orators paint them to be.
Democratic newspapers and democratic
politicians are notoriously given to
scandalous and malignant personal itnpu-
tations against the candidates of the
great party that has so long triumphed
over them in tho esteem of the people.
Upon Lincoln, Grant, and Garfield they
poured without stint allegations and
charges SO, odious that they were beyond
hoiiof Taught nothing by the past, and
vainly hoping to divert the attention of
the people from the vital material ques-
tions at issue, the democracy and their al
lies have, as usual, began waging o relent-
less war of slander against the personal
characters of Blaine and Logan. But
within the last few days this current of
mudslinging has been seriously checked
by counter blast making the most seri-
Gus charges against Gov. Cleveland. 1t
is source of qualification that the story
circulated with much circumstantial de-
tail in regard to the immoralities of Glove
land is being laid before the people
mainly by such sensational democratic
journals as the Cincinnati Enquirer 1t
may be a true indictment, or it may not,
but at any rate, it is disgusting story OF
sexual immortality with which no news
paper should dare to invade the homes of
it's readers. Leaving to scandal monger-
ing newspapers the retailing of this story,
it is still pertinent to observe that our
! democratic contemporaries, now that
their own OK is being gored, may realize
that lying political slandors, like curses
come home to roost.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1884-07-24

There is trouble among the Louisiana
democracy. In every parish there arc
conscientious gentlemen who can no
longer endure tho infamous frauds and
crimes by which democratic ascondancy
is maintained in the face of enormous
republican majoritics. The Concordia
Eagic, II democratic newspaper published
at Vidalia, Concordia parish, explains tho
cause of tho revolt. In Corcordia parish,
for instance, thoro arc 1884 oolorod
people and 1890 white people. There arc
about 3,iO0 colorcd voters and from $50 to
$40 white voters. To keep parish like
this ''solidly" democratic is q task which
has become too burdcnsome. Hon. George
j. Walton, distinguished democrat, who
represented the parish in both branches
Of the legislature and was recently speaker
Of the senate, has got tired of falsely rep
rosunting u republican constituency and
has concluded to become republican
Walton thus characterizos the Louisiana
mode of carrying elections:
our elections in this state nrc notoriously
carried by the most open and shameless
ilnuds-rcquircd by the "mnchine" that now
governs affairs Of state. This moral corruption
Is calculated and will, in time. uudcr.ss a.R,'
utterly destroy organized governmgA md re-.
llcct dishcnor upon the very naB,fof liberty
The sooner the nouplo understand this and ris,
mp and assert their manhood, lay hold of this
WhUl lcproSy aud utterly destroy and crasi,
cate II from their political system, the better
for their vital interests.
Tho Eagle says that from dcsultory in
luiry IL has obtained the names of moro
than one hundred and fifty white men Of
the substantial and influential class
who have declared their inten ton OF
voting for Blaine and Logan. With u
fair election Concordia parish will be
almost solidly republican. Precisely the
same sentiment exists in Catahoula
parish. and, in fact. in the whole sugar
growing region. Mr.. Walton in his ad-
dress says that in his own case "thc
change is more apparent than real" Be-
fore the war he was whig, and he still
believes in protective tariff and liberal
appropriations for internal improve.

and left o balance in our favor of $36,632.-
5SS. Is il best now to shut up our fac
tories, already working on n narrow
margin Of profit, reverse this action Of our
trade, and again pile up the balances
against us2
For whose beneiit2 These balances in
favor of Europe do not help the working
classes of Europe, but directly enrich and
add power to the governing class. They
sustain the standing armies, which help
to onslave tho laborers.
How much have tho Irish laborors been
benefited in Ireland by the wealth ac-
cumulatcd by Great Britain by supplying
us with anufacturos2 The laborers of
Europe arc given barely enough to sus-
tain life, whether trade and anufactures
are profitable or unproftablo. But any
important reduction of tariff now would
bring great distress at hoire. Millions of
mon, women, and children havo beon
trained to lines of special work. Whole
cities have been built up by manufacture
ing. The railroad system has been
largely constructed with reference to 1t.
The laborers are not adapted to farm
life, even If the agricultural business was
| prosperous. A radical change now would
change the order of society, aud, to a
material extent, the map of the country.
Manufacturing cities would decline. The
few importing cities woullvastly increase.
The laborers must Study this question
for themselves, and determine which
party is most likely to give tho indus
tries ip Which they are engaged the best
encouragement and protection. The
tariff docs not make the rate of wages.
That is u question solely between en-
ployers and employees, but the tariff has
created the industries out of which tho
wages are paid, and it would be as foolish
for the laborers to take up weapons
against encouragement and protection
of manufactures" as IL would be to tear
down their own dwellings. With few
moro years Of such prosperity as we have
had for eight years past, Europe will be
forced 10 return all the coin and bullion
sent abroad, and. instead of being trib-
ute-paying nation, our wealth, us well
as influence, will be felt in every corner
of the globe.

A very interesting question has been
raised by the filing of . petition in the
supreme court of appeals of Virginia
praying for Il mandamus directing John
Bell Bigger, "keoper Of the rolls" to
strike from tho rolls the act passed by
the last Legislature reapportioning the
state into congressional districts. A rule
was granted against Mr.. Bigger retnrna-
ble July 81 when the case will be heard.
Hon. John $. Wise is the petitioner, and
the object of tho proceeding Is to test the
validity OF the new apportioument act.
Tho main question at issue is as to
whether the court has any authority to
grant the relief prayed for. II the ques-
ton of jurisdiction is settled in favor of
the petitioner, it would seem that tho
law will have to be annulled.
As is generally known, the npportion-
ment made by the bourbon legislature is
Outrageous.y unjust but the judicial
power cannot reach il for that reason. If
it was passed by constitutional majority
il will have TO stand until the legislative
power corrocts the wrong. But il is
alleged that the bill never was passed in
tho manner required by the constitution.
Aftor the bourbons had arbitrarily un-
seated enough of the read juster members
OF the legislature TO give them two
thirds majority in each house the bill
was passed. 10 WAS vetoed by Gov.
Cameron, and when it caue up in tho
senate the second time Con. Wyckham
asked to DO excused from voting. The
constitution Of Virginia requires that u
bill from which the governor with holds
his approval cannot become a law unless
passed by the affirmative vote of two
thirds Of tho members of each house.
The record shows that the apportiOn-
ment bill received q JWo-thirds vote OF
the members who answered the roll-call
but not two-thirds of the members pre-
sent. For this reason the republicans
maintain that il is invalid.
The democrats cOncode that the consti-
tuition requires II two.thirds vote Of the
members of each house who are actually
present., but they contend that II court
cannot 20 behind the record to impoach
tho validity Of law, and cannot inquire
whether the bill WIS passed by u two
thirds majority or not, A case involving
substantially the same point is pending
in Maryland. At the last session of the
legislature bill WAS introduced to
amend tho criminal code so as to give a
colorcd woman tho Same remedy against
the father of hor illogitimate child, to
compel him to provide for its support, as
the law gives TO white woman. In
point o fat the bill was rejected by the
house of delegates, but by some extra
ordinary b,uudor it was enDlled, signed
