the October election. 1t appears that
the principal reason assigned was that
the local authorities were all Democratic,
at least that Is the reason for the appli-
cation to the department of funds, al
though covered up by sophistical nom
sense. There never was as much rioting
and bloodshed in Cincinnati as at that
election, nor as much downright vii
lainy practiced under the thin guise Of
endeaYor to prevent it,
The fact is that there was no earthly
necessity for such interference, and il is
becoming apparent that some stop must
be put to uuealled for Intervention Of
federal power. The people will love
the general government when il moves
within its own orbit and allows the same
privilege to the state. Under Republi-
can rule they were learning to distrust
the national authority aud in a country
like tins, it is absolutely necessary that
it should rest on the love and respect OF
the citizens. Call halt then to this az
gressivo disposition and let the great
principles of the founders of our repub,
lie prevail; that the United States is a
government with limited end delegated
powers. This truth loses no force from
its repetition, and it seems necessary TO
proclaim now more than 3. any time in
the history of our country.

NEARLY every tramp that infests the
south in the winter months is a strong,
healthy person, who could make an hon
est living by honest labor. But they go
on the principle that the world owes
them living and thew arc after it. 1t
matters not how industrious and frugal
a good man may be, these worthless,
travelling tramps visit his home and
prevail upon the inmates to give them
something to eat, and in nine times out
of ten will steal something if an oppor-
tunity offers. The way 30 treat them is
to send them of without giving them a
particle of food, and If they do not leave
the premises promptly sat the dogs on
them. These tramps are entitled to no
consideration and should be treated as
public nuisances and common Vaga-
bonds.

Observation-Disclosures NOTq

"Cau any Statesman who properly re-
CARDS the necessity Of pure ballot-box
assign q good reason why the nine
teeuth legislature should not exact II
registration law? II SO, wo would be
glad to have him speak out in meeting"
The HERALD would no or the Laredo
Times, from which the above query is
extracted, to section 1, article q, title
suffrage of the state constitution, for
Almost emphatic answer, in these words:
"Section 4. In all elections by the
people the vote shall DO by ballot, and
the legislature shall provide for the
numbering OF tickets anu make such
other regulations "a may be necessary
to detect and punish fraud aud pre-. erve
the purity of the ballot-box; but no law
shall ever bo enacted requiring regis.
ration OF the voters of this state"
The question was fully discussed nv
the fNmors of the constitution, aud this
crushing Inhibition against registration
was overwhelmingly carried, because OF
the universal disgust ongeuderod un
der tho military aud RECONSTRUCTED,
registration, from 1865 to 1873. The man
hood of the state demanded It's utter oh
Iteration. Bat, as far better socurit,
against fraudulent voting, they Pre-
vided, in section . of the same article
that "all electors shall vote in the cleo
lion precinct of thoir residence" Speak
ing for Dallas county, with the larges
voting population Of any county in tn
state, tho constitutional provision is on
tirely satisfactory.
