The 1913 electoral votes from the SOL
id South claimed by the Democrats
would not be received by any honest party.
Every one knows that at least thirty of
them are fraudulent, as elections have
been conducted for years past. That
number is based on the assumption that
the whole voting population is privileged
to exercise the right of the elective fran
chise without let or hindrance, except as
the law restricts. But it is notorious that
this is not the case. In some States not
more than one-half Of the popular vote is
polled-the great bulk Of this inhibited
vote being that of the colored people, who
as much constitute the basis of the cleo!
toral vote as the whites. This vote is
suppressed, but the political power predi-
Gated on It is claimed and appropriated, in
the interest of the Democratic party
This is a palpable, crying fraud-power
attained by false pretenses and should no
more be allowed than would the obtaining
Of goods under false pretenses, be sane
toned in the courts. A party that de-
ponds upon such a condition of things for
its success ought to berepudiated by every
honest voter. tf %.

The time for action is in our youth. 1t
is then that we gather in the grapes.
With freckled faces, Sunburnt hands and
bare feet we wander from vine to vine,
from trellis to trellis in the very exuber-
ance Of childish glee and spirits. In age
we quietly sit in the shade, and while the
hours away in conversation with our
friends while we sip the wine, which is
the better for the long years which have
passed since the vintage. In youth we
should learn wisdom. 1t is thus we should

Perupd is the greatest medicine ever dis

Fraudulent voting gave the State to Sey-
mour in 1868. In 1876 great many indie
pendent voters came up to the help of
Tilden, under the impression that he was
a reformer. A score of five victories out
of q possible seven with one in dispute)
certainly warrants lively hope of win

when our New York Republicans do their
best the odds are largely in favor of their
winning.

Matrimonial Markets.

The tendency OF modern times is for
a man who is thinking of taking a wife to
ask not what she is, but what she has In
this important detail widows generally
possess the advantage. Very few are
left totally unprovided for-the skull
and crossbones have generally been gilt
for them, even if thinly; for in every
class of life man of common decency
tries to do at least something for his
widow, if he is. doomed to have one-or
to leave one would perhaps be the more
accurate expression. The old chivalrous
days when lovesick SWANS made sonnets
to their mistress eyebrows, and were
ready to face any straits of poverty or
danger, provided only they won the
heart of some fair maid, have long since
passed away; the majority of men do
not appreciate the idylic beauty of love
in cottage, and strive to add by mar
riage to their comfort and position,
rather than to imperil either, ever so
slightly, for the sake of the woman they
love.
They have keen eye for bargains,
and if they can only secure one In the
matrimonial market they have no obiec-
ton to its being secondhand. It is
comparatively exceptional for young
girl to bring a substantial dowry to her
husband; she may be an heiress, but the
waiting may be long.
But in the case of well-to-do widow
the pecuniary advantages for her second
husband are immediate and tangible.
She is mistress of her fortune, and
the lucky winner of her secondhand
affections can enter at once into the en-
joyment of the solid possessions which
enhance the attractions of his inamo-
rata, or, it may be, atone for her short
comings, Widows are always consid-
cred excellent game by fortune hunters
for this reason, and the majority of
widows who remarry find their ro-
mances end very prosaically. For, be
it said, it is often marriage of entire
affection which is made by a widow
