Technical Dispute Over an Election.

Technical Dispute Over an Election.
Special to the indianapolis Jonrnas.
RICHMOND, May 6.-Republcans in this city
are to-day impressed with the adage that MANY
a truth is told in Jest" The tickets they voted
at the municipal election yesterday were but
two and one-half inches wide, while the
law says they shall be three inches
wide. The Democrats, dropping upon
the fact, threatened to have them all
thrown out in consequence and the threat was
treated as jest. But to-day. they were very
unreservad and determined in asserting that
they will resort to law in an endeavor to deny
the voice of the people. An important meeting
was held this morning. and further consulta-
ton of Democratic leaders, candidates and law
yers is in progress this evening.
Whether for prudential reasons or not,
the Republican candidates were ali sworn
in Immediately after they were formally de-
rlared elected receipt of the official returns at
10 o'clock this morning. The law EXPLICITLY
says the tickets shall be- uniform, three inches
vide, and devoid of ali distinguishing marks,
but whether it is directory mandatory as to
the size is the question, while it further says
no ticket shall be lest for want of form if the
judges are satisfied the person voted for the

Bishop Chatard and Freedom of Worship.
To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The statement attributed to Bishop Chatard
in this mornings Journal, touching the New
York freedom of worship bill. is strangely incor-
rect and therefore misleading He says: "The
purpose of that law is merely to allow US (the
Roman Catholic clergy to do what we do here in
Indiana, in Kentucky, and elsewhere in the
United States This purpose, he says, is liber-
ty to visit public Institutions such as hospitals,
houses of refuge prisons and such like, ito see
the sick, the suffering, to perform acts of Christ
ian charity and mercy, to administer the sacra-
ments," etc. and ''only to attend to those of
our own people who may desire our min
istration." Bishop Chatard ought to know
that if this were the only or the chief purpose of
the freedom of worship bill, there would not be
the slightest occasion for its introduction, nor
for any debate overit AS the law now stands, and
as it has stood Roman Catholics are as free to
visit the public institutions of the State of New
York for the purposes named by the Bishop as
are the Methodists, Baptists or Presbyterians.n
The Roman Catholics have all the freedom
granted to every other denomination. But they
are not satisfied with this. They want more.
They want liberty to inculcate their own pc
culiar dogmas. That is to say, they want to
introduce Sec.ariansm into the penal and char
liable institutions of the State of New York,
thing which, up to this time, has
been religiousy excluded The set cetera"
of Bishop Chatards statement covers the
meaning and purpose of the freedom of worship
BILL but it is the only thing in his explanation
that does cover it. Neither Mr.. McMasters nor
the Freeman's Journal is the best authority on
the purpose and effect of the obnoxious bill re-
ferred to. Bishop Chatard would do well to OBJ
serve the good old rule ''audi alteram partem'
hear the other side. The Bishop. doubtless
believes that 1.-The Catholic Church never de-
sires to entrench upon anybodys rights" but
if this be so, why mas it labored so long and so
zealously to exclude .Methodists, Baptists and
Presbyterians" from preaching the gospel say
in Rome? JAMES MCLEOD.

L1QuOf-SGileFS' 1nGF1660te
70 the Editor of the Indianapolis Jou rnai:
In this mornings Journal there occurs this
sentence: sit is now month since the provi-
sions of the new liquor law of Maine have gone
into effect and it is said that, despite their in
creased stringency, there is as much drunken
ness as before" That may be true in some
localities, but 'it is saidr quite the reverse in
other localities For instance, the mayor of
Camden writes: There are no saloons in Cam
den, and no place where intoxicating liquors are
now solo, openly or secretly. The law has GER
tainly caused decrease in crime there not hav-
ing been an arrest for drunkenness within the
past month" The mayor of ST. Adams writes:
"There is no liquor saloon in this town. Crime
is greatly decreased, and the law is enforced "
The mayor of Penbscot writes: There
is no saloon here. Crime has greatly decreased ;,
The mayor of York writes: There is not a
place here where liquor is Sold and the prohibi-
tory law has also decreased crime" The mayor
of Lubec writes: There has been a de-
crease of eighteen saloons, and crime
has been lessened. 1t is success. y
The mayor of Warren writes There are no
saloons here. and crime has decreased. The law
is a success" The mayor of Searsmont writes
'There is no saloon here. The law is a success y
The mayor of Livermore writes: '"There are no
saloons here and crime has decreased The
mayor of Rumford writes 1.-THE prohibitory
law has closed all saloons here and decreased
crime" The mayor of Jay writes: 1--WE seize
and spill all the liquors we find here
The law is success" The mayor of Penn
broke writes: 'sThe law is most assuredy a
success. 1t has decreased the saloons 100 per
cent" The Portland Argus says: I'm the first
three weeks of April 1884, there were 176 arrests
in Portland; in the first three in 1885, under the
new law IA; decrease of 1872 in twenty one
days" Neal Dow writes. April 81: Usually
there are ten to twenty trials on Tuesdays of ar
rested persons; to-day there is not one" l have
before me twenty seven other letters from may
ors of cities in Maine all but five of the same inn
port as these; thus indicating that. inefficient as
the Maine law is, it is uncomfortable for liquor
Sellers and these testimonies are not paraded
here as argument for prohibition, but simply
to call the attention of local liquor sellers to
their certain doom unless they mend their man
ners, or, in the language of the poet, to say:
Ye living men, come view the ground
Where you must shortly he
Unless you stop your foolshness mighty quick

that button, laid pipe full of tobacco
and some matches alongside of his pill

He came to the bower of her love
Twanging his sweet guitar;
He called her in song his snow-white dove
His lily, his fair. bright star,
While sat close by the brown-eyed maid
And helped her enjoy the serenade.
He sang that his love was beyond compare
His voice was sweet as his song;
He said she was pure and gentle and fair,
And told her he wasn't far wrong.
don't know whether he heard me or not,
For his Z string snapped Ike pistol shot.
He told how he loved her, DER and DER,
With passion in every word,
In songs that never knew before,
And sweeter ones ne'er were heard.
But the night dews loosened his guitar

He sang and he played till the moon was
high,
Oh. sweet was the love-born strain:
And the night caught up each tremuious sigh
And echoed each sweet refrain;
But laughed when a beetle few down his
throat.
And choked in a snort his highest note.
She liked il; and did-just $3.50;
was glad TO hear his lay:

When he sang what wanted to say
Till at last leaned from the window, and

II thanked him and asked him to call again,
And then he went away.

Fees Always Cared For.
A young attorney was accosted by
an acquaintance yesterday with the
commonplace salutation:
How do you dO?'
.'As there is nothing to do" was the
nonchalant reply. 1T is immaterial as
to how il is done"
Does the depression in commercial
circles affect the law business gener-
ally for the worse? Isho;Ild suppose it
would give il an impetus"
The business Is not so very bad, ex-
cept among young attorneys. De
preston in business is not the sole
cause of our iii luck. Elder attorneys,
and some OF them having a lucrative
practice in the higher courts. are get
ting in the habit of descending To JUS
tice courts even in matters of small ac-
count. 1t is true that some o. the
older lawyers make practice of turn
ing over petty suits TO younger men,
but they are few"
Are collections from clients becom-

Somewhat; but he is poor lawyer
who can not collect his own fee. There
are certain well-known attorneys recog-
nized in the profession rs model law
yers, able speakers and good counsel,
who bind their clients with a rock

paid them their chattels are accepted
in lieu. A very well-known attorney
