The Carnival Of Frand.

The Republican primaries, with the
cloud of political corruption that ever fol-
lows in their wake are come and gone,
which is an occasion for congratulation

This year the strife was unusually bitter,

wholesale scale. In previous simi-
lar contests Republicans were went to
array themselves on one or the other side of
two factions, the lines of which were
sharply drawn. In Saturdays primaries it
was every man for himself and Old Nick
for the hindmost. Consequently there was
treachery everywhere, and threats the most

are heard from those whose hopes were
blasted. The story of the open use of
money TO accomplish political ends isgiyen

FRAUD was in the biggest kind of clover
through the city and county on Saturday.

THERE is no doubt at all that the people
of this country live too rapidly. Few holidays
and these not generally observed have
brought the inevitable fruit of a people too
nervous to sit down to the calm enjoyment of
life. Early deaths and shattered physiques
are becoming too common. Heed should be
given to the vital statistics of the Society Of
Friends, which shows at the present time
the average life of one of this sect to be about
fifty.nine years, or at least fifteen years
greater than that of the population as a whole.
The industry for which these people have
long been noted keeps almost all Of them out
of the ranks of the very poor, while the sim
pie and moral lives presented by their creed
shield them from other dangers scarcely
less threatening to human health and life.

THE intent Of tho public land law that YVES

THE intent Of the public land law that Yves
passed by Congress on February 25, was to
prevent the unlawful occupancy Of the pub
lie domain. 1t was particularly aimed at the
great cattle companies Of the West who had
been placing barbed wire fences around i'm
mense tracts Of government property. The
penalty for each violation of the law was
$1,000 fine and imprisonment for one year.
This beneficial legislation has remained a
dead letter, and the cattle men, except In a
few instan ees, have refused TO bulge from
their former possessions So aggressive did
these become that four homesteaders, rely
ing on the efficacy of the new law, refused TO
leave land wrongfully occupied by the cattle
growers, and they we're all killed. A pro-
clamation similar to that made to the Okla
homa boomers seems TO be the only way out
of the difficulty.

A Funeral barred Out OF Cemetery ON
Strictly business Principles
Eliza Hulseapple, well-known resident of
Otisville, New York, died a few days ago
and was taken to New Vernon for burial.
When the funeral party reached the ceme-
terry they found the gates locked. The man
who had dug the grave was at the gates and
told the friends of the dead man that Cole
man Day, who had charge of the cemetery,
had refused to give him the keys. A mes
senger was sent TO Day, but he refused to
surrender the keys. The coffin was hoisted
over the high cemetery fence. which the
mourners and others were compelled toclimb
They returned to their wagons the same way
after the remains were buried. Mr. Day, in
explanation of his refusal to unlock the gates,
said that he did so because the burial plot had
never been psid for.
"That was not the cause" said member
of Mr.. Hulseapple's family, " for the lot was
paid for. The reason the superintendent
would not unlock the cemetery gates was
that he was angry because he was not en-
ployed to dig the grave. The reason why he
was not employed was that some years age
we hired him TO dig a grave for deceased
member of the family. When the coffin bad
been lowered he demanded his pay at once
and refused to fill up the grave or permit any

John Henderson, wealthy farmer of the

IT is a wonder that some of the philan-
thropists who are SO jealous OF the civil rights
of the negro do not give their attention TO the
great mortality of the colored race as COM
pared with their white brethren. How this
condition of things might be ameliorated
would be a problem worthy of the solution
of any humanitarian. A recent census of the
District of Columbia shows population of
203, 459-136,279 whites, and 81, 100 negroes.
Every year there are 2, 1877 white children
born and 1851 colored children. The births
to population among the whites is L6l, and
among the colored people 227. Yet the
annual health report individually proves that
the rate of deaths per 1000 white inhabitants
is l9.709, and that among the colored people
it is 30. 29i. In other words the negroes are
dying at the rate of 1885 per cent faster than
their white neighbors The true friend of
the negro is he who can suggest means for
checking this wholesale negro mortality.
