TIE FAIL URE OF THE ST. JOHN
CHARREQ

It seems that the latest Developments in
the alleged ST. John bribery case reveal the
fact that Clarkson, OF the Des Moines, Is.,
Register, wrote to the National Republican
Committee from Cincinnati during the Ohio
canvass and arranged for $25,000 which was
to be used to "bait'' st. John. Elkins evil
IDENTIFY was posted on tue money part OF the
scheme, because further along we learn that
Legate said he met Mr.. Elkins and asked IL
he was acquainted with his (Legate's) mis-
sion. Elkins replied; YES" but he could
do nothing till the arrival OF the Ohio men.
Legate went back to his friend and told him
he believed the Republicans bad only
wanted to get st. John out of Ohio.
There is no evidence anywhere long the
line that st. John ever received a cent.
Who got it? III the committee paid it over
10 Clsrkson or the laundering Republican
Committee OF Ohio, it was gathered In
transit by somebody Some of the gang
were ION the make in that transaction.
What deal OF rascslity was perpetratsd
in Ohio by the Republican managers during
the October canvass. We have hsd only
glimpses thus far. They reveal
the pension swindles by Dud-
ley's agents. Then this S25, 900 attempt
to have ST. John ont of the State and cor
ruptly crush whatever influence be had
there among the Prohibitionists, and finally
the official gathering into Cincinnati by
accredited United States officers of gangs of
bummers white aud black from Indiana,
Kentucky and Ohio. in the guiss of Deputy
United States Marshals to BULLDOGS and drive
away legitimate voters. These are mere out.
lines of the Republican canvass. We are
persuaded that the "flling in" would reveal
schemes OF the most villainous character.
The Blaine organs nave been trying for more
than two months to fasten case of bribery
upon Mr.. st. John. They have signslly
failed. The ro.tenness and corruption 30
for indicated are not far away from the doors
of the National Republican Committee.

CHANGING

CHANGING THE ELECTION LAW.
Mr. Schley, OF Marion, introduced into
the House on Wednesday a bill proposing
some radical changes in the election laws OF
Indiana. An abstract of its provisions will
be found in to-dsy's Sentinel. The most
radical changes proposed are that the cleo
ton officers shall be qualified voters. The
present law requires one to be freebooter,
thus making distinction in Office holding
made in no other Office. One may be q good
taxpaying citizen, who in the management
OF his business may own thousands of dollars
of property other than real estate, yet he
can not serve as an Inspector or Judge of an
election as the law now stands. 1t, how
ever, allows Township Trustee to serve as
Inspector by virtue Of his Office, and many
trustees are not freehoders. Clerks Of cleo
tons, who have very important duties are
not required to be freeholders under the ex.
listing law. Mr.. schley's bill puts them all
on an equality.
Another important change contemplated
is that of removing the present burdens
placed On the legal voter in the matter OF
challenging and vouching for voters. The
property qualification is abolished aAd the
Election Board given discretion to accept or
reject q vote after questioning the voter an
der oath, and in case he persists in voting
after the board has rejected his vote, he can
then as now swear in his vote, and DE sup
ported by the affidavit of any legal voter of
the precinct. Guards are placed against per-
jury by requiring the clerks to keep special
records Of all such oaths, which record is to
be re turned to the County Clerk, aud to be
regarded es prima facia proof of the facts
therein in case Of prosecution for perjury.
That the lsboring classes may have a bet
ter chance to vote, the polls are to be opened
at o'clock in the morning and kept open
until o'clock in the evening. Provision is
made for counting only an equal number of
ballots to those voted, as shown by the names
on the poll books and for destroying double
and surplus votes found in the ballot box.
There are also provisions for more careful
return of the votes canvsssed and for bet
ter custody. and clauses repeating the present
law relating to recounting ballots.
Whether the bill in question becomes a
law or not, it is to be hoped that the Legis-
iature will investigate the present election
law and mature aud pass q law that will
insure to the people honest elections, honest
counts, and a better security for the safe.
keeping of election returns than is now pos
sible under the existing laws.

The letter which Bishop Keane, the Cath
olic bishop of Richmond, sends to Mr.. Kelley,
commiserating him in his tribulations as a
rejected minister, is unnecessarily heated
and borders closely on the intemperate. It
isgoing too far to say that sights offered Mr..
Kelley by Italy and Austria fall likewise
upon tho whole body OF Catholics of the
United States and even upon Pope Leo him
self Mr.. Kelley spoke his honest convic-
tons about the government of Victor Eman-
uel in his Richmond speech, and as they
were not very complimentary to that monarch
it is but natural that his son should
desire some other person than Mr.. Kelley
as the representative of the United States to
Italy, ii that desideration can be easily Sc
cured. The representation of one country in
the courts OF another is purely question of
international comfy, and one of the un
written laws of courtesy between nations die
tates that tho representative shall be agree
able to the foreign power whittier he is depu.
tized. Mr.. Kelley does not meet such re-
quirements from Italy or Austria, and that is
the gist of all the pother that has been
raised about his rejection. To say that the
Catholics of the United States and the Pope
are slightingly treated in the refusal of
Italy or Austria TO receive him is to utter
nonsense

work. Two of our recent grand juries
have been infected with this heresy, and
while reporting that a new jail was needed,
have declined to recommend its erection at
this time, lowing to the depressed condi-
ton OF trade and financial affairs"
II il be true that new Jail Is needed
this is the very time to build it. When
trade and financial affairs " are de-
pressed, materials and labor are cheapest
and money can be borrowed at the lowest
rates Of interest. The interest on county
bonds issued now to build new jail could
be saved three-fold in a year by an honest
and economical administration of our
public affairs. If the county officers all
earned their salaries and none Of the
magistrates and constables got away will
fees which they did not legally and
equitably earn, the new jail could be pait
for in ten years.
But il it is 10 he built any time in th,
near future, now is the accepted time.
