Galveston Takes the Cake.


GALVESTON, April 1O.-The election
frauds alleged to have been perpetrated
in this city last Monday continue to be
the one local topic OF conversation, not
only among the politicie-.s, but
nearly every citizen seems more
or less agitated and interested in the
outcome of the pending contest by
Mayor Sutton and Alderman Cuny.
The Evening Record, commenting on
the feeling existing, says;
NATURALLY the center of all discussion
Is the Eleventh ward fraud, and every
one has his own theory as to how the
fTa1d WAS committed. 1t is said that after
tho polls closed on Monday evening
officers In charge of the Eleventh ward
box cleared the room and kept 1t
cleared until Chief Jordan was notified
OF this peculiar conduct and demanded
that representatives of both Capt. At
kins and Capt. Fulton should be permit
ted TO attend the count. When the
chief entered he found the
count clara progressing v6 The ballots lots
Were o6nnt Tho IN .nd shon %oOaen ooH
cracker box. The ballots were taken
out of this box, called off and dropped
into ballot box. just why The ballots
should have beon put into this box is
not apparent, but 1t was done. A gen
| tlemsn who was present during some OF
the cuuntiug gives IL as his opinion
| that tho fraud was done while the OIL
Gers Of the poll were a supper, and was
simply a substitution If a duplicate bal
lot box, with the contents prepared for
tho occasion. When the officers re-
turned and went 20 counting, they
counted out of this box, aud counted
tha prepared DMlOts instead o
tho ballots cast This, Of course
is only the theory of this gentlemen
and II may not ht correct. That irauC
was committed no reasonable mai
doubts, but how IL was done Is purely
speculation. Tue friends Of Capt. Full
ton arc securing afli1avits from voter,
in the eleventh ward who voted 10
him. The sllidayits already secured b,
MIR. CunY aggregate about 100. Bot
Fulton and Cuny will CONTEST the cleo
ton ON the ground of fraud in thi
ward.

Callender's famous minstrel troupe will
be the attraction at Ford's Opera House for
three nights and Saturday matinee, COM
mencing Thursday evening. The COM
pany is composed Of some Of the most oele-
brated colored artists in this country. Their
performance is chaste, original, fresh and
sparkling and their singing is said to be
very fine. The performers arc all genuine
darkies and have that richness and melody
in voice frequently absent in the burnt
cork persuasion. The Hyer Sisters are at
present connected with the company, and
their reputation alone is enough to draw
crowded house.. They arc gifted with
sweet voices and their singing is OF the
very highest order. "The Double Quartet"
Hurry Little Children" "The Zouave
Drill" Girard and Evans in their great
clog dance, "The Picnic" and the celebrated
comedian, Tom Mcintosh, are all product
i've of much merriment and fairly con-
vulse the audience at times. They will
make grand street parade on Thursday,
the band all being dressed IN zouave uni
form. The band is composed Of twenty
four members and has had tho benefit OF
nearly five years Of daily travelling and
practice. Tho band is under tho leader
ship of Mr.. George Freeman, who led the
band while in England last season and won
such high praise. The list Of music which
they play is of most varied character
and ranges from the popular melody of the
day to the most rigidly classical compost

Secretary holds, TO no tho most effective
medium through which such increase eau
be fostered. As regards Europe, the secre-
tary says that the character of the products
ofthis country which European countries
consume and their many manufactures
would not mako reciprocity treaties with
any Of those nations at all profitable for the
United States. In fact, such treaties are
only profitable with "infcrior nations"
The Secretary says that "the sole aim Of
reciprocity treaties is tho removal of trade
inequalities by special stipulatlons, 50 that
for concessions given we may receive
equivalents, and in devlsing such oquiva-
Tents, other considerations than customs
revenue become factors in tho problem.
Reciprocity accompllshes this by guarding
the carrying interests, and by protecting
the consumer from enhanced prices for un-
der treaty stipulations tho imposition of
burdensonie duties on ships and export
duties on the merchandise VIC favor can be
forbidden"
In the absence OF reciprocity treaties with
Tho inferior nations" the Secretary gives
statistics which tend to show that our trade
with them is nearly Ave 10 ono against US.
The working of the reciprocity treaty with
Hawaii is cited. When we had no such
treaty with those islands Hawaiiaus con-
sumod annually only S1eG6 per capita of
our products and manufactures. Under the
treaty that consumption is about $50 per
capita. A well-devised system of reciprocity
with the South American countries, tho
Spanish, British aud West Indies, Hayti
and San Domingo would produce results at
least ono-tenth as favorable as the result of
the Hawaiian treaty. The surrender of
duties on our part would not equal that of
the countries referred to.
The Secretary strongly recommends upon
Congress the Inauguration of system Of
reciprocity treaties, and says:
The resources OF the counties with which
such treaties may be concluded ore practically
without limit, and their governments and
people are fully alive TO this fact.
1t follows that the superior nation which
greater portion OF the import trade OF each
and all.
As before stated, the United States can con.
eume, with profit to Its industries, almost the
entire product for export OF these countries,
the principal product being necessary to our
Industries, and secure for Itself large por'
tion OF The imports theroin referred to.
To attain euch contamination some reve
nue. Will have to be surrendered, and, per.
haps, some home trade displaced; but for
every dollar or revenue surrendered, and fol
every dollars worth OF home trade displaced,
We Will receive equivalent In our enlarged OK
