GALVESTON has taken the cake in the
way OF election frauds so far in Texas,
this season. When hundred or more

voted for man and only 81 votes are
counted for him, 1t looks as If corrup-
tion and open pollution of the ballot
box was matter of every day occur
renee, especially when no attention is
paid to a protest calling attention to
the fact, and another report saying they
could not go behind the returns Is adopt

safety of the plain people, and it is in
order for the people Of Galveston to fol-
low this matter TO the end and punish

During the present year Lieut. Gorringe,
who brought the obelisk hither, has died
and the obelisk itself has given marked
signs of decay. An att,mpt has been made
to preserve it by coat Of paratfine, but its
success Il doubtful Worse than this Is the
neglect which this great curiosity has re-
ceived. Tourists 60 Thousands Of miles to
visit the wonder of Egyps, and yet when
one of the latter Is brought to our doors all
intere t in it becomes sp,s lilly lost
The same remark applies to the sculp-
lures of Ninsveh which James Lsnox pre-
sented to the Historical society at an ex-
pense Of 50, 600 Who ever goes thithsr to
see themi How little we Americans care
for the wondrou' rslics OF the past! The
expense OF brin ying the obslisk from Egypt
was borne by William Fl. Vanderbilt who
deserves public gratitude for this grant
liberality. The amount was $1,000, and
like many other putlc b,nstactors. hs Is

Swells OF High Degree.


The swell OF to-day, though unworthy OF
commentator or even OF serious thought,
Is an improvement on his predecessor
Nevertheless, it will be great many years
before he can evolve himself into veritable
sw Ill Of high degree. For there are and
have been in the world man who obtain to q
certain degree Of consideration on account
of their @swellness," no matter how vicious
their mode of life may bs. The late Prince
Demidoff OF Russia was a splendid dissolute
swell So was the late prince of Orange,
heir r-apparent to the throne Of Holland, and
known in Paris and every European capital
as "Citron," sobriquet which he won by
his rather piquant mode Of life. The Or
ange princes are swells by reason Of their
ancestry, education, breeding and the posi-
ton which their family has always main
tanned in France. 1t is scarcely necessary
TO mention tn. prince Of Wales as a type Of
modern English swslldom, SO widespread is
the ambition in Ameri an society to belong
to the "Prince's set" Our swells owe their
claim TO the title-at least the most prolni-
nent of them do-to their money
