The Democratic cutlery about illegal voting
<aised just before election day in this city
proves to have been as baseless this year as in
Novembers gone by. A few men who offered
their ballots yesterday were arrested, but in
nearly every case they were let go promptly
when taken to court The theological students
got in their votes without trouble, despite the
pains tue District-Attorney took to warn them
not to try. The natural inference to draw
from the Democratic attitude toward these
students is that the Bourbon leaders realize
how unlikely it is that Christian gentleman
will VOTE the Democratic ticket.

Confucius lived 500 years before Christ,

will admit that the European standard
Of morality is equal to their own. Chris

religion in as far as, like Buddhism and
other native cults, It teaches men to do
good, but they can not see that in prac-
tice It has made much impression upon
the nations Of Europe. '-
