THE REASON WHY.

There is one amusing feature in all this talk
about The new House. The Democratic papers
protest with most comical air of being greatly
aggrieved that they cannot understand why
Republicans should insist upon assuming when
there are election frauds in the South that they
are on the side of the Democracy. Why"
they ask with most injured air. may they
not be on the side of the Republicans Why
should it be taken for granted that we commit
all the frauds ?"
The answer is easy. 1t is because there is
scarcely an election held in a large number OF
the Southern States that is not controlled by
fraud, except in those cases where the Demo-
Gratis have so thoroughly cowed the Republicans
that cheating is not needed. 1t is because
when Southern Democrats think it necessary
to carry an election they have not heSitated to
whip and shoot Republican voters any more
than they hesitate now to stuff the box with
tissue ballots, or throw out enough districts in
the count to get a majority when all other
measures have failed. When fraud has been
committed in Southern election it is taken
for granted that the Democrats have committed
it because such frauds and other crimes against
the suffrage have been demonstrated by scores
Of investigations. The story may be read IN
thousands of pages of Congressional testimony
But this is not all 1t is taken for granted
that Southern Democrats are ready at all times
and in all places to perpetrate frauds because
many of them have avowed themselves in favor
of any form of bulldozing or cheating that will
maintain white supremacy. They not only de-
fend this policy, but they glory in it.
1t is taken for granted that Southern Demo-
Gratis are always ready to commit election
frauds because there has never been time
since Reconstruction when a large number of
Southern Democrats did not owe their seats
in the House to such frauds because their con-
troll of number of the Southern State gov
ernments is based upon such frauds, because
they have never controlled either House of
Congress except through such frauds, because
Grover Cleveland was made President by such
frauds, and was defeated for reelection only
in spite of such frauds. If you catch pro-
fessional thief with his hand in your till, you
suspect that he is there to steal. That is the
reason why.

canal business will receive the boom for which
it is waiting.
From time to time during the season just
ended boatmen have made complaint which
the incoming Legislature would do well to in
yestigate They allege that they are wrongcd,
and freights are driven from the canals by
what are known as scalpers." One Of their
number, in a letter to "The Utica Herald"
states their grievance in this blunt way:
The large amount of tonnage employed in trans
portng the cereals OF the great West from Chicago to
Ncw-York via the lakes and Erie Canal. known as the
direct water route, has fallen under control of
vicious gang OF vuules at Buffalo. They take the
freight to arrive, and the competition to obtain IL Is
90 strong among them that they often agree on prices
below the actual cost 10 the common carrier to do
liver Il in New-York. Then they speculate upon It.
compellIng the boatmen to take from half cent to
cents per bushel less than they receive Then the
scalpers charge per cent commission on the ptance
allowed. free canal accessioio W any III
dividual who chooses to embark In this Industry, and
iudlcously managed by squarc-deallng shippers
would afford good living TO the carrier and ehaoie
him 10 replace his property when worn OUT ou' W
this system OF piracy toward the boatnen, moro thah
half OF the latter class comparatively bege@fs al
the close of navigation now about ended "hch "ies
would have had fair and remunera'ive seasons
business had they been Justly dealt win Ny 'n0n
agents
This is serious charge, and ought to DO
thoroughly probed.
The boating business even under the most
favorable circumstances-wit d perfect canal
and improved motors providing for rapid tran
sit-in the nature of things could not thrive
if it was preyed upon as, according to many
boat men, it now is. The complaint in ques-
ton is not indeed a new one but the wrong
at which it is directed would appear to have
assumed unusual proportions this year.

years the wonderful growth of the order would
have been impossible if political influences had
not been rigidy excluded. This principle of
non partisanship has Been the secret of the
success of the organization and Of its influence
in National life.
When Disconnected politicians like General
Palmer General Koontz and Congressman Mat
son condemn the Grand Army of the Republic
as a political agency which is manipulated for
partisan ends they make false accusation,
which will be resented by the rank and file of
the order. 1t is not true that the Grand Army
has been prostituted to political purposes I'm
toward incidents there have been like the
Wheeling affair, and denunciations OF the
President from General Fairchild and General
Tuttle, but this great and noble order has
pursued the even tenor of its way. Keeping
always within the lines of -partisanship,
expanding from $4,000 to 100000 an
nually in charity, advocating the rights and
claims of veterans without reference to politi-
cal parties, and promoting the growth among
them of patriotic sentiment and fraternal feel
ing. The Democratic Grand Army Of the Re
public, if it be established, will be from the
outset what the National Grand Army of the
Republic never has BEEN partisan organiza-
ton, league of political clubs.

expenses.

Disappointed politicians are plotting the
downfall Of the National guard Of war vet
Grams. General Palmer and General Koontz,
embittered by partisan defeat, are seeking per-
sonal revenge when they join in an onslaught
Of resentment against that patriotic order. This
may seem a harsh sentence to pass upon their
conduct, but the sequel Of their withdrawal
from the Grand Army of the Republic shows
that it is not unjust. The preparations now
making in Indiana and Illinois for the forma-
ton of new organization recruited from the
ranks Of Democratic veterans vitiate their own
reasons for abandoning the older association.
They have affirmed that they cannot remain in
the Grand Army Of the Republic. since it has
ceased to be non-partisan body; and then to
prove the sincerity of their motives they take
steps for the organization of a new Grand Army
of the Republic which shall be exclusively
Democratic. They may disclaim responsibility
for the formation of Grand Army of the Re-
public of their own political party but the
movement in indianapolis follows so closely
their own action in Withdrawing from the main
order as to stand in the relation of effect and
cause. Their shrill protests against what they
choose to denounce as offensive partisanship
are silenced by their own course in recruiting
Democratic battaions of war veterans.
Nom partisanshp has been the written law
as well as the settled policy of the Grand Army
Of the Republic since its organization. The
ninth article of the rules and regulations ex-
pictly prohibits political action as follows !:
" No officer or comrade Of the Grand Army of
the Republic shall in any manner use the or
ganization for partisan purposes, and no dis
cussion of partisan questions shall be permitted
at any of its meetings, nor shall any nomina-
ton for political Office be made" With an
enrolled membership now exceeding 400, 900
it would be little less than miracle if every
comrade could succeed in exercising rigid self
restraint when he speaks or acts as "a member
OF the organization. But when the tempta-
uons and excitement Of American politics are
borne In mind it is most remarkable that the
non-partisan principles of the order have been
upheld in letter and spirit so vigilantly and
consistently for so long a period. The Posts
have not lent themselves to the promotion of
political schemes and partisan ambitions. In
discreet speeches have been made. albeit very
rarely, by individual members: but the Or
ganization as whole has never been allured
into forbidden fields nor diverted from its
legitimate work. With parties as evenly d.
yided as they have been during the last ten

HIGH LICENsE AND GOOD MORALS.

HIGH LICENSE AND GOOD MORALS.
We take pleasure in printing the following
letter of inquiry:

Ncw-Jcrscy. Nov. 90, 1883.
The writer of the above letter is n clergy
man. 1t ought not to be necessary to argue
to one of his profession that any law which
diminishes the frequency Of temptation to vice
and crime has a direct tendency toward good
morals. We have quoted before the remark
Of the workingman to Cardinal Manning ::
When | am going home from my work may
get past eight saloons, but the ninth fetcheS
me-" There is no vice probably so likely to
be encouraged by the facility with which it
can be gratifed as that Of drinking 1t is not
claimed that High License will eradicate
Iiquor-seling entirely. but statistics prove that
in populous communities, at least, it succeeds
in making a much larger reduction in the num-
Der Of saloons than Prohibition has done any
where But men like the writer of the above
ask for proof that this diminution in the num-
Der of saloons means corresponding diminu
ton in the amount Of drinking and its inevi-
table consequences.
Statistics on this point are not so full and
complete as might be desired, but it is sig
nifcant fact that wherever they have been
obtained they do not show single exception
to the rule that High License does diminish
intemperance, because the adoption Of High
License law has always been followed by a
decrease in arrests for drunkenness and other
crimes growing out of it. The most recent in
stance we can give is furnished in an appeal
Of the Law and Order Society OF Philadelphia,
which states that the commitments to the COun-
ty Prison and the House of Correction during
the five months of this year beginning with
June and ending with October. both included,
show a decrease as compared with the same
months Of last year Of more than three-iifthS.
These figures are worth quoting in detail, for
they constitute irrefutable evidence in favor of
the mora influence of High License. Here are
the commitments to the County Prison:
