VOTING CONNECTS.
HOW THE FRANCHISE IS ABUSED IN
THE EIGHTEENTH DISTRICT.
The Inmates of the Work house and
Poor-house Allowed to Vote-Electi
Judges Who Don't Know the Meaning
OF the Word Legal Residence.

A custom has been in vogue in the
Eighteenth civil district for several years
past to allow prisoners confined in the
work'house to vote at all elections for
State and county officers The inmates OF
the poor-house enjoy a similar privilege.
The law bearing upon the case is not suili-
GENTLY clear TO satisfy the intelligence OF
the average election judge, and an enact
ment by the Legislature seems necessary
to make the law so plain tina. even an
election Judge can understand it. The
practice of allowing work.house convicts
10 vote is dangerous, not TO say disgrace
full, and put it in the power of one man to
exercise the voting privilege OF fifty or
sixty men at his pleasure. The same is
true Of the inmates OF the poor-house.
They are necessarily subject to the con-
troll and dominion OF the executives OF
these respective institutions, and will in
evitably vote MS he directs them or rs he
desires them to vote This is too plain
for argument, and the evil should be
remedied by judicial Interpretation or
legislative enactment.
all voters in this State shall be required in
the civil district or ward in which they re
side, except judges, jurors, litigants and
witnesses attending court, sheriils and
election officers, and candidates for office.
| Ii is contended by those who favor the
voting of work-house conyicts that they
reside at the work-house, and hence may
vote in that ward. There are two answers
| to that. The work-housc authorities are
not required TO permit the men in Their
custody TO go TO the polls or leave Their
usual work for any purpose. The Other
reason is that compulsory confinement
anywhere by legal process is In no sense q
legal residence, and IL is only by the widest
latitude Of construction that even an cleo
ton nudge would declare 1t so. The point
has been raised that man may be in the
work-bouse for petty misdemeanor b,
reason OF his being unable 10 pay u fine
and that in such a case IL would be hard
ship to deprive him OF the franchise. Per
haps so, but men who are guilty Of misde
meanors must pay the penalty, even e
the deprivation OF the privileges TO vote n
another man directs.
In the case Of pauper5 the law needi
amendment. There is no express proyis
ion barring them from voting, but Their
ought to be. The franchise is not safe II
the hands OF men whose bread and mea
and general comfort depends upon tb
favor OF the man who happens TO be II
control Of the poor-house.

Pauperism Among Observation-Disclosures
Assumes Alarming Proportions.
ST. JOINS, N. F., July l9-People ar
irving here from the interior and northern
part OF the island report that the direst
restitution is prevalent at the small ham,
lets which depend upon fishing as liv-
ing. A Rose Blanche correspondent says
that pauperism has assumed the most
alarming proportions. Sad tales OF desti-
tuition and poverty come from Grguet
I. +. Thompson, who arrived here from
the latter place yesterday, says that more
than third OF the people are in starry
ing condition. Thirteen or fourteen fam
lilies are living entirely on mussels. There
are no fewer than lao families without any
means OF subsistence, ana the fights
among these for such food as they can pick
along shore are like those among ravenous
beasts. The same condition OF things ex-
lists at Quirpon and the neighborhood.
The government has been pettioned to
grant relief to the poverty-stricken ma
tives.

Prospects OF an Early Climax With the
Mississippi Valley Farmer.
Nothing has been heard from the Misis-
ippi Valley Farmer for several days.
Victims have either become rcconcilcd

Inquiry at the postoiRcc developed the
fact that little or no money is being re-
ceived by the concern through the medium
Of postoilice orders or registered letters.
The employees are not wearing crepe be-
cause Of the lct-up. While Bnrrell was
getting in his work, things were lively,
and II meant toll by candle-light for the
clerks.
The inquiry also developed two other
facts Until short time ago. all receipts
for money orders and registered letters

Demorest's Weekly: "You should
have seen me during the war, " says Miss
Spencer. Il looked too awful for any
thing"
Il did see you,' rejoined Mrs. Car
roll. You remember when you were
in the village to which you had flown
from the bombarded city. You had on
a curtain-calico bed spread, gorgeously
lowered made into dress, which you
called POmpadour costume. And | re-
member, too, that the dusky maiden of
twelve, who handed me a glass of water,
was attired in tick dress of exquisite
design, simple, yet elegant. OF this,
too, | thought you seemed quite proud. "
Il was proud to think how cleverly
adapted myself to my circumstar ces.
That girl was in tatters. All the calico
that had run the blockade was bought
up, so | bethought me of a wool mattress
that / owned, and ripped it upand sold
the wool to be woven and made into
clothing for the soldiers, had the tick
washed and | made it into two dresses
and two aprons for Flora.
'Do you remembers Mrs. Ashford's s
bonnet and how we all screamed d at her
as she entered the room: Where on
earth did you get that new bonnet! Did
it run the blockade?' No, indeed, she
exclaimed proudly. This is the same
old bonnet that filed me with despair
whenever / looked at tit did seem
such hopeless case. | procured some
black varnish and gave the straw two
coats OF it. | dyed the faded old ribbon
with pokeberry juice, and | made Il
cluster of buds out of pink tissue paper
and covered them with "A puff of black
lace. and you see the result OF my in
genuty.'
Il gave my flannel skirts to be util-
lied for soldier who was dying in the
, hospital of consumption, continued
Miss Spencer, "and, rs a substitute,
made a skirt OF heavy three-ply carpet.
1t was as heavy as lead, Of course, but
it was the best that could be done. un-
der the circumstances. | made one also
for Flora, and the dusky maiden, as you
call her, was very indignant at being
compelled to wear a carpet skirt, and
informed me that had dressed her in
the mattress and the carpet, and Il
don't know what's coming next she
added tearfully."
