OF course. under the ring rule in

as simply venial ofenses Many
gentlemen endear themselves to the

peccadilloes. To Governor Jackson
and the manipulators of Baltimore
politics it must have seemed odd that
seven election clerks and judges should
bo kept in prison for doing precisely
what hundreds of other gentlemen in
politics had done and were ready TO do
ut short notice-yiz.. defraud the
voters of the city. When the ben
eticiaries of these rascalitics were
walking the streets of Baltimore or
planning Democratic campaigns in
high places it must have seemed droll
to some people to force vicarious
sacrifice upon seven poor devils who
happened to get caught.
But what had the political crimes of
other men to do with this question?
The seven judges and clerks who were
caught perpetrating frauds merited
the full punishment of the law. The
fact that one hundred ballot-box
suffers and registry-list forgers of
Baltimore are not now in the peniten-
tiary is disgrace to the city and the
Democratic party. These seven men
are no worse than their comrades

FEEDING THE DEAD.
New York Cinnamon Pay Tribute to Thei
Departed Relatives.

Departed Relatives.
The Chinese fed their dead recently.
The Evergreens Cemetery and Wood
lawn and other burying places were
alive with laundrymen. The wind
interfered greatly with their joss stick
burning. and they set up umbrellas
over the graves to keep off the strong
Southwestern. SO that they could send
off properly their hosts of paper serv-
ants and hundreds of yards of prayers.
On golden-hued paper were the money
prayers, and the black paper prayers
were for cooking utensils.
To prevent the spirits of their de-
parted relatives from constantly COM
ing home to see them, the Chinese have
an understanding with the dying that
| once they leave their mortal coil they
shall 'stay out" ard that all the nee
essaries of life in the other world shall
be faithfully transmitted to them twice
a year, once at the opening of spring
and once at the beginning of winter.
1t has been discovered that the way to
transmit servants, songs, plays. books
and money is to manufacture them in
paper and burn them. But actual
eatables are carried to the graves.

ducks, Chinese and American sweet
meats and fruits went to the cemeteries
yesterday. The food was piled before
each grave, amid burning red carrot
shaped candles and joss sticks. The
Chinese Frustrated themselves before
their dead. begging them to rise up
and enjoy themselves. Chinese wines
were then thrown literally upon each
grave. Many graves received boxes
of fve-cent cigars, while others got
only packages of cigarettes. 1t took
about two hours to get the essence of
the eatables conveyed to the essences
who were awaiting it. and then the
devotees gathered up the accidents"
and carried them home again to feed
their own material bodies. But the
cigars and cigarettes were burned on
the graves. Homemade heather spec

REPUBLICAN, CLUBS.
Tho Most Advantageous Agencies Whic,
the Party Can Employ.

i
| the Party Can Employ.
The rapid increase of Republican
clubs in all parts of the country is 4
fact of decided interest and import
ance. 1t implies organization of the
most desirable and effective kind.
Such clubs are composed mainly. as 4
rule. of the young and aggressive
members of the party-the element
that creates enthusiasm and gives to i
campaign its practical and conquer
ing vigor. The first election of Lin
coin was largely due to organizations
of this description; and the same is
true of other notsble Republican VIC
| tories. There are certain facilities of
success in politics which can only be
reached by enlisting the active inter-
est of voters who are fond of doing
things energetically and willing to
give close attention to details. The
orators are useful in their way. and
the newspapers render good service in
another way; but after all, the best re-
suits are brought about by the clubs
that make it point to appeal directly
to individual voters and to promote
party discipline and confidence. One
such agency in every voting precinct
is the most advantageous thing that a
party can have, rs experience has fully
demonstrated. Nothing else can be
made to answer its purpose, and the
party that tries to dispense with it is
certain to suffer accordingly.
1t is particularly desirable that the
Republican party should provide It
self with as much aid of this kind as
possible in the great contest which is
soon to begin. There are unquestion-
ably enough Republican votes in the
country to- elect the next President;
and the principal task of the CAM
paign is to concentrate them and get
them all cast at the election. That
the sort of work that the clubs do.
and it can not be thoroughly done
without them. Thousands of them
have already been organized under
the most suspicious conditions, but
the number is not yet hundredth
part of what it should be. The young
Republicans of every school district in
the Union ought to be urged and as
sisted to cooperate in the struggle
for honest and progressive govern
ment, by forming such associations.
No elaborate scheme of organization
is necessary. In fact the more SIM
pie it is the better it will serve to ac-
complsh the ends in view. The prin-
cipal thing is to bring the young
voters together in distinct body and
inspire them with, a proper degree of
zeal and ambition. They will easily
find ways to give a good account of
themselves if once fairly started in
the right direction Mr.. Blaine never
declared a more significant truth than
when he said: The giants of myth
ology typifed the strength of young
men. and the strength of the Repub-
lican party is in the young men of
this country, of whom it possesses a
vast majority" But this source of
power is useful only in such proper
ton as it may be organized for in
dustrious and persevering service;
and the methods of the club are to be
preferred above all others in that con
nection.-St. Louis Globe Democrat
