were assaulting him. 1t was an &C

The Anniversary of Georgetown College

WASHINGTON, December THE
most elaborate preparations are be-
ing made for the celebration of the
centennial of Georgetown College
Visiting clergy are expected from
all portions of Europe and America,
and on the day of the celebration it
is expected that upwards of 500
Catholic prelates will be present.
The celebration will continue three
days, February goth, 2Ist and 22nd,
and President Cleveland aud Cardi-
nal Gibbons will participate in the
ceremonies incident to the celebra.
ton.
On the auspicious occasion an
nOunced James Fairfax McLaugh-
lin, Esq, viii produce a history of
the College, and Judge William
Merrick will deliver the Centennial
address. These two gentlemen have
been selected as the most distin-
guished graduates of the Institu-
tion, and its representative scholars,

ory it had been placed on that foun-
dation." The Judge thinks that,
while much may be done by bal
lot law to lessen bribery at the
polls, no such law can entirely pre-
vent it. He favors penal legislation
much more stringent than the pres
emit, and provisions for taking the
testimony of the bribed on condi-
ton tnat it shall not be used
against themselves. He does not
refer to the English system of limit
ing the total amount OF money
which may be spent at elections,
system which ii would probably
be difficult to introduce here, but by
no means impossible if all parties
were in favor of it. What We have
to fear is that those who profited in
the recent election in New York by
means of bribery, on both sides, OF
politics, will equip lobby to pre-
vent any charge in the law which
might disable them from commit
ting the same crime in future cleo

Judge Daniels Of the Supreme
Court of New York writes q letter
to the Herald in q commercially
grave tone on the subject nf bribery
in elections The contagion, ac-
cording to Judge Daniels, has gone
beyond the illiterate and vicious
classes and has invaded the other
wise respectable ranks Of society,
and herein lies the danger. 1t is of
the nature Of this malady to grow
bv what it feeds on and there is no
assignable limit to its spread
THE vice." says Judge Daniels, ''or
crime, as it may be more correctly
denominatcd, is one Of appalling
magnitude, having direct tenden
cy to undermine the foundation on
which the national and State Gov
ernments must be maintained, and
if they are to be maintained in the
future, for they can securely stand
only ON the intelligence and politi
cal integrity of the voters them
selves. If that is to be corrupted
by the use of money in the cleo
tons, then ultimately, and at no
very distant period, the wealthy
will, buy the prominent anil impor-
tant offices. Men of moderate
means, and still possessing intelli-
gence. experience, ability and I'M
swerving integrity, must in that
event retire from the political field.
They will be as completely ineligi-
BILE as though declared to be so by
the Constitution, both State and ma

public over to an aristocracy as
surely as it would be if in legal the

there was an overwhelming verdict

The trouble with the Register
is that it does not know whether it

times his fair share. If every man con
tributed in proportion to his abili-
ty. labor might be benefited by a
lavish government, but when Labor
contributes $1,000 and capital ST.,
it is the interest of Labor 10 have
the most economical government
possible.
Labor forgets this fact and hence
the Knights favor the Blair bill.
The Carnegie-class also favor the
Blair bill. The Hawk and the
chickens agree This is wonderful
but true. The Hawk is 'fooling the
chickens.

such a law as this would have
brought many Senators and mem
bers of the House to their feet. Were
it not that railway influence has ex-
Guided from Congress men of brains
willing to fight for the people, COM
mittee would be promptly appointed
to inquire into this defiance of the
law. If the question whether the
interstate commerce law should be
obeyed were submitted to a popular
vote the verdict for its enforcement
would be unanimous.
Be it remembered that Depew did
more than any other one man, ex-
cept Greed Raymond, attorney for
the Pacific Railroad, to defeat Ores
ham and to nominate Harrison.

The Democrats Of West Virginia
should not for moment think OF
allowing their organization to lax.
Keep it up. Improve it. Extend
it. Remember that Eternal vigi-
lance is the price of liberty"
Lack of thorough organization
among Democrats was one of the
causes that made the result in this
State Wheeling Register
We have too much organization
organization beat us. What we need
is less organization and more prin-
ciplc. The Democracy saw Mr..
Brice, a Wall-street railroad mana
ger, Barnum and German, the en-
bodiment of corrupt methods, in
charge of their party, and the De-
mocracy puked. 1t puked when the
same influences nominated Greeley.
Organization has ruled out the
brains and virtue of the party; it
has excluded Wallis, Cowen and
Marshall in Maryland, Mcdonald in
Indiana, John Davis, Raymond and
BrannOn in West Virginia. We are
done with the cant of organization.
We want men of conviction. Put
men Of conviction before the people
and this State viii 90 Democratic
oy 10000 votes.

The County Court Of Kanawha
has decided to certify the election
returns according to the original
count. This elects McGinnis. Hence
West Virginia will have for Con
gressmen: Wilson, Pendleton, Smith
and McGinnis. Golf has a plurali-
ty of 115. The Senate is republican
and the House Democratic by one
vote only. A pretty bad outlook.
The Ring has done its work.
