IF THE attorney-general of New York
is right in his opinion concerning the
election law of that State, the statute
should be amended. He says the voter
may visit the polls as many times day
as there are ballots to deposit; that is
to say, the citiz sns may vote at 8 O'Clock
in the morning for presidential electors,
at 10 for the State ticket, at II for Con-
gresham, at IL for county officers, at
1 for members of the Legislature, IN
til he has gone through the list. Under
such law a very few men could keep
control OF the polls all day. and prevent
the great majority of the people from
voting.

THE REPUBLICANS of Albuquerque,
New Mexico, have nominated man
for superintendent of public schools
who seems to have been selected on
account of his peculiar unftness for the
place. The editor of the Democrat offers
to give 500 to be disposed of on the
following conditions: To be forfeited
to any charitable institution provided
Luciano Ortiz, the nominee referred to,
will appear before an audience in Albu-
querque and address the people for FIVE
minutes in fair English, and will read
one hundred words of any plain Eng
lish paragraph that the audience may
designate, and write sentence of one
hundred words in passably fair English
and the principles of the several
public schools shall be the judges. The
fellows qualifications seem to consist
of the fact that he has been the hired
man of the Republican bosses.

PRIVATE DETECTIVES.
What q Veteran Police Officer Thinks o.
Them and Their Work.

What Veteran Police Officer Thinks of
Them and Their Work.
Speaking of the professional detect
ives, a veteran ex-policeman remarked
to me that "they appear to have be-
come as Indispensable necessity in
the civil service as spies are in the
military service in time of war" And
then he went on to say: There arc
different kinds of detectives. The legit-
innate class are all well enough
mean those officially employed, and
those of the reputable and honorable
detective agencies, whose business it is
TO ferret out crime. These appear to
be necessity. and generally do good
and useful work. But there is another
class of Observation-Disclosures
detectives by certain 'pri-
vate agencies, that are simply villain
Gus. 1t takes smart man to be sue
cessful detective of the reputable
kind, but to be a detective of
the private agencies / refer to
man must have not only Il
certain kind of smartness, but he must
of necessity be Il very mean whelp-a
sneak and hypocrite of the very
worst kind. A downright honest man
can't be n detective of that sort, no
more than a man of veracity can be
successful liar. You see his very bdsi-
ness requires him to be a rascal and a
man of false pretenses. And for the
reason that such a detective must of
necessity be dishonest man, it is
never safe to rely too implicitly upon
his word. He is too anxious to make
out a case against the man he is Sc
cretly logging and watching to quail
ify him for disinterested witness,
and the testimony of mono of
these private detectives should ever
be taken in court, or accepted
anywhere else, unless it can be veri-
fed by that of credible witnesses
who are not detectives. They are
generally the greatest liars out of Jail.
The good name of no reputable person
should ever be placed at the mercy of
these private detectives and there
ought to be law for the protection Uf
private character from their assaults
The old vet then went on to give me
many instances where detectives have
been guilty of grossly slanderous out
RACES upon worthy men and women by
either inventing falsehoods outright.

and they have only to unite TO
free themselves from the gross lnJus-
tice by which their progress is retarded
and their wealth drained from them in

this union that the Republicans indulge
in frenzied appeals to all the hatreds
of twenty-five years ago.
The Democratic party is not under
the necessity of replying. The Repub-
licans are out of power; they have no
issue to present except issues on which
they have been repudiated. and by
continually dwelling or the past they
show that they are incapable of seeing
the needs of the present. If the tariH-

THE LONE STAR STATE.
Why 1t Would lie Perfectly Proper {,
Make Four States of 1t.

Why 1t Would lie Perfectly Proper to
Make -Four States of 1t.
That nice old Republican organ. the
Chicago Tribune, is most distressed and
very angry because it has heard some.
where rumor of plot to cut Texas
up into four States. thus giving the
Democrats six additional members OF
the Senate and six additional electoral
votes.
1t is easy to propose this scheme. but
not so easy to carry it. No sentiment
is so strong among the people of the
Lone Star State rs the sentiment in
favor of Texas unity. They take pride
in keeping Texas intact, as it was con.
quered under Sam Houston and Davy
Crockett, and in preserving the boun.
diaries of the Texas Republic. which
for ten years was recognized as an in
dependent Nation by the powers of the
earth, and which voluntarily gave UP
its National existence to enter the
Union of American States. No, the
Texans do not want Texas divided.
But suppose these sentimental rea-
sons did not exist Honestly, now.
why should not Texas be divided?
Texas has as much territory as Name
New Hampshire, Vermont. Massachu
sets, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania. Del
aware, Maryland, Ohio and Indiana
com bined. with some land to spare.
Her territory could be cut into thirty.
two States each as large as Massachu-
sets. Her population equals the conf
bined population of the nine States OF
Maine. New Hampshire, Vermont.
Rhode Island, Delaware. Florida, Colo
RADIO. Nevada and Ore on. These
States have eighteen votes in the Sem
ate. while Texas has only two. They
have thirty-one electoral votes, while
Texas. with the same population. has
only thirteen. Why should it be unjust
to cut Texas up into four or more
States if her people would consent to
itp
Besides, Texas is growing faster
than almost any other State in the
Union. and has land enough to support
the entire population of the United
States.
We do not see what just ground fo,
complaint the Republicans would have
if this huge domain-an empire in it
self-should be cut up into several
States of the usual s;ze.-Bosto's Globe.

1t is certain that the Republican

power under the domination of its old
sectional bitterness and prejudice. Its
violence and vicieusness will make
clearer than ever the great advantage
the Democratic party has always en-
joyed as a National party-represent-
ing the whole country and not par
ticular section of it. Looking at every
thing from single point of the COM
pass, the Republican party will con-
tinue to attack the Southern States; to
do every thing in its power to ex-
asperate their people and to revive
old animosities. 1t has made its calcu-
lations and adopted this policy DELHI
-erately in the hope Of preventing a
break in the Northwest, where its ma
jorities have grown smaller and
smaller every year. until now, with its
other policy CT obstructing tax rcduc-
ton and reform, it can have = hope
of retaining control in these agricult-
