THE STRIKE LOST.
Vhe Great Q Strike Finally De-
cIared Off.

CHICAGO, May 1.-Grand Chief Ar
thur, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, arrived in Chicago this
morning and took up his OLD quar-
ters at the Grand Pacific hotel.
His visit is to lay out plan of general
operation for the Investigation before
the interstate commerce commission,
which begins next Saturday. 1t is re-
ported tonight that the great strike on
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail
road has been declared off. The state
ment is made that meeting
of the leaders here to-day it was decided
that the strike was lost, and that the
general grievance committee should be
convened without delay to formally
make such declaration. Before Chief
Arthur left for Cleveland tonight he
was asked about the reports. He de-
clined to talk about them.

THE NEW ELECTION LAW

The municipal election in this city
yesterday was interesting as regards the
opportunity it afforded to observe the
operations of the new election law,
passed by the last legislature. As is
generally known, the law was modelled
after the New York election law, but
there was grave doubt in the minds
OF good many people as to whether it
would work as successfully here as it
had in the East.
1t is due to Senator WHITEMAN, the
patron of the bill in the legislature, to
say that the most Objectionable features
of the law were not embodied in the
original bill presented by him,
but were added in the way
of amendments, and some of them
were proposed by members who
Were opposed to the bill, in the hope
that the amendments would weigh it
down so as to result in its final defeat.
This is certainly the case with the pro-
vision which requires that the polls shall
not be opened until 9 o'clock. Origi-
naly the WHITEMAN bill provided that
the polls should be opened at sunrise
and remain open until sunset. An
amendment was proposed and agreed
to by the patron that the hour for open
ing should be fixed at : o'clock. Sub
Sequently the enemies of the bill. aided
by those who wished to shut out the
working classes from the polls. sue
ceeded in Incorporating into the bill the
provision as it now stands, fixing 8 O'Clock
tha hn1t, for nnnninn ,1n ~,
working classes are the early risers, and
if the law had passed as it was originally
drafted, providing that the polls should
be opened at sunrise, most of them
could have voted before they started
out to their days work.
The provision of the new law provid-
ing that not more than 400 voters shall
be included in one election precinct was
NOT observed in the arrangement of
polling places in this city, from the sim
pie fact that the council had no data as
guide, and everything had to be done
by guess work. The Republican law
requiring a redistricting CT the city and
the creation of number of new wards
complicated the matter so as to make it
utterly impossible to arrange the voting
precincts in conformity with the pro-
visions of the election law. Hereafter
that can all be Strengthened out, as the
new registration furnishes basis upon
which to apportion the voters among
the several election precincts.
, The registration feature of the new
law is the one to present the most Sc
Tious objection in the minds of a great
many people. The iron-clad provision
which makes registration prerequisite
to voting is in antagonism to the spirit
of American institutions. If suffrage is
the God-given right which we Ameri-
cans are taught to believe it is, then
there ought to be no limitation placed
upon its exercise further than to pro-
tect the purity of the ballot box. That
registration is no bar to the practice of
corruption at the polls is amply demon
stratcd by the history of our larger
American cities. In those cities
where the most corrupt election
methods are known to prevail they
have the stricteSt registration laws.

NEW HAMPSHIRE DEMOCRATS
A Harmonious Convention Held
Yesterday.

CONCORD, n. H., May 1.-The Dem
ocratic state convention met to-day and
in point of attendance was the largest
ever held in the state, many del
egates being unable to obtain
seats. J. NJ. Mitchell, of Concord, was
elected president, with the usual lists of
vice presidents and secretaries. Mr..
Mitchell then delivered his address,
which was frequently applauded, his
illusions to President Cleveland calling
out manifestations of hearty applause.
The resolutions as adopted heartily
endorse the administration of Pres
ident Cleveland and earnestly recon-
mend him for denomination. They ap-
prove of the presidents message to con
gress Oh the subject of tariff reform
and the reduction of war taxes. The
convention then proceeded to ballot for
delegates to the national convention,
Col. f. G. Noyes declining to
have his name used as candi-
date. The result of the ballot was:
Whole number of votes SIS, of which
Doniel Connor, of Manchester, received
563; Joseph G. Moore, of Clifford 562;
Alvah W. Sulloway, of Franklin, 572;
and Frank Jones, of Portsmouth, SIS,
and were declared elected. No instruc-
tiOns were giuen the delegates, but they
are all for Cleveland.

His Grandfather Saved Him.

sit is all the fault of my grandfather"
said NJ. Clemenceau yesterday when
there was dead heat between M.
Meline and himself for the speakership
and the post went to the former in vir-
tue of seniority. The gayety with which
the Radical leader thus took his reverse
was probably quite sincere. For the
fact is that NJ. Clemenceau's grand
father ''in not allowing his daughter to
marry until she had been four years ell
gagged" has done the grandson an ex-
cellent turn. The presidency of the
chamber is an honorable post, no doubt,
but hitherto it has Invariably been the
stepping-stone to q fall. Those whom
the French republic intends to use up

Among astute political observers, the
belief that the coming campaign will
mark the final breakup of the Republi-
can party is steadily gaming ground.
All indications point to it. On public
questions, the party occupies simply a
negative position. There is no Repub-
Ecan recognized as party leader of
sufficient force and breadth and fore
sight to grasp the situation and lead his
party back to the public confidence it

TEN is only a complicated piece
of election machinery, which in
many instances operates to deprive the
voter of his constitutional right, and in
no instance affords additional protection
to the purity of the ballot box. After
all, honest and competent election
judges are the only safeguard that can
be placed around the ballot. So long as
we continue the system of voting by
ballot, the voter is compelled to rely
upon the honesty of the judges for as
surance that his vote shall be counted
lust as he cast it.

DoNNELLX's CRYPTOGRAM.
English Newspaper Criticism of
the Work

LONDON, May 1.-Ignatius Donnelly's
cryptogram is extensively criticised.
The Globe admits that the work has a
literary value, inasmuch as 1t groups
together much matter of interest.
Mr.. DOnnolly. it says, is obviously
in earnest, but his Baconian hypothesis
is reductio ad absardum. In the opin-
ion of the Globe, the author de-
serves commisseration. The Stand
ard, which devotes three columns
to the subject, says: "Mr. Don
nelly is not disputant that can
beldismissed with sneer; but his cryp-
tOgram is purely arbitrary and capric-
ious, lacking the uniform character of
a genuine cipher" A letter from
the PurSuivant of Arms dis
proves the statement that Shakes
peare obtained by fraud his coat
of arms. The latter states that papers
in the Herald's college show that the
poets father obtained patent OF arms
in 1896. Other newspapers comment in
a similar strain.

STRAY SUNBEAMS.

The home of Chief Justice FULLER is on
Lake avenue, in Chicago, under the shadow
of the DOUGLAS monument. 1t is an unpre-
tentiouslooking house, built in the Southern
style, roomy, and with large piazza in front.
The FULLER homestead is surrounded by a
beautiful lawn, which is the scene of many
a romp between the father and his children.
The new chief justice cares nothing for the
artificial side of society life. When he gets
out of the courts, and shakes the dust of his
law Office from his feet, he goes directly
home to enjoy the society of his family.
~
There are nine olive plants around the
table of Chief Justice FULLER-eight bloom
ing daughters and one bright six-year-old
boy. And what fun they do have when
papa" gets home in the evening. In the sum-
mer time, about o'clock in the afternoon,
passer-by can see them all sitting on the
broad piazza straining their eyes down the
street awaiting his coming and when they
see him there is a shout, and by the time he
enters the lawn there are nine pairs of little
arms twined around him and a tremendous
struggle among the little ones for the first
kiss.
~
The Chicago Herald estimates Chief JUS
tee FULLERs wealth at S25OOOO His law
practice is probably worth $4,000 year,
but he was never man to save money. He
is generous in good deeds and exceedingly
liberal with his family. Mr. FULLER's house
was the first private residence in Chicago to
be decorated in honor of CLEvELAND's cleo
ton in 1884. The Herald tells the story that
the next day. when the ''doctored'' returns
began to come in and it looked as if BLAINE
were going to be counted in, a Republican
who was passing by Mr.. FULLER's house ad-
vised the young ladies to take in their deco
rative display. NO replied one of them,
spiritedly; 1--WE decorated this house in honor
of the election of Democratic president
and if Mr.. CLEVELAND is defeated we will let
the trimming stay right where it is until we
win if we have to wait until 1900"
