ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

A READER, indianapolis: State Treasurer
Lemcke was born IN Hamburg, Germany, in
1882 and came to Posey county when he was
fourteen years old, since which time he has
lived in Indiana
ANTI-CIGARETTIsT, City: The legislature
at its last session, passed a law prohibiting any
person from selling or giving tobacco, cigars OF
cigarettes to any child under sixteen years of
age. The penalty for each otfense is fine OF
not less than 81 nor more than $40. The law
will take effect when the acts of the last session
are published, probably about July l.
OF W., North Vernon, Ind: The amend
ment to Sec 4425, revised statutes, adopted by
the legislature at its recent session, provides
that any person who has taught in one county
for six successive years shall be entitled to two
years license, and be forever afterward exempt
from examination so long as he teaches in the
county where the license was obtained; but il
he fails to teach for one year exemption from
examination ceases.
MARCUS /. MURRAY, Montclair, Ind: The
law authorizing the coinage of the trade dollar
provided that it should weigh 400 grains, nine
tenths fine, and that it should be "a legal ten
der at its nominal value for any amount not
exceeding s. in any one payne 1t was
stripped of the legal tender quality in 1876; In
1878 its coinage was stopped, and in 1886 con-
gress passed law providing for the redemption
of all outstanding trade dollars, in standard
silver dollars.

Will supt. LaFoIIette ExpIain .?

The school-book law has been a law
about five weeks. 1t contained an emer-
gency clause, and, therefore. went into eff
feet upon its passage.
This law requires the state board of edu-
cation to advertise, Immediately upon its
taking effect, for proposals to supply text
books to the children of Indiana.
Supt LAFOLLETTE, who led the fight
against this bill, is president of the state
board of education. He has not yet called
a meeting of the board His attention
was called to the matter last Monday by
Gov. HovEY-so says the latter-but he
has as yet taken no steps in the matter.
The law requires twenty-one days ad-
vertising. 1t permits the board of educa-
ton to give six months, if it desires, for
the tender of proposals.
HSupt. LA TOILETTE had done his duty
the advertising could have been completed
by this time.
Why has he failed to call meeting of
the board, as he should have done as soon
as the new law took effect
An explanation of his conduct seems to
US to be In order.
If the board will meet at once and order
the advertising, and allow, say, thirty
| days-or even sixty-for the filing of
bids, it will be possible to give the people
cheap textbooks at the beginning of the
next school year.
But unless the board proceeds in this
business without further delay, and car
ries out the provisions OF the law with en-
tire good faith, the school-book trust will
have another year in which to plumber
| the parents of Indiana.
Let the law be obeyed in spirit as well
| as in letter

What Ought To Be Done.

Every person indicted for an election
offense should be brought to trial.
Ii the original Indictment against him is
defective, the grand jury which returned
it should be reconvened at once, so that a
new indictment could be returned with
out hearing the witnesses again.
The trial should be something more
than a mere form. To this end the
prosecution should be placed in the hands
of some able lawyer, who would exhaust
every legitimate effort to obtain con-
viction. Mr.. SMILEY n. CHAMBERs is not
fit to conduct any of these prosecutions.
He is VIGOROUSLY and avowedly in SYM
pathy with all the accused. He declares
that newspaper criticism viii have no
effect upon him, and that he does not pro-
pose to take further action upon these
matters. The interests of the government
in these cases cannot safely be left with
him.
When several democrats were indicted
for certain petty election frauds in this
town two years ago, democratic attorney
general, acting under instructions from a
democratic president, directed a demo-
cratic prosecuting attorney to prosecute
the cases vigorously and employed lead
ing democratic attorney to assist in the
prosecutions. The result was that two
democrats were sent to the penitentiary,
and the democratic administration COM
PEELED them to serve out their sentences.
1t is claimed that most of the persons
now under indictment are republicans.
They are charged with false swearing,
illegal voting and bribery. Certainly
these offenses, which affected national,
state and county offices, are as serious
as the alteration of a tally-sheet,
affecting only two comparatively un-
important local offices. Now is there
any reason under heavens why
a republican encouragement, acting
president, should not put these prosecu-
tons into the hands of republican
lawyers, if any can be found, who win
protect the government interests as faith
fully as the democratic attorneys did two
years ago? And is there any good reason
why Judge WooDs should not request
some other judge TO preside over these
trials, in view of the widespread belief
of which he is of course aware-that he
is utterly incapable of trying them impair
italy?
Is there anything improper or unrea-
sonable in any of these suggestions? If
so, what?

Halstead Firing Hot Shot.

The Commercial Gdzette's war on the six
republican senators who voted to reject
MURAr HALsTEAD's nomination promises
to keep matters lively in the republican
camp for some time TO come. Whatever
else may be said of HALsTEAD he is hard
fighter, and the republican senators who
have incurred his everlasting hatred will
probably have reason to wish they had
never been born, before he has done with
them.
The Commercial Gazette thus catalogues
these six republican leaders:
One [PLUMBL a "robberp in earlier life,
by the formal report of a board of army
officers, Endorsed by the unanimous report OF a
republican committee of the house of repre-
sentatives, now a senator of the United States
from Kansas.
Another [INGALLs1 also from the same state
senate of the United States, whose election was
attended by fraud and bribery, according to the
report of six of nine members OF a senate COM
mittee, who, however, said further that the
evidence did not show that this senator per-
sonally participated in it, or had personal
knowledge of it.
Another [FARwELLl, against whom it has
been repeatedly alleged that his seat in the
senate was secured exactly as Mr.. PAYNE's
was, namely, by the purchase of the caucus
which nominated him.

ton Of inquiry was introduced for the purpose

The New ELECTION Law.

The New York EUeaing Post was one of
the original advocates of ballot reform in
the United States. In has been for sew
eral years presenting the argument for the
Australian system very intelligently and
effectively, and has probably done more
to arouse public interest in this question
than any other newspaper in the United
States. The EUening Post is thoroughly
independent in politics. The fact that,
after careful examination of the new law
in this state, this journal gives it unquali-
fed approval, is exceedingly gratifying
to the friends OF that measure, and the
best testimony that could be given, in adj
vance of actual trial, to its merits.
In recent issue the Erening Post de-
voted column and half of its editorial
space to a review of the Indiana law
Among other things, it said:
The enactment of a comprehensive and strin-
gent secret-ballot law for the state of Indiana is
an achievement of national importance. If a
vote of the country had been taken month or
after the last presidential election on the
question of which state in the Union most
in need of such a.law the verdict would have
ana. In no other state has there been such
general debauchery of the suffrage by both par
ties during the past twenty or twenty-five years.
The evil began when Indiana was an October
state and it was necessary to carry it for the
moral effect" upon the election in November.
1t is notorious that it was bought outright for
this purpose in more than one national cam
paign. That DORSEY carried it with SOAP
for GARFIELD in 1880 was confessed by no less
a person than GARFIEID's associate on the
ticket. That DUDLEY's ''floaters in blocks of
FIVE" had great deal to do with the republi-
can success there last November is more than
suspected; indeed 1t was the open use OF money
In that election which so aroused public senti-
ment in the state that the legislature felt COM
PEELED to heed it and pass the new law.
We are indebted to Senator AND4sEw, its au-
thor for an official copy of the law. and find it
in many ways the most complete system Of election
and ballot reform achic has pet been adopted iEl
this country. While similar In many respects
10 the Massachusetts, law, IL is superior TO that
in the thorcughness with which il Is made
applicable to the entire state.
A detailed summary of the provisions
of the new law follows. The EUeninq Posi-
is especially emphatic in its approval OF
the provision for small voting precincts,
which it regards as one of the most valua-
BILE features of the law. The provision
for the destruction of the ballots after
counting, which was borrowed from the
New York election law, is also highly
commended by the Euening Post. "This
requirement, it says, "has been found OF
the greatest value in this state in prevent
ing all efforts to go behind the returns
and bring on a disputed election contest.

IN. Y. World

President HARRISON, in his inaugural
address, asked this pertinent question:
''How shall those who practice election
frauds recover that respect for the sanctity
of the ballot which is the first condition
and obligation of good citizenship"
The persons described by the president
will never either recover respect for the
sanctity of the ballot or experience a
wholesome fear of the law against destroy
ing that sanctity so long as the statute against
bribery and fraud is persistently nt,lIifed By
a federal judge lgitho,a rebuke from the presi-
dent
This is what Judge WooDs has done at
Indianapolis.
In his first charge to the grand jury in
the Dudley case Judge WOODS said that
the law makes any one guilty who coun-
sells bribery" In his second charge, made
after hearing from Washington, Judge
WooDs said that counselling or melting
DIlDGEN 10 AOG lutllCldDiG -AAldb lutA6
must be shown in addition an attempt by
the receiver of the letter, or of some other
instigated by him, to execute the scheme. !"
This reversal of his own ruling saved
DUDLEY from indictment. Was this cal
culated to help that organizer of cOrrup-
ton to recover his respect for the sane
tity of the BALLOT"
Judge WOODS has just quashed indict-
ments against more than hundred re-
publicans arraigned for illegal voting in
Indiana, on the technical ground that it
is essential to allege in the indictment
that the unlawful act was committed
with respect to the election of a member
of congress-" 1t is bad state of affairs
when the law is made shield for rascals
instead of a sword to punish them,
