irreparable injury and will sooner or later realize that to exchange the Ameri- can system of majority rule for minority rule is not only unlawful and unpa- triotic, but very unsafe for those who promote it. The disfranchisement of a single legal elector by fraud or intimida- tion Is crime too grave to be regarded lightly. The right of every qualified elector to cast one free ballot and to have 1t honestly counted must not be questioned. Every constitutional power should be used to make this right secure and punish frauds upon the ballot
 No bugle horn ever blew a louder blast than General Harrison sounded in these words of his letter of acceptance. And what was the result? While the blast was still ringing in the startled ears of an astonished public another bugle call was heard urging the republican man. agers in Indiana to "hold republican foaters and doubtful voters, and gain enough of the other kind to give Har- rison and Morton 10000 plurality" :" With the necessary assistance provided by Chairman Huston they were to "divide the floaters into blocks of five and put a trusted man, with necessary funds, in charge of these five, and make him responsible that none get away, and that all vote the republican ticket It has been shown, with all but legal dem- onstration, that Indiana was carried for General Harrison by the most unblush- ing fraud and corruption ever practiced in a state that had been fertile ground for years for Dudley, Dorsey, Elkins, Quay and men of their stripe Have we heard any bugle call party that practiced election frauds in Indiana, or the ''irreparable injury" done to ''the American system of mai ority rule?' No, but instead we have had Quay naming a member of the cabi- net, Elkins prominently mentioned as one of the president-elect's counsellors, and Dudley enjoying-outside of Indi- ana-the congratulations of those who have protited from his manipulation of thei'' fioaters." No protest no deprecation, no rebuke of the ''floater" system comes from General Harrison, which after all may be creditable in it's proof that the godly son of his grandfather is not a wholly unconscionable hypocrite. But it is not hopeful for the future of our re- public that the highest official in the land owes his eminence to fraud bribery and buying of ''hoaters."

THERE seems to be no end of this drop a-nickel-in-the-slot business. The latest phase of it is reported from London, and very sensible one it is. A contrivance has been adjusted by which person can drop nickel in the slot and receive a postal card on which he may scribble anything he has forgotten when he was at his office or home and drop it into the nearest box without further trouble The machines are to be introduced into this country. It would be an improvement if when the nickel was dropped into the slot the card would come out already written and addressed. But then we shouldn't ask too much for five cents.

CRI1TCISM OF TIE POLICE.

During the week large number OF criticisms
have been passed upon the Brooklyn police for
their conduct in relation to 81 strike on the At
lantio Avenue Railroad Company's lines. and many
comparisons unfavorable 20 them have been drawn
with the police force OF this city. 1t does not
appear TO that the facts Justify the severe com
ments which hayo been made so freely and fire.
quently. The condemnation passed upon the
police of sister city has seemingly been dictated
by ignorance or prejudice. careful examination
Of tho situation will, we are sure. show that no
real ground exists for the sweeping denuncations
Of which the Brooklyn bluecoats have been the
subjects. and that the police of both cities have
done the9 duty with admirable faithfuneSs cour-
age. presence Of mind and forbcaance
From the first the police Of Brooklyn guaranteed
the company all the protection that IL wanted
whenever 10 should undertake 10 resume its legid-
mate functions But for some reason, during
nearly week the company refused 20 do anything
but wait During all this time the police force
were, OF course placed in disc greeabe posi-
ton. The potfntialities OF disorder were present
In large proportions, but OF actual disorder there
was extremely little. SO long the csowds OF
men In the STREETS were acting in peaeeable man.
ner there was, reason for attacking them There
was no mob in any strict sense of the word. and
while things remained quiet IL was natural for
the strikers and their friends 90 keep on as good
terms with the defenders OF the peace as possible
When at length the company made up its mind to
undertake to run a car, il was found that the
police had no difficulty in protecting it. 1t is not
doubtful. in our opinion. that the case would have
been the same II the car had been sent out on
Saturday o. Monday last instead of Thursday.
Now without saying a word in the way OF
criticiGm Of the New-Yorlx police. whose behavior
has been such during this trying time as to excite
the admiration Of all observers il cannot be denied
that they did not succeed in quelling the bowling
mob In Tenth-ave. on Wednesday and Thursday.
when the Belt Line people were DESTROYS Of sending
at least one car over their tracks IL they had
deemed IL wise 10 concentrate their force In this
one place. undeniahly they would have succeeded
in carrying out the company's plan. but probably
IL will be generally admitted that the abandonment
OF the attempt was the part OF prudence We
emphasize this circumstance for the sake OF saving
that until the newspaper critics of the Bsooklyn
police can point TO one failure Of p simlar kind IL
III becomes them to indulge in aings at the force
under Superintendent Campbell at the expense Of
the force under Superintendent Murray
Criticisms OF the police OF either city at such n
time are out of place unless IL is absolutely cer-
tain that they have failed in their duty The
police Of both cities have done their duty thus far
We believe that they win continue to do SO until
the end of the nrcsent trouble

10 do better or finds himself out of work.

TO do better or finds himself out of work. Is
that Che cause of labor2
The very essence of organization is there
fore TO divide laborers into permanent classes
from which they cannot escape. 1t is to chain
the worker to the unceasing wheel, till like a
galley slave he knows no freedom. For him
ne, star Of hope brghtens the sky. No glow of
ambition stimulates his efforts. Car-driver
once, car-driver always-or nothing, Us the de-
cree of organization. If to-day he tramples
down TO starvation the man who is out OF work
and wants to drive car tomorrow it will be
his turn to be unemployed and to be trampled
into starvation by other unorganized workers
When every man works for himself, every
worker knows that there is always room at the
top, and the faithful and capable man can al
ways rise. But when organization puts up an
iron barrier against any man from below no
matter how capable it is inevitable that Or
ganization will equally put up an iron barrier
above, preventing any rise to higher grades of
labor.
That is industrial slavery. II is not the
cause of labor, and no worker can think that
it is who has intelligence enough to value his
freedom or manhood enough to hope for any
better occupation as the reward Of capable and
worthy effort

SPENDING THE PUBLIC MONEY.

A good story is told Of one of the fathers of
the Republic to illustrate his patriotic attitude
toward the public treasury. He occupied q
position under the Government, and one day
a young friend entered his office and asked
permission to write letter there. " Certain
ly,D said this public servant, but happen TO
be out of letter paper just now; excuse me a
few minutes and I'll go and get some" " Pa
per ?" replied the other, glancing at the desk.
why, here is plenty" That" explained
the official, "I cannot let you use; it belongs
to the United States"
Just now when the Legislature is being
flooded with bills having for their object the
extraction Of more or less money from the COM
mon purse, this pleasing little anecdote has
admonitory value. The old worthy evidently
held that it was his duty TO guard the peoples
property as carefully as he guarded his own.
Our lawmakers need only to be animated by
the same conscientious spirit to dispose proper
y Of the pending appropriations. Judges,
Surogates, stenographers, Excise Commission
ers, policemen, officials in all parts Of the
State arc at Albany this winter, if not in per-
son, by proxy, clamoring to have their salaries
raised. And they find no difficulty in securing
the introduction and the support of measures
which provide for giving them what they ask
Some OF these measures undoubtedly are
meritorious. But the mass Of them, ID is safe
to conclude deserve no consideration what
ever, and would never have been presented
were II not that it is always easy to find legis-
lator who is cOnstituionally generous with
public funds. II is so easy TO give away thou
sands Of dollars by the easy process Of vote.
We are glad to observe a disposition on the
part of the Republican members to give this
class Of bills the cold shoulder. The promoters
Of Jhe bills are doubtless hoping that if the
worst comes to the worst they can gain their
ends by resorting TO log-roling, by making a
combine which shall include a number Of such
measures, and which shall be worked to the
motto, " You tickle me and I'll tickle you"
OF late years the Legislature has made an
excellent record for economy. Without being
Diggardly in its treatment Of great public in
terests or resisting any Of the legitimate de-
mands upon it, 1t has succeeded in keeping
down the tax-rate. II would be lamentable IL
tho present Legislature made another sort OF
a record. But the tax-rate is bound to 90 up
unless the raids upon the treasury are success
fully resisted.

Small wonder, then, that the proposition TO change
