THE Law RELATING 10 INSPEOlOhS

OF ELEC1ION
Attention has been called in THE TRIBUNE
to the crimes against the ballot-boX which were
perpetrated in Troy at the late election. The
record is a most disgraceful one Gangs Of re-
peaters sent.up from this city went from polling
place to polling place pursuing their infamous
calling. The consequence was that the will OF
the people was deied and that tho night OF
suffrage was turned into hollow mockery. In
one of the wards, for example, only 25 votes
were returned as having been cast for the Re-
publican candidate for Senator, while Z cit
liens of the ward have taken an affidavit which
establishes the fact that they all cast their bal
lots for him.
Most of the foul play in question was made
possible only by the cOnnivance, direct or in
direct, Of Democratic inspectors who evidently
had the police at their back. These inspectors
instead Of guarding the ballot-box, allowed the
repeaters to defile it. They paid no attention
10 the challenge of bogus votes but in brazen
disregard of justice and decency suffered them
to be placed in the boxes. Under the circum-
stances, many of the Republican inspectors Of
election refused to sign the returns. They
were perfectly well aware that the returns were
not what they were assumed 70 be-the result
of an honest count of honest votes-and so they
felt that they were but doing their plain duty
in Withholding their signatures. The law, how
ever, has been appealed to- and Judge Edwards
decides that there is no help for them-they
must sign. This decision is based on the legal
proposition that the functions of an inspector
of election are purely ministerial. "The Troy
Times presents this epitome of the decision
II man appears before the Board and complies
with certain specified FORMS although It IS absolutely
known that he Is illegal voter his ballot must be
received and counted with the legal votes II makes
no difference whatever II repeater, imported from
another city for the purpose of helping override the
wish OF the people, present himself score OF times
at tho polngplace his act OF crime must be honored
Nay, though all the inspectors present and as many
OF the fraudulent pretensons Of the repeater there
no alternative except 10 receive his vote provided he
Is willing 10 take the oath prescribed. Such Is the
law, according 10 Justice Edwards.
Well, If this is the law il is to be respected-
until 1t is repealed That it badly needs re-
pealing, or at least amending and revising las
sunlng that the Judge has properly construed

remarks 1.-The Toy Press" it appears as if
it were framed to encourage fraudp Yes:
and on the sober second glance it looks that
way The repeaters undoubtedly approve of it,
bun il is a menace to the ballot-box. To leave
inspectors of election without discretion, to treat
them as mere machines for the counting OF
votes, is not the way to promote the purity of
elections. A peculiarly outrageous fraud has

Our readers will be pleased to see that the great
Million Stamp Fallacy is back again with us. Last
week it impossible to present it. All through
the week space was reserved for it, but it did not
come The million stamp editor remained at the
Office Saturday night till o'clock, hoping that
it might come in and he could answer it; but he
was disappointed. 1t never before failed for
whole week But bright and early Monday morn
ing three letters-the ones printed above
arrived, and it seems TO be started again on
prosperous career. We can almost, as it were,
hear the rumble of million stamp inquiries COM
ing to us from Maine, California and all along
between.
1t has been asserted that truth crushed to earth
will rise again. Crush truth and the million
stamps fallacy to earth at the time, and when
truth gets its feet again it will discover that
the stamp error is up and half way to the nearest
newspaper Office.
The Tribune believes that it has always done its
share in helping keep the million stamp idea as
much in subsection possible. Many other papers
have labored earnestly and The Tribune asks for
no credit to which it is not entitled. 1t was
about ten years ago, to be exact, in 1880, that
The Tribune first employed regular million stamp
editor. Some papers leave the matter to the
office boy or elevator man, but The Tribune thought
regular man for the position. To-day the million
stamp editor is a mental and physical wreck.
During the ten years he has given his attention to
nothing else, but has worked hard and conscien.
tiously writing long personal letters
10 the victims of the delusion and
racl1ing his brains TO say MOI with new force and
emphasis in The Tribune's columns. Few writers
can erect an exclamation point after No with
greater energy and precision than he This
sharp, inciSve No has carried conviction TO every
one except the stamp correspondents themselves
He has by turns ridiculed, scolded and entreated
the misguided collectors, but all to no purpose.
He bore up bravely till he discovered that some
OF them were writing second time. One man
wanted to know when he thought some one
probably would begin buying old stamps in million
lots, Another accused him Of trying TO bear the
market and get up corner in secondhand stamps
himself and still another had a pleasant little
collection of one million five hundred thousand
post-marks that he wanted to dispose Of for cash.
Then our million stamp editor broke down, ana
to-day he is under the care Of physician
In closing il might not be out Of place to say to
orr correspondents at Yaphank, Danoury ana
Fsscydal, that there is no market for ancient
stomps in lots of any size. If they have good
collection Of knOthocs or bottled sunbeams they
MIGHT perhaps, be able to dispose of them, but
tbev can do nothing with cancelled postage
STAMPS We say this. but not with any foolish
homes. we know that the great million stamps
delusion will so marching on.

a well-known Democratic politician and lawyer.
1t appears that O'Byrne insisted on getting cash
and refused to accept check Why? The
bill passed by the Legislature was unsatis-
factory because the oystermen were still left at
the mercy of the Dock Board. The oystermen
refused to pay over their 81 5000 unless a
positive assurance given that the Dock
Board would supplement the work of the Legis-
lature by giving them the privileges they
sought The payment was made on July o..
The. very next day the Dock Commissioners
granted the privileges in question. Was this
a coincidence? Any number of interesting in
quiries are suggested by this transaction The
public will not be satisfied until they know all
about the destination Of that 81 5000.

Mr.. Stanley has apparently been making
little better progress than was expected when
the last reports from him were received.
dispatch from Captain Wissmann, at Zanz-
bar, says that Stanley arrived at Mpwapwa on
November 10, and Wissmann now looks for his
arrival on the coast, at Bagamoyo, about De-
cember l.. According to the previous calcula-
tons, the explorer would not reach Mpwapwa
until about the end of November, and was not
expected on the coast till near New Years

inland, and the probabilities, based on the last
advices, are that Stanley, Emin and their large
party are now less than 90 miles from zanzl-
