The Farce in the Federal Court.
The Nelcs saws /:

Inc 4NtUS saws.
An illustration of the impossibility Of con-
vlction for election otienses as a rule, is given
in the Cronk case, in which the jury has disa-
greed. The opposing testimony in this case
agreed in this: The briber says he told the
bribee that he would not vote the republican
ticket, and bet him 3 10 that effect The
bribee did vote the republican ticket; told the
briber that he had done so, and was paid the
g.. and yet the jury can not agree that this was
case of election bribery. What a shame :
This SORT OF thing will reap whirlwind. The
public conscience will not be besotted forever
Already it is quiekened as, one by one and score
by score, partisan election law offenders are
1oOSed unseathed by partisan authority. The
passage OF the new election law meant some
thing. IL meant that there is a wide awakening
on this subject. There will be evidences in the
future palmer still that Indiana is determined
TO have pure elections and 10 know why the de-
bauchers thereof are not punished.
II is, Of course, difficult matter to con-
Wet violators of the election laws under
any circumstances. But it certainly can
not be expected that they will ever be
convicted in court which instructs Jury
that if money is paid for vote after the
vote has been cast, instead OF before, il is
not bribe but only an offer to bride
and which has previously instructed a
grand jury that an offer Tor attempt) TO
bride is not an indictable offense, though
the r. s. statutes make il the duty OF U.
s. marshals to arrest persons who make
such an attempt.
Nor can it be expected that any bride
giver, or illegal voter, or election perjurer
will ever be convicted when the prosecut-
ing attorneys make no pretense of an
effort TO secure evidence against him, or
to keep the states witnesses from being
tam pered with, or 10 obtain a respectable
jury, or to take any precautions against
the subsection of the jury to improper in
fueDces.
Men are being acquitted in the federal
court nearly every day of bribery after
they have confessed their guilt TO the jury
1t islargely because no real Efforts made to
convict them. Since the trial of these cases
began, not a single juror has been challenged
by the sO-caiIed prosecuting officers. They
have accepted the jury, composed mainly
of low-grade republican politicians, with
out filing a solitary objection. When
there was vacancy to be filed on the
jury trying the Williams case, deputy U.
S. marshal went out on the street and re-
turned in few moments with notorious
republican ward hummer. whom Mr..
CHANBERs, or his young man, accepted
without a word. People who attended the
fally-sheet trials will remember the care
that was then taken, by the court and
prosecuting officers, about the jury. II

Two Important Decisions.

The supreme court on Saturday decided
that the act creating supreme court COM
mission is unconstitutional. The decision
was written by Judge ELLIOTT. and as it
was,concurred in by the full bench, will be
accepted by the public as a correct inter
probation of the law.
The court refuses to consider the COM
missioners sought to be created by the act
in question in any other light than as
judges, and therefore holds that they
could neither be chosen by the legislature
nor appointed by the supreme court itself.
According to this decision the supreme

In 1888 an ex-confederate named WILL
lam P. CASADY was elected sergeant-at-
arms of the U. S. senate over a Union vet
eran. One of the men who voted for him
was BENJAMIN HARRISON. CANADY still
holds the office and is now the defendant in
a suit begun by Senator JONES of Nevada,
ex-Senators MALONE and WARNER MILLER
and Congressman WEST OF New York,
who charge him with some very crooked
financial operations by which they are
many thousands of dollars the poorer.
Somehow, these ex-confederates who are
reconstructed into the republican party
almost always turn out badly.

LOVES SEASONS

Crocus brave and primrose pale
Star the tear-bespangled vale,
Where the sunbeams shyly peep
Forth, the Shiyering waters creep,
Breaking from their icy chains
To fash and sparkle DER the plains
Love, the laughing, roguish elf,
For new conquestS girds himself;
Rustic beauty, neat and plain,
Lightly tripping down the lane,
Thrilled with fancies vaguely sweet,
When the lambs begin to bleat,
Stolen trvstings at the bars
By the waning of the stars,
Meadow-lark and robin sing,
Love is rapture in the spring.
Moonbeams shining on the porch
Ere the sun begins 70 soorch;
Roses blooming over head.
Lips as wildly sweet and red,
Eyes that mock the stars above,
Ardent signs that breathe of love,
Throbbing hearts and circling arms,

Apples golden russell red,
Natures banquet richly spread,
Yellow corn and pumpkin grand,

Purple grape and SQUASH divine.

Rainbow-tinted falling leaves,
HolIyhoeks and golden rods,

Bridal wreath and marriage ring,

Each a gem OF ardent prayer
For the blissful welded pair,
Hay dreams and flying feet,
Autumn, autumn, love is sweet.
Howling winds and driving SHOWS
Freezing fingers, tingling toes,
Home be hies at the close of day,
Business cares are shelved away,
Curtains drawn and lamps alight,
Fires blazing warm and bright,
Dinner spread with dainty care,
Household fairy's wand is there.
Soon his cherry voice she hears,
Baby from his cradle peers,
A laugh, q kiss, a tender word,
Loveless cynics cry "absurd."

Books and papers ready there;
Pussy purring on the hearth.

Winter, winter, love is best.
So the seasons circle round,
Each with love and beauty crowned;
Fate may sneer aud fortune scrowl-
Want around your door may prowl;
Sorrow shroud your home in gloom,
Grimly leading to the tomb;
But defy them all with this:
Give n smile and take kiss,
Sing the weary world away,

Let us wreathe with laugh and song
AS we gaily march along,
Zach LIES mile-post quickly past,
Natures goal-sweet rest at last,
Numbered with the creme above,
Where eternal reigneth love.

The criticisms on Judge Woods are certainly
just for his partisan efforts to liberate indicted
republicans for violations of the election laws
II is true, no doubt, that some of the indict'
ments were defective, but they could have
been easily remedied. No doubt some inno-
cent men have been charged, but they would
have escaped for want of evidence against
them. If Judge Woods had no other interest
in these cases but to see that the laws were en-
forced he had many ways 10 DO it, but he
would risk his entire reputation 10 protect
men who had violated the laws. His course il
despicable, and forever brands him as an unfair
and partisan court.

OF all the scandalous judicial proceedings we
ever heard or read, the wholesale Jail delivery
OF election violators, by Judge Woods az
indianapolis, is the worst. He has placed him
SELF before the people as the only man of high
honor who ever performed the feat of double
summersault upon the bench. He is the only
man we ever read Of who compels jurors to
convict men without evidence for partisan pur-
poses and then for partisan purposes upon the
other hand turns l25 election criminals loose
upon the public without trial. The way THR

CARPENTER paid men to ''do political

putting money in the stall of a livery

This man goes acquit on the ground that
his money was not used in influencing a
congressional election. 1t is barely pos
sible that his offense does not come within
the scope Of the federal statute, but the
scandal of the thing is that, although it is
proved-indeed it is not disputed-that

wholesale bribery, he has not lost a
particle OF standing in the republican
party on that account. He is still es-
teemed by his fellow partisans respect

If President Harrison had wanted 10 punish
men for violating the election laws, he would
have employed some able and honest lawyer 10
assist in prosecuting the indicted. Cleveland
appointed Sol ClaypoOl to prosecute Coy and
Bernhamer. They were men of his own party,
and he wanted the country 10 know that he
ished. Harrison didn't want republican vIo-
lators OF the election law punished, and there
fore didn't appoint an able prosecutor. Per-
maps the president thinks he makes up in pray
ing what he lacks in honesty.

THE proofs of the insincerity and utter
despicableness of the republican assaults
during the campaign upon the Cleveland
administration are accommodating daily. 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. BAYARD's
foreign policy was assailed with especial
bitterness. Yet this administration is pur-
suing precisely the same policy. The U.
have gone with minute instructions to ad-
here strictly to the position taken by Mr..
BAYARD in his correspondence with BIS
MARCK and on no account to go beyond it.
Mr.. BAYARD's course in this matter was
firm, digniied, patriotic and in every way
wise, and the present administration can
not with safety depart from it.

AT the recent election in New South
Wales the issue was protection or free
trade. New South Wales has always been
q free trade colony, and is one of the most
prosperous communities on the face OF the
earth. IL is evidently going to remain
free trade for some time to come. A cor
respondent of the Sydney Herald sums up
the results of the recent election as fol-
lows:
In round numbers the votes recorded for the
protectiOnist section of the house are 10000,
whilst those for the free trade section are 49,
000 leaving a majority for free trade of 10000
votes. The total number of votes which are
represented by the present house amounts to
in round numbers 10000; of this number the
| free traders have majority of two-tnirds, with
| 5000 TO spare. Protection may be coming, and
majority of the advocates OF tyranny and
monopoly may even be "sneaked into" the
house by some political chicanery such as we
have witnessed in the recent campaign; but so
| far the voice of the people has emphatically
declared that the evil day of its arrival shall be
