Marshal a,.zsll's Instructions

The ins .ruci1ls which Mar bal Aizsl.
Of Florida. gave BIS de MY az DeLand, IN
the matter q selecting jurors q serve IN
the Unltet States court q that state, ara
very interesting reading. The marshal told
his deputy 10 se1d TO the clerk q the court
a list Of fif-y or sixty names Of tired aud
true republicans. Doubtless tie marshal
had in view the cases IL which democrats
are charged with ballot-box frauds.
The inference from his i-s,TUc-
tons is that he did not desire
honest and capable men for jurors 50 much
as he wanted republicans. AID WAY did he
want republicans. Dbl Be thinz that demo
crA5s could not be trusted u try dem0cr ats
charged with crime against the ballot-b5x.
or was it his purpose - do all in his power
70 secure the conviction Of the accused
parties, without regard to the question
whether they were guilty or innoceat7 It
certainly looks as II It were his purpose TO
use his power 10 convict the def -ndants.
A day or two ago Senator VOORHEES, IN
trUduced a resolution into the United States
Senate, which was adopted, requiring the
conduct Of the United States district at
torney for Indiana TO be investigated. 1t
was alleged that the district attorney had
shielded Col Dudley, who is notorious on
account OF the blocks of five" letter, from
arrest when he was in indianapolis the
other day. Would it not be advisable for
Senator voorhees, to introduce another
resolution, having for its object the investi-
cation of the Florida marshal! 1t may be
that the marshal did not act without in
structions from Washington when he
directed his deputy to summon only repub-
icans for jurors.
If it is the purpose of this administration
to use the courts for political purposes, the
country ought to know it. When a United
States district attorney shields from arrest
man against whom a grave political
charge is pending, and United States
marshal orders only republicans to be
selected for jurors IN United States court
in which there are pending cases against
democrats for frauds on the ballot-box, it
is not difficult to re ich the conclusion that
the Republican party will not stop at any
thing to accomplish its purposes.
1t is said that when the letter of Marshal
Mizell to his deputy, giving instructions
relative to selecting jurors, was read IN
court the other day both democrats and re
pubiicans showed a great deal of indigna-
ton at its disclosures. And well they
might be indignant, for it was well calculated
to make them think that there is very little
chance for democrats to get justice in the
federal courts in cases in which political
matters are involved. Let Marshal Mizell
be investigated by all means Let us have
the truth with respect to the action of the
Florida, as well as the Indiana, official

T. Is somewhat remarkable tina. the re-

never a.lude 70 these thing; as existing il
the north. Il is notorious fact. however.
that free and pure elections are aim st
unknown in thu northern states. GOV.
Hill. Of New York. il his message 10 the
legislature Of tnat STATE tie otner dav,
while opposing the Australian ballot reform
system, admitted that there was grea. need
Of ballot reform u some kind. Among
other tnilgs, he sail. "OIr laws do not
reach two great evils which attend our
elections Intimidation aci corruption.
These flourish unchecked, bringing a stain
upon our state, rendering OUT elections a
mockery, and threatening even the integrity
and existence Of our political Institutions.
Il is indeed a sad allegation watch is made
and not denied, that in some parts of our
state at the recent presidential election, cor
rupti0n was 50 unrestrained that the scene
al the polls resembled al auction more than
an election, aud that in other places intimi-
dalton was SO prevalent and undisguised,
particularly at some Of our manufacturing
centers, that employees were virtually driven
to the polls. and actually instructed by
their employers as TO what tickets they
should vote"
Gov. Hill spoke Of course only for New
York. tut what is true of that state in the
matter of elections, is true Of the other
northern states. In view OF the fact that
there is not a free and pure ballot in the
north. it would seem as if the republican
newspapers would let the south alone for
awhile and devote their efforts to reform
ing the ballot in their own section.
As general thing the Republican party
has large corruption fund at elections, and
it does not hesitate to use it freely in the
doubtful states. That it intimidates voters
is notorious Gov. Hill says that employees
are instructed how to vote, and are driven
to the polls. He would hardly make a
statement like that in a state paper unless
he were certain of its truth. The picture
he presents IS certainly dark one and one
that is well calculated to excite fears for the
future of the country But, notwithstanding
the great evils which attend elections in the
north, the eminent republican leaders in
Washington are not bothering themselves
about the election there By intimidation
and the free use of money their party man
ages to get more than its share of the votes
there, aud they are therefore chiefly COZ
cerned as to how they can drive the blacks
in the south to the poles with republican
tickets in their hands.
The south will willingly accept any kind
of ballot reform that promises good results,
but she doesn't want the returning boards
which the republicans in congress are pre-
pairing. They are instruments Of corruption,
and the most potent means ever adopted
for keeping party IN power. The history
Of them in Louisiana, when that state was
under republican rule, is sufficient to
satisfy any one that they are intended to
defeat the will of the people.

Judge Kelley's Death.

Hon. William D. Kelley, at the time of
his death was, and for many years had
been, one of the most conspicuous
members of congress. He was IA MEM
Der of the House for twenty
nine years, and, until his health failed
was very conscientious IN the discharge of
his congressional duties. He was not great
man, but useful one. He possessed much
more than ordinary ability, and was re-
garded as one OF the leading protectionists
of the country. He was a very firm believer
in the protective system, and his best
speeches in congress were those in support
of it. He possessed magnificent voice,
and when he addressed the House he
received respectful attention. Owing to
his failing powers he had not taken prom
inent part in the business of the House for
a number of years. He will, however, be
greatly missed in that body.

Tho councl,s Liberal Offer.

The proposition which the city council
has made to the owners of ground lots is
certainly a very liberal one. 1t is certainly
far more liberal than it was generally
thought it would be. Indeed, it might be
questioned whether the council has not made
a greater sacrifice Of the city's interests
than there was any necessity for making in
its anxiety to get the ground lot question
settled
1t is reasonably certain that the courts
will have to decide whether or not the lots
are taxable IL they should decide in the
city's favor, the owners of the lots would
pay the balance due on them, doubtless,
and take their deeds They would not care
to be without their titles when there was no
advantage in being So
If half of the lot owners should accept
the proposition and get 30 per cent. reduc-
ton. the city would be out of pocket good
many thousand dollars without gaining
anything, except that it would get part
of the money due it little sooner than it
would otherwise, but it would get it at a
very considerable sacrifice.
If it were probable that all, or even a
majority, would accept the proposition, the
wisdom of the councils action might be
conceded; but there is no such probability.
There is baund to be a suit on the question
of the right of the city to tax the lots, and
the disposition of the lot owners will be,
doubtless, to wait the issue of it. The ques-
ton is, would it not have paid the city to
wait the issue of its Unless lot owners
are very confident that the lots are not tax
able, they will not be slow in taking ad-
vantage of the councils offer.

Another View of 1t.

In the December number of the Nel0
England and Yale ReUieO, DIR. Leonard
Woolsey Bacon, has an article which con-
tainS some new ideas in connection with
the prohibition question. One of them, ex-
pressed in his words, is this: IAN absolute
necessity in a city like New York, with its
hundreds of thous ands of homeless board
ing-house or lodging-house population, is
something of the nature Of saloons-places
where one can pass an hour or an evening
in comfort and not in solitude. 1t is a dis
grace to our civilization that the sole pro-
vision which it makes for this necessity is a
drinking shop But so it is, and as long as
it is so, the drinking shop will not CO."
1t is probable that the earnest advocates
of prohibition, in their anxiety to do away
with the drinking saloon, have never
thought of the need of those in every city
in the country who have no home comforts,
and no social life except that which they
find in the saloon, for a resort of some kind.
DR.. Bacon says: Doubtless it is small
matter to the malignant philanthropist and
destructive reformer what becomes of
these hundreds of thousands when he has
locked them out of the saloons with his pro-
hibitory law-let them sit on the curb
stones. But it matters very seriously to
them, aud to the rest of u.s.
DR.. Bacon, when he speaks or writes,
always suggests something that affords food
for thought. His idea that the saloon rem
ders aservice that must be provided for in
some other way before the saloon can be
closed is worthy the careful consideration
of prohib tionists

amendment TO the constitution. providing
that if any state shall fail to enact or to
enforce laws against murder and other felo-

step more to the total abolition of state
jurisdiction over crime, and then but a small
stride to the wiping out of state organiza-
ton aud the reduction of states to prov
inces, governed from Washington" But

1t is stated that Senator ingalls, is prepar-
ing a speech upon the race problem, and
that he will deliver it next week. Accord
ing to repor,s he will give the southern
white people particular fits for allowing
such occurrences as the Barnwell lvnching,
but will deny that the colored people are
capable of self-government or are able to
compete with the whites. The fact is that
