BILE in our system of government is lost.
The qualifications of an elector must be
sought in the law, not in the opinions, pref
udices or fears of any class, however pow
erful. The path of the elector to the bal
lot. box must be free from the ambush of
fear and the enticements of fraud, the
count SO true and open that none shall gain
say it. Such law should be absolutely
non partisan aud impartial. 1t should give
the advantage to honesty and the control
to the majorities. Surely there is nothing
sectional about this creed, and if it shall
happen that the penalties of laws intended
to enforce these rights fall here and not
there, it is not because the law is sectional,
but because happily crime is local and not
universal, nor should it be forgotten that
every law, whether relating to elections or
TO any other subject, whether enacted by
the State or by the nation, has force behind
it. The courts, the marshal or constable.
the posse conitatus, the prison, are all and
always behind the law. One cannot be
justly charged with unfriendliness to any
section or class who seeks only to restrain
violation of law and of personal right. No
community will find lawleesness profitable.
No community can afford to have it known
that the officers who are charged with the
preservation of the public peace and the re-
straint of the criminal classes are them
selves the product of fraud or violence, the
magistrate is then without respect and the
law without sanction.
The floods of la wlessness cannot be leveed
and made to run in one channel. The kill
ing of United States marshal, carrying q
writ of arrest for an election offence, is full
of prompting and suggestion to men who
are pursued BY a city marshal for crime
against life or property. But it is said that
this legislation will revive animositiss, and
some have even suggested that when the
peaceful methods of fraud are made impos
sibIe they may be supplanted by intimida-
tion and violence. If the proposed law
gives to any qualified elector by hairs
weight mere than his equal Influence or de-
tracts by SO mnch from any other qualified
elector it is fatally impeached. But if the
isw is equal and the apimosities it is to
syoke grow out of the fact thatso eiec-
