THE same Democrats, who are utterly
unscrupulous and desperate about put
ting out the lawfully elected Lieutenant
Governor of Ohio are in an awful state
because they know the Republicans of
the National House propose to reclaim
some of the stolen seats in the Southern
States. The Democratic party is very
old and furious, and the believing of its
representatives is exceedingly amusing
they take themselves so seriously--but
then if the party has aly claims to gran
deur, they do relate to its consistency.
And the Democratic Representatives
have been taught something by the war.
Just thirty years ago the long fight for
the Speakership was in full blast, and
the Democracy threatened forty times a
day to smash the Union. Cincinnati

ADAM FOREPAUGH, it is said, never
smoked nor chewed tobacco nor drank
intoxicating liquors. His success was
due to through application to his bust
ness and to shrewd business methods
He was kind at heart-especially so to
animals in exterior, fond of a
joke, naughty and brusque to his en-
ployes, except to heads of departments,
and he attended to the smallest details
himself. When all went well he used to
go to his bed in his private car every
night at 10 o'clock; at home this was his
invariable hour of retiring. He always
sat at the main entrance of the show,
and his face was more familiar to the
great mass of people, rich and poor, and
in every State, than probably any living
American.

DOES NOT SUIT THEM.

Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
The Customs Administration bill pass
ed by the House a few days ago and
intended to prevent many and glaring
Irregularities and frauds in the admins
tration of the tariff laws, was in no
sense a party measure, since it was
based in large degree upon data furnish
ed by the late Secretary Manning. The
subject of frauds in the collection of
revenues has been discussed time and
again, and the facts gathered by COM
mittees and in other ways amply dem
onstrated the necessity for some legisla-
ton that would be adequate to correct
the abuses complained of. Strangely
enough, the Mckinley bill was passed
by an almost even division of parties,
when it should have met with little or
no opposition.
The reason for this is not involved in
any mystery. The bill does not suit
the free traders. The importers, who
have been waxing fat on the frauds and
undervaluations which have character
lied the administration of the customs
laws for years, succeeded in working up
a sentiment against the bill and COM
mitting number of sympathetic Dem
ocrats to a scheme intended to defeat it.
A great hue and cry has been raised
about the denial of the right of trial by
Jury to certain innocent individuals who
pretend to be apprehensive that the
Government is in deep-laid conspira-
cy to rob and oppress them, while the
truth is their chief source of anxiety
consists in the knowledge that under the
operations of the proposed law their oc-
cupation of swindling would be gone.
The flimsiest pretexts have been set up
by free traders, in and out of Congress,
to Justify their opposition, and it is to
be hoped that the Senate will pass the
bill substantially as tpassed the House.

HOW THEY CARRIED VIRGINIA.

HOW THEY CARRIED VIRGINIA.
New York Mail and Express.
There are great many people at the
North, and perhaps even a good many
Republicans, who entertain the idea that
although there may have been some
frauds upon the ballot in Virginia last
fall, still the Democrats had really the
most votes, and Gen. Malone could not
have been elected even with an honest
ballot and fair count.
We recommend to all persons who
have any doubt that majority of the
voters of Virginia were for the Repub
lican ticket last fall the consideration of
a statement made last week by delega-
tion of leading colored men before the
House Committee on the election of
President and Vice President and Con-
gress. There are no Mysteries in the
statement, nor any defamation. 1t is a
simple, plain recital of facts. Here is a
part of it:
We have State Canvassing Board of
five members, all Democrats. We have,
for 112 counties and cities, 112 Electoral
Boards all Democrats. These 1856 men
are not appointed by the courts or elected
by the people, but named in Demo-
cratic caucus and elected on one ballot
by resolution of the Legislature. They
appoint all the registers and judges of
election, and thus partisan Democratic
caucus controls the election in every
precinct in the State. Acting under ad-
vices from Democratic headquarters,
these Electoral Boards select as registers
and judges of election men who are will
ing to commit the crime of fraud. These
men are given to understand at the out
set that Democratic victory must be
a 'hieved at all hazards.
This is enough, In itself, to show that
so long as the election is completely con-
trolled by a Democratic caucus, a Repub
lican Governor can never be elected in
Virginia. An average counting out of
AL votes in each of the 112 districts
would make difference of $4,000 in the
State.
These election officers have complete
control over the registration lists, and
can strike off what names they please;
they have complete control of the voting,
and can receive what ballots they please;
they have complete control of the ballot
boxes, and can count the votes as they
please. To suppose that having dicta-
torial power they would refrain from
using it in what they consider the ''best
interests" of their State is to give them
credit for sort of honesty that does not
exist in the Democratic party ip any
State, much less in the "Solid South"
The delegation gave further facts
scores of them-showing the methods of
the Democrats in detail. This is enough, |
however, and more than enough, to show
that the State of Virginia does not now
enjoy what is called in the Constitution
"a Republican form of government"

THE GREATER WORLD.

When you forget the beauty of the scene
Where you draw breath and sleep,
Leave city walls for CLEANS of sky that lean
To hills where forests creep.
The heights, the fields, the wide-winged air
Make the embracing day;
Not city streets. That little life of care
Steals our great joys away.
Live with the spaces, wake with bird and cloud
Spread sentient with the elm;
Our home is nature, even to the proud
Arcs of the sunsets realm.
They say the scene God made is glOriOusl
Breathe deep and smile again.
The glow and noble dusks, victorious,
Disperse regrets and pain.
