fraudulent ballots previously stamped with all

so cunningly folded inside regular ballot that
raScally election officer can get them all INTO

fall apart afterward. II relies upon reglstra-
ton of several thousand dead men or persons
who never existed upon pcriured ailidavitS OF
Democratic workers In word, the party
which prates about public opinion relies upon
fraud and crime to defeat the majority OF law

It is as easy by these illegal processes to get
a large majority in any precinct as TO get a
small one. Crime can manufacture IN a single
CITY more than the honest majority Tor pro-

SOME NEW POULTRY ~ CINCINNATI.

SOME NEW POULTRY ~ CINCINNAT
A well-written and carefully edited Cincinnati
papcr says: Chickens, like two-edSed swords,
often come home 10 roost'
This statement is so important, and withal SO
surprising that it seems 10 MS II should stand IN
\ paragraph alone like n beacon light which
rcars itself above a rOckbonnd coast, and with It's
honest bark. warns the hardy pedestrian from
across the gray waste of angry waters of the con-
fagration which RACES below.
ON the whole we believe this statement Of our
able contemporary TO be the most important
scientific fact put forward so far IN the year
1890 We must be pardoncd for assuming that
the ability to come home at night ana go 10
roost is peculiar to Cincinnati two-edgeh Swords
We do not recall any two-cdgcd swords elsewhere
with any of the characteristics Of any kind OF
domestic fowls There were no two-edGcd swords
exhibited at the poultry show recently held In
this city.
We presume that speculation may be legiti-
mately INDUCED in concerning this peculiar breed
Of two-cdgcd swords found in Cincinnati IL
must. we doubt not be an interesting sight TO see
n flock Of two-edged swords returning to their
COOP at the approach of nightfall after a swim in
the pond or run around the garden-for the
writer neglccts to say if the two-edged sword be
vcb-footcd or otherwise That n twO-edGcd
sword should lack buoyancy in the water or that
on land il should be awkward al scratching in
the garden and finding its food, seems probable ;
INT Nature we believe, has surmountcd greater
difficulties There is no evidence nj hand to
nreycut our suuposng the Cincinnati two-edged
sword 10 he possessed of great flying abilities, Ike
the pigeon If this is il must be "A rare and
beautiful sight to see a large flock Of them rise
and wing their way over the city. In this case
the interest would not be unmiNcl with appre-
tension lest one Of them trip as II were, ami fall
TO the ground. perhaps fatally cutting citizen.
We take II for granted that the CINCINNATI t"o-
edged sword wears no scabbard.
But what would doubtless most interest the
ponItrv fanccr as well as the armorcr would nc

seldom disturb a roostfull Of two-cdgcd swords

On New Years Day our correspondent in
Brazil had brief interview with President
Fonseca, which is described in the letter printed
i'm this issue. The President was at that time
in bad health, and was evidently wearied by
the demands made upon him by thrOng of
visitors There was striking contrast between
his Indifferent manner and the confidence eX-
pressed by Mr.. Barboza, the Minister of
Finance few days before, though this in part
was doubtless due to the Presidents physical
weakness Yet General Fonseca seemed sure
that there was no danger Of reactionary move
