The DEMOCRAT is the only paper
in the State, 1--WE might truly say the
worldly that never dnns one of its
readers. If you owe us we feel conf
IDENTIFY sure that one dug you will come
mp; if you haven't the money you can't
pay, that's all about it. With us it is
all together different I've pay all our
bill, we don't need money, however.
Our paper is free, likewise our type
and ink, and as for rent and labor,
why neither ever calls US up to the
telephone of "give up" We can get
pressmen for nothing, and hoy who
wants to wash the form and sweep out
the Office is always lying around.
This may be attributable to the fact
that this is Christmas week; if so, let
her go, we've got turkey.

having everything on one Aoor-no

too, knows what is best for "the inner

this house to the consideration Of the
travelling public.

In answer to Capt. j. G. Whites
interrog ations in last weeks Demo-
GRAFT we have only to say this: AT
the time the proposed sugar refinery
was talked of for Rapides Parish it
was generally believed and currently
reported that John A. Morris was at
the bottom of the scheme; he was TO
put up the money. Several meetings
were held by our citizens, throughout
the parish, aud no definite action being
taken the enterprise was lost sight of.
And this is the way the great sugar
refinery bubble "busted" We trust
this is plain enough.

One of the sources Of electoral corruption is
the expense list Of candidates. So great be-
came the evil that in England a statute was
eaacted which has measurably put an end to it.
The Law was based on the idea that publicity
will prevent corruption 1t required party
committees as well as candidates for Office to
file statements of all sums expended. These
being sworn to put it in the power of any one
interested. including the officers of the law. to
punish those who use money corruptly at cleo
tons. The New York legislature at its last ses-
sion passed a similar law except that it omitted
the most important feature. a sworn statement
from party committees The candidate merely
files statement of his personal expenses in
the campaign. after turning over to his Doodle
distributor the committee, such sums as he
cares TO spend to secure his election. Still the
result Of the Law in its first year ia interesting
50 far as it has become public. A candidate
for judge of the state supreme court paid STA
S35.5s or within S16442 of the amount of his
first years salary for the sake of getting the
office, while a Brooklyn candidate for Congress
got of with a five-cent car fare. The four
teen-thousand dollar man secured his place.
but the congressional candidate having been
economical with his expenditures far beyond
the average of those who seek the SURFACES of
their fellow citizens in these modern days was
LETT at home as a solemn warming.

The short session of Congress which meets on
Monday is likely to be so absorbed in political
struggles over national issues that District
legislation will not have much show. The pros
pect is that Congress will do little as national
legislature. and still less local legislature.
The most important District legislation is prob
ably that which will be secured in connection
With appropriation bills. The important pro-
ject of extending the city streets into the su-
burbs, curing the irregular plating and laying
down the lines upon which future settlement
can safely be made, is in shape to be consid-
cred and acted upon by Congress, if it finds the
time For the welfare of the city, the sooner
action is taken upon this measure the better
