For $4,000 a year U. s. Senator
can preach a good deal of uncon-
stltutionality" around the country,
but it is not a very educating in
fluence, and not in the interest of the
people. Party success and party
ends are what the political trade
masters are after. AS long as party
maiorities in West Va. were sure,
the election laws were all right. As
soon as they had to resort to fraud
to defeat Mdson's 10 majority for
Congress, and COTS ITO majority
for Governor, then better election
laws were needed. So in the South,
when the federal laws are to be en-
forced, and ballot frauds and politi.
cal assassinations punished, then
"our country" is in arms. 1t is
condition that confronts the law and
the government, not theory.
"John Jones, laborer, colored, came
from Virginia, voted for Golf; vote
thrown out" Count one more for
Fleming and honest elections "The
country is in arms" In your vest
pocket hole!

The State OF Louisiana presents q
strange spectacle. Here in this nine
teenth century, when every civilized
State sees and acknowledges the
evils of the lottery system, one of
these United States is inserting into
its constitution clause to create and
perpetuate lottery. When lotteries
we're run by governments there was
some security for fair dealing. The
odds against winning were, of course,
very great, but the drawings were
honest. What security has any one
for the honest management Of the
drawings at New Orleans Generals
Beauregard and Early may have
been brave soldiers, but it shows a
strange deficiency in moral feeling
to allow themselves to be the figure
heads of a scheme which ruins so
many ignorant persons. The mere
loss of money is great, but worse
than that is the unsettled gambling
spirit which the lottery generates.
The attempt of the lottery company
to gain footing in the Northwest
has failed. Let the government now
do its utmost to paralyze the action
Of the parent establishment. The
postmaster ought to see that the
mails are not used to promote it in
any shape or form.

The people North and South have
lived and prospered under Republi.
can rule, and none of the terrible
evils threatened by defeated politi-
clans have come true. Every public
act assailed as unconstitutional has
been indicated and sustained by
the courts and the will OF the people,
and few to day want to 60 back to
the old slavery rule. So it will be
again. The mass of the people in.
terested in good government and
just laws, want peace, prosperity and
good will, mot political luminosity.
They have lived and can live under
Republican or Democratic rule, but
have no use for warning and self.
seeking political dead beats like are
now bowling themselves hoarse in
Rosserville and Gordonsburg or
Ruffiantown.

Criminal Politics in the North
american Recietc will open the read
er's eyes to the condition of politics
in that city. The very lowest and
most ignorant class of immigrants,
who have no trades, but can raise a
few dollars, go into the saloon bust
ness, and through "the pulls " of
such influence the city is ruled unto
corruption and extravaganza. The
wonder is that the people have stood
the imposition this long. The ele.
ment of immigration that has trades
and seeks homes goes West; the
sediment settles down to the bottom
of Tammany politics and runs and
ruins the city. Corrupt itself it
taints everything it touches, and
courts and jurles fall victims to its
baneful influence, led on by the
captains of corruption.

Ericsson was one of the greatest
engineers of this century. No one
can deny that. He was one of the
greatest supporters of the Union
cause we have had. Without his con.
struction of the Monitor the civil
war might have lasted much longer,
aud cost more lives and more mil
lions of dollars.
1t was graceful act for oui gov
eminent to send his remains back to
his Scandinavian fatherland. 1t is a
pity, they, at the first, selected as
vessel to transport the dead engi-
neer one OF the worst vessels OF our
navy. The Esser is wooden cor.
yette of the old type, by no means
modern fighting vessel. We have no
monitor that can cross the Atlantic,
but we have good, new ships that ex.
cite admiration wherever seen. And
it is gratifying to know that the
Baltimore, as representative of a
science which owes so heavy a debt
to Ericsson, will carry his ashes to
his birthplace. Tbs world would
then see that we pay the dead engi
neer the greatest honor in our power
by developing his ideas and building
on his foundation. 1t is a compli.
ment to Sweden for the Secretary
of the Navy to change his plans.
