AS the Democrats are not inclined to &C.

the Biddeford municipal court as a final set.
Element OF the status of the aliens who have
received naturalization papers from that
court. and want something else, it is highly
desirable that they should have it. Not
many months will elapse before another
election will be held-an election of niue b
more Importance than that of Monday. and
one which the local authorities of Biddeford
Will have no color of right to supervise. If
before that time the question of the powers
OF the Biddeford municipal court is not
decided by the full bench of Maine the
Democratic bosses Of Biddeford will again
urge men to vote whose right to do SO is
doubtful to say the least, with the result per-
haps of bringing on serious disturbance
OF the peace, and of shutting up some of
the illegal voters for long time in Jail.
1t is for the good of everybody con-
cerned-especially the aliens themselves
that before this election takes place the
question at issue shall be decided by
the full bench of Maine SO as to put the vot-
ing status of these men beyond all possibility

plated by the Constitution, and therefore
the chances are that 1t cannot be got before
the court in that way. Probably the only
way to get it there is through the prosecution
of some one of the aliens who voted on Mon
day. As it necessarily takes considerable
time to get case before the full bench it
would seem that the sooner such prosecu-

Clause one of Section of Article l of the
Constitution of the United States gives Con-
gress the power at any time by law to make
or alter regulations made by the State in re-
gard to the times, places and manner Of hold
ing elections for Senators and Representa-
tlves, except as to place for choosing Sena-
tors. There can be but little doubt that this
provision gives to Congress the power to en-
act bill like Representative McComas'
which provides that States shall not alter
congressional districts oftener than once in
ten years and that at the next election of
Congressman the districts shall be the same
as existed at the last one. Undoubtedly the
gerrymandering scheme of the Ohio Demo-
Gratis has suggested the measure of this kind
at this time, yet. we are inclined to think. It
Will commend itself to the country as bill
having much intrinsic merit. The gerryman-
deriDg OF States for partisan advantage has
become great evil and stop ought to be
put to 1t. Nothing but national law will
do this, and national law on the subject
can never be passed except when all
branches OF the government are in the hands
OF the same party. That is the case now.
and 1t may not be the case again for many
years to come. OF course the Democrats
will protest against the measure because it
will deprive them of a partisan advantage
which they expected to obtain. But the
time Will never be likely to come when such
measure can be passed without temporarily
giving one party or the other an advantage,
SO there is nothing to be gained be delay.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, which
is fighting the adoption of the Australian
system with great vigor appears to be about
as badly informed in regard to it as the
journals in this State that declare that it is
the invention of penal colony. The Ga
zette alleges that 1t has been tried ard found
wanting in Rhode Island, whereas it has not
bsen tried there at all, and that there lis a
general demand for its repeal in Massachu-
setts, whereas the fact is that approval of it
Is almost unanimous. Precisely why the Ca
zette is so bitterly opposed to the system we
do not know. The fact that it may promote
"knifng" can hardly be one of its reasons
for knitting" in the Buckeye State has
reached degree of perfection under the
existing system of voting which can hardly

The colonizlng of Oklahoma with negroes
appears to be pet scheme of Mr. Murat
Halstead's, just as the scheme of removing
them to Africa is monopolized by Senators
Butter and Eustis. The former is preferable
TO the latter, in-as-much as it would not cost
the government so much for removal, but
there is no satisfactory evidence that the
negro himself takes any considerable stock
In either. Indeed the most of them seem in
clined to stay where they are, and until their
inclination changes it is not worth while to
talk about colonizing them anywhere.

One of our esteemed Democratic contem-
poraries expresses. establishment because the
country does not get excited over the out
cry the Democrats are making In the
House anent the Federal election bill. 1t
remarks that the liberties of the country are
in danger, and that If this bill passes the
days Of the republic will be numbered. 1t
can safely be asserted that the reason
the country does not get excited
is not because it is Indifferent to its liberties,
but simply because the country is blessed
with large amount Of common sense, and
estimates this Democratic shrieking at its
true value. The country has heard the
Democracy shrek before 1t has listened to
their predictions of dire disaster to the liber-
ties OF the country If Congress should inter-
fere in national elections, and has lived to
see those predictions absolutely nullified by
the event, and the very Democrats who
made the predictions confess that the law
which was to bring ruin to the liberties of the
country had been productive only of good
Let us remind our Democratic contempt
raries which are now calling for Ian uprising
of the people of some facts of history, and
not very ancient history either. In 1871
there was introduced into the House of Rep
resentatives what is known as the supervi-
sor law. No statement of the provisions of
this law are needed. 1t has become familiar
to the people of large cities, and both the
Democratic and Republican parties have
availed themselves OF it at elections where
fraud or violence was anticipated Some
years after it was passed the Hon. s. S. Cox,
- thara woo n
doubt, formally commended it in report to
Congress.
Now the arguments made against that law
when it was introduced in the House and the
arguments made today against the Lodge
election bill are identical. Said Mr.. Eldridge
of Wisconsin, "Of all the legislation
proposed by this or any other Con
gress, there is none, in my judgment,
more understandable and unjustifiable than
that proposed by this BILL it is absolute
ly atrocious." And then he proceeded to
argue that it was in conflict with the con-
stitution. just, as the Democrats of the pres
ent house contend, is the case with the
Lodge bill Mr.. Eldridge foresaw, just as
the Northern Democrats do now in the pas
sage of the Lodge bill, the end of all local
self government If the supervisor bill be-
came law. Indeed no Democrat that has
spoken this week has been quite SO hysteri-
cal as Mr.. Eldridge was. 1t was his opinion.
solemnly expressed, that the supervisor
bill twill bind the several States hand and
foot, and deliver them over to the Federal
government subjugated and helpless, the
mere tools and slaves of Congress-" This

One million two hundred Thousand dollar

One mnll0n TWO hundred thousand dollars
is the sum which the Lottery Company
agrees to pay to the State OF Louisiana for
the privilege Of continuing its nefarous bus
mess. Where will tie money come from?
1t will come largely from men and women of
small means scattered over the North and
South, and the great majority of them
will never get a cent in return for
their contribution. If the State of
Louisiana should organize raid
on the United States treasury and take
by force from its vaults $1,000, 900. the legal
criminality of its act might be greater than
its authorization of company to swindle
people all over the land for Its benefit, but
the moral criminality would be much less. A
state which is willing to sell itself to lot
terry concern for cash merits the execration
OF the other States of the Union.

Portland may not be such a tremendous
city in point of size, as some others in the
land; but there is one thing about it for
which all citizens should be duly thankful.
We have pure water, and plenty of it, and no
complicated mechanical processes are re-
quired to get it from its source to the con-
sumers. The city of Cincinnati, is much
larger than Portland; but it is at present
undergoing the pleasures of water famine.
