Our forms are held open to report
the Executive Com. investigation OF
Secy Lathrop's accounts. Now that
the blow has fallen we can only ex-
press sorrow and regret-for up to
the time of his contact with Hall,
and the political gang, Lathrop was
a straight man. He has been be-
guiled and fooled. The apparent de-
ficit during the Ia days was only
$112-for which he gave note en-
dorsed by r. j. Hail. But this sum
is only a fraction of what will be laid
bare next week, and leaves from 80
to 125 alliances unreported. Every
figure in his report is in our posses
sion, and next week they will be ar
ranged and published complete SO
that every alliance up to 1l6l can
audit their own accounts. You will
see some astounding charges and ex-
penses.
Tuesdays Daily News states that
Lathrop was exonerated by the CON-
mittee-a most audacious lie. The
committee refused to even consider
such matter.
The Campaign Committee is given
to the daily papers-and a precious
lot they are! Next week.

Men and Brethren!

You have through years of de
manding, beseeching, at last secured,
in few of the larger cities, where
corruption is most fragrant, the Aus
tralian ballot system.
Among the most essential features
OF the law is mandatory provision
for putting tellers and officers of con-
ventions under oath, so that in case
of fraud the crime OF perjury will OBJ
tain!
This is essential to the law. It is
essential to secure the will of the peo-
pie.
The Alliance Convention was cap
tured by the plutocrats of the two
great parties working in unison.
They found that a majority of the
delegates remained loyal. They run
in IS delegates whose credentials
were given by committee of them
selves. They over counted from Is
to % votes. They miscalled the roll.
To avoid the danger of the law they
refused to take the Australian ballot
law oath!
Do you want us to uphold crime on
your very thresholds?
The republican party convention
met afterwards-after the GREAT
WEST had been read and quoted by
the daily papers-after the daily pa
pefs had qaouede DR.. F1sh's an
nouncement OF the law, in former
convention. They also declined to
obey they law!
Now, fellow citizens, what are you
going to do about it?
Will you second the total abnega-
tion Of principle and the utter des-
truction OF your safeguards? Will
you? Then why struggle for laws
which parties do not abide nor rich
men obey?

the official that he could step aside,

VERY UN-AMERICAN.

For some time a movement has been
afoot among the merchants of Paris, hav-
ing in view the improvement of the Seine
30 as to make it navigable for large ocean
vessels As far up as that city. By compe-
tent engineers they have demonstrated that
the scheme is feasible, and have subscribed
ample capital for carrying it into execu.
ton. All that they require is the authority
OF the government. The latter. after much
hesitation, has submitted the economic
aspects of the question to the various
chambers of commerce throughout the
republic.
Heretofore, and up to the present time,
Paris has depended on Havre as her port
of entry. The foreign commerce of the
great city has been of enormous value to
Havre and the railroads thence to Paris.
1t is supposed that some. ct least, OF the
other seaports of France will unite with
these influences to oppose this scheme of
the Partisan merchants. But the political
influence of the latter city is so great that
If Paris were united and enthusiastic on the
subject the movement would be successful.
But here comes in the marked difference
between that and any American commun-
ity. There is q broad division between
Parisians on the subject. and doubts are

The owners q property on Front street,
between Piue and Virginia. are protesting
earnestly against the ordinance enacted
last week by the city council, directing the
lowering Of the grade. The proposed cut

twenty feet, and Il viii damage property

above the street. and cut

in danger Of being ovsrwhelmed BY
land-slidss from the rear. On the west
side there h : row Of business buildings
which, should the cut be made - directed,
will be left far abovs grade.
The owners Of this property mads
strong case, and thsir views Of the matter,
presented in IN article published else
where, are commended to the pub
lie. II their protest is not needed.
and. in spite Of it. the work
csrrisd out o. projected, the city VIII I'M
questionsbiy be called upon to pay heavy
damages. Indeed. IL is the law that dam
age or destruction Of property for the pub
lie benefit shall be adjudged and compen-
stated before the property Ii taken; and II
the Front street property holders stand mp
for their rights, they can make the city pay
before IL procseds with the work.
It certainly seems to the Posr-INTELL.-
eExcER that the cutting Of Front street is
unnecessary, or at least ill-timed. 1t will
cost very considerable sum to do the
work, and the pay for it will be chargeable
to the city street fund, fund already
overdrawn upwards of quarter OF .
million Of dollars. Street work done
at this time must be paid for
in warrants which draw ten per
cent. interest, and such is the prejudice
against the taking Of pay msnt in this form
that an advance over ordinary wages Of Is
per cent has to b paid to laborers.
From every point Of view the scheme
seems Objectionable. It will damage prop
srty for which the city will be liable.

pay, the city must issue Understanding

For the sake OF the city's credit this

and since It II found that il il = serious
