Disnonest Money-Dishonest Elections

states is concerned the country, IN al
lition to dishonest elections which
have dominated in many of the South
err States, was also to have dishonest
money, and it will only be through the
action of the House and the watchful-
Ness OF faithful President, alive to
the true interests of the nation, that
this double calamity did not occur.
The bargain and sale between all hut
three Democratic Senators and seven
silver Republicans Interested, or own
efs OF silver mines, was a shameful
one, a wilful surrender of the high
prerogatives of legislators to base
purposes, a sacrifice of principle, and
attended with the most venal corrup-
tion.
The South wanted dishonest cleo
tions continued and the Western silver
Senators wanted dishonest coin, and
by joining hands the South has got its
pay, but the silver men have not got
theirs yet, and thanks to the steadfast-
ness of the House and the honest con-
stancy of the President to the higher
principles of the Republican party,
they will not get their part Of the
DOODLE
Was there ever more corrupt bar
gain between Senators? The Demo-
cratic party was at stake II the South
would be compelled to hold honest
elections. The time for the election of
a President was coming on, and
neither Cleveland nor any other man
nominated by the Democrats could be
elected without fraud and dishonest
elections in the Southern States If
the Election Force bill, so called,
would become law. South Carolina
might give her 10000; Georgia her So

600; Mississippi her 10000, and Louisi.

and the election Of a Republican Presi-

not be prevented. 1t concerned the
Northern Democratic Senators as much
as the Southern members to have the
bill defeated. Their States could not
elect President, but the Southern
States could, and the Northern dough.
faces sold themselves to be bene
fieiarles of the monstrous fraud. With
the whole Of them il was anything to
beat the bill to enforce honest cleo
tlons.
TO this combination for corrupt
purposes and willing to engage in any
corrupt bargain we are pleased &c

Senators Gray of Delaware, Gibson OF

A Detroit citizen who had just laid down
5000 for q span of carriage horses was
driving out Woodward avenue the other
day when he met q farmer coming in with
a load of apples. Desiring to chat the
stranger q bit, he drew up and inquired:

The farmer halted, got down of his
vehicle, looked the team over, and slowly
replied:

LEST those who read the following pages
should deem this story at all improb-
able, 1t is perhaps necessary to say that
its chief incidents are founded on an &C.
tual occurrence which took place in Ma
pies lduring the last scathing visitation
of the cholera in 1884. We know we'll
enough, by the chronicle OF daily jour
ualism, that the infidelity of wives Is,
NEST unhappily, becoming common-far
too common for the peace and good
repute of society. Not so common is an
outraged husbands vengeance-not
often dares he take the law into his own
hands-for in England, at least, such
boldness on his part would doubtless be
deemed worse crime than that, by
which he, personally, is doomed to suf-
fer. But in Italy things are on differ
ent footing-the verbosity and red tape
of the law, and the hesitating verdict OF
special juries, are not there considered
sufficiently eflicacious to soothe mans
damaged honor and ruined name And
thus-whether right or wrong-it often
happens that strange and awful deeds
are OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Of which
the world in general hears nothing,
and which when brought to light at
last, are received with surprise and in
credulity. Yet the romances planned by
the brain of the novelist or dramatst are
poor in comparison with the romances Of
real life-life wrongly termed common
place, but which, in fact, teens with
tragedies as great and dark and soul
torturing as any devised by Sophocles or
Shakespeare. Nothing is more strange
than truth-nothlng at times more terri
