Since the Republican party got into
power, something like year ago, ii has
continually been seeking the aid Of the
General Assembly, getting certain meas
ures passed that will practically disfran-
chise portion OF the voters and thus
strengthen their hold on the town.
The latest departure is the tampering
with the law governing the election
OF school officers for Union District and
2. The system i'm use was for the
election to be held in the evening, when
every voter could be present and express
his views and cast his ballot as he wished.
Now the polls open at o'clock in the
morning, after the working man has
begun his days labor, and close at
o'clock, before he has had time to get
from his place OF employment to the polls
and vote for the men whom. he prefers.
What is the result OF passing this latest
bill? Ii simply makes it impossible for a
large number Of Democratic voters, who
are worklngmen, to vote, and will GER
tainly turn the school district over to
the other party, the same as all other
offices have been, not by the voice OF the
people, but by the passing Of an unfair
law.
There are many elections in this town
every year-the State, town, fire district
and school district elections.
The polls are kept open until o'clock
in the fire district election, and there are
hundreds more who can vote in the school
district election than in the fire district.
The reason for this is the fire district Is
in their power and they want the school
district, which they cannot secure fairly,
but must have the aid of special laws.
Mr.. Butman tried to amend the bill to
have the polls close at o'clock, or to
open at o'clock, so as to be give working
men chance; but Boss Wilson would not
allow it. The Republicans got control by
unfair and foul means, and are using
every unfair method to carry out their
schemes.

Il. Rogers and L, l.. Ney. II will be one

as all of the many concerts given i'm that
favorite place OF amusement have been Of
n very high order.
4 Lesson.
Perhaps lesson can be drawn by
parents as well as children from the send
ing OF the five lads to the State Reform
School for term OF two years by Judge
Gog yesterday morning. The boys were
to blame, OF course; they knew what theft
means; they knew they were doing wrong
and maybe knew what the penalty would
be. But 10 20 a little farther] back to
the time when the acts in violation of the
law were committed, and it can be readily
seen that il those children were properly
cared for, II their parents exercised the
parental KINDNESS authority which
parents are supposed to have, the boys
would be at home today and not in a
State institution.
II may be good change for the better
for the children, and it may also be the
cause Of spelling them for life. They
may return from the House of Correction,
hardened with the "don't carer idea,
and never amount to anything.
sixteen Onice Seekers.
There were no less than sixteen appli-
cants for positions on the Board of Lii

said this morning that he thought it be-
longed to him. lie expected Roberts and
Schiller to vote against him.
II looked this morning like George Wal
colt, Councilman Roberts's brother, and
either Bowen or Joseph w. Freeman.
