The old adage, "a poor excuse is better
than none" does not always hold good.
Sometimes poor excuse is much worse than
none, as is the case with the unofficial
explanation of the Hackett circular given
by an ingenious republican. at Tom Carter's
headquarters In New York, 20 a reporter
for the Herald. What Hackett was driving
at, says his apologist. was not to find out
the names of purohasable voters, but some-
thing very different and not at all criminal.
The law Of this state absolutely disfran-
chises a man who makes a bet on an cleo

The apples cheeks. like yours. were red,
Heigho! long ago.
The folks had all crept off to bed,
Heigho the fire did glow;
And by the kitchen stove we sat,
You and l, to smile and chat.
Two seeds we from the apple took,
Heigbol long agol
] still can see your bashful look,
Heighol with cheeks aglow,
And on the stove the seed placed
And slipped my arm around your waist.
The seeds together jumped away,
HeiRhol long agol
And on the spot you named the day,
Heighol how love doth grow?
We dearly loved each other then,
But not as at three score and ten.

Irwins Charges Please Republicans.
The charge OF Irwin, the manager of the
campaign Of the Peoples party, that the
democrats carried the election last Wednes-
day by fraud and intimidation, pleases the
republican papers. The New York Adler
tiser discusses it Just as seriously as Il 1t
believed it. 1t says 1t throws ''lime
light on the big democratic majority" in
Georgia. With that paper Twins state
ment is accepted as of greater value than
any evidence that contradicts It. The Com
Ynercidl Advertiser is willing 20 Islander a
large number of employers and every
railroad management in the state because
Irwin said they notified their employees
that if they voted the Peoples party ticket
they would be discharged No railroads
were excepted; the charge covered ALL And
it was a charge that neither Irwin nor the
Commercial Advertiser can substantiate,
| although the newspaper alleges the pos
session of ''other evidence at hand" to
prove that the election was mot so much a
matter of votes as it was q matter OF intim-
idation and ballot-box stuffing.n Let it
| produce the evidence.
The Commercial advertiser is a recent
convert TO republicanism. For years and
years its present editor studied his profession
under that master Of newspaper arts, Joseph
Pulitzer, first In st. Louis and then in New
York. During all that time he wrote fervid
democratic editorials. One day the master
and the apt pupil had disagreement, and
the pupil bought newspaper of his own
with which to blast the one he had helped
build for his mentor. But why he should
throw mud at the south while fighting his
private enemy, and 60 outside the pale Of
truth TO get the mud, is a mystery, unless
he has become convinced that ap-
peals to reason will not save the decrepit old
white elephant to which he is for the time
toting shuoKs

Are rhey Guilty of treason.

The charge that has been made against
the workmen of the Carnegie mills at
Homestead who refused the wages offered
them and resisted she efforts to operate the
mills with non-union men is a remarkable
one, and lie a new departure IN the fight be-
tween labor unions and employers. The
charge is treason against the state. The
chief justice Of Pennsylvania, who Is pre-
siding in the common pleas court at Pitts
burg, in his charge to the grand jury on
Monday defined treason TO be ''the organ
ization Of q large body of men In a common
purpose to defy the law, resist its officers
and deprive any portion Of their fellow cit
liens OF their rights under the constitution
and the laws" Under this charge it is diff
icult to see how the grand jury can avoid
finding indictments for treason against the
men who have been trying TO prevent the
monSgsrs Of the Carnegie mills from car
rying on their business 10 their own way
The question whether the workmen have
good ground for their dissatisfaction VIII
cut no figure whatever in the case that mas
been presented 20 the grand jury, and II IN
dictments are found it will cut no figure IN
the trials. The only question that VIII De
heard is whether there was an organization
20 defy the law, resist officers aud Deprive
citizens OF their rights
1t will be an easy matter to show there
was such an organization and that it virtu-
ally took possession Of Homestead, UNDER
taking TO say that only union men should
be employed 10 the Carnegie mills at wages
fixed by labor organization.
