THE TRIUMPH OF RIGHT.

Democracy Has at Last fRegained It's
Own In New York.
Democrats and all lovers of fair play
throughout the country will rejoice at
the intelligence that the New York
court of the appeals has decided the
legislative contests in favor of the
democratic candidates This gives the
democrats control of both houses of the
legislature and practically settles New
York's political status for years to
come. New York is democratic state,
but Ly means of a wicked gerry
mander, and by violating a plain in
junction of the constitution, the re-
publicans have for nearly generation
controlled the legislature and monopov
liked the representation of the statefn
the United States senate. The mag
nificent majority by which theycarried
the state at the recent election, how
ever enabled them to overcome even
the gerrrymander, and the righteous
decision just rendered by the court of
appeals makes their triumph secure.
They now have control OF the execu-
tive, the legislative ard judicial de-
pdrtiucutS VI uhc koFcFulHcut. lHty
will now proceed to take the enumera-
tion OF inhabitants and reapportion the
state in accordance with the constitu.
tional provisions. The majority of the
people of New York again rule after q
long period of virtual disfranchisc-
ment They win not soon permit them
selves, we may be sure, to be again de-
prived of their rights. indianapolis

THE SAME COMPLAINT.
Mr.. Blaine Has Another Attack OF P'
riodical Patriotism.

Mr.. Blaine Has Another Attack OF Pc
riodical Patriotism.
Gen. Alger has talked few lines to
Detroit paper of his visit to Mr..
Blaine. What he said was not particu
larly new or important, but the way
he said it is brimful of suggestions.
Gen. Alger said
'sMr Blaine said nothing to nae that would fur
nish any indication as to whether he will be q
candidate for the presidency eor not. My i'm.
preston is that Mr.. Blaine would be glad TO be
relieved from the responsibility of his being a
candidate, but II the Minneapolis convention
shall demand that he accept the nomination
believeriie is too patriotic TO refuse.
So do we. In fact, we know he In,
and we have large piece of history al
hand to prove it.
The United States has no more
patriotic son than Hon. James Gil.
1espie Blaine when it comes to the
point of throwing down everything
and running for office. He then gets a
Sunol gait on himself and his driver
loses all control over him. Sometimes
his patriotism gets so everlastingly
strong that the public steps in and re-
strains it from going too far Then it
is that he essays to quiet his feelings
by eating dozen or SO terrapin and
calling in a physician who is an expert
in cases demanding the bulletin treat
ment.
We feel certain that Gen. Alger has
given the world a bright and priceless
gem of truth, and we sincerely hope
that his visits to Washington may be
many from now until convention week.

REPEATED WRONGS.
The History Of RepubiIcanisfh Fsecors
OF CORRUPTION.

o. Conception.
The history OF the republican party
since 1874 is PROBABLY the most solemn
warning ever given to the world
against the policy Of trying to keep
power by employing cheats to cheat
The party was never so strong as when
it elected Grant in 1868. and reelected
him in 1872. but it lost control of con-
gress in 1874. simply because. strong as
were still the memories OF the war,
voters saw, or thought they saw, that
the administration was surrounded
and controlled by cheats 1t suffered
a still deadlier blow in 1875. when Mr..
Chandler telegraphed to the Louisiana
returning board to prepare to cheat,
and it never recovered at all from the
cheat by which Mr.. Hayes obtained
the presidency. On the day he was
inaugurated. in spite Of the convenient:
disguise afforded by the electoral COM
mission, the whole country felt that
something was gone from the party
which could never come back, and that
thing was character. The popular
belief in it's sincerity and sim
plicity and high aims and unselfish
purposes which had during the pre-
vious sixteen years clothed it with
almost arbitrary power died on
that day. 1t was able to elect Garfield
in 1880, by becoming tariff party and
promising to make plenty of money for
/ every body who voted. for it; but it was
never again able TO promise to make
Americans proud of their country by
standing for purity and justice In 1884
1t lost the presidency for the first time
by going one step further and nominat-
ing man who, rightly or wrongly,
was suspected not only of having the
support of cheats. but Of being cheat
himself 1t got back the presidency in
1888, almost every body now admits, by
venality on an enormous scale. under
only of buying votes but of robbing the
treasury of his own state, and it used
its slender majority in congress to ac-
complish so much cheating and bully.
ing that in 1890 it was almost swept
out of the house by torrent of popular
Indignation.
is it possible to mistake the meaning
of all this? Is there in all history q
palmer political lesson2 Does it not
show, as many another historical les
Son has shown, that ill-gotten power
cannot be permanent? 1t may be ac-
quired by theft, or fraud, or murder,
but 1t can only be kept by honest arts.
The Something not ourselves which
makes for Righteousness" is in politics,
as in business, always on the track OF
the villain, and sees to it that peace
shall not come to him. For even dis
honest communities expect their rulers
TO be honest, Just as even dishonest
jurors are ready to punish theft and
fraud.-N. Y. Post.

TO be had upon 1t in congress The
Michigan plan comes nearer the
need Of the situation, but is not
insisted upon as the perfect method.
1t finds some suggestion IN the
scheme adopted by the republican
national convention In 1850, after =
long and fierce contest, for the election
Of delegates to the nominating conven
ton II has been followed since as the
settled policy Of the party. If the
principle is go d in the one case, why
not in the other? Bnt the Michigan
democrats have done the country good
service in raising the question in a
way to elicit general attention,
and lead to the auopt,9u of
some method more equitable than
the present There Is very little in the
charge that the democrats in Michigan
have taken an warranted advantage
Of the republicans They had fair
prospect of again carrying the state and
securing the entire electoral yote.They
simply made an equal division, as they
believed Some who, deponnce their
action are not aware that the district
system has ever been in use a repub-
lican congressman from Nj shigan even
went so far as to pronounce it uncon-
stitutional in spirit. As late as 1924 it
was in use in Maine, Massachusetts,,
Kentucky and Tennessee. In 1898
New York chose one eL.ctor in each
district, and these chose two at large.
The same year Maryland and Ten
nessee chose all OF their electors. in
this way. 1t was probably aban-
doned to secure uniformity. Yet
it is palpably a more equitable and
unobjectionable method than that now
in use. Could there be non-partisan
and fair appointments, 1t would
leave little to- be desired. 1T would
free the elections in the large contest
ed states mainly from the temptation
to use the Dudley blocks of five"
methods, or concentrate Doodle argu
ments, as only one district could be af
fected by any effort. The subject may
become prominent in congress this SEES
sion.-St Paul Globe.

REPUBLICAN, CHICANERY.
Tricks Resorted to by the Minority Party
In Iowa.

Tricks ResOrted to by the Minority Party
in iowa.
The subordinate officers of legisla-
tive body are of no great Importance in
a national point of view, so that the
late doings of the Iowa senate were
not over subject of very absorbing
interest away from home. As an illus
tration of republican greed and repub-
lican methods they are worthy of no.
tice.
In Iowa the bad system prevails of
canyassing the returns for state officers
in the legislature. The houses have
usually formed a temporary organiza-
ton for that purpose, and after can
wasting the vote proceeded to organize
permanently. But this year the out
going lieutenant governor was o re-
publican and the incoming democrat.
The democrats had twenty-five SEN
ators or half of the senate, the repub-
licans twcnty-four, and the fiftieth
man was Engle, elected by combina-
ton of the union labor party and the
democrats So the republicans, hav-
ing entered into negotiations with En-
gle. decided to effect the permanent or
ganization at once before the demo-
cratic lieutenant governor came to the
chair. The democrats refrained from
voting, so that there were only twenty
five votes cast, less than quorum.
The republicans wished Lieut.. Gov.
Poyner to count quorum, but he re-
fused and was applauded for so doing.
The republicans then dropped Engle,
and made their own nominations.
Lieut.. Gov Poyners virtue failed to
, hold out. Like Judge Wood, of Indi-
ana, he decided to reverse his own ruiz
ing, and proceeded to count a quorum.
In this way the republicans secured all
the officers Of the senate except the as
sistant secretary, who was chosen by
the democrats with the aid of one re-
publican who had been cold toward the
conspiracy from the start.
=, This was not very dignitied or inn
posing contest, but it furnished a good
illustration of the desperate means to
which republicans will resort even un-
der slight temptation, The most salts
factory feature of the squabblegis that
Engle appears to have got left Under
the circumstances the democrats were
entitled to organize the senate. but
were prevented from doing SO by the
infidelity of Engle and the usurpation
of Poyner. = Louisville Courier-Jour-

THE DISTRICT SYSTEM.
Republican Approximations Regarding II
Are Groundiess.

Republican Approximations Regarding IL
Are Groundiess.
In the discussion of the Michigan
plan Of choosing electors, as the district
system is coming to be known, it is
quite generally conceded that there
should be uniformity in this matter in
the states. Otherwise the accidents of
popular elections would afford partisans
opportunities for unfair advantages.
For instance, had the democratic ma
jority in the last Ohio legislature adopt
ed the district plan. and had it remained
in operation during the coming
presidential election, the democrats
might have obtained fourteen or fifteen
Of the twenty-one district electors,
while the republicans m ay have twenty
Thousand majority in the popular vote !,
It's not assumed that the democrats had
any intention of pursuing this course
IT it had been practicable. but it affords
an illustration of what is possible
under the present optional provisions
Of the constitution. The repub-
licans, recalling the desperate ex-
pcdients of their own party in
several instances to secure needed
electoral votes, profess to be appre-
hensive that the democratic majority
in the New York legislature will cxer-
else the power in its hands to choose
the presidential electors That would
be following numerous early prece-
dents, but would, under the present
circumstances. be indefensiblc. The
need Of uniformity as the rule
Is hardly controverted, but there
is difference of opinion as to
the best method The recommen-
dation Of the president that the constr
tuition be amended so as to require
election by general ticket does not
meet much faysF No action j. likely
