an incoming passenger train on the
Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis rail
road under circumstances which seem TO
indicate suicide. AS the train came in
at thirty -mile-an hourrate the woman
walked upon the track, and, paying no
attention to the warning whistles, stood
still until she was struck by the pilot.
The blow threw her over a mile post, a
distance Of thirty-fve feet. Her neck,
back, shoulder and several ribs were
broken. She was unknown, apparently
about 80 years Of age, and was poorly
clad. The coroner's jury exonerated the

Robinson, you can't expect us to do
that when we already have positive in
formation that you are trying to buy up
the men whom you think we are likely
to appoint. The voters assistants
shall not be appointed until just before
the polls open.
This positive declaration, made by
Chairman Robinson, did more to unset
tie the plans of the Republicans than
anything that he could have done 1t
was only a few days later that Major
Wootten exposed Senator Higgins's at
tempted bribery of registration officer
and possible voters assistant.
The Democratic leaders Of Sussex are
confident. They know that they are
surrounded by treacherous political deal
ings never before known, but they will
meet it like men, and resist every at
tempt at intimidation. There may be
trouble in some parts of the county, but
If there is it will be due to crookedness
upon the part of the Republicans. The
Democrats are determined to leturn
George Gray to the United States senate
and, in the words of Major Wootten to
Senator Higgins:
'The Democrats of Sussex county have
made up their minds to give a good ma
iority; and when they make up theii
minds to do a thing you may depend
upon it that they will do it..

The Plan of Campaign.

The Republicans have several scheme mes
for influencing voters. They know they
cannot trust the men whom they buy.
The principal plan Of compaign is to in
duce purchaseAble men to stay at home.
For this purpose they are offering from
$40 TO $50 per head.
For those who will not stay at home
they have another plan, equally effective
but only half as remunerative. This is
to buy Democrat, allow him to enter
the booth and prepare his ballot. Before
be leaves the booth he must tear off one
of the designs at the head of the ticket
and put it in his pocket. He then folds
and votes the mutilated ticket and goes
ont side to the man who bought him. lie
then produces the printed design torn
from the ballot and gets his pay. When
the ballots are counted the mutilateo
sheet is thrown out and the Republicans
have gained half vote
Their main dependence is, however, To
stay at home. There is less trouble anC
less danger of detection.
1t was their purpose to buy up the
voters assistants and while Ma1ol

condition there is very peculiar in many
ways. If one man is loyal to the Demo-
cratic cause we are all right for from
25 to 40 majority. If he is crooked
we will fall behind almost that much.

everything will be all right in the

PREPARING A COAT OF WHITRWAsH.

The Times of yesterday contained an
editorial taking the ground that the in
vestigation by the police commission, Of
corruption in regard to gambling in
Chinatown, had resulted in nothing,
and had simply been started as means
of advertising the Democratic member
of the commission, Mr.. M. P. Snyder.
The fact of the matter is that the inves-
tigation has been conducted in a most
perfunctory manner. Several times the
witnesses in the case cooled their heads
in the commissioners ante room, fur an
hour or more, waiting for the Repub-
lican members to appear, only to be
informed that the affair would have to
be postponed. Dilatory, evasive tactics
have characterized the whole affair, and
will continue 30 to do, until the inevita-
BILE coat of official whitewash is admin
istered by the Republican majority.
Everyone knows that the Chinatown
criminal element always has been only
too glad to debauch officials, and there
is no indication that human nature has
changed in the last year or two in
Los Angeles herald., 1892-09-28

The collector of customs at Port Town
send has been instructed to refuse ad-
mission to Ching Yong. from British
Columbia, notwithstanding he is an
English subject and exhibits certifi-
cate of having been naturalized at Van
couver. This is strictly in accordance
with precedent and international law.
The exclusion act prohibits the entrance
of Chinese persons, whether subjects
of the Chinese empire or otherwise"
1t would be an anomalous thing if the
Chinese could nullify an act of congress
by merely becoming the citizens of an
other country. This same experiment
was once before attempted, but failed to
work. Chinese from Hong Kong, which
is an English city to all intents and
purposes, tried some years ago to over
ride the act of exclusion on the ground
that they were British subjects. The
law was not SO strict then as it is now,
but the attempt failed when test case
was brought before the United States
courts. No principle of the law of ma
tions is better settled than that every
country has the right to determine what
aliens shall be entitled to the right of
domicile and what shall be excluded.
Puffendorf and all the public law writers
agree upon this fundamental national
principle.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-09-28

either the Mongols or officials to such an
extent as to entitle one to hold the
opinion that both are now immaculate.
All who know anything about the mat
ter at all say that more or less gambling
always exists in Chinatown, and as long
as it continues the proprietors of the
games will be anxious to bribs anyone
who can protect them.
Official corruption is hard to prove at
any time, as few crimes are easier to
conceal, but it is impossible to get at
anything like fair idea of the situation.
when so-called investigation is ham
pered and delayed through partizan
feeling. There has been con-
siderable strong evidence brought
out Notwithstanding, showing that
Mr.. Snyder had good ground
for instigating the inquiry, and to con-
vince the public generally that more
conclusive evidence might be obtained.
Mr.. Snyder has acted in the matter
solely in the interest of the good govern
ment and good name of the city, and has
won the respect of good citizens of all
parties by his endeavors to throw light
on dark subject. The verdict of the
commission can be foreseen, but will not
be accepted as final by those who have
closely followed the course of the mat.
