THE question of honest elections is
one that confrOnts the American voter,
and must be adjusted with an equality
of suffrage to the contending parties,
before each mans vote counts what the
law contemplates. 1t goes without
saying, that the partizans of one class
will not see those OF the other class
use special advantages indefinitely,
without catching on to their methods
and turning an advantage also when
they can. Fraudulent methods once
getting a strong hold as a means of
warfare, do not stop with the common
enemy, but becomes the method of
warfare ofOne faction downing another
in the same party, as has several times
been witnessed in our own state.
Sooner or later, a better and more
honest method must be reached. The
leading men of the parties, with honest
intent, could get together and devise a
plan that would practically meet the
case. President Harrison suggests a
method that looks entirely fair. He
urges that nOn-partisan commission
should be created to consider the evils
connected with our elections, and to
suggest appropriate and effective rem
edies. He intimates that it might be
appointed by the Supreme Court in
order to secure impartiality and the
highest degree of public confidence.
There is nothing of the partizan spirit
in such proposal. The cry of force
bill, tissue ballots, fraudulent tax re-
ceipts, padded assessments, &C., would
then be practically thing of the past.

The cholera question is still upper
most in New York, with an active
quarantine of the incoming ships. And
Notwithstanding this, there seems little
slackening in the tide of immigration
from infected ports inEurope The steam
ship companies will be compelled to
pay the costs of quarantine, which are
likely to be enormous during the com
ing three months. DIR. Jennings has
headed off the cholera thus far, and
feels hopeful that it will not get a
lodging in the city. Vessels are COM
ing into the harbor every day, but not
allowed to get up to the city, some of
which are suffering with the disease,
one at least having sc cases on board.
DIR. Shakespeare, in the Medical NeUs
of September 10, makes a very strong
argument in favor of a system of ma
tiOnal quarantine. He claims that the
present methods of independent quar-
antine, provided and regulated by
seaboard states or cities, are essentially
defective and insufficient for the exclu-
sion of cholera and other epidemic
diseases. He points out the incurable
weakness of a system which has no
single administrative head, and the
consequent necessity of Federal action

THERE were two Agricultural Fairs
last week, one at Elkton, the other at
Wilmington. In regard to that at
Elkton the Wing says:
Some apprehension had been felt
by the friends of the fair, that the un-
fortunate collision of days between
Elkton and Wilmington would mater.
ially effect the attendance here. Such
was not the case, for the number in at
tendance on Tuesday equalled, if it
did not exceed that of previous fairs,
and the attendance on Wednesday
was nOticeably larger than usual.
while that of Thursday and FRIDAY
was quite up to the standard of recent
years.
The Wilmington fairseemsnot to have
Jared so well. There is an evident loss
of interest in fairs, and they can be
kept continuously, so many of them
The EUery Evening in speaking of the
fair says:
1t is an open secret that it is the last
fair held by the Wilmington Agricul-
tural and Industrial Association under
the existing conditions.
A general estimate of the attend
ance during the week would not reach
$4,000. The detail for each day as es.
timated, is Tuesday, $500; Wednesday
$500; Thursday, 10000; Friday, 5000.
These are melancholy figures for the
managers of the enterprise to meet.
Were it polite for them to speak it is
highly probable they each and all
would express themselves as thor
oughly sick Of the whole enterprise.
Everyone in connection with it has
done his level best to make the fair
p1r directors have been eco
nOmlcal 10 that extent that they have
earned for themselves the reputation
of prosimoniOusness. Every effort was
stretched to "stOp leaks" The real
facts are that no money was escaping,
but it was not coming in.
The directors paid the sum of 81 300
out of their individual pockets to cod
die the wsakling into very life. The
w. q n. r. r., gave $1,000 in hard
cash. But that is the last. Nothing
more will be done in that way. This
week has finally demonstrated the
fallacy of throwing good money after
bad.
On the other hand it is contended
that the Wilmington fair can be made
as successful an enterprise as any in
the country. All that is required, it is
claimed, is to take off the restrictions
that now exist.
