THE TRIUMPH OF RIGHT.
Democracy Has at Last Regained 1t
Own in New York.

Democracy Has at Last Regained Its
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 nocratic state,
but by means of wicked gerry
mander, and by violating plain in
junction of the constitution, the re-
publicans have Tor nearly generation
controlled the legislature and monopo-
lized the representation of the state in
the United States senate. The mag
nificent ajority by which they carried
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-
partments of the government. They
will now proceed to take the enumera-
ton of inhabitants and reapportion the
state in accordance with the constitu-
tonal provisions. The majority of the
people of New York again rule after a
long period of virtual disfranchise-
ment They will not soon permit them
selves, we may be sure, to be again de-
prived of their rights. indianapolis

REPEATED WRONGS.
The History of Repubiicanism Recort
of Corruption.

of Corruption.
The history of the repu bEcan 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 1876, 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 tina t
thing was character. The popular
belief in its sincerity and SIM
plicity and high aims and unselish
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
it lost the presidency for the first time
by going one step further and nominal
ing man who, rightly or wrongly.
was suspected not only of having the
support of cheats, but of being a cheat
himself. 1t got back the presidency in
1883. almost every body now admits, by
venality on an enormous scale, under
the leadership of a man accused not
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 a
palmer political lesson? Does it not
show, as many another historical les
son has shown, that ill-gotten powe;
cannot be permanent? 1t may be &C
quired by theft, or fraud, or murder,
but it 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

Mr. Blaine Has Another Attack of Pc.
riodicaI Patriotism.
Gen. Alger has talked few lines to
Detroit paper of his visit to Mr..
Blaine. What he said was not particu-
larry new or important, but the way
he said it is brimful of suggestions.
Gen. Alger said:
s'Mr Blaine said nothing to me that would fur
nish any indication to whether he will be a
candidate for the presidency or not. My i'm
preston is that Mr.. Blaine would be glad to be
relieved from the responsibility of his being a
candidate, but if the Minneapolis convention
shall demand that he accept the nomination
believe he is too patriotic to refuse"
So do we. In fact. we know he is,
and we have large piece of history at
hand to prove it.
The United States has no more
lespie 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 a dozen or SO terrapin and
calling in 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.

LONDON, Jan. 22.-The funeral serv-
ices over the remains of Cardinal Man
ming were held in the Brompton oratory
yesterday. Admission to the oratory
was by ticket only, for it would have
been utterly impossible for the struc-
ture to contain hundredth part of the
vast crowd who were DESTROYS of pay
ing last token of respect to the dead
prelate. The crowd began to gather in
the vicinity of the oratory at an early
hour, and every minute it gained in
size. 1t was composed largely of work
ingmen and their families. and on every
side could be heard expressions of love
for the man who had devoted so much
of his time and talents to bringing
about betterment in their condition,
and who having fought the good fight,
had gone to his reward.
'I1e was good to the poor" people in
the crowd We're heard to exclaim.
Hundreds of times was this repeated
through the vast crowd, many of the
members of which had a personal
knowledge of the kindness of heart of
the dead cardinal, who had taken in
people CT all religions No higher praise
could be spoken of any man than that
"he was good to the poor" and the poor
of London have good reason to mourn
his loss

REPUBLICAN, CHICANERY.

in iowa.
The su coordinate 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
canvassing the returns for state officers
in the legislature. The houses have
usually formed temporary organiza-
ton for that purpose, and after can
vassing the vote proceeded to organize
permanently. But this year the out
going lieutenant governor was re-
publican and the incoming a democrat.
ators or half of the senate, the repub-
licans twenty-four, and the fiftieth
man was Engle, elected by com bina-
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 a quorum, but he re-
fused and was applauded for so doing.
The repu blicans then dropped Engle,
and made their own nominations.
Lieut.. Gov. Poyner's virtue failed to
hold out. Like Judge Wood, of Indi-
ana, he decided to reverse his own rul-
ing. and proceeded to count 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 dignified or i'm
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 squabble is 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-

Prince George Of Wales.

The funeral train arrived at Windsor
at 2:55 p. m, and was received with
much ceremony at the flower-decorated
station. The streets by that time were
packed with somber-clad people
wedged in behind the troops and po-
lice who lined the route to the castle.
AS the coffin was taken out of the train
and placed upon the gun-carriage in
waiting, combined military band
played THE Dead March," and the
procession started toward st. Georges
chapel. The gun carriage bearing the
remains was escorted by detachment
of the Tenth Hussars (prince of Wales
OWN, the regiment in which the dead
prince held the rank of major. The
coffin was covered with the Union
Jack, and upon it was placed the busby
of the late duke with his sword and
sash. The dead mans charger, COW
cred with sable trappings, was led be-
hind the gun carriage; in the stirrups
were the dead mans military riding
boots, toes turned backward
The remains were preceded by men,
bers of the royal family. Following
the body were all the personal attend
ants of the dead prince and the house
hold of the prince of Wales. The lat
ter, as colonel of the Tenth Hussars,
with the officers of that regiment, were
pall-bearers.
The bishop of Rochester, the dean of
Westminster, the canons of Windsor,
Bishop Barry and other clergy, with
the full choir of st. Georges chapel,
met the funeral procession at the door
of the chapel, and as the coffin was
borne up the aisle the choir led the
way chanting the burial service, while
THE Dead March in Saul was played
On the organ. The coffin was deposited
at the altar. The prince of Wales, in
the uniform of a colonel of hussars,
supported by Prince George. in a
naval uniform, followed the coffin.
The duke of Fife stood at the
head of the coffin, the dukes of
Connaught and Edinburgh and Princes
Henry and Christian being group near
the casket. The chapel was almost
without decoration, but the altar was
draped in black.
The diplomatic corps, ministers, mem

to be had upon it 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 1880, after a
long and fierce contest, for the election
of delegates to the nominating conven-
ton. 1t has been followed since as the
settled policy of the party. II the
principle is good in the one case. why
not in the other? But the Michigan
democrats have done the country good
service in raising the question in
way to elicit general attention.
and lead to the adoption 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 vote. They
simply made an equal division. as they
believed Some who denounce their
action are not aware that the district
system has ever been in use. repub-
lican congressman from Michigan 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 1928
New York chose one elector 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 abaa-
doned to secure uniformity. Yet
it is palpably a more equitable and
unobj Objectionable method than that now
in use. Could there be non-partisan
and fair apportionments, it 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-
meets, as only one district could be af
fected by any effort. The subject may
become prominent in congress this ses-
sion.-St. Paul Globe.

THE DISTRICT SYSTEM.
Republican approximations Regarding /
Are GroundIess.

Republican approximations Regarding 1t
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 oe uniformity in this matter in
the states. Otherwise the accidents of
popu ar 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 remain ed
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.
1t is not assumed that the democrats had
any intention of pursuing this course
if it had been practicabl but it affords
an illustration of what is possible
under the present optional provisions
of the constitution. The repub-
licans, recalling the desperate ex-
pedients 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 exer-
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 indefensib'e. The
need of uniformity as the rrle
is hardly controverted, but there
is difference of opinion as to
the best method The recommen-
dation of the president that the consti-
tuition be amended SO as to require
election by general ticket does not
meet much favor. No action is likely
