Gross Carclcssncs, In Lawmaking.

From 1s47 to 1892 this provision relating
to general elections was on the statuto book
In this State:
40 court shall be opened transact any business,
In any city town OH the day such election shall be
held therein. unless be for the purpose OF rec swing
verdict or dscharRinR jury and every adjournm, mt

ing he day any such election shall be held therein
shall always b. to some other day than the day OF such
election, except such adjournment as may he made
after a has been committed 10 Jury. Hut this
section sh all not prevent the exercise Of the jursdr
ton OF any single mngstra's when It shall be nec,s
sary in criminal cases TO preserve the peace to ar

4 general revision OF the laws Of this
State which are Of permanent character
has been in progress for some years. Tho
work Is done by Il Commission. which now
consists OF Mr. CHARLES A. CoLLIN of Ith-
aca. and Mr. ELI c. BELKNAP OF Unadilla.
These gentlemen revised tho general cleo
ton LAW and presented it for adoption to the
Legislature last winter, incorporating IN II.

and all, and it now constitutes chapter Gal
of the Laws OF 1892. In the schedule of
statutes which it repealed was the act of
ls47 containing the section which we have
quoted. forbidding the opening Of courts in
cities or towns on election day.
We have no fault tt find with the repeal
OF that law. Indeed. it seems important to
the free exercise OF the right of suffrage
that the courts should be accessible to
voters on election day. SO that where the

The Decline Of Republicanism in New
York.

The vote polled in this city on Tuesday
was less than the registration by nearly
nine per cent, or falling Off Of three per
cent. more than in 1888. The vote polled by
CLEVELAND and HARRISON together was
greater than their vote four years ago by
only about five thousand.
II the Republicans had done as we'll pro-
portionately as they did in 1888. Mr.. CLEvK-
LANDS plurality would have been less than
5000. Actually it was more than $4,000.
though the vote polled by him was only
about $4,000 more than he received in 1883.
HARR1soN's vote decreased actually by
nearly 1000, and proportionately it was less
than he received in 1888 by about 5000. In
stead Of being nearly two-fifths it was
about sc per cent. only. 1t was less by over
one per cent. than FAssETT received in 1891,
though usually the Republican percentage
is much more in an election for President
than in State election.
When it was found that the registration
was less than the total expected by at least
$4,000 the Republican leaders took new heart
in their campaign. for they assumed and
boosted that tho disappointing result indi-
Gated Democratic inertia. The returns Of
the other side. They indicate that the
Democrats were registered very full
ly. for their vote corresponded almost
exactly with the number to which
they were entitled. according to their
past percentage. under complete
registration proportionately to the pop
ulation. Both in the registration and
In the falling or OF the vote from the
registration the Republicans were the real
sufferers. They made great deal OF noise
in the local campaign. but they could not
arouse their party
1t is the worst defeat the Republican
party has ever encountered In New York
In the eight years since 1884 they have been
able to increase their vote by only about
5000. while the Democratic vote has in
creased by more than 4l.OOO. They have
lost their grip. Instead OF going ahead
they have fallen behind. and In future cleo
tons their vigor is likely to lessen still
further after this bitter disappointment.
This happy result for the Democracy Of
New York has been accomplished by its
union and harmony under the mastcrly
lead OF Tammany Hall. The Tammnny
organization has crippled the Republican
organization and left it now In condition
OF disorder from which it will be slow to re-
cover. 1t Is absolutely without political
power in New York. Its leaders have been
discredited among their followers. and If
the Republicans are TO make any show at
all in New York hereafter they must set to
work to build up their machine anew from
the very foundation.
Such is the result OF a campaign conduct
ed by Tammany Hall on square Democratic
principles and according to square Demo-
cratic methods. Republican aspect for the
power OF that superb political organization
must be profound in these days. Where.
too. are the maligners Of Tammany Hall
after the tremendous vote Of confidence it
received from the people Of New York last
Tuesday the PARKHURsTs. the D1xoNs. and
like slandcrers who consorted and plotted
to bring about its overthrow?

CHARGED WITH TREASON.
Members of the Advisory COMMITTEES of the
Homestead Strikers in the Meshes OF the law.

PITTsBJRG. Sept. 30.-A great sensation

arrest for treason of a number of the mem
bers of the advisory committee of the
Homestead strikers. Those arrested were
Chairman Thomas j. Crawford, William

T. w. Brown. 1t was late in the afternoon
when the warrants reached Homestead
and were placed In tho hands
of the officers. They started out at
8 o'clock and first caugbt Crawford
and Djreken. The others were caught in
quick succession, before the strikers had
time to realize what was happening. As
the prisoners were speeded to the prison
tents an alarm was taken, and many
strikers FASTENED toward the guard, but
were denied all information. Indeed. sew.
eral of tho prisoners did not know why
they were arrested u ntil safe behind the
bay onets of the soldiers. 1t was intended
frst to keep the prisoners all night, and
hunt for Others, but, through fear of an
attempt at rescue. they were taken to the
City Farm station, placed on the train.
brought to PittsburR 1T IL o'clock, and
landed in jail.
The i~nformations were made by county
detective Beltzhoover this afternoon. be-
Ioio CuioI justice hAoI, VI the Supreme
Court Of Pennsylvania. The petition
charges Hugh ODonnell, Thos. j. CrAw.
ford, John MoLuckie and thirty others. all

f%endants. who are inhabitants and resi-
dents of tho Commonwealth of Pennsyl-
vania, did ordain, prepare and levy war
against the Commonwealth of PennsyT.
yania to the end that the Constitu ton,
laws and authority were detied,

preferred creditors. protecting their home
creditors and farmers who had deposited

doubt, recover from the railroad for the loss
on damaged wheat, and pay out dollar for

$780, O0. The Commercial Bank, of Russia
