FRAUD AND THE BALLOT LAW

FRAUD AND THE BALLOT LAW.
We will do the San Francisco Chronicle
the justice to say that it is true, as it pro-
tests to a contemporary, that it did not
seek to engraft upon the ballot law provi-
sions that would cripple it. The Chronicle
opposed the law in toto, excepting moth
ing in it, and granting nothing for it.
That much is the simple truth.
But we take issue with the Chronicle in
its statement that ''the election in Sacra-
mento last week demonstrated that the
system is complicated, and that under it
the opportunities for fraud are increased
tenfold." There are five thousand voters
in Sacramento who stand ready to testify
that the system is not complicated, but
that it is simple and easily understood,
rapid in operation and without serious
error. The record and history of the
election proves that no new opportunities
are opened for fraud, and that nine
tenths of the old ones are absolutely
closed.
The one and only thing about the law
or its operation upon which the Chronicle
can lay its finger that gives any ground
whatever for its assertion, is the Glitter
ate clause" That the people will next
fall eliminate by instructing the Legisla-
ture to present constitutional amend
ment refusing illiterates the elective fran
chise by establishing an educational
qualification. With that done there will
that any law can by any possibility of
legislation close, no matter what the bal
lot system in use.
The Chronicle has been the consistent
enemy of the ballot law; the reasons that
move it to such opposition we do not in
quire into. But we do look from any op-
ponent to the law for perfectly frank ac-
acknowledgement of error when once it is
pointed out. The fact that in one of the
hottest and most bitterly contested cleo
tions ever held in this city, where boss
rule is something tyrannical and as inn
pertinent as anything San Francisco has
ever experienced, there were but sixty
five illiterate voters-many of whom
were honest voters-who claimed the
instruction privilege" out of over 5000
who voted, is fact the force of which
common decency demands of the Caro1,i-
Gle to admit frankly.

NEXT week the three days debate on
the free silver bill opens in the House.
All the indications point to the passage
of the measure in that body. Yet the
telegraph dogmatically declares in re-
cent dispatch that the bill will be de-
feated. What ground there is for this ex-
preston of belief we are not informed.
1t is certainly consummation to be de-
sired, but we entertain no hope of that
great good being accomplished. The
friends of an honest dollar must place
their reliance upon the Senate and the
President.

IF it is true that the women of Otsego,
Mich, felt justified by the ebb of public
spirit in that place in resorting to the
means alleged to raise money for the
local library support, then Otsego ought
to go in sackcloth and ashes for a year
and day. We are told that the women
disguised themselves and blacked boots
on the streets, turned hand-organs, and
sang on the walkways, and sold popcorn
balls on the curb, in order to raise the
needed money. Any community that
has intellectual dry rot so badly as to
tenance for town library ought to be
drummed out of civilization.

can be given in a sentence or a para
graph upon any subject of importance.
What, for instance, would the great de-
tenders of the Constitution have done if
limited to few sentences in expounding
the charter of our free system?
We are told that life is too short to read
long essays. If the essays treat OF mat
ters demanding statement, evidence, con-
clusion, refutation of error and clear
presentation of truth, then time is well
"spent in" reading them, no matter how
long.
Seth Low, Mayor of Brooklyn, requires
about three columns solid to present
clearly the reason for the Brooklyn sys-
tenn giving its Mayor extraordinary
power. But the paragraphists insist that
it is sufficient for Mr.. Low to say, "Our
system is good one. We believe in it.
Other cities ought to adopt it, because
Brooklyn has," But what effect can such
method of treating so important gov
ernmental subject have upon the intelli-
gent voter? 1t leaves him where he be-
gan, ignorant of the principle involved,
and with only dogmatic declaration to pin
his faith upon.
Governments are not builded, systems
of free government debated, the truth
evolved and men led to the conviction of
the right by the dogmatic paragraphist.
The truth is that very much of our diff
ficulties and errors in legislation and pol
itics are to be attributed to the fact that so
many people wish their thinking done to
order, and are so engrossed by the rush
for the dollar that they do not stop to
read, think and act with intelligence
Yet these same people will diligently per-
use a column of Police Court reports,
greedily devour twice the space that gives
an account of prize fight, or treble the
amount of matter devoted to the tribula-
tions of a criminal and the vaporings of a
lunatic.

On March 10, 1865, Sherman's
victorious army was taken by
surprise at Bentonville by the
Contederates under General Joe
Johnston. SloCum'S command
was for a time in danger of almost
complete annihilation.
Nothing but the most desperate
fighting saved the Federal forces
from overwhelming defeat. The
slaughter on both sides was
terrific.

the most of an opportunity. Fol-

STILL no response from Lord Salisbury,
and already several of the Canadian sail

preparatory for piracy among the seals in

full justification for ordering the new

THE MAYOR AS AN EXECUTIVE.

Under the new charter the Mayor is to
be the chief executive officer of the city.
He is to watch over all official conduct,
examine into and supervise all depart
mental workings and city institutions:
appoint experts to examine official rec
ords, advise the Trustees as 10 city needs,
see that all books are properly kept, re-
ports promptly made, and the city money
monthly carefully counted and securely
kept. He is to give attention to the pre-
servation of public order and the sup
preston of riots, and he can command
