SEATTLE. TUEsDAF. MARCH &c.
AN EXPLANATION REQUIRED.

On the day of the city election o num-
Der of Republican workers at the polls
were arrested on warrants charging them
with various offenses, principally with
procuring the registration Of fraudulent
names. These warrants were sworn to
by Mr.. Heifner and Mr. Hart, of the
Democratic committee; by w. G. Ronald,
the brother Of Mayor Ronald, and by
other prominent Democrats.
A number of these cases came up for
hearing yesterday and they were all dis
missed because nobody appeared to prose-
cute them. The compliments appear to
have lost all interest in the proceedings.
The public is entitled to know whether
these complaints were made simply to
intimidate Republican workers and to
add plausibility to the Democratic cry
of fraud. If Messrs Heifner, Hart
and Ronald caused the arrest of Republic
ans simply for political effect, they are
guilty of grave offense under the laws of
this state and should be punished accord
ingly. If, on the other hand, they
had evidence against the persons
arrested, they should not have dropped
the proceedings and thus have given tacit
approval to the crimes which, before cleo
tion, they were SO eager to have punished.
An explanation may fairly be demanded
here. Was the Democratic committee
perpetrating fraud and crime when it
caused the issuance Of those warrants2 Or
does 1t regard the purity of the ballot as
not worth protecting after the election is
over? The people may well ask these
nuestionu

THE KELLEY CURE.

The men who reform and stay reformed
are not the subjects of sentimental treat
ment They are those capable of self-hate
and self-contempt because of self-abuse in
the matter of incorporate drinking. If
man IS capable of sincere spiritual shame
and self-reprosch, he is as rule capable
OF reformation, but the sentimental treat
meat is not calculated to rouse this mood,
which makes a man want to scourge him
self from head to foot. For the man who
is angry with himself and feels that he
does well 10 be angry there is always hope,
but the sentimental treatment ministers
TO the vice of self-e1tenuation and self
pity, instead of the aggressive mental
atmosphere Of selfaccusation and re-
proach.
What is wanted for the incorporate
man is bracing atmosphere. sharp with
the cold, singing breeze of silent but In
flexible social inclemency for intemper-
snce. fit be urged that this is rather
heroic treatment in many cases, the an
swer is that it is the best in the long run
for the vast majority of those who are
capable of reform. If q man has become
SO utterly wrecked in will and conscience
that he is really incapable of re-
form by his own personal efforts
he should so TO some hospital for
inebriates and recover, if possible, by med
icI restraint, tonic treatment and diet,
his normal power of will and self-control.
Whatever the Kelley treatment does for
the inehriate it certainly cannot do more
than restore him TO the plane OF normal
seli.eontrol, 90 that ii the man is seriously
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1892-03-22

resolved 70 abstain he can do 50. The
Keeley treatment is probably very like
the benefits derived from visiting medi-
cinal spring; the visitor is helped more
by change of air, scene, society and sur
roundings than he is by the chemical viz
tues of the water.
There is a deal of nonsense talked con-
corning inebriates. There is no more rea-
son WHY society should specifically take
anv less severe view Of man who be-
came ruined in body and mind through
alcoholism than it does OF any other man
who became ruined in body and mind by
habits of pernicious self-induigence. Inc
briates should be treated just Ike All
other offenders against the requirements OF
social decency; they should suffer the same
social rebuke; should receive the same
vote of a want of public and private con-
fidence and respect that rakes, iibertlnes,
liars, scandal mongers, dead beats and
thriftless folk generally obtain. When
any of these parasitic or predatory people
persist in giving no heed to the rebuke OF
private remonstrance or public reproof
and finally become, through their vices,
incapable of selfsupport, We remit them
to the almshouse or the hospital for the
insane, and if they become turbu-
lent or criminal we consign them
to prison; in any event We would not take
much stock in the proposition that
creature of unbridled lust could be made
chaste or a creature of Kleptomaniac
quality could be regenerated by injections
of bi-chloride of gold administered period
ically to a house full of old rakes and
roues exchanging solemn condolences con-
corning their lifelong wrestle with satyri-
asis, which term can be applied to the
victim OF years of unbridleG lust quite as
fairly as dipsomania to the victim OF
years Of Incorporate use of alcohol.
There is no Kelley institute or treat
ment for chronic rakes as there is for
chronic "drunks" Why not? Is there
really any sense in making any more stir
over the fate and treatment of the victims
of unbrldled lust for wine than there is
over the fate and treatment of the victim
of unbridled lust for women? Senator
Proctor, of Vermont, is responsible for the
following:

his long and useful life has accumulated re-
spsctab bic fortune by the slow but sure process
