character of the old law. A certain
clique would remain at the polling place
until the result of no choice was an
nounced and would then order the polls
to be reopened for second o. adjourned
election. This clique having little
or no opposition of course was success
full, but the result as Is readily under
stood by no means represented the will
Of majority, but on the contrary that
of very insignificant fraction OF the
voters. For this sharp practice there
was no remedy and those who suffered
by it were obliged to possess themselves
in patience for another year.
Now it is the constant and never
changing cry of the Democrats that
they favor purity in elections the sup
preston of all trickery, free ballot
and an honest count, yet when called
upon to prove the sincerity of their be-
lief in these very praiseworthy senti-
ments they not only fail to do so but
are found to be bitterly opposed to their
embodiment in the law. This is one of
the significant differences between DEM
ocratic profession and Democratic per-
formance.

NO QUORUM AGAIN.

The excellent work of this week in
the lower branch of the general assem-
bly, was interrupted yesterday by the
lack of quorum--the cause for which
is plainly and almost exclusively charge
able to the Republican members.
Without discussing the. merits and
demerits of the judiciary act under con-
sideration, the fact is that it is before
the house and must be disposed of, and
that too, before other bills of great i'm
portance can be taken up. The neces-
sity of immediate and systematic action
by the Republicans has been impressed
upon each member not only by the dis
cussions held in caucus but by the per-
sonal appeal of those who disinterest-
edly devote their time to the duties
assigned them. 1t is well known that
at the end Of every session many bills of
a more or less political character are al
ways passed by the dominant party.
This fact alone should be sufficient evil
dence to the Republicans that il they
wish to pass bills of non-political nature
they must constitute themselves quo
rum. The minority can always be de-
pended upon to break quorum when
possible.
Even if the members themselves had
no pride in the matter of attendance,
they are all eager enough to be elected and
it would seem as though they would be
true to their pledges of honor. Such
has not, however, been the case this
week. On two Of the legislative days
of the week just ended enough Re-
publicans pledged themselves to be
present to constittfe a safe quorum.
But at only one vote taken during
those two days did thirty-six Republi-
can members Of the house appear to be
counted.
In yesterdays case the judiciary com
mittee had the right to expect that q
quorum Of members would be present
to act upon the judiciary bill. The
committee has spared no pains TO give
the act careful scrutiny page by page
aud line by lpe. Day after day its
members have held continuous sessions
from 10 o'clock in the morning until IL
o'clock at night. More than month
has been spent in amending IL. Days
have been spent in hearings.
The bill Is not now necessarily per-
feet, but 1t does represent the most

TO STOP TRACK WALKING.

The frequent loss of life resulting
from the reckless use of railway tracks
as highway led, some years, ago to
much discussion as to the best means or
stopping the dangerous practice. The
agitation was not followed by action
and the matter finally passed from pub
lie notice altogether.
Senator Freeman of Lincoln, who is
state commissioner of railroads, ap-
pears, however, to have been carefully
considering the subject, for he has in
corporated in bill, presented by him to
the upper house Of the general assem-
bly, yesterday. provisions which are IN
tended to satisfactorily solve the pro-
bem. He proposes to make track
walking a misdemeanor and to punl' n
TIE offense by fine or imprisonment.
To some the penalty imposed may seem
severe but when they reflect that in
no other way can an adequate RENE dy
for the evil be provided, and that the
end sought is the protection of life, they
will hardly offer objection.
Those who are careless Of their own
lives and needlessly place them in
jeopardy, must be protected from their
own negligence and folly, and it is safe
to say that few prosecutions under
such law as that framed by Senator
Freeman would have n very salutary
effect and in the end result in the
abandonment of a practice which has
been the fruitful cause OF shocking
fatalities. Under the laws governing
property rights 1t is possible now to
prosecute track walkers as tresspassers,
but experience has demonstrated that
railroad companies will not initiate pro-
ceedings SO tine only way to meet the
difficulty, is to enact some such SPECIFIC
statute as that offered by Senator Free
man.
1t is hardly possible that measure SO
plainly in the interests Of humanity will
arouse the opposition, even of those who
affect to find in every bill presented by
a Republican, however desirable or
proper it may, something that smacks OF
politics. There can be no politics in an
endeavor to prevent the mangling and
killing of thoughtless people.

THE LESSON OF THE INDUsrRIALs.


Yesterdays fluctuations in the So
called industrial stocks, reaching in
two stocks, Sugar Trust and General
Electric, twenty-four points, should be
an object lesson not only to spectators
but to the board of managers Of the
New York stock exchange.
The listing of these securities, whose
affairs are managed secretly and whose
standing is known to none but the di-
rectors, began in the season of 1889 when
the listlessness of the market seemed not
unlikely to put an end to speculation.
Railroads had ceased to excite interest.
The operation of the Interstate law had
caused so much rate cutting and the
adoption of so many subterfuges by the
railroad managers that they offered no
field for permanent investment, while
on the other hand they were not active
enough to attract the speculator. 1t
was anything to excite interest, and the
board of managers of the exchang Q
swerued from its conservative course
in listing oil. 1t served its
purpose for time. Silver sue
ceeded it. Both were the cause of
many lost fortune. Now they have
almost ceased to be dealt in. Lead
trust followed Sugar cordage. Chicago
gas and half dozen other unreliable
stocks have recently absorbed public
attention. The events of the past few
days may stop the trading in tn EN-, and
indeed they should. Absolutely with
out any known value they have been
Stunned by conservative brokers for
many months. Now that the break oc-
ours it will fall with especial hardship
upon the small holder whose cap
ital is very limited. That indeed is
the most unfortunate aspect of the situa-
ton. Severe as have been recent de-
clines and sharp as have been the
advances, the losses in all cases seem to
have been suffered by the widespread
multitude of little spectators who now
find themselves penniless. Spread as
these men are all over the country it
will be surprising if serious results do
not follow.
Enough, however, has been shown by
these fluctuations to prove that no one
should risk his money in dealing in in
dustrials unless he has made up his
mind to lose it all, and can afford to
do so.
