A WARNING IN ALABAMA.

The Birmingham Age-Herald, one of
the most influential Democratic papers
in Alabama, in q recent editorial, de-
clared hat the public concern has of
late been aroused regarding ballot box
frauds in that State as never before,
and that 'the people will not much
longer submit to election frauds on such
a scale as they are now practiced in
Alabama" In the course of the article
it says:

In reply to a suggestion that editor
Watterson, of the Louisville Courier
Journal, was too poor to accept a Cabi-
net position, the gentleman says:
The lack of money. though a serious
drawback, is least of the objections Mr..
Watterson has TO the idea of taking office,
whose servitude. insecurity of tenure and
dependence have always mad for him o
kind of terror. After q man has shown
himself wholly unfit for anything else. 1t
will be time enough to send him to Wash
ington.
1t is probable that Mr.. Watterson's
ideas of ofice-hOlding in Washington
are not far wrong, but in view of his
open opposition to Mr.. Cleveland before
the Chicago convention and of that
mighty p%otentate's well-knOwn vindict-
iveness towards those who have ever
questioned his political in%fallibility,
there does o seem to be any immi-
nent danger that Mr.. Watterson will be
drafted into the service. The truth is,
he can serve the country better by edit
ing q bright and honest newspaper, al
though Democratic, than he can by
holding office.

THE action OF Encouragement
Smith in filing a motion for a ~rehearing
in the gerrymander SUIT will not be APP
proved by ~anyperson who believes in
fair elections and honest politics. The
object of the motion can only be to OBJ
tain a reversal of the recent decision of
the Supreme Court. and thereby retain
the present Rerrymander in force. As
the court is now organized. the Demo-
Gratis have a majority of the judges. and
the motion of the Attorney general Is
notice that he hopes to get a reversal
of the late decision on partisan grounds.
The court held the present act uncon-
~stitntional. but also held hat it was
competent for the present Legislature
to enact q new one in accordance with
the provisions of the Constitution, as
laid down by the court. The motion for
rehearing is n confession on the part of
the Acknowledgement that the Demo-
cratic party does not want a fair appor-
tionment, and will not consent to let
stand a decision condemnatory of GER
rymanders. 1t places the Democracy of
Indiana in opposition to the best senti-
ment of the country, irrespective of
party, on the gerrymander question. 1t
is a step backwards.

THE PERFECT WORK OF DEMOCRACY.

The Brooklyn Eagle. an out-and-o out
Democratic as well as Cleveland organ,
begins an article regarding the Demo-
cratic delegation from Kings county, of
which Brooklyn is the greater part, as
follows:
The seventeen Democratic Assemblymen
from Kings county are TO meet tonight for
consultation The conference will be the
first they have held since the election.
There is no doubt that the delegation will
act as \ unit on all essential matters. It's
members are identified with the regular or
CanizatiOn. They will follow the directions
of Hugh Mclaughlin. TO his will they are
not less responsive than the Tammany AS
sem oily men are to the wishes of Richard
Croker. While Mr.. Mclaughlin is Lot in
clined to trouble himself with details. no
action of Importance will be taken or con-
sented TO without his approval. With him
is absolute control of the members. With
him will be responsibility for whatever
course they may adopt.
That is, one man in Kings county and
another in New York control a majority
of the Democratic members in the lower
branch of the New York Legislature for
the year 1898. In these two cities De-
mocracy has performed it's perfect
work, and that perfect work in one
city is the head of Tammany Hall and
in the other O boss who has absolute
power over the members of the
Legislature and the governments
of both cities. In the civilized
world, outside of Russia, there are
not two men who WELD such absolute
political power over so many people rs
do Richard Croker, of New York, and
Hugh McLauR HIN, of Brooklyn. Both
cities have mayors and councils. but
they simply register the DEGREES of two
men. 1t is re ported in Democratic cir
cles that the Democratic leaders in this
city. Messrs. Taggart, Holt, Wilson.
Coy and others, have been SO impressed
with the absolute perfection of the Tam
many machine that they have resolved
to found a similar one in Indianapolis.
Indeed, if rumors are not all false, the
building of the machine has begun.

THE Legislature of Nebraska is SO di-
vided that more of the three parties has
q majority. Therein lies a great chance
for the Peoples party. 1t may be as
sumed that the thoughts of the p. p.
soar far above the few paltry offices in
the gift of the Legislature. 1t may also
be assumed that the two corrupt organ
izations known as the Democracy and
the O.. o. p. care for naught else than
"the spoils." Therefore a few petty Of
fees, unworthy the notice of the public
minded patriots who are managing the
third party. can be neatly traded off for
the legislation which the dOwntrodden
masses are SO earnestly crying for. 1t
is q glorious opportunity.

A BAD CASE OF BIG HEAD.

Mr.. Cleveland seems to have a bad
case of what is commonly known rs the
big head. He gave symptoms of the
disease during his first term, but since
his reelection it has developed into a
very bad case. The disease itself is a
progressive n and generally incura-
BILE. Like progressive paresis, lido
pathic anemia and pseudohypertrophic
paralysis, it generally grows worse as
long as life lasts, and either causes the
death or destroys the usefulness of its
victim.
Mr.. Cleveland's case dates from the
time he began to regard himself as a
man of destiny. and this idea dates from
his first nomination for President. AS
sheriff OF Erie county, New York, he
was, tradition says, quite a reasonable
sort of person. AS Mayor of Buffalo he
was not Extensively overbearing or die
tatorial, and as Governor of New
York he did not take on autocratic
airs until he began to be talked
of for President. By the time he was
luO u luca
had become firmly fixed in his mind,
and his election confirmed that theory.
The disease grew on him during his en-
tire first term. 1t received q decided
impulse from his denomination, and its
progress was only partially arrested by
his defeat. After his retirement from
Office he nursed his ambition and his
theory more ~assiduously than ever, and
seems never to have doubted that he
would be renominated in 1892. His re-
election has aggravated his disease be-
yOnd all precedent, and he now presents
one of the most extraordinary and alb
normal cases of megalocephalus on rec
ord.
1t has sometimes been said that nc
man is bigger than his party. Mr..
Cleveland does not think so. Probably
he would admit that other men are no
bigger than their party, but he evident
ly intends to show the world that he is
a conspicuous exception to the other
wise universal rule. As a man of des-
tiny. he evidently thinks that the
fortunes of the Democratic party and
the welfare of the American people
have been committed to him for safe
keeping, and that his trust will not be
properly discharged unless he %arrOgates
to himself all the functions of his party
and all the departments of the govern
ment. Most Presidents are content to
await their induction into office before
they begin to exercise authority. Mr..
Cleveland has been debating his party's
policy since the day of his election. His
predecessors in the presidential office
have been content to appoint executive
officers and enforce the laws made by
Congress. He wants to nominate Sem
atOrs and dictate what laws they shall
pass. At the present time he is trying
to control the choice for United States
Senator in seven or eight States. He is
also trying to control the election for
Speaker of the House, the organization
of the committees and the legislation of
Congress. In short, he has become q
complete victim of the man-of-destiny
idea. AS a prominent Democrat re-
marked a few days ago. alt begins to
look as if Mr.. Cleveland thought that
he vas elected to take charge of the en-
tire government of the country" 1t
certainly looks very much that way.

MIR. y. Il. DEPAUw, manager of the
extensive plate glass works at New AL
bany. and part proprietor of those at
Alexandria, in Madison county. says the
recent action of the plate-glass manu-
facturers in putting their entire product
for sale in the hands OF one person was
simply q step towards economy in the
matter of production. The object
ia to do away with agents. There are
now seven plates glass companies in the
country, owning eleven plants, which
produce 10000. 900 feet of glass per
annum. This is about 100000 feet
more than the annual consumption.
The manufacturers have had about
fifty agents in their employ, at a cost of
more than 500, 900 a year, and they pro-
pose TO try and cut off this item of ex-
pense by placing their entire product in

orders and divide them pro rata among

seek office employ the services of the
professional ballot-box manipulation to
secure a nomination and then to make
sure an election at the polls. In other
words. the whole political system has
fallen into the hands of a few men who
have become expert in multiplying the

as it Is with pleas of party necessity.
The foregoing is not the expression of
the Organo of the defeated party in Ala
bama, but the confession and warning
of one of the ablest and most jealous
supporters of the Democratic regime,
which, by ballot-bo frauds, made
Jones Governor and gave the electoral
vote of the State to Mr.. Cleveland. No
Wonder such a condition of things "is
utterly demoralizing," when ballot-box
crimes undermine the very foundation
of popular government. Not only will
those who control the government be-
come inefficient and corrupt, but the
penalty of this greatest of crimes is
tho destruction of the sense of moral
obligation in all those relations which
give security to society and integrity
