STUPIDITY OR puPLICITY-WHICH2

-
The folly of the Sentinel in charging
that the Journal has assaulted the credit
of Indianapolis makes it an imperative
duty to repeat the history of an affair
which has caused all the comment which
has been made, and which fastens upon
the Sentinel's friends either the charge
of gross stupidity or the suspicion of
rascality, namely, the refunding taScO.
Jealous to promote the financial in
terests of the city, Controller WOollen
began a year ago to negotiate with
bankers to take up the $621, 900 of bonds
bearing 7.3 interest which have ma
tured and are now practically in
default. He succeeded in finding
q house. represented by q Mr..
Banfill. of New York. which presented.

them for fOur-per-cents. upon condi-

effort in its behalf. In order to secure
the approval of the Council Mr.. Rass-
mann, chairman of the finance COM

and the matter explained to him. He
objected to immediate action, because
he had promised the Frenzels to give
them a chance. In an interview which
Mr.. Rassmann accorded the Journal,
published Sept. .. 1892, he said:

PROPOSED REPEAL OF THE FEDERAL ELEC-
TON LAWS.

Senator Pugh, of Alabama, chairman
of the committee on the judiciary, and
a member of the committee on privi-
leges and elections, says the Democrats
in the next Congress will repeal all of
the federal election laws. By this is
meant the laws relating to the national
supervision of national elections, the
appointment of deputy marshals. super
~visors, etc. The reason why these laws
should be repealed, said Senator Pugh,
is that they grew out of the prejudices
and the conditions immediately follow
ing the civil war. 'The conditions have
changed" he continued; "the States
are now working in the interest of a free
ballot and a fair count. and the sup
posed necessity for federal interference
does not exist" Being asked in what
way the Southern States were trying to
reform the system of elections the Sem
atOr replied: "By the introduction of
the Australian ballot system or n modi-
~fication of it. We have a law similar to
the Australian in our State now, and
the POpulists are trying to make it an
issue In the next election, because it
disfranchises m white people. The
effect of the Australian ballot is to elm
mate the ignorant n irresponsible ell
ement from elections
We have no doubt that Senator Pugh
correctly foreshadows the intentions of
the Democratic party in regard to the
f1~--l -l- -z Nh. H. ILL
be repealed. The Democratic party has
no use for any laws that may interfere
with State or local control of national
elections. AS long as the continued
supremacy of the Democratic party de-
ponds on dishonest elections it would
be absurd to expect it not to oppose laws
framed in the interest of honest cleo
tons.
Senator Pugh says that the Southern
States are trying to secure honest cleo
tions by introducing the Australian sys-
ten cor a modification of it," Just SO.
and the notifications" are in the in
| terest of unfair and dishonest electi ons.
Wherever any form of the Australian
ballot system has been adopted in
the South it has been with a
view of excluding negro voters.
THE effect of the Australian ballot"
say Senator Pugh, "is to eliminate the
ignorant and irresponsible element from
elections" The genuine Australian bal
lot system is not intended to and does
not exclude ignorant voters. On the
contrary, it makes express provision for
polling the votes of persons who may be
unable to read their ballots.
The Southern States are not doing any
thing to secure fair and honest elections.
and the repeal of the national election
laws certainly will not be a step in that
direction. The objective point of the
dominant party in all the Southern
States is to maintain the solid South.
and nobody knows that better than
Senator Pugh.

whioh the apostolic delegate may take to-

IF it is true, as asserted by one of the
directors of the worlds fair, that the
fire which resulted in such shocking
loss of life was traceable to the reduce
tion in the force Of the Columbian
Guards. a great responsibility rests upon
the fair management. The expenses
of the exposition have been, and are
still. heavy, and must inevitably be 80.
but newspaper writer's and others who
have criticised the large outlay rs un-
necessary have not been proper judges
of the matter. If the directors or ex-
ecutive committees have been Influenced
by these criticisms, or by a false idea of
economy. they have shown themselves
unfit for their positions of authority.
They knew. or should have known, the
number of guards required for safety,
and should not have listened to the ad-
vice of outsiders. The cutting down of
expenses will cost more than it saved in
this instance.
