The House passed the BILL yesterday
repeating the Federal Election Law by
q vote OF 900 yeas to 100 nays. It Is
not certain by any means that It will
pass the Senate. as the members Of
that body, 1t is hoped. have not lost
all sense Of honesty. and stand ready
to obey the behests of demagoguss
who wish 10 profit by dishonest cleo
lions. In the South the law has al
ways been dead letter. but In the
cities of New York. Boston. Albany,
Cincinnati. Chicago, San Francisco and
Jersey City, 1t may still have the effect
OF making false registrations, repeat.
ing and ballot-box stufilng rather
dangerous II It does not entirely pre-
vent ohicanery and fraud.
The law has held the Tammany
bosses in check for twenty years, and
Davenport has been n terror to the
evil doors. The Democrats can hardly
afford to remove all barriers to pre-
vent roguery at the polls as such &C
tion will eventually recoll on theil
own heads, and therefore we say the
Senate may possibly reject the bill.

EXTENSIVE FRAUD uNEARrATp,
A Conspiracy Among Polish Hebrews "a
swindIe beneficial 1rders

- conspiracy AmouE folieh Hebrews TO
swindle BanenoIai Orders.
PHLADEIrHIA. Oct. 11.-what appears
TO be an extensive conspiracy among Ger.
tain Polish Hebrews In this city TO swim.
die fraternal beneficial orders was brought
to climax last night by the arrest Of five
officers, prominent in the affairs of the
local councils Of the National Fraterfnal
union, OF Cincinnati. Other sick benefit
societies and large number Of people are
said to be involved, and many arrest are
looked for. Those arrested last night are:
Moses Parker, Selig Lieberman and Samuel
z. Blumberg, financial accountants Of the
three cou ncils, and Drs Lewis s. Rubin
sohn and Abraham Hahn, medical exam
iners.
Early in the year three councils Of tn q
order were established here, their mem
bership being made up entirely OF
Hebrews. As soon as the thirty day limit
had expired applications for sick benefits,
in all cases for the limit Of $25 per week,
began to roll In. The supreme officers at
Cincinnati suspected fraud and began an
investigation, finally hiring Pinkerton
man, who came here, connected himself
with one OF the councils and got himself
admitted to the conspiracy, sharing the
profits thereof. His evidence against the
prisoners Is Of the most damaging char.
acter.
Nearly a 600 has been fraudulently col.
lected by the conspirators from the National
Fraternal union alone and it Is almost
certain that they have swindled other
orders OF the same character
