Ballot-box frauds in New York city date
back to the war. In Tweed's time the
vote OF New York city was held back until
that Of the rest of the State had been re-
ceived. TO know how large a majority Tam
many would be forced TO roll up to be sue
cessful. Such an evil spreads. consequently
there is not a considerable city in New
York or New Jersey in which the perpetra-
ton OF ballot-box crimes is not regularly
and systematically practiced by Democratic
managers. AS matter of course such
evils grow and soon exceed the bounds
which ordinary prudence would dictate.
Last year they were successfully practiced
I'm all the larger cities Some were inter-
fered with by the federal supervisors. but
Mr.. Cleveland's vote was extended many
thousands in New York Brooklyn. Troy.

lent registration and colonized repeaters.

has registered 6,2ls persons, or 2.OoO more
than there are males. 1t says that it is
boasted that this villainy will be successful
because it will be sustained by every officer
up to and including Governor Flower.
Speaking of this self-confessed fraudulent
registration the Eagle says:
Fraudulent registration signifies fraudu-
lent suffrage. Fraudulent suffrage is an at
tack on the only sovereign or king which
Americans acknowledge. 1t would not be
OveTpunished If it was punished with death.
The Eagle would be entirely willing to have

who get them TO do So
Every honest American citizen says
'amen" to the foregoing sentiments. so
boldly spoken. Ballot-box crimes of any
kind which seek to defeat the will OF the
people are the crimes of all crime. They
are high treason against republican form of
government no matter who commits them
or for what party it is done. Any COM
bination of men that undertakes to carry
an election by voting men who have no
right to vote. falsely counting votes that
are deposited by legal voters or throwing
out of the count ballots cast by qualified
voters on some technicality are more dam
gerous foes to the government of the people
than were JEFF Davis and his coconspira-
tors
New York is not little stirred up by the
glaring evidence Of frauds forestalled by
false registration. Democratic papers are
denouncing 1t in fearless words. In New
Jersey the Infamous race-track gang Of
politicians which controlled the last Legis-
lature have resorted to false registration
to maintain the legislation of last year,
which enables 1t to defy the decency and
moral sense of the State. Great indigna-
ton is expressed, and we'll there may be.
since election frauds are the greatest dan
ger which can threaten the Republic.

A MISTAKE TO DE CORRECTED.

For weeks thesnewspapers have been call
ing the attention of the country to the spec
tacle of minority of the Senate prevent
ing a vote on the Sherman repeal bin.
Columns upon columns have been printed
about ii, and the Journal has done its full
zines contain articles upon the subject
which lead one to suspect that the writer's
have arrived at the conclusion that popu-
lar government is failure.
Subsequent developments have led the
Journal to conclude that the minority of
the Senate was not holding the majority
in that paralysis of fear which is said to
overcome some people when confronted by
a robber in lonely place, who, with pistol
under the victims nose, demands ali the
negotiable values he has about his person.
1t seems to be due the minority of silver
Senators to say that, upon review Of the
acts and revelations of the past few weeks.
however much their words may have con-
victed them, they are not the bold and des-
perate men who seized the alleged major
ity by the throat. In fact, it was the ma
jority that permitted the talk to go long
after debate had ceased. Until after
lamity overlook Senator Germans ridicu-
lous compromise fiasco, there was not
majority of the Senate in favor Of an early
vote on the repeal bill. Brice, German,
Gibson, Faulkner Camden, Gordon, Ran
som and Turpie, Democratic Senators who
finally voted for the repeal bill, were not
In favor of bringing the measure to a vote
until it was manifest to them that no COM
promise could succeed. Take these eight
alleged repeal Senators from the forty
three who finally voted for the bill and add
them to the thirty-two who voted against
il, and the vote in favor of pressing the bill
to vote six weeks ago would have been
thirty-five yeas to forty nays. 1t was not
until these eight Senator's saw that they
could not escape the responsibility
timated to their Democratic free
silver associates. that the latter aban-
doned their opposition to an early vote.
They did so then because they became
minority when these eight Senators were
forced, as Mr.. German said, to come out
boldly for repeal. The delay of weeks is
chargeable to the Senators named rather
than to the free-coinage minority.

few months ago a suit was brought
against four members of the LockpOrt
Coal Exchange charge of conspiracy
to commit acts injurious to trade. One of
the bylaws of the Exchange requires its
members to pay 500 for any violation of an
agreement TO sell coal at price fixed by
the combination. The association was
formed to prevent rivalry which had
made the business Improbable. After it
was organized prices were advanced, but
only sufficient, according to the showing of
the accused to insure a reasonable profit.
Nevertheless they were found guilty, and
now the Court of Appeals has sustained
the lower court holding that the lawfulness
of combination is not to be determined by
it's operations in a particular case, but by
its tendencies and the power conferred upon

It is to be regretted that after its long
exhiation of parliamentary imbecility the
Senate could not have adjourned without
giving an exhibition OF its disgusting greed.
The attempt to grab two months extra pay
for Senator's clerks during the recess of
the Senate is one of the most barefaced
steals on record, and it is made worse by
the fact that the clerks in whose interest
the grab is attempted. are near relatives
OF Senators themselves. The amount of
the grab is $4,000. and it covers pay for the
sons OF ten Senator's. the wife of one Sena-
tor the daughter OF one Senator, and near
relatives of other Senators at the rate Of
$3.50 a month, during the months OF October
and November 1884, when the Senate was
not in session. In order to consummate
this shameless grab 1t was tackled by the
