Mahone's Double Tongue.

Amongst the npmerous letters wnich
were published IN the New York Woriu
of Sunday giving forecasts OF the results
of the elections OF to-day was the fei'
lowing from General Malone:
PETERSBURG. VA. Nov. 3. 1894.
To the Editor of the World:
No man in this State or country can
give an intelligent opinion as to the re-
suit Of the election in this common
wealth. such are the infamous liabiiities
of fraud designedly covered by the exist
ing machine election law. Under 1t there
can be no free expression Of the popular
will and no honest return OF the result
in any election. IL such an election ana
return were possible Democratic machine
candidates in six OF the ten districts
would be overwhelmingly defeated. and
yet, despite the machine. the probabiii-
ties strongly are that five Of such candi-
dates will be defeated anyway Such,
indeed, is the wonderful revolt going on
In the ranks of the Democratic masses.
Lack Of money and employment and dis
tressingy low prices for every species OF
home production have disheartened them
and Danish sentiment from Its previous
influence over political action.
WILLIAM MALONE, Chairman.
This letter cuts its own throat. The
Republicans will gain, so II says. five OF
the congressional districts In Virginia I'M
der a law providing for fraud" This is
to be done despite the machine"
But If the 'anti-machine" Republicans
can secure five representatives under the
new law they could elect all II they had
the votes. for 1t Is clear case that Ma
hone means to say he can carry five dis
tricts which have each large Republic
can vote. and will fail to carry the other
five only because the Republicans have
not the necessary votes in them.
We are glad that General Malone has
thus informed the northern people what
manner of man he is. Everybody who
reads his letter will see that 1t is wholly
inconsistent with itself. 1t reads as II two
writer's had had hand in Its preparation,
and each had written his portion of 1t
without the knowledge Of the other. For
IL there is such law in force in Virginia
as is In that letter spoken OF, 1t will be
impossible for the Republicans to carry
single congressional district. On the
other hand II there Is no such law in
force in Virginia. Malone does not tell
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth.

Atrial by a Muit,tudinous Jury.

The people OF Virginia will to-day pass
judgment on the Australian-ballot system;
that is to say. they will see II In opera
ton here for the first time. and VIII be
able to determine whether 1t Is adapted
to our wants or not.
II defects in details are discovered
these can and will be corrected at the
next meeting Of the General Assembly.
II the system IA found to be wholly un-
suited to the wants OF our people the law
will be repealed. on this point We en-
terrain not the least doubt
In short. the Walton law Is on trial.
We, therefore. hope that every voter VIII
do what he can to see that the expert
ment is we'll made. And every one who
Is charged with the performance Of any
official duty under the law should be par
ticularly careful to discharge that duty
carefully and faithfully.
We trust that there is no Democrat VINO
will refuse to go to the polls because he
Is opposed to the Australian-baliot sys-
tenn. For all that he knows to the con-
trary the system may prove to be an
excellent one for us. At any rate all fair
minded persons must agree that the law
should not be condemned before 1t is
tried.
The DISPATCH was well satisfied with the
old. unamended. and straight-out Ander-
son-McCormick law. and we saw no great
necessity for a change: but there were
others In our party who thought differ
entity. And so the Walton Dill was
adopted in the Democratic caucus aud
was passed by the General Assembly.
We acouiesced in this action. and deter
mined to do what we could to make 1t
a success. Some of those who claimed
credit for the passage OF the law nave
been endeavoring to damn 1t In advance
but we have always stood up In favor
OF giving 1t fair trial.
To-day that trial is to take place. To-
day the people are to examine for them
selves the workings of the system. To-
day they will make up their minds as to
what should be its future In this state.
Such being the case. we urge every good
Democrat 10 go TO the polls and see with
his own eyes how the law operates. II
this be done-if the election officers fol-
low the law In letter and spirit, as we
have every reason to expect that they Will
dove shall soon know whether the Au-
stralian system suits us or can be amend
ed to suit us.
II you have the welfare Of your State
at heart you ought 10 go to the polls
to-day II for no other reason than to
participate in this experiment and to
inform yourself whether the system Is
one which we should cling to or not.
Now, friends. since you are to sit as
Jurors in this case. proceed to perform
your duty promptly.

Grew i'll from the ships rocking mocean
With a sigh and crigh,
And tear In his Ugh,

her woOer.
AS into a passion he throo'er.
But 1t made her heart ache
To have him her ring tache.
And then send his lawyer to 500 'er.

A youth loved maiden named Jeign,
In fight fell the lad,
Which was really too bad,
For his death drove the. maiden inseign.

WHY Vote For the Amendment ?

Up TO few years ago the Justices Of
the peace of this Commonwealth had long
been authorized to try petit larceny and
other minor criminal cases without the
intervention. cost and delay of indict-
ment and trial by jury.
BY the decision of our Supreme Court
of Appeals in the Mary Miller case all
this was changed. The court declared
that a jury must pass upon each such
case. A person charged with stealing
chicken must now be sent on to the grand
jury; he cannot waive jury trial. He may
be perfectly willing TO be tried by the
Justice before whom he Is examined, but
our Supreme Court of Appeals. does not
allow 1t the hands of the justice are tied
he can only send the accused person on
o the grand jury.
In nine cases out Of ten the accused goes
10 Jail in default Of bail and Is there fed
at the public expense until the grand jury
meets. Then all the witnesses against
him go before the grand jury; then he is
indicted; then a petit jury is empanelled
to try him. At every step the Common
the old practice (Which we wish to re-
store) the justice could have given the
culprit ten or fifteen days In Jail and that
would have been an end of the case. Or
should the accused have deemed the sem
tence of the justice unreasonable he could
III a. 10 e;,,,tn ,,rt nd
had trial by jury. Thus the law-as
formerly understood-gave to justices Of
the peace the power to try cases where
the accused was willing TO take the JUS
tees sentence. The number Of appeals
from Justices decisions was not large.
The average offender accepted the Judg-
ment of the Justice go as to have his pun
ishment over all tho sooner.
Those who to-day vote 'for the consti-
tutionai amendment" vote in favor OF re-
turning to our old practice. The amend
ment. which by the concurrence Of two
General Assemblies is submitted to the
people. gives to the General Assembly
power to legisate fully on the subject.
That 1t will restore the law which was
declared invalid by our Supreme Court Of
Appeals there can be no question. SO
those who to-day vote ''for the amend
ment to the Constitution will vote for
reducing our criminal expenses $4,000 per
annum-a reduction especially to be de-
sired in view Of the fact that in the course
of the not distant future our State debt
at least a large part Of twill begin to
bear per cent. interest per annum, in
stead OF 2 per cent. as at present.
Furthermore the amendment is In the in
terest Of the expeditions administration Of
justice and Is a mercy to small offenders,
who haven't means with which to employ
counsel to defend them when they are ar
raigned before Judge and Jury.

Observation-Disclosures.

We have time and again during the
Democrats Of Virginia to beware first OF
apathy or under-confidence, and. secondly,
Of over-confidence. Some Democrats were
so sanguine Of success that we feared
they might fail to do their whole duty.
Over-confidence Is still to be guarded
against. and we would once more repeat
the warning against 1t II W thought that
warning were needed. But apathy or UNI
aer-confidence Is worse than over-conh-
dence when election-day comes, and would
dishearten the greatest army that ever
stood in battle array. "Oh. that night or
Butcher would come" was the despairing
utterance Of the great Napoleon at Wa
terloo. Let no Democratic leader in this
cry-to pray for night to come and save
him from being dcfenceless and hopeless.
Rather let us like Joshua, call for the
sun to stand still and enable US to win the
great battle.
What would have become Of the Demo-
Gratis Of New York II their admired leader.
David B. Hill. had given way to under
confidence and either refused to take COM
mand Of the Democratic forces or had
allowed under-confidence to demoralize
those forces after they had taken the
field. He had thousand difficulties to
overcome from which we In Virginia have
not suffered. Betting and dissatisfaction.

GARFIELD PARK AGAIN.
Its Appropriation Should BE Used for
Permanent Improvements.

To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal;
Your remarks on Garfield Park are SUBJ
stantially correct with reference TO the
manner in which the appropriations are ex-
pended. Why employ a gang OF men to
dress and water flower beds that no one
sees? Your correspondent is Of the opinion
that the making of the lake is the most es-
sential improvement that can be made.
1t will attract people more than anything
that can be done there. Bean creek Is fed
by springs, and there is always fresh run
ming water. Mr.. Fisher and others who
have known the stream many years have
never seen it go dry. 1t is lower this sum-
mer than ever known. When the lake Is
once made and the bed becomes puddled
by sediment IL will require but little water
to supply ii, as there Is a tough clay bot
tom after removing the sand and gravel.
The sooner a dam is made the sooner viii
the bed become permanent. II only "a
temporary dam is made, a nice little lake
could be formed. A few teams with scrap
ers could do the work at a small cost. and
work among the flowers. let them do some
thing that the people want done. When
there are attractions enough 10 induce
in a condition that will permit travel. then
flowers will be in order. The people OF the
South Side, as well as all others; want ito to
may be proud of. Thanks 10 Mayor Denny
for his devotion to this Improvement.
II requires no WORDS 10 onNiiSC ally oho
who has ever visited this place that there
is no ground within the city limits or on Its
borders SO well designed by nature for a
park as this is. Why is IL kept a secret
from our citizens? Why not go See It'll
That is all its friends ask. We have asked
the street-car company so often TO explain
why il is they can run their track four
miles north over Fall creek. through muddy
lanes and narrow highways to reach Fair
view Park and cannot extend their line a
half mile inside the city to reach Garfield
Park. We will not ask again. Fairview Is
beautiful, and we do not wish TO say one
word against any park. All we ask of the
street-car company is 10 be consistent.

for this. because il was right, but ask that

PYTHIAN CONCLAVE CLOSES.
Crispus Attacks Division, of Chicago.
Wins in the Drill.

The colored Pythian conclave closed yes
terday with a street parade and prize
drill at the fair grounds. The parade oc-
CURED at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
and was viewed by a large crowd of peo-
pie of both colors. The procession, escort
ed through the streets by a platoon Of po-
lice, included the Chicago military band
and drum corps, the visiting and local d.
visions of Uniformed knights and the two
colored militia companies from the Third
Regiment. Prominent colored citizens fol-
lowed in carriages. At the fair grounds
the afternoon was spent in listening TO
the band concert and witnessing the evOlu-
tons of the uniformed ranks and military
companies. At 4 o'clock CrispUs Attacks
Division, No. 1, and Chivalric Division. No
2 OF Chicago, contested for the supreme
badge of honor offered as a prize for the
best drilled division. The local division
did not compete. Captains Porter and
Buckner, of the Third Regiment, Indiana
militia, OBLIGATED as judges and awarded
the prize to the Crispus Attacks Division.
After the prize drill the visitors at the
fair grounds were treated TO a balloon
ascension. Last night a large number of
colored people enjoyed a grand ball at the
grounds, music being furnished by the Chi
cago military orchestra Many of the del
egates began leaving last night.
