A Sign OF Promise.

n Slgl Oh 1-FOhifsSs
We are gratiied to find such men as
Bishop Haygood endorsing the fight for
fair elections.
The bishop speaks out IL his terSe and
pointed way against the evils of dis
honest ballot as follows:
Editor Constitution am glad to see The
Constitutions editorials concerning Fair
Elections" If q uniform registration law
Will secure honest voting and honest count
ing, let us have II. If platforms were per-
feet and candidates ideal men, corrupt
elections will corrupt the people and de-
stroy our institutions. Another thing is
true, also. No party can continue to live
that wins by fraud. SO far as l know
the vice under consideration is conjoined
to no party. Let the people demand fair
elections. ATTICUS G. HAYGOOD.
Ems good man declares that corrupt
elections viii corrupt our people and
destroy our institutions, no matter how
perfect our platforms and candidates
may be, ana he rightly says that no
parry that wins by fraud can continue
to live.
We hope that Bishop Haygood's de-
mand for Il pure ballot viii be heard
from every pulpit in the land. Our
itlllSttIo Cttll diI tiltS -tttt ItlOIlii Will
out taking hand in partisan politics.
The success OF this movement means
more stable institutions, more protec-
ton for the rights OF the people and
purer morals, ana we hold it to he the
duty of ministers and good church peO-
pie to resort to every legitimate method
to bring about these results.
II viii make 4 good movement al the
better 10 have the best influences behind
it, Our preachers should say Il word
for an honest ballot whenever they have
a proper opportunity. They are citizens,
and they have just as much interest in
fair elections as anybody else. More
over, it is a distinct gain TO the cause
Of Christian civilization to have an hon
est government maintained by the hon
est suffrages Of an honest people.

proper punishment. We have no OBJ
lection to the whipping post for the
rapist, but it should be followed by the
gallows. When a man commits this
unspeaEable crime he forfeits his life.
There is no room for him anywhere
outside of the grave. 1t would be turn
ing tragedy into Il farce to take care
OF such beast in prison for a few years
and then give him his freedom. His
reformation would not be believed in
by anybody, and his presence i'll a com
munity would cause constant dread.
The only way then To solve the
problem is to kin the rapist, but Kill
him legally. Our courts can be trusted.

Jacketing Guns.

The officers at the Washington navy
yard have decided to return to the old sys-
tenn Of jacketing guns. The recent test Of
the Sellers method has proved somewhat
unsatisfactory. 1t was tried in the case
of an elght-inch nickel steel gun, and
while the jacket was put in place. the op-
Grafton was attended with some difficulty
Under the Sellers plan the jacket is heat
ed in a horizontal furnace and the tube
Is then inserted in it, Hereafter all the
big guns will be assembled in the old way
by heating the jacket III q vertical pit and
then dropping it over the gun tube. The
workmen have become so expert in the
operation under the old system that acct
dents rarely occur, and the officers have
concluded that better results can be OBJ
tanned under 1t than under the Sellers
plan.

HOPE FOR THE INDEPENDENT VOTER,

The independent voter should not be
disconsolate over his opportunities this
Fail. To be sure, the dilemma of n
choice between Boss Plat and Boss
hin might suggest taking to the woods
on election day but there are lot of
other things than Governor to vote for,
and the Independent can, as to them,
without let or hindrance, exercise his
fad for voting as he thinks.
1t will, for instance. he his proud
privilege to cast a vote for Greater New
York He may likewise assist in the
formulation of an irrevocablc decree In
favor of real rapid transit that Will
get him ito Harlem in fifteen minutes
He can issue his paper dictum AS to
whether he wants Il Republican reap
portlonment of the State into legisla-
tive districts. He can weigh and. to the
extent of his vote, determine whether
the State shall spend lot OF money in
improving the canals. He will have an
opportunity to vote railroad passes out
Of the pockets OF public officers. He
may express his electoral opinion upon
the subject of the appropriation Of pub
lie money for secular schools. He can
do his share towards completely over
hauling the judiciary system OF the
State. He will have a vote on the ques-
ton of contract labor in State prisons.
He may help TO abolish Coroners. pool
selling. gamblers and other public evils.
He will be asked to vote whether he
wishes to vote some other day sepa-
rately for city officers. And nearly
score of other important questions will
be submitted to his judgment.
Such general referendum has never
before been known in any State in the
Union. The multiplicity OF the thing
will keep even the ablest Independent
busy on election day-so busy that we
shouldn't wonder II a lot OF them
wouldn't find time to vote for Governor
at all

FRAUDS IN NATURALIZATION.

Judge McAdam has become so disgust
ed with the fraud connected with the
business of obtaining naturalization pa
pers that he refuses to issue any such
papers In the future.
This method of fraud on the ballot-box
has become so common that 1t is believed
very large percentage OF the persons
naturalized every year are not entitled
to citizenship.
The evil Is traceable to the political
organizations Naturalization papers are
applied for largely on the eve of cleo
tons, and the more important the cleo
ton Is to the politicians the greater will
be the rush to the naturalization courts
The persons seeking citizenship do not
feel such an interest in the candidates
as to he eager to have the opportunity
of voting for them. But the heelers OF
the political organizations and bosses set
the mills going and rush every person
whose vote they can obtain into Amer
lean citizenship, whether they are enti-
tied to the privilege or not.
The character of many of those natu-
rallied shows that they are led up to the
courts by others, and are not there of
their own volit:on. \ glance at the
naturalization headquarters. especially
of the Tammany Democracy, is sufficient
to stamp the nature of the business,
But is Judge McAdam's resolve not to
naturalize any person at all justihable?
| If all the judges should reach "A similar
determination, great injustice would be
| inflicted on persons honestly entitled to
claim their citizenship

French bread is divided into two
classes-pain ordinaire and pain richie.
The rich bread Is made into all sorts of
shapes and usually of small size. All
the French bread has a great deal of
crust and comparatively little crumb.
What is called pain Anglaise is found
at nearly all the bakeries. This bread
is baked in square loaves having a great
deal of crumb in proportion to the crust.
Small, round loaves of rye and of gra-
ham bread can be purchased at nearly
all the bakeries. But the bread that is
consumed in the greatest quantity is
the pain ordinaire. This Is baked In
long, round loaves, or In long, fiat ones.
The loaves vary in length from a yard
to a yard and a half. This bread IL
sold by weight, and costs about four
cents a DOund.
