JUDGES. OF ELECTION.

The grand jury for the Fourth dis
ltrict in its report to the court, said,
among other things:
THE grand jury beg leave to bring to
the notice of the court the very care
less and inefficient methods practiced
by the Judges of election in respect to
properly locking and sealing ballot
boxes at the close of the election, and
in regard to their security and safe
keeping after election
There is a just criticisnEin this and
one that should be needed. When great
issues are at stake and the people take
much interest in the result of am cleo,
have an official count of the returns
far more trouble arises from the care,

by judges of election in properly lock.
ing and sealing ballot boxes than from
any other cause. This very careless
ness in one most important matter il
apt to beget carelessness in other i'm
said: Careless in one, careless in all.
And following this there naturally
comes in suspicion when very much
depends on the way an election goes
If ballot boxes are so carelessly sealed,
or left unsealed, that they may be
tempered with without detection it is
almost certain to be said by someone
that they have been tamepered with.
And then suspicion and doubt begin tt,
permeate the entire community.
a very common practice with judges
o1o
sheets to the Secretary of the Com,
mission, is to place the poll book anc
check list in the ballot box, and then
lock and seal it UP. In cases like this
it becomes absolutely necessary to go
into the ballot box to get this book and
list if it is found that the tally sheet
is prima facie incorrect. Even when
ballot boxes are sealed up tight and
the names of the three judges written
across the paper distinctive seals are
not used, but the sealing wax is mere
used for it's adhesive qualities and
nothing else All this is matter Of
common knowledge with those who
have taken any interest in the conduct
of elections at the polls
The question now arises what is the
original source of all this trouble?
And the answer is, in the appointment
of the judges. In the selection of
them the primary consideration is
not that of qualifica ton but of party
service. The Commission cannot from
the very nature of the case know the

said that politics doth make towards

WHO'S TO BLAME.

A great deal has. been said by the
Republican press, lately, about the
financial policy of the country. and the
inference is made that the present adj
p1inistration is in some way to
blame for the unsatisfactory condi-
ton of the national treasury. But one
thing should be borne in mind when
this question is discussed. The present
financial system of the United States
is the product of Republican legislation
and policy.
For nearly third of century the
Republican party has held control of
the affairs of the United States. The
greenback and other paper currency of
the country has been part of the Re-
publican administration of those affairs.
The act of 1873, which stopped the free
coinage of silver and laid the founda-
ton for the artificial and shaky fnan-
cial structure which has been erected.
was the work of the Republican party,
The bonding system, which is now be-
ing denounced, is also part of the pol
icy which Republicanism has fastened
upon the nation. The payment of
treasury notes in gold at the option of
the holder, and the minimum gold re-
serve to be preserved, come from the
same source.
1t must also be remembered that the
present administration cannot make
