did. That is great consolation to

A Change for Toftey & Co.

-Four wears ago a Democratic Sheriff
drew n Grand Jury with q. Democratic
foreman ana a majority of Democratic
members. who took hold of certain vio-
lators of the election law and indicted
them wholesale. Then a Democratic
Prosecutor and a Democratic Judge per-
secuted and punished them with uncom-
promising severity.
Now it is to be seen whether the Re
publicans will do likewise. Whether the
vague rumors of fraud now current ma
terialize or not, there has certainly been
the most serious malfeasance among
election officers in the contest of Tues
day. Returns have been signed in blank
and other s~candalous if not corrupt
things have been done.
The Grand Jury should take these
things up. Not only fraud but negli-
gence and laxity> should be punished.
Elections can hardly be made clean
enough with the most rigid observance
of all legal forms, and disregard of he
requirements not only of the statutes
but of common sense cannot be regarded
as venial in men who are sworn to do
their duty. Let us have some more
election trials.

EPOCH TN CHURCH HISTORY.
Simpson Methodist ChuFeia HAS "a
SEmday School Convention.

At Simpson NJ. e. Church, Central
avenue, last evening n Sunday School
Convention was held. A large number
of scholars and teachers was present.
The Rev. D. Halleron, pastor of the
church., delivered a short address, and
was followed by, the Rev. Chapman
Jones, D. D., of P%ittsburg. Pa. In speak
ing Of the necessity of Sunday Schools
Mr. Jones said he believed that no event
was SO marked in the history of the
Christian church a the beginning of
the Sunday Schools, He spoke of the
marvellous ,gqod work they had done,
but said the effect on the State was
not as expected. IT the Sunday schools
had Conquered the State, Mr.. Jones be-
lieved, the, ration Of 1894 would not be
in need of a Parkhurst to drive out the
evils.
Notwithstanding the stupendous work
of the churchpi Mr. Jones said, there
were many corrupt things among us.
The work the church and Sunday school
had done had been enormous, and he
hoped it would multiply. The Sunday
school had made a magnificent record,
but in converting children 1t has only
commenced. Mr.. Jones ended by saying
thai it was the duty of the parents to
encourage the children and young peo-
pie to attend Sunday school. The Rev.
j. n. Freeman, D. D., also CAV an
interesting talk.

A Political Conspiracy.

The Republicans tell us that their sue
cess last Tuesday has caused a general
revival of business and increase of
wages. If this is so, it shows how abso-
lute!y blind and foolish was the impulse
which led TO that triumph. Anyone with
his five senses can see that the political
revolution can have no effect near or re-
mote on economic matters. The present
Corgress-the Democratic one-wi re-
convene in December and will sit until
March 4. 1t can do as it thinks best with
the tariff until then. The new Congress,
the Republican one. will not meet until
December, 1895. This in itself is enough
to show how little the results of last
Tuesday can affect business.
But even when the new Congress
meets. what can it do? It will have two
thirds of the house, it is true; but a bare
majority of three or four votes in the
Senate. It will not be able to pass any
bill over Cleveland's veto, and Cleveland
Will remain III OtiAC oAe
1897. That the veto will be ~interposed
against any return to McKinleyism is a
matter of certainty. So what is to
come of the revolution ?
The HERALD of this morning gives a
number of cases in which wages which
were cut after the passage of the tariff
bill have just been restored. In.every case
the 'sbosses" are notorious Republican and
protectionist extremists like Messrs. Sea-
bury & Johnson. the chemical men, and
the Clarks, of Thread Works fame. The
Herald" intimates that the proof is
ample of a huge political conspiracy to
defeat the Democracy by artificial de-
preston of business and wages. We have
all along said so, and the premature ac-
ton Of the conspirators in starting a
boom the moment their point was made,
must settle the question in the mind Of
every fair observer.
