LET THERE BE NO FRAUD.

Proceedingsinprogress before Gov Brown,
looking to n publication of elections in
Maryland By exposure of shady methods
OF supervisors, inspectors and Judges, and
by the removal of corrupt officials, will
almost unQucstionably result in a better
condition OF things. Evidence that can
hardly be questioned shows that the super
visors have manipulated their office to
appoint creatures of a combine which has
not been free from a suspicion of the use
of INSCRIPTIONS methods. Both Democrats
and Republicans on the election boards
have been selected upon the theory that the
way TO success is to succeed, no matter what
machinery is employed.
The revolt gainst what is called boss ism,
this year than ever before Among the
protestants there is great lack Of organ
ization, but the grouDdwork for a real revo-
luton is there, nevertheless and they who
are not immediate factors in the fight would
ike to see a fair field and no favors. II
Senator German and his associates, with
their fine organization, the State offices
In their control, employees in the service of
the General Government working like beav-
ers more or less openly, and President Cleve-
land apparently keeping hands off, cannot
win without resorting to corrupt and Grim
inal practices, they ought to go down.
By all means, in this battle royal, which
Is attracting the attention OF the whole
country, let the fighting be fair and open
and inviting the closest scrutiny of that
impartial referee, the honest public.

THE TRIAL OF THE BEEF TRUST.

Should the attempt of the Attorney Gen.
eral to prosecute the beef trust prove a
failure there is but one resort left to
protect the public from its ncroachments,
and that is the abolition of the 90 per cent
tariff on fresh meats. 1t has long since been
demonstrated that farmers are not in the
least benefited 10y the high prices OF the
trust. and that they are Systematically
robbed by organized conspiracies to keep
down prices. There is then no good
sense in maintaining the tariff if farmers
are not benefited, especially since il af-
fords the trust opportunity to plunder the
general public.
Australian fresh meats are rapidly de-
strcying the beef trust trade in England
and the same result would follow here
We're the tariff removed, unless the trust re-
duced its prices to meet competition. The
20 per cent tariff practically prohibits
Australian and South American meat
products and licsuses the trust to advance
its prices to hatsxSept. Any tariff that
licenses monopoly krease prices is
detriment to public goody&and if an anti
tariff ffcannot be made effective indestroying
trusts then the cause of their existence,
the tariff, should be removed.
The public will watch the Government
prosecution of the beef trust with consid-
erable anxiety. Secretary Morton has been
active in furnishing the necessary evidence,
and if the Attorney General will do his duty
the antitrust law will at least be given a
fpsf nf off ba
this measure as destroyer Of monopoly is
known the better it will be for the public.
Should it prove a failure. then we must have
a Congress that will abolish the tariff

TIE whipping Post.

The grand jury of the District of Co
lumbia has recommended that the whipping
post be adopted as a mode for Furnishing
persons guilty of wife-beating and petty
larceny, and Judge Bradley, to whom the
recommendation was made. expressed the
opinion that it was a very efficacious
method of punishment for small crimes, and
would tend to discourage them.
The idea of putting wife-beating into the
same category of offenses as petty lar
ceny may strike some people as remarkable
and they may say of wife-bcaters as
Emilia said of scandal-mongers: ''Oh! that
heaven would put i'll every honest hand a
whip to lash the rascals naked through the
world"
1t is not, however, the province of the
courts, but of Congress. to say what shah
be the nature of punishment for crimes in
the District of Columbia, and so
the grand jury will probably see to it that
a bill is introduced in Congress for the es-
of the whipping post. This
is the punishment for wife-bcating in Mary
land, and for various offenses in Della
ware, and it was sought to be revived in
New York last winter, but failed i'll TIE

ENFORCE THE ORDER.

Now that it has been finally decided by
the Commissioners that the garbage crema.
tory shall be situated at the foot Of South
Capitol street, it is hoped an order will be
enforced that drivers of the contractors
carts shall keep the lids of these travelling
hotbeds of bacilli closed as far as that is
possible.
1t is related as a matter of ancient his
tory that an order of this character lies
comfortably cmbalmed in the sarcophagus
of dead local statutes in the elegant apart
ments of the Commissioners. If so, let it
be resurrectcd. If not, let such law be
drafted at once.
Constant complaint is made in regard
to these drivers that they pass from one
place to another, in making their rounds,
with the lids of the receptaclcs wide open,
their fever-provoking eXhalations poison
ing the air and inducing general use of
smelling salts.
or course it is asking an additional task
of the hard-worked and poorly paid men
who engage from their necessities in this
distastcful work, but a more rigid OBJ
seryance of the duty they owe 10 the com
munity, in the interests of health and com
fort, is imperatively demanded.
Now that the collection and destruction
of the city's garbage are entering upon a
new era, the honorable Commissioners, so
earnest in some directions and So indirfer-
ent in others, should issue a Median law
to govern the manipuiators of the carts
and direct the police to see 10 its absolute
enforcement.

THE UNsPEAkABLE TURK.

The more or less sublime Porte embodied
in the Sultan, and the last grand vizier,
who still has his head upon his shoulders,
Is just now plunged into trouble which may
lead to its virtual deposition. Either con
troll of Turkey, by International commits
sion, or by the greater extreme of a
partition of the territory, seems to be an
almost inevitable outcome OF the persecution
of the Armenians.
bcspite all promises of protection and
punishment of offenders, sacking of Ar
menian villages and horrible maltreatment
and butehery of men, women and children
continue. The right of petition is denied.
Complaint is treated with contempt. Dele
cations of Amenians seeking an audience
from the Sultan and grand vizier, have had
the palace doors shut in their faces, and
have been set upon by fanatical Turks and
brutal Turkish officials, and massacred
In The streets OF Constantinople.
There is hope and prospect that out of
this Will come speedy determination of
the great European powers to take Turkey
by the throat The dog OF war nd persecu-
ton based on religious fapaticism is past.
No country is longer the arbiter of its own
affairs. Quick transportation, commercial
enterprise, humane Inspiration, the higher
development OF ideals, have led to q dis
persion of race and national creed. Each
great nation has an interest in its citizen
ship outside of its own boundaries, and
must. therefore, mix into affairs of other
peoples.
International alliances are the order of
the time, and International alliance is the
pedestal of actual confederation. The ten
dency of the greater powers to absorb the
less is in strict accord with the mysterious
evolution OF natures forces. Marvellous
speed In transportation and communication
Is fastening this process of Concentration. II
