PURIFY THE BALLOT.

/
One would think that the recent
events in this city, connected with
| the alleged ballot box frauds in
this city last November, would
have taught the interested in cleo
ton matters little caution il not
a sense OF political decency. But
this seems to be more than is to be
hoped for. The recent petition
that is before the May or and the
City Council demonstrates this.
That petition calls for the appoint
ment, as judges of the municipal
election that is to occur next Mon
day, Of the very men who stand
indicted for the frauds of less than
three months ago. This is ballot
box reform with vengeance.
This is improvement in elections
with the bark on. This shows
how deep the lesson that it is
attempted to teach the ballot box
manipulators has gone down.
1t shows these men utterly
void OF all sense OF political de-
cency, absolutely without any
sense of personal responsibility
in their political acts. The mon
who have thus petitioned have out
ragged the common sense Of the
voters of this city, poured contempt
on the court proceedings through
wnich it has been attempted to re-
strain from corruption Of the bal
lot, thrown the gauntlet Of defiance
in the face Of the grand jury that
brought in the indictments, and
have given the voters of this city
to understand that the man Of bus
mess and probity has no political
rights that the ward and city boss
es are bound to respect. 1t remains
to be seen how far the efforts Of
these men to thus override the
sense of the citizen, who is not in
the ring, will avail. The council
that would accede to such request
is not worth tho confidence that is
reposed in it. If the Mayor and
City Council of San Antonio do not
rebuke this high-handed disregard
of all that concerns the good name of
the city and the rights of her voters,
then in what quarter shall we look
for such rebuke? Ifthese things are
done in the light Of day what is ito
be expected under cover of night?
If this is the measure Of ballot box
reform that is considered the thing
in the light OF an open council ses-
sion, what measure OF it shall we
look for in the secret conclaves of
the party that puts such men out
as their candidates for judges of
election? Does it not seem that
these men are so selected as judges
of this approaching election large
ly il not solely on account Of their
success in corrupting the election
of last November and preventing
the expression Of the will OF the
people at the ballot box. Certain
ly it looks that way to a man up
in an atmosphere pure enough to
see clearly, and 1t also looks as
though the time had come for the
City Council to set the seal OF it's
damnation on this and on every at
tempt to monkey with the ballot
boxes on Monday next. The citi-
liens Of San Antonio expect this at
their hands, and they have right
to have that expectation honestly
met.

There is nothing more certain to
the clear observation OF the pres
ent than that the great deeps of the
political waters are breaking up.
The coherency OF party has been
practically broken, as to a coher-
ency Of name only, and politicians
are seeking utilization with the
men Of their own political idias,
regardless Of any party name.
This is an immence advance along
the lines Of a true political pro-
gress and indicates a better class
Of legislation in the future. Men
will not stand for party so much
as for declared principle and the
issue Of questions will not be
determined by the strength or
weakness Of the party introduce
ing them, but by the weakness or
strength Of the measure itself in
the minds Of the members of the
Legislature considering it.

What this country needs, as bad
ly as the mother Of the present
needs to restore the old slipper re-
gime, is a return to simpler style
of living. The prompt payment Of
debts and the living within ones
income will do more to help the re-
turn to prosperous times than any
one thing. The people live too fast,
spend too fast, and pay too slow.
This is one of the great causes OF
financial tightness. The little fish
in the financial pools think that
they need as much water as the
whales in the ocean. They do not
think that the bigger their sea the
more numerous their dangers.

CAPT. CROMwELL's REPORT.
He Tells Secretary Herbert How the
Warships Were Received Here.

President d. G.. Purse of the board CT
trade has received from the Secretary
of the Navy a copy of the report made
to the department by Capt. Cromwell of
the United States steamship Atlanta upon
the visit of the warships TO Savannah
during May week
Capt Cromwell's report mentions The
part taken by the crews of the warships
in the military parade and the courte-
sizes extended to the officers of the ships
during their stay here, of which he speaks
in the most pleasant manner.
He makes no mention in this report of
the fact of the vessels anchoring at Fort
Oglethorpe. AS this report was dated
May IS, before the vessels left Savannah,
it is likely that Capt. Cromwell will make
later report to the department. giving
officially his views as TO the depth Ct
water in the channel and the opportuni-
ties for vessels to lie at anchor.
Capt. Purse has written the Secretary
Of the Navy requesting that if such a
report be made that he be furnished a
copy Of it.

CLERKS FOR $50 CLOSING.
The Retail Dry Goods and Millinery
Stores Favor 1t.

The dry goods clerks have nearly sue
ceeded in their effort to have the dry goods
and millinery stores close at 6:3O o'clock
in the afternoon except on Saturdays
during the summer and the change will
probably go into effect this week.
Practically all of the leading dealers in
these lines have signed the agreement to
close at $50 o'clock. One or two are hold
ing out and threatening to block the move
ment They are expected to come in this
week however. A list of those signing tho
agreement Will he published.
The merchants who manifest a liberal
spirit toward their employees should be
encouraged by the public. There is very
little business transacted during the long
afternoons now, and all the business. can
be transacted before $50 o clock or earlier
for that matter.

LOCKED UP FOR DIPUDENcE.
Recorder Wilson Gives "A Lesson in
Conduct in Police Court.

Recorder Wilson had a lively crowd in
court yesterday morning. Mike Cody.
Tom Mccarthy and John Burns were ar
rested early in the morning by Pc
Ecemen Malphus and Fleming. They
attended the inquest held at the barracks
Friday night and did not leave there IN
til about O'Clock.
The party walked down to East Broad
and Broughton streets. Some of them
had been drinking and decided to sta3
UP until the barrcoms opened. as it was
too late to 90 to bed, anyway. They
were creating considerable noise when Po-
liceman Malphus came up and told them
to move on.
Instead of doing so they cursed the po-
liceman and threatened him. He prompt
~ arrested three of them and took them
TO the nearest police telephone box. The
rest Of the crowd followed and things
looked squally for Malphus when Police
man Fleming came up. He caught Burns
drawing a pis0l and when the latter
arrived at the barracks a charge of carry
ing concealed weapons was entered against
him, as well as that of disOrderiy con-
dust, which was entered against Cody
and Mccarthy also.
All three were fined s. on the charge
of disorderly conduct by the recorder,
who also ordered the arrest of two other
members of the party. Cody was very
impertinent to the recorder, and when
cautioned as to his language replied N
a very disrespectful manner. Reproos
being without effect. he was twice SEN
fenced to five hours Imprisonment for
contempt. He served out his ten
hours. Burns was turned over to .he
city court on the charge of carrying con-
cealed weapons

MASTERS a GOOD WAY OFF,
Some Doubt About His Being
Brought Back 10 Savannah.

10 savannah.
There is some doubt whether J. W. Mas
tiers. the dsfauiting agent Of the Interna-
tional Migration Society. will be brought
back TO Savannah for trial.
Chief McDermOtt received a telegram
yesterday from President Funimer of the
Migration Society at Birmingham. Ala,
saying that he would pay the reward Of
500 offered for Masters arrest upon the
delivery Of Masters in Savannah. Presi-
dent Flummer said that ne had written
letter to Chief McDermott giving further
instructions. The letter will probably ar
rive to-day.
Last night Chief McDermott received the
following telegram from Chief of Police
Brenning at San Diego Cal. where Mas
tiers is under arrest:
Masters in custody. Must have more
Information 10 hold him for examination.
Wire Immediately. naming one person
whom ne swindled, amount obtained from
such person, date of crime, name of coun-
ty Send officer with certified copy OF com
plant Immediately. Examination set for
Thursday, 10 o'clock" Signed j. W. Bren-
ming, chief of police
Chief McDermott will sec Solicitor Gener-
al Fraser this morning, get the desired in
formation, and wire il to Chief Brenning
at San Diego. To get Masters back to Sa-
vannah is no small matter. Railroad fare
alone will be a considerable expense, and
besides it would be a ticklish job for one
man to undertake travelling night and day
with a shrewd prisoner to look after. who
knows that he is morally certain Of several
years in the pententiary If he gets back
to Savannah.
Chief McDermott thinks that If President
Fummer of the Migration society Is very
anxious to have Masters brought back for
trial that he will be willing 10 pay the eX-
pense of bringing him here. Masters crime
is a state offense and it is not incumbent
upon the city TO go to any expense TO bring
him back. Chief McDermOtt thinks that
he has done his part in locating and secur-
ing Masters arrest.
County Detective Morgan saw Chairman
Dale of the county commissioners last
night in reference TO having Masters
brought back. Mr. Dale said he was OPP
posed to the county going to any such eX-
pense as would be necessary to bring Mas
ters back. However. he said that if So
licitor General Fraser would address an
official communication on the subject to
him he would call a meeting of the board
tomorrow afternoon. and lay the matter
before the commissioners for whatever ao-
ton they saw fit to take.

WHAT 1T MEANS.
The EARLY Visits of Ladies' to the
City Market.

Careful observation around the city
market will show any one the different
modes of conducting business. 1t is not
proper, of course. to reflect upon the
methods of others-but the observer can
readily see the difference There's a right
and acceptable way, and there's other
ways.
To see the crowd of healthful-looking la
dies standing before Logan's establish
ment, early every morning means much.
1t means that they know and appreci-
ate good things when they see them.
It means that they appreciate the excel
lent qualities of meats and fresh vege-
tables and fruits which Logan serves
them with.
1t means that they are pleased with the
service of Logan's experienced and ac-
cOmmodating assistants.
1t means that they are satisfied that
everything they buy is fresh. because his
relrigerators are perfect.
1t means that they are satisfied that,
when an order is left they can go shopping
or make a social call and return home to
md their dinner promptly delivered to
the cook.
1t means that satisfaction goes with
everything that comes from Logan Sad.

TO DISCUSS THE MONEY ISSUE.
A Meeting Called 10 Invite Congress-
man Patterson.

mum
A meeting will be held at the City Elk
change tomorrow at II o'clock to arrange
for an invitation to Hon. Josiah Patter-
son to speak in Savannah on the
money question.
Those who heard or read his speech
before the recent sound money convention
at Memphis We're deeply impressed with
it. The Savannah delegates have been
considering the matter of inviting Mr..
Patterson here. A card was sent out yes
terday by Col. w. w. Gordon, Capt. S. c.
Ellis and Mr.. ]. S. Collins, the delegates
to the Memphis convention for a meeting.
In it they say:
1--WE believe that an address by the Hon.
Josiah Patterson to the citizens of Savan-
nah would aid all of us in making up
our minds as to the question OF the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of Is to L."
and we respectfully ask you to attend a
meeting of citizens in the Long Room of
the City Exchange at u o'clock NJ. Mon
day, June 10, 10 consider the question
of extending an invitation to the Hon
Josiah Patterson to deliver an address
to the citizens of Savannah on this topic
at his early convenience"
The delegation feels assured that Mr.
Patterson would come to Savannah, and
they are equally assured that he would
clear away the fallacies that TO many
people surround the money question
