HOW THE ALTERNATING WAS DONE.

we print elsewhere the deposition OF
MIR. Writ Dunlap, lawyer. Chairman OIL
The Democratic party for Montgomery
county, and counsel for Major Peter D.
Otey I'm the Hampton Hoge contest lor
Congress. we know nothing of Mr.
Dunlap except what this deposition tells
US 1t discloses the way In when the
plan for the alienation of names on the
Walton ballots was disseminated. and the
results expected from the alterations.
That this plan of procedure, whether I'M
der the law or not. Intentionally violates
the fundamental idea OF a free and iair
election by the qualified voters, will hard
" to be denied: that it is humilating
position for the Democratic party-a par
~ essentially of the people-to occupy, as
author of the law viii be confessed with
grief by all who in no way share in the
spoils TO be gotten by this perverson Of
the right of voters to vote.
The opinion of the Attorney-General
published by The Times yesterday con-
STRUNG the Walton law told us that, in
his view. the alteration of names on
&everal ballots was permissible under the
arfhhf- 11tpo-i<4+-r of Mr. Writ Dunlap
now shows how This construed permits
sion of the Walton law was secretly
and by way of surprise, put into effect.
The substantial facts of the case thus
seem TO have been brought to light, and
IL now remains for the Democratic party
to determine, not merely whether 1t is
justice to the people of the State at large
to administer its power in such way,
but whether such course will not in
evitably destroy the party itself.
1t is, in our opinion. the grossest in
justice to the glorious principles and
record OF the oldest and greatest party
ever evolved from the right of people to
govern themselves to substitute deceitful
tricks for appeals to the conscience and
intelligence OF the people. Such course
is absolutely un-Democratic and no cry
for loyalty to the party allowing such
proceedings can touch the hearts OF those
who are true to Democracy itself. and
not to this ms-shapen distortion of 1t.
The Times is so deeply convinced of the
power of sound principle alone to work
for the lasting good of the people, that,
distressing as IL has been to point out
the errors OF its own party, il has been
In duty bound TO do so, and will con-
tinue to do so as long as such errors
and wrongs exist.
we most earnestly implore our fellow
Democrats TO ''let the dead past bury its
dead" and to resolve that the future con-
duct OF our party shall be along The
lines OF honesty. truth. manliness, and
faith in the people themselves.

PAssLAws TO PROTECT FOREIGNERS.

The Congress of the United States mas
persistenily failed TO legislate upon

ment from it. and is liable, without suit
able legislation. to get us into very Sc
rious brawls With foreign countries. be-
sides interrupting those cordial relations
with all other countries which IL is the
Interest and the wish of The American
people to keep up at all times. We have
treaties with all foreign powers, and We
agree in those treaties that the citizens
OF those foreign powers sojourning In
this country shall receive fair and just
treatment while here. The Constitution
confers upon Congress the power to pass
all such laws as are necessary To secure
observance CT the treaties and laws OF
tho United States, and IL established the
judiciary OF the United States TO make
such acts of Congress effectual. Congress.
therefore. is clothed with full power under
the Constitution TO enact and enforce, in
any part Of the United States. whatever
legislation is necessary 10 secure TO for
eigners sojourning in any OF the States
that fair and just treatment which this
Government has agreed in its treaties

A POSSIBLE MISFORTUNE TO MAN.
KIND.

The destruction of the workshop or the
electrician. Tesla, may be a misfortune to
mankind. The results which mis- expert
ments with electricity have already Sc
cured arc of the most startling char
acter. and connected with the hints that
he has thrown out from time To time
gave good reason for expectation that he
was very soon to announce discoveries
that would have the most serious and
important influence upon the daily life of
man. There is great reason TO fear that
this destruction of everything that he
had prepared and relied on for the fur
therance of his investigations may end
them entirely. His friends fear the
disaster may result Ia his total physi
cal collapse The man is so constituted
that he cannot pursue his Investigations
with a due and reasonable regard for
his own health, but he must. prcforce, sur
render himself totally to his passion and
he has almost made a wreck of HIM
self. He has made the following pathet-
&c statement Of his condition:
81 am completely worn out, in fact,
and yet | cannot stop my work. These
experiments Of mine are so beautiful, so
fascinating so important, that ! can
hardly tear myself away from them 10
eat. and wien / try to sleep | think about
them constantly. | expect | shall so on
until | break down altogether
The total destruction of his laboratory,
with all his clues and half-finished eX-
periments ana instrumentalities for IN
vestisations will be a terrible blow to a
man in this state, and one from which
il will be difficult for him to rally If
science is TO lose Mr.. Tesla mankind
may suffer an 'rreparable loss
A dispatch from New York represents
Tesla as saving since the fire:
II am in too much grief to talk. What
can | say? The work of half my life
time, very nearly all my mechanical in
struments and scientific apparatus, that
IL has taken years % perfect, swept
away i'm a fire that lasted only an hour
or two. How can / estimate the loss in
mere dollars and cents? Everything is
gone. / must begin over again?
II also speaks of his present condition
in the following terms:
His strength was overtaXed by the
strains placed upon it, For weeks those
who knew him knew that he was Dor
dering on a state of nervous exhaustion,
vet so firm was his will that few would
have suspected how worn he was with
toll.
When the fire took away that which
sustained him in spite of his exhaustion
the iron will was broken, ana Nicola
Tesla became as other men whom work
and care have worn The man who had
in the course of one of his experiments
withstood, under peculiar conditions the
polyphase currents of electricity to thous-
ands of volts is lying on his bed, clasp
ing his nerveless hands and speaking no
word.
