The circumstances under which the An
dtrson- Mccormick election law was pass
ed. more than ten years ago. We're srf-
rcicut 70 inform every thoughtful man
that IT was intended to be a measure by
which the Democratic party could retain
control Of the State Of Virginia without
regsrd 10 the votes cast in elections. As
soon az # went into operation charges
teCan 10 be made that IL was admins
tered so az TO give the Democrats ma
jCrities at places where the Republicans
received tho maiorities. and these charges
Increased In volume and persstency until
the whole State knew that they were
made. and until all self-respecting men
were compelled 20 pay attention TO them.
More than eighteen months ago The
Times beca1ne convinced that the charges
were woll-founded. and Il called upon its
party TO amend the law so az 20 end the
scandal. II was met by a storm Of denial
md abuse from certain kind OF news
papers and tho great body OF the poll
ticians These dcnials and this abuse were
so persistent and so virulent that The
Times proceeded 10 uncover Smither's pre-
clnct and show TO the world the seething
caldron OF rottenness that lay there under
the shelter Of tho Andcrson-McCormick
law.
This exposure was too much for even
the brazen-faced men who had iinpu-
IDENTIFY tried 10 suppress the truth, and
they were driven 90 making a change In
the law. But wha, was that change? IL
vas the grating OF an amendment upon
the Anderson-McCormic law. which

more certain. and next 10 impossible TO
DC discovered. And this is Nirginias
iaw to-day and thus she IS held up he
fore the world as encouraging her citi-
zens 20 cheat and steal by her own ex-
ample
Now, we have made this recital OF the
Noll-known facts OF this case 10 make
IT the foundation OF the following ques-
ton: How does 10 come that with this
state OF facts existing before every mans
eyes we hear next 10 nothing from the
Clergy OF Virginia in denunciatlon Of IL.
and in counsel and advice to the people
10 turn their backs upon II az condi-

while crime that Is as IN
famous in morals as any denounced In
the Decalogue. and that must degrade cit
izenship and pull down the Church as
well as the State. is allowed 10 go on
unchecked. How can any minister OF the
Gospel who knows the facts find
countenance for such treatment OF
this case in any OF the com
mandments OF our Lord and Master?
Wow can he fan 20 find. In every word OF

CIV ."-Richmond Times
Practical Democracy IS nothing but
what its adhoronts make Il, and II what
they do and the manner of their doing
are both bad. the party itself is bad.

But we again ask, What is practical
Democracy? If IT means the practice OF
Democratic principles, W. can UNDER
stand and approve 80; but II 1t means do
ing nothing but what IS bad, both in
principle and I'm the manner OF doing IT,
so that the Democratic party becomes
bad. then The Richmond Times utterly
rejects and rcssnts any such practical
Democracy. even though it thus offends
those who differ with 81.

A STRIKE OUTCOME.

FERGUS FALLS, April 12.--In the United
States Court Grant Mason of Barnesville
was tried yesterday for obstructing the
mails during the Great Northern strike
last April. The testimony was brief
and the jury found him guilty.
His conviction was followed by
the conspiracy case against seven
GAINESVILLE men, and during its
progress the defendants agreed to plead
guilty to obstructing the mails. The
conspiracy case was then stopped and
Mason, James 4. Knowles, Robert Nelson,
Thomas Pender, Fred IL. Atkins, Charles
Millieux and Fred Rath pleaded guilty.
Judge Nelson said that the offense had
been committed during a time of great
excitement, and II the employees had just
grievances against corporations and other
employers that they had a right to or
ganize to advance their own interests, but
at the same time they could not
trapgress, with impunity, the laws that
Congress had passed for the protection OF
all He had no doubt that they regretted
their conduct and he would therefore i'm
p"'S ~ INV "Poh 'hNhii hishcau VI ecuuins
them TO Jail. The fine was fised at Si00
each.
The st. Cloud men, l.. ID. Foster, Paul
Beaudreau and William Borham, retired
for consultation with their attorney, as
the case for Fostsr was to come TO trial
next for conspiracy. 1t was apparent that
he would be convicted and they decided
to plead guilty to obstructing the mails.
The st. Clouo men were committed to
the jail IN default of the payment OF their
fine.
These convictions are the first that ever
occurred in Minnesota for obstructing
the mails.

EAST PROVIDENCE.

There is much indignation manifested
by many of the towns people over the APP
pointments which were made last Tues
day by the Town Council, more especially
because officer Wilcox was dropped and
his place filled by man who Is said to be
unable to perform the duties nearly as
well. Some years ago the same man was
13 days when he resigned. Mr.. Wilcox
has served as patrolman seven years and
one year as chief.
Other changes which are making con-
siderable talk are those of town sergeant
and solicitor. The latter resigned from
the school committee Just previous to his
appointment as solicitor, and some people
intimate "cut and dried" job.
There is much conjecture as to who will
be the lucky man TO fill the vacancy on
the school committee. Several names
have been mentioned, but who will be
recommended is not known.
