THE DEMOCRACY is SAFE.
If Mayor Taylor should Die the
Voter Could Insert "a Name.

The supposition which has prevailed for
several days that ia the event OF the
death of Hon. Richard NJ. Taylor between
now and election day the people of Rich
mond would be compelled, under the ex-
listing election law. TO submit to a negro
Mayor, proves to be groundless.
Captain Taylor himself was a little
uneasy over the imaginary situation in
which the Democracy of his beloved city
was placed. He was observed coming
through Capital Square a few days ago
wearing very solemn countenance, and
when questioned as TO the cause OF his
melancholy appearance, remarked that he
saw no hope for the people of Richmond
If he should suddenly quit this mortal
sphere. He said he had looked into the
law and had ascertained that IL he should
die before the election there was abso-
lutely 10 way in which the Democrats
could put name on the ticket, and Rev.
j. w. Madison (coloredD would surely be
the next Mayor Of Richmond.
His Honor had evidently not read the
act regarding elections entirely through
The 9Th section provides that any
person who intends TO be a candidate for
any office. State or national to be elected
by the people, shall. at least twenty days
before such election. notify the Secretary
Of the Commonwealth In writing. attested
by two witnesses. Of such intention, and
any person intending to be a candidate
for any Office not embraced In the fore
going at any election, shall also give
notice twenty days before such election
to the Clerk OF the County or Hastings
Court Of the county or city. as the case
may be- But the 18th section Of
the law. after STIMULATING how the ballots
shall be scratched goes on 20 say:
Provided. il shall be lawful for any
voter TO erase any or all names printed
upon said official ballot and substitute
therein, in writing, the name OF any per-
son or persons for any office for which he
may desire TO vote"
In other words. while II is now i'm
possible for any names TO be added 70 the
official ballot, any voter can scratch a
ticket, and insert such names as he de-
sires. In the event of the death OF Mayor
Taylor. the Democrats OF the city could
very easily nominate another man, and
every qualified voter who goes 10 the polls
on election-day could vote for such a
nominee by scratching the names or the
other candidates for Mayor and insert the
name OF the person so nominated.

BILE institution. The convict does not
ask for charity, and any ex-convict
retaining one iota Of self-respect will
never apply there. All they ask for is
steady employment; great many
skilled tradesmen are found among
them, and certainly broom factory is
the poorest kind of industry. If the
Civic Federation, which is composed
of representative men of all classes
will endeavor to procure and furnish
situations for the ex-convict instead of
devoting the time and money to any
such chimerical scheme a great deal
of good can be accomplished. Any
plan that proposes to make the ex-
convicts a class distinct and separate
can never be successful.

The Raines bill, which was recently
passed by the legislature of New York,
is being virulently denounced by some
of the leading journals of that state.
After careful perusal of the law any
disinterested person will certainly con-
clude that the bill places the liquor
traffic under strict control, and that
the enforcement of the various sections
will greatly reduce drunkenness. The
bill embodies the best features of the
laws of various other states which
have been found to be practical. 1t
fixes the rate of the excise tax, varying
from $500 in New York city to 500 in
villages of less than twelve hundred
inhabitants, requires a heavy bond as
a guarantee that no gambling will be
permitted in any place where liquor is
sold, provides for local option and has
many other commendable features.
Under its provisions wine-rooms, with
their accompanying evils, will be a
thing of the past, and the days Of the
low groggeries numbered. One of the
papers opposed to the bill says: at
drives large, important and most re-
spectacle element of our tradesmen
out of business" This may be true as
regards the "large and important" but
the day has long since gone by when
the liquor-dealer, or saloon keeper
more especially, is considered the
most respectable element of the bust
ness world. The denunciation the bill
is receiving from the liquor dealers
and certain classes of politicians is it's
best recommendation.

A ROAST.

The PRISON MIRROR, at Saltwater,
has new editor, the successor to
Grimes, of fragrant memory, having
resigned. Whatever were Grimes faults
he made THE MIRROR such a paper as
it had not been before and has not
been since; indeed since his departure
it has been of little value. 1t is to be
hoped the new editor will revivify it..
Nobody knows whether the late editor
has been pardoned or has served his
time. There are these delightful little
uncertainties about THE MIRROR that
make its existence thing of interest,
even if it's local columns are a trife
mild and its discussions are usually
"cOnfined," so to speak.-Exchange Ed
itor, Minneapolis Journal.
1t is not our intention to discuss the
merits or dement's of the men who
have at different times edited The
MIRROR, but the slur contained in the
above on those who had the misfor-
tune to be assigned to editorial duty
on The MIRROR we believe is uncalled
for. They did their duty as best they
could, and if, through lack of proper
education and literary training their
productions were crude and had not
the brilliancys that characterized the
utterances of the Journals favorite.
Grimes, was not that rather their mis-
fortune than fault? But, according to
the Journals exchange editor, THE
MIRROR has been failure all these
years with the exception of about nine
months. 1t is true that some of the
best men in the state have written let
tiers of commentator; the country
press has quoted freely from it's col
umns and spoken kind words of ap-
prevail both before and since Grimes
time, but perhaps they are not as COM
petent to judge as the Journals ex-
change editor. The delicate satire con-
tanned in the allusion to the mildness
of the local columns will, we fear, have
to be borne in silence, for we see no
immediate prospect of anything of a
sensational nature occurring in our
midst. Our discussions" also will be
