TIIr MOST DANGEROUS REYOLIION-
IsT OF THEM ALI.

The speech made by John l.. Altgeld
last Saturday night IN New York city.
the important part OF which We repro
ouce elsewhere from the New York sun,
proves him 10 be the ahlest and the
most dangerous OF the leaders of the
new social revolution. The sDcochs
danger lies in It's skillful warping OF
the most cherished institutions OF the
people into authority for the Damn
able doctrines that he breaches, and the
New York sun well said OF 1t that II
was "somhrc. menacing. and defiant The
general scheme OF the speech was this:
our institutions all rest. said he. upon
tho foundation idea that tho citizen who
IS alleged TO violate law. whether civilly
or criminaily shall have the right 10
be tried for the alleged violation before
a jury Ia his own ncighborhood, whore
he can have The aid and assistance OF his
friends and acquaintance and where,
when he Is a poor man, he viii he able
10 secure the attendance OF the wit
ncsses that can prove that ne should
not be punished. This Is the cardinal
principle Of our institutions. ana this
principle IS absolutely essential TO the
poor man as his safeguard against
wrong and oppression. But. said he. In
recent times a practice has grown up

WHAT LESSON IT TEACHES

WHAT LESSON III 1th'"H''
The disclosures which have been maze
of Registrar Syrcle's dissraceful attempts
to eyade the performance OF his duty ana
thus prevent more than one hundred
voters from exercising their right OF sun
rage in the coming election, furnishes
a striking example OF the degradation OF
our institutions that have been brought
about by the preaching and practice Oh
chicanery. trickery and fraud that mas
been so long put out by machine poi'-
ticians-applaude by certain newspapers
and acquiesced in. IL not positively APP
proved, by some OF our people who shouiu
scorn all such ideas and put their stump
upon them wherever they appear
When this man made engagement after
engagement TO be at his place OF residence
to register these voters he had no idea
OF keeping the engagements. His purpose
was TO keep faith with the ear and break
il TO the hope. lie intended to put the
appllcants off with fair words. and then
10 come forward with plausible excuses
for having failed TO appear. His conduct
was most disgraceful. but 1t sheds a
food of light upon the spirit OF trickery
and fraud which has been woven INTO
election procedure in Virginia
The most melancholy part Of the whole
proceeding was the action Of the Hen
rico Electoral Board. with fun 9ower
to act in the premises, and to remove the
Objectionable registrar. and with ful
knowledge Of the law, they refused even
to hear testimony in the case. and dis
missed the petition which had been pre-
scented.
If this had happened in Turkey or
under a military government men living
under the reign of law would have
thanked God that they were spared any
such arbitrary and interruptions action.
But this thing has happend right here,
at the Capitol of Virginia. and has been
ordered by our own fellow-citizens, who
have sworn to discharge their duty in
office.
To what abyss this disregard Of SOL
emn duty and the rights of others Will
lead US no man can predict. Can life,
liberty. or property be safe where men
will not even hear the cause before they
decide it?
We had confidently expected proper
action by the Electoral Board, and frank
" confess that We are not only disap-
pointed and shocked, but deeply concern
ed by such an exhibition of ultra-par-
tisanship.
1t was assumed. as mat
ter OF course. that the Elec-
toral Board would either compel
the registrar to do his duty or would
remove him and put another registrar
in his place who would register the voters.
But the Board simply refused 10 do any
thing. and thus left this scandal TO blot
the name of Hcnrico and Virginia with
disgrace. Its plea that the man had no
appeal from their action was simply frivo-
lous Surely the poison has sunk deep
and spread wide through OR body polite
when an electoral board with such a.
| state Of facts darcs to face public opinion.
The case should Dee followed mp 10y
every process known to the liw ia order
that the public may learn whether the
election laws of Virginia arc Of any
force or effect az all or not.

1t has always been the custom for po-
litical parties in Virginia to have ballot
holders or tally keepers al the polls to
take the statement Of voters in casting
their votes Of the way they voted, II
they chose to disclose the fact. There IS
not the least obligation upon any one
TO disclose his vote. 1t is purely volnn-
torv. Because the sound-money men
and the Republicans contemplate fol-
lowing this course in the coming election
the Richmond Dispatch rises mp In wrath

mont how their employees vote.
The Dispatch decc7ves no one by this
The employees Of corporations vote in the
cities while these precautions are to be
taken chiefly in respect to country dis
tricts. This talk about coercion o.
omplovcs is a mere blind. The effect OF
what the Dispatch says is to incite peo-
pie in the country to use violence In try
ing to drive tally keepers away from the
polls so that a set OF corrupt election Of
ficcrs may have 10 check upon tnem-
selves in fillins the ballot-boNes with as
many spurious ballots as they desire.

stand firmly upon this right and retuse
to have 1t taken away from them.

The National Committee OF the Chicago
party has issued warning to its vot-
ers against corporations, which, 1t alleges
VIII attempt TO coerce them against vot-
ing their convictions. The warning
concludes as follows:
"rhe National Committee, backed by
the full power Of the Democratic organl-
zation in every State Of the Union, pledges
itself that every scoundreL whether pub
lie officer or private citizen, who Is de-
tccted IN any violation OF the law shall
be vigorously prosecuted, and sent to the
penitentiary, if possible.
That's good. If the National Commit
tee will only see 10 it that the law in
Virginia is rleldly enforced against the
"scoundrols' who attempt TO coerce vot-
ors. the "scoundrels" who stun ballot
boxes. and all other "scoundrels' who IN
any WY violate the election law by pre-
venting a perfectly free election and
perfectly fair count. The Times prom
ises FOR itself and for all members Of
the National Democratic party 10 give
