IMPLICIT THE PUNISHMENT.

1t appears that a committee in Min
neapolis has been at work since the
holding of the recent primary elections
of the two parties comparing their
separate voting lists It appears. fur
Their, that a large number OF duplica-
tons has been discovered. The no.
htfcal manager does not readily relin-
quish his ancient habit of overcoming
hostile majority in his own party at
the primaries by enlisting sufficient
number of supporters from the other.
That was the way in which the prii-
maries were conducted in the good old
days before ballot reform had engaged
the attention of the law. It is also
shown by this work that IL
is to a considerable extent the
bad new way, as well. But
the time has come to put sharp and
peremptory stop to it. We have mo
doubt that the same state Of affairs
that seems to have been brought to
light in Minneapolis could be shown to
exist in other large cities where there
was close or exciting contest. The
ease with which primaries can be car
ried where the balloting is by the old
method and not under the Australian
system is great temptation to a man
with sufficient stake in securing a
nomination or control of con-
vention. Undoubtedly Republicans
have voted at Democratic primaries
and Democrats at Republican pri-
maries, and, to that extent. the free
expression Of popular and party will
has been interfered with
Perhaps the schemers who are be-
hind these little performances have
not reflected that they have now be-
come more dangerous than heretofore.
AT the last session Of the legislature an
act relating to primary elections was
passed. one clause of which reads as
follows: mo person shall, during any
one calendar year, vote at the primary
election of more than one political
party" This is the plain and explicit
prohibition. At the end of the act
comes the penalty. 1t states that anv
person violating any Of the provisions
laid down shall be guilty Of a misde-
meanor punishable by a fine of from.
S25 to $500. or by imprisonmentf for from.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-07-13

thirty days to six months. This makes
the diversion of voting at both sets of
primaries In the same election contest
a hazardous one. 1t will probably be
determined by the action of the parties
at this time whether such law Is to
remain a dead letter. or whether 1t Is
to become so generally operative as to
put a stop to the corrupt control of
primary elections. We believe that the
voters of both parties owe 1t as a
duty to themselves and to the public
to ferret out offenders against the pri-
mary law and to see that they are
properly punished. A few convictions
under the statute Of 1895 would have
powerfully exemplary effect. 1t is
a good thing to enforce all laws, and
it Is a particularly good thing to
bring right to the front at this time
the primary election law and to so
vigorously enforce 1t that violations
will not occur hereafter.

biggest fight for quarter of century
the sound money men in general pre-
serve the same apathy, the same lofty
confidence in the ability of their prin-
ciples to triumph, without agitation
and without aid. the same sarcastic
contempt for those Of opposite views,
who can only seek refuge in silence.
and they will find that their votes in
November bear the same ratio to the
silver vote that was shown in the con-
vention at Chicago.
We do not doubt for a second the
honesty, integrity, sincerity and de-
votion to right principle of the Ameri-
can people; but all these qualities have
to be exercised according to the indi-
vidual information of the voter. Pos
sessed of them all, he may still go
utterly wrong If he Is governed by
grounded fallacy or by the perception
Of a half truth. Talk to him at this
and you have made another recruit
for free silver. The sound money men
have lost one battle by their own
apathy and foolish sense of innate
superiority. They have to deal with
the millions of the American people,
every man of whom feels that he Is
just as good and just as capable to
form an opinion as the rest of them.
1t is time now to get down to business
if we are not to have the financial sys-
tenn of this country revolutionized.

FRANK HURD, THE PATRIOT.

There was something pathetically fit
ting in the death Of Frank Hurd, at
almost the moment the Democratic
party was being immersed in Populism
and leaving the cause he so stoutly
fought for, the freedom Of trade ard
it's inseparable companion, a currency
worldwide in it's solvency. Before the
silver question had come to distract,
when conscience Democrats were ap-
pealing again to the moral sense Of the
nation to grant to the man who earns
a dollar the right to buy with 1t what
he would, it was Frank Hurd's magni-
ficent eloquence. yelling from a sincere
heart, that stirred again the consci-
ences Of men as they have not been
stirred since the days when Wendell
Phillips and William Lloyd Garrison
and their disciples proclaimed the COS
pei of universal freedom Of human Ia
Dor.
No one who sat in the Chicago con-
vention of free traders and revenue re-
formers in 1885 will forget to his dying
day the impassioned figure Of the dark
haired. crippled orator, as he poured
forth his appeal to have stricken from
the limbs of white men the letters that
restricted their freedom of exchange.
When his clear, strong voice rang out
the declaration: 'He who owns my la
Dor owns me- and "The government
earnings to give to some other man
makes me to that extent his slave" the
great audience that filled Central Music
hall made answer in peal on peal Of ap-
proving cheers. It seemed as If a new
crusade for still larger measure Of
human freedom were being inaugural
ed, and that Frank Hurd was to be it's
inspired prophet. When President
Cleveland "gave to his party great
cause and to a cause great party in;
1887, Hurd threw himself into the thick
Of the fight and his white plume was
seen where 1t was thickest. With
a national convention Of his party
turning from the great cause to num-
BILE incoherently about an adjusted"
tariff, and rushing madly off to sup
port ultra protection Of silver produc-
ers, one can imagine Frank Hurd well
coming the stroke that laid him low.

THE INSTANT NECESSITY.

Last March Secretary Morton, view
ing the situation then ripening rapidly
to the fruiting at Chicago, in letter
to the writer, said: LET us hope that,
come what may, there may be, under
some name, enough men of courage in
favor of honest money and honest in
ternational intercourse" In another
part Of the letter, commenting on the
onslaught made on Ambassador Bay
al of the fruits of protection, he said:
81 would rather be beaten with can
didate for the presidency like Mr.. Bay
ard, standing on a gold monometallic
platform, with silver as subsidiary cur
rency, and declaring for absolute free
trade, than to win with a trickster and
evader on platform of incidental pro-
lection and bimetallic rot"
While we do not agree with Mr. Nor
toms views as to moEometallism and
bimetallism, yet as far as plan Of ac-
ton is concerned, he then laid down the
chart for those Democrats Of the ma
Gratis and refuse to follow the Chicago
aggregation off into the wallow Of Pop
ulism. 1t is a higher duty that rests
on them than that of mere protest
against this radical departure. It is a
higher duty than the mere construc-
ton of an ark Of safety for the party
when the inevitable deluge of defeat
comes. 1t Is the same duty that called
the young men of the sixties to the de-
Tense of the country and its preserva-
ton. Nowhere elese is there hope.
Turn where one will there is the same
mad rush to paternalism. The Repub-
lican party, at last aghast at the logi-
cal extension of its financial policy,
takes refuge In the gold standard, but
what assurance is there of its remain
ing there? 1t must satisfy the raven
ing, uLreasoning horde that clamors
for protection. and how can it without
doing something for silver?" With
what hope of safety can Democrats
content themselves with choosing Nc
Kinleyism as the lesser evil? 1t is at
its best but@a temporary and danger
GUS expediency.
Mr.. Morton said further: There is
more peril today than there has
ever before been to the COM
merce, manufactures and agriculture
of the United States because of the
possible success OF, the illusionists, de-
lusionists and collusionists, who make
up the great army of cheap money ad-
vocates and defenders" 1t is from this
peril that only the men loyal to the
principles Of Democracy can save the
country. Let them move at once to
make party in favor Of honest
money ard honest International inter-
course

Il fear to trespass upon your time or

ments contained in the G o b e of
June ~, In which you say that I can-
not be aware of the fact that not an
ounce of silver bullion belonging to the
government In it's possession but GER
t1ficates are issued, and / must freely
ADMIT that was not aware Of this be-
ing the fact and wish for further light
py asking who will own the silver when
all the certificates are redeemed in gold
or worn out by actual USE Gold al
ways was a preferred money metal and
Wnen the government redeems these
certificates at their face value their
bullion value being only fifty-one cents
and all l have claimed in this matter
Is that this silver should be coined into
redemption money with allthe attributes
OF gold, and to claim that this bullion
does not belong to the government Is
erroneous and dangerous. for 1t places
us where the Populists would have
placed US II they had succeeded in hav-
ing the government store wheat and
cotton and issue certificates for the
same to be used as circulatory medium.
II you agree to take my note for your
morse the horse becomes mine and you
nave no more claim to the horse than
any other property that I may possess,
and the law placing this bullion on de-
post as security for the redemption
or silver certificates and then another
declaring that they should be kept on
parity with other money without pro-
v1d1ng that the security itself should
be used as means of it's own redemp-
ton, Is also an error and bad financeer-
Ing, neither Of which Democrats are
responsible for, but they are responsible
for allowing this drain on the treasury
to continue without an intelligent eff
fort to stop it. The question of how
much the government would loose or
gain In the coming Of this silver should
not be the question Of the hour. so
much, as how can the government
maintain the purity of the different
kinds OF money at the least cost Gold

Good Words.
Nearly every little stream belongs to some
proprietor or has been brought up by a vii
lage In its vicinity, and when any particu-
lar district requires more ample supply of
water 1t must be purchased at a great cost
or brought from some remote region No
river IN the neighborhood was available to
meet the wants Of large town like Funchal
and IN consequence the plan was conceived of
conveying the waters of the northern streams
IN an open channel right around the island

seen to be fully realized
Every little gully has to be penetrated
Till 1t can be crossed at the proper level; the
sheer prectpices down which the workmen
nave to be lowered with their drills and blast
ing powder; frequently rivers already bought
py some community below have to be bridged
must always be available when the work Ia
completed to keep the channel water-tight.
Inese leyadas are not like ordinary roads

face of a cliff with a wall of black rock an
one side and a terrific precipice on the other

next minute we dive into. the damp recesses
Of. a dark ravine, where the trees are festooned
with ferns and the dripping rocks painted
with many cOloTed MOSES.
The channels are from one to two feet dean
and OF similar breadth, while on the outside
is natural, or in some places, a built. retain
ing WALL, which offers a narrow vet secure
pain 10 the sure footed mountaineer. It is
quite evident that these watercourses give
unriyalled opportunities to the pedestrian for
