Representative Gibson Wants u Law Defining
Election Frauds.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Representa-
rive Chiffon, OF Tennessee, today intro.
duced a bill defining election frauds in
the election of representatives and del
egates. An election officer convicted OF
any of the crimes enumerated shall be
fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned
not more than three years, or both. The
offences include dishonest counts, omit
ting names from the tickets, prevent.
ing n voter from casting his ballot for
the candidate of his choice; dishonest
registration, printing the name of a
candidate in various ways on different
tickets and false returns.
THE principaleffect of the bill, "said
Representative Gibson, would be to
give the federal government cognizance
of such crimes. Previous federal laws,
since repealed, have been followed to
some extent, but modified to meet mod
ern ~exigencies, new crimes, etc. The
punishment is the same as that pro-
vided in the old laws. A district at.
torney would conduct the prosecution.
AT present, while the several States
have full power in the matter circum-
stances are such that prosecutions are
had, and are then not very sue.
cessful.

MACHINE MADE DEFENSE

Members and friends of the Demo-
cratic machine in this State appear to
be greatly wrought up over the ''slan.
der and abuse the Republicans are
heaping upon the fair name and honor
OF the State" OF course all this terri.
BILE anxiety about the Sta te's honor,
etc., is aroused to order from the engi-
neers who run the machine.
Certainly none but Republicans
would ever condescend to engage in
anything that could in any way reflect
upon the honor Of the State. But it is
a little singular that none oil them are
caught at it. Two years ago the charge
was made Of wholesale frauds having
beer committed by Republicans in the
Governors election; and, at great ex-
pense, a committee was sent out to find
the evidence of fraud, but not an lille.
gal act was fastened upon a single Re.
publican. The majority of the mem
bers of that committee succeeded in
making the honor and fair name of the
State a by word and a reproach.
Now that there is proof of such a
character as no sane nan will for q
moment doubt that in the late election
fra uds of such a shameful nature were
perpetrated in West Tennessee as to
call forth from all honest men, irres.
pective OF party affiliations, a most
earnest protest, these hangers on of the
machine rise up as defenders of the
states honor. The publication of the
TACT that frauds were committed in
tennessee in the elections of the past
Tour years is not doing the State any
n What maligns the fair name
n honor of this State is, first, the
commission of the frauds referred to
and second, the defense of them by
the tools of the machine-the most cor
rupt and degraded political body ever
tolerated in a civilized community.
Ii disgrace and infamy attaches to
the name Of Tennessee it will not be
by or through the acts of those who
snow a desire to unearth frauds in cleo.
lions and punish the perpetrators there.
OF, but by reason of the fact that a
portion of our people so far forget their
duty to their State and are SO COM
pletely careless as to her honor as to
willingly sacrifice oil for the purpose
OF continuing in power a machine that
will stoop to anything to gain its ends.

Why Not Try II.

No success is secured without effort,
aud worthy effort, properly pushed, is
not likely to fail. Jonesboro has some
enterprising citizens, and il they were
properly encouraged, more of the same
character would be developed. AS a
starter, why can not a company be
organized with sufficient capital to put
up an electric light plant, and in con
nection Herewith engage in the manu-
facture of egg crates, poultry coops.
and such other articles as are in every
day use by our people, the making of
which would not require expensive
machinery and would give employment
to some of our idle labor. Once a
start is made other things will follow,
and instead of shipping all our raw
material away, we would turn out the
finished product. If we do not make
a beginning, our future will be as
barren of results as has our past. Who
will be the first to move in this direc.
ton. Let Us with the new
year and get a move" on ourselves.
