Evening journal., 1897-03-08

Ever since the last general election
the ballot-boxes Of Sussex county have
been in the custody of an Addicksite
sheriff and his deputies, and no doubt
easily accessible to the willy and un-
scrupulous lieutenants of the gas man,
who are master hands in the matter of
political corruption. Therefore it is not
to be wondered at that the congress
sional recount should show discrepan-
cies in favor of the Union Republican
ticket The ballots were doubtless
fixed before the Federal commissioner
was appointed. It was much easier to
fix the ballots than it was to fix the
tally-sheets and lists of voters. Hence
the discrepancy.

Those who were interested in the
passage of the boiler bill, recently
killed by the House, are still fighting
their fight in some of the rural week
lies. We have already stated that the
bill was a pernicious piece Of legisla-
tion, designed to give two men lucrative
offices at the expense Of .he owners OF
steam boilers and the grimy-handed
sons CT toll who operate them. It was
a scheme to bleed each owner So yeai
and each fireman 81 year, all of which
was TO go into the pockets of the in
spectors. The men for whose benefit
the bin was drawn are known, bu
their bill is dead and it is useless to g
any further into the matter.

MRS. CLEvELAND's POPULARITY

MRS. CLEVELAND'S POPULARITY.
AS mistress of the White House Mrs.
Grover Cleveland ranked with Mrs.
Dolly Madison. In her grace, her
beauty and her wonderful tact she has
perhaps never been excelled by any
woman who has come prominently be-
fore the people of the United States,
writes an admirer of that charming
woman. Her career has been unique.
She went into the White House as its
mistress almost fresh from school. She
had enjoyed but few of the advantages
which come from familiarity with so
ciety and social affairs. In the official
etiquette of Washington, where women
take so prominent part, she had abb
sOlutely no training. And yet she took
her place at the head of that society
and maintained herself in it without an
error. Her equipment consisted of ad-
mirable good sense and a subtle tact
which can only come by nature, and
which no woman who has not gentle
and q good heart can ever have. IL is
hard to bestOw too much praise upon
this gracious woman. She is doubtless
the most popular woman to-day in
America. She goes out of the White
House having escaped absolutely al
hostile or unkind criticism, and carry.
ing with her the love and the admira.
tion Of the people of the land. The
manner of Mrs. Clevelands departure
from the White House WAS characters
tic She waited long after the time fixeC
for her departure to welcome and gree
Mrs. Mckinley, received her cordially
extending to her both Of her hands anC
having ready for her bouquet of roses
And then she left.

a,,,.sc.,p,n< A r,,l, Passed.

Washington. Feb. 27.-The House,
after five-hours' struggle, to-day
passed the anti-railroad ticket scalp
ing bill by vote of 142 to 81. The
adversaries of the measure resorted to
filibustering tactics. but they were de
feated by an overwhelming majority.
The bill applies only to Interstate
commerce transportation. 1t requires
all carriers subject to the interstate
commerce act to provide agents au-
thorized to sell their tickets with GER
tificates, and makes 1t misdemeanof,
punishable by fine Of 1900 or Inn
prisonment for one year for any per
son not duly authOf .xed to sell tickets.
1t requires carriers to redeem unused
tickets. and makes the forgery or coun-
terfeiting Of tickets punishable by Inn
prisOnment for two years. A number
of other bills were passed during tAo
day under suspension Of the rules.

One Of the smaller western colleges
has been suffering from an epidemic OF
-.parallelism of thought" Three times
in six years the winner of the most
coveted oratorical prize has been con-
yicted Of stealing the Grafton that he
delivered as his own. 1t was in the
latest instance that the committee Of
Investigation substituted the foregoing
euphemistic expression for the harsher
word OF plagiarism. One Of the most
foolish ofrenses student can commit
is to endeavor to palm OFF the writing
of another person as his own. He is
almost sure to be caught, and in that
event the stain on his reputation is
tndelible. II he is not detected he
starts out in life under false colors. and
such a start Is usually greater mis-
fortune than to be caught and dis
graced at the outset.

The consular reports made to the
state department have disclosed one
interesting fact recently. That is that
the most expensive manufactured prod
net In the world Is the charcoal fla
ment used In incandescent electric
Iamps. These threads. which are made
by a secret process in Paris, are so
valuable that pound Of those intended
for lamps of thirty-candle power is
worth $1,000. Even the inventor and
maker Of t,ss f,aments keeps his Iame

ever published in the world is the Of

up to date OF s., 2,334 .32S. OF this amount

from private indisidutls. 1t will re-
quire at least three years longer and an
