Use OF MONEY IN ELECTIONS.

That there is need of a change in
the law in relation to the use OF mon
ev in elections is fact which cannot
be denied. The existing law, with
its severe penalties, is dead letter,
principally because of its seventies.
There was a time in England when
the penalty for what is now known
as petit larceny was death, yet men
persisted in stealing Men now buy
and sell votes with impunity regard
less OF the law which says it is telo-
ny.
Nearly all, possibly all OF the states,
have stringent laws on the subject.
In New York candidates are required
to present to the Secretary OF State
sworn, itemized account OF expendl-
lures. Augustus Van Wyck, Demo
cratic candidate tor Governor, swears
that his expenses in the recent cam
paigu were only $449.5o 1t is need
less to remark that his statement is
received with incredulity, The re-
ports filed so far by candidates for
Congress in that state vary in amount
from SO, 61o to six cents. The law is
regarded as a failure.
Public opinion in this State gener-
ally favors disfranchisement as pen
atty, but there is a division of senti-
ment whether the odium should fall
on the buyer or the seller or on both.
If on both there is a bond OF sympa'
thy and one protects the other. 1t on
one, which one2 To our mind the
buyer is the more guilty. He knows
better. He has a definite object in
view. He commits the crime with
malice aforethought-after mature
deliberation. He is invariably the
more intelligent.
The seller is usually ignorant, de-
PRAYED, poor or under the influence of
intoxicants. He has little if any in
terest in the Government. He hears
of others receiving money and does
likewise. His moral ideas are either
blunted or else fail to perceive that he
is disposing of his most priceless heri-
tage. Some do not sell to the enemy
but demand a price from their friends
their fellow partisans-using the
argument that they get nothing else
out of politics.
All things considered, to our mind
a law DISTINGUISHING all who offer to
buy votes, or who buy them, will at
once and finally end the traffic. No
one can sell when there are no buyers.
Let the law define the legitimate use
of money and there will be those in
every community who will see that
it is enforced.

BRYAN vs.. CROKER.

Col. w. J. Bryan says the recent
election did not decide anything that
free coinage was not considered by
the voters; that the Chicago platform
is still the Democratic creed and IS
sure to win in 1900; and that there
was not a sweeping victory any
how.
Mr.. Croker, Tammany Boss, is OF
opinion that silver is dead and that
the Democracy must declare against
trusts and in favor of home rule for
the cities.
It thus appears that an issue IS
made up for the Democracy and there
will be fun in the galleries when the
two wings begin to flop.
Col. Bryan appears to have forgot
ten that twenty-eight Of forty-tour
Democratic State conventions en-
phatically declared for free coinage
and not one of the other sixteen had
the nerve to declare for sound money.
Strange as the coincidence may APP
pear twenty-eight States declared at
the polls for honest money and pro-
lection. In the great majority OF the
others there is no pretence that the
elections are fair, at least half of the
voters being disiranchised or else ter
rorized. No one counts those States
in making estimates of electoral re-
suits. The fate of the country Tor
veal or woe is decided by the votes OF
two thirds of the States. OF those,
only Missouri, Montana, Colorado
and Utah gave Democratic or fusion
majorities.
Croker is the more astute politician
of the two. Home rule for cities"
would catch the ear of the bhoys and
"anti monopoly" is always attractive
to the populistic element. AS cam
paign slogans the Croker planks are
more seductive and not so terror1zing
to business as Bryan's unlimited 10
to /.
The trouble with both of the Demo.
cratic bosses is that they do not COM
prehend the true condition of affairs.
The splendid success of President
McKinley's administration will be the
most important factor in the contest.
Free silver has been overwhelmed by
the return OF prosperity. Bryan as
sertion that 1.-The people have not ac-
cepted the gold standard" is retuted
bv the public record. The people &C
cepted it in 1896; they have empha-
sized their verdict in 1898, and every
month. aye, every day OF industrial
PROGRESS and commercial success makes
the cause of debased currency more
hopeless. The 5000, 900, 900 balance
of trade in our favor last year added
eight dollars per capita to our circu-
lating medium and the present year
will increase it by a like amount OF
more. Four years of prosperity such
as the Nation now enjoys is an object
lesson that must teach the most obs
durate that Democratic theories and
appeals to prejudice are not what the
people want or need.
The Senate is safe for the next
eight years. President Mckinley
will succeed himself Prosperity will
spread over the land, and the sin of
Democracy will torment us, let US
hope, no more forever.
