AS the war with Spain draws to a close
the question "what shall we do with
our young veteran volunteers" natu-
rally Is being discussed by grateful
people Shall new fraternal society
be organized. having for lis object the
perpetuity of the memory of our boys
who have SC nobly defended the flag
our veteran fathers saved. or would it
be the proper thing for the G. \. r. to
open It's doors and receive into their
fellovsh this body Of noble men
whose deeds of valor on sea and land
have added new lGster to Amer1-
can arms? What prinyiple being held
by the @. A. R. would suffer. if it should
choose TO thus welcome beneath its
loyal wings these latest exponents Of
AmericaRism and military proves.
What more fitting body of men could
more justly maintain the perpetultv of
the old veterans of '6l to '65 than these
young veterans of .93? When the tinle
shall come, as come it viii all too soon.

The Portland daily press., 1898-03-14

The legislature of Kentucky has just
passed over the governors, veto one OF the
most abominable election laws that has
ever been enacted in this country. The
legislature contains majority OF hye
Silver Democrats, and the scheme Is OF
their conooction. By it all the election
machinery is placed in the hands OF a
commission composed of three men.
This commission is to be appointed by
the legislature, and it may be and doubt-
less will be composed of representatives
of only one party. Not Republican nor
a gold Democrat nor a -Populist will have
representation upon it-only the Silver
Democrats. If the measure Is sustained
by the courts, opponents of. the silver
Democracy might just as well stay away
from the polls as go there and vote, for
no matter what votes go into thu ballot box
the count is certain to show free silver
victory, The South used to complain
bitterly of Federal election laws, and
it finally succeeded in getting them wiped
from the statute book. If this Kentucky
plan spreads it will not be many years
before they are restored. The people OF
the states that have free and fair elections
are not going to permit their votes to be
untitled by such wholesale fraud as may
be, and undoubtedly will be, perpetrated
under the Kentucky law.
The Portland daily press., 1898-03-14

Through the contest which Mr.. True,
the Republican candidate for alderman in
the first Deering ward, has begun in the
Supreme court, we may get ruling on
the legality OF sthe action of the board OF
aldermen in canvassing set of corrected
returns instead of the original returns
sealed up in the ward meeting. 1t is i'm
portant that the power of the board OF
aldermen in canvassing returns be
authoritatively settled, for there may be
good deal of mischief in the future in
such practices as the Deering board was
guilty of in the recent election. In that
particular case no great harm resulted
because it was generally admitted that a
mistake had been made in the return, and
that substantial justice was done iby the
boards action. But some day the ex-
istence of the mistake that the board un-
dertakes to orreot may not be generally
admitted, and then such a proceeding as
that of last week may precipitate serious
trouble. The methods of procedure which
the law provides are generally founded on
good. reasons, and cannot be departed
from without danger.
