THE RULE OF FRAUD
IN POLHGS.

IN POLI7IGS.
 The Kentucky election is to be contested, just as elections have been contested in other Southern States, and for the same reason, VIZ: Charges and coQnter.charges of fraud committed either in the cleo tion itself or in thecount afterward
 It has come to pass Jhat every close election iu the South is disput ed and made the occasion for aeeu sations of deliberate rascaIity on either side, and the candidates who have prima facie case are not per- mitted td enter upon the discharge of their official duties in peace until the opposition has fsst exhausted all the expedients known to official triekstefs or hair-splitting lawyers to prevent them.
 The most trivial teehnicalities are made much ot ia these contests. The manifest intention of the voter goes for nothing if wrong initial, for instance, be prin ted or written on his ballot. The side he has voted against in such case will demand that his ballot be thrown out. And so it goes, until the whole armory of made-to-order objections is ex- hausted.
 Of course, there is a color of law for all this The law as it is made by the average legislature and ap- piled by the average lawyer is ehock full of humbug, to use the mildest term possible. In the erd the de- 'cision goes to the side that controls the IT achinery of government, ard l bY reason of such control rather than on the merits of the case. It follows that in many instances the people are robbed of tteir suffrage and the basic principle of our syS tenn of government deliberately vio. lated for partisan ends.
 What is to be tue end of all this? Is the republican form of govern ment in a half dozen to a dozen States of the Union to be forever made the mock of interruptions partisans? Are the honest citizens of those States who believe in re publican institutions and regard the stealing of ballots as crime equal to or worse than picking a pocket, to submit always when the thieves brazen out the theft and jeeringlY ask: "What are you going to do about it?9 Will they always allow themselves to be robbed of ther birthright by whatever party or faction happens to be ia control Of the election machinery?
 It is shame that there should be need of asking such questions in a i country where men are supposed both to know their rights and to have the courage to maintain them
 If there is no remedy but regolu tion, then republican government in tte States in question is a wicked fraud, mere convenience of politi cal trickery, by which citizenship is degraded while scoundrels fatten on the results of their Yillainy. Revo- lution-the opposition of force to authority acting under the forms of law-i is dread alternative, bat in some cases it better befits man. hood than tame submission.
 This is not altogether party issue. Legalized political robbery is of Republican origin. It was in troduced ia the South under the

SYNOPSIS.

Master Ardick, just reached his majority
and thrown upon his own resources, after
stating his case to one Houthwick ship

Industry, bound for Havana. Mr.. lynn,
the supercargo, describes sail. The strange

first mate takes charge and puts into Sid
mouth to secure new mate. Several days
later, when well out to sea, an English
merchantmen is met, whose captain has
letter addressed to jeremiah Hope, at
Havana. The crew of the vessel tell
strange tales of the buccaneer Morgan,
who is sailing under the kings commits
sion to take Panama. One night little
later, the English vessel having proceeded
on her course, bit of paper is slipped into
Ardick's hand by one of the sailors. This
is found to be a warning of mutiny plot
headed by Pradey, the new mate. Ardick
consults Mr.. lynn. They resolve to secure
the mate, but Pradey, eaVesdropping in
the cabin, makes through the door and
arouses the crew. Capt. SeHinger joins
Ardick and lynn. The crew break through
the now barricaded door, but are forced to
retire, having lost seven Of their number.
Finding themselves now too Short-handed
to manage the boat, Pradey decides to scut-
tie and desert the vessel, taking his men
off in the only available boat. The captain,
supercargo and second mate soon discover
their plight, but hastily constructing raft
get away just before their vessel sinks.
The next morning a Spaniard draws near
them. The man in the rigging shouts: IF
you would board us, take to your oars. Be
speedy, or you will fall short" On board
they are sent forward with the crew, be-
ing told they will be sold as slaves on reach
ing Panama. The ships cook they find to

from the yard arm. whom they suppose is

REMARKABLE PICTURE.
a Snap shot That Was Taken At
the Moment of q Fearful
Fatality.

The most remarkable snap shot pic
tuS, in the world is owned by friend of
nine in a town in Georgia" said an en-
thusiastic amateur photographer. Its
story is extremely curious. II seems
that ne went one day to blacksmith
shop to get shot at the men at the
forge. The smith was engaged on
difficult piece of i on work, and mad two
2elpers. Just behind them, on a shelf,
was pint flask, full of yellowish- white
iquor-evidently the corn whisky for
which the native Georgian has a pc
culiar liking. As my friend was prepar-
ing to take his picture, one of the help
er5 caught sight of the bottle and COM
municated his discovery by dumb show
to his companion. The smiths back
was turned at the moment, and the first
man reached stealthily for the prize,
while my friend, unnoticed in the cor
ner, quickly aimed his camera. It was
a comical scene, and in his mind he had
already named the photo The Stolen
Drink"
The helper uncorked the flask and
took a swift gulp, and his comrade
snatched it and did likewise. Then, for
brief, breathless instant they looked
al each other, and as they did so their
foolish grin gave way to such a stare of
horror as l never saw before upon
human face. 1 know, because it WAS
then that the camera clicked, and the
picture is as clear as crystal. TIE flask
contained carbolic acid. Within an
hour both men were dead. When my
friend took one print he broke the
negative so as to make the photograph
absolutely unique. 1t shows the for
ward end OF the shop, in the foreground
is the anvil, with the smith bending
over bis work. Behind him are The Two

of the neighboring paddocks covered
with palm thatch. BY the brightness
of the sun that came IN at the door and
the oppressive heat L guessed that it
must be nigh noon.
Ny thoughts seemed now to fall into
their natural order, and 1 made haste
to question him.
'How does it happen that 1 am here 2"
I said; land in what manner was DE-
livered from Pradey?"

quietly. 1T were best that you did
not talk overmuch now" he went on.

in upon you. 1 lad scant time. but
fired, and was fortunate enough to
send a ball through his head. Then I
dragged you bit aside, and presently
was able to secure the aid of one of
the men, when we brought you hither."
This was great news, to be sure-in
especial, the part that related to
Pradey-and I was content to remain
silent a moment and reflect upon it.
Then that villain is gone! Surely
we have reason to rejoice" said at
last. But how think you will the
other buccaneers take it? Do they
know the manner of his death?"
Nay, and it were best that they
should not" answered Mr.. lynn. low
ering his voice. LET it seem that he
died in action"
True" said /, 'that will be wise.
But now what of the fortunes of the
day? 1t would seem that we had won,
but in what sort? Have we taken the
city?"
well, if you viii talk" said he, shak-
ing his head. Il trow you may as well
have the whole story. Aye, we have
beaten the enemy and taken the city.
Nevertheless, Morgan has, for little,
withdrawn, fearing, as it is said, mines,
poisoned water ald other snares, but
1 think in reality not desiring to trust
the men. He will be for waiting till
their blood is little cooled and he can
be sure of obedience"

l could glance between the heads
in front of me and see what sort of place
we were approaching. Five or six little
huts stood out in front, some paddocks
or cattle yards ran along in the rear,
and still back of these was long, low
stone building. The fiat roof of this
was mounted with cannon, and behind
the rails of the paddocks were the
crouching figures of soldiers. A troop
OF horse was drawn up at the right
of the long building.
We lowered our heads and made
straight forward. Then the enemy's
discharge broke, and men went crash
ing down on all sides of me. Before the
smoke had lifted we returned the fire
and were Immediately among the little
huts. I threw down my gun and drew
my sword, and fetched glance around

through the smoke were some other IA

with lively anxiety concerning the su-

"SWIPES" CAME BACK.
The Remarkable Return of n Dog to
His Master from Denver to
ST. Louis.

A certain ST. Louis merchant who
was at the time of the incident herein
related engaged to be married to a lady
living in Denver had large, handsome
Dandie Dinmond setter, named. for that
inscrutable reason by which many men
will degrade some of the noblest of
Beasts with belittling titles, ''Swipes."
The lady of his future heart and home,
having seen and formed an ardent at
tachment for the dog on visit to ST.
Louis, the merchant, in the goodness of
his heart and the warmth of his affec-
ton, determined to take her the dog as
a present, perhaps that the faithful ami
NAL might keep him in her mind until
such time as his affairs would allow him
to bring her to the home he had bought
in his native city. He therefore boxed
up "Swipes" and put him on a train
bound for Denver.
He waited two days in great anxiety
for some acknowledgment of the gift,
but no word came. Three days passed,
aud four, and finally week rolled by
without word of thanks from his lady
love. The merchant then grew wroth
and sat down to write such a letter as
would speedily bring my lady to her
senses. As he was arranging his pens
and papers for the mighty struggle,
however, he heard faint scratching
on his door, and. arising, admitted the
dog himself. Swipes was lean and dirty
and sheepish-looking generally. He APP
preached his master with the general
air of a setter who expects to be
whipped, and, crouching himself at his
feet, looked tearfully up into his face
The merchant felt his heart go out to
his former pet. He stopped and gave
him pat, at which. after the manner
of his kind, the dog went wild with
JOY. Swipes had had adventures, the
merchant saw, but he had never
reached the lady off in Denver.
Investigation proved that his sur
misses had been correct. The express
company, on being charged with nom
delivery, traced the dog and his box 10
that driver who had been ordered to
convey him to the tagged destination.
The driver, after considerable cross
questioning, admitted he had forged
the receipt check and that Swipes had
never been delivered. He had broken
out of the box in the middle of the city
and leaped off the wagon into the
crowd. disappearing almost instantly.
The driver had never heard of him
again. How the dog got back to ST.
| Louis is mystery, but he got there
His master, in the joy of recovering
him at all, concluded to wait until after
| the ceremony to share him with the lady
at Denver, much the more so because
he firmly believes that if Swipes were
to be conveyed to the north pole he
would manage to get back to the man
whom his dumb dog love deems the
| finest thing a-going. 1t is not every
day, the merchant knows, that such
consistency is to be found.-Cincinnat
