LOUISVILLE CORRUPTIONISTS

Louisville politicians are keeping their
past unsayory reputation for corrupt
methods in politics The Republican
primary to nominate candidate for
Mayor and other city officers was con
fessedly the most corrupt of all the long
list of corrupt elections in that city.
They burned ballots, etc, before they
were counted Gov Bradley and
other leading Republicans exposed the
frauds. and the whole thing has been
declared off, Booker Reed, an ex- demo
crat. who left the democratic party be
cause OF the Goebel election law. was a
Republican candidate before the pri-
mary, and defeated. Guess he realizes
now that Republican leaders know
something about stuffing ballot boxes,
burning tickets, etc, themselves

NEGROES NOT WANTED.

1t has been plainly demonstrated that
the negro Is not wanted in the North.
His experience as a laborer in Illinois.
Indiana, Pennsylvania and other north
ern states is evident of the fact. The
Pittsburg Post frankly says there is not
much room for difference of opinion on
the one point of the non -desirability of
imported negro labor. Ii is bad for the
whites, bad for the blacks and bad for
the industries that resort 10 ii. There
is prejudice against them at the north
and their life here is not desirable one

CAMERAS IN CHURCH.

A clergyman in England is advocat-
ing the use of concealed camera in
the pulpit which could be snapped by a
button, unknown 10 the congregation.
This innovation, he thinks would pre-
vent much OF the snoozing IN church. as
the camera would take picture of the
congregation and the sleeping ones be
caught. Then, he says, by showing
these photographs TO the backsliding
ones they would become so ashamed
that they would net be liable to repeat
the performance. The suggestion Is
novel and deserving the ingenuity of a
Yankee; bur we should think that the
surest way of keeping the congregation
awake lies in preaching interesting ser
mons.

OMISSIONS OF THE LEGISLATURE.

In another column The Post prints communication
from Hon. T. f. Niece, member of the Legislature
in comment q ecent editorial relating to the omis
sions Of the legislature.
In reply to Mr.. Niece it is only necessary to say
that The Post is well aware of what the journals of
the Twentyseventh legislature show on the subjects
he refers to, but fails to where he find any
thing in them to sustain his position.
True, as he says, attempt was made to enact an
internal quarantine law, but The Post pointed out
nothing of it. bill which so faulty as to
meet the disapproval of the governor enacted
But had its fate been different would have been
surprised than the members OF the free confer
ence committee that Matched it returned it the
Legislature 10 be passed without reading in the hurry
of the last days of the session.
Said bill provided that twothirds of the OF in
ternal quarantine should fall upon the State but APP
propriated cent for internal quarantine pur
poses for the enlargement Of the state health de-
partment necessitated by it's provisions That being
the it makes difference whether the State
health officers estimate of the cost of such quarantine
too high not, for the law would have been in
operative under any circumstances And there were
other respects in which the bill fatally weak but
it is not necessary to refer to them here Mr. Niece
has not fit to defend it except in the particu-
lar noted
In the matter of mineral lands, Mr. Niece has clear,
y misunderstood what The Post has said This paper
has not asserted that provision made for mia.
