Beginning the New Way.

Richmond News Leader
Virginians who are just entering on ar
era of honest elections, primary and other
wise, will be interested in the experience
Of South Carolina, where the same kind Of
reform begins to be tasted. In Charleston
elections of all kinds have been farces
since the war. People had become so accus.
toned to swindling that nobody expected
anything else. Last fall an election was held
for State senator. To the intense astonsh-
ment of the population, several citizens
have been arrested, accused by Democrat
ic prosecutors, of fraudulent voting in a
Democratic election. One of these accus.
ed. man named Schroeder, had voted
under the name of G. F. Butler. The
evidence against him was overwhelming,
and it was also proved that the man had
protested against voting under the false
name, but had been urged on in the poll
ing place by Alderman CALVIN. Mr..
Grace, the defeated candidate for whom the
man is said to have voted, appeared in
court as counsel for defendant. Apparent
iy he was as much astonished as anybody
that serious prosecution had been under
taken. He made a speech which may be
called brutal in its frankness, and the &C.
curacy of which many Southern cornmun.
tiles must recognize, no matter how NOR.
tifying. He denounced the whole pro-
ceeding as "a sham, instigated by political
hypocrisy" Apparently he was unable
to conceive that prosecution against a
Democrat by another Democrat for fraud
ulent voting could be suggested by any
other motive. He declared that fraud
had been practiced openly in all elections
of late years without any talk of prosecu-
tion," and naively added "that the calling
of these cases for trial was a surprise"
Furthermore, he made this curiously
explicit confession: "No man that holds
high Office to-day presumably he means
In South Carolina) can truthfully say that
be did not know that fraud had been prac-
ticed to accomplish his election. have
been particeps criminis in such matters with |
many who to-day hold higher Office than
l ever hope to aspire to-"
In this particular case one juror of the
twelve was shameless enough and sufi-
GENTLY devoid of understanding of the
the new order of things to hold out for
acquittal, and there was a mistrial in the
teeth of the evidence. Nevertheless, in
two other cases of similar kind, convic-
tons were secured, and fraudulent voters

Very Remarkable Cure Of pIarrhOea

tack of diarrhoea," says Mrs. Alice Miller,
of Morgan, Texas. 81 got temporary re-
lief, but it came back again and again,
and for six long years l have suffered
more misery and agony than | can tell.
1t was worse than death. My husband
spent hundreds of dollars for physicians
prescriptions and treatment without avail.
Finally we moved to Bosque county, our
present home, and one day / happened
to see an advertisement of Chamberlain
Collie, Cholera and Darrhoea Remedy
with testimonial of man who had been
cured by it. The case was so similar to
my own that l concluded to try the
remedy. The result was wonderful. l

fered so long, but that one bottle of medi-
cine, costing but few cents, cured me"

Cuba Alarmed.
Philadelphia Press.

The intimation of the German Govern
ment to the Cuban representative at Ber-
lin that it will soon be time to take up the
German claims against Cuba naturally
arouses intense interest in Havana. The
Cubans did not know that any such claims
were in existence, and they do not know
yet on what they rest. But they are un.
doubleday war claims growing out of the
destruction or injury of German property
during the Instruction against Spain.
The Cubans do not feel that they can be
held responsible for any such claims, as
The Spanish ruled Cuba at that time; but

newspapers, advises. under the crcum.
stances, that the Cuban Government
should ratify and carry into effect as fast
as possible the treaties and agreements
with the United States. That is very
sensible advice.
Cuba would be much less able to cope
with any foreign Government than Venez
uela, and without the support of the
United States it would be powerless. If
Germany presents war claims France and
other nations may be expected to do the
same thing. There is no ground for them.
but the course Cuba has pursued so far
has not been of the kind to make the
United States unduly active in its behalf.
The Monroe Doctrine would be enforced,
but that did not prevent war against
Venezuela. Cuba should bestir herself if
she desires the cordial support of the
United States

Curious Habit In a DOG.

A certain POmeranian has a most ex-
traordinary habit at mealtimes which
appears worth recording. This behav-
ior is the prelude to only one kind Of
food. e., bread and milk. 1t consists
in first wiping the nose smartly to and
fro ON the flannel on which the dog
lies. and this is repeated between each
mouthful. To such an extent is this
eccentricity carried that she refuses
this kind of food altogether if there is
no flannel to wipe her nose on. The
curious part of the whole episode is
that there is none of this wiping with
bread sopped in gravy. 1t seems to be
suggested by some irritation peculiar
to warm milk.-LOndon Times. /
