On Friday the Northwestern Paper

THE LEVY COURT STEAL.

There is reason to hope that the She'll
pot election frauds will lie pursued in the
courts until the true inwardness thereof
has been exposed and the guilty parties
have all been brought to the bar Of
justice. This Shellpot affair was a fraud
at primary election where Republicans
were cheating Republicans II is a pity
that there is no hope of seeing some of
the election frauds exposed before the
court, where, az the general election. Re
publcans cheated Democrats a most
hagrant case occurred at the general
election of 1904 whereby Robert Nc
Farlin became Levy Court Commissioner
instead of John W. Morrison This pro
duced the Republican majority in the
present Levy Court. When the Superior
Court recounted the votes for Levy Court
man in the election district which voted
at the Washington House in Newark they
found four tickets where the obvious in
tent was to vote for Morrison. but those
four tickets contained distinguishing
marks, on account of which the court
was compelled to reject them, and there
by Morrison lost the election. The cleo
tion officers in that district promptly
made afadavits that no such marks were
on tnose tickets when they counted them
for Morrison, and locked them up in the
ballot box. Those afidavits were signed
by the Republican as well as the Demo-
cratic election officers Evidently some
body had opened the ballot box and put
the distinguishing marks on the Nor
nson ballots. Isaac Elliott was cheated
out of his nomination as Levy Courtman
by the Shellpot frauds at a primary cleo
Ill.
Of his election as Levy Courtman by the
Washington House frauds at the general
election Is it not as much of a crime for
Republicans to cheat Democrats at the
general election as it is for Republicans
to cheat Republicans at the primaries ?
Why is it that the opening Of the Wash
lngton House ballot box and the tamper-
ing with its contents, have not been fol-
lowed by criminal prosecutions ? Were

Yesterdays outbreak in the Senate
was only what those in close touch with
the situation have been predicting. Too
many angry men have been going about
with a sense of having been tncked by
the President in this ate-bill matter, to
make il possible to suppress open charges
of bad faith. But Senators who say
these unpleasant things merely show
that they are not adopts in that fascin-
ating study-Roosevel psychology. The
President has simply displayed the same
qualities at Washington that he eX-
hbited at Albany as governor. That is to
say, when some project of legislation in
which he is deeply interested is pending
he talks on all sides of it with appalling
energy, appears TO abound in the opin-
ions OF every man with whom he coniers
and sets a dozen people to work for him
In contradictory ways. Then when he
finds where the majority is going TO be-
he sides with il vehemently, and de-
clares that he never dreamed of doing
anything else This is the process which
his friends call his engaging habit Of
thinking out loud His enemies apply
same. There are always legislators to
say that he has deceived them; there is
always an astute and powerful leader

sent of the President who vowed that he

pemooratlo HOPES In Kansas.

Il is stated that the Democrats of Kan
sas, with ex- United States Senator Viii
liam A. Harris as their candidate for gov
ernor, have high hopes of not only elect
ing their State ticket at next falls cleo
ton, but of securing a majority in the
Legislature and thus gaining the seat in
the United States Senate now held but not
occupied, by Senator Burton. The latter.
it will be remembered, was indicted and
sentenced in the United States Court at
st. Louis, and it is now a question
whether he will 60 back to his seat in the
Senate or retire to a prison cell.
That Democratic hopes in Kansas
should be called rainbow chasing" is not
surprising. For Kansas long stood with
Vermont in the impregnability of its Re
publicanism. True il yielded to the
wave of Populism for several years but
never TO out-and-out Democracy. And
at the latest square test Of party senti-
ment, undiluted by the essence Of Popu-
lism-the Presidential election of 1901
Roosevelt carried the State by plurality
of 1876 O93, and the Democratic vote was
only 81 800. The Democrats did better
in the voting for governor at that cleo
tion, but Gov. Hoch the "kisser," re-
ceived a plurality of 69,740 over Dale.
Democrat, whose vote was ll6.99l.
lt viii be admitted therefore, that the
conditions do not afford encouragement
TO the Democrats, yet the latter are en-
thusiastic beyond reason, and insistent
that they will win this year. They may.
it is true, for anything is possible in poll
tics But at this distance their enthusi-
asm has all the appearance of rainbow
chasing"
One thing, however, is sure: A Demo-
cratic victory in States like Kansas at
this years elections would mean such a
rebuke to the Roosevelt administration
and the Republican party, that the path
way TO victory for the Democratic party
in 1905 could be obstructed only by that
party's own folly and political mendacity.

BRIDGE JAN CONFERENCE.
Mayor Calls In Engineers 10 Settle on
Something Feasible.

Mayor Mcclellan has called a conference
to he held in his Office next Monday on
plans for relieving the congestion at this
end of the Brooklyn Bridge. The conference
will be attended by Prof. w. W. Burr, the
consulting engineer of the new Water
Supply Board; William Barclay Parsons,
Bridge Commissioner Stevenson, Chief
Engineer c. NJ. Ingersoll of the Bridge
Department, Ira s. Mccormick, the engi-
neer in charge Of the improvements being
made on the New York Central Railroad
system. and Corporation Counsel Ellison.
1t is the purpose Of the Mayor to try to
evolve out of the multitude Of plans now
lying in the Bridge Departments pigeon
holes some concrete plan that will afford
speedy and adequate relief. The Mayor
is of the opinion that this can best be sc-
complished by going ahead with the propo-
sition for the building of terminal loops on
the block occupied by the Stats Zeitung
Building and on the two triangular blocks
lying Immediately TO the north. He
ridiculed yesterday the assertion a by
Vice-Presiden Calderwood OF the Brook
Ign Rapid Transit Company hat the capac-
ity of the bridge had been reached and that
it would be dangerous to attempt to run
more trains upon il. Mr.. Mcclellan said
from expert advice he had received he was
confident that the train service could be
greatly increased If the terminal facilities
we're enlarged.
Vice-President and General Manager
J. F. Ca~lderwood OF the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company made this statement
last night:
The Commissioner of Bridge determines
how many cars may be operated over the
Brooklyn Bridge. With the facilities now
given the railroad every precaution is TAX en-
to handle the travelling public with despatch
under n very close head way during rush
hours, but tanning and crowdinE are una
Voidable because we cannot operate any
more cars.
We stand ready when additional bridge
facilities are afforded by the city to give an
increased service. We desire the public to
know and to understand that the condition on
the bridge is not the fault of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit. The incessant TRADE against
the Brooklyn Ra pid Transit for the congestion
and crOwding at the New York end OF the
bridge snd OF their cars over the bridge does
not aid or encoura ge our employees to battle
with the present and trying conditions, but
on the contrary. disoourages them.
The Brooklyn public has been promised
relief. from this congestion by several ad-
ministrations. Let IL be recalled that the
relief 40 far afforded by the city has been
adding a few Inadequate platforms at the New
York terminus. The company has expended
several hundred thousand dollars for better
ments on the bridge. ] hope no serious
accident will occur in connection with the
present operation. Should an accident occur
the public should place the blame where the
blame belO ngs.

fact that Mccarthy had been summoned

that he had beer collecting money to let
people in at a private gate of the baseball
ground which he was watching. Mccarthy
declared that there was no truth in the
charge and that the secretary was satisfied
of his innocence. That had occurred on
the last dav of the baseball season, and he
had left the employ Of the company and

The woman who was willing to accuse
Caruso Of annoying her at the Horse Show

the same age. She wore a brown velvet
dress and a black veil. Both women said
they had consented to appear as witnesses
only after the police had assured them their
names wouldn't be disclosed.

his lead wife and among the first messages
he received from Bright Star, Mrs. Ropp's
Indian maiden control, was ar order to
marry the medium. Then she commanded
him to sell his farm, buy property in this
city and have il conveyed to him and his
second wife Jointly. He complied.
