conspiracy to steal the election in question IS
plain the conspiracy charged In the
Declaration OF Independence against the KING
and Council to rob the colonies OF their liberty
The whole election was set aside as bur
lesque on popular government. That a Demo
cratic court should thus rudely undo the work
of Democratic politicians and off1ceholders was
something OF q shock to Bourbon sentiment In
Kentucky THE Courier-Journal' showed not
little distress the situation. but 1t valiantly
concluded that If the ruling of the court makes
"for honest elections in Louisville 1t will be,
"eyen to those Democrats who are disgruntled
Eat 1t, a blessing in disguise" From the same
authority we learn that there has not been ian
election free from dishonest appliances held
.here In these thirty years or more 1t is time
for the people In all our municipalities to wake
up to the fact that toleratIng the rule OF cor
rupt machine perpetuating itself by fraud, Is
a piece Of costly and criminal folly. 1t means
high taxes, excessive charges for public service
utilities. the protection of crime. the reign of
graft and the sitting OF all civic pride and self
respect. Blind craftsmanship has been respon-
sible for tne spread of the system of government
for the benefit Of the politicians which Tam
many and autocratc organizations like Tam
many have installed for their own profit. 1t
Is Jolt to partisans to discover that the courts
are becoming less and less tolerant Of election
abuses and political sharp practice and more
and more ready to insist the Kentucky Court
of Appeals has just insisted, that no people
"are wholly civilized where a distinction is
drawn between stealing an office and stealing
"a purse" and that no city can he said to have

allow their elections to be Influenced by cor
rupton and fraud.

statement from the executive chamber
In Albany calls attention to the fact that the
utilities bill In its final form makes the salaries
and expenses of the commission OF the New
York City district payable by the state. The
only expenses the city will have to bear are the
expenses connected with subway building which
have always fallen upon the city. The Tribune
early expressed the opinion that the original
bill should be amended to assess the expenses
in this way It the only fair disposition Of
them.
