rAmmANY AND ELECTION FRAUDS


ar Mr. Parsons's charge that his bills perfect
ing the registration and primary laws were w
feated as the result of a deal between Tammany
and certain Republican leaders no explicit
nroof has yet been submitted, and it is therefore
1,,,onor for the present 10 withhold judgment
There were plenty of indications, however OF Il
hinartisan understanding in the state Leglslat
,,re last winter. as a result of which many de-
sirahle measures received little consideration
Rut whether. Mr. Parsons's bills were beaten
as the result of a deal or not, grave dlscreol'
for their defeat rests upon the Republcan hh'-
iGrity in the Legislature. We have more ih'n
once condemned if for its unsatisfactory record
and the slaughter of the measures for the purl-
tication of elections in this city is only another
count in the indictment.
No excuse can he made in palliation of Their
defcat They were reasonable measures. invoN-
ing no hardship for the voter. None of them
proposed any such change in the registration
methods as that entailed by the law requiring
ncrsonS 10 sign the rolls on registering and
again on voting Against the law it was urged
that it would involve delay and Inconvenience
10 the voters but on actual test il worked eX-
peditiously and TO the general satisfaction. No
delay was caused and no complaint was heard
on Election Day of the unreasona bleness of the
requirement. If that law had been beaten in
Albany when il was proposed some iustifica-
tion might have been alleged for its defeat; for
on It's face il might have been supposed to be
unpopular But Mr.. ParsOns's bills of this year
merely improved that law in minor partcu-
lars and would have involved no requirement
against which there could have been complaint
among honest voters. The original law neglect
cd 10 require comparison of the voters sig
nature on registering with that on voting. One
of Mr. Parsons's defeated measures remedied
this defect
One device of the Tammany "hoater'' is to
represent himself voting in New York for
the first time. Thus there is no possibility in
his case of looking up his previous record as
voter. To meet such cases one of Mr.. Parsons s
bills required first voters to give more details
10y which to identify them than are required of
other voters. That was reasonable would have
affected only n small minority of the electorate
and could not have been the cause of com
pllint on the part of any honest citizen. A
/ third bill provided that registration records
! should he left in charge Of the Board of Elec-
| tons. They certainly should be kept in hon
| est and impartial custody The fourth and fifth
! bills provided for official ballot at primary
elections and the extension Of the signature
law" 10 such elections. However Tammany Sc
cured the defeat of these reasonable and neces-
sary measures. their fate serves notice on the
public of Tammany's intentions in the coming
election Its purposes are not altered ont of
Difference TO the character and record of its
candidate. This shown by its stufing the

The case of Finland is essentially different
from that of any other region, because that
country is cOnstitutlOnally not a part of Russia
at all But Russian efforts are now vigorously
and necessarily directed toward annexing and
assimilating it, 1t is proposed that the parlia-
ment at Helsingsfors shall be abolished and
that instead Finland shall send representatives
TO the DOuma and the DOuma shall thence
forth legisate for Finland in common with the
rest of the empire Now under the Finnish
constitution such a change can be made only
by the Finnish people themselves through their
national parliament But the Russian govern
ment proposes that the question shall not be
submitted to the Films at all, but shall be dis
posed of by the Russian Douma alone!
1t is easy TO understand and TO sympathize
with the desire for unificatiOn of the empire.
That desire is legitimate. But it is doubtful if
it is TO be realized by cOerclve acts which pro-

RUSSIAN PARTICUL4RISu.

Russia under the constitutional and uorIj,-

problems similar 10 those which have yexad

voving the duties. rights and privileges of the
various parts Of the composite and heteroge-
Eeous empire. Under the old regime of absolute
autocracy such questions were not of course per

the Russias and his rule was equal and unchal-
lengeable over all the tribes and nations Rut
with constitutionasm there have arisen ygor-
Gus claims for the rights of men, not only as in
dividuals, but also as members of various races
and adherents of various creeds
In every case these local claims are distaste-
ful to and are resisted by the imperial govern
ment, which resoutely aims at the complete
Discrimination Of all parts of the empire Thus
in Central Asia the TurkOmans are asking for
maintenance Of their local customs and OF tbe
MohaInmedan sacred law. TO which the govern

that wholesale migration of the Kirghizes TO
