POLITICAL. CROOKS.

In New Orleans on March 7 there
was held an election for a justice of the
Supreme Court. to which there was no
opposition. but according to reports III
che Times Democrat, this election Is
discredited with the most repfehensible
of frauds In the charge filed with the
district attorney with a list of names
furnished. the charges include perjury
In falsely swearing to the election re-
turns ballot box stuffing and frauds
which are shocking TO deeeney and
manhood
AS d fact, All election held III New
Orleans without the usual programme
Of frauds and rascality would be no
election
This may be regarded as political
Joke, bit tt Is about time for the people
who favor honest elections to have a
reckoning with the election thieves.
This reform. OF rather an improved
condition, IL not possible until the men
who dominate in New Orleans and from
New Orleans the State, shall have been
overwhelmed in defeat
Any man who will tatnpet with the
election machinery would steal as a
common thief If he were not deferred
by the possibility Of a term III the pen.

ELECTION FRAUDS.

1t may be said in a general sense that
there are very few communities, if there
he any. which may claim exemption
from election frauds.
And il is uncomfortable that some
men. otherwise honest. will wink at
election frauds if they are the gamers
thereby.
When men hold their Offices by fraud
it is not surprising that such frauds
perfneate more or less through the sys-
TEN of government, and it is this species
of crookedness which strengthens the
hold ct the venal politicians and the
4ime-sefvefs.
How can one who holds an Office by
a title tanned with fraud ignore or re-
buke the crooks who have made his site
cess possible?
If frauds pefpetfated before or at and
after elections must be checked there
is only one course to pursue, and that
IS convict the crooks and assign them
to hard labor during the limit fixed by
law
When the crooks realize that they can
not escape the penalty for their ras-
caIity, they will cease to be the ready
dupes of the men who profit from cleo
ton ffauds and political rascality.
