The BALTIMORE FRAUDS.

A S result Of the disclosures of alleged
y fraud at the recent primary election in Bal
timore, sixty-eght men are accused of juggling
the count of ballots, and there is a demand that
State Senator German who was nominated for
Governor and who appears TO have been the bene-
fcary of the fraud, retire from the Democratic
ticket
The cheating in the counting of votes was cas-
lily detected but it is said that the repeating fraud
was also largely practiced, and this kind of fraud
is much more difficult to expose. There must
have been conspiracy to debauch the ballot for
no large number Of men would deliberately OF
their own volition, engage in such practices as
have been exposed in Baltimore unless they had
been directed TO do so by the higher up.
If the accusations against the accused men are
sustained they will be sent 10 prison, while IT
is probable that those really responsible will
escape What Baltimoreans in favor of honest
elections want to know is, who was really respon-
sible for the revival of fraud as a method of con-
trolling elections
The practical result of the revelations will be
that the Democratic ticket will probably go down
to defeat. For many years frauds we're practiced
in Baltimore, and they finally led TO the overthrow
of the Democratic ring Baltimore is entering
upon a campaign of municipal progress, but the
fact that her elections are tainted will act an
obstacle to that material prosperity which she
seeks.
In this day and generation public sentiment is
growing stronger and stronger for fair elections,

1t is not likely that other Mayors will follow the
example set by the chief magistrate of Indian
apolis but Mr.. Shank demonstrated the fact that
the profits of the middlemen of his city we're
largely responsible for the high price of potatoes.
The cry against the middlemen has caused
of the New York newspapers TO come to their de-
fense with declaration that merchants are being
assailed but if the people get il into their heads
that prices for farm products entirely too high,
they will find a way to buy things cheaper.

there is movement to see if the expense of hand

Mysterious Leak.

The steamer Acapulco, of the Pa
cifc Mail Line, picked up at Amapala
the Hon Robert f. Broussard and a
friend OF his, named Carlisle. They had
made the trip overland through Hon
duras and We're on their way to San
Francisco
A night or two later Broussard and
Carlisle were seated on the after
promenade deck on the starboard side.
The steamer was going along easily
through a clam sea, and just below
where they sat a pipe was discharg-
ing into the sea in a good-sized
stream the water from the condenser.
Carlisle and Broussard watched the
outboard delivery of the water from
the condenser Then Carlisle said;
Bob, they have been pumping water
out of this steamer ever since we left
Amapala. Had you noticed that?'

the city is not helpless, for it could put the
screws on the present company in various ways
and force a satisfactory arrangement.
The people feel that they have a grievance, but
we think they would prefer peace to war with the

PEOPLES COLUMN
RESPECTING THE JUDGES.

To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL
As citizens of the United States we
certainly do agree with Mr. James
Manahan, Minneapolis lawyer, in his
address before the recent session OF
the Minnesota Bar Association, when
reference was made 10 the threatened
destruction of the independence of the
judiciary Mr.. Manahan said
II is urged that the recall of the
judges would subject the judiciary 20
the clamor of the mob. s. The
man who believes the people are a
mob does not believe in a republican
form of government. He should leave
this country. He has no place here.
His spirit is reasonable.
Respect the judges, of course; the
same as We respect men in other Of
fees who do their duty; no more. no
less. We cannot respect them If they
are arrogant or tyrannical or despotic.
They are entitled to the respect earn
ed by the justice and wisdom OF their
judgment, and this should be meas
ured, not by them. but by that
sovereignty tat creates them. Let
their work be done in the light of the.
power they serve, The more direct
and severe the light, the greater will
shine the glory of their work well
done.

= ITY COUNCILMEN are being commended,
- and rightly so, for their decision that no dele
gates shallbe sent TO the convention of the Amer
ican League of municipalities at the expense of
the city There has been great deal of criticism
because Of so-called junkets and il is WELL consid-
ering the financial condition Of the city, that no
delegates should be sent for the present gear at
least
1t is said that nothing beneficial to the city is
accomplished a result of attendance at such con-
ventions. In other words, from Wilmington
80 TO the conventions, make reports and nothing
comes of them On the other hand some of the
city officials have declared that they got good,
practical suggestions at the conventions, some of
which have been acted on in this city.
AS a rule we think the city should be represent
ed by delegation at conventions which consider
municipal topics. Such representation shows that
Wilmington is "on the map and il the delegates
are wide awake, they must certainly pick up in
formation of value.
One of the important matters before the city is
the relations between the city and the Public Utili
ties Corporations. We have been backward in
dealing with them according to the most approved
methods, and at municipal conventions the exper-
ience Of other CitiOe Can be learned.
Council, however will not be criticised but COM
mended for its decision to "cut out" trips for a
year. and when Council shows a disposition TO
economic il should be encouraged We should
not like however. to see Wilmington permanently
unrepresented az municipal gatherings.
