Probe Deep.

OF the utmost Importance to the
welfare and reputation of Richmond
is the investigation, into the alleged
frauds in city elections to be initiat-
ed by the grand jury of the Hastings
Court. Rumors and charges are
afoat everywhere, and if evil condi-
tons and evil practices exist they
should be brought to light and cor
rupt manipulators of elections
brought to book The examination
Of the witnesses should be of the
mos, searching character, and full
and unreserved testimony should be
encouraged by those charged with
the duty of inquiry.
If fraudulent and corrupt practices
have been used in past elections they
should be detected and stamped out
before the next unusually important
elections are held. The slightest sus-
picion of the possibility of fraud in
the Forthcoming election must be
forstalled; those who are elected to
administer the / government must
have the full confidence of the peo-
ple.J Under a pure election system,
devoid of fraud, there will still exist
many political practices which are
near the line, and the people will
have work enough to do. in breaking
up such practices, without having
open fraud added in.
Let the probe go to the bottom.
If there is fraud, let it be known so
that it's nerve" can be killed. -
Richmond TimesIDispatch.
The above fits the conditions of
Mingo county. There are open
charges of fraud here and II our
citizenship care for their franchise
in the future they should see to it
that those who are guilty should be
prosecuted. Above all things see
that there is no frauds in the coming
election in this county.

SOS 600 For a Ror.

That may seem good sum for a
boy. But If il were your boy, it
would not be too much.
When Mr., Cudahy of Omaha,
Neb., found that his boy had, been
stolen and that his captors would put
out his eyes. if Mr.. Cudahy would
not pay them SIS 1000 for his return,
Mr.. Cudahy readily complied with
the request
These kidnappers were outlaws.
They were not protected by the gov
eminent or the State or the city. II
they had secured license, then they
need not have tried to hide away.
But they could have stolen another
boy the next day and the next and
the next And in the course Of a
year they could have captured quite
a number of $4,000 boys.
Mr.. Cudahy was fortunate that he
. could get his boy back for SIS 1000.
He was fortunate in having tina.
much to give for him, and he was
fortunate in being able to get his
boy back. s
Other boys are being stolen every
day, and no amount of money could
restore them to their heart-broken
parents. They are stolen under the
protection of the law They are ta-
ken from the homes of the sick and
the poor from the homes of the
well-to-do and the hard pressed No
great excitement is caused in the
community. A few whispers like
these: well Mr.. So-and-so's son
has gone down. Yes, it is too
bad. He was albright boy. Mr..
s. expected great things Of him. -"
esYes, but the saloon got him =
Yes, it is true the saloon got him.
If wild beast had wandered into
town and killed the boy, the whole
town would have turned out and
secured the hills and woods, until
the wild beast was caught and killed,
lest another boy should be caught
But the saloon got him
If the boy had fallen into an old
abandoned we'll, the people of the
town would have had the carts and
horses and men out filling up that
old well in quick time.
But the. saloon got him.
IT he had stepped on to the rail-
road track just as train was pass
ing and was killed, the town would
insist upon the railroad company
erecting gates and hiring two men.
one for day time and one for night
time to keep other boys from get
ting killed.
Fut the saloon got him.
And when the saloon has captured
as many boys as it can, it quietly
says to the people: Il want license
to continue in the work" And the
people quietly grant it. For how
much? Oh, various, sums-S50 a
year, 500 a year, $500 a year,
$1,000 a year. To capture $4,000
hos. Yes, if he pays his $50 no
matter what your boy is worth. and
he captures him you have no re-
course.
That is his business The saloon
would have gone out of business long
ago if it had not been able tc cap
ture $500 boys.
Have you $25. 600 boy to spare?

FOR HONEST ELECTIONS.

Some of the election officers in
Baltimore who were indicted several
months ago have been convicted and
sent to jail for terms ranging from
two years to two years and a half,
with a heavy fine thrown in. The
result Is regarded as a great triumph
for honest elections in Baltimore,
for il had settled into something OF
a belief in that city that almost any
thing could be done at primaries
without fear of punishment, and
such elections became more or less a
farce. But in this instance the
grand jury took the matter up on
it's own account, summoned election
officers and got the evidence on
which the indictments were brought.
1t was an unusual proceeding, but
1t did the business. Several score
more indictments are yet to be tried.
and a feeling is expressed in the local
newspapers that there is a POSSIBLE
ity of something like honest primary
elections in Baltimore in the future.

Washington, ID. c., Sept. "a
While the a~cuteness of the situation
on the northern border of Mexico
appears to have diminished somewhat
because of the dissipation of the
larger rebel bands in the neighbor-
hood of important towns, today's re-
ports from the country at large are
not encouraging to those who looked
for an early peace. The states of
Durango, the southern part Of Chi
huahua and western Sinaloa are re-
ported full of rebels and brigands.
The besieged city of Oaxaca is cut
off from communication and the sit
Iuation is believed to be serious. The
activities Of the Zapatistas in the
state of Mexico is being renewed. In
Mexico City everything is reported
quiet and the state Of Tabasco is
peaceful but these appear to be the
only peaceful spots in the republic.
