MONEY AND ELECTIONS. New York is not the only slide where votes are bought and sold. So outrageous has this practice become iiud so barefaced, that statistics are even given ns to the number of votes so bartered. Rat riot ism is at a low ebb w hen where he was drawn by reported this right of a free man is so meanly frauds in the recent election. A dav spent in Evan’s stronghold was sufficient to arm the Dr. with alfida- I vits enough to keep the solicitor a busy man. 11 one half of t lie amount ot fraud li is been committed that I Dr. Rope asserts has already been reported to him. we are indeed in a ‘ ‘ ■ condition. It is the duly of every good '•iti/.eii to watch earefulh the ballot h> —the M1121111 ('barter of our liberties—and report every violn- 1 t ion of law. If Dr. Rope is in posses sion of facts, with proof to convict, he is the man to make it manifest by bringing to the light what is now dark and mysterious. I No party can long survive that dc- ; pends upon an impure ballot for its support. A right appreciation of what is just will sooner or later gain the ascendency and order it change. The right of a free mini to east Ids vote as he pleases, modified only by the fear of God and the love of colin- ! try. and to have that vote counted as I it was east, is one granted by the constitution and re.-perted and up held by every loyal citizen. What use is tlu* voting! How lias liberty been changed into license when votes arc changed or rejected to suit the : caprice or wishes of a few men! We do not know about the meth ods employed elsewhere. they niay have been crooked and the returns may. not he true, hut with us at least we neither saw nor heard of any irregularities in vo'ting and we be- cst cented.

There is likely to he a very inter est ing debate bet ween the constitu- tional lawyers in Congress as to w het her t he Rresidont exceeded his uiithority in offering to mediate be tween ('hina iind Japan wit bout sub mitting China's request that he should do so to Congress. Members of Congn-ssare beginning to arrive quite numerously, and one of the tlungs already made apparent is that the friends of the administra tion are going to have a hard time to keep 'down democratic criticism of that bond issue, whieh was after all the previous denials, otlicially an nounced "last week. Representative Railoy. of Texas, is one of the most out-spoken opponents of the bond issue and no amount of pressure will prevent his making all the fuss about it thnt he can. Theoretically Mr. Ridley s argument—that under tin- act of Is7't bonds can lie issued only for lhe purpose of getting gold to redeem greenbacks—is both legal and correct, hut practically it is very much like moon shine. Although Secretary Carlisle has upon several occasions announced that he would have no hesitation should tin* neees- hist week, siiv arrive in using part of the gold, reserve to meet ordinary obligations of t he government. it is not likely that In-will ever do so. Recause of the reason which knocks the hottoni out of Mr. Ridley's argument : Those who pay gold lor bonds to-day may to-morrow present greenbacks at the Trea-iiry or any sub-treasury and gel tie-gold they paid for bonds hack. 'Thus : he bonds issued for gold to add to the redemption fund are in reality issued for greenbacks with which to pay current expenses of the govern- iciit. and the gold reserve is so ea- chimgcd into greenbacks that could he no possible occasion [or encroaching upon it. 'There may [e doubt whether the framers of the leeic ivsumption act intended that should work this way. hut there none about its so working. If ongre-> doesn't like it. the law may repealed or amended, but until or t he ot her is done these bond lues may he forced whenever the mind for the redemption of green* •ks becomes great enough to ro- ce tin- gold below what has been k -t by the administration as thedan- r line. It really isn't the adminis- iition that decides it. It is the moil ed interest.

After saying that lie proposed 1 to introduce a resolution soon after j In- takes his seat , providing for an in vest igat ion of the means by whieh the Sherman silver law was repealed t ahd of Mr. Cleveland's connection with certain corporations and bro kers, Mr. Howard concluded a rather breezy conversation with this sensa tional language; “In other words, I mean to find out how Cleveland has amassed a fortune of millions since the close of his first term as Presi dent.

M e always laugh at great exagm r- [ alien- hut. strange to say. wc als * | sonieliuies laugh iit a great truth. J Truth is often stranger than tictiot:. A wonderful true statement liist sounds like a big lie. then ii> we n - licet upon it the idea dawns upon u> that it is a truth. This discovert produces laughter. This producing! laughter with great truths has always i been my great trouble. I have gen- | erally told such great slra ige truths thnt the people would laugh because lin t thought they wort- lies. So I have got the reputation of being a worldy-minded humorist, when in fact I am a great truth-teller. 'To illustrate: One night I was telling! about tin- big trees in Califocnia. I | said I rode into .-1 tree, a Rig hollow ! tree on horseback then walked out at the knot holes.
