WHAT NEOLECT DOES.
A writor in the Phlladelphia Ledgcr
makes some startllng dlsclosures in re
gard to fraudulent trnnsactions in tho
-'"l'ate electlon. Ho doclitres that 40,000
lilegai. yotes v,-ere east by whnt ho ealls
tho polltlcal "gang." Ho further de
clarcs that there was n compact between
tho Republlcans and Democrats by whlch
a Democrat in one of tho Republlcan dls
trlcts wns elected.
ln order to show how theso frauds woro
committc-d we reproduco tho followlng
contrnct from hls letter.
To my knbwledge of the methods of tho
ilhachlhe on electlon days thero wore ovor
.1,500 JUegltlmate votes east in tho Twen
-My-slxth Ward alone; 500 of thoso votes
iwero stuffed in the ballot boxes of two
dlvlsions of sald wafd.
Tho way thls is done is very easy
when tho mlnorlty olection oifleers of
the board aro flxed and with tho gang in
tho game.
Here is the way it is done: A 11st of
the Btay-at-homo voters in a dlvlslon ls
reglstercd on tho tally shcets of the
clorks of both Inspectors of the electlon
board; then lho Judge of eloction gives
tbemtunfbrs'of.A'he ballot box a sufficlcnt
nmouiu of ballots io be markod up and
placed lllegally ln the box. '". .
i.l
Thoro nro several very Interesting nnd
tmportant lessons to be learned from
thls lncident. but that to whlch we will
speclal nttention is tho fact thnt If theso
40,000 Btay-ot-homes had gone lo tlie
polls and voted thero had been no op
portunlty for these frainls, but ns they
were not ln thelr places on electlon dny
tbe rlngsters voted thom to vorder ln
tho interest of the macblne. Thnt is the ,
? great danger in our form of government,
'tbe danger of Indifforenco. When tim
people are tboroughly olive to thelr po:
litiCiil Interests and tako nn activc part
ln elecllons and ln tho conduct of tho
publlc nitalrs, thero is llttle chanco for
'trk-ky polltlclana to get in thelr work.
Hut when the peoplo do not take nn
Interest in thelr affnh-a nnd do not at?
tend polltlcal mc-etlngs nnd nominalllig
conventlons and eppeclally when thoy do
not go to tlie polls on eloction day, tho
rlngsters havo thelr own way and thoy
are qulte sure to mako the most nf tholr
advuntage aud to tnrn it lo thelr own
aecount,
These votera ln Pliiludfclphbi'who stay
ed ut homo on electlon day furnlshed to
the rlngsters tho opportunity whlch they
so much deslrotl and gave tho rlngsters
tlie opportunity to vote them us so many
dumb catUe.
The rlngsters oiight to be pu'nlshed for
thelr mledolngo, but ivhat right imvo tho
Btay-at-hornefl t<> compjaln? lt was their
own faiilt that they dld not go.lo tho
polls and enst a voto, theli' own fault
thnt thls opportunity wus glven the
rlngsters. The cltlzen who pursues such
a eourae must put t% very low t-.illinato
on his right or franchlso.

SCHOOL DISCIPLINE IN SOUTH
CAROLINA '
Reuben Pitts, prlnclpal of a hlgh school
located about fifteon. mllos from Spar
tnnburg, S. C.j.Is in Jail for shooting one
of hls pupils. i Hls story Is thnt ho was
trylng to dlscipllno ono of tho blg boys,
when threo of the lad's conipnnlons rush
ed to hls asslstnnco. Tho tencher drew
a plstol to hold tho boys at bay, but. ono
of them knocked-tho plstol down, caus
lng lt lo explode. Tho ball entePed the
boy's abaomen,. lnfJjctlng a fatal wound.
Tho most curious part of tho story is
that tho toacher clalms that it waa neces?
sary for hlm to toto a plstol in the school
room, hecauso ho was physlcally unable
lo copo with the larger boys, and wa3
coriipolled; to carry tho wea'p'pn1 for hls
own' nroteotlon!
That beats the old timos, when the
tencher was a tyrant and onforced hls
rlgld rules by injurious applicatlon of
tho hlckory. Wo knew this teacher
well. Wo havo seen hlm thrash the
boys untll great wolps wero raised upon
them. We havo seen hlm beat them in
tho hnnd wlth a paddle. We have seen
him throw them down and choko them.
We havo seen hlm throw books at tho

Cnrolinlan. Teachlng school wlth a gnn!
That is neW to us.

no valid objectlon offered to tho Torrens
system. "Indeod," adds our contempor
ary, "If there ls any opposltlon to it in
tho State wo have falled to -noto It.
Tho press is a unlt in Its favor, and
we believe that lf tho system were
adopted It would provo excepttonally
popular wlth the people ot tho Stato."
Somo of the most prominent cltlzens
of Rlehmond nre henrtlly ln favor nf lt,
and wo bellovo tbo roal estate agents nre
ununlmous ln Its favor.
In J'uno, 1001, the Torrons commltteo
of tho Chlcngo Real Estate Board, re?
ported a "steady growth ln tho use of
tho Torrons system." Acconipnnyhig

' Thls lottor was slgned hy moro than
