"Heme rule" is one of the shibboleths
of the Democratic party. North and
Seuth it pretends te be the guardian
and conservator of
the home rule prin

"Heme Rule."
ciple. Let us leek
nt a few of the
states whose Gov
ernment has re
cently been in Democratic hands, and
see hew the principle has been carried
out.
1. In New Yerk last winter, for the
first time in many years, the Legisla
ture was Democratic iu both branches
thanks te Hill and Maynard's theft of
the Senate and the Governer was also
a Democrat. The session of the Legis
lature was signalized by the passage of
bills which imposed en the people of
Trey, of Rochester aud of ether cities,
against their will and in spite of their
pretests, charters which were designed
for purely partisan ends and which te
a large extent deprive the people of con
trol ever their ewii local affairs. As for
New Yerk City, far from granting te it
any additional measure' of home rule,
n partisan election law was passed, tak
ing away equal representation in the
beard of election; an excise measure was
passed, against which most earnest pro pre
tests were made, and the infamous
"Huckleberry bill" was enacted, which
absolutely robs the city of valnable
franchises and against which even the
Mayer of the city raised his voice.
2. In New Jersey the Governer and
both branches of the Legislature have
been Democratic for two years. Within
that time the people of the state and of
several townships, cities and counties
thereof have been deliberately and sys
tematically robbed of home rule, in sev
eral most important particulars.
The privilege of voting upon appro
priations for town purposes has been
taken away from the people of several
townships, se that new they have no
voice in the levying of taxes for lecTl
purposes. The very citadel of home
rule In the Northern states the town
meeting has thus been stormed, and
the people are deprived of a right for
which their ancestors would have fought
and died rather than surrender it.
The "local option" law, passed by the
previous Republican Legislature, and by
whose previsions several whole counties,
and a large number of townships and
small municipalities had banished the
saloon from their borders, has been vlr-
'' jiually repealed, and a law passed which
fjfe places in. the hands of the Governer the
"' appointment of excise commissioners for
dysry county, who may grant licenses
U mil liquor at their pleasure, and in
Sjjjl dflarice of local sentiment.
clartera have been Impeded upon
"rfinf Vuwarlr. PatareAn. nnrt
. ..W-. - ". ...... w... ..
Passaic, designed te take nway from the
people of theso places the control of their
own local nffnirs, nnd efllcers elected by
the people have been turned out te
make way for legislative appointees. A
mero outrageous usurpation of power
has nevcr been witnessed In any state.
A mere explicit violation of all the
principles of home rule it would be
Impossible te find. And the perpetra
tion of the results of this eutrage has
been arranged for a shameless gerry
mander of legislative districts iu order
te insure, se far ns human foresight can
reach, a perpetual Democratic majority
in the Heuso of Assembly.
3. North Carolina is a state in which
the Democrats have been in power for
many years. The natural unit of poli
tical power in the Seuth is the county,
as in the North it is the township; and
a century age the people of Virginia
nnd the Carellnas were as jealous of
their county rights as of their state
rights. But the principle of centraliza
tion has overwhelmed all the Southern
states. Heme rule was never allowed
te stand in the way of Democratic su
premacy. There are a number of
counties in North Carolina which are
Republican, aud if nllewed te elect their
own efllcers would actually cheese Re
publicans. In order te "down tlie
Radicals" the principle of home rule
was ruthlessly violated, and the people
of all the counties deprived of control
ever their local affairs. The Legislature
took upon itself the power of appointing
the magistrates in each county, and in
turn gave te these creatures of its own
the appointment of county commission-'
ers. These again appoint the efllcers of
election. In each precinct two judges
of election are appointed by the beard
of commissioners for the county, one
judge from each party. The peeple
have nothing te say about it. The
party caucuses or committees have noth
ing te say. The beard appoints one
white Democrat as judge of election in
each precinct, and for the Republican
inspector may, and often does, appoint
an ignorant negre, who can neither read
nor write, who has neither the Intelli
gence te knew whether his side is being
cheated nor the moral or physical
courage te pretest if he did knew.
Further, these county commissioners
have absolute power ever excise matters,
and at their pleasure may grant every
license that is applied for, or refuse te
graut any licenses at all. Only once in
two years the peeple of the county, if
enough of them petition for it, are
kindly allowed te vete en the license
question. Fer the rest of the time the
commissioners, who are the creatures of
the magistrates, who in turn are the
creatures of the Legislature, have the
power in their own hands.
4. Rut In Flerida even such vestiges
of home rule as exist in New Jersey
fir rertn Carolina have been swept
away. In that state net even the city
of Jacksonville is allowed te elect its
own Mayer or appoint Its own police
men. The reason is simply because the
city has a Republican majority, and se
has the county. As for the counties,
they have no rights that the Legislature
respects. The election efllcers are
net only legislative appointees, but they
may be, and usually are, all of one
political party. Election returns are
absolutely worthless In Flerida, and
elections are a mere form. The neces
sary number of votes can be, and often
is, determined beforehand by the Demo
cratic bosses, and the casting of the
ballets has nothing whatever te de with
the declared result of the election.
These are sample states, two in the
North aud two iu the Seuth, which show
hew much of real regard the Democratic
party has for the principle of home rule,
and te what lengths that party will go
in depriving the people of all control
ever thelr own local affairs, whorever it
considers such robbery desirable for
the perpetuatien of Demecrats in office.
If there is a voter In the United States
who supports the Democratic party bo be bo
canse he regards It as the champion of
home rule, let him examine the facts,
and he will find that no outrage en the
home rule principle Is tee glaring, no
robbery of local liberlties tee audacious
or tee wholesale for the Democratic
pqrty te commit for the purpose of gain
ing or retaining the spoils of efflee.

that en lifting the lid a bunch of double

and only failed of serious results by
reason of the powder becoming scattered
through the box in transit through the
malls. The young woman escaped with

located in Churles M. Fink, n love-sick
gentian tailor, whom the maiden had
rejected. He wrote her several letters,
each one being "n last geed-bye," re
buking her for her coldness, and con
taining specimens of the very worst
original poetry ever written. The man
is regarded by his usseciates as a crank.
The last time she refused hitn he prom prem

turned ever te the U. S. Ofliclnls, and
will be tried for violating th postal
laws by sending explosives through the

Strangely enough, a lady with whom
Miss Tayler lived laughingly prophesied
the contents of the box, net thinking
her prophecy would be fulfilled. As
she handed her the box she bald "Loek

tiling exploded.
