They have become so expert at it, and have so thoroughly mastered it in all its details that they have practicany a monopoly of the business.

It is an old game repeated whenever emergency requires it, or. whenever it may Ds necessary to divert publi? attention from the real isshed of the day. : In the last political campaign in Ohio we had a striking illustration ot the dirt-throwing dodge when For- alter hatched up that j ballot-box Murat Halstead by! which l it was fraud, and he and concocted the plai to be sprung on th public when it would do the most good.

The best solu tion nf this problem, in my judgment, will be found in Christianizing negroes. In some sections of the country, if re portSiare true, their religion has degen erated into a kind of fetishism, and is entirely emotional, devoid of all religi ous restraints and obligations.
