Populism in No Sense a Representative of True Democracy The Departure j of the-Democratic Party from Demor cratic Ideals. Frank Nash in Charlotte Observer. Both the Democratic and Popa- list parties claim to" apply con cretely the abstract principles of democracy. The Populists claim isof course, mere pretense. It is the most powerful and most ag gressive representative in this country of collectivism as opposed to the individualism of democracy. It professes to be the special ad vocate of a government by - the people, yet is itself dictated to by a coterie of self-seeking politi cians. It declares that a majority must rule, yet in the history of this country there never has been a small minority party which has so hampered, if it did not totally prevent, "beneficial legislation. It proclaims that it will purify the public service and public life, yet, since reconstruction, there has not been so corrupting an influence in State ad national politics. It is in no sense, then, a representa tive of true democracy, let it, is admitted tat it has a. reason for existence, to the rank and file of its own followers, in what they couceive to be the errors, if not op pressious, of the two old parties. This conception being honest, though vague o'ten and nearly always erroneous, is entitled, in dealing with them, to respectful consideration. That the Populist party should obtain a respectable following in this State is, I believe, to a great degree, due to the departure of the Democratic party not only from Democratic ideals, but from the principles of common fairness if not of common morality. I can see very well that an overwhelm ing public necessity in South Caro lina or Mississippi, justify strin gent election laws, which exclude rom the ballot box a large number of an ignorant 'majority; or even n the absence of these laws, might make force or fraud at the ballot box a venial offense. But I can see nothing in the condition of North Carolina which could ex cuse, much less justify either the one or the other. A large white majority, an admirable county government system, which placed he management of the county's financial affairs and its justices' courts in the hands of the best citi zens, together with a wholesome and well-nigh universal distrust of the negro's capacity, either as a financier or legislator, left him no offices that he could be elected to, except member of the Legisla ture from a few counties and Con gressman from a district or two. Filling these he could do no harm indeed, I am informed that under the old regime the negro legisla tors showed an inclination, oat side of party Questions, to act with the better element of the Democratic party. Not content that he should-have even the mo dicum of political right, however. legislative tinkering and hallot box manipulating soon deprived him of it. Then it was that the Democratic party sowed the wind, which it is now reaping in the form of a whirlwind. Many Dem ocrats, either from disgust or care iessness, knowing the matter would be fixed anyhow, failed to vote, got out of the habit of voting, and when the crash came were not doing their part to prevent it. ; Again, the' county Vgovernmen system, excellent as it was, essen tial, in fact, to the well-being o the eastern counties,: as was ad mitted by its ; foes, was itself, a departure from Democratic ideals and bo gave foundation for the at tacks 61 the theorists : among these modern apostles of true democra cyl" the Populif tsi; -in its admin istration, tooj ' active -Democratic politicians, mostly lawyers, , were not as considerate as jdesired o would-be active politicians,; who were not lawyers. Indeed I Vhave beard said - that many. Demo cratic county conventions met simn piy toregisxerine qonceiveu- man date of a town clique;: whether or not true I do not know. ' ; Another departure irom :Demo- cratic ideals which gafeoccasion to the attacks of both theorists and practical politician among the Populists. The other charges of the Popu lists against ;the Democracy of the State are mere froth and fury, signifying nothing, so it is not necessary to examine them in de tail. In national politics, however, the Democratic party conforms its principles more nearly to the dem ocratic ideal than either of its competitors. Even its vices arej but virtues carried to a vicious ex treme. The taint of greenbackism some years ago it contracted from the people, aud it declared for both greenbackism and free coin age last year at the demand of what it thought the popular voice. But true Democracy is essentially conservative. Not only its ideal, but its mission, is to protect pri vate property, as well as personal liberty. Any departure, then, from this ideal by the Democratic party is a departure from the true democracy, and such the conserva tism of the country last year re garded its demand for free coin age. And part of this conserva tism, knowing that protection was so interwoven into our industrial system that a return to a tariff for revenue only could not be had im mediately without great disaster, preferred to bear the ills' they had than to fly to those they knew not of, and voted for McKinley, still calling themselves Democrats. By this they may have departed from the democracy, but they did so to prevent, as they thought, the country itself from making, under Mr. Bryan's leadership, a still greater departure. BIBLE TERMS.

J ' " '''--.'2?r : .. - The. Election Laws ot' th Jarioua btateti -Registration and,Porm of the Ballots. New York Sao.- - " y . Mr. Johfl CvHonk hai performed a nsefal and interesting task in compiling he provisions of the election laws of all the States of the Union, and presenting the re sult in a document which Congress has caused to be published. During the last ten years, or since the Australian system of bal lotingbegan to mate its way here, nnder the leadership ot Michigan, there have'been many eb2ne&Ja the election laws.. The first point we have to note is that usually nowadays no prepayment of poll tax is required. THe exceptions are Arkansas and Florida; Penn sylvania, as to the State and county tax; Delaware, the county tax; Oregon, school taxes; South Caro lina, all poll dues; Georgia, all taxes since 1871; Mississippi, all taxes for two years. Next as to registration. None at all is required in New Hamp shire, Vermont, Indiana, South Dakota, Oregon, and Arkansas. In Maine, Ohio, Illinois Wiscon sin Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Ne braska, North Dakota, Washing ton, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Texas it is limited or confined to certain counties or cities. In Rhode Island it is limited to per sons not paying a tax. In Penn- duced by Senator Butler, by- re sylvania and West Virginia it is quest: general, except for schools. Id all thfl other State, it nreTaila throughout the State. How is it with the official ballot? As a rule, it is general, that is, "printed by the State or county. throughout the State." But in New York, Illinois, Iowa, South Dakota, Montana and Washing- ton it is- "general except for scbools," in Tennessee and Texas t is limited, or printed by the State or county only in certain counties, while in North Carolina and Georgia there is an unofficial ballot for each party, and in South Carolina also an unofficial one, 2x5 inches in size. Now as to the form of the bal lot. The geueral usage is to have acolumn for each party in which only the names of its candidates arA nrintd Rnt Florida. Ala- bama, Mississippi and Arkansas have no party column or group so printed. Connecticut and New Jersey have an official ballot for each party. New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Minnesota, Ne- braska, Wyoming, Utah, Wash ington, Oregon, Nevada, Virginia, Tennessee, and Louisiana hat "a group of electors" in the party or group column. Can a candidate's politics be placed against his name? It can be in New Hampshire, Vermont, Indiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Wash ington, Oregon, Nevada, Califor nia, and Arkansas; and Louisiana, excentfor electors: and in Wis cousin it can be so placed for "in dividual nominations." The party emblem, familiar in New -York, is still less generally al lowed, Delaware, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Colorado, Utah, Mary land and Kentucky beinc the only other States that permit it, -except in North Carolina, where its use is optional. How are the ballots marked? The X or cross is also universal. Iu'the two Caroliuas and in Geor gia, however, there is no provision for marking, and in Connecticut and New Jersey the rule is not to mark' except to scratch. In Mis souri, Virginia, West Virginia and Arkansas the voter scratches the names not voted, and . both scratching and marking is option al from the fact that in all those States provision is made for one mark for a straight ticket.-Iff New -Hampshire,- Massachusetts, and Rhode Island one mark for. a straight ticket is allowed for elect ors only.'In Massachusetts, Dela ware, Indiana, Michigan and Cal ifornia the authorities fnnish a stamp and ink pad with which; to maketbe X. Maryland furnishes I an indelible pencil, and in Loo- . ... " ... , -' V ... ..,'" j rubber stamp obliterate, a .circoUr white spot in,, a black aare opf.oaite eaeb name voted , . . I mr. v no ie,w exceptions, instruc tion of voters .or a suitable ballot is furnished, and, in moat case, both. In most States, also, the voter is asssisted, "if he cannot read,' iu case of "physical or mental disability," and in a few the law requires an educational qualification Thus, in Connecti cut, the voter is to -be assisted only in enveloping bis tickets and there the voter roast b 9 able to mad. In' Massachusetts he must be able to rad and write, unless a voter before 1857; in Mississippi, to read or construe the conatitu stitution, and the same rule will apply to South Carolina, as wr understand, next year. Only a few htates require the presenting of a tax receipt or reg istration certificate. Most of them have laws regulating primary elec tions at leaft to the extent of pre scribing penalties for fraud, but some have very limited rules iu this respect. In Connecticut and New Jersey the ballot most be put in an envelope. THE STATJTPRINITNG. Teit of the Bill Introduced by Sena tor Ratler Chaujrinz the Law jn (iivins: Out the Public Printing Contract.
