as the population of the village, ac.

THE MAUI-111qt AT WORK,
THE LAW CHANGED FOR PROTEC-
TION OE CRIMINALS.
The first fraud by the machine
against which the people muse he on
guard in this election, says the Mail
and Empire, will be attenlpted in con.
neetioo with the regiserabion of meals
hood suffrage voters in cities and '
tration, The clean Government party
in New York has fought against this
manoeuvre with some degree of suc-
cess, but the thing is done at all dee
-
tions, and as a consequence the power
of tbe machine is strengthened. For
the Ontario Government the same
fraud has been practised. But it bas
been reedered somewhat hazardous
hitherto by the fact that the applicant
for registration has been required to
take an affidavit setting forth that his
qualifications are such as he alleges
them to be, and that he has nob regis-
tered in any other place. The affi-
davit is quite welcoixte to the honest
man. In filet, ib defends his Tette.
But it stands in the way of the :ma-
chine worker, because it renders him
liable to prosecution for perjury, and
to a penitential sentence. At the last
election in Welland experts were em-
ployed by the Ontario maclaine to reg-
ister fraudulently at Niagara Falls
and to vote for the Government nom-
inee. Two rascals were arrested after
they had taken a false oath, and were
cbarged with perjury. They were
assisted to get out of the country,
however, and escaped. The machine
has elecide'l that trouble of this kind
shall not occur again. At the last
session of the Legislature Attorney -
General Gibson introduced. a bill, and
the majority forced ie into law, re-
lieving the voter who registers person-
ally of the necessity of taking the
oath, and thus protecting the "coloniz-
ers" or fraudulent applicants from the
danger of prosecution for perjury.
This new lam has gone into operation,
As a consequence the machine can
lead its colonizers into the registra-
tion booths and register them freely
unless some one insists that they be
sworn. Then it can send them to the
polling booths and vote them. It is
calculated thee the representatives of
the clean Government party will not
be inclined to insist upon the oath,
because electors are as a rule offeres
when sworn unless the law required
them to take an affidavit. For this
reason bunches of "Repeaters" or "col-
onists," are expected to get through.
This is fraud No.1 which the machine
will practise and for which Attorney -
General Gibson's new law leads the
way.
The law, in that it is designed to
save the naa.chinise from the charge of
perjury . and from the penitentiary,
shows the connection between the
Government and the machine. It in-
dicates how responsive the Govern-
ment is to the demands of instru-
ments of fraud which elects its condi-
dates, In the registration it will be
necessary to be on the alert for the
perpetrators of the offence, to whom
the Government has extended its stat-
utory protection. The stuffing will
not be delayecl until polling day. It
will open at the registration booths,
and it will be practised there unless
great care be taken, because the
Gevernment has removed the punish-
ment which it ought to bring.

NERVOUS AND SLEEPLESS
There is just one cure and that ie
plenty of food for the blood and nerv-
es, which is best supplied M Ferro -
zone, than which no blood builder,
nerve tonic or strength producer is
better. Ferrohozone promotes healty
digestion, which results in improved
nutrition. The blood grows rich and
red, farnishes stability to the entire
system, and the store of nerve force
and energy increased daily. A. re-
building of the constitution, new
spirits, health and strength all come
from the use of Ferrozone. This mar-
velous renovator is sold by Druggists
for 50c a box, or six boxes for $2,50.
