It is World-Wide.—Political corruption is not confined to the United States. They have a political term in Canada called “wireless telegraphy.” It means the art of impersonating voters and so casting illegal ballots. The Montreal Star says, “An honest election has become such a rare thing in Canada in recent years, that to speak of the people governing the country is satire. Between telegraphing, ballot-box stuffing and robbing, and the other fraudulent practises, the voice of the people has very little to do with the result of elections.”—From England comes news of rascals preying upon the government in connection with the South African war, and France and Spain and all the rest of the world know more or less of that condition of things which presages sooner or later certain ruin.
