The Report Of The Bristol Election Commi...
whitewashing the accused is a fine example of the ingenuity of the Honourable House of Commons . When we read once more the almost invariable sentence in the report of the Comlad mittee who , we went cannot about help naked being with reminded a Bibl of e under the story her of arm the and old when y remonstrated with by the police , declared that she was , invisible . It is fortunate that the police in this case were not as credulous as Election Committees of the House of Commons . The abolition of bribery , like that of all long-cherished evils , must be effected by a severe and determined effort of Public . Opinion . The men who bribe and are bribed would probably bribery not and prived p is ick of punished be a all pocket imprisoned rights , b because y of the citizenshi for treadmill not picking less p . for than Let pockets a term every three is varying one month considered convicted s , from and low five de of - , to thirty years ; let the man convicted of receiving a bribe be deprived of the right of voting for the rest of his life , and we shall soon see corruption take its proper place among other criminal offences . It will not be then , like smoking , a bad habit encouraged by custom ; persons who have any character or position will be honest , because it will be disgraceful to be dishonest . Above all , let those who are in earnest on this question use every means they can to elevate the poorer classes to a noble sense of independence by encouraging habits of economy , and facilitating , in every way , the formation of funds which may make them independent of ^ misfortune to a certain extent . This is real charity ; for there is nothing which makes people so careless or dishonest with regard to money as pay the practice as soon of as living they get from it . hand "When to money mouth— represents spending to all a their man habits of consistent and noble self-denial , he will be loth to degrade it by making it the price of his independence .
