HEW BALLOT LAW,
There is a bill now pending in the
House at Harrisburg providing a
simple lorm 01 tne Australian ballot
system, instead of the bothersome,
unsatisfactory blanket ballot now in
use. There should be no hesitation
in passine it. The bill was Drenared
by the Ballot Reform Association of
Pennsylvania.
The chief merit of the bill now
pending is that it does awav with .in
indefinite number of party columns
on tne ballot, grouping every candi
and requiring the voter to mark every
candidate for whom he wishes to vote.
No name appears more than once
upon the ballot, although all the party
designations for each candidate are
printed. The directions about voting
are simple and easily understood, and
independent voting is made just as
A bill so sensible in its purpose and
so simple in its application to the im
portant requirement of securing a fair
vote and an honest count should com-
mand the support of every member of
1 .11 1 . . .
Dom orancnes ot the Legislature. It
is just to all parties and interests, and
it enables each voter to declare his
unbiased choice among the candidates
presented at any election without
danger 01 being deceived or misled.
Any man who can read his ballot can
find the names of the candidate's of
his choice and those who cannot read
can be assisted by some one who can.
The bill is so great an improvement
upon im existing ballot law that there
should be no question of its enact
ment. It should be among the first
puis to oe advanced to final passage.
Haste and Greed.
The method by which the Dingley
Tariff bill has been rushed through
me ttouse ot representatives with
out even a pretense of deliberative
consideration or opportunity fnr
amendment is made the theme of
enthusiastic commendation by some
of the more radical Protectionist
journals. They will find littie sym-
pamy in tneir rejoicing among men
whose partisan zealotrv does not- opt
the better of their judgment. To admit
mat in one 01 tne most important
functions conferred unon it hv th
Constitution the House of Representa
tives is deemed incapable of judicious
legislative action is tantamount to a
practical condemnation of our political
system, i nere was no necessity for
haste. The immediate need of more
revenue was a pretense. There is
enough money in the Treasury, with
mc receipts irom day to day from
customs and internal taxation, to de
fray for a year to come, without
dollar of added taxation, even fh
enormous expenditure authorized bv
tne rncy-iourtn congress. The ordi
nary excuse for extra-parliamentary
pressure, growing out of a close bal
ance of parties in the House, did not
exist. There was nothing hphinrl th
extraordinary means adopted to push
mc iingiey pin unsnaped and undi
gested upon tne statute book except
extraordinary greed.
The measure as it stands proposes
to increase the percentage of tav nrn
dutiable articles above the enormous
rates imposed by the McKinley act,
and to curtail the McKinley free list.
There never before was such a mons
trous tariff measure in this or any other
country. Its monstrosity accounts for
tne method adopted to "jam it
tnrougn, ana tor the brazen attempt
to make it operative before del ivpru

It is now apparent that while the
"Concert of Europe" was shedding
tears out of its lelt eye, it was wink

Christian army and starving Christian
women and children.

FEEDING TRAMPS.
A woman living in Annville, a
village 01 JLebanon County, in order
to find out how many tramps she
feeds has been keepine: count of them
and reports that from the last of
jwarcn 1S90, to March 1897 she
mrnisned meals to no less than 419
weary walkers.
The statistics bring up anew the
everlasting problem of what to do with
ablebodied tramps. If they have the
aouity to work it is an outrage that
they remain a charee unon a im
munity with no return for the charity.
T a. 1 m
cut no adequate and satisfactory sys
tem of compelling them tn earn a
livelihood has yet been put in practice
anywhere. The authorities of Altoona
have recently enforced a law which
compels every tramp caught begging
wunin tne city to serve a term at hard
labor at the municipal stone pile, but
other cities have similar laws, and vet
the evil is not checked. A rigid en
forcement of the law may protect
Altoona, but' it will foist this undesira
ble class of loafers on the surrounding
towns, which will thereby suffer so
much the more.
It is often hard to discriminate he.
tween the deserving and undeserving

hearted citizens often give alms to the

healthy tramps and a hospital for the
lame and halt, this indiscriminate
charity would cease and the tramp
problem would be partially solved.
For the tramp will live iust as loner a
he can impose on the peoDle. He
will die when he is compelled to work

W. J.JjRYAN VISITS YO&K.
Addresses a Large Crowd From His Hotel
' Window.
William Jennings Bryan arrived at
York Saturday afternoon from Lin
coln, Neb., and was met at the sta
tion by ex Lieutenant Governor
Chauncey F. Black, whose guest he was
over Sunday. The crowd at the de
pot cheered Mr. Bryan. He left for
Washington, D. C, on Monday.
Mr. Bryan held a reception Satur
day evening at the Colonial Hotel.
He also addressed a large crowd of
people in Centre Square, from the
hotel window.
The Philadelphia Ledger is evident
ly in favor of keeping Dr. N. C.
bchaner in his position as Supenn
tendent of Public Instruction. It
has this to say :
"He has been capacitated fof the
duties of the position by long expert
ence as a teacher and by an intimate
knowledge of the public school system
and ot the school laws. He has proved
a most pains-taking and efficient
official. He has the advantage ol
four years experience, and a resulting
knowledge of the immediate needs of
school administration in Pennsylvania,
To disturb him in a nonpolitical office
because he happens to be a Demo
crat would be a piece of stupid blunder
ing. The State ought to hold fast to
him as long as he shall behave him
self, because he can better serve the
people than could any new man."
Makes life misery to thousands of
people. It manifests itself in many
different ways, like goitre, swellings,
running sores, boils, salt rheum and
pimples and other eruptions. Scarce
ly a man is wholly free from it, in
some form. It clings tenaciously until
the last vestige of scrofulous poison is
eradicated by Hood's Sarsaparilla, the
One True Blood Purifier.
