The Republican Ring s.j "rote the Republican ticket this Fall and ir we are sacceaaful the next 1'itsiJeLt Judge will bo our." A Ll'.KUNK county iau wants the Governor to set apart a "sparrow day" when, a wholesale oualaughter will be made on the little pests. TriE Republican liiog say they Lav money enough raised to buy all the Totea needed thia Fall to beat the Dem ocrats. All that is wanting is to come on and get your cash. The finance committee of the New York world's fair recommends a pre liminary fund of fo.Oiw.OUO, to be sup plemented by a Urgar one when necessa ry legislation Ins be. n becured. At the Indianapolis, Indiana, city election held on Tuesday last, thw city went Djmjcralic. an exact reversa 1 of its former political status. President Ilarridoo'a own city Las gone back on the g. o. ix Connecticut voted on a Prohibitory Amendment on Monday. The Amend ment was defeated by a vote of about 3 to 1. The election was conducted un der the secret ballot system which ia pronounced a success. One of the prominent members of the Republican Ring is doing a great deal of tniveline just now. He says "beat the Democratic county ticket this Fall and 1 will be one of the mem fcers of the next legislature from this county." Secretary Noble, when questioned by a reporter od Saturday about how soon a successor to Commissioner Tan ner would likely be appointed, declined to say anything further than that the position had not been tendered to any one since Major Warner's declination. Hon. R. (fc. Mills, of Texas, Chair man of the Wajsabd Meaus Committee was in Washington on Monday and iu a conversation said '"that tbicgh in the the minority, the Democrats were ruiiy conscious of their power, and ! would us it. "We do not propose," said he. "that the Republicau mnjuity shall pass a fciuule m-asure without our New England wants free raw ma terial and ia preparing to make the de mand on Congress.

Tun Italiars of New Yotk have been notified by their Government thai it will co operate with Ihi'ui in every way to procure a suitable status of Christo pher Columbus for presentation to tbe ity of New York. Tuc aifctue will be of gigantic size, made by an Italian sculptor of Carrara marble, and will cost J20.00U. Prtmier Crispl has con tributed to the project. A statement prepared at the reu nion O.'lice shows that the number of certificates for original pensions issued during the months of July, August and "September, 1S33, was 8,705, and during the corresponding months of the pre sent year, 13.GG0. The certificates is sued during the last three months were as follows: July, 4,303 ; August, 2,231, and September, 3.120. It has been asserted that money enough was sent to Montana to buy a complete Republican victory. It having been assumed that the purchase of votes in Montana would not prove more costly than in Indiana or West Vir ginia. The result is disappointing. The Democrats have wiped cut the Re publicau majority of 5000 and carried the State except for Congressman. The stumbling block in the pith way of the vote-buyers was the Austraiisn ballot system. consent. For instance, you may depend upon it that the rules of the House will not be changed by the Republican majority in any essential feature. We do not propose to permit them to be changed, as is desired by Mr. Reed and others, in any particular feature. Nor will we permit any of the proposed leg islation looking to a control by Con gress of the elections, for we see very plainly what the purpose of that is. The same can be said of the contest cases that will come up before Congress. IVe do not propose to let tbe Republi can majority be further increased ad libitum, by throwing out Democratic members, as B?ems to be the purpose. In other words, we propose to exer cls control of the Ilonee just as much as thoiirb we were still in toe majority, because we kno our minority Is strong tnojgh to make us the virtual rulers. " A decision of I.rd Commissioner Groff, Irufly reported hy Ulrgrapb, says the Tniiad'slphi J?tcorJ. has an im portance extending far beyond the indi vidual case to which It relates. A land! office in Minnesota decided that one Ilanselin, who had taken np land nnder the Homestead laws but bad not com plied with their provisions, was not en- titled to hold against another claimant. Instead of nuking an actual residence up hi !he Und within six rnorrba after "i-di'e of c'ty, as rqired by the laws, b bad oo y mtd occasional vis its to it. Commissiooei Gioff overruled the local laDd office, and la doing so es tablished the precedent that the actnal and bona fide residence enjoined by the Ilomes'ead laws Is not necessary for the acquirement of lands nnder those laws. This decision, ir its import be cor rectly given, will be balled with delight by the cattle lanch syndicates and other land grabbers who are seizing the pub lic domain under various sections of the laws. The strict enforcement of the Homestead and Pre emption laws under Cleveland's administration effectually interrupted the plans of these earth hungerers. But the action of Land Commissioner Groff bas smoothed away a very serious obstacle la their path. They have only to make entries opoa the public domain under the Homestead laws in the names of their cowboys to make occasional visits to the lands in order to establish legal residence. The Nebraska attorney who has len placed by President Harrison in control familiar with the practice under the Homestead laws, keenly recognizes bow much their "technical" provisions em bairass the land grabbers. He there fore dt c'.ies In the case of a poor tquat ter that an occasional visit will satisfy the requirement of the laws in regard ' to a six month rf sijence ; aod this de- ! cision will latin all the cnttle sjutlicates j that are usurping possession of the Western domain. The first decision of Lcd Commis sioDerGroff indicates that "Tannsrism" is not confided by any means to the Pension Bureau. Commissioner Grcfl Is quite as liberal which the public lands as Corporal Tanner was with the public money. What with the rulings of the Treasury Department, the Land Office and the Pension Bureau, the officials of this Government are doing all that lies in their power to remove all traces of the reformatory work of Cleveland's administration. At tbe annual meeting of the Nat ional Civil Service Reform League In Philadelphia on Tuesday of las: week, Mr. George William Curtis devoted his addrees to a discussion of tbe record of the Republican party and General Har rison in enforcing the Civil Service laws. His conclusion is that rxth Gen eral Harrison and tbe party have vie lated their pledges in a way so shauie less as to be without parallel iu tbe his tory of the country. Mr. Curtis lays especial stress upon the fact that both the party and the President were pledged in the most un equivocal way to enforce the Civil Ser vice laws. It would be different if their declarations in this re?pect had been less explicit. But General Harrison, both when In tbe Senate and when a ! candidate, had pledged himself to the support or these laws, as did also tbe Republican party in their national con ventions, and during tbe whole of Mr. Cleveland's Administration. The Civil Sarvice record of the party and tbe Administration is simply a record of broken pledges. "No party," says Mr. Curtis, "ever broke faith with Itself and thd country more complete ly." But the President is just as guilty as the party. He sits supinely while Mr. Clarkson removes lo, 000 postmas ters in six months. Mr. Curtis believes that there is a public sentiment In favor of Civil Ser vice Reform that will become so strong that it will force parties to respect It. Perhaps so, but it will not be during the present Adrc-Disf ration. Public sentiment is not like'y to Lavu much lrtluetce wltb President Harrison, when it does not strike bis determina tion to make Law Partner Miller a Su pre me Court Judge. The Uoited Labor League, of Pbila de'phia, says the Harrisburg J'afrt'of, j has endorsed tbe Australian ballot sys tem and, at its meeting on Tuesday last, a committee was appointed to ak Speaker Boyer why be voted against the bill at tbe last session. The reply of Speaker Boyer to the in quiry of tbe United Labor Lr ague will be that he voted against making tbe Australian bill a special order and not attalnst tho bill itself. This will be the merest evasloc, but it will be the test ! he can do. Nobody conversant with the manner in which 1-gisUtion was manipulated in tbe two Houses of the Legislature last winter can have any doubt that if Boyer, Andrews aud Delmater had not been opposed to ballot reform the Aus tralian election bill would have become a law. The United L-bor L?ague, doubtless, knows as much. Even allowing Republican claims for tbe elections in the new States, some of which are far from being beyond dis pute, both branches of Congress will still be close. The Senate will stand 45 Republicans and 3J D. mocra's. and the House 1G9 Republicans and 161 Democrats. There is a fair chance that the House majority now claimed by the Republicans may be reduced to six by the official canvass. There is good rea son to expect Democratic control of both branchf s of the Fifty second Con gress. As a result of the Flack divorce case, the judges of the Supreme Court of New Yoik city have corns out against secret divorce proceeings. At the suggestion of JudBe Birrett a meeting of the judges was held on Wednesday, which was attended Ly every judge on tbe bench. The result of tbe meeting is that henceforth there will bs uo refer ences in the actions for absolute di- l yorce, and they will be tried in open coctl at the special teim. THE AUSTRALIAN Tbe Australian system of voting, so called because first used in Australia, has teen for several years in successful operation ther, and, with non-essential variations, in England, Scotland, Ire'aLd and Canada. It has also been adopted in Massachusetts, where it goes into effect in 1SS0. Its principal objects are to prevent bribery and in timidation, to place all candidates upon an equality before the law, and to undermine the dangerous powers of po Iiclcal machines. The sys'.em will be readily understood by reference to the accompanying draws ing. The voter, upon entering the polling place, turua to his right at the point marked "entrance'' where he receives, from two election officers selected'from opposing political parties, a single ballot or a stnta st of billots according to tbe local custom of voting. On the back ii indorsed a stamp or signature, sufficient arid ooly sufficient to identify the ballot as official ; and on the face are plainly printed the Barnes of the candidates for each office, with a desig nation of their respective political par ties, after this manner : 'or Mayor. John !.. Vote for On. Iftmot ratic. iVo.itotioit. ,Kieuarl !. ( yor Connv-m. t Vote f-r I ro. Vrmoaatic. I'rohiifitton. lu,Utndent. Harrey Mint. jSlsrtin Kawugo I W. biuixuo. Sililurl Blsy. Having received his ballot the voter enters ote or tbe booths back of the railing, where, secludtd from observa tion, be prepares the ballot by placing in the blauk. column a cross opposite the name of each candidate for whom he de sires to vo e ; or, if h prefers, by writ ing tbe names of candidates of his own nomination in place of those already there. If there are several candidates for the same kind of office, as coroners in the sample ballot above, or presiden tial electors, and be wished to vote the "straight" tick-t of hu pny, he places tbe cross under the name of the party, or draws it through tbe space in tte blank column alloted to the party's can lidates, wbich signifies that be votes for each candidate named in that space. Thus, io tb simple ballot, a cross un der tbe word "Democratic," or through the first two spaces of the b'ank column to the right, is one yote each for Alex ander Jacobs and Harvey Sylvester. Arter preparing his ballot by indi cating every candidate for whom he vote:, the voter folds it in such a man ner as to conceal the face and expose tbe indorsement, and withdrawing from the booth, gives the ballot to the in spectors, who identify it by the indorse ment as official. It is then deposited in tbe box ar.d tbe voter passes oui at the gate marked "exit." From the time he receives bis ballot until he casts It, tbe voter is permitted to bave do communication with any one but the election efficers. and with them only for official purposes ; and only elec tion officers and persons actually engae- ' rd in vo .ing are ever admitted within the ! railing. j Upon proof of inability from physical ! infirmity or illiterancy, a voter may call into the boi h officers appointed and sworn for tbe putpwe, to aid him in preparing bis ballot ; and when a ballot is accidentally destroyed or defaced it most be excharged for a dean one. The importance of the latter require ment may not at once be apparent ; but to s-cur secrecy every ballot delivered to a voter must bs either cast or re turned. This explains tbe necessity for indorsing ballots. But for the indorse ment a blank paper outwardly resemb ling a ballot might be cast by a voter, who would then be able surreptitiously to carry away an official ballot. Thia could be prepared for a bribed voter, the proof of its use being his production of a s-cxrul official billot. That could be s'milaily prepared and used, and so on. Such a fraud, as tbe "Tasmaniau dode," was successfully p-rpetra'ed iu Australia io the early days of the system : but its repetition was prevent ed by requiring ballots to be officially Indorbed. As it is essential that ballots be print ed at public expense and distributed by public officers, tbe system must include some mode or certifying nomirations to the proper autnomities a reasonable time before elections. That proposed ly the Yates-Saxtou bill of New York was perhaps as convenient as could be desired. Under it. State nominations were to be certified fifteen days, and lo cal nominations ten days before elec tion ; nominations of a political party wbich at the next preceding election polled three per cent, of the whole vote were to be certiGed by pirty officers ; and independent nominations, if for a State mce were to oe certiued by a thousand voters and if for a local office by a hundred. A brief explanation of the way in which this si stem effects its objects cannot anticipate or answer captious otjections, but will be useful to caudid inquirers Penal laws are ineffectual to prevent bribery and intimidation. The prima ry remedy is a secret ballot. And this is best secured when the only proof of an elector's vote is bis own uncorrobor ated assertion. . Under tbe Australian system no other proof can be made. That fact gives to tbe moat timid among dependent voters a sense of security which makes blm free. And to bribery it is fatal. Bribers are not likely to in vest money on the faith of a bribed man's naked serticn : it there be such a virtue as "honesty among thieves," it is not acceptable security to tbe thieves themselves. But tbe secrecy, though tbe primary remedy for bribery and Inaimidation, is not ail that is required to purify elec tions, nor tbe only remedy the Austra lian system offers. Tbe printing and distribution of bal lots is a most important part of tbe election machinery, and, left to private enteiprise, luevitably tends, as does the farming out of any other public func tion, to breed corruption and build np monopoly. It makes a necessity for ir responsible organizitions which come to wield autocratic power oyer the po litical party they claim to serve, and in turn, through discipline almost military in its severity, are dominated by an in ner circle of "leaders." As ballots can neither be printed nor distributed with out money, aud may not ba faithfully bandied unless trusty workers are re warded with more than an election dav stipend, tbe organization undertaking the wotk bas a plausible if cot reasooa- BALLOT SYSTEM. ble claim for money from its beneficial aries and official patronage from iu re ttinerd. It is tbe necessity of raising these funds and employing these "work ers" that jestifles assessments, gives color of voluntary contributions to what in truth are sales of nominations, ex cuses the submission of official patron age to tbe distribution of tbe machine, provides ample cover for collecting a corruption fund, and, through "work- era" at tbe polls a convenient channel for disbursing tbe funds in bribes. And as corruption funds increase, masked in increasing demands for legitimate expenses, assessments grow, tbe price of nominations rises, independence is shacklei. aud tbe organuatlon becomes more indifferent to parly principle as its monopoly of political power strength ens.

U develops into a pow erful io-ttrument, which, in tbe bands of political jobbers, enables them to buy and Bel! office, "as the Pjr.orins sold the Roman purple." Already, poor men rarely obtain political advancement without assuming obligations to be re deemed by official peifiiity, and the ob stacles to una!l:td caiididary bave be come so great as ottm to prevent and always to d.scjurge indrpeudeot nom inations. This political monster woutd be de stroyed by tbe "Australian system. It the State assumed it function of pro viding ballots, there would be no neces sity for "workers" at the polls, and tbe exense for raising, as well as tbe best mode of using, corruption funds would disappear. Assessments could not then be levied upon candidates, for when "workers" at the polls are not required, machines can neither serve nor irjure. Nor would nominations be sold ; for when candidates stand upon an equality in respect to ejection machinery, and there is no opportunity for bribing vo ters, orgamzitions merely as organiza tions, have nothing worth buying, while ! organizations as representatives of principles cannot be approached through commercial channels. Traffickicg in office would be replaced by political dis- i cu.ision. lha power of the machine by the voice of the party. Tbe evils of machine organization and the remedy of tbe Australian system, are summarized as follows by William M.

I To this system it is objected that by requiring nominations to be made in advance of elections It denies the con stitutional right of voters to select ean didates from the whole body of voters. From such eminent authorities as JolgesCooly, McCrary and Folger. and the highest courts of Pennsylvania. Massachusetts and New York, it may be safely inferred that a restriction of the franchise to candidates nominated a short time before election is a reason able refutation and cot an unconstitu tional interference ; but the interfer ence is not necessary, since the system allows each vo'er to reject all candi cates and write new names upon his ballot. It is objected, also, that by requiring iue uuaii aria illiterate to expose their vote to election officers' secrecy of the ballot is as to them violated. Under our present system voting is not secret ; it was for that reason rejected by the British parliament aud the Aus tralian system adopteJ. The object now is to secure secrecy, but iu aiming at that we are confronted with a class of oters to whom exposnre of their ballots to somebody is necessary, and an exception must be made in their favor to prevent their disfranchisement. What rorm which shall be consistent with tbe highest degree or secrecy can that exception take ? If allowed to carry tbeii baiiots iwi thRA vitn fall into the hands of irresponsible and perhaps disbouest persons, and may be made, innocently or otherwise, in struments for perpetrating some form of tbe "Tasmanian dodge" If, for their benefit, official ballots are generally cir culated, all efforts tor secrecy are frus trated. And if they are permitted to take a "friend" into tbe booth, the door is opeced for the bribery of everv venal voUr who ia, or can successfully pre tend to be, unable to red English. Ex posure of ballots must, be prevented by every means that ingenuity can sug gest ; but in exceptional cases in w iich it cannot be avoided it may most sarely be confided to election efficers. who re present opposing paitlts. are nnder oath or secrecy and fidelity, can be readily detected :n malfeasance, and when de tected are liable to severe penalties. As to blind voters this seems to be the only course, but respecting tbe illiterate any exception to tbe general rule may be avoided by identifying the names on the ballots with number, or by pilot ing them with inks of different colors. There is no reason to believe that tbe Australian rystem of voting is about to receive favorable consideration in all tbe Spates where election abuses bave been seiioueiy felt ; but iu adoption would so surely dispense with machine organizations that there is also reason to fear attempts at essential modific -tion. These are likely to be in the di rection of allowing the delivery or bal lots to parties and candidates before election, and distribution as well by "workers" at any time or place as by sworn officers at tbe polls. A little thought will show that this would eons tinue the power of political machines and endanger secrecy. Aoy such mod ification no Intelligent and sincere ad vocate of electoral reform can accept, for in tbis matter it is not true at this time that "half a loaf is better than no j oreaa." it were better that the re ! form be delayed with the force of public j opinion pressing it forvratd, thau .hat in Ccient measure should allay public opinion by seeming to meet its de mands. Details may be compromised, but estenUals must be required at every step in the agitation. These are, that ballots containing tbe names of all can didates be printed at public expense ; that one official ballot or set of ballots be delivered by sworn officers to each voter as be appears to vote ; that tba voter immediately be secluded for the purpose of preparing to vote ; that be deiivnr his ballot to the Inspectors so folded as to conceal its face and expose the official indorsement ; that immedi ately after voting be withdraw from tbe secluded part of the polling place; that there be no intercourse with him except by election officers for official purposes from the the time be receives bis oallot until be votes ; and that no voter be allowed to cast any ballot but the ooe be receives from the elee'.ion officers.
