Circle or No Circle.
- "V LBEWIIRUK appears a Iclter
1- from the Hon. Clinton Rog-
M - era Woodruff, chairman, of
the Union committee for the
promotion of ballot reform and the
merit system in Pennsylvania, in
which reason3 are given why the
Pennsylvania Ballot Keform associa
tion insists upon abolishing the party
circle or group system of marking
ballots.
lie contends that the parly circle
is unconstitutional because il inter
feres with free and. equal elections,
and cites a ruling in a California case
to prove that It is against public pol
icy. Until such a l tiling is made and
sustained in Pennsylvania, the Cali
fornia citation is naturally of acade
mic Interest only. "We have not stud

As to Pacific Cables.
RrOKXT Ottawa advices stale
that after tho vicissitudes
of fourteen years the British-Imperial
plan of an all
Jrltlsli Pacific cable has Anally been
nsvnirod. Tho contract for Its laying
hns been let. The details of arrauge
jucuis for laying have been published.
fJ'ho ftontractoi'3 undertake to Jmvti the

next year. The $10,000,000 which Is the
es-tlninU; of approximate cost, Is to bo
loaned by the imperial government,
tae United Kingdom, Canudii, und the
Australasian colonies each guarantee
ing their share.
Camilla nt least, according lo the Ot
tawa dispatches, believes tliut the lay
ing of this cubic, to be absolutely un
lei' Jhltlsli control, will delay for
niany years thu constuietlon of the
proposed Pacific cable by tho United
rtlates or under Its contiol. Cireat
Mi It alu Is said to hold tho sumo viow,
The Argument on which they basa
this belief Is that for a long time there
will not be business enough to make
two cablo line pay.
The single fact that the line con
titictcd fur Is to bo absolutely under

tive tho laying of a cable fiom fall,

Chief Need of the Navy.

JL Indifference shown by the
naval mllltla of both the At
lantic and Paclllc coasts, and of the
sluing argument thus furnished for the
establishment of it trained naval re
serve. .Seerntiiry Long's purpose Is de
clared to be to lay especial stress In
his next report upon the necessity ex
istent for congress to direct the estab
lishment of such u resDfvc.
The utter want of interest In the
duties they ure supposed to have un
dertaken "will prevent the oignnlsi.i
llons ot naval mllltla from taking the
usual cruise on a tegular man-o-war
during the coming summer." fo says
the report.
The chief need of the navy Is men,
and since the time has assuredly ar
rived when the United States must
be a nation with a strong navy, if It
is to hold Its own at all, henceforth,
there Is clear common sense In the de
mand for a trained naval reserve from
which the navy could In time ot con
fllct he immediately augmented by
competent, thoroughly Instructed men.
A reserve, this should be, which, ai
specified by Lieutenant Commander
Sutherland, who is in immediate charge
of naval milltiu matters, should in
clude nil classes that have to do with
the sea. The minimum term of enlist
ment for such reserve, to be of iie, he
puts at live years.

Homes of Hope,
FOLLOWING our recent resume
of the libiary work estab
lished bv its warden In Chi
cago's prison a work that we
again ask it there are none to start on
an equally effective basis In the prison
here theie comes most appioprlately
the brier account of what that admir
able and devoted woman, .Mis. Flailing
ton Booth, is accomplishing in what
we call homes of hope. Hope hall, No.
1, and Hope hall. No. 2, she names
them. The first one Is at Flushing.
Long Island, and is a small farm col
ony. The secoml Is inn In the suburban
legion of Chicago.
She refers to them, in her lectures
and appeals for their maintenance, as
a part of the pi Ismi work or the Volun
teers of America. Hut It is thtough
her own untiring personal efforts that
they are actually sustained. She Is as
much both the soul and bodv of the
prison work or the 'volunteer Army"
as Mrs. Klizabeth Fiy was of the al
most miraculous pilson lefortn woik
accomplished In Newgate and in the
whole prison system of Knsland hi Hie
early decades of the nineteenth cen
tury. Sirs. Booth's prison woik was begun
In systematized fashion almost Im
mediately after her last visit to Scran
ton. In 3S90, hugely through the- in
itial Interest in her woik moused bv
the metropolitan newspapers' accounts
of it, she was able to secuie the Flush
ing farm and house. Over one thou
sand discharged prlsoneis coming out
into the wot M without a place, or a
fool hold for honest work, anywhere
else In It, have been leoelved, sheltered
and fed, at Hope hall, No. 1. They did
what work the farm could give ihem
to do until employment, could be found
for them. It has saved by far the
largest proportion of them rrmn letura
to crime.
In Hope hall, No, L', the Iteooi d-Her-ald's
Investigation explains ihat "ihe
parole system of Illinois makes It pos
sible for the home lo woik with the
slate otllclals." That Is, "some respon
sible person must guaranteo employ
ment for a year in order lo secure a
parole." As Hope hull gives u fie.i
home until employment Is seemed fur
those whom It takes, the guarantee Is
modified to fit the case. In the two
years and a half during which this
refuge has been open the number te
celveil has been about ITiO, and ot tlnsa
"about 70 percent, have Income honest,
Indiiriti Ions and law-abiding." While
in Hope hall the men do the woik of
eveiy kind, hut alternating lu the
duties or the hoi;e, laundiy ami
poullry .Mild, so that o half of tlm
nvi'iuge number of twenty to twenty,
live Inmates are free through the -day
to look for work.
It Is line, says the paper from whVh
we quote, for any to have in depend on
tho home for tluee months unless on
account of Illness. "The paiole sys
tcm, of cnui.se, lequhes a monthly ic
port of the status of each man, but the
rules are not liksome. The Inmates
are forbidden lo use tubacni or tun.
fane language at the home. They must
be In by durk in aider that no false
chnrges may hold against them; and
they are required to attend two ie
llglous services a week." The neigh
bors In the scattered subuib In which
Hope hall stands have, It Is added,
nothing but kind words for the insti
tution and Its mission. That In In Itself
a certificate of the successful manner
lu which It Is doing Its work,
Mrs. Balllngton Booth nukes an
earnest uppeal for subscribers to thu
extent of J.IOO a month, for the more
regulur and substantial support of the
two homes, In order to leave her fiee.
to do more work In the prisons.
How that delicate fiuine of hers is
upborne by the splilt to do what she
accomplishes Is the marvel. The help
she asks ought to he forthcoming, and
lu the two itates In which the home
nrc. Then other slates may well stir
themselves to similar work lu this
matter, ns well as In the pi Iron library.
Kveti on n mcie money basis It costs
less lo help those who hnvu "gone
wrong" to nn honest llfo than It docs
to leave them to go hack Into bud ways
or lo push thorn there.
Although the Glasgow exposition
which opened this week has failed of
any ofllclal recognition from this coun
try, nml tlii' American exhibits nre re
ported to he few, the inanngers of the
exposition me said lo he "looking con
fidently for large support from Ameri
can visitors." The Glasgow enterprise
has, us a inutler of course, been largely
crowded by the coming Pan-Ainorlcnn
exposition out of the thought of this
country, lu some quarters there has
been sharp criticism for losing the
opportunities for showing the superior
ity of American manufactures before
multitudes of Kuropcnti vlsltois. YeL
fiom tlie very same sources we hear of
"the hitler Jealousy" stirred up In
Great Hrllaln and on the continent of
Km ope by that very superiority. Why,
then, mourn over neglected oppor
tunities? The Philadelphia Ledger says that
conservative estimates place the num
ber of persons rcudeted homeless by
the Hoods In the Ohio valley at more
than 11,0(10. The total property loss is
estimated at .fj,7 15,000, which Is i5ot so
very much lu this land of big figures;
but there Is every reason to suppose
that most of the homeless ones have
lost their nil, and n millionaire could
lose no more, our contemporary adds:
They will need food, clothing and help
to make a fresh start In life, and thay
cannot have these things too soon. Tho
promptest charity for them Is the best.
Can the Ited Cross he made, as often
before, the medium of giving? There
should be nn organized, responsible
center for receiving and promptly dis
tributing money and supplies.
The Italians In Philadelphia propose
a memorial fund, to erect a inanumcut
to A'erdl In Fulrmount park. The in
itial step will be the giving of a great
concert on Monday evening next In the
Academy of Music in that city. The
entire musical and cultured public ot
the ppimsylvaniau metropolis is being
stirred to interest which, it is hoped,
will result in tolling the fund up
speedily to an amount sufficient for a
beautiful and appropriate memorial.
