AUSTRALIAN BALLOT SYSTEM.
Recently the Australian ballot
system was given a trial at the
municipal election at St. I'aul.
The experiment was completely
successful. It required a keen
observer, indeed, says the Pioneer
Tress, to discover that a city of
200,000 inhabitants was in the
throes of a municipal election, and
that, too, more exciting than its
predecessors foi many years. No
crowds, no excitement and no
drunkeness were the marked fea
tures of the day, whose character
was told alone by the occasional
booths, to whose sides were tacked
maps and election plackards.
It is alike creditable to the rep
resentatives of all parties that
they tried to follow the spirit as
well as the text of tli3 new law,
instead of attempting to hamper
it in its action.
The voter after giving his name
received his ballot, which he mark
ed according to the dictates of his
own judgment in the privacy of
one of the booths. Having folded
it he handed it to the judge of the
election, who, having, called the
voter's name, deposited the ballot
in the box. This was all the ma
chinery necessary for the elector.
As a result of careful registration
but lew votes were chalenged in
the entire city, and only a com
paratively small number of bal
lots were returned defaced or in
jured to the judges of the election
in exchange for others. Perhaps
as noticeable a fact as any is that
a very small per cent of voters
asked for assistance in making
their ballot.
The judges of election uniformly
gave the warmest praise to the
new system. Many of its oppo
nents have based their opposition
upon a belief that its operation
was slow. It was found that in
the most crowded districts all the
booths were never occupied at one
time, and the rush which under
the old system was the invariable
accompaniment of certain hours,
wras entirely obviated. The re
turns also were known at an
earlier hour than usual, as the
conditions of balloting made it ex
tremely easy for the judges to tub
ulate the results.
GOOD NE Y 8 FOR BR A KEMEN.
The general use of automatic
brakes and couplers on cars of all
kinds, passenger and freight, has
been a subject for determined dis
cussion at every meeting of rail
road men for several years. The
officials of the different roads have
signified their willingness to pro
vide these improvements and safe
guards, but through misunder
standings of various kinds, the de
sired progress has not been made.
Railroad employees will now be
glad to learn that the Boston iv
Albany road, and all the roads in
the Vanderbilt system have decid
ed to equip freight cars hereafter
built for use on these roads with
air-brakes and self-couplers. This
action once begun will rapidly
spread, and it will not be long be
fore all roads will follow the ex
ample set.
Such a protection is demanded
in the interest of humanity. The
brakeman's life is not a happy one,
but now on these roads it will be
more enviable than heretofore.
The salary of the police recorder
of New York city is $12,000 a year.
The governor of the state receives
only $10,000 a year that is, as
salary.
Philadelphia has one hundred
and forty thousand houses used for
dwellings, Avhile New York has
only seventy-five thousand.
Children Cry for.
THE PROFESSION A L POLITICIAN.
The countless minor offices of
the United States are filled by a
class known as "professional poli
ticians." These men live by poli
tics, receiving places as reward for
political work. Their control of
public office is monopolistic. Mr.
j Hryce estimates their number at
200,000, but this is probably an
underestimate. They constitute a"
guild, although they are not organ
ized under under formal articles
of association. "With them office
getting, (or keeping in office) is an
industry, and the fees and emolu
ments are accepted as pay for par
tisan services rather than for the
exercise of official functions. The
i nil nonce which the office holders
wield is altogether out of propor
tion fo their numbers or to their
intellectual attainments. 3ut they
possess this advantage over all
otherclasses they are unified and
organized.
They make the management of
primaries and conventions the seri
ous business of their lives,' and
acquire a skill and experience in
"wire-pulling" which ordinary cit
izens cannot hope to cope with.
The politics of the country is in the
hands of these men. The people
elect but cannot nominate, being
reduced to a choice of candidates
selected by the politicians of op
posing parties. The politicians
dictate nominations, high and low,
and afterwards foreclose a lien
upon public places which thej'
claim to have earned. All others,
those who cannot show a certifi
cate of this character, are excluded.
Astorian.
THE LA TE EL LOTION. .
The Oregonian publishes a table
of the official returns from all the
counties in Oregon except Harney.
Lake, Sherman and Wallowa, and
in these counties named either
actual or estimated majorities are
given. The result shows Hermann
to have more than 10,000 over his
democratic competitor, and more
than seven thousand over both his
opponents. Pennoyer's majority
is -1,900. The majorities on the
balance of the state ticket Are giy
en as follows: MeUride, secretaiy
of state, 7,005; Metchan, treasurer,
0,010; McElroy, school superin
tendent, 4,-150; 11;: Iter, state print
er, 0,218; Bean, supreme judge,
8.088. The republican vote is
about CO.000 out, of a total vote in
the stale of 71,000. The third
parly polled something over 2,800
votes, and where it had no candi
date in the field its votes were
cast for the democratic candidate.
There is therefore a clear republi
can majority in the slate of about
seven thousand. Statesman.
Cvi:rs W. I'iki.d, who proved
himself to be a great friend to Mrs.
(nil-field and her family after the
death of the lamented president,
was not invited to be present at
the Garfield memorial exercises
held a few days ago, and in conse
quence feels quite indignant over
the slight. Mrs. Garfield has writ
ten a personal letter of apology,
but as she was not to blame, Mr.
Field's wounded feelings have not
yet been soothed.
Tin-: result of t lie late election on
(he 2nd is very pointed. Two
years ago Hermann's majority for
congress was something wonderful
7,407. This year it is over 10,000.
A motion to make it unanimous
was not seconded. Astorian.
Tin; closest shave any candidate
had for office in the late election
was that of P. A. Conde, demo
cratic candidate for sheriff of
Baker county. He was victorious
over his republican competitor, J.
D. Smith, by just one vote.
The State Reform School will be
ready none too soon. There are
now in the penitentiary sixteen
boys under twenty years of age,
who would be better for instruc
tion in the industrial school.
