The Australian ballot system, which the
last legislature enacted, was inyentcd by
Mr. Francis S. Button, in South Australia
in 1851, and first became law in Victoria in
1856. Until then their election seem to
have been as corrupt and nnfair as any of
ours. But the new law made a change,
Bribery, corruption, coercion, violence and
disorder entirely disappeared from their
elections, and the same result bas followed
wherever, the system has been adopted,
Its leading principles are an exclusively
official ballot, containing the name of eyery
candidate for every office, printed, by the
state at its own expense. This ballot is de
livered to tbe voter in the votiug room on
election day, and he must mark the name
of bis candidate and deposit bis ballot be
fore leaving the room, without the possibil
ity of showing anyone how he votes. He
msy tell how he voted, but his own word
is the only evidence he can possibly give.
In addition to nominations being made by
th'eNparty conventions, a very small number
of voters may nominate independent candi
dates, whose names are then printed on tbe
regular ticket without further trouble or
expense to them. . The progress ot this sys
tem since 1865 is ' without a parallel in all
the history of law. No principle has ever
before been so rapidly adopted by so many
governments. In 1870 it was in universal
use in Australia. About this time its power
to compel honest, fair and free elections be
came known in England and in 1872 it was
made the law of Great Britain., After a
four years' trial the house of commons ap
pointed a committee to examine into its
operation and results. The witnesses were
unanimous in testifying tbat the law had
made a wonderful improvement in their
elections.

What might have proved a very serious
accident occurred on board the steamer
North Pacific yesterday morning when
about two and a bait miles out of Seattle,
bound for this city. Tbe danger was
over, however, before the passengers
realised what had happened, and no panic
or great excitement ensned.
The boat was going along at its usual
speed when suddenly a loud crashing
sound was beard. Tbe walking beam
was broken and the machinery was utterly
incapacitated. The engineer, who fortu
nately tends to bis business, as soon as
the accident occurred threw off the lever
and no further damage resulted. Tbe
boat was turnedabout and tbe engines
worked by hand, aed the Seattle wbarf
reached after about two hours' hard work.
Wben tbe Olympian reached Seattle she
was hurried through to Tacoma and back
again to Seattle, wheie tbe passengers
and- Ireight which were on the North Pa
cifie, were transferred and the Olympian
hurried through to tbis city, reaching here
at alMiut 1 o'clock, and balf an hour after
wards She sailed lor Victoria.
The passengers from Seattle and Ta
coma growled consiaerauiy annul me
delay, but the accident was entirely on-
looked for, and tbe best arrangement that
could be made under tbe circumstances
waa made.
Tbe North Pacific will be repaired at
once, bnt for the present the Olympian
will make roujd trip daily.
