Numbering Ballots Unconstitutional.

from the Lewistown Ill. Ledger
The Supreme Court Of Indiana has de-
eided that the law Of that State author
izing the numbering Of each mans ballot
unconstitutional, in that it conflicts with
the clause of the State Constitution which
declares that al elections by the people
shall be by ballot. The court held that
by the ballot was secured the protection
and immunity of secrecy; that the ballot
implied absolute and inviolable secrecy,
THE Constitution, says the. argument of
the court was intended to, and does, secure
the absolute secrecy of ballot, and that
the actiC n in question, which directs the
numbering of tickets, TO correspond with
the numbers opposite the names of the
electors on the poll lists, il in palpable con-
fiict not only with the spirit, but with the
substance of the Constitutional provision.
This act was intended to and does clearly
identify every mans ticket, and renders il
easy to ascertain exactly how any particu-
lar person voted. The secrecy which is
esteemed by all authority to be essential
to the free exercise of suffrage, is as much
violated by this law as if it had declared
that the election should be ciga goce.
As the election law of this State contains
the same requirements Of the indiana
laws, and the Constitution of this State
contains clause similar to the Constitu
ton of Indiana, if the law is unconstitu
tional in Indiana, it is certainly unconstitu
| tional in Illinois,

Hired Girls.

There is one reason why we should re
greet to have the present troubles with do
nestle servants ended. 1t is because
women derive so much pleasure from dis
cussing the subject. Place two women to-
gether, and it makes no difference where
the conversation starts from, it will be
perfectly certain to work around to the
hired girl question before mahy minutes
have elapsed We have seen an elderly
housekeeper with experience in conducting
the talk in the right direction, break into a
discussion of Pythagoras and the transmi-
grafton OF souls, and switch off the entire
debate with such expedition that an unso-
phistocated listener would for some mo-
ments have an indistinct impression that
the conversation referred to the insufficient
cy of pythagoras as washer and ironer,
and to the tendency Of that heather phil
osopher to take two Thursdays out of ey-
cry week. And when woman has an I'M
usually vilainous hired girl who burns up
the coal, wastes the butter, mixes her hair
in the biscuits and stuffs her relations with
sugar, il is interesting to observe how she
glories in the superiority Of her suferings
to those of her neighbors, and how, as she
tells of them, she gloats over her misery
and feels good about it. A woman who
has really competent servant is always
in condition of abject wretchedness on
such occasions -HdG Adter.

The bridge at Poughkecpsic will be pushed

The latter has been the victim of an old
blunder. When the project was preached
an engineer was employed to draw partial
plans. They were crude, and were simply
intended to show the general style and cost
of the structure. When the actual work
was begun these imperfect plans were used,
and one of the piers was located in the
wrong place. The mistake has been rec
tilted, however, and perfect plans drawn.
