The California papers mention the fact
that the first Mongolian ballot ever voted in
that State was deposited at the recent cleo
ton by naturaliZed Chinaman in the Fourth
ward of San Francisco. When he presented
his ballot, properly folded, to Charles Cough,
who was Inspector. the latter challenged his
vote, whereupon the Celestial citizen removed
his hat and answered the questions proposed
without hesitation. He swore that he had
been naturalzed two years and half ago, in
the Fifteenth District Court. and that he had
lived thirty days in the ward. After his vote
had been dropped in the box, he laughingy
produced his naturalization papers. He was
asked by great many persons whom he
has voted for, but resisted every endeavor to
draw him out, steadily refusing to expose the
character of his politics.

OUR nCANnInv OPINION

The st. Adams Adpertisey, in double
loaded editorial, addressed to the supreme
court, respectfully represents" that "at
various times, within the four years past,
one Albert Clarke of st. Adams, in the
" county of Franklin, and state of Yer
"mont has " furnished material for,
written and caused to be printed, pub
d" lished and extensively circulated, arti-
Giles saying naughty things about the
supreme court of Vermont, and the seve-
fore, requesting the chief justice "to, as
"soon, as may be, tissue his writ of attach
ment against the person of said Albert
Clarke, commanding him to appear and
I" show cause, if any he have, why he SHOULD
I" not be committed for contempt of court. "
Having made its presentment and prayed
the process of the court, 1t requests from
the press of Vermont "a candid expression
on the subject" and we will, therefore,
proceed to give our 'candid" opinion.
Our "candid" opinion is, % That how
ever admirable and praiseworthy filial
affection may be, it sheuld never be dis
played at the expense of common sense.
Our "candid" opinion is, (2) That the
young man has been wasting midnight OIL
over book of forms, and is anxious to
make known his proficiency i'll framing in
formations and indictments, and possibly
to suggest to the people of Franklin county
that he is excellent material for a states at
torney.
Our "candid opinion is, 90 That, no
matter TO what extent " one Albert
"Clarke has carried his criticisms of the
courts of Vermont and the several judges
composing them, IN the Messenger we
think his criticisms have not always been
in good taste or justifable-it is no reason
why Zone Stephen E. Royce" should
make fool Of himself in the Adgertiscr-
as we candidly" think, IN this instance,
he has.
Our candid opinion is, az That if the
editor of the Messenger has libelled and
DETAINED the several judges of the supreme
court, "sltting as chancellors," they are ca
pable of seeking a proper remedy without
the aid of the editor of the Adoertiser.
Our "candid opinion is, 90 That the
young man would do well to spare few
moments of his valuable time, read up on
American history, study the common law,
and ascertain of what contempt of
" court " consists, and to what extent the
court can punish for contempt.
Our candid" opinion, finally, of the
whole article is, that the mountain has
labored and brought forth most ridiculous

ELECTING A PRESIDENT.

The joint resolution proposing an amend
ment to the constitution, relative TO the
election of president and vice president of
the United States, which was reported ia
vorably by the senate committee on the jul
dietary, Friday, makes but very little
change from the present method. The
choice by electors is still retained, each
state appointing electors equal in number
to its senators and representatives in con
gress the electors TO meet in their respect
i've states, as now, and vote for president
and vice-p resident, but the vote shall be
taken 0iUa rOce, instead of by ballot as is at
present required. The next change, and
perhaps the only important one, is in refer
ence to counting the votes. Under the
present provision, the electors are required
to make distinct lists of all persons voted
for as president and vice-president sign
and certify them, and transmit them sealed
to the seat of government, directed to the
president of the senate who shall, in the
presence OF the senate and house of repre-
sentatives, open the certificate, sand the
votes shall then be counted" The pro-
posed amendment chaNges this, by requir-
ing that the certificates shall be transmitted
to the presiding judge of The United States
supreme court, and that, on day to be
fixed by law, the supreme court shall open
and count the votes.
Prior to 1915, under an act passed by
congress, in 1902, to carry out the provs.
ions of the constitution, electors were re.
quired to be chosen, in such manner as the
several states should direct, within thirty
four days proceeding the first Wednesday
of December in the year in which an cleo
tlon of president occurred, and electors
were chosen without uniformity of time Oh
manner. They were chosen by joint bal
lot of the legislature, by concurrent vote
of the two branches of the legislature, by
the people on a general ticket, or by dis
tricts, as suited the fancy of the state. Ii
1916, however, congress enacted that cleo

A LION AT LARGE.
Excitement at a Circus in Brooklyn-A Lion
Breaks from his Cage, but is Driven Back
by his Keepers.

GAOAeemohb ~ OIcub III broOklyn-A Lion
Breaks from his Cage, but is Driven Back
by his Keepers.
From the New York Tribune, Saturday.
A large African lion, known as Parker,
belonging 10 IIowes & Cushings circus and
menagerie, at Fatbush and Fifth avenues,
in Brooklyn, broke some of the bars Of his
cage yesterday afternoon, and dashed
through the tent which contained the wild
animals into the open space which sur
rounded the circus tent, and which was
separated from the street by high board
fence. Great excitement was at once Gre
ated among the performers and employees,
who rushed for the street in their stage cos
tunes. During all the excitement the au-
dience in the main tent was unaware of
what was going on in the smaller Enclosure
and outside. AS the performers were fled,
MIR. Bowles, the man who had been left by
Prof. lesson in charge of the cages, seized
pole and dashed through the opening
into the tent. AS he passed one of the
boxes blockad;ng the passage, one of
the female performers rushed toward him
pursued by the lion. Her clothing had
been torn from her back by the animal,
which had caught the sweeping trail of her
dress, tearing it to pieces Bowles, as the
woman sprang toward him, seized her and
threw her over the large dressing eases, at
the same time throwing himself to one side
thus escaping from the Infatuated lion.
After looking around for minute in the
open space, the animal dashed back again
toward tine menagerie, encountering one of
the performing dogs, Patty, in his passage.
| The lion seized the dog in his jaws, and in
an instant crushed it into a shapeess mass
| This appeared to molly his anger, and he
crouChed upon the ground munching the
| carcass and growing with satisfaction.
| Meanwhile the performers and tent men
| who could be recalled from flight collected
about the tent, armed with polls, sticks
and clubs.
At this time Prof. Losson arrived, and,
armed with a weapon used for Furnishing
the animal, began the assault on the lion.
He ordered his aids to form a semi-crcle
around the beast, and, approaching it,
snapped his whip, shouted and pointed to-
ward the cage. The animal growled and
glared upon his master, who, keeping his
eye upon it, struck the beast a severe blow
across the face. 1t howled, and retreated
toward the cage. Following it rapidly up
with well directed blows, one of which
famed one of the animals legs, the lion
was forced into cage which was then Sc.
curely fastened. The lion was captured in
Africa when he was apparently about -four
years old. In the London amphitheatre he
killed his keeper, Thomas Jarvis, a noted
| liOn-tamer.
