In England the government supplies all the
tickets. The voter is not obliged to approach
the polls through crowd of ticket peddlers.
No man can watch and detect for what candi-
dates he votes in order to ''spot" him. The
names of the candidates of both parties are
printed on single ballot. A clerk hands one
of these to the voter, who passes into little
stall where he cannot be watched, makes a
mark with pencil against the names of the
candidate for whom he votes, and then de-
posits his ballot. There may be some feat
ures of this system better than the Amer
lean, but the plan does not have in it
that which tends to develop manhood and
self-reliance We believe that with all the
manifest weaknesses about the American sys-
tenn, it is still much the better. Really the
greatest safeguard of the suffrage is the man.

II the business men and manufacturers Of In

business and industry, say from to 6 o'clock
on Tuesday afternoon next, for the purpose of

THAT New Workers. are interested occasionally
in other than commercial pursuits. yacht races,
or similar sports was indicated by the interest
taken last week in the sale of the late Mrs Nor
gan's collection of orchids. The collection cost
about $780, 000 and included about ], 200 varieties
gathered from all parts of the world. While
some varieties of this plant common enough,
the rarer kinds are. like costly paintings, usually
the property Of the wealthy. Like many of the
pictures. too. they are often valuable more on
account of their rarity than for their beauty,
though there are, of course, many beautiful or
chids. While there was a demand for the plants
placed on sale, the prices paid for them indicate
that not half the original cost will be realized
The heirs will regret this, but, if they do not
value orchids for themselves, they will probably
look with some wonder, notunmixed with mild
contempt, upon the enthusiastic florist who paid
$3.50 for one Misunderstanding little plant.
Other plants vent at lower rates, some not
bringing over ten dollars.

THE saloon influence can raise all the
money it needs, and will raise it. Those in
favor Of law and order, and against the sa-
looms controlling the city government, can do
better than raise a large sum of money. Let
the corruption fund be met by Gordon of de-
termined men. Let an organization be eff
fected in every precinct of the city, whereby,
all day long, at least dozen of the best
known and most reputable men shall be at the
polls, openly working to influence, by proper
methods, as many voters as possible, and to
see that the schemes of the corruptionists are
met and thwarted. This will be better and
more effectual than all the money the saloon
influence can contribute. The devil trembles
when he sees the weakest saint upon his
knees; and the saloon influence will cover and
be driven back if they see the poll of every
precinct guarded by dozen well known,
prominent reputable, determined citizens. If
in every precinct of the city there shall be an
organization that viii bring to the polls, and

SHALL we have government of the people,
for the people and by the people, or shall we
have a government Of the saloons for the
saloons and by the saloons9-Dr. Mcleod, at
Roberts Park Church.
The issue was never more tersely and pith-
lily stated than in the above words. The Sen
tinel may squirm and wriggle as much as it
pleases, but it knows that Dr. Mcleod put
the truth in nutshell in the words quoted.
The Sentinel may attempt to tie the Demo
cratic party to the saloon-keepers if it pleases;
but we believe there are many honorable
high minded, respectable, aw-abiding, tax
paying, business Democrats who will resent
the effort to crowd them into the vest-pockets
of Sim Coy and Sam Dinnin. The Sentinel
knows that Mr.. Cottrell was nominated by the
saloon influence in the Democratic party, and
solely because, as police commissioner he had
placed himself on their side as against the law
But for this, he would never have been
thought of for mayor. Very many Demo
Gratis, who were represented by those who
voted for Mr.. Byfeld and Mr.. Schmuck, know
this as well as the Sentinel does, and they
will resent the insult to their party when the
opportunity is offered on election day.

NOTHING is so deadly in this world as COW
ardice If the party of lawlessness triumphs
in this city next week, it will be because of
the cowardice of its opponents. We put that
prediction on record now, and will undertake
to prove it by the figures Of the vote, should
that be the result. If the party of law and
order succeeds, it will be because Of the cour-
age of their position and the manhood with
which it is maintained; and that will be dem
onstrated by the figures of the ballot. Victory
is certain with courage and manliness; defeat
is almost equally certain with cowardice and
faint enemy.

THE Presidents friends are likely to involve
him in moral tangle unless their anxiety to
bolster up the New York ticket is modified
little. In order to force him into committing
himself, one of the New York Democratic
journals intimated that he was conniving to
get Mayor Grace to run as an Independent
candidate for Governor, the plan being to thus
divert votes from Hill, for whom, personally,
Mr. Cleveland is supposed to entertain no
great degree of admiration. This uncovered
the bull in the Office of the
Washington Post, the official organ
Of the administration, and it was
officially announced that Mr.. Cleveland was
really anxious for the success of the Demo
cratic ticket in New York. Thereupon the
good news was scattered broadcast, with the
evident intention of rallying the faithful and
holding the uncertain mugwump. But what
becomes of that lofty patriotism that places
country above party, and that divorces officers
from active politicsY What are the people to
do for an example, now that the apostle Of re-
form has fallenf For what more could the
President do than to announce his sympathy
for the ticket He cannot put aside
his dignity and rush into the fray,
for even his wicked and unregenerate prede-
cessors, Offensive partisans" every one, never
did that, if We except that eminent reformer,
Andy johnson, when he ''swung around the
circle" If the President has been correctly
reported, he has killed the spirit of civil-serv-
ice reform, so far as his administration is con-
cerned. If he has not been he can easily set
himself right by denying that he has Endorsed
partisan ticket. Such an Endorsement, un-
der existing circumstances, would do more
than a hundred clerks could do in going home
from Washington, and taking an active part
in the campaign.

AT the Springfield convention Senator
Hoar, replying to the letter about the "Bour-
bonism" of the Republican party, said:
'"The Bourbonism that demands only that
the will of the whole people shall have it's
rightful expression; the bigotry that condemns
only the men who rob Americans of their citi-
zenship; the sectionalism that would tax and
burden itself to the utmost to bestow educa-
ton, freedom, justice, manufactures, COM
MERGE, prosperity, honor on the South; these,
and these alone are the Bourbonism, the big
otry and the sectionalism of Massachusetts
Republicanism. Its life is in the future
When it ceases to advance it dies. Its steadi-
ness is but the steadiness of march. Its dis
cipline is the discipline of an advancing army
Its constancy is the constancy to an object
not yet accomplished"
To that "Bourbonism" and 'ebigotry" the
Republican party is religiously devoted--we
may almost say, consecrated. BY that 'Bour-
bonism" and ''bigotry" it stands or falls. 1t
fell last year because it fell below the Just and
high standard of its convictions, and listened
to those who affected to be tired of principles
and feared that defeat might come with
''damnable iteration" It will rise into pub
lie respect and power again whenever it has
the courage of its principles, fealty to it's high
faith and mission.

THE deaf mutes of New Jersey are protest
Ing against the employment of speaking
teachers in their schools. They claim that,
80 far from association with speaking in
structors being an advantage, it is a positive
injury, since the children are taught much
more readily by those to whom sign language
Is in sense natural than by those who have
acquired it. Their arguments have the same
basis as that used in favor of native teachers
Of foreign tongues, and, though the idea seems
rather peculiar, as applied to the deaf mute
language, it may be equally correct.

THE plan of the Democratic campaign in
Virginia has developed within the past few
days Evidently anxious to keep the Old Do
minion an integral part of the solid South, the
old spirit of bullying and bloodshed is assert
ing itself, and it is plain that a personal at
tack was planned to be made on the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor the evident in
tention being to lower him in the esteem of
DULLES, if not actually drive him out of the
canvass. He appears to have enough
personal courage to face these fell
lows, and it may be that their scheme
will prove boomerang. For if it be made
plain that an attempt to bulldoze him has been
made, and it should fail, the. hoped-for con-
tempt that was to be brought upon him may
change to admiration. The Democrats have
resorted to every possible device to rally the
Bourbons, even to the absurdity of parading
Gen. r. E. Lees saddle, for the purpose of
reawakening dying enthusiasm, and it is not
surprising that desperate and violent measures
should again be attempted.
