THE AUSTRALIAN SYSTEM.

The last Democratic state convention
of Minnesota declared for the adoption
of the Australian system of voting, and
Republican county conventions now
being held echo that sentiment. With
out question the next legislature will
be asked to improve upon the present
clumsy WHITEMAN law by adopting the
Australian system.
The three points of merit claimed for
this system are the removal of the in
fluence of money from elections, eXpe-
ditiOus voting and freedom insured the
voter from the baneful influences OF
ward strikers" and coercive employers.
These are evils palpable in Minnesota
to-day, growing as the vote of the state
increases, and with each succeeding
election gaining new power in choking
off an expression of popular sentiment.
The Australian system provides that
the expenses of election, such as bal
lots, necessary notices, ETC., shall be
borne by the state, thus removing any
preteXt on the part of corruptionists to
demand campaign money from candi-
dates.
The state prepares the ballots for all
the parties, distributes them equitably,
provides the notices, election blanks
and polling places, and assesses the ex-
pense upon the taxpayers.
In the voting, provision is made for
absolute secrecy, so that the voter alone
on leaving the polls knows for whom
his ballot is cast. Enclosed polling
places, into which none but the judges
and supervisors enter, are prepared.
Voters enter so that no two are ever to-
gether. They select their ballots in a
private room from piles representing
all the parties, and where no one can
see as to what choice they make.
They pass to another room, and de-
post their ballot free from the solicita-
ton of ''heelerS" or the watchfulness OF
spies.
In brief, this is the Australian sys-
TEN. 1t takes from parties and individ-
uals all control of elections and makes
the vote unrestricted.
The greatest blessing claimed for it,
and which has been successfully secured
in Australia, is the secrecy of ballot. No
man may know how another votes, and
attempts to learn or to coerce are pun
ished by heavy penalties.
This is what an enlightened public
sentiment is now asking for in Mime
sofa. and the next legislature will do
well to heed it.

The tariff reform sentiment is one
that is sure to grow with agitation and
discussion, because it has reason and
common sense on its side. 1t is espe-
cially strong in the Northwest, whose
leading interests demand reduction of
duties, and the position which the Re-
publican party had taken was found to
have endangered its hold upon more
than one state which had been counted
upon as "sure." This was why the
senators began to hedge under the ear
nest plea Of Mr.. ALLISON, of Iowa, that
the people of his state demanded tariff
reform, and would not be satisfied with
out it. The idea that such Republican
stronghold as Iowa should become doubt
full was alarming. and conference of
Republican senators concluded that
something must be wrong.-New York

Lewiston Journal.
A Lewiston little girl disconnected
President Cleveland the other day. Her
parents were ell route from the West to
Maine, via Washington, where they
passed few days. In their party
who particularly desired to see the
president. The little girl made up the
third of the party, and with the clergy
man and lady, called at the White
house. The president shook hands, and
as he took the maiden's palm in his she
spoke up and said in resOlute treble:
| am a little Democrat" The presi.
dent smiled and shook her hand again,
while the good clergyman and his wife
stood aghast. 81 am glad to know
it, my DEAR" said the president.
II am glad to know it. | am pleased
to have so valuable an adherent," and
he was about to turn to the next in the
throng of people passing on when the
little girl spoke up again in her clear
voice, and added: But, sir, am
great big Republican" President Cleye-
land is said to have turned, looked at
the little one quizzically. laughed, and
to have been for moment or two at
loss for word to say. Then he said
goodbye to the little girl from
Maine, and they passed on, while those
who heard him and saw the incident
were highly amused. OF course the
Lewiston little girls parents were as
touded and are wondering who could
have suggested such an encounter TO
their little daughter, but who can tell
the fancies of the mind of child OF six?

By the wandering river

By the wandering river
For ever,
Where listless waters ran
Would the reeds Groom low,
When the winds did blow,
Under the touch of Pan;
Great Pan,
Who played where the ripples ran.
At the edge of the river,
Oh never
As yet surpassed by man,
From the reed-bed floats
Those musical notes
Fresh from the lips of Pan;
Good Pan,
So far from the haunts Of man.
None by the dreaming river
Shall ever
His face or figure scan;
YET they all may hear
A melody clear,
The rhythmic cunes Of Pan;
Gray Pan.
In the wilds remote from man.

CONVENTION CHANGE.

1t will be observed that a change has
been made in the place for holding the
Democratic Fourth district congress
sionai convention. The convention will
be held in st. Paul instead of in Mime
apolis, as originally named in the call,
and, in pursuance of the change, will
convene in Market hall in this city on
the 18th day of September. The change
was probably made to better accOmmo-
date all parts of the district, st. Paul
being the most central point.
