REFORM THAT IS NEEDED.

A REFORM THAT IS NEEDED.
 Every election emphasizes the great need
 of change in the manner of conducting
 such affairs. There is an easy way of put-
 ting an end to the many wrongs connected
 with elections. It is to provide for real se-
 crecy by requiring that all ballots shall be
 supplied to the election officers at public ex-
 pense, and by them furnished to voters in
 the polling places, on some plan that shall
 enable each voter quickly and easily to des-
 ignate his choice without the knowledge of
 anyone else.
 In several States an attempt has been made
 to bring about reform in this matter, and
 doubtless there will be more efforts this win-
 ter. A ballot reform bill was passed by the
 last legislature in New York, and Governor
 Hill vetoed it. Such law as that bill pro-
 vided for is as much needed in New York as
 anywhere in this country. Some of the ad- vantages of such law are thus set forth by
 the New York Times: It would do away
 with the present pretext for assessing candi-
 dates for expenses, and make 1t easier for those who are unwilling and unable to meet such expenses to run for office. It would abolish the nuisance of the gangs of ballot peddlers who are paid for their own votes and such others as they can secure on the pretense of being employed in nessary ser vice. It would leave every man entirely free from the interference of other persons in making his choice of candidates. It would make it impossible the deception so exten- siuely practiced on Tuesday of giving out ballots containing the names of candidates of one party mixed with those of another under the pretense that the Straight ticket" was offered. It would make deals and bargains and trades in votes impracticable, because there would be no means of making sure that any agreement was carried out, and, above all, it would put an end to the infamous and demoralizing practice of bribery at the polls. Votes are paid for only when there is assur- ance of their being delivered. The opportu-
 nifty of putting ballots in the hands of voters | and watching to sec that they are cast is the ! foundation of the practice of bribery. It is the same thing that makes coercion and in- | limitation successful and affords security to \ deals and trades.

It was notable victory for tariff reform ganization of the Republican party and its tremendous and harmonious efforts, against the power of money, the free trade scares, the intimidation and the appeals to preju. dice; and in the face of Democratic disorgan- izstion, early apathy and lack of harmony, tariff reform won.

! The first school census taken in Georgia since 1882 has just been completed. It gives | the total number of children of school age as 560, ,2s1, against 50S, 722 in 1882, and shows that in the country districts the boys outnumber the girls, while in the cities and towns the girls predominate.
 The grand jury in its presentment at Phil ! adelphia the other day, certified to the eff- eiency of high license as a curb to drinking and disturbances. In October, 1887, under the license law which then cursed the oity, the average number of inmates committed for vagrancy and drunkenness was 1,1s0, in October of this year it was seq.
 An elaborate system of experiments recent ] ly conducted by the Agricultural college of ucts are slightly increased by warming the ! water drank by dairy cows. Professor John son, who directed these experiments, says the results are not so pronounced in favor of warm water as was expected, and the differ erence is SO slight as to scarcely pay for warming the water.
 The Rev. Dr. Duryea of Boston, formerly | of New York, famous in both cities for his I eloquence, scholarship and ability, has dur | ing the past year declined five calls, includ- l ing one to the presidency of college and one to place paying 8, 900 morse salary than his Boston church: And now he has accept ed call to the pastorate of church at Oma. ha, at salary less than he has received in Boston. Clergymen don't always feel "called" where there Is the largest salary.
 Fishing in Alaska is good if Canadian gentleman recently visiting there tells the truth. He says that at Tongass Narrows hs saw 6 creek so crowded with salmon that the surface was actually blackened with theil backs and dorsal fins. In some places they were crowded so closely that they could hardly move, and could be picked out of the water by hand. At canning establishment he saw 8, 900 fish just taken, waiting treat Fment, and in one case one draught of ( seine brought to shore 9, ,500 salmon.

The chairman also alluded to the difficulties in the way of selling opa1s, one l of them being the fast waning prejudice against the opal as an sunlucky" stone and another that hitherto the business in opal has been confined to certain channels, out O which it has been difficult to draw it.

The poison it distributes throughout the system attacks every vital force and breaks up the most robust of constitutions.

Inc board OF county commissioners of
Irego county met this day in special ses-
SION to settle finally the matter OF letter.
ing the court house corner stone. The
names, DC, as prepared by SuperintenG-
ent Burns, were thought by some to be
"out OF place" and not quite the proper
thing. The commissioners, wishing to
get as full an expression as possible from
the citizens, held meeting for that pur-
pose during the afternoon. A number of
the business men appeared; but with the
exception of two or three, they agreed
that the commissioners should exercise
their own judgment, and all would be
satisfied. Quite number favored the
lettering of the stone as prepared by the
superintendent; and in view of this, and
the fact that the work on the stone was al
ready well advanced, it was deemed best
not to make any change, except to sub
stitute the date of the organization of the
county for the name of the architect; and
it was so ordered.
After discussing some matters Of minor
importance the board adjourned sine die.

POSTPONED FOR A WEEK.
This Has Been Done with the Lay
ing of the Court House Corner
Stone.

The laying of the corner stone of the
court house has been postponed until
next Saturday, June 2. This postpone.
ment has been rendered necessary by
several matters failing to work on time,
so to speak. The permit from the grand
master of the state for the Masonic order
to take part in the exercises came only a
day or two ago, and speaker had not been
found. Our information now is that the
Masonic grand master of this state will
be invited to be present, and lead in the
ceremonies. We are not yet able to an
nounce the name of the speaker.
The program committee, on account of
these backsets, has not yet framed pro-
gram of exercises.
But the corner stone will be laid next
Saturday. We hope to see full attend
ance OF our county people on this occa-
sion.
