A BILL FOR FAIR ELECTIONS.

There is a bill now in the hands of Gov.
Hill, of New York, awaiting his signature or
veto, which will give him a chance to do
something for elections in New York, or place
his party once more on record against them.
1t is known as the ballot-reform bill, and is
intended, as far as possible, to close the door
against fraudulent voting. Among other
matters, it provides that no election precinct
shall contain more than 800 votes; that there
shall be no peddling of ballots outside the
polls and no solicitation of votes. and that
the ballots, printed at public expense, shall
only be distributed by an authorized person
inside the polling place. Each ballot is to
contain all the tickets and the names of all
the candidates printed on one slip, under a
distinctive party heading, and the voter is to
whom he wishes to vote. If he wishes to
vote the straight Republican or Demo
cratic ticket he may indicate his pur-
pose by putting his mark after the
heading of the ticket, designating by the par
ty name the ticket he wishes to vote. If he
wishes to vote a split ticket, or vote for some
candidates and not for others, be will indicate
it by placing marks opposite these names.
Finally. if the voter cannot read he may re-
quest the ballot clerks to mark his ballot for
him, but nobody else may do it. These are
the main features of the bill. Some of thom
have been tested in other cities of this coun-
try, and others abroad, with excellent results.
There is every reason to believe that the bill
would work well, especially in large cities,
where election frauds are generally practiced
and where there exists the greatest necessity
the necessity for electoral reform in New
York and Broltlyn, not to speak of smaller
cities in New York. The two cities named
have for years quot been the scene of frauds
which have brought disgrace on the American
name and on republican institutions. The
evil is growing worse from year to
year, and if not arrested will GER
tainly lead to serious and alarming results.
The honest people of the country viii not al
ways submit to having elections decided by
the fine workers and the organizers of fraud
in New York and Brooklyn. The ballot-re-
form bin is intended to remedy the evil. and
il, at least, . step in the right direction. Most

c~onundrums and discussions which used to
agitate ecclesiastical bodies in tho middle
ages 1t is of no earthly consequence to the
human race, nor to any member of II, how
Adam was created. 1t is enough to know that
he was created for . wise purpose. The
s~criptural account leaves room for consider
able difference Of opinion as to the exact
method. and it is rather late in the Nineteenth
century for any ecclesiastical body to attempt
to erect q standard Of orthodoxy on the sub
ject. DR.. Woodrow, formerly q professor in .
theological seminary at Savannah. chose to
adopt the theory of evolution. and thought he
found in it a satisfactory solution of the pro-
cess of creation as applied to Adam. His
views and belief on all the essential doctrines
Of religion were sound and orthodox from the
Presbyterian standpoint, but the Georgia
synod could not tolerate his views on the
Adam question, and he was removed from his
position. He appealed to the General AS
sembly, and hence the current discussion,
which, from any reasonable point of view. is
about a. improbable and absurd as anything
could possibly be. The Assembly might as
well undertake to decide whether the first egg

Messrs. Griffin and Carr, because of their

ANOTHER attempt to found a socialistic
community has failed. About.two years ago
a considerable number Of Americans, gath
cred mainly in the East, went to Mexico for
the purpose of establishing a colony on the
communistic plan at Topolambo bay. 1t was
the old story-everything was to be held in
common, all were to work for the common
good, poverty was to be abolished, and every
body to be happy. The Governor of the Mex
lean state in which Topolambo is located re-.
Gently visited the place and reports the colo
nists in a distressed condition. They lodge
in ragged tents which are insufficient to pro-
tect them against the ardent heat
of the sun in the summer season.
and were it not for receiving regular
supplies of provisions from California the col
ony could not exist. The colonists are
wretchedly clothed. and their domestic sur
roundings-furniture, utensils. etc.-are Of
the scantiest. Most of the men devote them
selves to fishing in the neighboring waters as
a means of support, while others indulge rosy
dreams of what the colony would do when it
becomes able to import labor-saving machine
~. The leader of the movement is a Mr..
Owen, connected, we believe, with the dis
tinguished family of that name SO long and
honorably known in this State.

: The vote upon the proposition to extend
the Methodist pastoral limit from three to five
years was taken by orders. 1t resulted: For
the extension, clerical 208, lay SO; against,
b.
clerical 65, lay 81. The vote was taken very
suddenly, between two Of the ballots for
bishop. The action is the most radical and
important that has been taken for many
years. Originally there was no limit, all
appointments being made for one year; then
the time was extended so that a pastor could
remain in the same charge for two years; then
the timo was extended to three years, and now
to five years.

being brought to bear on the Governor to in
duce him to veto it. The specious objections
against it which were urged in the Legisla-
ture are now urged upon the Governor. The
Tribune says: 1.-THE real difficulty with the
bill in the eyes Of politicians ike those who
run the Democratic machine in this city is
that it is effective to prevent fraud and COR
ruption. Cheating would be almost impossi-
BILE. Bribery would be greatly discouraged,
because the briber would never be sure that
the goods would be delivered" The Times
says: There is absolutely no ground of objec-
tion to it except that it will do away with
electoral abuses from which certain politi-
clans profit by corrupting the suffrage" If
the bill is vetoed it will be new proof that
the Democratic party is always and every
where opposed to honest elections.

IT is difficult to restrain q smile at the

discussing how Adam wan created, whether
his creation was mediate or immediate, from
organic or inorganic materials. the result Of
natural or supernatural causes, etc. The
question itself, and the phrases by which it
was garnished, reminds one Of the wonderful
