Under the law as it now stands the
system OF inspection is a perfect farce,
and not in the least calculated to prevent
malpractiees. The inspectors were often
the candidates themselves! Sometimes
they were candidates in other districts.
In the latter case they were absent, Of
course, and provided substitutes. There
was nothing to prevent TIE inspectors
all being OF the same side, and bitter
partisans at that. 1t appears at glance
that such system was not likely to be
prolific OF good results, and so it has
proved. The bill before the House
makes it incumbent upon the Minister of
the Interior to appoint as inspectors per-
sons from the opposing parties. When
there are only two parties in the field,
the Minister appoints two, and they
choose a third.

The Act further makes ruthless at
tack upon corrupt proceedings OF all
kinds. Not merely is it provided that
the ballots shall be printed at govern
ment cost, but the expenses which a
candidate may incur in his canvass are
stringently limited to the strict necessi-
ties of the case. The system of buying
hall the votes of the district under the
shallow pretence of hiring lunas, is
abolished in toto. The candidate is
bound to furnish sworn itemized state
ment OF his expenditure TO the Minister
Of the Interior within ten days after the
election. All undue attempts to influ-
ence votes directly or indirectly, whether
by gifts, loans, threats, promises, or
feasts, are made penal, and when the
candidate is concerned in them, either
personally or by his agent, not only is
his election vitiated thereby, but he is
made ineligible for reelection for four
years thereafter, as well as liable to fine
and Imprisonment.

No one doubts the necessity of law
like this While We are and were in our
elections, not particularly worse than the
rest of the world, it is yet true that the
ballot was subject here to some very
virulent abuses. A corrupt ballot is the
chronic disease OF free government, y
disease which with us was the more in
tolerable because there was hardly even
the pretence that we were free. This
bill is calculated in our opinion to facili-
tate honest voting certainly, and perhaps
to make fraud altogether impossible. We
cannot begin to enumerate and fully am
pity the various reforms embodied in
the Act, but must content ourselves
with reference to the most salient.
One OF the most important features of
the bill is that it redistributes the repre-
sentatives according to population. The
old distribution had become simply
ridiculous. Honolulu, for instance, sent
one representative for about every four
thousand of population, while Lahaina
and Kaanapali sent one for every seven
hundred. The number OF representa-
tives is reduced from rs to "a, one super
fuous one being taken from Hawaii, and
three from Maui, Molokai and Lanai.
The number from Oahu and Kauai re-
mains, the same, with the difference on
this island that five are elected from
Honolulu and three from the outer dis
tricts, instead OF, as formerly, four from
each.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1888-06-26
may be expected to spend less money il
the purchase Of votes.

The foregoing brings US naturally to
another OF the new provisions OF
the bill, viz, the printing of all
ballots by the Government. The
ballots are to be printed like receipts in
book with stub, all of uniform size,
of course, and with the names OF all the
candidates printed seriatim The bal
lots and stubs are numbered, and before
delivery Of ballot to voter the in
spector signs his name on the back, and
makes cross opposite the voters name
on the voting list, transferring at the
same time to the stub the number OF his
name on the list. The result OF this is,
not that the inspectors know for whom
a particular person votes, but that in
case OF disputed election, there will be
an exact record which may be exam
ined for any evidences OF fraud. As
soon as the vote has been counted the
ballots are all put in sealed package
and sent to the Minister of the Interior
by whom they are preserved. II an
election is disputed the candidate who
complains of an illegal election is not
left to the mercies OF House, the ma
iority OF which may subscribe to politi-
cal creed the opposite of his own; he
may institute proceedings in the
Supreme Court, which is empowered by
the Act to try and determine questions
as to the legality OF elections and to
vitiate the same, if necessary.

much to the material resources of the
country. This method will be adopted
at an early day as we think. Every eff
fort to grow food for winter has been
successful. Take the one article OF sor-
ghum, no one doubts that three to six
tons per acre can be Grown almost any
year without any irrigation. Every one
who has tried it can demonstrate
this fact. A little arithmetic applied to
the above statement viii show the
enormous capacity of 1000 acres of sor-
ghum, and little inquiry into its quail
ties for winter food Will show that it is
perhaps the best crop that can be raised.
If the plan were adopted it is believed
that the resources OF any ranch of con-
siderable size would be increased 80 per
cent. for pasturage, at an additional
cost of not over per cent. Several par
ties have made beginning, and we be-
lieve that in five years the capacity of
this country for stock growing Will in
crease over 50 per cent from this system.
If such should be the case, the direct
tendency would be to increase land and
live stock values and settle the country
more thickly Il Big Springs Paragraph.

How the Prisoners in the IBOnham Jail Have
Been Furnished with Saws and Files.
Special to the Gazette.
BoNHAM, TEX, Dec. 13.-Several
months ago five of the prisoners confined
in the jail at this place escaped by saving
the bars to their cages. A few weeks
ago another batch of the jail birds were
frustrated just on the eve of crawling
through a hole sawed in the iron work of
the jail. The manner in which they got
the saws and files to work with has been
a mystery to the officers, and since the
last attempt to escape, the closest secret
observations have been going on to locate
the person furnishing the prisoners
with tie means of effecting their
escape. To-day the mystery is cleared
up by one of the prisoners betraying his
would-be helper. This proves to be Il
darky named Wesley Ewing, who was
employed as cook ut the Jail. Wesley,
in making up the bread, would place the
small saws and files in the dough, and
after this was baked it was passed up to
the prisoners without suspicion. Sheriff
CLANCY Immediately arrested the negro,
and he is now a companion to those he
has long been trying to release.

citizens committee appointed by the
board of trade, again waited upon Vice
President-elect Morton about noon to-
day Mr.. Morton told them he would be
very happy to participate i'll any public
reception the committee might arrange.
1t was, therefore agreed that Benjamin
Harrison and Mr.. Morton should receive
publicly from to 10 Friday night
in the receptions rooms of the gov
ernor at the capital. Practically from
the day the national Republican conven-
ton began its session General Harrison
has given but little of his attention to the
business of the law firm of which he had
been q leading member for number of
years. 1t just transpires that on the day
of the election the old law firm of Harri-
son, Miller s. Elan was by mutual con-
sent and previous understanding dis
solved, and since that day the general
has had nothing whatever to do with its
business or affairs.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. II, 1888.
To the Gazette.
In your issue of December you state:
"The Chicago and Alton Railroad re-
sisted the reduction of live stock rates
from Kansas City, This is an error,
and no doubt unintentional on your part.
The Chicago and Alton Railroad in max
ing the reduction in rates on cattle, re-
fused to go into any arrangement via
Kansas City which did not include all
Texas cattle as well as cattle from the
Territory.
Our position is and always has been in
case of cut in rates, to place all Texas
shippers precisely on the same foot
ing as shippers from other
points. We will not under any
circumstances discriminate, no matter
where the stock originates, and have in
all cases placed Texas cattlemen on Il
level with those nearer market. The
Chicago and Alton Railroad has many
friends in Texas, and another year hopes
to add many to the list, and we guarantee
at all times to so act as regards rates that
shippers from all points will easily be
convinced that the Alton road is looking
to their interests as well as its own.

That portion of Texas included between
the western boundary and the l0lst
meridian and south of the thirty-fourth
parallel of latitude is almost exclusively
devoted to grazing, there being no farm
ing worth mentioning, save on the Rio
Grande, few irrigated spots and three
or four small colonies. Ranchmen have
so far depended on the range for both
winter and summer. Experience has
shown that it requires ut least double
the amount of grass for winter as for
summer, and fall, and, further, that
range which is not graZed close in
winter is much better the following sum-
mer. So that it is clear that any method
whereby the range can be saved during
