ELECTION REFORM.

Reform in election methods in this country will probably make marked progress this year. The Australian system is the founda- ton of the efforts which are being made in several States. AS complete bill as any is that which is pending in the Massachusetts legislature. It provides for both the printing and distribution of ballots by the State. Under it the voter would be furnished at public expense with printed ticket bearing the names of all the candidates for the offices to be filled st given election, and he would be required to indicate his choice by mark in the space prepared opposite the candi dates names. The State would be required to print upon the ticket the name of every man whose candidacy was petitioned for by given number of qualified voters. The voter, receiving the ticket from the author ized State official at the polls, and being able to get it from no other source, would thus be compelled to use some thought, at least, in depositing his ballot. He would retire to 8 private compartment to mark his choice, and would then deliver the ballot, folded, to the receiving officer.
 Under this system secrecy in voting would DC aCGSlH0O aQO COEEupilOA Cu6Ckeu auObuSE advantage of it is thus pointed out by the Providence Journal But perhaps the chief advantage of State printed ballot lies in the encouragement it offers to independent movements in politics and the assistance it affords to the proper political aspirations of comparatively poor men. So long as the various parties are left to pay the expense of either printing or distributing the ballots the system of assessments will prevail as the price of nomination, and this will be serious bar to the political preferment of men who have neither wealth of their own nor hnan- cial backing. Finally, with a State printed ballot such as is proposed in Massachusetts, the inauguration of independent movements in politics would be much easier. Now an independent protest can with difficulty be made effective unless recourse is taken to an elaborate and costly machinery. But when, at the request of given number of voters, any name would have to be put on the ticket side by side with the regular party nominees, there would be ready means of offering to the voters an alternative to the machine made nominations of the parties The re- suit would, of course, be a speedy improve ment in the character of the nominations of both parties and general puri6cation of the political atmosphere.

 The car stove is getting properly dealt with in Massachusetts The railroad con- missioners announce their satisfaction with the method of heating cars by steam from the locomotive, after careful experimenting. While the difficulties and defects have not been entirely overcome, they are satisfied that the locomotive steam method is not only practical and safe, but economical. The board is wisely conservative in not compel ling theimmediate adoption of the new sys- tenn, as few railroads have surplus cars enough to make the alteration in one season without interfering with the summer travel. They say, however, that they shall recom- mend that the railroads make the change as soon as possible, and they urge the legisla- ture to enact that after October 1, 1889, no heaters will be tolerated in or under passen- per CATS

It is cheering to know that Professor Bumstead of the university is meeting with excellent success in making good the deficit, having already received $11, ,000 out of the $16,o00 needed ($8,O00 had been contributed by northern friends yearly heretofore) and that the remainder will be collected without much difficulty.

business and grasp OF affairs such as
few young men display. In the earliest
years of his manhood Mr.. Gaffey
edited the Santa Cruz Herald with
distinguished ability. Dropping the
quill in 1879, he was appointed Under
Sheriff OF Santa Cruz county, and
held that Office until 1888. In
this important position Mr.. Gaffey
displayed the versatility of his mind
by filling the office in a manner which
won for him the universal esteem of
his community. About the end of his
term OF Office he received the appoint
ment OF deputy-clerk of the Superior
Court of the State and was assigned
to Los Angeles as his sphere of utility.
He was indeed Clerk OF the Court, as
the Superior Court met here twice q
year to transact such business as came
before it for this end of the State.
For four years Mr.. Gaffey filed this
very responsible position. His career
won for him the confidence and res
pect Of the people to such a
degree that about the end of that
period and of his term of Office the
Democracy of the State nominated Mr..
Gaffry for the very responsible posi-
ton of member of the State Board OF
Equalization for the district in which
Los Angeles is situated. Those who
recall the exciting conflict of that
campaign, the small chances which
the party was thought to have of car
rying the State, the enormou sma-
jority claimed by the opposite party
in the south end Of the State, will
easily recall the uphill task Mr..
Gaffry seemed to have set before him
in seeking to be elected TO

some OF his ancestors were foremost in
Germany. He commenced his edu-
cation as an engineer at the Stuttgart
Politechnium, in Stuttgart, where he
graduated with high honors. He
gave his services to his country at the
breaking out Of the Franco-Prussian
war, where he was Lieutenant of
volunteer service. After his arrival
in this country he was engaged rs a
Government engineer, and in 1873
made Typographical surveys of the
lava beds of the Modoc war fame,
which attracted much attention. In
1879 he made Typographical survey
for the Government in California and
Arizona. He made the first official
map OF Arizona, published in 1879. 1t
was he who led the first exploring ex-
pedition across the Colorado plateau in
Arizona, and was among the first who
ventured among the Indian tribe
known as the Yava Supple In
dians, who were reported to live
along the Cateract Creek. He was
prominently identified in Tombstone
with the leading mining companies,
and his services there were much
sought after. In large civil suits he
was frequently called upon as an ex
pert, for his opinions in land and
mining matters we're Of great weight.
For three years he was the right hand
man of Surveyor General Wasson, of
Arizona. Two years ago he arrived in
Los Angeles, where he has done many
important pieces OF work. His map OF
Pasadena received manyindorsements
for its cor 'ectness. The growing towns
of Centinela and lnglewood were laid
out by Mr.. Riecker, and he is at present
laying out the Kedondo Beach townsite.
