10 the Editor Of he Reeite:

To the Editor Of UIe Regtae':
DEAR SIR: Your local columns this
morning contained an article headed
"Discord'') about the Plumed Knights,
which is wholly incorrect. 1t states: THE
story goes that at meeting held early in
the week, the proceedings were character
lied by painful amount of discord, and
that the session, which was protracted
until after Ii o'clock, actually broke up
in row; that the officers of the Knights
resigned, and that the organization is now
without any distinct head, and is drifting
about upon the political ocean with excel
lent chances of going to the bottom, un-
less some means is speedily found of stop
ping the leak. and once more putting the
craft N sailing trim"
The only meeting held by the Piumed
Knights within the last two weeks wss
the one held ON last Monday evening. At
that meeting only few of the members
were present, and the meeting was very
short one. Il adjourned before $3.50
o'clock.
There was not the least discsrd, and
not one officer resigned or rendered his
resignation. Altogether, not ons part OF
the foregoing quotation is true.
Your reporter owes it to himself to give
the name of the Republican (if any such
there be) that Is responsible for the said
mieststements, and We hope that he viii
do 90. Respectfully,
b. s. ALLISON,
President of Plumed knights.
JOSEPH A. METCALF,
Secretary.

THE GIRL QUESTION.

"What kind of girl does 3 college man
ike best?"
The New York Press recently sent out
this interesting query TO the students Of
different colleges throughout the country.
A summary of some Of the answers re-
eeived will doubtless be acceptable to all
classes of our readers.
Ia the first place, the answers show that
the blonde has gone ont Of fashion. The
brunette completely fills the eye Of the
college man, and he writes page after page
Of trash about raven hair, black eyes,
pearly teeth, rosy cheeks and ruby bps.

A NEW BALLOT LAW.


Milwaukee is experimenting with new
ballot law, and the first election held I'M
der it showed that it worked very success
fully. II is not so comprehensive as the
measures proposed for New York, Massa-
ehusetts and other States, but the Milwau-
kee election offered the first practical test
Of tho application Of the principle Of bal
lot distribution by the State. The law
under which the election was held pro-
vides that voters receive their ballots from
sworn State election officers. Only one
voter at time Is allowed in the room In
which these officers are, and no crowd is
allowed to collect within one hundred feet
of the polling places. OF the recent cleo
ton in Milwaukee the Sentinel, Of that city,
says:
Tue system Of voting in Milwaukee has
proved a decided advantage over that
which formerly prevailed. Under the old
system, with such an issue as divided par
ties on Tuesday, there would have inevi-
tably been more or less trouble at the
polls Voters would have been kept from
the polls by intimidation, there would
have been knock-dOwns and broken heads.
All this was avoided By the arrangement
that allowed each voter to select his ballot
without interference to enter alone in the
room where the ballot box was kept, and
which provided for his passing out another
door than that at which ne entered. 1t
broke MP the business of ticket peddling,
of brow beating ignorant voters and secured
n perfectly orderly and quiet election.
The law proposed for Massachusetts, has
many Objectionable features, and while in
one sense of the word it would sffsr free
ballot, it by no means follows that it
would be q fair one For instance, the
bill requires that the names of all eandi-
dates shall be printed on every ballot, and
the voter designates by a cross mark oppo-
site the name Of the candidate Of his choice
how his ballot shall be counted. The bill
equires that the names of the candidates
duly nominated or Endorsed by certain
number of qualified voters, be placed upon
the tickets, which are printed at the pub
lie expense, and requires notice Of from
thirty to seven days before elections, for
candidate to have his name so enrolled.
It provides for secrecy in voting, and not
only seeks to prevent intimidation, but
forbids solicitation at the polls.
This may do very well in theory, but it
strikes us il goes too far. Every man has
the right to run for Office and every voter
has the right to vote for whom he pleases.
Very frequently the man who Is an
nounced the day before an election de-
feats candidates Of weeks standing This
Law would not allow n ballot 10 be
counted if cast for . man of less than
seven days standing The bill is right In
principle, however, and il seems that
most of its provisions could be made to
work to great advantage.

beautiful cirro-cumulus clouds were no
doubt forming themselves into such OBJ

without bullet in his Uranium. The

ALL FOR ALLISON.
Iowa Republicans enthusiastically
Nominate Iowa's Favorite Son.

DEs MONIES, Iowa, March 21.-The Re.
publican State convention was called to order
at noon in the Grand Opera House. Every
inch of standing room was occupied and the
boxes were filled with ladies. j. P. Dolliyer
temporary chairman, spoke in high eulogy
Of the Republican party and its great states
man, William B. Allison. At the close oi
Mr.. Dolliyer's speech, life sized portrait OF
Mr.. Allison was lowered over the stage
amid prolonged cheering and great enthu'
siasm. After the announcement OF tue CON-
mittees and the names of the delegates, the
convention took a recess.
When the convention reassembled, Chair
man Clark, of the committee on resolutions,
read the report which was adopted with
three tremendous cheers. The resolutions
say:
Realizing at this time, on the eve of the meeting
of the National convention that a platform OF
principles by the Republicans of this State is not
required further than the declaration and re-
affirmation of the past announced position OF the
party, yet the Republicans OF Iowa improve this
opportunity to declare with unanimity and enthu
siasm that we present the name OF william d.
Allison to the Republican convention for the
nomination for the Office of President OF the
United States, and we do this, not from feeling
of State pride, but from the profound conviction
that we are acting in obedience to the obligation
now resting upon Republicans everywhere 10
urge the selection only of the strongest and best
candidate His quarter century of service to both
branches of Congress has been conspicuous for
loyalty to the Republic fidelity to the principles
that underlie the government, profound kn0wl-
edge of the material resources and needs of the
Nation, great wisdom and skill in finance and
broad and prudent craftsmanship. In the party
counsels he has been the foe OF faction, fearless
but ever courteous foe. He is in the full yigor
of his mental and physical powers, genial affable
and approachable. Never acting from passion
and rarely from impulse, but uniformly from calm
consideration and judgmenth he is kind in thought,
speech ana purpose, the embodiment of personal
and official integrity. He presents the rare COM
bipation of all the elements for strong party
candidate and a wise, popular and honored ex-
ecutive, and we commend his name to the judg-
ment of the Republicans of the Nation.
Ex-Congressman Hepburn made stirring
speech, and an Allison brigade was organ
lied to go to Chicago in June.

Telephonic Troubles.

ST. LOUIS, March 21.-The Pan telepone
system is in use in this city. The recent de
cision by the supreme court caused uneasi-
ness among the subscribers, and the feeling
was augmented today when several subscrib
ers received notice from the attorneys of
the Bell company demanding that all other
than the Bell instruments be put out of ser
vice. In case of refusal, the Bell people
threaten to bring suit. The officers of the
Pan company were likewise nervous, but
presented bold front. A lively meeting of
the directors was held this afternoon.
Vice President Terry said the Bell people
made no threats sof suit, and thought the
case would be amicably adjusted. He did
not think they would interfere with their
subscribers either. He declared the case not
settled yet by long odds. Terry, who is a
prominent lawyer, is at the head Of the Pan
telephone here, and says there will be no re-
treating. He puts great stress ON the
fact that the court decided the question by a
majority of one, and Justice Lamar did not

NORTH HAVEN, March 10.
For two days last week gang Of 20 men
worked indefatigably saving through and
removing ice from Pulpit Harbor, to free the
imprisoned packet Mayfower. Tuesday sf-
ternoon she made her first trip TO Rockland,
where she took on board a miscellaneous
freight for our grocers. On her return she
had a hard experience but was helped by the
Woodbury..
The Woodbury., in attempting to force a
passage through the frozen Thoroughfare,
sustained considerable damage to her propel-
ling apparatus, and will have to lay by for a
while. She is a noble vessel and her aid has
been very valuable and timely to scores Of
imperilled men and vessels during the past
winter.
The schooner Inez, owned by Leadbetter &
Cooper, is acting as mail packet at present,
the Greyhound, regular mail packet Capt.
Mills, being frozen in fast and solid at her
wharf, where she will probably lie for weeks
to come.
Daniel Greene and Fred Carver have had
exceptionally good luckin dragging for escal-
lops. In one day last week they secured IS
bushels.
What promised to be winter OF privation
and suffering to the fishermen Of this vicin-
ity, owing to their hard luck last year, has
not been nearly as bad as was expected. The
clam digging and escallop dragging, have
tided over their difficulties amazingly; and
we have learned Of no cases OF actual suffer
ing from cold or hunger during the winter.
1t has been voted to have free high school
