THE SAMOAN MATTER.

The statements by ex-Consul-General
Sewall of Samoa, published yesterday
morning, agree, in their recitals Of recent
history concerning the Samoan difficulty,
with the position taken and facts stated in
these columns for many months. 1t is
remarkable that, with the exception OF
the San Francisco Alto, no others OF
the California press were alive to
the condition of affairs in Samoa until
very recently. Indeed, in the earlier his
tory of the trouble the San Francisco
press, with the exception stated, were
either given TO ridiculing the warnings OF
ex-Consul Greenebaum and castigatine
him for his bold stand against the aggres-
sions of the Germans in Samoa, or else re-
manned indifferent to the Importance TO
the coast Of preserving the independence
OF the island kingdom.
General Sewalis charges against the
State Department of faith not kept with
Malietos, Of solemn promises broken and
pledges violated and of acquiescence in
German invasion of Samoan and American
rights, are humiliating and certainly put
that department in an attitude that the
refusal of Mr.. Bayard to reply makes
most exasperating. General SewaIl must
have spoken as he did with full knowledge
Of the ability OF the State Department to
controvert his statements if they are not
accurate. The assumption Of their entire
verify must therefore prevail. IT. then,

BALLOT REFORM.

The San Francisco Aha objects to the
stub ballot-book system on account of the
numbering regulation-the placing of
numbers consecutively in the book of bal
lots upon the back or face of each, with
duplication upon the stub. 1t shows
beyond possibility of successful denial that
by that system the election officers will, by
consulting the poll list, have an infallible
index for ascertaining, in detail, how every
elector voted. We are gratifed that our
contemporary has at last discovered this
vital error in the new bill. The RECORD
UNION pointed it out three or more weeks
ago and has repeatedly emphasized the
dangerous character of the proposition, by
exposing the ease with which the voter
can be enslayed under it.
The Alta also points out that the pro-
posed Law does not make AN effort to COR
rect the evils of the present in the election
of Election Boards. This failure, also, the
RECORD UNION pointed out the moment
the bill was made public But our San
Francisco contempory is in error when it
says:
The proposed law cannot guard against the
appointment, as ballot clerks and inspectors of
men of The same class as those who have in the
past brought the ballot into contempt If as il
Is claimed, dishonest election officers have in
the past been hired to stuff bsllot-boxes. and
fraudulently miscount the ballots deposited
therein, the same or similar men appointed
under the same or similar influences. may, with
as much ease, be hired or infiuerced to do other
wrcngfol acts in violation of the proposed law.
The Jaw can be framed so as to require
the appointments to be made by the Su-
perior Court after notice, and full oppor-
tunity to challenge those drawn from
among whom the officers are to be selected,
and throw the guards of the jury system
and the Courts about the selection. Beyond
this, perhaps, We cannot go; if then dis
honest men are still chosen, we must suf-
fer, since trust must be reposed somewhere.
The .AiG thinks that so long as The pos
sibility of corruptible ballot clerks re-
NAMED
There would be very little difficulty in some
Interested person procuring at least one prints d

ton of the Endorsement OF the names or initials
OF the ballot clerks, as required BY the proposed

IT is a sharp criticism upon the ease
with which person can become citizen
of the United States, that it now develops
that the chief witness in the Irish con-
spiracy cases was spy in the United
States for the English Government for
many. years. and became a United States
citizen for the purpose. As such he took
an active part in American politics, and
ran for public Office. If now the require
ment was that, say fifteen years residence
must be had before one could apply for
citizenship, foreign spies would be COM
PEELED to remain aliens long enough to
render it improbable that they would then
forswear allegiance to all foreign princes,
potentates and powers, with the cool in
tention of violating their oaths

the purchase price made TO depend on his
bringing out Of the pollingpl &c another blank
ballot similarly Endorsed with the name or
initials OF the ballot clerks. As no voter hay
ing once entered a polling booth. is to be al
lowed TO lesve without depositing his ballot or
delivering it up to be cancelled, il viii be seen
that the bringing out of a blank ballot will be
conclusive evidence to the purchaser that the
corrupted voter has earned his pay by deposit
ing the prepared ballot. The blank ballot
thus brought out may be similarly prepared,
and by repeating this process, droyes Of pur-
chasable men may be voted like sheep"
But if the suggestion made in these
columns touching that danger is adopted,
the evil will be prevented. In the Young
Mems Democratic League bill there is
also suggested method of avoiding the
danger. We proposed that the ballots
should be neither numbered nor Endorsed,
but that if they are printed or engraved
with a vignette or device across both bal
lot and stub, and these are prepared by
the Secretary of State or board of Off
Gals, the ballot cannot be easily counter
feited, especially if the device is changed
for every election. If the ballot is pro-
cured from the Election Board, and one
returned to it before the voter leaves the
booth, the officers can detect counter
feited ticket. But the League bill suggests
a stub number also, and one likewise upon
the end of the ballot. When the voter
returns the ballot, if the end number is
found to correspond with the stub, the
ballot number is detached, and the ballot
then cast. But that bill requires the dis
severed numbers to be retained and sealed
up-it would be better to have them
at once destroyed. The extended de.
bate upon this question must develop
some means for avoiding the confessed
violation of the secresy of the ballot
which is not now sufficiently guarded, but
is better SO than in any other State of the
Union

Mrs. HARRISON, wife of the President
elect, is sensible woman. She has made
the protection theory practical by declar-
ing her intention to patronize home dress
makers instead of sending her money to
modistes in foreign countries. Mrs. Harri-
son goes so far as to say that American
"artists" in dress designing and making
have SO much advanced in the last few
years, that their productions, in her
opinion, are quite as tasteful and gem
orally as good as those of the Parisians.
AT any rate they are good enough in her
opinion for the Presidents wife, and what
is good enough for her ought to satisfy any
American woman.

Mr.. SToRY's ballot-counting system
which he has presented to the Legislature
is excellent, and he has demonstrated its
practicability. But we do not understand
that his scheme touches the reform pro-
posed in the matter of casting the ballot.
1t is not alone in the ascertainment of the
result of an election that fraud is common,
but in the defeat of the secrecy of the bal
lot. If it is possible for the elector to be
driven to the polls under COW by those who
wish to use him, then the necessity exists
for revision of our system SO as to insure to
the voter that privacy in preparation of
his ballot that is the guaranty for securing
expression of his real wishes as a sovereign.

HOWEVER much party strife may be in
furious to republic, it must be confessed
that party enmity operates as watch
upon the organization that has control of
the Government. If it had not been for
the criticism to which Mr.. Bayard has
been exposed by his political opponents,
and the watchfulness which they have ex-
ercised over his policy, the Samoan affair
would never have become amatter of much
public concern.
