A CORRESPONDENT asks why is it
that cylones, tornadoes, etc, occur
on Sunday much more often than
on any other day of the week. The
religious editor, having ruminated
upon the question, answers that the
extra and prodigious amount of
wickedness displayed on that day
throws nature into covulsions.

The Rev. DIR. Scott, the father of
Mrs. Harrison, still remains at his
desk in the Pension Bureau. His
daughters and the president himself
have tried to make him believe that
there is no longer any necessity for
his continuing to work. But he
cannot be induced to surrender his
position. Shortly after the election
Mrs. Harrison wrote to her father
asking him to resign, and saying
that as soon as they came to Wash
ingtOn she would expect him to live
at the White House. This letter
was accompanied by note from
Gen. Harrison, who made the same
request, and was written i'm such n
cordial strain as to leave no doubt of
its sincerity. But the old gentleman
wrote to his daughter saying that
while he should be glad to be fire.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo, has a curiosity
"a Guinea negress, who is believed
to be 100 years old. She claims to
have helped make the first clearing
where the first house in Springfield,
Mo, now is. The oldest inhabitants,
those who can look back forty OF
fifty years, can remember old Aunt
Hannah as being an old woman
even then. She has middle-aged
great-grand-children living there
now. She uses both whisky and to-
bacco to excess. The question
naturally arises how much longer
would her life have been prolonged
if she had not ruined "a fine consti-
tuition by over-indulgence IN those
pernicious habits. 1t is at least a
warning to all those who are given
to those habits.

The Australian Ballot system.
Memphis Avalanche.


The bill known as the Lawson bill, re-
Gently introduced into the legislature of
Alabama by Mr.. Lawson. seeks to purify
elections. The bill in brief provides that
the only lawful tickets to be used in cleo
tions shall be prepared by the legally
constituted authorities, and each ticket
shall contain the names of all the candi-
dates who wish to be voted for, and if
any voter desires to cast ballot for any
man whose name is not printed on the
ticket, he is at liberty to supply the
omission by writing the name of the in
diyidual, together with the Office which
he aspires to. 1t seems that this method
is modelled after the Australian election
law, and really seems to meet all the re-
quirements of the Southern problem bet
ter than any other plan which has been
suggested.
The voter must select his own candi-
dates by this arrangement, making
cross mark opposite the names on the
ticket which he wishes TO vote for, and
he cannot be interfered with nor advised
in making his selections under severe
penalties. Neither is he at liberty to
take q ticket away from the polls in order
to prepare it for the ballot box.
This scheme directly applies the test as
to the voters qualification to exercise
the suffrage, without any circumlocution
or f1ne-spun theories. If he is capable of
performing the functions of an intelli-
gent voter, which alone should entitle
him to cast a vote, then he is capable
of making his own selections, without
dictation or coercion from any outside
source. If he does not possess this de-
gree of intelligence it would be just as
rational to bestow the privilege of the
ballot upon goats, sheep or mules.
This method of voting would seem to
afford the most absolute security against
fraud or intimidation in elections, re-
quiring every voter to stand literally
upon his own bottom, to rely solely upon
his own Judgment, and to exercise in the
most unlimited degree the prerogatives
of free man and citizen.
The Avalanche heartily cOmmends this
plan to all state legislatures, and 20 the
legislature of Tennessee in particular.
1t is not an untried experiment, but has
been thoroughly tested with perfectly sat
isfactory results.

A Good Town.
San Antonio Express

In mentioning Texas towns whose mer-
chants are liberal advertisers the Fort
Worth GAZETTE rightly heads the list
with San Antonio. An instance in point
is furnished by the Express which recent
lY had an experience unique in Texas
journalism. The rush of advertising
matter had been so great and the news
space of the paper had become so re-
stricted that the management found it
necessary to buy space from its advertl-
sers. This was done at the rate of two
dollars for one, and after considerable
trouble two columns were secured into
which to dump the telegraph matter.
This fact is mentioned not as a puff for
the Express, but simply as an indica-
ton of the splendid business character of
San Antonio. 1t is probably the first
time in the history of the trade in this
state that morning paper has been COM
PEELED to purchase at double rate from
its own patrons.
