THE FRENCH CRISIS.

The question Of the constitutional re-
terIai crisis in France. The difficulties
of this question seem almost insurmount-
able. All parties agree that revision
must come. bur they cannot egree upon
th4 method. The radicals and the reac-
tlonaries unite 20 insist apon constitu-
eDt assembly, or convention. The mod
crate re pnblicIns are afraid os that and
wish the revisioA to be made by the sen
ate aud the chamber Of deputies in joint
session. This is the government MEASURE
which has just been defeated. 1t is prob
able that the constituent assembly will
have to come. What such body will do,
when once called into -I5teuce, nobody
can venture 80 pr.dict.
TIE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.
Memphis Avalanche.
aThe-e i a mistaken idea abroad that
the AEstr elian ballot system, whose adcp-
tion i5 being so strongly urged upon legis
latures by those whG have made the sub
iecs stujy, is too complicated for the
average voter. This i'm preston, un'ess 1t
can be successfully cOmbatted, may de-
prive the movement OF the earnest sup
port necezsary for ito success. The fact
is that the law is ve-y simple and may he
easily understood by any one who will
take the trouble TO examine it. There
are many notifications Of il, but We will
outline the general plan in as brief a
space as possible. There need be no
quahfication demanded Of voters except
that they shall be of II certain age, but If
desired it may be provided that such
voters shall register say thirty days be,
fore the election, and that they shall not
vcte unless they are registered or can
show some good cause for failure.
The tickets are printed by the state,
county or CITY, and each one contains the
name of every candidate, with blank
space for neE names. One man from !
each party, who can read with case, is ap-
pointed as insF Fector aud the entire com
mIttee sworn TO secrecy. No one else is
permitted to enter the room adjoining
the poll in which the tickets are placed
Voters who can read select their own
tickets, out one cannot request a member
of the committee to give HIM one. He
then hands IL to clerk, folded; the clerk
puts his initials or stamp on the back

Their life is the life of civilization, and their
country is governed well and deliberately
They are perfectly aware of their own rights
and best interests and are rich enough to up

large mercantile establishments, some of them
carrying $50, 600 worth of goods, all owned
and carried on by the CheroEees In Table

state house. and find a government which
contains legislature, executive and Judiciary
You may, if you have a taste that way,
read their code of laws, or hear the two
branches of the legislature discuss new meas

prefer you may ride few miles out of town
