New Election Law.

By far the most important law
which has passed the legislature is
that regulating the manner of con-
Quoting elections. When only a few
weeks ago attention to the need of
such law was called, and referring
to the election law in Australia as a
model, we had but faint expectation
that the legislature Of this State
would take such an advanced step
of reform at the present session,
But now, unexpectedly, we have the
law; how perfect it may be in it's de-
tails cannot now be said; it of course
deviates from the Australian to
adapt it to the condition of things
here. The States which have adopt
ed the Australian system of voting
are Massachusetts,, Indiana, Rhode
Island, Wisconsin and Tennessee.
Bills are now before the legislatures
of New York and Pennsylvania for
like laws. Considering the lateness
which the reform election law first
was agitated, it has made great pro-
gress in this country. The unlawful
methods and the profuse use of
money in controlling elections call
for halt. The rights of the people
must not be bought and sold like
merchandise in the market. The
moral sentiment of the better people
is that the man who sells his vote and
he who buys it are both criminals.
The bill was introduced and taken
charge of by Senator Cooper, of Ra-
cine The title to the bill is "To
prevent espionage at public cleo
tons, to secure more fully the indie

The Bowdoins we're considerably strength
ened yesterday by the presence Of Newman
in the left field. He handled everything
that came in his way in fine shape.
In the three league games played to date
the Bowdoin pitchers have been bstted for
forty with total of flfty-three hits. Isn't it
barely possible that the mines weak spot may
be in the box?
1t was very generally expressed opinion
at the game yesterday that Bowdon would
be stronger with Packard in his old position
on first and Bangs at third. This is ques-
ton however. Packard's only weakness
seems to be in his throwing, but this can be
remedled by prs2tice. Ii must be remem-
bered that he is playing a new position We
predict that he will improve in his playing
there as he goes along.
The opinion which seems to be gaining
ground that the Bowdoins are a weaker hit
ting team than any other in the league. eI-
cept Bates, is, We think, an erroneous one.
Indeed, we consider them the strongest in
this respect Of any team In the league,
Their apparent weakness I the bat "a com.
pared with the Golbys and Maine States, is
due to difference in their pitchers rather
than an inability to bit the ball

business in the box We predict that ths
games which the Bovdoins yin this season
with him in that position will be exceedingly
few and far between. The work which Hill,

promise that he would prove a toser OF
