We are told that the Democratic mine. owners
spent money like water' In shaping the cam
paign to control the Legislature. They iesorted
to every expedient to fix the result to SUIT their
own ends, and we are unable to see wherein they
found the secre ballot system more serious OBJ
stace in their path than the old system of voting.
Does the Wing mean to say that it is no
obstacle to briber to bar him out so that be
cannot assure himself that the vote he has
bought is delivered Under the old system
the briber had the evidence of his own eyes
that the vote he bought was delivered. I'm
der the new system he has merely the word
of one of the lowest of the low. Can the
Wing see no difference? AS to the ire
mendous expenditure of money by the Demo-
cratic mine owners, it seems for some reason
to have failed to defeat the Republican can
didate for Congress and the Legislative
contest was so close that these plutocrats
felt it necessary to supplement their money
by fraudulent returns.

Would the Wing care to tell the voters of

other with fraud, or that it would prevent

nor are charges Of fraud or dishonest re
turning officers SO common In Maine as to

couragement and protection; But the Wing

The Virginia Democrats are evidently
getting frightened. They have been doing
very little systematic canyassing, relying
upon the notion that Malone was beaten
from the start. Lately, however, there have
seen SO many signs that Malone has been
making inroads into their forces that they
have now decided to make thorough can
vass. As election day is at hand their time
Is rather limited, and their fear is that 1t is
altogether too limited for their purpose.

Some Alleged Objections TO Ra lot
Reform.

The opponents of ballot reform in this
state do not like the testimony that is COM
ing In from States where the Australian sys.
TEN is tried and found satisfactory. Gov
ernor Buckley, Of Connecticut. las testified
that from his own observation in the recent
election In his own State. he finds that vot-
Ing can be done under the new system "as
quickly and with less disorder" than under
the old system. The leading papers of both
parties In that State confirm the observation
Of Gov. Bulkeley that the system worked
successfully. Yet the Bangor Wing passes
over all this near and reliable testimony,
and gathers some newspaper reports from
one or two frontier precincts in Montana, to
bolster up its argument that system which
can be understood by voters In Australia, in
England. In Connecticut. and which, in the
belief of the Massachusetts, legislature, can
be understood in that State. is too compli-
Gated to be mastered by the intelligence of
Maine voters. Says the Wing:
We have on our desk an official sample Of the
On lot for Silver Bow County. That ballot is
wide anc bears the names OF eight-two candidates.
~ Is not surprising, that as has been stated
good many men were DISTINGUISHED in Montana
the time allowed by the law. 1t is a formidable
Job for any man to take a ballot almost yard
long and check Il accurately In the five minutes
allowed him. We venture the opinion that q very
large majority ofihe honest ana Intelligent voters
q Maine II shown one Of these ballots and asked
tney wanted 10 Introduce such a system In this
State would answer no very emphatically.
Before any Maine voter accepts this argu-
ment it should be shorn of its exaggerations.
The ticket in the city of Portland at the last
State election contained seventeen names.
In no other city of the State would ticket
contain SO many names. because Cumber.
land county has four Senators and Portland
i've Representatives. In the average village
and town in Maine the candidates of party
would number about eleven. The official
ballot under tho Australianisystem contains
ME names OF the candidates of all parties.
But In Maine there are never more than four
parties in the field; SO instead Of the so names
on the Montana ticket, there would not, on
Maine ticket, be over so names on. an average
while In the exceptional case OF Portland
there would be only 68 names. Then again,
the time for marking the ballot al
lowed by the bill proposed in Maine
Is not five minutes, but ten. So the
bugbear which the Wing holds up before the
Maine voters must be scaled down nearly
enc half in bringing 1t from Montana to
Maine. But 1t may be urged that, while 30
names are not so many as 50, they are yet
enough to give the Maine voter much trouble.
30 they might were they jumbled together
without order. But under the reform pro-
posed for this State they would be so plainly
arranged that child might mark the ballot.
The State ticket last September would have
been arranged In this way:

In speaking of the Hunt gambling
bill, Middleton expressed the opinion thai
"half a loaf is better than no bread" In
some instances this is true, and notably
SO in the case of the Hunt gambling act
The Hunt bill is all that is required al
the present time. Montana has no need
Of putting on Puritanical robes. Some
people are never satisfied with accom-.
plishing acts of goodness in miniature
and detail. If they cannot move mount
aims. they want to do nothing but growl'
Some of these impracticable people re-
side in Montana. They are determined
to sweep evil from the Territory in one
feel swoop, or else defeat all efforts to do
the same by degrees. 1t would seem that
those impracticable theorists have united
with the sure-thing dacoits in an effort
to defeat Hunts gambling bill. The lat
ter object to it because it does some
good; the former oppose it because it does
not accomplish the practically impossi-
BILE. Thus its advocates are between the
horns of two rather unimportant though
blatant dilemmas. The proper thing to
do is to preserve the golden mean. Pass
the bill as it is. Should Montana find it
practicable at a future day, to pass an
other bill, it can do so; and the present
action would not interfere Herewith in
the least.

A DECISION just rendered by the Su-
preme Court of the United States makes
it plain, "Bradstreet's' thinks, that con-
gressional legislation will be necessary
to secure to commercial travellers in the
territories the immunity from taxation
which they now enjoy in the states un-
der the decisions of the Supreme Court.
A commercial traveller who was convicted
under a Montana statute for selling goods
without having secured a license ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court, but that
tribunal dismissed his application for a
writ of error. It declared that it was
unable to find any statutory authority
granting it jurisdiction over criminal
cases arising In the territories, except
where statutes or treaties Of the United
States are brought into question. It
would seem under this decision that
legislation by the territories imposing
taxes upon commercial travellers cannot
be annulled by the courts. The matter
is one In which Congress should inter-
vene. The law in relation to commercial
travellers taxes should be uniform. It
will not do to have those taxes enforced
in the territories and not in the states.
Congress might set the whole matter at
rest by passing a comprehensive act pro-
hibiting the imposition of snch taxes

This is a step in the right direction; but
Senator Plumb had a better idea still.
He opposed the amendment, and pro-
posed instead to strike out the entire
paragraph. He considered that the
country had been damaged by its foreign
representatives. However that be, can

New YORK CITY and Brooklyn are in
the throes Of a big surface street car
strike, nearly all the lines in both cities
being affected. The active trouble began
at Brooklyn, last Saturday, on the Allan
tic avenue line. Although there are
doubtless two sides to the story, the As
ISOLATED Press has given the public but
the one side, that Of the companies.
Among the alleged ~"exorbitant demands
Of tho strikers are that the company pay
for six trips what he had previously paid
for seven; also shortening hours for Sun
day work, additional provisions for
switching, etc. One Of these demands ne
cessitates an additional expense, it is
