After w uItum In ParvO

Editor ARGUS:
JosLIN, July 20-The account of the
election here, as given by your local cor
respondent, demands notice. But first,
remember that the acts charged are
equivalent to frauds on the ballot pun
ishable by by fine and Imprisonment.
Such charges have been freely made dur
ing the last five years. We have had
enough of them. II "Multum in Parvo''
had been half as willing to acquaint him
self with the law and the facts in this
case as he was to blacken his neighbors'
reputation, he might have learned that
the polls were closed in an orderly and
lawful manner, and at the appointed
time. This last statement may be dis
puted, but stand ready to back il up.
The remainder Of his talk is irrelevant
since custom cannot override law, and
besides one or two cases do not establish
a custom.
more serious charge is that the polls
were closed arbitrarily in order to shut
out democratic votes. II the closing
was in conformity with the law, no fel.
onoius or fraudulent intent can be i'm.
puted to the judges. They did lust
what was their duty TO do. Supervisor
Whiteside emphatically declares that
when he made the proclamation of the
closing of the polls he did not know apy
person was present or coming desiring TO
vote. When "Multum in Parvop dis
patched his report to the ARGUS he
knew Supervisor Whiteside had made
such statement. Therefore, "Multum
In Parvo" goes before the public giving
the lie direct to Mr.. Whiteside.

1t is not likely that President Harrison
aud select an assortment of criminals for
public office.-Poplar Bluff Republic.
The above is fair sample of the ut
| terances Of the malicious and irrespon-
sibIe ISLANDERS with which the Republic
| teens. Cleveland's administration is
as clean as any " bich America has ever
hal, and cleaner than any the Repub-
lcan party ever gave it. But, to listen
to this slanderer, one would believe
that a search had been made for Grim
iuals, that they might be appointed to
office since 1854.
In the light of the above utterance
we would ask, was it'Lamont or Bah
cock, Grants or Cleveland's private
secretary. who was a member of the
whiskey ring? Was it the edit " of the
Republic or the GtObe who shared in
this rings spnil>? Was Mcdonald a
Democrat or Republican,? Was it Bel
KNAPP "r Endicott, Secretary of War,
who resigned to avoid impeachment for
stealages?
Were Brady, Kellogg and Dorsey
Democrats or Republicans? Was
Cakes Ames a Democrat or Republican
congressman? Was Schuyler Colfax a
Democratic or Republican ex-Vice-
President? Was the Credit Mobilier
fraud, for which they were expelled
from Congress. a Democratic or Repub-
lcan scheme? Have Democratic gov
ernors and other officials stolen mil
lions from the State of Missouri in the
shape of railroads, or was it Republic
cans who did it? Have Democratic
State conventions ever nominated men
for State Office who were defrauders of
pensioners?
Answer these things, Mr.. Editor of
the Poplar Bluff Republic. There is
one consolation to be drawn from the
above extract. 1t seems that the chief
priest of the Republican party in this
section will be passed over in the dis
tribution of public pap.
Be a little more careful in your insin-
uatiOns, Bro. Crumb.

Srys the Bonnie Terre Register in
reference TO the recent hanging of Pres
ident Cleveland in effigy at that place:
1t would be charitable to suppose that the
Sermin who do such dirt had even enough
sense of decency to be ashamed oftheir work
aud hence covered it with the mantle of dark
ness it would, however, be probably nearer
correct to assume that cowardice was the
motive of their concealment, and that they
are too low u breed of brutes to have any
sense Of shame.
All true enough; yet how much dirt
Ter was the action of certain "high-ton-
ed" Republicans -Chauncey NJ. De-
pew, candidate for the nomination
for President, the New York Tribune,
certain ministers of the gospel, and
others - during the late campaign!
Filthy, villa:nous lies, duplicating not
only the Pre- sident, but his household,
were handed about, from mouth TO
mouth, by these Puritanic. God-and-
morality blackguards. And yet they
claim to be the salt and intelligence of
the earth! With such examples in
high place, what may not be expected
from the dregs of their following? Here

The Australian System.

An effort will be made this winter
| t. change the election laws i'm this
state and adopt the Australian system.
| 1t is impossible to predict how the
| change will he viewed by the law
makers, but the system has many adj
| vocates and few critics.
1t is well understood that in large
cities the present law does not afford
| voters the protection desired. EN-
ployers frequently interfere with work
men and compel them to vote con-
trary to their wishes. 1t is not neces-
sary to explain the various practices
resorted to, as the public is well in
fcrmed regarding the same. The most
important question ia, how can the
voter be efftctually protected and per-
mited to vote as he pleaSes?
The Australian system has never
been tried in this country, but from
casual examination it appears to con-
tain many commendahle features.
The ballots are printed under the
direction of officers and kept at the
polls. The voter is allowed one ticket
only, which contains the names of all
the candidates and ample space to
write in names. Being supplied with
ballot, the voter enters an apartment
hy himself and prepares his ticket,
which Is deposited with the election
officers and counted in the usual way
In cases where the voter is unable to
write, the judges prepare the ballot as
he dictates. No one is permitted APP
proach the voter under any pretext.
Advocates of the system say that
election bosssm will be one of the lost
arts when such law is enacted, and
that the people WHO SILL their votes
will find tie market closed and their
occupation gone. Men who bug votes
always want to see the goods deliver
ed, something impossible under the
proposed law.
The new move will be thoroughly
discussed this winter and many points
developed which are now unknown.
The people will endorse any change
which tends to protect a free and fair
ballot, and if the Australian plan de-
velOps as predicted 10y its advocates, it
will not be surprising if the legisla-
ture enacts it into a law of the state

Bonnie Terre Register: "a terrible
tragedy was enacted at Old Mines,
Washington county, on Christmas
morning. Leon Deane and Derville
Boyer who were cousins, it seems were
not on good terms i'm consequence of
Bnyer's alleged too great intimacy with
Deane's wife. On last Monday morn
ing Deane left home for De Soto and
did not return until late hour Mon
day night or rather Tuesday morning.
On his return home he found Boyer
asleep on the floor and his wife occupy
ing a bed in the opposite corner of the
room. DeaDe at once procured an ak
and struck the sleeping man blow
with it, splitting his skull and killing
him instantly. Deane is now in the

The feminine performer" of to-day
will not take kindly to the following
truism, uttered years ago by an emf
nent jurist and statesman:
Just as the extent of a woman's power is
evidenced beyond her home circle and her
honest suitors, just in that proportion are
there so many drafts upon her store of that
quality of womanliness and loveliness, which
is not inexhaustible when subjected to such
strain. Her greatest powers are gentleness
and sympathy, and 4 nation can better afford
to leave hundred sons dead on the field
than to take these two qualities from ten OF
her daughters.
