the outdoor ticket system was
incorporated into the now election
law, as against the Australian
system" only passed the Legislature
by the skin of its teeth, eighteen
mobiles and representatives voting
for, and seventeen against.
1t viii be remembered that the
grounds on which the secret ballot
was discarded were, briefly, that a
considerable number Of voters in the
kingdom are illiterate and would
need to have their ballots marked
for them anyway. 1t remains to be
seen, and the election Of 1890 will
probably show, whether the action
Of our Legislature in this particular
was wisely taken. Whatever the
result may be year hence, there
can be little doubt Of the ultimate
adoption of the secret ballot in this
kingdom and in all probability
throughout the United States.

We will obey the laws, we will
perform the duties of good citizens,
we will treat those in Office with
courtesy and such measure Of out
ward respect as the circumstances
seem to require, but we regard them,
one and all, as public servants, hold
ing their positions, not to lord 1t
over others, but to do useful and
necessary work for the state. We
hold it to be both our privilege and
our duty to observe their conduct,
form our own honest opinions of the
way in which they do their work,
and Of their fitness for the positions
they hold, in respect both to char

those opinions freely ana fearlessly,
at all proper times and places.
These are the very A B. G. Of
political and personal rights, and
even should their exercise sometimes
run into some excess Of latitude, our
freedom of speech is infinitely pre-
ferable to that abject and slavish
attitude which " An Observer so

representing the views Of this

doctrines epithets stronger than his
language warrants, will insert the
following specimen brick: In my

early childhood, that Office is en-
shrouded with an inseparable dig

Strip the subject of his Offices dig

which his personal character is
worthy of, you sap the very founda-

an anarchical dissolution"
How is that? "No matter what
may be the personal character of the
incumbent, or how meagre his intel
lectual abilities may be, the majesty
of his Office wells all else, etc" The
writer of the above seems to regard
free speech and English grammar
with equal animosity. don't be

THE DAILY
BALLOT REFORM HERE AND ELSE
WHERE.

What is generally known as the
Australian system of secret voting
was inaugurated III New South
Wales, where, under its provisions,
bribery and other abuses at cleo
tions are claimed to have collapsed.
AT all events, the experience Of its
working was so satisfactory that the
other Australian colonies soon fol
lowed suit, and all with such good
results that even England, with
all her conservatism, stopped, for at
least once, to take leaf ont of the
colonial statute book.
Before the passage of the secret
ballot" law in Great Britain, it was
a matter of common notoriety, based
on innumerable instances, and
proved by Parliamentary investiga-
tions in cases of contested seats.
that the elections in many parts of
the country we're little better than
wild riots of bribery, corruption,
and rufianism. OF late years.
elections are admitted to have be-
come such in reality as well as in
name-the candidate securing his
seat by actually receiving the largest
number of honest votes.
The new system was introduced
in Canada in 1868, and within the
last few years has become a promi-
nent subject of discussion in a mum
Der of States of the American Union.
So far as we are informed, Massa-
chusetts leads the way, the Austria
liam system having been already
adopted in that Commonwealth. to
go into effect some time during the
present year. A law for reforming
the methods Of conducting elections
in New York, embodying substanti
ally the same features, was prepared
with great care and passed by the
legislature of 1883, but vetoed bv the
Governor. A bill of the same char
acter has just been killed in the Cali
fornia Legislature, where it was sup
posed to have good prospect of sue
cess. Notwithstanding such set backs,
the question of ballot reform is be-
comingyearly more prominent in the
United States, and Will doubtless
soon be practically tested on large
scale in that country.
Hawaii came very near getting in
ahead of almost all the American
communities, in order of time, in
making provision for an absolutely
secret ballot. The motion by which

A LEGEND OF ANCIENT SAMOA.

1t was long ago in the palmy days
When the earth was young and green,
Two island chiefs with caunibIl ways,
Drew swords in a sylvan scene.
They called their clans from the Ieafy
PLAIN
And the rugged mountain side,
TIL each had marshalled wariike train,
And boldly mis- foe defed.
They met with a crash in the peaceful
vale,
And they made frightful din.
They shOWered their blows like wintry
hail;
But neither seemed to win.
High up in the air near fiery Mars,
Two eagles on wing looked down,
And one had a collar Of silver stars,
And one had d golden crown.
The eagle who wore the crown, spoke
Il pray thee, brother, attend;
Let's help put one OF the fellows 10 rout
And the ether viii stand our iliend.
For birds Of prey must sometimes build
Inelr nests on foreign strand,
AND our edglets' gizzards may we'll be
In this rich cannibaI land
But he Of the collar OF stars replied
My brother, this must not be:
Let others their own affairs decide;
There is room il my home for thee.
And look you, the lion is lurking near
Awaiting his chances like you.
He's picking his teeth with broken
spear,
And pleased with a meal in view.
l know he is pledged to see fair play;
So friend, you had better wait,
And not swOop down in a covetous way,
10 sorrow when all too late"
But he Of the crown spake fierce and hot
Re are all OF humble breed;
/ have muzZled the lion and fear thee
not;
Ye may follow, but shall lead"
Wen, words grew strong and threats
came thick,
But neither quailed nor f1inched,
Until, with movement fercea and quick,
The angry eagles clinched.
The feathers few till the air grew dark
And the cannibals stopped amazed
To see the eagles on such lark;
They wondered and guessed and gazed.
The sly old lion, he softly purred,
And wreathed his face with smiles;
And then he arose with never a word,
And gobbled the cannibal isles.

The PubIie VIII Appreciate 1t

The public are Indebted to the Royal
Baking Powder Company not more fer hav-
ing perfected and prepared q leavenUng
agent that is pure and wholesome beyond
question than for its exposures so boldly
made, OF tie numerous impure, aduIterated
and Injurious articles that are sold under
the name Of baking powders, bread prepar-
atIons, etc. throughout the country. In
making these exposures the company has, OF
course, made itself the target for al of
counter attacks. but the RnImus of these at
tacks has been perfectly understood by the
general public, and by their very TIrul snce
have served TO more prominently call at
tention to the good work of the Royal
Company.
Ordinary adulteratiOns such as are found
In coffee, spices. etc, although they are
swindles IN a commercial sense, are often
tolerated because they do not particularly
affect the health OF the consumer. But
when an article ike baking powder, that is
relied upon for the healthful preparation of
almost every meal, is so made as TO carry
highly injurious IL not rankly poisonous ele,
neuts into our daily food, it is the duty Of
the public authorities to take cognIzance o:
il.
In this fight for pure food made by the
Royal" Company, it is TO be noticed that
the most trustworthy scientific authorities
are emphatically upon its side. In all the
contests OF this company with the alum and
other impure baking powders the result las
proved that every statement made by the
Royal Baking Powder Company. both as to
the purity of ITS own and the adulteratiOn
of other baking powders OF the market. was
fully authorized by the most competent
chemical aud medical authorities OF the
country.
In this contest two facts have been pretty
concIusivaIy settled in the minds of the pub
Iic-the first that the Royal Company has
found the means, and uses them, to make
chemically pure article Of food aud the
other that the market Is full OF poisonous,
alum and other adulterated baking powders
which. no matter how strongly endorsed by
commercial chemists, are to be studious-
ly aYoided.
a pure baking powder is one Of the chief
aids 10 the cook in preparing perfect and
wholesome food. The recent controversy
in the press has left 1t no longer question
with those who desire purity and whole
someuess Of food what baking powder they
shalt use.
