Is not usually classed and definitely esti-

Maine In recent years the summer visitors
have been estimated at their true worth,
however. and in New Hampshire the cash

Speaking OF the Massachusetts voting sys-
TEN the Kennebec Democrat makes this errc.
neous observation:
In Massachusetts no voter can vote for any per-
son unless ne Is a nominee OF party which casts
certain number OF votes at a caucus or conyen-
ton. The kicker cannot kick, nor q personal
friend OF candidate vote for his nsighbor. The
ballots are party ballots In the strictest sense.
This should be corrected.
The name of candidate cannot be printed
on the official ballot unless he is nominated
by party of sufficient size to be dignlfied by
the name of party; but for every office
there is left "a blank space on which every
voter who wishes to cast a vote for friend
or for anyone else not regular nominee,
may Urite the name, as he writes his own
ballot under the present system. The obser-
walton Of the Kennebec Democrat is founded
on an entirely erroneous conception of the
Massachusetts law.

BALLOT REFORM DESTINED TO COME.
[Pittsfeld Advertiser.l
Some of the State papers are uuarreling
over the Australian ballot system. Both
sides make out pretty strong case. but it
seems evident that ballot reform In the
direction of secret voting is destined to
come sooner or later. The Australian sys
TEN possesses Objectionable features, but
they will doubtless be eliminated by time
and experience.
AN IMPROVEMENT.
[Rockland Free Press1
With our present light we cannot agree
with the Bangor Wing or the Pennington
Chronicle that the>Australian system is no
better than the one we have now. Until
more serious defects are discovered in it
than any yet pointed out by our Massachu-
sets CONTEMPORARIES, we think it would be an
Improvement

The Australian system of balloting has
been tried in the balance during the recent
elections aid according to the testimony of
all, has not been found wanting. This
practical experience In the workings of the
system has done more to win it favor tina n
all the eloquence of its supporters in the
late legislature. The argument of op-
ponents, that it has defects, is a silly method
OF proving its non-utility. Between two
great evils chnosp the lasSar

Corporal Tanner has opened an office in
Washington and advertises himself as PEN
Son claim agent. But he is as incapable as
ever Of keeping his mouth shut and attend
ing to business. His latest performance has
been the writing of letter in which he ac-
cuses President Harrison of being forced to
make the change In the pension office by
pressure being brought to bear by moneyed
men of the East, who objected to having the
surplus distributed to the veterans. These
performances are unpleasant to everyone
but Corporal Tanner and the Democrats
but the effect of them is small. The veter-
ans are thinking men, and they know that
no nation was ever SO liberal in paying pen
sions as Is this, and that no President was
ever more friendly to the veteran than is
Mr.. Harrison, who is a veteran himself.
