Stir up the animals, Charley, an d
bring out those that growl," said Judge
Aylesworth yesterday morning to Jailer
White, as he took II parting Whit of Il
Senator and opened the police docket
with Il grace and dexterity born of long
and continued practice. Charley" did
as directed. and every inmate of the
cage was evidently II GROWER, at least
each bore evidence of having rushed
the GROWER" to Il very considerable de-
gree, as they were marched out mt an
ranged in line for judicial inspection.
Thomas III. Jones had growled times
almost without number, and had made
such II racket hat he was fined $3.50.
Il. Baker was another who had
growled indefinitely, but he insisted
that his mutterings were all with bated
breath, and stated hat he had created
no disturbance. The court was of the
opinion that his breath was whisky
tainted, but nevertheless continued the
case for additional evidence.
Charles Mcbride was IL vagrant who
had emitted one single, solitary growl
and he was ordered TO make tracks for

submitting to such injuries, and Rhodes
was fined 80 go for intlicting them. The
latter was able to liquidate, but Jacob
had to meander back into the box.

Notes in a Bar Of Sunlight.

Counting the dancing notes in bar
of sunshine sounds like one OF those
hopeless, never-ending tasks with which
malignant fairies delight to break the
spirit of little heroines in the German
folk stories. Something more than
this, however, has been achieved by
modern science, which is now able to
count the particles floating in any given
portion of the atmosphere, and deter
mine what proportion of these are
dangerous germs and what are mere
dust. DIR. Franklin's curious expert
ments have shown us how to count the
micro organisms, and now John Aitken,
of Falkirk, by totally different meth
cd, has been enabled to take stock of
the more harmless but hardly less in
teresting dust notes. Thirty thousand
such particles have been detected 10y
him in the thousandth of a cubic inch
of the air of o room. In the outside
atmosphere in dry weather the same
measurement of air yielded 2,119,
whereas after heavy rainfall the num-
Der was only 521. That this power of
prying into atmospheric secrets will
eventually yield very important results
must be obvious to all. Among the
most curious discoveries already made
is the direct relation between dust par
ticles and fog, mist and rain.

in order to prevent excessive and ire
sponsible candidacy. Some methods fur
nish sort Of sentry-box in which the
ticket is prepared, but the .partitioned
shelf is the usual plan. Arrangements
for the Identification of the official bal
lots, Withdrawals of candidates, aud
space for additional names are also made.
The Dominion elections act, in force in
Canada, was passed in 1874, and is le-
garded as one of the best conceiv cd among
the various statutes dealing with the sub
ject. 1t provides that twenty five electors
may nominate a candidate; that the nom
ination paper must contain the consent in
writing of the person nominated, and that
the sum of $50 must be paid to the return
ing officer at the time of handing in tho
nomination paper. 1t il provided as in
the English statute, that no informality
shall vitiate the election, if the principles
of the act have been followed, and if the
result of tie election has not been affected.
Fears have sometimes been expressed
that the new method Of marking the vote
would have difficulties for the less intelli-
gent voters, but the result has showed
these to be gioundless. For instance. mt
the Leeds election of 1874, out of 81, 1893
votes only eighty were void for uncer-
tainty or failure to mark. In the Kent
election only thirty-two votes out of 49,
900 were lost for uncertainty. and these
we're the first trials of the system, and in
places where illiteracy reaches its height.
AS regards polling arrangements under
the new system, it was found that at the
time of greatest pressure land that under
the cumbrous English provisions for TAX
ing the votes of illiterates) votes could be
received ut the rate of from $50 to 200 per
hour, and this even where only private
compartments were provided at each
polling-place.
The leading device for defeating the Sc
cret ballot is known as the Tasmanian
dodge. BY it the elector manages to sub
stitute spurious ballot FOR the official
one given him by the ballot clerk and
takes the official ballot TO the man who is
buying votes outside. He marksit in ink,
and gives it to one of his purchases, who
enters the Enclosure, votes tho marked
ticket, and takes the blank ticket to the
man outside. This can be obviated by
the system of marking tho ballot when it
is given to the elector. The advantages of
the Australian system of voting have been
far more than its drawbacks, and now that
it has received thorough trial under
widely varying conditions, the prospect
for its adoption in Illinois entities it to
careful consideration.

GUARDING THE BALLOT.
THE AUSTRALIAN SYSTEM OF VOTING
EXPLAINED.

Details OF q Method which Is Becoming
Widely Popular in This Country Wig
more's Recently Published Work ON the
Plan-Its Origin aad Growth.
In view of the evident need OF an cleo
toral reform in this country, says the Chi
caRo Inter Ocean, and of the prominence
with which the Australian method of yot-
ing has been suggested as q relief, the
work entitled The Australian Ballot Sys-
tenn, by John III. Wigmore, of the Boston
Bar, becomes of unusual interest.
Mr. Wigmore says: 1T is proposed In
the following Introductory pages to sketch
the history OF the measure known as the
Australian ballot system, as 1t passed from
state to state in Australia, on 10 the
mother country in Europe, thence west
ward to Canada, and eastward to conti-
mental countries, and finally westward
again TO these United States, and in con-
olusion to take up briefly the reasons
underlying its effectiveness and the ap-
plication Of its principles to practical con-
ditions in this country"
The system is, briefly, as follows: The
aim is to provide for o secret ballot. To
secure this the ballots are printed at pub
lie expense, the names of all the candi-
dates for oil the offices being on one slip.
The voter, having passed the usual exam
ination as to his eligibility, receives one OF
these slips from ballot officer, and re-
tires alone to an unoccupied compartment
of booth, long counter divided of by
partitions. Here he marks with a cross
the name Of the candidate for whom he
intends to vote, folds up the slip and
hands it to the presiding officer, who de-
posits it in the ballot box.
The plan was introduced by Francis s..
Dutton, member of the Legislature of
South Australia from 1851 to 1865, and
during that time twice at the head Of the

New YORK telegran.l

The fact that President Cleveland, on March
.. is to become member OF the law firm OF
Bangs, stetson, Tracy d. MacVeagh gains u
fr, sh interest when linked, as it is, with the
announcement that Daniel Lamont, hi /,

the best OF the surface street.car traffic in the
country. IL is known in its local branches and
at Albany rs the metropolitan Transfer Com
pany. 1t owns the Brondway line, the Avenue
Z line, and others in New York City, and, unless
the courts interfere, it will soon be whore it
can dictate to all the surface lines in New
York.
1t is the same combination which, represent
cd by @. Il. Yerkes, now owns and operates tho
stroet-car service ON the North and West Sides
The present action OF President Cleveland lis
not q sudden move. In 1884 Ie was invited to
join the firm in the event Of his defeat as the
Democratic candidate, and he was then offered a
salary or guarantee of $4,000 n year. When his
Presidential term was drawing to q close this
offer was renewed under the same conditions,
and this time Mr. Cleveland has found 1t prac-
ticable TO accept.
In these negotiations Mr.. Whitney, who is
largely interested in the syndicate, has beon the
active agent. He 10 was, as he explained a few
DAYS ago that procured for Lamont the position
of President of the Avenue Q line Thus IL wi I
he seen that Mr.. Cleveland will still be In close
relations with his two intimates at WnBhins ton.
Since the death OF Mr.. Manning ID Is we'll known
that no men were so near to the President as
the two mentioned. This intimacy will now DO

of political aspect.
The traction company, as has been said, is
ono Of the mightiest business aggregations OF
the time. It's scope is national and its pecu-
ninry future Is dazzling. Thus the vcissitudes
of po itical life have opened new and magnih-
cent business opportunities.
Mr. Whitneys friendship, reaching back as II
does to tho time whtn Cleveland and Lamont
were together at Albany, and deepened by four
years intimacy at Washington, puts in their
way prizes almost as tempting as the honors
they will soon lay down,
As so many other men who have filled high
public stations have done before them, the
President and his shrewl and faithful secretary
now quit politics and plunge into the vast busi-
ness fife that centers I'm New York City.
At tho next meeting o. the bar association OF
this city Mr.. Cleveland will probably DO elected
