it far more difficult for the rascals to cor
rupt the ballot-box, and the penalty at
taehed for abuses are such as to make the
venture one of extreme peril, while the
system that requires the State to print the
ballots and prohibits private ballots alto
gether, removes the ticket peddler, and e!-
fectually puts stop to the present method
Of rushing men up to the polls through a
crowd and voting them under the eye of a
boss lieutenant like cattle, or requiring
them to carry their ballots in sight.
The final objections Of our contemporary
is to the length of the ticket, the perplex-
ity of some voters in marking an OK" OPP
posite names, and the time consumed in
counting. All which may be replied to by
the statement that practical trial of the
system proves the contrary. A voter as
readily picks out from one large ballot the
names he wishes to favor, as from hand
full of tickets of the various political par
ties, to say nothing of the half-hundred
halfbreed tickets that are always in the
field on election day in San Francisco.
The judges count and the clerks tally, it
has been demonstrated, 200 ballots of the
one kind as rapidly as they do of the other
But if it consumed under the new system
as much time to count 200 ballots as to
count 400 now, the fact would cut no figure
in the question in view of the immense
advantages and benefits of the new over the
old system.

THE San Francisco Chamber of Com
merce has adopted memorial reciting the
duty of the Federal Government toward
the Sacramento river, the neglect under
which the river has declined to its present
condition, and asking Congress to take i'm
mediate steps for the systematic and per-
manent improvement of the stream. The
memorial recites that in the memory of
men who still live there is recalled the
great depth of the Sacramento river, its
clear waters and its navigability for deep
water ships. 1t points out that because of
the remoteness of the State from the great
mass of population, and the newness of the
State, the Sacramento river has had far
less attention than if it flowed through
some of the Eastern States, but that it is
the property of all the people, and that its
commercial Importance, and its character
as the drainway of the finest valley OF the
nation demand that it should be now
treated according to a comprehensive
scheme and that the Federal Government
owes it to California to no longer neglect
its duty in this matter. The memorial is
timely, strong and will have much infu-
ence in Washington. We trust, now that
the iron is hot. that the striking will be
kept up until the end desired is attained.
The REcoRD-UNIoN began this demand
for Federal treatment of the river years
ago-and for a long time was alone in its
advocacy-On the single ground of the ne
cessity of preserving the navigabiIity of
the stream. 1t has at no time wavered in
that demand, and therefore feels, now that
all the State is joining in it, that the
hope of the past is about to be realized.

THE Board of Trade is to hold most
important meeting to-day, and it is essen
tial that there should be full attendance
of the membership. The questions to be
considered are all of vital Importance to
the people of this city, and one to the
people of the whole State. The meeting
is to hear report upon the condition of
the postoffice appropriation it is to pass
upon the resolution memoralizing Congress
to undertake systematic reclamation of
the Sacramento river; it is to resolve for
or against the erection of Board of Trade
building. Every one of these matters con-
Germs every business man in the city, as
well as every resident, whether in COM
merce or not. 1t is to be hoped that all
other engagements by members will be
laid aside this afternoon, and that every
one on the roll will be in attendance.
What is needed is calm deliberation, care
full weighing of facts, and firm and digni-
fed expression. These will be conserved
by large attendance and the thought of
many minds.

THE ravages OF the so-called influenza
in Europe are truly alarming. In ST.
Petersburg two-thirds of the whole popula-
ton have been afflicted with it, and
in Paris it is equally malignant. Wherever
it appears the same characteristics are APP
parent-typhoid form in fever, nasal pas
sages irritation, and much debility. The
after effects are said to be even worse
low spirits, great prostration, mental in
capacity, lung inflammation, and slow re-
coyery. The disease has already appeared
in the United States, and it is therefore not
improbable that it will reach California
our means of communication being so init
mate with the East. The people will
therefore very anxiously look to the medi-
cul faculty for some direction how to pre-
pare for and meet the assaults of the pest,
which appears to have well earned that
DESIGNATION by reason of its virulence and
its epidemic character
ih4 luSft hiuob lAuS bC away VIII
that any local authority has any control
over the nayigable rivers Of the State, or
any one else outside of the Government of
fcials acting under the law. When the
State was admitted to the Union, the ex-
press reservation was made that the navi-
gable streams should remain the property,
and under the control of the Federal Gov
ernment, the State having only the right
of exacting certain tolls or harbor dues,
and of granting franchises for bridges, the
adoption of regulations for the conserva-
ton of fisheries, etc. It is the duty, there
fore, of the Federal Government to care
for the river, and insistence should be
made that it keep its contract to do so.
/ The fear is that when the waters subside,
so too viii the enthusiasm with which the
people are now disposed to memorabilia
Congress on the subject.
IRON is now nearly as low in price in
the United States as in England-but they
told us that the protective policy would
have precisely the opposite result Cheap
ening the product and employing our own
workmen is not bad.

AHORRIBLE AFFRAY.
A CoIored Woman Burned to Death
 and Buried Without a Coffin.


 PUTNAM, Conn, Feb 26.-A horrible af- fair occurred on the edge of Eastford woods about eight miles from Putnam Saturday, where in small hut reside Wm. Lambert and his wife, an aged colored couple. They were seen going toward their home Saturday night with three full paiIs presumably con- taining cider. It was bitter cold night, and on arriving at their cabin a rousing fire was built, which shortly afterward commu- nieated with the walls of the hut and com pletely destroyed it. The Lambert woman's clothing took fire while endeavoring to save something from the hut, ,and she was dragged from the hut by her husband and deposited on a bed in the open air, where she died an hour later. Lambert crept into the cellar of the burned hut and remained there until Sunday noon, when he notified the authori- ties. For some unexplained reason the body of the woman was allowed by the authorities to remain exposed to the weather till Monday night, when it is stated the woman was bu- ried without coffin.
