REPRESENTATIVE CLARK, of Kenton
Hundred, will press to its passage in the
Legislature his bin for ballot reform meth
DDS. The two essential features are smaller
voting precincls and the secrecy ofthe bal
lot on what is known as the Australian
method. The essential idea of these bills
Is the printing Of all tickets by the State
and elaborate precautions for voting I'm
private. The tickets are all numbered
and attached to numbered stubs The
election officers are to be held to rioid oc-
c'an'abiiity for all tickets missing de-
-troyed or spoiled Each ticket contains
the names ofaIl tho candidates in 7the field
with blanks in which the indeDendept
voter may write other names if he wishes.
Voters are admitted singly to the enclos-
ure in which the election officers sit. Each
receives bis ticket and passes on to pri-
vate compartment where he marks cross
opposite the names of the candidates for
whom DE wishes to vote and. on his wov
OUT deposits the ticket in the urn or box
without having encountered any one but
thas" officers since he entered the en-
closure In case the elector is blind or
cannot read, an officer accompanies him to
'ne compartment to mark his ballot I'm
der no other circumstance can two persons
meet IN the same compartments So that
l1e purchaser ola vote must trust entirely
70 the honesty ofthe voter; he cannot see
the goods delivered. One of the obiec-
tons to the Australian Ballot law is its
sIo"hess, but it has been found that from
I27 20 2J persons could be voted in an
hour. This method has been in vague in
Australia since 1886 England since 1872.
and Belgium since 1877. The law has now
been adopted in Massachusetts,, Indiana

NOTHING is more likely to instill a

which, in a few days, will develop
into leaves; the honeysuckle, which
has been almost an evergreen this last
winter, frightened up, and the younger

brown remnants of last November.

THERE seems to be a disposition with
the new administration to put back in
Office the old-timeTs, particularly in
the postal service. The old timers
will like this, but the new ones, who
have never tasted the sweets of govern
mental snaps, think it is their turn
now, and that the 0. t.'s should be
sent to the rear while the Offices are

The Pine Tree State.

The assertion has frequently been
made that the title pine Tree State"
has become q misnomer for Maine,
and, although there are lots of pine
trees still standing in the northern
part of the state, there is some ground
for objection to the old time sobriquet.
The statistics of the amount of pine
lumber surveyed at the port of Bangor
yearly show that the cut of that kind
of timber on the Penobscot has fallen
off from 123, 600, 900 feet in 1853 to
30, 600, 900 in 1887. In the four years
from 1858 to 1857 there was a falling
OFT in the pine survey of AZ, 600, 600
feet, and in 1877, twenty years later,
pine had got down to Is, 900, 900 feet.
The total survey of pine at this port
from 1855 to 1887, inclusive, was
1, SIG, 900, 900 feet, or considerably less
than one-half of the spruce survey,
and about three times the cut of hem
lock, juniper, etc. Pine used to lead
all other kinds OF lumber, but now
spruce heads the list. In 1855 the pine
survey was 123, o00, 900 feet, the spruce
4 5000, 900 feet, but during the war
spruce took the lead, and these two
kinds of lumber gradually changed
places, until now the cut of spruce
averages 120, 600, 900 feet, or four times
the output of pine. Nearly all of our
large near by pine has been cut, and
most of the logs now driven down the
Penobscot are second growth. There
is plenty of big pine away TO the north,
but in the face of western and Cana
dian competition in the leading mar
kets it would hardly pay to cut it and
drive it long distances. Spruce is king
on the Penobscot, and all other Maine
rivers now, and this is really more of
a spruce tree state than anything else.
