SUCCESS O, Ballot Reform.

The Australina ballot system is in fore
in Connecticut, and it was tried in that
state for the fir { time at the prohibition
election few Gays ago. Il is also in force
in Aonta "a, and the recent election in that
territory was held under IT, In both c m
necticut and Noasans great deal is said
in raise Of it. Il was thought tsat veting
under it would be very slow, but such was
not the case. There was plenty of time to
cast all the ballots that we're offered.
1t is probable that this system of ballot
ing, or an improvement upon it, viii he
adopted eventually By all tae other states.
Under 1t extensive bribery and intimila-
ton are almost impossible. The ter
enters booth where, being entirely alone,
ne prepares his ballot NJ one except the
one deposi;ing his ballot can approach
within thirty feet of the POLLS. The voter.
therefore. is able TO deposit a secret ballot.
There will not be many votes bought when
those who do the b1yiag cannot be sure that
those who sell their votes comply with their
agree ments
IL is thought that the reform ballot sys-
tenn will not be very popular with employ
ers in manufacturing csaters, bee lu,e it
will prevent them from controlling the
votes Of their employees 1t is known that
In many northern manufacturing towns the
employers prepare the ballots for their en-
ployes. The penalty for voting contrary to
the wishes Of employers is dismissal from
employment. The employees go to the polls
in gangs, under the leadership OF boss or
foreman, who sees that the ballots supplied
to them are put into the ballot box.
The reform ballot system viii prevent
that kind Of in iinidatiol, and will enabls
employees TO vote as they please 1t will
also break up the blocks of five" plan of
carrying elections, AMI for that reason it Is
probable that Senator Quay and Col. Dud-

The City Needs a Few Trees

The council might do something in the
way OF tree planting with great benefit to
the city as soon as the proper season arrives.
The are streets on which few trees are
greatly needed, and among them are streets
which are nsted for their shade trees.
There are great spaces, entirely free
OF trees on the sides Of these streets, and
consequently they present, in some
parts, rather ragged appearance. On
South Broad street, and also on Bull street.,
there are places where there ought TO De
trees planted. Everybody acquainted win
these streets knows where these places are.
Ii the property holders refuse to plant
trees the city ought to do it aud assess the
cost against the property, if that is per
mlssiole, and if it isn't, the city ought to
plant the trees az its own expense.
Care ought to be taken to get trees that
are MT only suitable to the soil and climate
of this locality. but also that grow rapidly
and are ornamental. There are tn Sc in
the city who are well informed with re-
spect to trees suitable for this locality, and
they would assist the council gladl V. doubt
less, in selecting trees.
1ueIe are squares IN which more trees
are needed, aud in many parts of the city
there are trees that should be replaced by
others. Dying trees cannot be removed
100 soon. They are dangerous in times of
storms, and, besides, it is important to get
young and healthy trees planted as soon as
possible.
The fire of April injured quite a num-
Der of fine trees. The most of them will
die, if they are not already dead. Those
of them which show signs of life are SO
marred that they are unsightly. These
trees ought to be replaced by others this
season. 1t will be a mistake to wait for
the buildings to be replaced, because the
lots in some instances may remain vacant
for sever ii years.
Let us have a revival in tree planting.
The chief charm of Savannah is her trees.
She is beginning to lose her charm, and
will lose it altogether if her people ana
officials do not show more interest in tree
planting.
