OUR CITY CIRCULATION.

Hereafter Mir c. Collard Adams will have charge of the city circulation of the EVENING DEMOCRAT. He will see that the papers are delived to subscribers and is authorized to omake all collections for the same. Subscribers on whom MT Adams may call are requested to be prompt in their payment, and all others he may wait upon are most cordially invited to place their names on the sub- scription list. We are fully convinced that Mir Adams past experience will enable him to give satisfaction in the distribution of the DEMOCRAT, and it is with great pleasure we commend him to the good will of all our friends and others who are favorable to the success of a journal pledged to the sound prin- ciples of democracy. MT Adams will enter upon his new field immediately.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-05-23
A SECRET BALLOT.

The one thing to be regretted in re- gard to the secret ballot legislation in the house yesterday was the refusal of the republican majority to permit amendments that would remedy certain evident defects in the measure It look ed very much like an intention to rob the democrats of any opportunity to long standing need in the state. It is to be hoped that the senate will be less sel- fish in the premises and that it will be disposed to allow of remedial action in those respects which good judgment and careful consideration of the public interest suggest.
 Meanwhile the democrats of Connecti- cut can congratulate themselves that the state is in a fair way to have a secret ballot. The democratic party, owing to the nature of its mem- bership, has been the greatest sufferer from theevils of the present system, and anything that will serve to safeguard it against them is to be heartily welcomed. We fear, however, that the summary action of the republicans in rushing the measure through without consideration of its possible weaknesses and oppor- tunity for their correction will have an effect not wholly agreeable to those who are conscientiously desirous of having a real secret ballot. Indeed, there seems to be probability that the measure as passed will not certainly secure all the good effects intended by and expected of a secret ballot. Should events prove this to be the case, we hope the republicans of succeeding legislature will be willing to adopt a measure that will accomplish all that the most ardent friend of secret voting could desire.
 In the meantime good citizens should be grateful for so much of a secret bal lot as has been vouchsafed by the re- publican house.

The E,.erm,na,,on of tn. Buffalo.

At the present time, outside of the Ma tional park, where about POO buffaloes are now harbored, there arc not over 3O0, ], probably not as many left in the whole United States. The survivors of this magnificent race of animals are scattered in little punches in several localities. There arc about 100 in Montana, or at feast there wore q year ago, some at the head of Dry creek, and the remainder at the head of Porcupine creek. In Wyom- ing there are 6 few stragglers from the National park, which, when chased, run
 back there for protection. In the noun tains of sColorado last summer there were two punches of mountain bison, one of twenty-five head and the other of eleven. These have probably been killed. There arc none in Dakota, though eighteen months ago thirty were known to be there. It was estimated in 1887 that there were twenty-seven in Nebraska, and about fifty more scattered in the western part of the Indian terri tory and Kansas. Those in Nebraska have since been killed by the Sioux. Of the thousands that once inhabited Texas only two small punches remain. Thirty two head are near the Ratons, In the northwestern p9rt of the Panhandle, and eight in the sand-hills on the Staked plains north of the Peoos iiver.-Satter- thwaite, in Harp-r's Magazine for May.
