The cause of ballot reform, which
has won such sweeping victories in
England, in Australia and in so
many American States, has reached
Germany and found advocates there.
The question of a perfectly free in
dependent uninfuenced ballot is evil
IDENTIFY one of difficulty wherever
constitutional government exists at
all. Not merely is the question the
same in Germany as in America, but
there, too, the friends of reform find
that there is only one remedy for ex-
istent evils, and that is secret voting.
1t appears that the German imperial
constitution does provide, in a way,
FOR a secret ballot, but it does SO in
a way entirely insufficient to attain
Ghe object in view. The same tricks
and evasions which have become SO
familiar to every one in Ameri-
can politics are resorted to
n Germany. The law does not
provide for the preparation of the
ballots in a private compartment
esp ecially established for the pur-
pose, nor for printing of ballots by
the government. The result is that
the usual stock tricks are success
fully resorted to, such as printing
ballots which in size and color are
easily distinguishable from those Of
opposing parties; following voters
Up to within a short distance from
ihe polls, etc., etc. In some cases il
IS said, voters have been provided
with ballots which they have beer
required to hold up above the heac
with the right hand until the ballot
oox was reached, so that the substi
tuition of any other ticket unobservec
vas of course an impossibility. The
condition of parties in the German
parliament is at present unfortunate
y such that there is little hope tha
any reformatory legislation will bt
passed. The facts mentioned, how
sver, demonstrate that such legisla
lion is necessary in Germany a:
veil as everywhere else if purity anC
honesty of elections is to be attained
It is to be hoped that our own elect
on law may ultimately be improved
upon by the addition of this fnal
provision SO that the independence
Of our own election, around which
he new law has already established
20 many safeguards, may be placed
beyond the influence of fear or favor

there was one Of them in Chicago the other
day who had evidently taken an overdose, ss
be exhibited a nerve that WAS beauty.
Along about 10 a m he entered q Dearborn
street cigar store and purchased nickel

asked the proprietor's permission to leave IL
behind the counter until he wanted 1t. IL
put back under the shelf with pleasure. Some
thing like an hour later tho travelling man
came in with two gentlemen viii you

him Opening it, he spread lot Of samples
over the show case. took out his order book
and began TO talk business with the two gem
tlemen accompanying him
After he had taken their orders he replaced
his samples and asked the cigar man to kindly
set the grip aside for him Then he bought
three more cent cigars About noon he
brought in three more men and apologetic-
ally called for his grip. He displayed his
samples again, took his orders, and once more
treated to the nickel movements" During
the day this operation was repeated several
times, and finally the cigar dealer dropped to
the fact that the drummer was merely using
his place as a sample room in order TO save

covered that he was bsing played he called
the travelling man aside and quietly but
firmly informed him that he wouldn't have
