Next Friday the Butte public schools
close for the summer vacation. The
term has been q very successful one,
showing that the district has a very eff
cient Superintendent and corps Of teach
ers. 1t is understood that, at the begin
ming Of the term, next fall, an almost
complete change of school books will be
required. If true, this Is wrong, unless
the state foots the bill. The common
wealth has no right to be. constantly
subjecting parents-many Of them too
poor to stand the expense and too sensi-
tive to plead indigencs-to the outlay
consequent upon these frequent school

Improved Methods of Voting,

From the st. Louis "Globe. Democrat:
Everywhere the legislatures as well as econ
omists are struggling with the question of
"ballot REFORM" The Australian system is
assumed ne the ideal basis. The object of
this system is secrecy and freedom from in.
timidation, and as q consequence purity.
It originated in South Australia in 1857;
was introduced into Great Britain in 1872,
and has slowly won the approval Of re-
formers everywhere, Louisville. KY, first
adopted it in America in 1888. although
some parts OF the scheme were previously
introduced elsewhere, as Wisconsin.
Massachusetts, has q law already passed,
to take effect In November, 1889. Indiana
and Rhode Island have fallen into line
very recently, and other states are in the
throes Of discussion or have just passed
bills favorable. The new scheme breaks up
the ~"machine"; and that is enough to say
for it.

Bishop Huntington on Money Worship.
From the St. Louis "Globe- Democrat
Bishop Huntington, speaking OF the mod
ern Church, makes great complaint OF the
evil influence oil commercial and political
forces. The Church under such influences,
he declares. is growing proud, sensuous,
luxurious and selfish. Commercial forces
are pushing their way into the Church and
spirituality is oozing out. The shrewd
business men get the positions OF vestrymen
and trustees. So also the rich occupy the
system that puts cash before piety, and
business tact above godliness, he holds to
be sin. So. after all, it is not agnosticism
and science that are doing the mischief, but
pride and luxurious worship OF the dollar.
The Bishop speaks the truth.

tons Against New York Officers.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-The civil service
con- mission having concluded in part their
investigation into the recent management
Of the New York custom house, 80 far as
the behavior OF the local examining board
and the question Of the proper observance
of the civil service law as regards entrance
examinations are concerned, find that the
recent management OF the examination for
admission has been characterized by great
laxity and negligence on the part Of some OF
the custom-house employees by positive
fraud. .... -....
The clerk of the board himself testified
that certain OF the examinations were
farcical in character, and it has been clearly
shown that at least in one case the appli.
cant for admission had his papers written
for him by another person, that the appli-
cants sometimes found out the questions
in advance, owing to the loose way OF con-
Quoting the examinations. and have some
times been given examination papers before.

The report adds that there is evidence
that persons without political influence
who passed examinations, had little chance
of securing positions. ..
