MIOHIGAN'S BALLOT LAW.

The ballot law which has been en-
acted in Michigan is in many respects
unlike any of those which have been
put upon the statute-books of nine
other states. 1t provides for exclusive
state ballots of uniform size and color
for general congressional, state and
county elections, no other ballots TO be
legal. Each political party is to adopt
IA vignette 10 distinguish its ballots from
those of other parties. Provision is
made tor secret ballot by means of
booths and railing at each voting
place. The inspectors are TO place q
rubber band around each ballot W hen
it is deposited so as to detect when the
votes are counted whether voter de-
posits mole than one ballot. There are
careful provisions about counting the
ballots so as to avoid any possibility of
manipulating them Severe fines and
punishment are provided in case any
one attempts to influence voters. These
provisions are somewhat like those of
the Milwaukee law which has worked
so well in practice. The candidates
names are hot grouped upon one ballot,
as they are in the laws OF the eight
other states which have adopted that
principle OF the Australian system, but
in other respects the law is in accor-
dance with the Australian idea. An
exclusive official ballot and absolute
secrecy in voting are most important
principles, for they do away with the
worst evils of our politics. The effect
of the Michigan law is likely to be the
same as that of the Milwaukee la~-to
create demand for its extension and
amplification into the complete Aus
traliam method.

MISSOURI RAILROADS.

JEFFERSON CRY, Mo-, July AFTER
hearing the. representatives of all the
railroads and suCh other persons as
were interested in the valuation and
assessment of railroad pre- Derty as well
as the representatives of bridge and
telegraph companies, the state board
of equalization has passed finally upon
the valuations The assessment shows
an increase Of nearly S4.500,0O0. The
total railroad, bridge and telegraph as
sessment for 1889 is sos ,657 ,279 19 and
the total in 1885 was sal ,27l 1852 3S.
There is II reGu-TIun on the bridge
assessment this year of S450,0OO, bv
reason of IA recent decision of the su-
preme court that the Kansas City
bridge was part of the superstructure
of the Hannibal and st. Joseph railroad
company, and had heretofore been
valued IS separate bridgr property and
assessed ut S50O,00 the court holding
that only the highway feature of the
bridge Is assCssablc by the state board.
The assessment does not include the
entire value of railroad property, as
m4chlnG shops, rnundhOuscs and arc
houses are assessed locally by coun-
" assessors and do not appear
upon the assessment herein reported.
1t will be interesting to the taxpayers
of Missouri to note the comparison of
the railroad assessments in this state
with those of Illinois, Iowa, Kansas,
and Nebraska. In this state last year
the average valuation per mile for tax
nbc purposes was S9,40O 20 cents per
mile; in Illinois, 81, $40 IL; in Kansas,
So 800 25; in Nebraska, S5,S2S 81; in
Iowa, So 1913. Missouri will be slight |
ly higher i'll her average this year.

THE VIEWS OF A BONAPARTE.

Mr.. Charles Joseph Bonsparte re-
viewed the course of the Harrison ad-
ministration from the civil-service re-
formers point of view in an address
before the Baltimore Association. 1t is
hard, he confessed, for reformers not
to lose heart, and he pointed out the
discouraging contrast between the
chief official figures at the recent cen.
tennial celebration and the men who a
hundred years before accompanied or
greeted Washington. "Yet if we look
back not quite SO far" he said, "but to
the generations space during which
the nation has been SLOWLY learning 10
apply the only true remedy for the evils
which have grown up while it slept,
we shall find good cause for hope.
Twenty years ago we were just enter
ing on the dreary scandals of Grants
two terms, the whisky ring and the
salary grab, and the credit mobilier,
and BabcOck and Belknap, and Boss
Shepherd and the southern CARPET
baggers; ten years ago the Hayes ad-
ministration was struggling for party
supremacy with Mr.. Roscoe Conkling
aud his following, of whom Boss
Piatt is characteristic and almost
solitary survival; five years ago the
republican party was hypnotizing its
reason and conscience into the NOM
ination OF Blaiue." While there is
much to sadden and humiliate in this
record, he characterized it as a record
of progress, which shows that we are
gradually deserving good govern
ment, and, by deserving, are getting it.
"When we really appreciate and merit
once more such president as Wash
ington," he concluded, 81 believe that
we shall have one. We can do, OF
should be able to do even better than
our fathers. -

NEW RAILROAD COMMISSIONER.

Washington, July 15.-Hoface A.
Taylor, of Wisconsin, who succeeds
the confederate Gen. Joseph f.
Johnston as federal commissioner of
railways, is the editor of newspaper
al Budson, Wis, and was earnestly re-
commended for the position by Sena-
tors Sawyer and SpOoIer, who appear
to have good deal OF influence with
the administration.
The Office of commissioner of rail
roads. when it was first created, was
expected to be one of the most impor-
tant in the government service. Ii was
a forerunDer of the Interstate COM
merce commission, and had its origin
in the same movement in congress
which has succeeded in placing impor-
tant restrictions upon the railroads.
But this office has not realized the ex-
pectations of those who originated il.
In the early years of its administration,
1t was tainted with j0bbery, and one
OF lis officials was shown to hold close
relations to one of the corporations
he was appointed to watch. General
Johnston has conducted the office Oh a
high plane, but he has not been able to
bring sufficient energy to It's admins
ira.ion OF the Office, which could hard
ly be expected in man past seventy
years of age. The new commissioner

said TO day that he believed an extra
session had practically been determined
upon. The president himself was quite

Washburn, of Minnesota. The differ
ence was that the president suggested
TO Mr.. Washburn that il would be ex-
pedient tor him to return from Europe
by the middle of October. 1t Is cer-
taiu, however, that the congress will
not be convened until after representa-
lives from the new states shall have

senators who have eonversed with the

TIE GAAR REUNION.
rue Glorious FOurSo at Lnrkin
Gaar's Grove.

From the Richmond Ind, Palladium
Upon the invitation of Abram Gaal
aud other members OF the Gaar family IL
tAis locality, there was quite gather
ing of the descendants of this great fam
iiv. There WAS no regular programme
bnt it was day OF greeting and ac'
uuaintance. Then there was dinner
spread in the grove to which nearly l5O
sat down. This was feast, and no
king could find better, for every
piece was prize specimen OF culinary
art.
No attempt was made at dress, but
every one went with a warm heart and
IA friendly hand that made every one
there feel at home. A notable feature
was the signing Of The register, and
Uncle LHrkim Gaar, who was born De
cGmher 4th, 1900, wrote his name in a
plain, firm hard, and without the use
OF glasses, and this signature will com
pare favorable with that of business
men in the prime of life. The next to
sign was his sister, Martha Turner,
(iamiliarIy called Aunt Patsy.) born in
1910, and she was followed by another
sister, eliza Henderson, of Des Moines,
Iowa.
(llere followed the names of l07
others.)
This report would be incomplete
without notice of the tender meeting
of Mrs Eliza Henderson and her aged
brother and sister, Larkin Gaar and
Martha Turner, who had not seen her
tor more than twenty-five years. They
could not recognize each other, and
when Introduced there were tears OF
joy in all the eyes around.
Through the Kindness OF John G
Gaar we were shown the genealogy
now being compiled by him.
He sends greeting to all the descend
ants of John Gaar, of Frankenhofen,
Bavaria, ana especially those of his
son, Andreas Gaar, who came to
America in the year 1882.
The two original German letters of
recommendation given 10 Andreas
Gaar were shown, and translation
shows one of these letters to be the
testimony of the pastor of the church
at lllenschwang that the said An
dreas Gaar was a much loved member
of the church, and the other letter is
signed by the Burgomaster, aud sealed
by the order of the council OF 'he city
of Dunkhoibuhl.
The crest of arms is very fine one
and brief description is not amiss, as
it sh-ws the high standing of the an
cestC - of our very worthy citizens.
Heraldic description of the Gaar's
family crest: The Gaars coming from
Franconia are all old and vecY good
family, and carry In the blue field OF
the crest two black lilies, which prove
the eminence of the family. In the
red field two half black eagles, which
symbolic the age of the family tree.
An open knight helmet on which
crown is posted, and on the top two
eagle wings symbolic the ascent of
the family. The helmet cover is red
and silver. This crest they have re-
ceived as n reward tor their service
from Emperor Charles the Fifth in the
year 1919.
A painting of the above crest was
taken from the Paub princely crest
book and given Mr.. John Calhoun
Carr by Leonard Gaar, Burgomaster
OF Sinnbronn, by Dunkelsbnehl-Theo
dore Van Asten, painter. There are
now in the hands of this John &. Carr
the records and pedigrees of 1904
members of this noted family.

A FARMERS EXPERIENCE.

Kingston, H., July 10-I will write
you how protection works here. The
farmers are by no means as prosperous
AS they formerly were; or, at any rate,
fewer of them are prosperous than
formerly. Many farmers have been COM
Lelled to mortgage their farms, many
| are deeply in debt, and have morigaced
heir growing crops; and some have
abandoned farming aud are seeking
other pursuits. This state of things
has existed only during the past twen-
ty or twenty-five years. The main
cause is excessive taxation, which in a
| measure shuts out the commerce of the
| world. and thus greatly increases The
cost of everything that we have to buy,
| whether il is imported or of home pro.
ducIiOn. Another ctuse is the Inferior
quality OF the articles. which are not
worth more than half as much as the
same articles were worth previous TO
he tariff of 1861. This is the natural re-
-ult of shutting out foreign competition
by taxing imports. On the other hand,
we cannot obtain corresponding prices
FOR Onr farm products, nor can they
well be adulturated.
While the present tariff has the effect
vastly to increase the cost of nearly
verything that the farmer has TO buy
% wear and To use on the farm or IN
the house, we have no such protection
pn our products as will enable us TO
charge double prices for inferior arti-
GlcS. The manufacturers give us "rCt
ten" cr"ckerv, loaded tin-warc. glncOse
sugar, and shoddy cloths, and put the
profits of both the swindle and the
tariff into their pockets, thus dctraud.
ing the government ont of the duty on
