The Australian Experiment.

The Australian voting system, in its full
length and breadth, was tried for the first
time in Massachusetts, Yesterday, and the
success which attended it apparently exceed
cd the expectations of its most sanguine
friends. Reports SO far received all point in
one direction. That the 81 stem worked like
charm seems to be the verdict from every
town and polling place heard from in the
State. The difficulties which its opponents
anticipated, or pretended to, did not mate-
rialize, the voting went Oh "-'S.i n'oie rapiuIy
than under the old s~-'em, ana the mistakes,
we venture te-say, were not nearly as many
as hapsoiied under the old system by reason
~ssplit tickets and tickets counterfeited TO
resemble the straight tickets of the two par
ties. The most striking result was the good
order about the polling places that the new
system produced. There was no soliciting.
no Jostling, no noise, no confusion. Instead
OF cutting down the total vote, as many pre-
dicted that it would, it seems rather TO have
increased it, many voters whom disgust with
the methods that have been in vogue at the
polling places had heretofore kept at home,
coming out and voting. The only dissatis-
he'd persons with the working of the new
system appear 10 be the ward heelers, who
find their occupation gone.
We commend the object lesson furnished
by Massachusetts yesterday to our esteemed
contemporaries. the Bangor Wing, the Bath
Times, the Bridgtcn News, and the Evening
Express, and respectfully ask them to point
out why system that has worked so salts
factorily in Massachusetts will not be good
for Maine

Quebec take very gloomy views of the situa-

1t is more than probable that such would be

The Toronto correspondent Of the Boston
Advertiser, who has been studying the SEN
timent Of the Canadian people as regards
commercial union with the United States,
reports that the majority of the people of the
Dominion are opposed to that idea. They
are ready, and anxious, for reciprocity in
natural products, but there their anxiety
ends. They are not prepared to admit
American manufactures free, but on the
other hand cling to the policy of protection
as regards them. The correspondent has no
doubt that il vote were taken today the
present administrations protective policy
would be sustained by large majority.

The Canadian government is considering
an increase of the duty on American flour.
When the present duty was established the
freight on flour from ST. Louis to Toronto
was sixty cents barrel, while now it is
thirty. This is in effect equal to a reduction
Of the duty by thirty cents barrel; and so
the Canadians are thinking of making the
duty enough higher to made up for this.
This illustrates the general effect the cheap
ening Of rates has had upon tariffs. 1t is a
frequent argument that our industries have
more protection now than they did in the old
days because tariff rates are higher But it
should be remembered that in the days of
the sailing vessels the cost OF transportation
was Of itself great protection, to which it
was only necessary to add small duty.
But today the big steamships, with their
quick passages and tremendous cargoes,
have minimized the protection of distance
thus necessitating an increase of the protec''
ton Of the tariff rate.

Ii Wadelai has fallen there will be little
reason. or indeed little opportunity, for Emip
Pasha to remain in the Equatorial Province.
When Khartoum fell and the Mahdists cut
off his province from Egypt, Emin retired
from Lado, the station Gordon had founded,
and retreating up the Nile to the South, es-
tablshed himself at Wadeai, a position
farther from the Mahdists and better suited
a key to the Province. If Wadelai has

Province is probably at an end, and nothing
Is left for EmIn but to depart with Stanley.

President Harrison is said to have COM
pleted the first draft of his message; and the
gossips foreshadow that it will recommend
the abolition of the tobacco tax, the passage
OF the Blair educational bill, liberal steam
ship subsidies, liberal amendments to the
pension laws, and generous appropriations
for the navy; but not the passage of fed
eral law applicable to the Southern States.
Some of these recommendations will proba-
bly, be made in the Presidents message.
They are naturally to be expected. But that
anyone knows definitely anything about the
the forthcoming document is not at all
probable. No public document is guarded
as we'll as the Presidents message.

self in marked degree. This is not
homeless cur, but a dog in easy cir
cumstances, and owned by kind and
indulgent master. Too indulgent, the
reader may be disposed to think, when
he is told that every morning at lunch
time the creature was presented with
penny, which it carried in its mouth
to the shop of a baker, and there pur-
chased a biscuit. 1t happened, how
ever, that the baker, meeting the
owner of the dog, mentioned to him
that he had not been for his biscuit
lately. This was unaccountable, and
the more so because the animals
master had remarked that during the
past week or so it had exhibited I'M
usual Impotence for lunch time, en-
deavoring by caressing and tail-wag-
ging to obtain the luncheon money be-
fore it was due. When it at last re-
ceived it it had never failed to run off
in hurry, and after awhile returned
without the coin, seemingly satisfied
with its Investment.
The next morning after the baker
had made his communication to the
gentleman, the latter, after giving his
dog the penny, was curious to watch
it. And 10 and behold! it never went
near the biscuit shop! Without an in
stant's delay it fastened to a tripe SELL
er's, and there bought and paid for a
neat and tempting skewering of
''paunch. But it was not for its own
eating. With cheerful alacrity it took
the meat in its mouth and made for an
empty house, and TO the cellar thereof,
and. being closely followed, the benev-
olent creature was discovered in the
act of delivering its precious penny
worth to a poor, miserable tyke, a
stranger to the neighborhood, and ap-
parently of the tramp species. Evil

road. and probably would have died in
