The Ballot Bill.

The objections urged against the ballot re-
form law relate chiefly to its machinery. 1t
is Zoo complicated, say some, for the average
voter to understand, and will lead to innu-
merable mistakes; it will impose upon the
State an unnecessary expense, say Others
To the first objection 1t may be answered
that this plan is not a mere experiment. 1t
has been in operation many years in Aus
tralia, where the people are not more intelli-
gent than In America, and has won general
commentator. 1t has been tried in several
Western cities here, and found to work ex-
ceedingly well. To the secord objection it
may be replied that the only permanent ex-
pense 1t will entail upon the State will be
for the printing of ballots. Ballots are
necessary part of the electoral machinery,
and they ought to be paid for by the State.
IL is entirely unfair and unjust to make can
didates or party committees pay for them,
for it imposes upon a few burden that fair
ly belongs to the whole. Another reason
why the ballots should be furnished by the
State is that thereby most OF the fraud and
deception that Is now practiced by means of
split tickets would be prevented. The above
are the objections most commonly heard,
but occasionally others crop out, which 90
more to the gist Of the measure. The Even
Ing Express, for instance. fears lest the Sc
cret ballot may nnfavorably affect the honest
and self-respectiDg citizen by reducing his
opportunities to publicly make known his
political convictions. Inasmuch, however
as the honest and self respecting citizen will
have abundance of opportunities left to pro-
claim the faith that is in him we are
inclined to think he will be willing
to sacrifice this one in order that
citizens whose relations to other men have
made them somewhat dependent may he
protected against the danger of intimidation.
To be sure intimidation is little practiced in
this State as compared with some of the other
States, but instances are not wanting, and it
is not good plan to wait until vice has at
tanned wide prevalence and strongly entrench-
ed itself before taking measures to arrest its
growth. Again it is urged by the Bangor
Wing that there is no call for this reform.
There is always call for the remedying OF
evils, and we do not understand the Wing to
deny that there are evils connected with our
present electoral system.

men. unless under the influence Of drink,
then some of them are dangerous in the ex-
treme for it is lighting whisky" that they
generally drink when on tear" and the
invariabIe result of a visit to town IS a series
of fracases among themselves. OF course,
one sees some very desperate characters
men who would not hesitate at any crime,
but misdoings may be traced TO- liquor. r.
was short thiek-set man OF about thlrty-
five, with red face and very red hair; ne
was q nervous exeitable fellow, whose quick,
restless eye seemed always on the lookout
for an imaginary pursuer. 1t was said that
he had been obliged to fly from Georgia on
account OF killing scrape In which he had
been implicated, and he bore very pad
name among his companions as being q
reckless desperate fellow. Such, however,
we did not find him, for during our stay OF
week this hitherto total stranger entertained
us to the very best of his power, dropping
work to guide us to the best shooting
grounds, padding our canoes. and refusing
upon our departure to accept of any renum-
GRAFTON for his services.
Illustrative of the character of these men,
their immunity from the consequences ot
hardships and exposure, and their semi-alll-
gator nature. / will relate a circumstance
that occurred during our stay. One morning
as +. and were padding up the river 10 !.
beteau, my hunting knife slipped out OF It's
sheath and fell overheard. | made some re-
mark OF regret at the loss, when TO my sur
prise down went my companion after II,
without even waiting to take off his shoes
and scarcely his hat. The water was lott;
deep and very cold, but after diving several
times my lost blade was finally brought up.
Notwithstanding the fact that he was soak
ing wet and exposed to chilling wind, +.
would not hear of going back to camp but
kept on with the hunt for several hours,
during which time he was obliged to sit
cramped in the canoe; yet he suffered no
bad effects from his wetting and laughed
when we spoke of catching cold.
A few months after our visit this same
man who gave up his house to us and did
everything in his power for our pleasure,
killed in pure wickedness four defenseless
negroes. 1t seems that he had been to town
and was returning home in his bateau with a
new Winchester rifle that he had just pur-
chased. On nearing camp he saw six negroes
sitting on the bank, and to use his own
words, "wishing to see ii the gun was any
account" he popped away at the poor devils,
who tried to make their escape as best they
could. but left four of their member dead on
the ground. He afterward told steamboat
man Of my acquaintance that the gun was good
enough, for he KILLED four out of six, and 1t
was not good day for killing niggers either"
Efforts were made to bring him to justice for
this outrage, but he shouldered the gun that
had done such murderous work and took to
the swamps. where no one could or would
follow. and since then it is reported that be
has left the country.

The North River Refining Company was a
corporation chartered under the laws of New
York for the business of sugar refining.
When the sugar trust was formed this CON-
pany became a member of it, Sometime ago
the Attorney General of New York brought
against it an action In the nature of quo acdy-
rdntO, alleging that it had violated its char
ter, and consequently had forfeited it. De-
cision in favor of the people has now been
rendered. and unless the full bench reyerses
1t, the North River Sugar Refining Company
will find itself deprived of its charter.
The opinion was written by Judge Barrett,
and is long and exhaustive examination of
the legal status of the sugar trust. The de-
PENDANTS had contended that the joining OF
the trust by the North River Company was
not corporate act, but the individual acts
of the stockholders. But Judge Barrett
holds that essentially it was a corporate act,
that the veil by which it was sought to dis
guise it, always thin, was completely swept
away by the acts done. leaving sthe corpor-
ate body unclouded and in full VIEW
Though Of course the Judges opinion is
based entirely on legal grounds, it is easy to
gather from his opinion his views of the
trust from other standpoints, and it is plair
to be seen that 1t is not favorable one He
calls the company's act IAN abuse. which If
allowed TO thrive and become general, must
inevitably lead to the oppression of the poor
and ultimately to the subyersion of theil
political rights"
The effect of Judge Barrett's decision on
this and other trusts-for all Of them are
constructed in essentially the same way
cannot be accurately measured at this time
The case will probably be reviewed by the
full bench. and its reversal is possible,
though not probable. Then his decision i:
based upon the laws of New York relative
to corporations. Other States may not have
similar laws. That it is serious blow tt
the trust cannot, however. be doubted.

The Biddeford Standard Democratic
urges all the Democratic members of the
Legislature to vote in favor of the Austria
liam ballot bill, because 1t offers some safe
guards against the frauds of our political
opponents" If there were enough Demo
Gratis in the House to render it at all prob
able that their votes would have any decis-
i've effect, we fear the Standard would not be
found giving this advice. for the Standard is
published in a city where VIGOROUSLY the
Democrats have resorted to the most shame
less corruption and bribery to retain their
grip upon the municipal government About
the worst thing that could happen to the
Democratic ring Of Biddetord would be
system Of voting that would render bribery
and intimidation impossible. Their occupa-
tion in Biddeford would be gone. "The frauds
of our political opponents" says the Stan
dard. Think of the impudence of this from
the organ Of party that cooked up one Of
the most outrageous frauds on the ballot
ever witnessed in this country; that re-
sorted to forgery to reverse the will of the
people as expressed at the polls.

A Desperate Host.

The lumbermen Of the Apalachee swamps
have a bad reputation. Many of them are
refugees from the justice of other States,
who have sought safety in these morasses.
Here they are indeed secure, for once let a
man that knows anything of woodcraft get
into such labyrinth of swamps and forest,
ana nothing can dlslodge him; regiment Of
soldiers and battery Of artillery would be ST.
lent In the unknown ways of those vast wilds
And SO 1t is that these woods are full of out
laws, or rather men that have been outlaws; ;

being about all they see of civilization.
They are, as rule, hospitable and peaceful

Further inquiry of the members of the
legislature shows that there is some differ
ence Of opinion as to where the capitol
should be. there is scarcely any as to where it
should not be. The legislators are almost
unanimous that it should be removed from
Augusta, and after complimentary vote
for the towns Of their residence the ma jority
would select Portland as the most suitable
place. If the State gets the 100000 from
the general government under the direct tax
bill Portland can probably become the
capital city, if her citizens will only make an
earnest effort to that end.
