The Legislature should not adjourn
without passing the Australian ballot
law, or law that provides for secret
voting which Is the effective point in the
Australian law. Any amendment to that
law which permits the voter to prove
that he has voted one ticket by showing
the politician another ticket, wouid de-
feat that absolute secrecy by which it is
designed to prevent corruption ut the
polls. The Australian law, il we uudes-
stand II, makes 1t impossible tor the
politician to know how voter votes
Tho only evidence it allows him is the
unsupported word OF the voter himself.
The secrecy is so absolute that there s
nothing by which o voter can con-
clusively prove to the politician
that he has voted the way
he was desired to vote and paid to vote.
There being no certainty that the goods,
for which this politician is asked to nav
will be delivered; no device by which It
can be shown that they have been de-
livered, the law presumes that that indi-
vidual IS too sensible person to risk the
purchase. Wherever the law has besD
tried that presumption has been proved
to be we'll founded, and vote buying has
practically disappeared. Now the Della
ware Legislature cannot afford to defeat
such well-meaning and practical meas.

NEW YoRK, April 20.--Postmaster
Henry G. Pearson died OF 4.2O O'CLOCK,
this morning.
MR.. PRARsoH's RECORD.
Henry g. Pearson had been connected
with the New York post office from MS
early yonth. He entered the service as a
clerk, and rose by steady promotion,
after years Of faithful service, to the po-
sition of assistant postmaster, which he
held during the incumbency OF Post
master Thomas L. James. When the
latter was appointed Postmaster general
bv President Garfield, on March 4th,
1881, Mr.. Pearson was appointed to suo-
cesd him as postmaster OF New York.
His administration of the affairs
of the office was such model
one, and so free from partisan manipula'
ton or the prostitution OF the puelio aer-
vice for party ends, that President oleve-
land reappointed him at the end Of his
first term During his second term he
performed his duties with the same faith
full attention to the public interests, and
with an earnest persistency that under
mined his health and made him an easy
prey to the sickness that finally carried
him of. At the expiration of his second
term President Harrison, in total disre-
gard Of Mr.. Pearson's splendid offieial
record, set him aside by appointing Cor
nAlius Van Colt, n Republican machine
politician of the most approved and pro-
nounced type.
Mr. Peason had Known for weeks that
he was fighting against a diseRse that
must overcome hin, yet he persisted in
attending to his duties, preferring to die
rather than give up his work in the face
of slanderous assailants. 1t is the opinion
of his physician, Dr. Curry, that he had
been murdered by his slanderers, who
have kept his mental powers overet.ained
as they necessarily had to be TO keep him
mp while disease was destroy ing his phys
iosl system.
The bemorrhages which have caused
the sudden failure OF Alr. Pearson's
strength resulted from the bursting OF q
cancer. He had one on Thnrsdsy after
noon and six between nightfall and yes
terday morning
His last words before he became uncon-
scious on Thursday night were: II have
spent my life fizhting the spoils system,
aud ii gricVes me to know that those for
whom have fought have misunderstood
me-"
HIS LAST HOURS.
New YoRK, April 2c.-Ex Postmaster

TEErorALERs will be surprised to learn
that a commission appointed by the Brit
ish Medical association has just made a re-
port that seems to show total abstinence
unhealthy. The commission was instructed
to examine into the average age of total
abstainers, moderate drinkers and sots, but
they divided the people considered into
classes. The inquiry was based on forty
two hundred and thirty four deaths. The
average age reached by total abs,ainers was
fihy-one years, twenty-five days; by the
temperate drinkers siNiy-three years, thir-
teen days; by the careless and imprudent
drinkers, fity-nine years, sixty seven
days; by the free and habitual drinkers
hffy-seven years, ifty-nine days, and by
the very Incorporate drinkers or sots, fifty
three years and three days. From this it
would appear that the temperate drinkers
are the longest lived and the total abstain er
the shortest lived, even the sots eXcelliug
tho average life of the teetotaler by some
two years. II would be interesting 10 see
this inquiry extended so as to show the
value of the figures, for it might happen
that another odd four thousand would give
very different results Glass two described
as, "habitual temperate drnkers,-those
who consume moderate amount of alco-
holic liquors." might be expected to stand
at the head of the five classes when rank ed
by length of life, but just what the com
mission considers "a moderate amount of
liquor is not explained.

an early and satisfactory settle

as to become the amiable servant Of

yet to be discovered about the quality
and habits of electricity before it can be
safely harnessed for our use. We have
lately had prolonged disputation as TO
whether manufactured electricity would
kill, the object being to determine
whether the electrical execution of
criminals in New York Is prac-
ticable. The courts appear to
have just made up their minds that
the law providing such execution shall
be tried, when we have numerous dis

CritlciSing the Vesuyius,

In number of interviews with naval
officers the New York Herald finds CON
siderable doubt as to the effectiveness of
the new dynamite cruiser in sea fight,
but dismisses these unfavorable opinions
with the statement that the navy is slow
to adopt novelties, and that even Ad-
miral Farragut gave his ironclads no
part In action, surrounding the armored
Tennessee with wooden ships, while
three ironclads were idle on-lookers.
Ihis Is not fair statement. The TENN
essee surrounded herself by steaming
right into the middle of the Union fleet,
and the admiral attacked her by ram
ming with his wooden steam frigates
because they Were the heaviest and best
suited for such work. The monitors
were SO unwieldly and low in the water
that If used as rams they would probably
have gone TO the bottom. They used
their guns when they could do so with
out danger to the rest of the fleet, but
under the circumstances the safest and
best course was that successfully adopted
BY Farragut-rapid and furious butting
BY the powerful wooden steamers.
As for the naval criticism of the yesu-
vius 1t Is not directed against dynamite
guns In general but simply calls atten-
tion TO the limits to the power of the
vesuvius, for which there is DISPOSE
tion to make extravagant claims. The
tnaccdracy and short range of her guns
ase laughed down as objections on the
ground that she does not need TO hit an
enemy but only to drop shell some-
where near him, aud that she is swift
enough TO get 10 close quarters rapidly.
Naval officers may be pardoned some
uneasiness as to what may happen while
the Vesuvius is getting to her fighting
ssnge. and as the guns have to he aimed
~ turning the whole ship,in which they
~ Figidiy fixed, they may even feel un-
certain Of their ability to drop a dyna-
mite shell anywhere near an enemy who
