 The secret ballot system, which IS now before the legislatures of eight or ten States for enactments, has two principal fsatures-it makes the ballet secret and it takes the centrol of the election tickets from the campaign committees and gives It to the States, making it unnecessary te assess can
 didatcs for printing tickets, etc. If laws were passed compelling candi- dates claiming election to make 1orn statement as to his campaign expenses before ho gets his certific2ts of elSctien, 1t would put check to bribery in politics, which IS now sl- most impossible ie do m the majority of the States, for there Is not sn cleo tion in most of ths States where & candidate IS net compelled to make great outlay of money to secure an election and thus it IS that the ballet IS corrupted. d.-Albuqusrque Citizen.

with him that the humiliation Of the
eastern limits OF our city west of the

not in large measure attributable to
the emban K inent and we adhere to the
statement from which he drew the in
ference that we intended to imply
that there were not sufficient water
ways or outlets through the embark

frequently had as heavy ralus as fell
here on the 10. /, with no better drain
age than we now possess aud our
suburbs were never before inundated
by rainwater as they were on the 18th

Dear Sir-One would infer from al,
art Gle in your issue of this date that
the overflow or inundatiOu of the

caused by the embAnk Inent Of the II.

not been sufficient waterways left so as
to allow the heavy volume OF water to
readily pass of which fell on the 18Th.
VIII you kindly permit ne ~ say
that the inuntlatiug Of that portion Of
your city acas not caused, as you state,
by the elnbankments Of the railroad
company, but by the great lack OF
drainage east of us. BY Investigating
you Will fnd that the overflow was
uniform on both sides of the embark
ment which the water lines now dis
tinctly show.
Hoping that you will give this mat.
ter your persoual investigation aud

TERRY NEVER UNARMED.
THE DEAD MANS THREATS IN
ALAMEDA JAIL RECALLED.

An Out and Out Boast That He Would
Kill Judge Sawyer if Necessary
Marshal Franks Tells What Instruc-
tions he Gave to Deputy Marshal
Nagle.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. Sept. 4-Among
the first witnesses examined in the babeas
corpus proceedings in tho case of Deputy
Marshal Nagle to-day was 7. T. Williams,
formerly city editor of the Eueninq Post.
he testified that he visited Judge Terry.
whlle the latter was confined in the
Alameda county Jail year ago,
ana that during a conversation Judge
Terry threatened TO pull Justice Fields
nose, or slap his face. The witness sug-
gested that Justice Field might use weapons
to defend himself, when Judge Terry init
mated that he would be pleased to have
Justice Field attempt to use weapon on
him.
ALWAYS CARRIED A WEAPON.
NJ NJ. Estee stated that he had known
Judge Terry for over thirty years and that
the fact that he carried weapon wa,
known to all his acquaintances.
I. ID. W1ggington testified that he visited
Judge Terry in jail, and Judge Terry said
he would kill Judge Sawyer if it became
necessary.
J. S. cosgrove, newspaper
reporter, stated that he called
upon Judge Terry at Fresno after
preston OF his intentions regarding
Justice Field. Judge Terry de-
clined to be interviewed and said
he had no intentions regarding
him. As the witness was leaving, Mrs.
Terry came to him and said it was unfortu-
nate that the country no longer recognized
the code, for if it did Justice Field would
have chance to try his skill at shooting.
ATTORNEY GENERAL MILLER's LETTER
A letter from Attorney General Miller to
Marshal Franks. directing the latter to
provide proper protection for Justice Field
and Judge Sawyer, was also submitted in
evidence.
Marshal Franks testified that upon the
arrival of Justice Field in San Francisco
on June II last he appointed David Nagle
and two other deputy marshals to protect
Justice Field from assaults. He gave
general instructions to these men
10 look out for Justice Field when
the latter left for Los Angeles
about Aug. z. He instructed Nagle to
accompany him, watch toe Terrys and pre-
vent them from doing Justice Field any
violence. He called Deputy Nagle's atten-
ton to the fact that Judge Terry was not
an ordinary man, and if he met Justice
Field it would probably be difficult to con-
trol him. He told Deputy Nagle that
in his opinion Judge Terry would assault
Justice Field, and if he did Deputy Nagle
would have to ac5 quickly. The witness
said that although Judge Terry might only
intend so insult Justice Field when he saw
him, he did not believe Judge Terry could
control his temper and would probably i'm
medistely draw his knife He warned Dep
uty Nagle to take no chances, but to pro-
tect Justice Field at all haz lrds. The case
was continued until tomorrow.
