The General Assembly Of the
Democratic Societies OF Penn
sylvania convened last week.
Eight hundred Delegates were
present. .Ex-Pfesident Cieve-
land was unable to accept an
invitation to be present. The
following is p ragrapb of his
letter to The Assembly, winch
created much enthusiasm when
read:
"My appreciation of the value of
these De mOcratic societies, as agents
for the instruction Of the people on
political topics and for the accom-.
plisbn,ent Of legitimate political
work is we'll known, and there was
a time wheE in the interest of good
government and national prosperity
they were more needed"
Cleveland is certainly happy
in expressing a volume OF mean
ing i'm a minimum of words. The
existence and prosperity of
these societies mean that Penn
sylvania will, some day not far
distant, go Democratic.

The Australian Ballot System.

The Australian ballot system
has been frequently mentioned
of late. and as matter Of in
formation, we give the follow
ing description of it which we
condense from a very interest
ing article On that subject in
the Septeln Der Forum:
The polling places, or booths,
are provided with an open place
for the election officials and al
SO screen. These officials con-
sist of the returning officer and
his clerk and each party is al
lowed scrutineer, the scruti-
neer being a nOn-voter. No
other persons are allowed in
the polling booths. The re-
turning officer has in his pos
session the electoral roll on
which are registered the names
and descriptions of all qualified
electors, arranged and mum bered
from No. l upward in the al
phabetical crde,.. He also has
corresponding number of bal
lots containing the names of all
the candidates without refer
ence to party. At the hour ap-
pointed, the polls are opened
and one by one the electors
walk in. When a man offers to
vote, the returning officer ex-
amines his roll to see that the
elector is qualified, and if so,
then the clerk checks off his
name, writes the corresponding
number on the ballot and passes
it to the electnr. The elector
then goes behind the SCREEN and
with a blue pencil marks out
the names Of all candidates for
whom he does not wish to vute,
leaving the names OF his favor
ite candidates as they are. He
then deposits his ballot in the
box and goes about his bust
hess.
After the day is done, the
polls are closed and the ballots
are counted by the returning
officer and his clerk in the pres.
ence of the scrutineers. All i'm
proper ballots are thrown ont
and the legal ballots are sealed
up and posted to the clerk of
parliament.
The system seems to ba an
admirable one wi h this excep-
ton. When All elector is blind
OF otherwise physically incapa-
BILE, the assistance of the return
ing officer may be called i'll and
it is manifest that if the system
were adopted in this country
where so many of our voters
are "blind," in that they cannot
read, the returning officer, if he

Perhaps some OF our readers have
seen the statement that manufactur-
ing pays SO often they are getting
tired of hearing it, and have cOnclu-
ded that we say it just because some
one else says so occasionally. We
do not write it simply because some
one says so in a guessing way; but
we write it because experience is
is constantly proving it to be so right
at our doors, and because we wish
y our people to see it and enjoy its al.
vantages.
1t now comes in print that the
Raleigh shoe factory which has been
established only about two years, is
paying 15 per cent. on the money in

together and put it to work in some
such small enterprise? 1t takes a
large capital to run big thing in
cotton manufacturing and such like;
but small capital will run smaller

Mahone's friends here are

say thet he has had no idea of

the campaign in order to get
absolute control of the party
machinery so that he could fix
mp the delegation to the next

HOW TO MAKE A GOOD IMPRESSION

"If every kind Of business in Sa-

would all kinds Of business be more

sion would get abroad that Savan-

town, and the result would be a
great increase in her business and a
more rapid growth OF her pOpula-

question, but not one Of them is an

SENATOR WAsHBURN.

Minnesota will send General W. D.
Washburn to the United States Senate
to succeed Dwight NJ. Sabin. This will
be change for the better, as it could
not well be worse. Sabin has been next
to nonentity during the six years he
has been in the Senate. Hewas elected
because of his supposed immense
wealth, and he might have welded some
influence had the manufacturing con-
Germ of which he was president and
principal owner not failed few years
ago, and deprived him Of the power
and means of distinguis hing himself.
Latterly he has been recovering his grip,
financially, and as a consequence he
sought reelection. Washburn is a
millionaire several times over, owns
more mills and makes more flour than
any other man in the world, and OF
course will ''shine" in the American
House of Lords. But he has brains
also, in this respect being better fixed"
than the ma iority of the Statesmen"
with whom he will associate for the
next six years.

JUDGE ESTEE.

The Republican members of the
Nevada Legislature, and ali but five OF
the Republicans in the California Leg
islature, have signed petition to Gen
eral Harrison praying him to appoint
MN. Estee, of California, to place in
his Cabinet. Some of the names men
toned in connection with the proposed
honor have made intelligent men on
the Coast very weary, as for instance
that of NJ. h. De Young, of the San
Francisco Chronicle. Were General
Harrison to take De Young into his
Cabinet, all the self-respecting men
west of the Rocky Mountains would
feel like protesting. 1t has seemed
that every fellow from the West who
figured in the Chicago convention
thought he was entitled to Cabinet
portfolio.
1t has not been made plain to THE
HERALD that California should have
one of the seven executive positions at
the disposal of the President. There
are twenty-one States each with a
larger Congressional representation
than California, and some of them with
four, five and six times as many Con-
gressmen; so, if the Cabinet offices
we're to be apportioned according 10
representation, our western neighbor
would get about one eighth of q secre-
taryship. However, if the Pacific
Slope can get one Of the Departments
by asking for it and making a noise /,
We are getting the better OF the
East and South, and should let them
complain. If we are to have mem
Der of the Cabinet, let US have one in
whom we can feel little sectional
pride, and not some scrub whose only
recommendation is his money or his
"gall." The members of the Legisla-
ture s have done wisely in agreeing upon
Judge Estee, who is one of the ablest
and cleanest of the California RepublI-
cans. There are comparatively few
prominent members of the party in the
State who would be a credit to the
Coast, and Estee is one of the few. He
has long stood in the very front rank
of the California bar, is a law author,
and occupies foremost place among
the progressive citizens of the State.
The far west will have a worthy repre-
sentative in Harrison's Cabinet if Judge
Estee finds place there.
