Miss Nettie Hall again has charge of
the Cross Roads school. 1t speaks well
for her that the patrons have chosen her
again to preside over this school. We
called to zee her one day last week, but
found her with only seven scholars present.
She is doing her best with this little
handful, but where there are so many
she ought to be better sustained. There
are lots of children in the neighborhood,
and the least of the children ought to be
going while the weather is good and the
school not crowded.

But Chicago rallied again and said:
"But you must admit that the northern
farms are managed better than yours.
You can't help but see that as you travel
through our country. The Germans are
splendid farmers" "splendid," said the
solemn man, "and if you could pick 'em

understand our people. We have aD idea
that there are bigger things in this world
than money" After pause in the
conversation a New York man put in and
said "Well, I'm travelling man, too,

south until the past two years, and I tell
you I have been undeceived. The south.
ern people don't show up like the north

ern farmers are fearfully in debt. The
farmers don't own the farms-not half of
them. They are covered all over with
mortgages from New York to Kansas.
Boston Owls Kansas pretty much, and
don't dare to sell her out, for there are
no buyers. 1t is a common trick in
Kansas and Iowa for a man to borrow
two thousand dollars on farm that was
not worth dollar morethan that. The
agents ofthese eastern syndicates that had
millions to lend got liberal commission
on every dollar they loaned, and SO after
the farmer had already got all it was
worth he wanted to get more, and be
would go to the tax assessor and say:"I
see you have got my farm down at two
thousand dollars. 1t is worth every dol
lar of four thousand. I don't want my
farm sandered in any such way" And
so the assessor would put him down at
four thousand, and then he would 60 to
the money king and say, want to get
another thousand dollars on my land, and
he would pull out his tax receipts and
show them, and get SOME more money.
Well, after his notes fell due he didn't

The Progress OF Ballot Reform.

People who have not given particular
attention to the ballot reform movement in
this country do not understand what an
impetus it has received in the last year OF
two. This impetus was the more marked
after the recent presidential election, be-
cause on that occasion the abuse of the bal
lot was so fragrant as to direct general at
tention to the need for reform.
Some form Of the Australian voting svs-
TEN has been adopted in half dozen
states-Indiana, Massachusetts,, Montana,
Rhode Island, Tennessee and Wisconsin,
and there are fair prospects that New Jer-
sey and Missouri win also adopt some re-
form method. 1t is especially gratifying
that Indiana has adopted ballot reform
measure. The outc~y against election
frauds in that state was so great that
neither the legislature nor the governor
could afford to ignore it.
The New York and Pennsylvania legisla-
lures are considering this question, but it
is not thought that either state will take
any decisive action in the matter vet
awhile. In the New York legislature there
are two election reform bills-the Saxton.
which was passed previously in somewhat
different form, and which was vetoed by
the governor, and one which is supposed to
have been outlined by Gov. Hill The 3D.
ponents of the Saxton bill say that it
might tend to check election abuses
in the cities, but that it would
increase them at the rural districts.
The opponents of Gov Hills bill say that
it would not check the abuses anywhere.
The republican legislature is not likely to
pass the Hill bill, and if it should pass the
Saxton, the governor in all probability
would veto it again Mr. Quays model
Pennsylvania legislature seems inclined to
smother the bill which is before it.
Any bill fashioned after the Australian
election law would pe an experiment in
this country, but one worth making; and
if it should prove to be successful one,
other states would speedily fall into line.

Mexican Territory Not Wanted.


The sensational story, published in our
dispatches day or two ago, that filibus-
tering expedition, composed of Americans
and commanded by Charles Edmund Rob-
inson, an Texas ranger, who has a big
reputation as an Indian fighter. was pre-
pairing to enter Lover California and
wrest that territory from Mexico, does not
appear to have much foundation. In San
Francisco the impression seems to prevail
That there will be figating in Lower Califor-
MIA between the fIlbusters and the Mexicans
before many days, and thas al effort will
be made by the flibusters to draw
this country into whatever trouble may oc-
cur.
According to the newspaper reports the
purpose of Commander Robinson and his
followers is to seize Lower California,
organize a territorial government and APP
ply to congress for admission into the
union. 1t is said that toe filibusters are
members of the American Annexation
League, which has its headquarters ia New
York city, and which. according to rumor,
has been trying to stir up trouble in several
directions. The head of the league in New
York is a lawyer named Gibbons. He ap-
pears to be harmless sort Of a person and
when a reporter called on him one day this
week for information about the alleged at
tempt to be made TO deprive Mexico of
Lower California, he readily answered all
questions put to him. He admitted that
there was such an organization as the
American Annexation League, but declared
that it had no intention to make war upon
Mexico. He said that there were rich mines
in Lower California of which the English
were trying to get control. The members
of the league, be said, who had gone to
Lower California, and those who propose to
go there, sought only to control these mines
for the benefit of Americans, and to estab-
lish colony.
organization. Its desire to control rich
mines for Americans is certainly commend
able. 1t would be some satisfaction to
know why it is so solicitious for Americans.
The chances are that the American Annexa-
ton League is composed of number of
cranks whose chief aim is to acquire little
notoriety. No doubt thore ara good

Centennial Celebration Mistakes.

There have been a great many mistakes

those of some of the other states, got the
idea that they were not only to be fed and
lodged while ia New York, but that their
travelling expenses were to be paid. They
number about 10000, and the cost of trans
porting them to and from New York would
have been about $4,000. The military
committee had no idea of assuming such a
burden. In fact, itcouldn't assume it with

it did not want t. do; and, besides, if it
paid all the expenses of the Pennsylvania
soldiers, it would have to treat tho soldiers

Pennsylvania soldiers insisted, however, and
the committee, rather thaa have trouble,
agreed TO assume the extra burden. But
