Die measure to induce him to go to the polls
and cast his ballot IS not likely. Practically,
then, the only value of Mr.. Chambers bill
will be to ensure a fair count but a fair
count where there has not been a free baNot
will avail little towards ensuring pure cleo
tions.
The provisions of Mr.. Lodges bill are not
known to the public with sufficient accuracy
to render an intelligent discussion of it pos
sible. Generally it is described as an adap-
tation of the Australian system to CON
gressional elections. But for the success
full working of this system the great
mass of the voters must be OF sufficient
intelligence to read the ballot. Where the per
cent Of illiterates is small provision is
practicable allowing them to call in assist
anee in marking the ballot, but where it Is
very large, as in many Southern communi-
ties, it would be very difficult to make it
work successfully. However, it will be time
enough to discuss Mr.. Lodges bill when its
details are forthcoming. As for Mr.. Chand-
lers 1t is questionable whether it will
accomplish enough in the direction of a
pure ballot in the South to reconcile the
Northern States to the surrender by them
OF State control over congressional elections
which 1t is liable to compel.

| In April last, we asked you to to intrust to

meeting Of the company in May. This re-
suited in change OF management, the intro.
ductlon OF reforms and economies, and fl
nancial reorganization of the company that
has met general approval.
| During the progress Of this reorganization
| it has been frequently suggested in the public

the cOmpany's securities that il would give
greater stability to the recognized company

full working out of the plan of reOrganiZa-
ton, and absolutely in the interest of the
property, could be secured for several years.
Consulting our own inclination and con-
venience, we would prefer TO leave the man.
agement Of this good property to others; but
we recognize the force of the suggestion and
the necessity of some such arrangement, and
as many shareholders believe that great ad-
vantageS are likely to result to the holders Of
all classes OF the company's securities from
such cooperation, we have consented to act
in the matter.

The composition of the two leading COM
mittees of the House, that of postoffices and
post roads and the judiciary, causes the job
bers and lobbyists to complain bitterly"
writes the Washington correspondent of the
Boston Transcript. The cause of these re-
pinings on the part of the lobbyists is the
fact that Mr.. Reed has put upon them men,
bers who favor measures to break up lot
teries by stringent legislation against use of
the mails for such purposes. AS these two
committees have the power to shape legisla-
ton in this respect, the jobbers and lobby
lists who no doubt reap rich profits from
General Beauregard's Louisiana concern, are

BOSTON, 14th December, 1889.
At meeting Of the board Of Dir ecr Ors
held this day, the following preamble
and resolution were unanimously adj
opted:
WI REAS, 1t il officially reported to
the Board that deposits Of bonds under
the ReOrgaDizatiO Plan aggregate la
Europe $30,313, 700, and In America
$9S, 547, 900, or In all Sl2S, $50, $50,
and also that decisive majority Of each
an1 every one Of the thirty.six issues Of
bonds Of the AtchisOn System has been
so deposited, and therefore, all rights Of
holders to make deposits have virtually
ceased.
NEVERTHELESS, 1t being the desire
or the Board to prevent injustice and
hardship to distant and absent holders
who haYO ither not become acquainted
with the Plan or through circumstances
were unable to avail themselves Of il, it
is therefore
VOTED, That the Chairman be au-
thOrized to receive, in hi, discretion,
bonds for deposit under the Plan up to
aud including the thirty-first day Of De.
cember, 1879, under the conditions
heretofore announced.

The Banta Case.

The Banta will case came to termina-
ton, so far as the taking of testimony
goes, yesterday. The DAY was consumed
in putting in testimony in rebuttal of
what son-in-law Pierce has to say about
father Banta. Mrs. Banta was the chief
witness, and there was little elected that
was new or interesting, as is usual in
rebuttal testimony. 1t is nearly always
of negative nature. The plaintiff then
put in evidence a deposition taken in
Ohio, made by John Pierce, brother of
William, the husband Of the defendant
in the suit, and the trustee under
the trust deed, and executor
under the will. This deposition
was really taken by the defense, but was
not considered of Importance enough to
warrant its introduction. The plaintiffs
attorneys thought there was point in
this testimony, inasmuch as it spoke Of
efforts being made in Ohio to
have guardian appointed for
Banta. This testimony is in
direct conflict with the testimony
given by Mrs. Banta when she was on
the witness stand.
The case went over to next Monday, at
which time the attorneys are to assail
the ears of the jurors with the argument
of the case.

The Grand Jury.

Some comment is made on the street
as to the length of time the present
Grand Jury has been in session. The
only point to be made would be in
reference to tie expense incurred by the
county. Outside of that consideration
it is distinct gain to the public to have
the Grand Jury organized for business.
Now the question of expense cuts no
figure in this for the reason that no ex-
pense is incurred excepting for such days
as the body may be at actual work. AS a
matter of fact, the present Grand Jury
has not been burden on the taxpayers
to any large extent. The last body OF
this kind that sat in the county cost
about $S 600, whereas the present one has
so far cost only about $3000 1t has not
much more to do, and will in all proba-
bility disband at an early day.
The present Grand Jury has done ex-
cellent work. Its full measure is not yet
known and will not be until it's report is
presented to the courts and made public.
Enough, however, is known to make an
excellent impression as to its work. 1t
has found deficits in the Auditors Office
amounting to about $4,000. 1t is quite
possible that the full extent of
the populations and downright
jobberies committed in the handling of
the public funds in past years reaches up
to six, or ten, or twenty times that
amount. The way the books stand it is
impossible to fix the limits Of this game
OF punder.
In many cases the stubs of the books
on which warrants are drawn are lost
bodily, and gone to the limbo of things
lost from the earth. There is thus no
way to trace the funds. In one notable
case a person in whose case a war
rant for $1,000 was drawn, as is we'll
known, is pure NTH. How many of
the same sort are there?
