10 THE EDITOR OF THE REPUBLICAN JOUR R
NAL: It is generally conceded that all reform

knowledge, or by the combined wisdom of diff
fcrcnt individuals. Recognizing this fact, pro-
vision has been made for the instruction of the
youth Of this State upon the effects of intem-
peranre. and our teachers and school cfticers
are required to see that the provisions of the
law are carried out in such a manner as shall
give to the scholars a thorough knowledge of
the fleets alcohol and other >tmulants have
upon the mind and body of the individual.
We have reasons for believing that this
branch Of instruction in cur common schools is
at the present very much neglected. While
SOME Of our teachers are quite thorough in Civ
ng this instruction and insist that their pupils
shall j" tiIe to pass GOOD examination in this
respect. many of them, either from a lack of
interest @: want Of knowledge, are Indifferent
as to the matter, or give it at best very Slight
share Of time or attention.
1t goes without saying that the child who
thoroughly knows and realizes the effect of in

Ballot Reform.

The bill introduced in the Maine House last
week by Mr.. Looney of Portland for protect
inc the ballot is naturally attracting much at
tention. The plan is worth consideration at
all events, although its adoption would be quite
expensive while crimes against the ballot in
Maine are few and unimportant. The bill be-
fore the Legislature is based on the Australian
system, which provides that the names of all
candidates proposed by a certain proportion of
voters shall be printed at public expense on
one sheet. To carry out the device in full The
voter would enter polling room where. be-
side himself only the legal supervisors of the
voting are present. The room contains booths
to which after receiving his ballot the voter re-
tires and is free from observation. He would
there take list Of candidates. place a mark
opposite the name of the person he preferred.
and drop it into the ballot box. No one could
then tell for whom he voted.
OF course the voter could sell his vote. but
no one could tell whether he had fulfilled his
bargain, and he might indeed sell out to more
than one. This would naturally lessen the dis
position to buy. Is there any probability that
the Australian system will be adopted in the
Solid South?

For many months it has bcru feared by tie

tally irresponsible for his ,.ct~, and this su>piy
ion is confirmed by the announcement that he
has been arrested in Italy for drawing drafts
which were not honored. Boston Journal.
If this news be true, il marks the close Of
bright and promising career. Not many years
ago Mr.. King occupied the night editors desk
in the office of the Boston Journal. His CON
tributons to the old Scrhncr's magazine made
him known to the editors. and he was engaged
for one year TO travel through the southern
States, accompanied by an artist, and write up
that section for the magazine. The articles
were exceedingly we'll written and interesting
and attracted much attention. They were sub
>equently published in handsome book en-
titled. 1.-The Great South" While in New Or
leans Mr.. King formed the acquaintance Of
Mr.. George W. Cable, then Il clerk in a cotton
factors office, and recognizing his literary
gifts made him known to the editors Of SrIih-
ncr, in which his first successful short stories
appeared. Later Mr.. King went to Europe
writing from London and Paris to the Boston
Journal, New York Evening Post and other
American papers lie also contributed one or
two novels TO the Boston journal. which were
afterward published in book form. At the
| time of the opening of the Northern Pacific
Railroad he returned to this country and re-
| ported that event for the Boston journal. A
| novel, 1.-The Gold Spike" was one of the fruits
! of his trip. short time ago it was reported

to avoid pecuniary cntangemcnt> arising from
