THE AUSTRALIAN SYSTEM.

In every instance where the Aus
tralian system Of voting has been
tried 1t has given general satisfac-
ton. II Is calculated to place the
ballot in the hands of the voter In
such a way as to remove all possl-
bility of undue influence. In Mon
tana at the recent election the plan
gave entire satisfaction. With this,
like all other methods, dishonesty
and frauds can not always be
avoided.
An instance of this kind is illus
trated In the controversy now pend
ing I'm the Tunnel precinct In the
press in that locality 1t is stated
that this precinct was merely Il
temporary railroad camp on the
line of the road in process of con-
struction between Gallatin and
Butte. 10 Is stated that on the
morning of election the contractor
called his men together and said to
them:
eve have new system of voting
this year, and it Is impossible for
the bosses to tell how q man votes.
Now, men, | have simply this to
say, that unless a very large propor-
ton of the votes which shall come
out of this box Tonight are straight
democratic every man in this camp
may consider himself discharged to-
morrow morning"
The only remedy for this is found
in the honesty of mankind and the
vindication of our laws. The day
will soon come when public senti-
ment will cause those who attempt
to violate the expressed will of the
people through the ballot-box to
suffer severe penalty of the law.
Each year the statutes of the various
states are being changed 80 as to
place safeguards around the liber-
ties of the public franchise. Con-
gress has under consideration the
enactment of national law which
will protect the public ballot. Many
of our congressman are In favor OF
adopting the Australian plan. The
day has come when the party in
power can no longer ignore the
claims and rights of minorities and
intimidated ma)orities. The word
intimidation does not express the
full meaning of the Objectionable
features to be overcome. In many
instances it means boycotting, de-
struction of private property and
oftentimes murder The preserva-
ton of free ballot and an honest
count is the only safeguard of our
free institutions. 1t makes but little
difference what party is In power,
sooner or later corruption and vio-
lence, long suffered, is sure 10 be
waged against the forces of govern
ment. The time has come when
il should he the proud boast of all
parties that there is no solid South,
or solid North. That everywhere
through our broad domain the voter
is guaranteed the privilege of de-
posting and having counted his
ballot, cast according to the dictates
of conscience and knowledge of his
country's welfare.
The issue Is squarely before the
people. The republicans Of Missis'
sippi and other Southern states have
asked congress to protect them from
violence and outrage. Awed by in
timidation many of them have re
solved to refrain from using the bal
lot until congress shall pass an act
which will guarantee peace anc
safety to all who choose to exercise
the highest privilege of citizenship

THE OLD INDIAN SCOUT.

IhG OlIJJ In DIAN StOO L.
Arthur r.. Chapman, who proba-
bly, knows more about Indians than
any other man i'm this country, was
for many years an Indian scout and
fighter. He first Joined the United
States army with General Howard,
and of late has been special at
tache of the war department. He Is
known personally by all the Indian
chiefs In the country, and they re-
pose implicit confidence I'm him.
AS an Intelligent interpreter, nblo to
convey the right idea to both Indian
and white man Ia most difficult
task, Mr.. Chapman has no equal.
He was at Bear Paw mountain
when Chief Joseph surrendered In
1877 to General Miles, and has since
taken him and other chiefs to Wash
ington, ID. c., several times, and
also to the Indian territory.
In the course of his conversation
he explained the real cause of the
trouble that drove Joseph on the
warpath. The interpreter, Whit
man, told the Indians that General
Howard said If they were not all
back on the reservation In thirty
days with their stock the soldiers
would drive them back and take
what stock was left without the line.
At least that is the way Joseph un-
derstood him.
General Howard, however, did
not men to take their stock; he
would have given them time to get
all their horses.
The Indians tried hard to get their
stock across Snake river, and lost
more than half of 1t, and were even
then not In time, so they became
disheartened and took to the noun
talns, where council was held and
war declared, Joseph himself being
off on hunting trip on the day
they came to the decision, but OF
course agreed to 1t.
"Joseph," said Mr.. Chapman,
"was n brave Indian and a hard
fighter"

WE JUST MADE A FARMER Oh
JIM.
Mrs. W. II. Austin.l

Four brave, brawny boys-and our fond,
foolish hearts
Beat high in their joy and their pride
Four treasures immortal intrusted to us
To rear and to guard and to guide,
IL was ours to fathom the gifts OF each
mind,
To study the depths of each heart,
And discern, If we might just the labor
of life
That Dame Nature designed for their
part.
We had pondered it long, but 'tw $
settled ut last
That our Henry preacher should be,
And our John, you should see, for law
yer was born,
And our Joseph should make un NJ. d.
But the fourth was so quiet and queer In
his way
That twas hard to decide about him
And we needed his help, so we said with
a sigh,
"Wc'll just make farmer of Jim.'
So the three went forth from the barn
yard gate
In the kingdom of books to toll,
To delve scholastic lore--while Jim
He dclved in the farms rich soil.
Twas goodly sum We had garnered by
For use In this hour OF need;
Twas the savings slow of the fruga
years
But'twas spent with reckless speed,
Twas goodly sum-like the wind it
went,
And the three never knew how We
planned,
How we worked and scrimped and
struggled and saved
To furnish their largo demand.
And Jim-how he toiled through the
ceaselcss round
Till each wearisome day was done;
Undaunted he by the scathing storm
Or the noontide's scorching sun.
With plow and sickle, through crowded
days,
He wrought till the fields were shorn
And girded In sheaves was the harvests
grain,
And garnered the golden corn.
II was hard--so hard-through the weary
months,
Yet not complaint from Jim,
Though all went out 10 the three abroad
And nothing remained for him.
Deeds grand and brave has the soldier
done
In the midst of the battles strife,
Yet naught that is nobler will e'cr b'
known
Than this patient, unseifish life.
But twas over at last, and from college
halls
Came forth the children three,
Full of unknown words and of higi
ideas,
And of hopes for the days to be.
And they went abroad on the world
highway
To learn that Language dead
And that classic lore was a WORTHLESS
stock
To exchange for their daily bread.
And what of Jim? He had read in book
or the great and good OF yore,
OF the glories of empires passed away
And OF nations to rise no more.
But II was from the page of nature
book,
From the blossom and bird and bee
From the soft, green earth and the ten
der skies,
From the mountain and surging sea
That he learned of the deeper meaning
of life.
Learned its scheme and scope sublime
| And its calms that brood in the solitude
Learned the needs OF the soul diVihe
\ Unfettered by rule or measure OF school
His mind looked up from the sod, :,
And his thoughts grew broad as tn
universe,
And deep as the things Of God,
And the people came and besought ou
Jim
OF his knowledge to them impart,
And he taught with the simple eloquenc
That thrills through the human hear
And they bowed them down to this so
of toll,
And they cried that the nations nee
Snd s his s'fsay Soor ein'% Ia word o and deed
And they came from the near, and the
came from the far,
And they wouldn't take'no, from hin
But they crowned him with title an
wealth and fame,
And they made statesman OF Jim.

WELLS OVER JORDAN.

There are several flowing wells on the
line of the Utah & Nevada railway between
this city and the point of the mountain, and
some of them are throwing streams OF con
siderable volume and with force. The
water, also, is of fairly good quality; 1t is
drinkable, and will answer very well for
irrigation. Why are not more OF these
wells driven! 1t is against reason tosup-
pose that the present pipes have tapped the
only subterranean streams in that vast
plain, and that all the water which can be
brought to the surface through drive wells
has been found. It is reasonable to pre-
sumo that if water can be reached in one
Mace il can be found i'll another in the
neighborhood. 1t seems to us, the demon
stration having been made, that water can
be found anywhere between the Jordan
and the Oquirrh range, and that
the obtaining of an abundant sup
ply only involves the expenditure of
money. If the presumption is correct, it
should be only little while before that
wilderness of sand and saleratus, of grease
wood and salt-grass, is bright and beauti-
ful. spread over with green fields and
stately trees, and dotted with pleasant
homes. With fertilizers and an abundance
of water, it is an easy matter to redeem the
land ION the other side of Jordan" and
make it highly productive, and no country
cut of doors lies more eligibly than the
ten mile strip between the river and the
mountains The owners of the suburban
plats, the divisions and the townsites, as
well as the purchasers of the lots, should
think of these things, and by cooperation
or single-handed, drive wells wherever
water is needed until the plains has been
made to literally blossom as the rose" A
flowing well adds to the value of the land
in the neighborhaad ten times the cost of
the well, hence there should be sufficient
encouragement 20 risk the expense.
