Mr.. G. Norris Haller was . pioneer
on Puget Sound and one of Seattle's
most energetic and progressive citi-
Gems, 81 years Of age, having been
born at York, Pa, in 1852. His faith
er, Granville o. Halter, was one of
General Grants personal friends dur
ing the Mexican war, in which they
were brother officers. He came to
Washington with his regiment in the
early Cos, commanding one or two
expeditions during the Indian war in
1856 and 1856. After being promoted
to the rank of Major of the Ninth
United States infantry, Colonel Hal
Ter was placed in command of the fort
at Fort Steilacoom, and while in that
station was joined by Mrs. Haller, his
young son. G. Morris, and his little
daughter, May, who afterwards became
Mrs. Lieutenant Nichols, and who
died about two years ago.
At the breaking out of the rebellion
in 1861, Major Haller was ordered
East, and served under Mcclellan in
the army of the Potomac. At this
time young Morris was in school in
Pennsylvania, and whom LEES than u
years Of age was with his father on the
neld ct Gettysburg, witnessing the
whole Of that terrible battle.
Returning to Warrington Territory
Col. Halter resumed his residence on

In the discussions of the secret ballot bill
before the last legislature Representative
Joseph II. Manley was an open opponent of
the measure. But since the Massachusetts
election has furnished such exemplary
proofs OF the practicability of the system
MI. Manley has acknowledged with great
fra,ikness that lit has in the main proved
successful" aud we are inclined to think
that he is becoming enthusiastic over it,
since he declares that, "its virtues seem to
be SO apparent, by removing from the voters
all fear of duress and keeping the polling
places quiet and orderly and reducing the
expenses of a campaign, that the system or
one growing out of 1t will constantly gain in
favor" Mr.. Manley expresses some doubts
whether the Massachusetts system, by its
somewhat particular requirements as to the
marking OF the cross, may not sometimes de-
prive the voter Of the intent of his ballot,
and suggests that this is one Of the points
that will need attention. This very likely
may be so, but that also is one of the points
in which the safeguards of the system are
most likely to be overleaped. Under the
present voting system there is great trouble
for the ignorant voter on account of mislead-
ing split tickets, and there must be trouble
for him under any system. The Massachu-
sets system probably has as few troubles
for him as any. Nevertheless. the Massa-
chusetts law is not, of course, perfect, and
may be modified to advantage perhaps. But
| great vigilance must be exercised that, il

| form be not lost

Some OF the addresses before the Catholic
conference in Baltimore, notably that of
Daniel Dougherty, appear not to have
been in very good taste to say
the least Mr.. Dougherty's vindica-
ton of the Catholic church was un-
called for. and, besides, its assumptions
will not bear the test of critical examination.
There is no persecution of the Catholic
church in this country. 1t Is conceded all
the privileges granted TO other denompa-
lions. The trouble with it is that it is not
satisfied to stand on the same footing with
other denominations, but demands priyil-
eyes in excess of those enjoyed by others.
II wants special schools in which special
religious dogmas Of its own may be taught.
1t wants the right to introduce into State in
stltuti0ns forms and ceremonies peculiar to
itself. As we'll might the Baptists ask that
a baptistry be added to every State institu-
ton where people are confined for punish
ment or reformation on the ground that i'm
mersion is the only true form of baptism

there on the ground that that is essential
to the perfect teaching of their faith If the
Baptists Should make such request it would
undoubtedly be denied, and they would have
no ground for complaint of persecution be.
cause of its denial. just as little do the
Catholics have, because similar requests by
them are denied.
Concerning Mr.. Dougherty's claim that the
Catholics made America what she is, that
all the religious freedom and liberation
which exist today are to be set down to the ir
credit. we have only to say that history does
not bear out the claim. 1t is true the Mary
land colony, a large part of which was made
up OF Catholics, did establish religious free
dom, but any other policy would have beer

from whatever credit properly belongs to
the Maryland colony, but when its action is
made the basis of claim that to the Catbo.

freedom. it becomes necessary to tell all the
facts, and in the light of all the facts the acI
of the Maryland colony assumes very diff
ferent aspect from that which Mr.. Dougherty
seeks to exhibit ii in.

Canadian Pacific be allowed to make such
connection as it wished, the Ottawa officials
put veto on the scheme by refusing the low
traffic rates necessary to make the transcon-
tinental route financial success. This, ac-
cording to the Montreal Gazette, is the Sc
cret of the failure OF the contract with the

Undoubtedly the worst misfortune of the
Ohio election is the opportunity which the
Democrats have obtained to re-district the
State so as to give their party great ma
jority in the congressional representation of
the State in future Congresses. Ohio now
sends sixteen Republican Representatives
and five Democratic. When the legislature
elected the other day gets its work done
there will probably be at least fourteen
Democrats to seven Republican. The extent
of this gerrymader may be understood by re-
calling the fact that Ohio is normally Re-
publican State by plurality of from twenty

NO reasons have as yet been assigned for

LOGIC OF EVENTS POINT TO MR.. REED.

The logic of events appear to point to the
Hon. Thomas B. Reed as the next speaker
of the House of Representatives. We be.
lieve that it is conceded by all that he has at
this time considerable lead over any one of
his competitors.
Mr.. Reed has been twice supported fol
speaker by the Republicans when such sup.
port meant only compliment, but it was
such compliment as presumably carried
with 1t the desire that he should be elected
and It certainly meant entire confidence in
his ability, to fill the responsible position.
1t will be difficult for those who have
heretofore voted for Mr.. Reed to find any
good reason for not doing so now that the
Republicans have majority and can elecl
him. There Is plenty of good material fol
