AN UNFAIR ATTACK.

= We have seldom seen % unfail
N attack On . public man a. il
new being made On Cosgressnar

accusing him Of voting for Tor

follswisg:
"The Reno Journal says Mr..

1.-The Journal may 30 right in its

neither the Journal ner eny other

of Bartins, condemns the act or in

New, the facts Of the case are
these:
Mr.. Bartins went into the RsPub-

Tho Australian Ballot
Boston.

There 10 no question that the
Democrts suffered severely by the
Australian ballet system. This
seems to me to have been more the
case than it WAS at the State elect
ion, They lose the most in the
heavy Democratic wards. The dis
gust of the old bones " ith the NOM
nation of Mr.. Calvin for Mayor,
and the general feeling that the
parties behind him were net big
enough to run the Democratic politics
Of Boston. had something to do with
this. but the new system of voting
had . great agency also. 1t il per-
fectly plain that there are q good
nanny voters (thsir number prob
ably reaches into thsusands) Who
do not vote under this new system
with fidelity. Some of then feel
this - strongly in advance that
they are deferred from voting at all,
others make mistakes in marking;
others get discouraged and only
mark . portion OF the ticket. The
old Democratic party Will never
again cast the majority it used 70
cast in Boston. 1t il so much easier
to march up loaded With the ballet
70 the polls and drop it in than it is
- pick cut your ticket for yourself.
The regular Republican ticket may
ct times suffer also under this sys-
tenn. though not exactly from the
same causes. when ballots are
made now the voter scans his Tick
Of. He asks himself in the case OF
every candidate in effect. the quss-
ton, "Shall / vote for this man 2"
It requires . positive affirmative act
on his part to do - az regards every
man On the ticket. You would be
surprised to find how much more
careful this makes the voter. He
might easily approve lot with
the party Endorsement and throw
the ballot in. where, when he comes
to pick out mis- ticket for himself,
reading all the candidates, he picks
the best without regard to party

The Matrimonial Limit.

An animated controversy has sprung
up in England over the demand in
Social reform platform that the parties
who want to marry shall not do so under
twenty-five years of age, ladies in
cluded. This is likely to supptant the
antiquated conundrun, Is marriage
failure? All unmarried people, even
if they have far passed the period. are
taking ground yehemently in Opposi-
ticn. There would, apparently, be more
favor for law requiring all persons to
be married at least once before twenty
five years of age. The lawmakers in
this country have had meager success
in attempts to regulate matrimonial eli
gibility. The results have not been such
as to invite much outlay of legislative
industry in trying to keep connublal
hedge up until heads and hearts are
supposed to be more in cooperation.
There have been terrible misfits, in the
legal and critical eye. that might be
made in heaven, as far as general sue
cess as q match was concerned. while
the most harmonious conditions, as they
seemed, had sequences that could but
delight his satanic majesty, if his dispo-
sition is correctly reported.

Omen Patrol Wagons.

The Boston Herald. and several other
papers, are waging war upon open pa
troll wagons in cities, not personally
from any special irritation, but in the
interest of public decency and the COM
mon brotherhood. The Herald insists
that the uncovered vehicle is "a relic
of the custom of conveying murderers
in open cart to the gallows. when the
morbid mob followed the horrible cara
van to the scaffold with shouts and
Oaths." There are people still who
take interest in observing the occU-
pants of these daShing cOnyeyances.
The latter are not always persons so
stepped in vice and crime as to be de-
void of sensibilities. They may be un-
fortunate, or the victims of circum-
stances, and it is not sort of advertise
ment of them that is eXhilarating to the
pIeasurable emotions, and as an object
lesson to the young observers, it Enot
altogether wholesome. The paSSerS
who do not turn an eager gaze upon the
occupants of a patrol wagon are as rare
as the ladies who can pass another Oh
the street with new bonnet or dress
without turning to get another look
at it.

Personal Characteristics.

Nearly every person has some pecul-
iarity in movement that aids in estab-
fishing his identity. Parties who have
fancied they were effectually disguised
have been detected by some character
istic motion that has been noted. Not
long since a man who fled to this coun-
try from Austria with $150,000 of en-
bezzled money was recognized by the
pursuing detective from his we'll known
habit af laying his left fOrefinger along
side of his nose. The man was we'll
disguised, but when the undisguised
digit took it's peculiar, but wonted trip
to the nasal organ, the craft, industry
and long journey were worse than use
less. Parties who contemplate becon-
ing embeZzlers. burglars. bigamiSts,
politicians or any of the peculiar classes
should avoid acquiring any identifying
peculiarities. One cannot well help
some individuality of step or voice, but
this is not specially obnoxious if it does
not violate the eanons of taste or grace,
as many of the gyrations about the
nose do.

TIE TRIRUNE FIRE.

II sympathy were the sovereign balm
for the hurts of this life, then our Mime
RpoliS neighborS, the Tribune, the Jour-
nal and the TribuDe-Star, would have
no occasion to feel the disaster which
befell them in the fearful conf agration
Df Saturday night. But there are times
when prompt assistance is of more avail
than expressions of sympathy. And
this is one of them. All that the GLOBE
gould do was done for our Minneapolis
morning contemporary; and all that
ran be done the GLOBE stands ready to
no for all the Minneapol is papers who
Rre sufferers from the fire. The presses
md all the machinery Of the GLOBE es-
adjustment were Immediately placed
at the disposal of the Tribune when it
was known that their outfit had been
destroyed: and thus, through the facili-
ties furnished by our superb equip
ment, the Tribune was enabled to
make its appearance yesterday morning
on the regular schedule time. And
through the kind Offices of the various
st. Paul newspaper establishments all
three of the Minneapolis papers who
were rendered homeless by the burning
of the Tribune building will be afforded
facilities for continuing their regular
publications until they can secure homes
for themselves. 1t is this milk of
human kindness in the newspaper fra
ternity, poured out so copiOusly in the
hour of affection, that more than COM
pensates for those aceTbitieS which are
the OutgrOwth of rivalry.
True to the instincts of Northwestern
Journalism, our Minneapolis c0ntem-
,pOraries will be on their feet again in
an Incredibly short time, and with new
equipment, fresher vigor, and more
comfortably housed than ever, will be
in the best condition TO meet the re-
quirements of the hour. But neither
active aid nor heartfelt sympathy can
call back the noble spirits who went
up from out the eonflagration to their
reward above. As for them, the only
consolation we have left is the sad yet
tender light which plays around the
memory of heroes who died at the post
of duty.

NEGRO EMIGRATION.

The Mexican government is reported
inclined to encourage the location of
blacks from the South in colonies in
that country. In five of the states ex-
tensiVe tracts Of good agricultural ter
ritory have been rendered them on very
favorable conditions. The only material
requirement is that they shall cultivate
the land in good faith and deport them
selves as industrious citizens. There is
some limitation to the number that will
be granted the concessions, but as it is
large, there is ample room for a trial of
the capacities of the Southern negroes
for self-Support and government. The
scheme was projected by two eolored
men in Texas, and they claim that
10000 eolonists will go from that state,
and larger numbers from North Caro-
lima and other states. The chief staple
it is proposed to grow in Mexico is cot
ton, to which that part Of the coun-
try is said TO be well adapted.
If this movement succeeds. as there
Is apparent prospect that it may, it will
be matter of considerable concern to
portions of the South that lose the labor
of the blacks. 1t is noticeable that the
migratory movement originates and has
its chief strength in states wheTe there
has been little or no complaint that the
negroes did not have full recognition at
the ballot box. No political grievances
are apparent in it. So far as appears,
it is an intelligent effort to better the
condition of the participants by estab-
fishing communities of their own.
There has been disposition among the
white leaders in the-South TO encourage
blacks to establish colonies out Of the
country. Gov. LEE, of Virginia, out
lined plan to send certain percent
age annually to Hayti or some other
country. But it is by no means Ger
tain that the interests of the South
would be promoted by any considerable
depletion of its labor element. The
blacks are still, and, no doubt, will con-
tinue to constitute, the chief working
class, especially for field and unskilled
labor. There is no surplus now, and
the vast undeYeloped resources OF that
region need an increase rather than re-
duction of Its industrial population.
Just at present, also, there is political
eXigency. A census is to be taken the
coming year, and it will form the basis
Of representation in congress and the
