EvERYwuERE the Legislatnre

EVERYWHERE the Legislatures as
well as economists are struggling with
the question of "ballot reform" The
Australian system is assumed as the
ideal basis. The object of this system
is secrecy and freedom from intlmida-
ton, and as consequence purity. 1t
originated in South Australia in 1857:
was introduced into Great Britain in
1872, and has slowly won the ap-
proval of reformers everywhere.
Louisville, KY, first adopted it in
America in So, although some parts of
the scheme were previously introduced
elsewhere, as in Wisconsin. Massa-
chusetts has law already passed, to
take effect in November, 1889. In.
diana and Rhode Island have fallen
into line very recently, and others
States are in the throes of discussion
or have just passed bills favorable.
The new scheme breaks up the
"machine;;" and that is enough to say
for it.

that one of the most serious troubles
threatening the republic was from
Office seekers. The past seven weeks
have greatly strengthened us in that
opinion and we reaflirm that the wei
fare of the country demands some
other methods of dealing out federal
patronage than by the president and
heads of departments. The same
difficulties viii come to any party in

Suffering in Oklahoma.

! CHICAGO, April %. "A Daily News
special from Guthrie, Oklahoma, via
Arkansas city, says: "Guthrie is
plunged into seemingly inextricable
confusion. The difference is between
rival factions at this place to control
the town. The efforts of half dozen
public meetings to settle them have
been baffied. The excitement is at a
very high pitch and confidence is be-
ginning to wayer. The suffering OF
$4,000 unsheltered and unprovisioned
people is something that could be en-
dured only amid such furore. The
scenes by day and by night are unex-
ampled. Thousands are fleeing to
the country and thousands more are
filed with an uncertainty and appre-
hension that amounts to distraction,
as there is no feed and water, no
cover for the bitter cold of night and
the whitening heat of day. The rail
road is gorged with business, and is
temporarily imperative. The town
site is changed every hour by rival
parties MS each secures a temporary
domicile. Not building has been
started and but few more tents will
be raised. Nobody knows where the
streets are and everyone now is just
yielding all things else for the clamor
for food, drink and shelter and the
means of light.
There is great Indignation at the
fact that large numbers, including
many prominent people, got in before
noon yesterday and made selections.
There is also much indignation over
the hundred or more deputy marshals
who used their authority as a cloak
to get on the ground and resigned at
noon. They all have lots. They are
to be singled out and complaints
lodged against them. A resolution
was adopted that every invader be
complained of and efforts will at once
be made to drive them out The feel
ing is very strong IN this matter
1t was wild estimate of the num-
Der of people at Guthrie telegraphed
last night A liberal estimate is 5000.
There were some queer scenes yes
terday A number of men would get
together and agree that street should
run in certain direction and lots
would be staked to face it, The man
adjoining would declare those fellows
had staked directly on the street and
that their lots faced the streets. Thus
no man knows for certainty that he
has lot. Nevertheless, many sites
have been sold, one man paying 800
for a supposed business site. No
trouble has been noticed over this
poiEt, In the state of uncertainty.
eeryyone is good natured and hang
ing on to his claim. A big prairie fire
ragged east of the city last night, and
with the camp fires, made beautiful
sight. A squad of General Merritt's
soldiers guarded the land office all
night.

liz the election of delegates to the
Constitutional Convention to be held
at Boise City July 4th, we are clearly
of the opinion that it will be best for
Bingham county, for many reasons,
If the selection of delegates be made
at a joint meeting Of the central com
mittees of the two parties instead Of
at a general election. In the first
place, it must necessarily be a non
political convention and whatever is
done therein must be submitted to
the ratification of the people In the
second place, it Will save the county
the expense of an election, and every
body knows what an expense an cleo.
tion entails.
In the third place, Bingham county
should send its most suitable men.
these are more likely to be selected
by committees than at a general cleo.

a NEW ADMISSION BILL
To se Framed BY the senate Com
faitteo and Pressed to Passage.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3I.--The Repuh-
lican senatorial caucus to-day was
productiveof results in the adoption OF
= resolution insisting upon the adnais-
sion as states OF North and South Da-
kota, Montana and Washington.
While II was regarded es expedient
that constitutional conventions should
be called in the two Dakotas TO pass
upon new constitutions, the senator's
are resolved that another vote shall
not be required upon the question OF
division. There was a lack of ana-
nimity, however, in regard to New
Mexico. Senators were not wanting in
support OF the adoption of non-parfi-
san policy. which would include that
territory. Itwas argued on the other
hand that, owing to the peculiarities
OF the people OF New Mexico, the ter
ritory was not yet fitted for admission.
The statements contained in petit
ton from Albuquerque against adsnis-
sion recently presented 10 congress
were quoted with effect in this eonnec-
ton.
The final decision OF the caucus was
that the committee On territories
Shoald frame & substitute for the
house bin. and that its rejection by
the house would saddle that body
with an unpleasant responsibility TO
the people of the West. When this
hill is made up. Il viii be pushed
through the senate with expedition. as
1t is the desire 20 reach the conference
stage at least this session.
