THE Australian system of voting is
enjoying a great boom in this country
just now.
1t provides absolute privacy to vo-
ters who. unintimidatcd or uninhu-
enced, select from officially printed
tickets their choice of parties and can
didates.
Experience has already shown that
the plan is good and effects the object
desired-a free. untrammeled express
ion of the peoples will.
SO far as we have seen, however. the
system is contemplated for use only at
general elections, which will not cure
the greatest, because the most common
and extensive, of electoral evils.
Hence, if it be u good thing for gen
eral elections. why not equally good
for the conduct of primary elections,
for it is in these that the character of
the party tickets, to be afterward tried
by the popular judgment at the gener-
al poll, is made ?
If there is anything wolse than in
timidation of voter, it is to force
upon him choice of evils-to compel
him to select from an assortment of bad
tickets, manufactured by viciously
conducted primaries.

THERE has been great deal of talk
at Ocean and Eckhart about the "sig-
nificance of the election" in this coun-
ty, but about all there is in the whole
matter is-that the salaries, fees, per
4EistcS and honors will be hauled
home by republicans instead Of demo
Gratis. That was the game from the
beginning, and the weakest democratic
ticket ever pnt mp made it win.

one vital question than has ever before been
aroused, namely, the practical education for

forts, if such thing should become neces-
sary.

5. THAI u pomau may be independent and

Is. That as Il matter of honor she should
earn her own living and not take it from
another without rendering due value there

useful and impGFtqpt part of an education.
s. That no part thai is required to make a

part must be left out, il should not be the
practical part, but the more theoretical.
o. That systematic and scientific practical
education is actually necessary if the country
at large is to make the adYancements that the
civilization of the age demands and in no
place is this education more peedcd than in
the household.
