oFrICER rKIoE DID HIS DUTY.

There h a disposition on the part o
certain Elements in the community {,
condemn special officer Trice for kilIius
one OF the burglars whom he found in
MIR. UAcheul's residence, Thursda,
night. IL IS a terrible thing to take the
Life ola fellow being, even under the
most trying circumstances, and every
person ought to exert his influence to dc.
velop the nobler part of man to the end
that crime shall cease.
But It does not appear that those who
are loudest in condemning the act of
Trice have any humane or philosophical
compunctions against killing in general,
or even In particular cases, provided only
that this element be the executioners in
stead OF being the victims.
In The light of all the evidence tbus
far W hand, Trice not only does not de-
serve censure. but merits the warmpst
praise OF every lover Of order and se-
curity. The victim Of his fatal shot had
no right In that house under the circum-
stances in which no was detected there.
Every mans house is his castle. He is
I warranted In employing any means at
his command to protect it from the as
saults Of the despoiler. The house had
already been raided, in the absence of
the family, and when the discovery was
made, one acting authoritatively for the
family, established a sentinel in the
house TO protect the property therein. In
the execution OF his duty, it unfortun-
ately became necessary, so the sentinel
Judged, to jeopardize and even take tha
life Of one Of those found ~trespassinu.
IL was not necessary that the ofBcor
should proceed on the ground that the
burglar was unarmed or would surren-
dor at command. Indeed, the burglar
refused Or neglected to surrender, when
called upon TO do so, and instead pro-
ceeded I'd carry out his plan of plumber

THE NEED OF BALLOT REFORM.

THE NEED OF BALLOT REFORM
1t is significant of better times that In
SO many states efforts are being made tt
adopt some needed reform in the system
Of voting. The necessity for securing
honest elections, and for reducing to q
minimum fraud and dishonesty at the
polls, has become 30 apparent that pub
lie sentiment is demanding a change.
In most OF the states that are agitat-
Ing electoral reform, the Australian sys-
tenn with some notifications is the one
most in favor. 1t has been tried with
entire success in Australia, to some ex-
tent in England and Canada, and in one
or two American cities. In brief, it pro-
vdes that the state shall furnish the
tickets and the voter shall be permitted
to deposit his ballot in secret. In this
way there is a saving to the candidates
In election expenses, and bribery or in
timidation is almost impossible, for the
reason that bribers, or bulldozers will
have no opportunity to see whether their
work has been effectual or not. They
rhay buy a mans vote as they suppose,
but they have no means of knowing that
property was delivered.
There are great evils which have grown
up around the present system of voting
which would disappear under the Aus
system. That would need to be
modified in some respects to be adapted
circumstances, but there is no doubt
that its general features would prove of
great advantage in the direction Of puri-
Tying elections and securing honest re-
suits. Many states have adopted some
such system, at least for the purpose of
trial, and the discussion and considera-
ton of the subject cannot fail to be of
in those states whose legislatures
do not meet till next year.

About Blood Oranvas

1t was long thought that blood orange
were produced BY grating an orange tree
with a pomegranite slip but it is now said
that there is not the slightest foundation
for this belief. The blood orange, which is
merely a variety Of the sweet orange OBJ
tanned by cultivation. wat first raised by
the Spanish gardeners in the Philippine
Islands. When it was first seen in Europe
it created a sensation among the super
stitious, who saw all sorts OF disasters
by the bloody fruit. In the last
century blood orange trees brought exceed.
