THE NEW BALLOT SYSTEM.

The first application Of the Australian
system of voting on large scale took
place in Massachusetts Tuesday and
seems to have fully met the expecta-
tions of its most sanguine friends. A
dispatch from Boston says;
'Today's experience has seemed to
prove beyond doubt the success of the
Australian system of voting and testi-
mony from all sections of the state is al
most unanimous in its praise. In the
city the voting places have presented a
remarkably quiet appearance and the
scenes therein have III many cases been
in marked contrast to those usually wit
messed. Voting has proceeded with dis
patch and voters have enjoyed the free
dom from the opportunities of ballot
distributors that they have never known
before. Very few cases are reported
where instructions as to the method of
voting We're necessary and practically
the only aid required was for those who
came under the law as by blindness, or
other physical disability, unable to mark
their ballots, while voters expressed
their pleasure at beng able to vote with
out the usual solicitation III the interest
of one candidate OF another. The ward
officers were also delighted at being able
to attend to this duty without being dis
turbed by the customary buster and
disturbances outside the rail. From all
over the state reports indicate very
quiet election and light vote. Although
the voting itself was conducted as expe-
ditiously as in former years the count
was not completed SO early and returns
came IN slowly.

The st. Louis Globe-Democrat charges
that the grain inspection board as made
up by the chief Jasper Burks, is ''a Dem
ocratic political machine intended to de-
feat the reelection of Senator Cockrell.
1t is claimed that the whole service has
been organized on strictly anti-Cockrell
basis. Burks will work the grain inspec.
ton political machine for all it is worth
in the interest of the combine alluded to-
and if 1t succeeds in its designs he will
be given fat BERTH" If this be true as
to Cockrell it would seem that even the
bourbons of Missouri want new deal;

THE EAGLE WAS THE ONLY PAPER.

| The Times hears something drop this
morning. Do you hear it, Colonel Muir
dock?-kansas City Times.
The editor of the EAGLE with all the
ability that he possessed, and with
all the earnestness which he could COM
mand, warned the Republican party of
| Kansas against such high-handed usur-
patton of municipal rights as the police
commission act, the Murray law, etc.,
etc., as being un-American, and as
charged with unjust powers and forces
which would prove distasteful to the
average free-born citizen, especially to
the John Brown type Of Kansan, and
IN the reaction OF which would be found
only trouble for the party that thus per-
mitted itself to be managed by an i'm
practicable. trong-headed, Insignificant
minority of itself. Prohibition, or tenn
perance of its extreme sense, to be sue
cessful, must be largely educational; its
forces moral. not penal: its triumphs
those of sentiment, and high convictions,
not the policeman's club, welded where
men have no conscious guilt, and by
which men are antagonized and not con-
WINGED.
The Times will remember that the
EAGLE was the only Republican paper in
Kansas that fought the methods of the
police commission idea, and the Murray
law way of Iegislating men into heaven.
1t stood alone-with Governor Martins
administration doing all that it could to
break down the EAGLES influence here
at home; and, it stood for the right, as
the Humphrey administration will find
out, if it is prolonged sufficiently.
Persistently have the prohibitionists
upon the one hand and papers of the
stripe of the Times upon the other, mis-
represented the EAGLE on this question.
We have no more use for the open saloon
than has the Republican party, and we
have far less use for the sneaking joint,
but none whatever for SYSTEM WHICH
ENCOURAGES THE DEFIERS OF THE LAW
AND THE OFFICERS OF THE LAW TO CON
SPIRE TOGETHER To DEFEAT THE LAW.

That great tidal wave that struck Iowa

thing after all. The result of the cleo

votes from that of two years ago when
Gov. Larabees plurality was but 10000.
Iowa is as reliably Republican in nation
