Ballot Reform.

There has been, since the late elec-
ton, a renewal Of interest in the
question Of reform in the methods Of
voting, SO as to prevent, If possible.
the gross abuses now openly and dis
gracefully practiced. The central
purpose in all Of the proposed amend
ments is, Of course, to make the bal
lot absolutely secret, SO that the cor
ruptionist could not tell whether his
purchased tool would carry ont the
contract of sale or not, and unable to
trust the word Of 4 purchasable crea-
ture, void Of honor and honesty, he
would therefore be unwilling to buy.
Such a consunation is, Of course,
very desirable, but even if accoinp-
lished it would be far from reaching
the seat of the evil. Laws might pre-
vent bribery Of voters, but there is
something far more desirable, and
that il, voters that cannot be bribed.
We would be far from the goal Of
good government, even were bribery
at elections rendered impossible. The
man who does not steal simply be-
cause u policeman is watching him is
not an honest man. The man who
does not sell his vote and take the
boodlers' coin because he has not the
opportunity is not a good voter. Such
voters will never carry out reform or
carry ON u good government. Re-
forming the method Of balloting
would, in fact, be abolish:ng the sys-
tenn suitable for honest and unper-
chasable voters and substituting one
adopted for depraved, degraded and
purchasable ones. 1t is q sad confess
sion, that such change is necessary
in the foremost republic of the world
on the eve of tile Twentieth century;
still more sad that it is not merely
necessary, but imperative. But why
this degradation Of man to chattel
commodity. 1t is because the inevi-
table tendencies and teachings of
present systems inculcate every day
the practical lesson, that wealth and
power are more desirable than honor
and honesty; property more valuable
than person; the rights Of property
more sacred than the rights of per-
sons, and money superior to man
hood. This lesson is leaving its i'm
press upon mems minds, and like al
depreciating commodities, they are
ON the market for sale. Money con
stantly approaching is assuming grea,
er Importance in public affairs, and
while degraded poverty has votes fol-
sale malnmon will be practically ON
nipotent. Not mere reform in voting
then, but reformed voters that are
needed. Can such reformation be
effected. Can the masses be made
independent, self-respecting and I'm
purchasable yotersy 1t must be done
or the Republic dies.-lSouth West.

Wheat was booming yesterday. First
result of the certainty of Democratic
victory in Ohio.-Cincinnati Enquirer Of
June 9th.
To the average mortal this conclusion
would seem a trihe far fetched, but
Democratic philosophers are so con.
stantly laboring under delusion or a
disappointment that it would be almost
a cruelty to let them have no Joy before
the election. They will have sorrow
enough after it is over.
Astronomers tell us that there is a
new comet vending its way toward the
earth, also that the largest spot which
has been seen for years is now visible
on the suns face. Wonder ii these
things have anything to do with the
Democrotic victory that is to be this
fall? Does the Enquirer know?

Knight. of the Golden Eagle.

The thirteenth annual session OF the
Grand Castle of Pennsylvania, Knights Of
the Golden Eagle, was commenced Tues
day morning, IN Shakespeare Hall, Harris
burg. Grand Chief Louis E. Stilz presided.
The other officers present were:
Past Grand Chief-Chas H. Huston, Phila.
Grand v, CA. c. LYttle, Altoona.

Grand NJ. of RI. D. Barnes, Phila.

ling, of Philadelphia, and VIM. A. weigel,
Roy ersford.
There was very large attendance of Sir
Knights, Representatives being present
from the 300 Castles in the State.
The parade of the Knights announced
for Tuesday afternoon was spoiled by the
torrents of rain that fell and the deep mud
which had collected in the street. Com
manderies and castles from Dauphin, Phila-
delphia, Steeton, York, Harrisbu rg,
Middletown, Falmouth, Mechanicsburg,
Williamstown, Reading, lebanon and
other places were there to the number of
at least 2500, but, just as they had been
formed into line with the grand officers at
the right of the line, marshaled by Ex-
Grand Chief Stiltz, the rain began to pour,
drenching the banners and handsome uni
forms. Under the circumstances the CHIEF
marshal led the parade around couple OF
blocks and a countermarch on Market
street, where he reviewed the organization
and dismissed them. Rain continued for
oyer an hour and dispelled any hope of re-
organizing The procession. There were al
least 10000 people in lire, and the decora.
tians throughout the city were the finest
seen there for years.
