WASHINGTON. Jan. 7.-Among the bills
presented and referred i'm the senate to-
day was ny Faulkner tn provide for

Ii was undeniablc that the aversion bo
tween the two races had greatly Increased
increase so long as a large portion of the
population was of the African race. Ex-
pericnce would not permit the statement
that a feeling of aversion existed only i'm
the south. II was not so intense in the
south as il was in the north. 1t was not
so strong between the negro and his
| former master as ii was between the
| negro aud those who never owned
| slaves. The separation of the races was
| the only thing that would cNtinguish race
aversions. In Africa the negro could
grow up to- the full measure of his destiny.

CONDEMNS THE SYSTEM.


Australian Election Methods
ALBANY. Jan. 1.-Governor Hill in his
annual message to the Legislature de-
siro,is of some changes i'm laws relating
to elections. He reviews the present elec-
ton laws and says: .Hct, i'm spite at
these excellent provisions, our laws tio
not reach the two great evils which attend
our ctions-intimi,l;,ton and corr,ip-
ton. These flourish unchecked, bringing
shame upon our state. rendering our elcs-
tions u mockery and threatening even the
integrity and existence of our political in
stitutions. IL is, indeed. n sad allegation
which is made and not denied. that is in
some parts of our state at the recent pres
idential election. corruption was so unrc-
strained that the scenes at the polls re-
election, and that in many other
places intimidation was so prcva-
lent and undisguised. particularly at some
of our manufacturing centers that en-
ployes were virtually driven to the polls
and actually instructed 10y employers as to
what tickets they should vote"
The governor reviews the Australian
il. hut As II whole. condemns IL. He re-
commensis the passage of law which
will provide for secret compartments for
voters aud claims This provision alone
would do much Ia prevent corruption aud
would secure the chief benefits Of the
electoral reform.
The governor objects la an exclusively
official ballot. and says that the provision
which requires the voter to vote toy plac-
ing "A mark Opposite the name of his eau
diolatc is unconstitutional. bccIuS" IL
makes am educational qualification that
the voter shall Inc able Ia read, otherwise
ne can't know where tn place the mark.
