Ballot Reform Complications.

On our first page win be found to-
day a clause of the Ballot Reform law
which, we believe will go far towards
obviating those frauds in the registra-
tion which good citizens apprehend.
There can be no doubt but the house
take. It makes it possible for dis
honest election officers to pad the lists
with any number of fraudulentnames
on which the old gang of colonizers
and repeaters can vote. The New
York system of compulsory personal
registration at the polling places is in
finitely preferable. The plea that it
might disfranchise voters is ridiculous.
If they do not think enough of the
franchise to go out and register, let
them forfeit the privilege by all means.
Still if anti-Ring citizens do their
duty, and especially the Republican
and J~effersonian workers, this posting
of the lists may be made the means of
preventing serious fraud. The lists
will show on their face to persons
having good local knowledge whether
they are cooked or not. If they are,
a simple application to Judge Knapp
will secure a speedy revision and the
condign punishment Of the scoundrels
who falsify them.
We have repeatedly said that all
that is good In this Ballot Reform law
is buried under a heap of worse than
useless rubbish. Every day that the
attempt to operate it is in progress,
the truth of this criticism becomes
more and more apparent. Our hopes
for its beneficial operation this year
are founded rather on its strangeness
and the vague terrors it holds out
than on any idea that it is really eff
cient. It is true it contains many
good provisions; but its complexities
constantly open new for
fraud as soon as the heelers get accus-
toned to them.
One of the most curious questions
we have heard raised is as to whether

Becoming Wall Paper.
Women frequently choose the wall
paper for their sitting rooms to go with
their compilations. I have been told, says
an English writer. A good idea. Some
papers, yellowish green for example ,
throw sickly hues over a room. These
papers are, of course, destructive to the
complexion. Women who are in the
habit of consulting their appearance in
the glass know very well that they look
much nicer in some rooms han in Others.

wall decoration. told me that lady visitors
were often puzzled to know why they
always looked their best in his drawing

improvement OF the walls. isaw a sue

color and also more trying. Pale greens
are expected to be in demand shortly.
