by the alliance he would have passed muster.

Any man that could have been
named by the farmers would have been

Of Mr.. Maxon was ignored because he

BY request we re-publish the fol-
lowing brief description ofthe election
reforms proposed in our platform for
the information of new subscribers.
Q) The Crawford county system Of
primaries takes It's name from Craw-
ford county in the state Of Pennsylva-
MIA where it is said to have originated.
Under it the several parties each hold
primary election where, instead Of
electing delegates 10 a convention to
place candidates for Office in nOmina-
ton, the people composing the party,
vote directly for the candidates who
haYe been previously announced and
those receiving the highest number Of
votes for the several Offices become the
nominees Of the party at the general
election. The system places the nom
mating power entirely in the hands Of
the people, and obviates the corrupt
methods Of bargain and sale that too
frequently obtain in delegate conven-
tions TITS open to serious objections,
however, under some circumstances,
which we shall discuss at a future
time, and which may be remedied by
slight notifications.
(2) In brief, the Australian system
Of voting is simply provision for an
absolutely secret ballot The tickets
are furnishedby the state, are uniform
in size, shape and appearance and are
given to voters, only by the election
board. Each voter, when he is ready
to vote receives ballot from the
board with the names of all Of the
candidates Of all parties printed upon
it, when he retires alone to secret
apartment provided at the election
precinct for the purpose, and marks a
cross opposite the names of the candi-
dates for whom he wishes to vote, af-
ter which he deposits his ballot in the
usual manner.
The details Of the method have
been slightly varied by different states
that have adopted the system; but the
provision for secresy in the prepOra-
ton of the ballot is preserved, and
has been found successful in sup
pressing fraud, and securing strictly
honest elections.

To Republican Editors.

Representative Belden, of New York,
Chairman of the Republican Congress
sional Committee. has issued the follow
ing address to the Republican editors OF
the country:
The Republican party, in its several
national platforms. has pledged to the
country that as one of its fundamental
planks it would see TO the execution of
that provision of the Constitution which
guarantees TO every lawful voter in Fed
eral elections his right to deposit his
bal OF and have it counted for the candi-
date of his choice. That pledge, based
on justice involves merely the exerc SO
of an unquestionable constitutional right
of every American citizen. Nevertheless,
the gravest election abuses in a large
section OF our country have deprived vast
masses of their lawful franchise, have by
fraudulent agencies imposed an unlawful
representation in the National House of
Represe natives, and have thus practi-
cally subverted the Con stitution in some
of its most important and valuable provi-
sions. The strict enforcement of this
inalienable right is demanded as a solemn
duty.
No question of negro supremacy, no
usurpation OF Federal power is involved
in the issue. The national election bill
which recently passed the House deals
only with national elections; it does not
meddle directly or ind rectly with State
officers. or State organizations. The
States are very properly left TO work out
their own destiny through their own
agencies. Why, then should the bill not
become law As declared by the Hon.
William Mckinley in his recent speech
in the House, the passage of the Federal
election bill is the supreme duty of the
H. .NN A.
reasonably evaded. The House, faithful
and active in the fulhllment of party
pledges. Jealous in the performance of a
great public trust, and, undaunted by
the diabolical threats and assau. Is of the
Democratic party, has promptly per-
formed its duty by the passage of the
bill. Now il only rem0ins for the Re-
publican majority in the Senate to emu
late the House and permit the Pre- sident,
by his signature. to ratify and register the
will of the nation. Will the Senate
promptly erform this imperative duty?
The committee Is in possession of
information showing a concentrated eff
fort on the part of the Democratic party
to change the trend of public thought by
poisoning the minds of he people, to the
end that sentiment may tie manufact-
ured that would deter Congress from
passing q national election law at this
session. 1t is believed that favorable
expression Of opinion at this iuncture
from the Republican press all along the
line would be as forS,ble as timely, and
would exert n wholesome influence and
inspire Legislators TO the carrying out OF
the party's pledge. The House has per-
formed It's part of the work to which the
party was pledged. Will YOU not do your
duty N urging that the Senate shall re-
n l.. Al Al
measure, which the House deems essen
tial, absolutely essential, TO the purity of
the elections of its own members2

THE EFFECTS OF PROTECTION.
John p Jones, of Nevada, in the United States
Senate1

John p Jones, of Nevada in the United States
Senate.
Mr.. President, so far as tariff has tho
effect of reducing prices IN any country,
it is not by reason of the levying Of any
certain percentage of duty on the import-
ed goods. The first effect of the tariff
certainly always must be to raise prices.
The fundamental theory of the tariff Is
that by that tariff you place the price Of
manufactured goods up TO range at
which they can be produced in the coun-
try in which the tariff is levied, and upon
the level of the range of wages and N m
ner of living which obtain in that coun-
try. BY so doing, if you have proper
volume of money. you set all your people
at work, and keep them at work at va
riety of occupations. In such case, every
forge, furnace and factory becomes n
school, every machine shop an academy,
and every cunning device and invention
becomes a lesson, teaching the people
how 10 deal with the subtle forces of the
universe. So Tar as this country is con-
cerned, the theory of the tariff is that
65, 000, 900 people should have varied
and complete system of manufactures,
which should supply practically all their
own wants instead of an abnormal pro-
portion of them being driven into the sin
gle occupation of farming and relying up
on foreign manufactures 10 supply such
finished products as they need. To
draw out md de, elop the aptitudes of n
people large variety of occupations is
indispensable. When all men are en-
ployed at their aptitudes new inventions
multiply, progress is accelerated, and the
secrets of nature are more rapidly un-
folded Hence the Mccormick reaper;
hence the sewing machine, the great
instrument which. clothes the world, be-
cause of the discovery that the eye OF the
needle should be at the point; hence the
air brake, the telegraph, the electric
light, and thousands of other inventions
that protected people originate and de-
velop, which would perhaps not have
been originated or might have been long
DELAYED if it had not been for the dis
couragement of imports caused by the
tariff, and the encouragement Of our peo-
Pile TO go into manufactures by which
their varied talents are drawn out and
cultivated.
There is no doubt that eventually, as
our conditions improve, increasing num-
bers of our people will by degrees emerge
from agricultural and enter manufactur-
Ing pursuits. a tariff, by stimulating
the organization and development OF in
dustries. trains men to greater skis and
perfection of workmanship in variety
of departments, and with greater skill
comes gre ter eff cheney of labor, and so
greater economy of time. In that way
the prices of certain products are in time
reduced but that is not reduction of
which anyone cOmplains

BATTLE IN SALVADOR.
THE CAUTEMALANS DEFEATED
WITH HEAVY LOSS.

An Army of Nine Thousand Invades SAL
vador and Is BepuIsod by Gen. Ezeta's
Forces-Pr csident Barillas OF Guatemala
Threatens To Resign.
City Of Mexico special: The long
threatened war has broken out between
Guatemala and Salvador, according TO
official advices received by tho con-
fidential agent OF the provisional gov
eminent OF San Salvador. Senior Geroni-
mo Pou, who arrived here last night
from San Salvador IL began without
the usual formalities OF war, and for his
country Senior Pou claimed first victory.
Senior Pou exhibited the following tele-
gram from Gen. Ezeta:
July l0.-The enemy, 5000 strong,
yesterday invaded San Salvador, but
our forces brayelv repulsed them, caus-
ing their complete rout. Many pieces
OF artillery. large quantities OF ammuni-
tiOn, and hundreds of stacks OF arms
were captured by us. | have given
orders to advance into Guatemala"
Senior Pou says the Salvador army is
armed with Remington rifles. machine
guns, and mountain batteries, and is
generally well equipped with plenty OF
money. The Salvadorian forces are in
ferior in number TO those of Guatemala.
but Senior Pou says he has received ad-
vices that disaffection has occurred in
the army OF Guatemala, and TWO battal-
ions have refused to proceed to the
frontier, which, he thinks, will have
the effect OF equalizing matters Gen.
Ezeta is commanding the movements Of
the Salvador forces.
Minister Dleguez of Guatemala says
that the only dispatches received are
from points in San Salvador where il is
known that the press censorship is in
force. 'Our forces arc well armed
with Remington rifles, Calling guns,
and mounted batteries. and il
San Salvador has IL, 900 men I'm
the field. we have nearly double
that number. While it is true we have
no big fund in tie treasury, everybody
i'm the country will come TO the front
with money in case there is war" 1t is
the general opinion here that in case
there is war between Guatemala and
San Salvador, the first named country
will be victorious, because of its supe-
rior forces.

BUSY PENSION AGENTS.
They Are Crowding tho Mails with Tn cir
Advertisements.

Washington dispatch: The pension
legislation at this session Of Congress
has stimulated the pension attorneys to
great activity, causing an increase of 80
per cent in the receipts OF the Washing
ton postoffice for the quarter ending
June 30, and the officials say there will
also be great increase for the month
OF July. The abnormal increase
is due almost entirely to the pat
ronage of the pension agents, who
have been buying as high as as s., 600
worth of stamps at time Some OF
them bought one cent stamps for use to
incose unsealed circulars, but the smart
ones used the sealed envelopes to send
their circulars, knowing with the press
OF business at the Office the first-class
matter would receive attention first In
addition to the circulars, sealed and UNI
sealed, one firm sent out million copies
OF a newspaper in which their business
Is advertised.

RAN INTO AN ICEBERG.
The steamship Hibernian Has Start
ling Adventure.

Philadelphia pa telegram: Tho
Allan steamer IIibernian arrived here
yesterday from Glasgow after a trip of
ten days, during which she had mar
row escape from being dashed to pieces
on the side of a huge iceberg.
The vessel ran into a fog and the
speed was reduced 10 five knots an
hour. But for this the vessel would
surely have been lost. The berg was
sighted just before o'clock in the
evening, and at a distance of about fifty
yards. The engines were reversed, and
the man at the wheel had succeeded in
slightly changing the course of the ves-
sci so that the berg was struck at a
stand. The iron plates grated along the
side OF the huge pile, and the vessel ca
reened until her sails touched the water.
There was great excitement among the
fifty passengers on board. One passenger.
a woman, was thrown from bunk and
slightly injured. The berg appeared
TO be about fifty feet above water, and
was very long. After the collision the
Hibernian remained hove to till the
next day, all the while being enveloped
in thick fog. During this time the
passengers suffered intensely from cold.
They paid many visits to the engine
room, which was the only warm place
on the ship

The Supreme Court ON National Election
Law.

So much has been said in Congress
about the alleged illegality or unconsti-
nationality of the Lodge Rowell election
bill that many persons have been led to
suppose the question a doubtful one,
whereas the entire matter has been pass
ed upon by the Federal Supreme Court
and the right of the Federal Government
20 supervise and control the election of
Congressman is established fully. In
1884 in the Marlborough case the court
said
Can il be doubted that Congress can
BY law protect the act of voting, the
place where II is done, and the man who
Fotes from personal violence or intimida-
lion, and the election itself from corrup-
on and fraud? These questions answer
themselves, and 1t Is only because the
congress OF the United States, through
long habit and long years of forbearance,
las, in Difference and respect to the
ltates, refrained from the exercise Of
these powers that they are now doubted. ="
Hence there Is not the slightest doubt

away with by Canadians at other points
along the boundary line. An effort is
to be made to secure this in the name
OF the government, and as soon as the

and branded with the government
stamps, which the agents take with
them, they will be held at all hazards

The Jute and Irvine Trust.

A company has been organized Tn Des Moines under the name of 1.-The Alliance Irvine Company, for the purpose of manufacturing and es- tablishing factories to manufacture Cotton Bagging and Binder Iwlnc from marsh grass.
 It is almost impossible for those who have not seen it to realize what an exceedingly strong, smooth and soft bagging is made from this hith- erto worthless material. It Is in every way superior to jute, and the means for manufacturing it are so simple and inexpensive that compe- tition in price is altogether oat of the question.
 The grass requires no special hand ling before being spun, except to keep the ends straight so that 1t will feed more smoothly. The treatment afterwards for removing the color and keeing it soft is the only Item of any moment. and even that is onl Y a fraction of the cost of retching and decorticating any of the tibers. A ton of grass turns out a ton of bag ging, while ton of straw or stalks only yields small per cent. of fiber.
 There are thousands of acres of this marsh or slough land in most States in the Union, and although there are numberless uses besides bagging. binder twine and rope to which this will yet be put, it is not likely that the demand will ever draw close enough on the supply to make the crude material of any particular value.
 The officers of the State Alliances ought to give this matter thelr imme- diate attention and satisfy them selves whether this bagging IS all the projectors claim for it. They can do this by writing for samples, or better, by visiting Des Moines and seeing for themselves.
 Ex-Governor Cue is President oi the new organization, and if he k a> successful in this as he was some years ago in his crusade against tn, barbcd wire monopoly, the jute and twine trusts will have good reason to wish him farther away, and the farming community throughout the country to wish there were more mcr like him.
