St. Joseph Hera.d:-Thc death Of
Lady Roseberry deprives the Jewish
community in Europe OF a benciactress
who bestowed not only her wealth buI
her friendship upon all the members OF
the race who came within the circle OF
her knowledge. But Jews were not
the only recipients OF kindness from
the hands of Rothschild's benevolent
and gracious daughter. There i.
scarcely a charity in London that is
not indebted for some favor to this
estimable woman, and II is well known
that Lord Roseberry's interest in
social reform has been all along largely
stimulated by the suggestions OF hi
wife.

St. Joseph Ballot.-We are expect.
ing daily to hear bowls and protests
against the Australian election system
from the republican newspapers
Considering how zealously they hd-
vocated the measure, and how thorough
Iy they committed themselves to it,they
must first find some flaw before they
can openly demounce it. They imagined
that the ignorant were all Oh the dem
ocratic side, and that rather than
acknowledge that they could not reaC
and write, they would stay away from
the polls. There were ten republicans Il
one democrat who 'husked Corn" OF
election day. The first general trial o
the Australian system resulted in
democratic victory, and tho SECOND
will be still more overwhelming. Ii il
therefore in order for the republican,
to suggest some other measure in il
place. The democrats praise and III
| dorse it all over the country.
ST. Joseph Gazette: The republican
| papers. each for the locality in which j
libors, and all for the country at large
are still busy explaining the cause c
the late democratic cyclone. The Bos
ton Journal, speaking for Massachusetts,
accounts Tor the democratic victory il
that state on novel grounds. Th'
Journal says that "the westward drii
of the original Yankees and the incum
| ing of foreigners has had more to d,
than u other single fact with the ris'
of the bay state democracy" Have
'.the original Yankees drifled to In
diana, where the democrats havI
elected their state ticket and II out OF |,
| representatives,, or to Michigan, where
| the democrats have elected their stat
ticket and s II of IL representatives
or to Wisconsin, where the democrat
have elected their state ticket and s GU
of . representatives. or to Illinois
where the democrats have elected theiI
state ticket and IA out of 20 representa-
| tives, or to Nebraska, where the demo
Gratis have elected their governor ant
all three representatives. or to low
and Minnesota, where the democrat
nearly elected their state ticket ant
chose 10 out of 16 representatives?
st. Joseph Ballot:-The work q
selecting two members of tn
supreme court. under the author
ity given by the recently adopted con
stitutiOnal amendment, had bee
virtually performed before Goy.Franci
took up the case. The list from whic
to choose was a pretty large one, an
