THE REV voTl4a System.

The vital principal. the chief merit
Of the Australian ballot system, is
secret voting. The great evil Of
American elections is corruption.
which flourishes only because the
voting is not secret.
No briber will pay for vote un-
less sure of getting it. and he cannot
be sure of this when there is no
means of watching the voter or
knowing how he votes.
No employer can successfully in
timidate employees who are protected
by secret ballot.
No voter can be deceived by a
fraudulent ticket when the ballot he
is to cast is official and officially de-
livered to him beyond the reach of
political runners.
That is the remedy provided by
the new system. There is but one
ballot, and that is official. 1t bears
the names of all the candidates. 1t
is given to the voter by an officer
inside the polling-place. The voter
then enters compartment by him
self. He makes cross opposite the
names for which he wishes to vote,
folds his ballot and puts it into the
box.
No mortal but himself knows how
he has voted. No one can find out
except from HIM. developed by
every safeguard of absolute secrecy,
he is free to vote according to the
dictates of his own conscience.
That is the new system in nut
shell. 1t is no longer a problem OF
an experiment. Its practicability
and success have been proved by ex'
perience in Massachusetts. Not even
the veto of Governor Hill can de-
feat its adoption in this State during
the coming session of the Legisla
ture, for public sentiment demands
it with voice that must be needed
Other States will take the same
step, SO that the time is not far dis
tant when the ''blocks Of five" bust
ness will be a thing of the past and
purity of elections an attained end

A Great Snow Blockade.

CuIcAGo, January 20.--'rhc snow
blockade in the West and North
west is one of the most complete on
record. Not only has travel become
impossible on the Western divisions
OF the Central and Northern Pacific,
but the telegraph companies arc
equal sufferers and every through
wire is down on both these routes.
The only means of tclcgraphic com
munication with the Pacific coast
now is The Indirect route Of the
Southern Pacific and the volume Of
business transacted is necessarily linn
tied.
Washington and Oregon are shut
oil from communication with the en-
tire world with The exception of one
little zigzag wire that still ticks
fcchly between San Francisco and
Portland. When this wire goes
down these two Northwestern States
will be further away from New York
than China, so far as tclcgraphic
communication is concerned, as the
trains are not running and tie snow
blockade renders it impossible for
the telegraph force to reach the
scene ot the break. The Western
Union rcpaircrs are showed up at
half a dozen places in the West and
there is little prospect OF renewed
communication until the railroads
shall have mastered the elements.
The snow blockade on the Cen
,ral Pacific Road is at Emigrant GAP
near the summit. Near Sicrras last
night eight West bound trains were
showed in and the prospect Of the
road being opened in the next rs
hours is poor, rs the snow plows can
not work through freezing ice and the
force Of shovclcrs is Inadequate.
There are 300 men at work but
the snow is seven feet deep on a level
anl inthom!css in cuts. The work Of
clearing the track while the snow falls
is Il tremendous labor.
On the Northern Pacific there is a
complete snow blockade at SissanS,
near Mt. Shasta, California. Fred
Crockcr, OF the Southern Pacific,
who was going North has been snow
ed in here for four days in his special
train, and hopes to get out tomorrow.
! The Southern Pacific road has been
badly injured in the Tchachaprc
Mountains by washouts and beyond
Los Angeles the floods have doro
much damage.

The only unobstruccd road now
is tho Atlantic IL Pacific, but as this
depends OH Southern Pacific connec-
tions between the Mojave Desert
and San Francisco and on the washed
out Southern Pacific line, between
Los Angeles and San Francisco,
travel on that may also be delayed
at any moment, asithas been aiming
heavily in Southern California for
days past while it is showing in the
North. Western Union adviccs
this moining are that snow is still
falling throughout the West so that
the prospect is by no means favora-
bic.
ST.. PAUL, January 20.-A heavy
storm, accompanied by gale, set in
about ten O'Clock last cYcning and a
regular blizzard is now raging
throughout the Northwest. AS yet
there has been no interruption of
railroad traffic or telegraphic COM
munication, but the storm is very
severe. Between five and six inches
OF snow have fallen on the level and
the prevailing high wind has drifted
it badly and especially in the South
western portion of the State.

The Worlds Record Broken.

The crops of corn actually grown
on one acre, in the ImcyicUn .Iuyi-
c"/t"ri$t prize crop competition iol
1889, will alone amply repay us for
all the great expense and labor in
volvcd in the enterprise. Its worth
ten thousand dollars to demonstrate
that such crops can be really pro
duccd on one acre. The award OF
the wheat prizes in this issue, as
promised, compcls us to put over
until the March number the wonder
fully interesting comparison Of the
corn crops and the aware! O! the
corn prizes in full. 1t is due c l.
readers, however, that the yield of
the three largest corn crops be no

prize OF $500 in gold will be awarded
to Iachariah Jordan Drake, of

The Cleansing Process for Barnwcll

The Bmnwcll PcopIc Joins in the
condemnation OF the recent horrid
crimes in Barnwcll County, says the
Grccnvilc Nc,r$, but with its accus-
toned clo1ucncc, ability and force,
attacks the press of the country and
State for It's dcnunciation Of the
people OF Barnwcll. Probably
twenty men, in the county, the pco-
Pie says, are responsible for the
crime; yet the entire twenty thou
sand people OF the county are held
responsible for it, We think that is
a ust and natural result nf the con
ditions.
]! we remember correctly, when
Captain Dawson was murdered in
Charleston by one man and his nun.
dcrcr was acquitted by twelve men
the PeopIo was one OF the foremost
and most eloquent in arraigning the
city and calling upon it to cleanse
itself of the stain. Our recollection

Big Prizes.

The Imcrjcow Iyricult,ui$t of
New York offered $4,000 in prizes
last year for the best crops of various
kinds. There were four grand
prizes of 5000 each in gold, for the
largest yields of potatoes, wheat,
oats, and corn Hundreds competed
for these prizes and the results are
very remarkable.
The following received the grand
prizes OF $500 in gold:
Charles b. Coy, Aroostoak, Maine,
for a yield Of 1889 bushels Of pota-
toes on fraction under one acre.
X. w. Strickland, of Albion, n.
y, obtained the prize on oats,
having raised 13l8 bushels to the
acre.
Mr.. H. j. Drake of Marlboro county,
$. G., is the lucky man on corn, his
yield being 25l bushels to the acre
