Ballot reform is having a hard fight
in New York state, but the honest vote
will win in the end. Thus far. Gov
ernor Hill has been the obstacle In the
way of reform movement I'm this re
spect. The governor is a Democrat,
but he is not a good Democrat and he
will live to learn that he cannot array
himself successfully for any length of
time against the change in methods
that is sweeping the country and which
appears TO be received with great favor
wherever IL is fairly put to test.

From Haripr's Magazine.
Two Harvard students, making q pc
dcstrian tour through the Scottish High
lands, were in the habit of stopping ut
small farm-houses and asking for milk,
the charge for which invariably was a
penny a glass. Calling one Sunday at a
Misunderstanding cottage in beautiful
Glen Nevis they were sourly received by
the ~cotter's wife, and. though the milk
was supplied, the proirercd twopence was
refused with a solemn admonition as To
the im%propriety of such doings on such a
day. The collegians were turning away
with a courteous word of thanks, when
the woman made her meaning clear.
"Na, ma" she cried; I'm no TAX less than
saxpcncc for br'akin' the Sawbath!"

Jay Gould has returnee from the land OF
the Aztecs in a very pleasant frame OF

From the seattle Press.
The reputation of the dead statesman
has always been good. He was never i'm.

and better fitted for guidance han those
who prevailed against him.

RIo JANrmo. April s.-The provisional

popular measures 50 long demanded by the
people, such AS the abolition of slavery
forced from imperial government in 1883,
separation Of the church from the state,
freedom of the press. liberty of worship,
secularization Of public cemeteries,
naturnlization'of foreigners. etc. is now
trying TO avoid tho danger and inconyen-
icncc that attended the adoption of tho
American constitution. The men now at
the head of affairs desire 10 begin where
the United States finished, and 30 take adj
vantage of American experience. For this
reason they have nominated number of
we'll known specialists TO frame n constitu-

tional assembly. The work of registering

pie we're rcbuking the election methods of
