Method of Conducting Elections.

In your Weekly Of the oath instant there
is q Communication detailing the working
of the Australian system OF voting in the
city of Memphis, from which it is very evi-
dent that that system is not suited to
the state of things which exists among
Us. In the first place, IL is too cumber-
some and too slow where the voters
consist largely OF the ignorant classes.
Secondly, it Will not prevent bribery and
improper use of money. But 1t is very de-
sirable that something should be done to
make our elections freepnd fair. The use
that is made of money nowadays for bri-
berry and corruption. and the intimidation
that is practiced are alarming to all true
patriots. / would suggest that IN order to
make our elections secret that they be held
in q room with the windows curtained so
that no one on the outside could see in.
and q doorkeeper be stationed at the door
with orders to admit only one voter at q
time. That the voters be required to de-
post their ballots Immediately on entering
and TO retire from the room at once. Any
person refusing 10 leave the room when re-
auested to do so by one OF the judges to be
subject to O small fine. / think this plan
would secure secret ballot and prevent
intimidation and corruption. The politi-
cal parties would hardly risk their money
to buy votes unless the voter could be-
watched. The only way in which 1t could
be used would be in keeping the voter
from the polls. j. s.

The Washington Post, whose editor was

talks to the revolntionists in the House OF
Representatives as follows:
"There il ono way out of the disgraceful
tangle In which the House Of Representa-
tiyes found itself yesterday, and that is for
the committee charged with formulating
the rules for the government Of that body
to make prompt report. Rules are what
Ia needcd--rules that give to the majority
every right il is entitled TO, and rules that
protect 10 the fullest extent the rights OF
the minority.
Until this is done there Is little show
for the harmonious and effective prosecu-
ton of public business. Precedents TO APP
ply to the House of Representatives should
be found inside aud not outside OF that
body. The Committee on Rules may have
good reasons to give for its long delay IN
reporting. II IL has. the sooner they are
made public the better. -,

and frantic antics of craftsmanship. The
people know what is, and they VIII Dc
satisfied with nothing short of what IS

The sooner this is done the more credita-
bio IL will be TO the country.

REED the usurper. the national boss. the
destroyer Of the Constitution. is excoriated
by the New York Times as follows;
Finding that they were unable to COM
mand majority. and too eager for the
spoils to wait until they should be able to
got their members together. they under
took yesterday by falsification of the re-
cords Of the House and in defiance OF the
precedeuts established by the ablest and
most devoted Republican Speakers. iD-
Guiding Mr.. Blaine, TO declare a quorum
when none was present and voting. For
this purpose plan was devised and exc
cuted by MIR. r. b. Reed, the Speaker, who
has thus made for himself reputation for
high-handed and arbitrary action that was
never equalled in the days whom the agent
Of the slave power sat in the. Speakers
chair. The process was as simple as 1T was
outrageous. The Democrats refusing to
vote, Mr.. Reed directed their names to be
called and repeated, and then by his per-
sonal assertion that they were present un-
dcrtook to constitute a record OF quo
rum"
The Times advocated the election OF
REED as Speaker.

The Republican position is that it Is
within the power of the majority to deter
mine in what manner the presence of q
quorum is TO DO certifed.-Neo York lrl-
Utae.
No, sir. You can't sneak out Of your
wrong-doing in that way. You had present
only I61 members out of $50. You were
the minority. The Democrats and abb
sentees numbered 1863. 1t is the minority
that you are upholding. AS your neighbor
of the Times well says. the Speaker has
no power except that given by the rules,
or by the practice undisputed of the
House. The rules do not confer this
power, and the practice of the House for a
century is against 1t. Its assumption by
Mr.. REED is therefore q base usurpstion."
Yes. "base usurpation." REED IS fit
leader Of the rascally Republicans.
In word. REED is a rascal himself.

COMMISSIONER OF AGRIcULTuRE.

The bill relating to the election Of the
Commissioner of Agriculture engaged the
attention of the Senate for nearly an half
hour, and the subject is not vet finally
disposed of. The question required on the
adoption Of the amendment proposed by
the House 10 the amendment of the Sen
ate TO the bill which originated in the
House, striking out all Of the Senate's
amendment except that the Commissioner
shall be a practical farmer.
Mr.. Harrison made an unsuccessful mo-
ton to have the bill passed 10y until Mon
day, and after some little discussion the
House amendment was rejected by tho
vote Of 81 to IL. Mr.. Harrison informed
the House of the action OF the Senate.
