ORGANIZE FOR BUSINESS.

The more progressive members OF the
Real Estate exchange realize that the
time has come for more active busi-
ness organization. They hold that rad
ical changes in the principles of the Or
ganization are essential to permanent
good. The conservative element, how
ever, are content to plod along in the
old rut and Micawber-like wait for
things to 'turn up"
The value of a vigorous organization
is conceded by all. But just what sys-
tenn to adopt puzzles the management.
Past experience demonstrates the
uselessness of the original plan.
10 meet for an hour each
day, list property and announce
sales is formality without practical
benefit or lasting results. An exchange
must be one in fact as well as in name.
To continue in former paths is waste
of time and energy.
Steps should therefore be taken to
place the organization on n business
basis This will require persistent work
and unfaltering confidence. Rome was
not built in day. Nor can a real live
exchange be put in operation in day,
week or month, 1t takes time and
effort, coupled with zeal and devotion.
In the lexicon of energy, intelligcnty
directed, there is no such word as fail,
and If the active members OF the Real
Estate exchange take firm hold of ad-
vanced projects and put their shoulders
to the wheel, they will not only achieve
success in a short time, but set an ex-
ample OF enterprise and boundless conf
dence that will reanimate other COM
mercial associations and put the Micaw-
bers to shame

Who Votes in London.

Londons new government rests upon
franchise so popular that practically
nobody who would care to vote is ex-
cluded, says the Century. In the first
place, all hOuseholders are enfranchised,
and this includes every man who rents u
place for his family, even if it be only a
small room in the garret or cellar Of q
tenement house. 1t also includes
those who live within fifteen miles
of the metropolis, but own or oc-
cupy metropolitan quarters, for
any purpose, worth a certain
very limited rental. Owners of free
hold property in London, no matter
where they live, if British subjects, are
entitled to vote. Widows and unmarried
women who are householders, occupers
or owners OF property are also author
lied to vote for county councillors.
The principal basis of the franchise is
the household; and the chief disqualii-
cations are receipt of public aims and
failure to pay rates that have fallen due.
Any resident of the metropolis or vicn.
ity who is entitled to vote is eligible to
election. Furthermore, any British
subject who owns land in London, or
who is possessed of limited amount of
property, no matter where he lives, may
be chosen councillor of the county of
London. The fact of residence in one
district does not disqualify, either in
law or in the popular Judgment, for cam
didacy in any other district

BALLOT REFORM.

The application of the new ballot
reform laws in New York and New j er-
sey at the late election appears from the
testimony of all sides to have worked
very satisfactorily. Both laws are a
modified form of the Australian system
and are essentially similar. The adop-
tion of the law in New York was accom-
plished after a struggle of several years,
and the final enactment was COM
promise, adopted by the republican legis-
lature to overcome the objections of
Governor Hill and the democrats gen.
orally. One of these objections was that
it's operation would be so slow as to de-
prive some people of an opportunity to
vote, but the objection most insisted
upon was that the Jaw would in effect
discriminate against the illiterate vot-
ers. Neither of these objections was
sustained by experience, there having
been no serious trouble with the work.
ing of the law in New York CITY, where
the mass of voters is greater and the
number of illiterate citizens larger than
anywhere in the country. A large vote
was polled there without any friction
or difficulty that interfered with any
one exercising the franchise, and strange
as it may appear, what little trouble
there was with the practical operation
of balloting occurred not in the ranks of
the ignorant, but among the educated
class. This is explained by the fact that
for some time before the election the
politicians instructed the uneducated
voters in evening classes all over the
more thiclSly settled portions of the
city.
There has thus been given another
very distinct verdict favorable to the
Australian system of ballot reform, mod
ified so as to meet the peculiar require
ments of our political system. The New
York and New Jersey laws do not COM
prehend as much of the Australian plan
as the Massachusetts law, and careful
comparison of the operation of the diff
ferent laws may be in favor of the latter,
but at any rate it is certain that the
former laws are great improvement
upon the system OF voting they super
seded, and the general opinion is that
they will stand, undergoing from time to
time such changes as experience shall
suggest to be necessary to render them
more effective in securing free and fair
ballot.
This added evidence in favor of ballot
reform will give fresh impulse to the
movement for its general adoption,
which is only matter of time. One by
one the arguments against it have been
overthrown by practical tests, until
there no longer remains anything of
force to be said in opposition. Wher-
ever tried the reform has given satisfac-
tion and received the approval of the
friends OF honest elections of all parties.

THE ADIRONDACK FORESTS.

Their Pcrmane mt Main tenance Nec
essary to the City of New York.
The state of New York has nearly IA
million acres Of mountain forest lands,
not in ono compact body but in scattered
tracts, separated by private holdings,
says the Century. In this situation tho
property of the state cannot be ade-
quately protected from spolation, nor
properly administered as source
of revenue. Those who have
given attention to the matter in this
state, therefore, favor disposing of out
lying tracts, by sale or exchange, and
the acquisition by the state of sufficient
additional territory to constitute large
state park, or foreign reservation, around
the sources of the Hudson river and the
other great waterways of the state
This plan was presented in n message
from the governor to the senate du ring
the last session of the legislature. and
by the concurrent action of both branches
OF that body was committed to the pres
ent forest commission for thorough in
vestigation, the finding to be reported
to the legislature at its next meeting
This is one of the most important
forestry enterprises ever undertaken in
this country. The business and COM
merclal prosperity OF the city of New
York depends in very large measure
upon the forest conditions around the
sources of the Hudson river, and the in
forests of large portions of the interior
of the state are also closely connected
with the destiny OF the north woods. No
part of the Adirondack mountain forest
region is adapted to cultivation. 1t is
naturally suited to the perpetual pro-
duction of timber, and to this crop
alone,
The five or six millions OF people who
will soon be dwellers in the great city
which is SO rapidly growing up on and
around Manhattan island will soon need
the whole Adirondack Wilderness for an
outlying park and forest play ground for
their summer rest and recreation. The
movements to preserve these mountain
forests, and to make the region public
possession, should have the cordial sup
port of all civilized anglers and hunts
men, of lumbermen and owners OF timber
lands, and of public spirited citizens in
general. At present large portions of
the region are being rapidly and ire
trievably ruined.

THE harmonious blending of the dis
cordant elements in the alliance and
democratic camps will require some re-
markably fine work. Assuming that
Burrows, Powers h Co. will contest the
election of James E. Boyd, the battle
begins at the threshold Of the organiza-
tiou of the legislature. On the face of
the returns the alliance has working
majority in both houses, but in this cal
culation the alliance is credited with
Legislators elected on combination tick
cts. In several districts the democrats
endorsed alliance candidates, and vice
versa. Tho republicans and the alli-
ance also united in number &C districts.
Will these men repudiate tbeir party
obligations? A serious attack on Boyd
means an Immediate rupture of the
demo-alliance engagement and a decla-
ration OF war, 1t is apparent, therefore,
that Burrows, Powers g. Co. must call
OFF their dogs II they desire to lie down
with the democratic lamb. Viewed in
any light, the prospect of harmony is de-
cidedly remote Meanwhile, republicans
will calmly onioy the spectacle of the
victors slaughtering each other.

DETERMINE THE PARTY polio

The republican party has suffered a
national defeat. 1t has thre Q months
more of absolute power in which to work
out its plans. Party interest and patri-
otto duty alike demand that its press and
it's leaders give immediate attention to
the matter of determining its present
and future policy.
The prevailing democratic opinion APP
pears to be that the republican party
has been crushed beyond resurrection.
1t is even possible that some enthusiastic
partisans think Grover Cleveland has
been elected president and that Benja-
min Harrison is about to resume the
practice Of the law in indianapolis. On
the other hand, every worthy republi-
can opinion that has found expression is
steadfast in the faith tha the great poll
icies of the party that has
ruled in this country for the
larger part of the time since 1861
will still be the choice of the people
when they render verdict on issues
purely national. Many strange ele-
ments entered into the election of No

result is due to universal distrust of re-
publican measures But it is fair to say
that republican leaders must find and
study the lessons of the returns, and
that they must Immediately determine
the policies on which they will appeal
to the country in 1892.
First of all, there is the tariff The
republican party Is the historic sup
porter and defender OF protection. It's
rank and file are firm in the belief that
the results OF the protective policy have
been beneicent and that the prosperity
of the country is to be found in the con-
tinuance of that policy. So far as the
Mckinley bill increases duties on goods
which can be manufactured here and are
net, so far as it retains the duty on goods
already made here to the end that the
difference between the cost OF cheap
labor in Europe and well-paid labor in
America may be made up, and SO far as
it reduces or entirely removes the duties
on goods that no longer need protection,
the Mckinley bill has the approval of
the republican masses and a majority of
the people OF this country.

victory is a verdict in favor of free trade.

A HOPEFUL VIEW OF FARMING

IL
Secretary Rusk reports that the
farmers OF the United States are in the
enjoyment of a growing prosperity, u
fact, it is to be feared, of which they
were not all previously aware.
In his annual review of our agricul-
tural interests he shows that the prices
of all staples are now higher than year
ago. He admits that this is due in part
to the difference in the size of the crops
for thetwo years, but expresses the opn-
ion that it is also due to recent tariff
legislation. He calls attention to the
increased duties on farm products and
demonstrates by actual figures that the
total amount of imports of this class have
been quite large. The secretary un-
doubtedly has good reason to congratu-
late the farmers on the effects Of the
new tariff law. 1t is plain that It's work
ings must be to their advantage so far as
it affects them at all. 1t will increase
the home market, help them to sus-
tain prices and keep out whatever
Canadian competition they have hereto
fore encountered. The increase of the
duties on linen will also encourage the
culture of flax by securing better mar
ket and better prices.
Secretary Rusk does not forget TO men
tion the sugar beet experiments in Ne
braska. He speaks enthusiastically of
the outlook for this industry. One in
teresting point in his report is the state
ment that the government has sent an
agent abroad to consider the possibili lity
of extending the market for Indian corn
in the interest of the western corn
growers. The report expresses satisfac-
tion with the present and future aspects
of farming conditions.
Jerry Rusk is an honest man and
doubtless bases his hopeful view of the
situation on reliable statistics. The fact
remains, however, that seventy thou
sand farmers in Nebraska, one hundred
and six thousand in Kansas and ffty-five
thousand in Minnesota have just drawn
out of Jerry Rusk's party and voted that
they are not prosperous. 1t is to be
hoped that the secretary's vision is
clearer than theirs.
