THEY ARE FOR REFORM.

1t has been a favOrite theory with Re-
publicanS that Democrats must oppose
the ballot reform. as they had about all
the llliteracy of the country, and conse-
quently would suffer more from any
method that required intelligence in the
voter. This cOmplacent theory has been
difficult to maintain in face of the al
most uniform support of the Australian
system by Democrats. The Democrats
who antagOniZe the reform ara so rare
as to attract uncomfortable attention.
Without considering the relative stand
Ing of the parties for integrity and sin
cerity, it is noted that the Democrats
are taking adverse positions, generally
in the direction OF publication and
freedom of the elective franchise from
demoralizing influences. They pro-
pose in the senate to graft upon the
Sherman national election law the
ballot requirements that have given
such intense satisfaction in Mas
sachusetts. Senator BUTLER thinks
that what meets the high moral and
political sense in Massachusetts is good
enough for South Carolinas. If this
would discourage some of the colored
voters in the South, it is also Insisted
that there are white voters there who
would be embarrassed. The South
Carolina senator would go further, and
add some of the provisions of the cleo
ton laws of England that have had such
q salutary effect. In New York, too, in
addition to the essential features of the
Australian system, it is proposed to add
to the election laws stringent provisions
against the practices that are believed
to be demoralizing the elective system.
The chief points covered are to pre-
vent bribery and all other lille

STABBED In THE BACK.
A Drayman Fatally Carved by an
Engineer.

John Young, drayman, was stabbed
between the shoulders (and it may be
fatally injured) at o'clock this morn
ing, his assailant being man named
VIM. Igo. The trouble occurred Oh Rice
street, near Summit avenue. The
causes which led to the attack cannot
be learned owing to the refusal of Tgo,
who is under arrest at the Rondo
street station. to divulge the animus
of the stabbing. Young is brother
of Patrolman Matt Young, of the Rondo
district, and is drayman. Young
walked some distance after receiving
the injury, when he fell from
loss of blood, and was con-
veyed in the Rondo street patrol
wagon to his residence at $50 Rice
street. Igoe utterly refused to say any
thing about the affair when arrested.
Medical aid was summoned, and
the injured man was made as
as comfortable as the serious nature of
his injuries would permit. The physi-
clans attending the case state that
the injuries, though dangerous, are
not necessarily of a fatal char
acter. Igoe is said to have been under
the influence Of liquor when arrested.
Young is brother-in-law of William
Bircher, town clerk of South st. Paul,
and is highly spoken of by those vino
know him.

fine what are legitimate expenses, and
any beyond these will require eXpIana-
ton. The provisions of this char
acter in the law regulating the
election of members of parlia-
ment are said to work well and
greatly reduce the outlay TO the candi-
dates. With the secret ballot. and the
removal of money as corrupting fac
tor in the ba liot, there appears no
reason why elections should not be as
honest as is the average voter. It is not
the view of high citizenship that the
fortunes of any political party should
be considered in such matter; but as
an extraneous and impertinent sug-
gestion, it is apparent that the Demo
Gratis have most to gain by m aking the
ballot free from improper constraints
or influences Of any character. The
great corporations and subsidized in
terestS generally are the chief sources
OF illegitimate supplies to pervert the
popular sense. The parties who raise
S400,00o, or operate in ''blockS of five,"
as campaign arguments, are chiefly on
the other political side. But honest
elections are to be sought above all
partisan Interests.

BORNE TO THE TOMB.
The Father of the House" Burie ed
at Philadelphia.


PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 13.-The mortal
remains of Hon. w. ID. Kelley were
taken to their last resting place to-day
from the residence of his daughter,
Mrs. Horstman, at Thirty-Ninth and
Chestnut streets. The remains, clad in
full black suitreposed in black cloth
covered casket, having silver handles
and mountings. Among the floral trib-
utes placed on the casket was a pillow
of flowers sent by President Harrison.
At II 80 the casket was taken to the
hearse and the procession moved to the
Unitarian church. The congressional
committee acted as paIl-bearers
and occupied carriages ahead of
the hearse. Rev. DIR. William H.
Furness. pastor emeritus, was the offic-
iating clergymen, assisted by Rev. Jo-
seph FL. May. Appropriate portions of
the Scripture were read by Pastor May,
including st. Paul's description of i'm
mortality, and the psalm, 1.-THE Lord Is
My Shepherd" Miss Peddrick fol-
lowed with very impressively-
sung contralto solo, "Come Unto
Me and | viii Give You Rest"
At the conclusion of DR.. Furness' eIO-
quent address the funeral procession
took up its journey to North Laurel Hill
cemetery, where the interment took
place without display, being witnessed
only by the visiting congressman and
relatives of the deceased.

uring has been given of the charms of
that locality for summer recreation,
with suitable apologies for distempered
passages, such as were difficult for del
egates to the Democratic national con-
ventions to survive in 1916 and in 1888.
There are copious agencies there for
alternating extreme atmospheric condi-
lions, but this cyclone business is dis
turbing. It is not the first instance of
such elementary disturbance in that
city. One few years ago took whirl
along the river and lifted locomotives
from the track. People who would
like to spend few weeks at the great
exposition would hesitate to go where
cyclones are likely to be visitors. 1t
would be we'll for st. Louis to give as
surance that such things shall not occur
in that period.

THAT cratic streak of wind, or cy-
clone, that struck a few points in st.
Louis, the other day, was careful:to Sc
lect route where buildings were infre-
quent and there was little obstruction
to its fury. In one or two other similar
visitations recalled IN that vicinity, the
river was the favorite track. 1t seems
to be the general fact that cyclones and
tornadoes avoid the portions of cities
closely built. No case is remembered
where one has devastated the localities
studded with great buildings. 1t is
fortunate that the thickly settled dis
tricts are avoided, or there might be
great losses of life.

One case is reported in the East of
horse having the grip. 1t may be that
he is playing off to avoid work. The
horse epidemic in 1872 was far more
numerous with the animals than the
grip is with men. Hardly any escaped.
Now not half the men. and fewer
women and children in any city have
the epidemic, and it is hardly known in
the country.

wearied of the acts of the last legisla-
ture. and will deviate little in the next
election from strict partyism doctriue,
in order that more competent men may
be chosen as lawmakers. There is no
DOUBT great deal of dissatisfaction
among the leaders of the Republican
party in this state already. High prices
for what people have to buy and ex-
ceedngly low prices for what the people
have to sell is causing many people to
reflect seriously.
