NEW YoRK's NEW ELECTION LAW.

The ballot reform law passed by the New
York legislature and approved by Governor
Hill is based on the Australian system,
but is an improvement in several respects
The governor kept vetoing bills until one
was passed which met his ideas as to the
secrecy of the ballot and which eliminated
the confusing feature. This, he insisted.
would be protection to the uneducated
voter, who would otherwise be at the
mercy of the political manipulators. The
law provides that only official ballots shall
be used, but instead of the names of all
candidates being printed on one sheet, each
party will have its own ticket. The voter.
upon appearing at the polls, will be sup
piled with full set of tickets, and
upon retiring to his booth may select the
ballot he wants, may erase and insert
names, or write an entirely new ticket.
The unused ballots are to be deposited in a
box furnished for that purpose, so that no
body can tell which the voter discards.
Only officers Of the election will be al
lowed within $50 feet of the polls, and no
body will be admitted to the booth where
the voter is preparing his ballot, unless the
elector is wholly unable to arrange his
ticket when he may ask one of the cleo
ten officers TO assist him. The voting is
thus kept secret and entirely free from the
party workers, and there will be no
chance for bribery or intimidation The
boss may march his men to the polls,
and he may know that each has
the desired ticket in his pocket, but
the elector goes into a compartment alone,
and with all the tickets before him takes
the one he prefers, while the bribe-giver
or intimidator can by no possibility learn
how the man voted. If 800 citizens petit
ton the state must print the ticket for
them, and fifty voters can have their
nominees names put on ballots for local
and county offices.
1t is believed that the law viii work
well. 1t certainly should result in much
independent voting. and put it out of the
power of large employers to supply their

Bishop PorTER's famous discourse be-
fore the President at Saint PauPs church,
New York, year ago, was the keystone
for an awakened clericaliGteresti in matters
Of state. The EUcatng Post notes greater
freedom among ministers in dealing with
the sins Of presidents and mayors and cites
the following extract from a recent sermon
by the Rev. THOMAS Dixon, ir., a Baptist
preacher:
But" you say, ''what has religion got 10 do
with city politics?' What has it not got 10 Go
with it? Is. it nothing to you, as Christian,
that your streets reek with filth. and that men
and women must live in that atmosphere of
disease and death. must die in it? Is Ii nothing
to you that ruffians shall rule this great CITY OF
ours? Nothing TO the Christian manhood of this
city that men shall meet in the dirty back-room
of filthy bar rooms, and there, guzzling beer.
shall nominate 60 per cent of the men YOU vote
for? Is not that your and my business? 1 tell
you, men and brethren, if these things are not
our business 1 don't know whose business it is
in this world. You Christian men of this great
city are responsible for these things and God
will hold you to account

THE UNFAIRNESS CONTINUES.

Some weeks ago THE HERALD confessed
Its inability to understand why the pres
ent city council should be antagonistic to
the Salt Lake City railway company. The
evidence Of the antagonism was apparent
every time that railway matters came up in
the municipal legislature. Notwithstand-
ing this, we were told that there was no
enmity towards the old company. After
Tuesday nights proceeding, we wonder
what the defenders OF the council will say
In regard to that body's unfairness. Last
f'ridas evening, the bill for franchise to
the new company was introduced, and at
Tuesdays session it was rushed through
without discussion. It was manifest that an
understanding among members rs to the
measure had been arrived at, otherwise
the council is the most reckless and re-
consider body that ever occupied such
an important positi n. An exam
ination of the bill shows that not
only has the new company been
granted franchises to unoccupied
streets in every quarter of the city, but in
several instances has been given the right
to parallel the lines of the old company, and
streets that were denied to the old COM
pany have been given to the new. If rank
favoritism has not been shown to the new
company and equally as pronounced dis
elimination against the old, then we mis-
read things.
1t must not be taken that THE HERALD is
championing either road, as this paper is
interested in neither, even remotely, and
our friends are in both; but it seems to
US that there is rank injustice in the dis
elimination that is made. If the old com
pany were fogyish or Anticipated; if it were
stingy and non-progressive; if it
were employing the monopoly that
it has enjoyed to Cypress the
people; if it were refusing to
extend its lines as there comes demand fer
them, the case would be different; but the
company is astonishingly progressive; it
has expended half million dollars already
and is spending money as fast as it can do
SO wisely; it gives as good street ear SER
vice as can be found in the United States,
and the fare is as low as is charged any
where in the country.
When we take all these things into ac-
cornt, we fail to understand why profess
sedly progressive council should insist
upon stahbing the company. It may be
good business to induce people to invest
their money in good faith il needed i'm
provements and then kick them for their
enterprise; but there are those who viii
not see it in that light. We haven't talked
TO them on the subject, but we imagine
that if Nlessrs. NicCUNE, JAEv1s-CoNk-
Ling company and CHAMBERS could have
pcered into the future few months, Salt
Lakes street car service would not to-day
be the satisfactory and elegant thing that
1t is Tho Rapid Transit people are net to
be cersurea; it is their privilege and right
to get ell they can fer themselves: but we
cannot see that the council IS at all fair or
just to the OIL company

THE OTHER day, in passing sentence on a
man convicted of murder in his court,
Judge MARITIME, of New York, said
Homicide has come to be about the safest
crime for a man to commit If he wounds
his enemy or steals his property he is rea :
sonably sure of receiving severe punish
ment. But if he kills him he can feel quite
confident that some lawyer, some corpora
ton or some individual full of maudlin SEN
dmentality will take all possible care that if
any human agency can avert such fate he
does not die by the hand OF the law. For
the slayer there is any amount of sympa-
thy; for the slain there is none. l do not
share in this misdirected sentiment My
sympathy is with the dead, and 1 am of the
opinion that every man who takes the life
Of another with deliberation and premedi-
tation should pay the forfeit of his lfe.'
These same words could with appropri-
ateness be repeated by other judges in
other states.

The INFLUENZA epidemic which swept
over the country last winter was serious
thing for the life insurance companies,
Secretary PIERsoN, Of the Actuarial Society
of America, reports that the death losses to
Twenty-Five companies in the United
States, occasioned by la grippe, in the first
quarter of this year were s., 07S, AGO. and
the increased death losses by pneumonia
and bronchitis, were $685.. 036, or total loss
OF 1861, 496 directly attributable to the
epidemic Secretary PIERsoN further
says: 1.-THE date and observations indicate
that the epidemic carried away the older
policy holders, and those who would have
readily succumbed to some her..disease. 1t
is generally believed that the losses from
other diseases during the remaining nine
months will be less numerous and make
the total mortality for the twelve months
about the normal annual average

If SPECIAL AGENT PATTERsoN's recon-
mendation as to the postollice site shall be
adopted, we shall have an opportunity to
see how well postoffice can ''draw'' bust
ness towards itself. The popular idea is
that a postoffice attracts mercantile bust
ness to its neighborhood, and this idea is
what actuated the realty owners to make
most generous offers to the government
for the office. The site chosen is away
from the business centre, and no amount
Of booming and pulling has been able to
take business in that direction. If the
postoffice can accomplish the feat, when it
comes to the selection of a site for a gov
eminent building our real estate owners
will know better how to act.

The Morning Chronicle. a most valua-
bic sheet in its way, in its Sunday edi-
ton contained the following interesting
item:
No event in social circles has eclipsed
of late the banquet given at the club last
night in honor of Capt. Gordon Noel, Of
the Eleventh cavalry, on the eve of his
departure to take command of his troop,
now fastening to the scene of Indian hos
tilities in Arizona. AS is well known to
our citizens, the news of the murderous
outbreak at the reservation was no
sooner received than this gallant officer
applied instantly to be relieved from his
present duties in our midst and ordered
to Join his comrades in the field, that he
might share with them the perils of this
savage warfare.
Covers were laid for forty. The table
was decorated with flowers and glistened
with plate and crystal. The most con-
spicuOus device was the crossed sabers
of the cavalry, with the number II and
the letter X, that being the designation
of the captains company. His honor
Mayor Jenness presided, and the Hon.
Amos Withers faced him at the other
end of the banquet board. The speech
of the evening was made by Mayor Jen-
ness in toasting our gallant guest which
was drunk standing and with all honors.
We have room only for brief summary
of his remarks. Abiding to the previous
distinguished services of the captain, he
said that In every territory of our broad
west his saber has flashed in the defense
of the weak against the strong, the poor
settler against the powerful and numer-
GUS savage tribes too often backed by
official influence at Washington. And
now, while cheeks were blanching and
hearts were still stricken by the dread
news of the butcheries and rGpine which
marked the Indians flight, when others
shrank from such parilous work, where
was the man who could suppress the fer
vent admiration with which he heard
that there was one soldier who lost no
time in dcm&~ ding relief from duty here,
that he might speed to the head of the
gallant fellows already in the field. who
had followed him in many stirring
charge AMI through all the current Of
man. heady fight whose hearts would
leap FIR joy at sight of their beloved
leaders faCe-the man whonever yet had
failed them, the man who never yet had
faltered in his duty, the man whose
sword was never drawn without reason,
never Sheathed without hOnOr-our SOL
der guest, Capt. Gordon Noal%
Much affected, it was some minutes
before the captain could respond. The
modesty of the true soldier restrained his
elOuuence. He knew not how to thank
them for this most hattering testimony
of their confidence and regard; he far
from deserved the lavish praise of their
honored chairman. If in the past he
had succeeded il winning their esteem
all the more would he trv to merit it
