THE NEW VOTING SYSTEM.

The vital principal. the chief merit
of the Australian ballot system, is
secret voting. The great evil OF
American elections is corruption,
which hourishes only because the
voting is not secret.
No briber will pay for a vote un-
less sure of getting it, and he cannot
be sure of this when there is no
means of watching the voter or
knowing how he votes.
No employer can successfully IN
timidate employees who are protected
by a secret ballot.
No voter can be deceived by a
fraudulent ticket when the ballot he
is to cast is official and officially de-
Gvered to HIM beyond the reach OF
political runners.
That is the remedy provided by
the new system. There is but one
ballot, and that is official. 1t bears
the names of all the candidates. 1t
is given to the voter by an officer
inside the polling-place. The voter
then enters a compartment by him
self. He makes cross opposite the
names for which he wishes to vote,
folds his ballot and puts it into the
box.
No mortal but himself knows how
he has voted. No one can find out
except from hlm. Enveloped by
every safeguard of absolute secrecy,
he is free to vote according to the
dictates of his own conscience.
That is the new system in nut
she'll. 1t is no longer problem or
an experiment. Its praeticability
and success have been proved by ex-
perience in Massachusetts,. Not even
the veto of Governor Hill can de-
feat its adoption in this State during
the coming session of the Legisla-
ture, for public sentiment demands
it with a voice that must be needed.
Other States will take the same
step, so that the time is not far dis
tant when the "blocks of five" busi-
ness will be a thing of the past and
purity of elections an attained end.

HEATHEN PRACTICES.

1t is commonly reported that the
leaders of the Hale Naua" society
offered heather sacrifices in Kona,
Hawaii, last week, for the success of
the National Reform" ticket. 1t
seems, however, that only the lesser
offerings, such as the white chicken,
red fish and black pig, were offered.
The crowning act of the ancient
ritual, and the keystone of the whole
system of idolstry, the human sacri-
fee, was wanting. 1t is a pity that
the present laws of this Kingdom
should stand in the way of the scien-
tifc and antiquarian pursuits of the
Hale Naua" society.

II Is rather hard that Mr.. Bush,
who has done and said so much for
his party, who has borne the burden
and heat of the day, should have
been just the one whom that jade
Fortune elected to stay at home.
This was the most unkindest cut of
all. Never mind, Mr.. Bush, don't
cry. Remember that the way to an
office in the Government building, or
further yet, to SAMOA or WASHINGTON
or better still, ROME, does not neces-
sarily lead through the Legislative
hall. You may get there" just the
same.

Honolulu has always been the
stronghold of corruption in Hawaiian
politics. In the old days of the Re
form party all its efforts to unseat
Mr.. Gibson shattered in Honolulu.
Country majorites availed nothing
against solid Honolulu, where the
Government firmly entrenched in
power and in possession of all the
advantages which Office unscrupul-
ously used confers, was able tri
umphantly to resist every attempt to
unseat it in the capital city. The
election Wednesday shows that this
state of things has passed away.
The party in power has not one ad-
vantage at the polls which the other
side has not. The two stand on a
footing of perfect equality, and for
the first time it is possible to hold
fair election in Honolulu in which
the government enters the arena,
like every other combatant, stripped
of every advantage which the prior
possession of power would naturally
confer.
This state of things is the work of
the Reform party. When they came
into power instead of showing de-
sire to take advantage of. their i'm
proved situation as they might so
easily have done, they showed that
they had nothing so much at heart
as fair elections where the will of
the people might find unobstructed
expression. They did what they
were bound to do, passed an ad-
yanced election law, and thus shew-
ed that they were in fact as well as
in name REFORM party. They have
never got the least credit for it. The
Cabinet could not appoint an in
spector of election without some
nameless correspondent of the Bull
letin raising a howl. Now that the
election is over the anonymous howl
of rage will become the anonymous
howl of Joy which will be relief after
the eternal monotone of the last two
years. But we have the right to ex-
pect also that justice will be done at
last, and that the Reform party
should hear a tardy acknowledge
ment of the purity of Its aims, in
securing fair elections. The Ma
tional Reform party if it gets into
power. will find that it has got big
contract on its hands, if it under
takes to improve, in this particular,
on the record of the party now in
power.

ELECTION OF COLONEL.

Considerable has been SAID within
a few days past about the coming
election Of Colonel under the Mill
tary law. The law fixes the second
week in February as the time for a
nomination to be made. Upon read
ing the law, however, it is little
difficult to understand how any cleo
ton at all can take place this year.
The Act became law upon the 24th
OF July. 1888, and although an cleo
ton, or nomination rather. was made
within the time prescribed by law,
Colonel Ashford was not commits
stoned, If We are correctly informed.
until August, 1889. The law SAYS:
"A new nomination for Colonel shall
be made in the second week of
February Of each alternate year. sue
ceedlng the commissioning of the
first Colonel hereunder 1890 is
certainly not an alternate year fol-
lowing 1889. For many reasons it
would be better not to have the gen
eral election and that for Colonel
come within week of each other.
With only one Battalion it is diff
cult to see why We need Colonel at
present.

WEDNESDAYS election was most
quiet and orderly There were no
arrests for disorderly conduct, and
everything passed off with the ut
most decorum. The day was more
like Sunday than an ordinary cleo
ton day This is the work of the
election law, which, imperfect as it
in its final form, undoubtedly is,
still has swept away a multitude Of
abuses. The same observation has
been made in the United States
wherever a radical election law has
been passed. particularly when it has
enforced secret voting. The conduct
of the election Wednesday, and the
quiet of the day, are another long
credit mark for the Reform party.

rHpsE GIFTS.

Mr.. Widemann made statement
at a political meeting on Friday
evening week, to the effect that the
French Government had made COM
pensation for the Kings yacht Kane
hameha, which was unlawfully Seized
and carried off by Admiral de from
elm, in 1S49, at the time he seized
and held the Honolulu fort. A gen
tleman who has resided here since
1S49 says that this is the first lntl-
nation that has ever been made pub
lie that these gifts were sent by the
French Government as compensa-
ton for the yacht. Certainly moth
ing of the kind was ever published
regarding them. If such gifts were
sent from France and received by
the King as compensation for the
yacht, no one knew anything OF 1t as
such. and the value of the presents
named could not have been the tenth
part of what the yacht cost the King
$4,000. If this was all, it was no
compensation for an outrage which
was condemned by all European and
American statesmen as a wrong per-
petrated by a powerful nation on
weak and unoffending sovereign,
who had no means of redress. MIR.
Thurston was perfectly justified in
the statement which he made.

Uneasiness in China.
power.

We learn from Pekin that there is
a feeling there of great uneasiness
as to the stability of things in China.
The Young Emperor and Empress
are believed to be unlucky, as there
has been nothing but disaster since
their accession. There is no loyalty
in China, IN our sense of the word,
and there are great fears that trou-
bles viii arise from the general dis
tress inevitable this winter; and that
If there were any man of eminence
who saw any advantage to be gained
from raising rebellion, it would go
hard with the present dynasty. The
misfortunes that have happened
since the present Emperor's access
ion have revived the discomfort that
was felt at the irregularity of his
succession, which found its express
ion at the time, as viii be remem-
bered. in the suicide of one of the
Censors. We would earnestly echo
the remarks of our Newchwang cor
respondent, and impress upon the
naval authorities that no treaty port
in the Empire ought to be left with
out man-of-wsr this winter. There
is no special antipathy to foreigners;
but their safety may easily be in
volved in some tumult that has arisen
from causes entirely unconnected
with their presence.-N. G.. Daily

Hunt system, to Quiniault lake, and it is under

practicable farther int the Olympic range, and
to Hoods canal, making Gray's Harbor City
the gateway to this magnificent country. Thi
is probably the most feasible entrance to the
O.ympics, aud the rsilrord that first builds into
the country will reap big harvest as the fertile

famed land are developed.
The line will be run from Gray Harbor City
east to the Humptnlups river, thence north by
theiriver side and on through the Humptulups
valley to the Quiniault river. From there it will
probably be extended direct to Quiniault
lake, one of the prettiest sheets of water
in Washington. The timber is very heavy all
along the valley, and the land beneath the trees
will some day make fine farms. Prospectors
