into politics. He was a friend Of Ros-
coe Conkling and, after a good deal of
preliminary training, he entered the
lists ms candidate for governor. At
that time the people and the party in
New York cared little for Mr.. Cornell.
His nomination was one of those
things that happen in this world, with
out any special reason. But he made
nm excellent governor, and all went
well until the Conkling- Plat resigna-
tions were followed by a demand for
legislative endorsement of these two
men. II was at the time in that fight
when Mr.. Conkling was consumed with
modification that he applied harsh
titles to the governor, to whom he once
referred as that lizard on the hill"
This happened because Governor Cor
nell refused TO use his office to cOerce
members of the legislature, many of
whom had been formally instructed by
their constituents to resist Mr.. Conk-
ling's appeals under all circumstances,
il for no other reason, on the ground
that his reelection would be a direct
insult to the Garfield administration,
which New York republicans had just
helped to put i'm power.
Whatever the merits of this quarrel,
il brought Governor Cornell's career to
a speedy close. lie was q candidate
for denomination, but the "blind pool
shout began the work that was finished
when, instead of Cornell, Judge Folger
was put up to be mercilessly punished.
Governor Cornell was never as rich as
he was rated TO be. lie had means, of
course, when he held office and his
friendships, inherited largely through
his fathers investments, brought him
into close relations with several very
wealthy men. lie disappeared sud
denly when he went out of the execu-
tive mansion at Albany, and he never
was heard of more in politics nor, for
that matter, in any financial affairs
that attracted public attention. lie Is
experiencing a revival just now in a
most unpleasant way, and the dis
patches are telling of judgments filed
against him for amounts that seem a
pittance I'm the finances Of the Cornells,
some of the suits being for sums less
than five hundred dollars. With this
mans finances, il not with his politics,
it is like father, like son."

that our form of ballot Is unconstitu-
tional in that IL establishes an educa-
tional test. The new law meets this
in q simple way. The voter in
New York enters the private booth, as
with us, but before he enters he receives
three ballots. One of these gives the
full republican ticket, the other the
democratic. The third has simply the
list of the offices. but no names. This
third ballot the voter may fill out, or he
may paste to II any list of names, and
he has the right to bring this list to the
polling place with him. 1t folds as the
others do, and is just as secret. The
bill thus avoids the condition imposed
I'm Montana, which compels the litter
ate man to have his vote filled out by
n of the judges at the polls. That
feature of the law was disapproved
alike by republicans and democrats In
New York state.
One feature of the Montana plan
which has already put candidates on
needles Is thus referred to by Governor
Hill: ''The present measure Omits one
clearly unconstitutional section which
was a part of the bill of 1889 and which
made the citizens right to vote de-
pendent on nominations being made
and certificates filed as prescribed
therein. IL was shown that the right
to vote is an absolute right conferred
by the constitution and not by statute,
and no electOr can be deprived of that
right by the acts or the omissions of
parties or individuals" This feature
of the bill, operative i'm this state, came
very nea getting a good many Butte
candidates into trouble last month.
The testimony of eminent lawyers in
New York state is that 1t cannot stand
in Ease a contest were to arise.
In a general way the ballot law in
Montana is satisfactory, yet there are
features of III plan which have been
carefully studied by republicans and
democrats in New York, apparently in
a non-partisan spirit, and the claim is
made that an improvement OH the
Montana plan has been devised. In
any event, the discussion in New York
has been interesting and the summary
of its results is instructive to all citi-
zens who are seeking to find the best
way.

a very unsavory odor. IL looks very
much like a well assorted lot of faxed

lieve that it was of just about that

been rendered and that ends the case,
but the whole business is of doubtful
merit as a serious proceeding in court,

MoNTkNA's LAW AND NEW Works.

NOM 6NAS LAW ANU NEW YORK s,
In New York state the struggle over
ballot reform law lasted three years.
The bill which received the signature
of Governor Hill nine days ago is the
fourth under that title 10 reach the
governor: he vetoed three of them.
There was no need of this long contest:
politics was ut the bottom of il. The
governor is a democrat and the legisla-
ture ut Albany is always republican.
The rival parties represented by the
executive and the Legislative depart
ments of the state wasted n world of
time in sparring for position. Cover
nor Hill was determined that the re-
publicans should not get away with
the credit due to the adoption of a
wholesome reform, while the republi.
can senate and assembly were resolved
to force executive approval To a ballot
law.
In some respects IL was a bootless
quarrel. yet the outcome proves that
good has come of il. The whole uues
ton of a reform i'm voting was under
patient study ms the quarrel advanced,
everybody had to yield something. par.
tisan advantage constantly became a
factor of less force in the business,
some vital objections were removed
and an intelligent bill was framed.
New York has a ballot law, and il ap.
pears To he an excellent one. II re.
ceived the vote of all the republicans
in the legislature, and il Is getting the
approval of the state press. IL differs
materially from the code under which
elections are conducted in this state.

people were SC surprised and so indignant
that the senate didn't dare touch the thing.

The common lot is one of sorrow say--at
least-the pessimists, they who look at the
worst side. Certainly what would otherwise
be a bright existence. is often Swallowed by
some ailInent that oveihangs it like pail,
obscuring perpetually the radiance that else
would light the path. Such an ailment, and
a very common one, is nervousness, or in
other words, weakness of the nervous system,
condition only irremediablc where insufi-
cient or improper means are taken to relieve
it. The concurrent experience of nervous
people who have persistently used Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is, that it conquers entirely
supersensitiveness of the nerves, as well as
diseases-so called-which are invited and
sustained by their chronic weakness. AS the
nerves gain stamina from the great tonic the
trouble disappears. Use the Bitters for ma
LARA. rheumatism, biliousness and kidney
troubles.
