Tho candidates of all "independent orgahi~"'

Ill. Az IL was. the Socialistlc candidate ior
Judoe Of the Court of Appeals who polled 81
800 in Albany County, and the Prohibition
aand;date for that Office. who polled 726 votes
49, vere each allowed as many ballots iof
d;s,r;hution at the public expense as were PRINT
cd for Judge Earl. Ii is clear from TINS that
hundreds of thousands OF baiio'S WERE prin'eu
this fall merely to be thrown away Inc prin'-
ING of them was an absolute waste Oh the pup
nc money. Ii is equally clear That the NUMBER
of votes allowed to each polling-place is ex-
,rovacantly large Think of district Whcre
~ ooo ballots were supplied against the pos
s;h,o demand of 800 voters Ii is earnestly
20 ho boned that the next Legislature, one
branch of which will be Republican and the
o.h.r Democratic. will address itself TO this
;mnortant matter in non bipartisan spirit ana
the determination to perfect raw SO Haught
with benefit to the common veal. Ihere ought
70 be no politics in ballot reform.
An exceedingly interesting interview with
Sorotor Sayton. who is to be regarded as the
,ood;rc authority in this State on ballot reform,
sunnements the letter in question. lie offers a
number OF Vaitlapie suSSe''' 'o w
omondment of the new law and of the Corrupt
Practice act, which may be said to be part OF
II The Senator holds that provision is maze
not only for too many ballots and too many IN
donpndent tickets. but for too many election
officials. He insists that political committees
os well As candidates should be required to file
n detailed statement of their campaign ex-
penses. lie further insists that the initials OF
election officials on ballots serve no good pur-
pose and may readily serve bad one. His
point that the registration act is responsible for
much of the increase of election expenses would
doubtless make more of an impression upon the
public mind were it not that that act is gen.
orally looked upon as an indispensable annex to
the ballot law. Most of Senator Saxtons sus-
gestons have already been advocated in these
columns and all of them are entitled to the care
full consideration of the Legislature.

that the voters will feel as they commonly feel
that the general interests are best conserved
when the Democrats are in the minority in the
Senate and Assembly. A party which exer-
cises no care in its choice of candidates does
not deserve the public confidence.

The death of the King of the Netherlands has
been so long anticipated and provided against
that it can cause neither surprise nor connection.
As long ago as March &c, 1889, he was de-
clarad ncapacitatcd for carrying on the Gov
erpment, and his daughter was proclaimed
Regent under the guardianship of the Ministry.
The King improved in health, however, and a
few weeks later he resumed the rens OF gov
eminent. On October 20, this year the Dutch
Parliament again pronounced the King in
capacitated, and Queen Emma was made Re-
gent The most interesting question raised by
the Kings death relates to the future of Luxem-
burg. The Salio law still governs there, and
the Regency is assumed by Duke Adolf OF
Nassau Both Germany and France would like
TO get possession of the Grand Duchy, which
NAV soon play an important part in European
politics.
What can be done in practical way by an

Squaw Murdered.

Last Sunday afternoon the
dead bedy OF Little Maggie" a
well-known Pluto woman, was
found in a fence corner at the
head of the street running north
of the M. Z. Church and within a
stones throw of that building. In.
vestigation showed that her throat
had been cut from ear to ear and
that the deed had probably been
committed early Saturday night.
The bloody marks of the brutal
murderer's hands were found on
the top board and post Of the
fence over which he had climbed
into the Broker field. He was
tracked to a near stream where he
had evidently stopped to wash his
hands. A Coroner's jury investi-
gated the affair and returned a
verdict to the effect that the wo-
man had been murdered by an
unknown party, and that there
was reasonable ground to suspic.
ion one Manuel Leon-a Mexican
-of the crime. He was placed
under arrest and the matter will
be the subject or further investi-
cation. It is one OF the results Of
selling whisky to class who are
known to buy 1t for Indians.-Inyc
