THE NEW BALLOT LAW.

AuC HERALD OIl6 1AOlAlAk klNCC lUo
readers the full text of the new ballot
law passed by tine legislature. 1t is
founded for the most part on the Massa-
chusetts modification of the Australian
law. The passage of this actthrough the
legislature is distinct Democratic tri-
umph. It was opposed with some vigor
by many of the leading Republican pa
pers Of the state, which set up false pre-
lenses that the old law was good enough.
This was delightful display of real gall.
in view of the notorious fact that last
falls election was carried by money,
and that the sum expended was enor-
mously and shamefully large. Voters
of little principle and of no principle
were debauched right and left, and the
idea that we havea a government founded
upon the will of the people as expressed
by the vote OF majority of the electors,
was made ridiculous.
And it was not merely here in Cali
fornia alone that the Republican party
under these false pretenses, or Others
equally false, and equally fiimsy, made a
decided stand for corruption at the bal
lot box. In. many states where that
party is in control of the government,
it has utterly refused to pass any law in
tended to prevent. the purchase of votes.
Every true lover of his country will
greatly rejoice in the passage of this law.
If this is government of the people, by
the people and for the people. it cannot
be so by being made government of
millionaires, by millionaires, and for
millionaires. The two ideas will not
work together III harness. If it is
to be one, it cannot be another.
The only way to preserve our lnstitu-
purity of the ballot box. If
the spring is impure the stream
must be muddy to the end. If unprin-
cipled voters are to be bought like sheep,
what shall the votes of intelligent and
true men count for? If a mans con-
viction based on patriotic sentiments
and intelligent thought is to be the one
dollar conviction of some rascal who
cares as little for free government as he
knows of its elements, farewell, long
farewell to all our greatness. 1t will be
but few short years of corruption,
gathering rottenness as it rolls its
foul self along, until the republic will
be set up for sale as openly, and shame
fully, and as disastrously as was the sale
of the Roman empire by the
pretorian guard. From the pur-
chase Of the senatorial toga
by the purchase of the votes of rascals
who sell the richest birthright that a
man was ever born to for half dozen
glasses of whisky; and from the pur-
chase of the presidency, by corruption
fund raised by Sunday school leaders,
and expended by Davenports, Dorseys
and Dudleys, to the auctioning off of the
government in lump, is not 80 far.
All the restraints and safeguards pos
sible must be thrown around the ballot
box. 1t is the foundation of all free
government. The new law is an at
tempt to stop the purchase of votes, and
as such it is an attempt to preserve
pure for ourselves, and to transmit un-
impaired to posterity, the glorious in
stitutions the fathers of this republic
bled for, and so wisely framed for our
banaft

DIR. HUcKINs's DEATH.
It Results from an Overdose Of Nor
phine.

prime.
Or. Payson T. Huckins died very sud-
denly at o'clock last evening. at his
residence. S4l South Hill street. The
deceased was well known in Los Angeles,
having had an Office at IL North Main
street for several years. A number Of
physicians called to attend the doctor an
hour or two before his death. They
found him suffering from an overdose of
morphine. The usual remedies were
applied, but without avail. The doctors
who attended were very reticent in re-
gard to the matter.
1t is known, however, that DR.. Huck-
ins has been in the habit of using NOR
phine during the past two months, and
the supposition is that he died from an
overdose of the drug. Coroner Weldon
was notified, and an inquest will be held
on Monday morning, when the facts
touching on the death will be devel-
oped.
The deceased leaves wife to mourn
his loss. He was rather strong and
hearty man, and the announcement OF
his death will prove surprise to his ac-
Quaintances.

FRIGHTENED PASSENGERS.
The San Diego Train Knocks Out a
Flat Car,

The passenger train from San Diego
last night met fat car on the same
track, just north of the Redondo branch
switch, and demolished the fiat car, and
scared the passengers. The engineer saw
the car ahead of him, and reversed his
engine and put on "the air" at once, but
could not stop before reaching the OBJ
struction. The sudden stoppage shook
the passengers up, and threw number
of them out of their seats. No one was
hurt, however. 1t was simply luck that
a serious disaster did not ensue. 1t is
not known how the fiat car got on the
main line, but it is thought that mis-
chievous boys or tramps let off the
brakes and started it down the grade.

There's Where You Make a Mistake,

Some folks think they are awfully clever,
And that all other people are fools;
Some people will often endeavor
To make other people their tools.
Some people will boast Of their knowledge
And fancy they're well wide awake;
That none are so deep or 80 cute as them
selves,
But that's where they make mistake
Some people say our advertisements are
untrue,
The prices we quote arc impossible to give;
We cannot exist and sell clothing as we do,
Our prices give US no margin to live.
They puzzle and wonder how ever its done;
They call it clear case Of "take"-
But when they see for themselves, each one
TLey acknowledge they've made a mis-
take.

Mme Ruffin tira de sa poche un
trousseau de clefs, ct tandis que lie
mari allait chercher de rargent dams
mn antique neuble d'acajou, Gerard
schangea quelques mots avec la bonne
dame, qui semblait avoir pour lui une
Affection maternelle. Au bout dune
minute, Ruffin apporta sur la table
six pieces dor ct une d'argent.
-Vous savez la regle Nous
autres notaires, nous donnons rare
ment des recus, mais nous en-
reclamons toujours.
Gerard, habitue > ces formalites,
sempressa de rediger ct de signer
une quittance. Apres que Ruffin eat
axamine ct serre lie papier, lie lieute-
nant resta en- place ct semblait avoir
autre chose i demander.
Ell reprit lancien notaire, guy
a-t-i encore? C'est maigre, helm !!
Ecoutez, mon beau dragon avec les
quinze cents francs de rente consti-
tues sur votre tete, lie jour de votre
naissance, par des personnes inconnues
Jai pu parfois operer des economies
don't vous avez profile mais 4 cette
heure, nous sommes au pair, mon
cher gareon, ct ie mai plus a vous
remettre que votre mois tout sec.
Voyons pourtant, ajouta-t-il en- SOU
rant les officers de cavalerie ont
souvent des embarras, ct les appointe-
ments que lie gouvernement leur
alloue ne sont pas forts. ST, pour
acheter un cheval, ou des epaulettes,
ou un beau casque dore vous aviez
besoin de cinq. six cents francs, je
pourrais vous les avancer, non pas
sur vos fonds personnels, celia NEST
defendu, mais sur ma cassette parti-
culiere.
Gerard s'enhardit.
Mon cher monsieur Ruffin, reprit-
il la rente annuelle, constituee sur ma
tete, provient, nest ce pas, dune
somme de trente mile francs qui a
etc versee entire vos mains quand
vous etiez notaire en- titre, par DIES
tierces personnes ? C'est de ces
trente mile francs en- capital que
jaurais besoin, en- vous dechargeant,
bien entendu, du pavement de la
rente a lavenir.
Ruffin Sc redressa vivement.
Pas possible, mon gareon !!
s'ecria-t-il sill faut ravouer, je serais
enchante de me debarrasser de cette
afaire ie suis vieux, ainsi gu Homo
rine, ct je desirerais ne pas en- laisser
fennui d nos enfants ct heritiers.
Mais, malgre mon desir de vous etre
agreeable la rente que ie vous sers est
Viagere, inalienable ct insaisissable !;
81 vous acceptiez les mile francs que
Jofre de vous prefer, je naurais
meme pas lie droit de me payer Plus
tard par mes propres mains.
-Permettez- moi. mon excellent
monsieur Rutfin, r6pliqua Gerard, de
rappeler vos souvenirs. Cette rente
est. en- etfet. insaisissable ct inaliena-
BILE, mais settlement jusqua ce que
j'aie atteint lage de vingt-cinq ans'
on il doit m etre permis de reciamer

La, il choisit des etoffes pour robes,
de la lingerie, des effets convenant a
dies enfants de la campagne; il en-
paya lie prix, ainsi que remballage ct
lie port, ct demanda qu'on adressat le

dams la yoiture qui rattendait, Sc fit
conduire rue Coquilliere, on il la

La rue Coquilliere, quoique tres
frequentee entire la Banque ct les
