The Australian Ballot.

1t is said the stay-at-home vote will
be larger than many people anticipate,
owing to the fear of not few that
they will expose their ignorance.
The law, therefore, undesignedly
imposes an educational qualification.
For the man who "cannot execute a
freeman's will, as the lightning does
the will of God" by the Australian
method, is not likely to enjoy much
intelligent interest in public affairs.
Brazil makes intelligence the quail
fication for suffrage, and is coming to
the Australian plan of voting.
The indianapolis Qnd.) Journal, a
bitter opponent of the Australian sys-
TEN when it was a proposal, is COM
pletely won over after seeing it tested
in the recent municipal election in
that city. 1t says sit is the only
ray in which an orderly, dignitied cleo
ton can be held.
The system will present its worst
difficulties next Tuesday in the lengthy
ticket each voter will have to look
over.
But no one should fail to see
the proposed amendments to the Con-
stitution OH the light hand side of
the ticket, outside column, and place
his X in the annexed square, under the
word, Against"
If the voter entertains any doubt as
to which is the fifth proposed amend
ment, he should place his X under
the word, against" in all the squares
from top to bottom.
The proposed fifth amendment
should be scotched, if it takes drag
net to catch it.

Concerning Economy.

In connection with J. S. Devecmon's
complaint against the registration
ring the Frostburg Ledger notices.
that a howl has been set mp over this al
fair by certain other papers which have no
interest but their own pockets. In proof Of
what we say the records will show that GER
tain other papers in this vicinity have in
years past done all the registration work they
could get and charged the county rates as
high if not higher than those charged by the
registration ring. SO that all is not patriot
ism that SO appears.
SO far as this charge involves the
JOURNAL we will say that we never
tried to get the work of any other dis
tricts than Nos II and -. and these
came to us unasked.
That we ever charged more than )
cents per name for printing cannot be
proven.
That we ever charged anything for
''results" cannot be proven.
That we ever charged anything for
corrections" cannot be proven.
SO that if charging 10 cents per
name for printing, so much for ne
suits" and so much for corrections"
be cheaper business than charging
) cents per name for printing-this
charge including both ''results'' and
corrections" whatever those items
are-then the science Of figures has
turned backward since the combine
and the Ledger have taken charge of
the registration accounts.
Another point. The JOURNAL has
never put on any air of patriotism
about this matter.
1t has contended that the taking
away of this work - less than one
seventh in the county, was robbery,
and that the combine are the robbers.
And it asserts that the people have
lost money in the very scheme 10y
which we were robbed of our little
share of registration printing.
Moreover, we do not pursue the
subject with any hope or expectation
of eyer getting that little share back
again. If the combine could ever be
shamed out Of It's conspiracy, that
little jag would fall into the lap Of the
Ledger.
Which is trying to make itself un-
worthy of even a erumb which might
fall off the public table into its open
mouth.

We Shall See.

The letter of "a Voter at Ocean is
too long for publication.
Besides. he makes his inquiries too
late.
Boiled down. he wants the JOURNAL
to state fairly and caudidly the atti-
tude of each legislative ticket toward
the proposed fifth amendment and all
legislation that may come up under il.
The JOURNAL will tell all it knows
and only what it knows.
The convention which nominated
the republican ticket adopted unan-
imously wholesale resolution endors
ing the record of Hon. George A.
Pearre in the State Senate. More
than any other man, perhaps, Mr..
Pearre gave the canal steal its death
blow for the time being, and this act
is the most important of the record
endorsed by his party.
At least three of the last House
delegation, all republicans, favored
the so-called sale of the canal.
The convention which endorsed Mr..
Pearre left all of them at home this
time.
From the democratic nominees we
have heard two funeral notes and one
cheerful chirp.
The last was from James R. Ander,
son, of Homecoming, who, we under
stand is immovably opposed to any in
reference with the current status of
the canal.
With the exceptions named the
democratic nominees are as profoundly
mum upon the subject as was the
convention which nominated them.
1t has been written that
Once to every man and nation comes the
moment to decide.
In the strife of truth with deceit. for the
good or evil side.
But our friends, the democratic
nominees, Mr.. Anderson excepted,
appear to feel that the crisis in their
careers has not come.
Perhaps not.

Col. Whoop Koffcutter, of the king.
dom of Allegany, thinks the election
will go the usual way. He stuck a
pin the other week where the Frost
burg Ledger told him to insert it, and
the pin Is there yet.
The more the Homecoming base,
ballist ponders over the condition of
baseball down there nowadays the
more fondly he turns to the ladylike
game of lawn tennis as an easier way
of winning championship.

the New Testament nor in the writings
of the early Christian fathers.

Vote Against All-if Necessary

Democratic miners, do not be BAN
boozled by any representation to the
effect that the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad company wants to buy the
States interest in the canal.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
companyis we'll content with watching
the effort, now succeeding, to show the
people that the canal can be made to
pay, and pay handsomely, as a water
way.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
company does not want the canal.
But suppose it dld-would it not be
one Maryland institution wanting to
absorb another Maryland institution !!
And would not Maryland development
be thus more surely encouraged and
promoted
The people who want the eaual-the
people who are at the bottom of the
proposed fifth amendment, have in
terests alien to those Of Maryland
interests that compete with ours
interests that, given free rein,
will destroy ours. All this they
can do-V zee permit them.
Will we'
No.
Then vote against the proposed fifth
amendment.

finding the proposed fifth amendment,
then. to make sure of it, vote against ali

FROsTBURG MD, OCTOBER 81, 1891.
BY Way of Contrast

BY Way of Contrast.
While some Maryland people are
scheming aud scheming and scheming
to destroy water transportation, those
along the Missouri river are making
herculean effort to restore it.
We have one railroad along the
Potomac; the canal wreckers want
another, the latter to be built upon
the ruins of water transportation.
In Missouri they have already rail
road on each side of the river for
hundreds of miles, yet, says the
Kansas City Times
the city is hampered by prohbitive
transportation charges on coal, and we must
look to the river as the only medium through
which to obtain relief.
SO, citizens, let the West
Virginia Central people build their
road from Cumberland over the hills
to Hagerstown,-as they are pretend
ing to design to do-there will still be
work enough left for the canal in
carrying our coal at the cheapest
possible rates.
In the West says the Times:
Everything points to the time water trans
portation will replace the railway as COM
mon carrier for most of the products of this
section.
Out there it will be remembered,
the railway DESTROYED water travel
and traffic within the last % years
destroyed it with the same specious
argument that we hear-the canal is
too slow.
But the Western people have just
found out what the English learned
over 80 years ago, according to Ralph
Waldo Emerson
The Briton is content to run slow boats as
long as fast boats lose money.
We have seen that the Missouri
river people yielded to the pretext of
fast carriage without ever thinking of
the overbalanclng disadvantage of
costly carriage.
And we have seen that their ex-
perience has ought loss and sorrow
in its train.
Happily for them, however, they
were not called upon to throw away
their right to seek redemption of
the old regime. They lost nothing by
surrender of the right to restore water
transportation, if they should ever
wish to do so as an escape from rail
way transportation.
We are now where the Missouri
river people were 25 years ago. and
we are asked to go where they are.
AT the same time they are doing
their level best to get back where we
are.
In other words, we are asked to do
now in the proposed fifth amendment
what the Missouri river peope are try
ing to undo.
We are asked to set back the hands
on the dial of time at least % years
and on the dial of progress forever.
We are asked to so amend our
organic lao that we may never have
the privilege enjoyed by the Missouri
river people of seeking to remedy the
error we will have made.
We are asked to crown the wishes
of the Board of Public Works with
imperial power to manacle our hands
and gag our tongues so that, helpless
and voiceless, we may never, never,
never appeal even mutely for relief.
The JOURNAL never wished more
earnestly to reach every voter in the
county with any subject.
Still, it hopes that an emphatic
mo- to the proposed fifth amendment
will come up from a vast ma ority.
If we are to be sold out to West
Virginia, let it not be done with our
assent.

was SO strong for Frank Brown that it
imagined that people who were too i'll

Vote Against All.

Looks like pity that in few in
stances a good proposed amendment
should lose vote simply because in
order to catch and scotch bad one all
should be negatived.
But remember, christian voters, it
was the Tooth lamb-the lamb that
was astray, that was esteemed of more
consequence than the 80 that were not
lost.
If you desire to carry out the spirit
of that beautiful parable at next Tues
days election, put your X in the square
under the word, against" all the
way down the right hand column of
the ticket.
There are six squares.
Don't skip any
This method, strictly followed, will
be sure to catch, scotch and kill the
proposed fifth amendment
Advice.
Vote for the first of the proposed
amendments to the Constitution.
Vote agoinst the fifth.
The voter should know before he
goes to the polls what he is going to
do.
The time allowed him in the booth
"alone with his pencil and his God" is
merely to prepare his ballet in accord
ance with his predetermined intention.
1t would not be bad idea to put
his X in the square under the word,
"a gainst, alongside the proposed fifth
amendment the first thing he does
to make sure of carrying out properly
the commanding duty of exercising the
right of suffrage at this time.

ments is printed elsewhere.

vote for the first one and against the
,ftM one-the latter especially.
