Superintendent Gilleran asked County
Attorney burst whether he had the right to
make a new assessment on street work, the
first one having been declared void, to
which Counselor burst has replied in the
affirmative. A void assessment is equivalent
to no assessment, and it is the duty of the
Superintendent to make a valid assessment
in order to protect the contractor.

The Argus quotes with approval an arti-
Gle from the Cotton and Wool Reporter
which condemns the Mckinley tariff law
because 1t reduces the revenue $60, 000, 900
per annum. Yet before this bill was
passed the Democratic complaint was that
we were piling up surplus annually.
Their leaders and. their papers were con-
stantly declaring that the accumulation OF
a surplus in the national treasury was a
constant temptation to extravaganza and
corruption. And now that the Republi-
cans have revised the tariff and prevented
further accumulation they are complain
ing that the treasury Is being stripped. They
have always demanded that the revenues Of
the government should not exceed its ex-
penses, and now that they do not they are
still unhappy. Evidently 1t Is impossible
to satisfy them.

We regret to observe that one of our
esteemed contemporaries is not quite in
genuous in its discussion of the relation
which the recently discovered election
frauds In Massachusetts bear to the Aus
tralian ballot law. These frauds were
committed entirely by the election inspec-
tors, the men who count the ballot. One
of these men-assuming the fact to be as
suspected-added a mark to the ballot
which it did not bear when it was deposit
ed in the box. and because that mark
rendered 1t impossible to tell for whom the
ballot was intended, it became necessary
to throw 1t out altogether. The ultimate
effect was precisely the same as II under
the old system, some one had surreptitious-
ly torn up a ballot, or in some way con-
cealed 1t. Now the friends Of the AustIal-
Ian ballot have never claimed that 1t added
any new safeguard to the counting of the
vote. They never claimed that 1t wa:
anymore difficult to falsify the count un
der the Australian system than under the
old system. They never claimed that a
rascally inspector Of elections would have
fewer opportunities or would find it more
difficult to manipulate the ballots when
thrown under the Australian plan than
when cast under the old plan. The Aus
tralian system was devised simply to ena-
BILE the voter to cast such ballot as he
saw fit. The publicity of the old system
had furnished INSCRIPTIONS men with OPP
portunities to coerce the voter by intimi-
dalton and by bribery. The Australian
system was invented to diminish these
opportunities. IL it has not done so, then
1t has failed of its purpose. If it is shown
that men are as easily bribed under this
system as under the old plan, and that
they are as easily intimidated, then the
Australian ballot law is discredited. But
to show that 1t is possible for rascal to
miscount the ballots after they are
deposited in the box, or to alter
one OF them so 1t must be thrown
out. has no tendency whatever to discredit
the Australian system. The provision of
the Massachusetts law by which 1t is
possible to determine by means of chal-
lenge and recount how a person voted
is undoubtedly defect. But 1t is defect
that can be easily remedied. 1t constitutes
no essential part of the Australian system,
and 1t does not exist In the Maine statute.

There are many reasons for suspecting
that Gov. Hill of New York and the Demo
cratic ring of which he is the central figure
are plotting to capture the Senate of New
York State. Hill has stoutly maintained
c0ata6infae r3sllacGtlon that that body would
the fact that the returns on their face in
dicated an excess of Republicans, and it is
difficult to look upon this prediction as
other than preparation for crooked work.
The stake which Hill and his fellow con-
spirators are playing for is pretty big
one for with the Senate in their control the
Democrats will have the power. not merely
to redistrict the state for Congressman and
state senators and representatives, but
they can il they choose capture the cleo
toral vote Of the state by providing that the
electors shall be appointed by the legisla-
ure, a perfectly legal method and one
which was In vogue In South Carolina as
late as the war. OF course such an act
would be an outrage, but nevertheless 1t
would be within the law aid no power
could annul 1t. II Hill were sure of the
Democratic Presidential nomination he
would not hesitate moment to undertake
such an enterprise. but the reflection that
such performance might enure to the
benefit Of Grover Cleveland whom he does
not admire may cause him to hesitate.

Self Possession Is IA Strong Trait.

There is nothing like self possession in
all emergencies. Not long ago a clever
woman was dining at a handsome board
in an interior city. She had never, as it
happened, seen lime juice offered in the
course of a meal. When the bottle was
handed around, some salad had just been
served to her, and without giving the
matter any thought she assumed the
liquid to be a sauce piquante for the salad
and dashed a few drops on her lettuce
hearts.
In an instant she became aware, by
hat sort of intuition which is in the air
at such times, that she had done some
thing wrong, and when she saw her
neighbor adding some of the contents of
the bottle to his glass of water, she di-
vined at once what her blunder had
been.
The meal progressed and she finished
her salad with apparent relish. Her
hostess pressed more upon her, and she
accepted a second serving. Then, with
a little air of not having everything
quite to her liking, she looked up and
down the table and signaled the waitress.
THE lime juice, please" she said
chalantly, as if salad without lime
juice were an UNBEATABLE dish. This bit
of adroitness at once set her in a niche
among the company as an eIicure of oc-
cult and unquestioned knowledge.-Her
